Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank technology, and in particular to a moisture-proof storage tank for feed in pig farms. Background Technology

[0002] Feed storage is a crucial aspect of daily pig farm operations. Feed quality directly impacts pig growth and health, and the storage environment significantly influences feed quality. Pig farms typically use feed storage tanks, which generally possess basic storage functions. Their purpose is to provide a relatively centralized storage space for feed, reducing spillage and exposure to external environmental influences, thus ensuring feed hygiene and safety to a certain extent. However, due to the complex environment and high humidity in pig farms, feed easily absorbs moisture from the air during storage, leading to dampness. Damp feed is not only prone to mold and spoilage, producing harmful substances that affect pigs' appetite and health, but also results in feed waste and increased farming costs.

[0003] Existing feed storage tanks in pig farms have several shortcomings in terms of moisture control. Firstly, most tanks lack effective active drying devices, relying solely on the tank's inherent seal to prevent external moisture from entering. However, in practice, the seal often falls short of expectations, allowing external moisture to seep in through gaps and causing the feed to become damp. Secondly, even if some tanks are equipped with simple drying measures, such as desiccant packets, these packets are difficult to replace promptly once they expire. Furthermore, replacement is cumbersome, requiring opening the tank, which increases the workload for workers and can introduce new moisture and impurities, further affecting the quality of the stored feed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a moisture-proof storage tank for pig farm feed.

[0005] The moisture-proof feed storage tank for pig farms includes a tank body, support legs, valve pipe, feed pipe, and pipe cover. Four support legs are fixedly connected at intervals at the bottom of the tank body. A valve pipe is connected to the bottom of the tank body, and a feed pipe is connected to the top of the tank body. A pipe cover is threadedly connected to the top of the feed pipe. The tank also includes a drying component, a sealing component, and a ventilation component. The drying component is located on the right side of the tank body. A sealing component is provided between the drying component and the right side of the tank body to seal the drying component. A ventilation component is provided between the sealing component and the drying component. The ventilation component is used to draw air from inside the tank body into the drying component, and the drying component is used to dry the air drawn in by the ventilation component.

[0006] Optionally, the drying assembly includes a mounting base, a fixed plate, a rotating shaft, a mounting block, a cylinder, and a screen. The mounting base is fixedly connected to the lower right side of the outer wall of the tank. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixed plate. The mounting block is fixedly connected to the upper part of the rotating shaft. Three cylinders are slidably arranged at intervals on the mounting block. The screen is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of each cylinder.

[0007] Optionally, the sealing assembly includes a mounting plate, an electric push rod, a lower pressure plate, a sealing ring, and a control panel. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the tank, and the electric push rod is installed on the right side of the mounting plate. The lower pressure plate is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod. Sealing rings are fixedly connected to the top and bottom plates of the three cylinders. A control panel is installed on the lower side of the outer wall of the tank, and the electric push rod is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0008] Optionally, the ventilation assembly includes an air pump, an extraction pipe, an outlet pipe, and a return pipe. The air pump is installed on the right side of the mounting plate. The extraction pipe is connected to the upper part of the tank. The end of the extraction pipe away from the tank is connected to the right side of the air pump. The outlet pipe is connected to the top of the air pump. The end of the outlet pipe away from the air pump is connected to the top left side of the lower pressure plate. The return pipe is connected to the bottom left side of the fixed plate. The end of the return pipe away from the fixed plate is connected to the lower side of the tank. The air pump is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes a humidity sensor and a servo motor. The humidity sensor is installed on the upper part of the return pipe, and the servo motor is installed in the middle of the bottom of the fixed plate. The output shaft end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft. Both the humidity sensor and the servo motor are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0010] Optionally, it also includes an observation window, which is embedded in the lower part of the tank.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By controlling the electric push rod and the air pump, this utility model allows the air inside the tank to circulate and dry through a sealed cylinder containing desiccant, effectively keeping the tank dry, preventing feed from getting damp and moldy, and reducing waste and breeding costs. Furthermore, when the desiccant becomes ineffective, it can be replaced simply by rotating the mounting block without opening the tank, making operation convenient, reducing labor intensity, and preventing the introduction of new moisture and impurities.

