Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain storage device technology, and more specifically, to a multi-functional grain storage device for silos. Background Technology
[0002] As an essential resource for human survival, the safety and efficiency of large-scale grain storage directly affect the stability of the grain supply chain and resource utilization. Silos, with their advantages of small footprint, high space utilization, and strong sealing, have become the core equipment for large-scale grain storage. However, existing silos still have many technical shortcomings in practical applications: First, blockages are common during the grain loading process. Traditional silos often use a single inlet design, and the concentrated impact of gravity when grain falls can easily cause blockages in the loading channel and inside the silo. This not only affects loading efficiency but also requires manual cleaning, increasing labor intensity and safety hazards. Second, ventilation, moisture control, and insect prevention are ineffective. Existing silo ventilation systems are mostly external, one-sided airflow, which cannot penetrate deep into the grain pile. This leads to uneven temperature and humidity distribution inside the grain pile, making localized areas prone to dampness and heat, resulting in pests, mold, and grain loss. Furthermore, functional integration is low. The loading, ventilation, and unloading systems of most silos are independent, requiring multiple additional drive devices and control modules. This not only results in complex structures and high equipment costs but also poor operational coordination and inconvenient maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-functional silo loading and grain storage device, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-functional silo loading and grain storage device, including a support base, and a storage component is provided on the top of the support base; The storage component includes a protective chamber disposed on top of the support base, a partition is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the protective chamber, and a conveying cavity is formed between the top of the partition and the protective chamber. The bottom of the partition is provided with a number of first storage tubes, and the bottom of each first storage tube is provided with a second storage tube. The partition is provided with a number of through holes that are connected to the partition, so that the grain in the conveying chamber is diverted through the through holes and conveyed to the first storage tube and the second storage tube respectively.
[0005] Optionally, in a possible implementation, an air pump is provided on the outside of the protective chamber, and two solenoid valves are provided at the output end of the air pump. Each solenoid valve is provided with a connecting pipe, and one end of each of the two connecting pipes is provided with an air guide pipe. Several diversion pipes are provided on the air guide pipes, and the multiple diversion pipes are located directly above the corresponding through holes. The bottom end of each diversion pipe penetrates the partition and extends into the corresponding second storage tube. Optionally, in a possible implementation, a diverting rod is provided in the middle of the through hole, the diverting rod is engaged with the through hole, and is used to divert the material entering the first storage tube to avoid blockage. An air inlet valve is provided at the input end of the air pump, the air inlet valve is installed at the input end of the air pump through a flange. A feed impeller is provided at the top of the protective silo, and a motor for driving the feed impeller to rotate is provided at the top of the feed impeller. A gathering hopper is provided at the bottom of the protective silo, and a discharge valve is provided at the bottom end of the gathering hopper. The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting a cross-shaped diverting rod in the middle of the through hole of the partition, when the grain falls through the conveying chamber, the diverting rod can disperse the concentrated grain flow into multiple streams, avoiding the grain grains from being squeezed and piled up, thus solving the problem of blockage at the source; together with the feed impeller driven by the top motor, the grain can be fed at a uniform speed and evenly, improving the silo efficiency compared to traditional silos, and eliminating the need for manual intervention to clean, thus reducing labor costs.
[0006] The ventilation structure employs an air pump, air guide pipe, and multi-component diversion pipes. The top of the diversion pipe is located directly above the through hole, and the bottom extends to the bottom of the second storage pipe. After the airflow is ejected from the bottom of the diversion pipe, it can penetrate the entire grain pile, forming a vertical airflow circulation. At the same time, the ventilation path of different areas is independently controlled by two solenoid valves. The ventilation range and intensity can be flexibly adjusted according to the storage status of the grain pile, so that the temperature