[0012] 2. This utility model uses a humidity sensor to monitor the air humidity in the return pipe in real time, which can accurately judge the drying effect of the desiccant in the left cylinder, realize the automatic replacement of the desiccant, and make the operation efficient and convenient, effectively ensuring the dryness of the feed storage environment in the tank.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example: Moisture-proof storage tank for feed in pig farms, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a tank body 1, support legs 2, valve pipe 21, feed pipe 22, and pipe cover 23. Four support legs 2 are welded and fixed at intervals at the bottom of the tank body 1. A valve pipe 21 for feeding feed is connected to the bottom of the tank body 1. A feed pipe 22 is connected to the top of the tank body 1. A pipe cover 23 is threadedly connected to the top of the feed pipe 22. The device also includes a drying component, a sealing component, and a ventilation component. A drying component is located on the right side of the tank body 1. A sealing component for sealing the drying component is provided between the drying component and the right side of the tank body 1. A ventilation component is provided between the sealing component and the drying component. The ventilation component is used to draw air from inside the tank body 1 into the drying component. The drying component is used to dry the air drawn in by the ventilation component.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drying assembly includes a mounting base 31, a fixing plate 32, a rotating shaft 33, a mounting block 34, a cylinder 35, and a mesh plate 36. The mounting base 31 is welded and fixed to the lower right side of the outer wall of the tank 1. The fixing plate 32 is welded and fixed to the top of the mounting base 31. The rotating shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixing plate 32. The mounting block 34 is welded and fixed to the upper part of the rotating shaft 33. Three cylinders 35 for containing desiccant are slidably arranged at intervals on the mounting block 34. The fixing plate 32 is used to support the cylinders 35. The mesh plate 36 is welded and fixed to the lower inner wall of each cylinder 35. The mesh plate 36 is used to support the desiccant in the cylinder and does not affect the downward airflow.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing assembly includes a mounting plate 41, an electric push rod 42, a lower pressure plate 43, a sealing ring 44, and a control panel 45. The mounting plate 41 is welded and fixed to the right side of the outer wall of the tank body 1. The electric push rod 42 is fixedly installed on the right side of the mounting plate 41. The lower pressure plate 43 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 42. The top and bottom plates of the three cylinders 35 are all fixed with sealing rings 44 by screws. The control panel 45 is installed on the lower side of the outer wall of the tank body 1. The electric push rod 42 is electrically connected to the control panel 45.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the ventilation assembly includes an air pump 51, an air extraction pipe 52, an air outlet pipe 53, and a return pipe 54. The air pump 51 is fixedly installed on the right side of the mounting plate 41. The air extraction pipe 52 is connected to the upper part of the tank body 1. The end of the air extraction pipe 52 away from the tank body 1 is connected to the right side of the air pump 51. The air outlet pipe 53 is connected to the top of the air pump 51. The end of the air outlet pipe 53 away from the air pump 51 is connected to the top left side of the lower pressure plate 43. The return pipe 54 is connected to the bottom left side of the fixed plate 32. The end of the return pipe 54 away from the fixed plate 32 is connected to the lower side of the tank body 1. The air pump 51 is electrically connected to the control panel 45.

[0023] During use, the operator unscrews the cap 23 and inserts the dry feed into the tank 1 through the feed pipe 22. After adding sufficient feed, the operator resets the cap 23 to seal the feed pipe 22, preventing external moisture from entering the tank 1. Then, the operator activates the electric push rod 42 via the control panel 45. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod 42 retracts, causing the lower pressure plate 43 to move upward. At this time, sufficient desiccant can be added to the three cylinders 35. Next, the operator controls the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 42 to extend, pushing the lower pressure plate 43 downward to squeeze the cylinders 35. Since the top and bottom of the cylinders 35 are equipped with sealing rings 44, both ends of the cylinders 35 are sealed when the lower pressure plate 43 presses down on the cylinders 35. The top and bottom of the left cylinder 35 are connected to the air outlet pipe 53 and the return pipe 54, respectively. The operator then activates the air outlet pipe 53 via the control panel 45. Pump 51, an air pump 51, draws air from tank 1 through suction pipe 52, injects it into left cylinder 35 through outlet pipe 53, and finally returns it to tank 1 through return pipe 54. The feed in tank 1 is cylindrical granules, so there are gaps between the feed granules. The air flowing back to tank 1 from return pipe 54 can spread to the upper side of the tank. When the air in tank 1 passes through cylinder 35, it is dried by the desiccant inside cylinder 35, thus keeping the air inside tank 1 dry and preventing moisture inside tank 1. After the desiccant in left cylinder 35 has been working for a period of time, the operator only needs to control the telescopic rod of electric push rod 42 to retract through control panel 45, so that pressure plate 43 moves upward and releases the pressure on cylinder 35. Then, rotate mounting block 34 to rotate the other cylinder 35 to the left, and then reset pressure plate 43. The operation is convenient and quick.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a humidity sensor 61 and a servo motor 62. The humidity sensor 61 is installed on the upper part of the return pipe 54, and the end of the humidity sensor 61 extends into the interior of the return pipe 54. The servo motor 62 is installed in the middle of the bottom of the fixed plate 32. The output shaft end of the servo motor 62 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 33. Both the humidity sensor 61 and the servo motor 62 are electrically connected to the control panel 45.

[0025] By setting a humidity sensor 61 and a servo motor 62, when the humidity sensor 61 detects that the air flowing into the return pipe 54 is still relatively humid, it indicates that the desiccant in the left cylinder 35 has a poor drying effect (i.e., has reached its service life). At this time, the humidity sensor 61 sends this signal to the control panel 45, and the control panel 45 then controls the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 42 to retract, and then starts the servo motor 62. The servo motor 62 drives the rotating shaft 33 to rotate 120 degrees, rotating the other cylinder 35 to the left, thereby achieving the effect of automatically replacing the desiccant.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an observation window 7, which is embedded in the lower part of the tank body 1.

[0027] By setting up observation window 7, staff can easily observe the amount of feed stored in tank 1.
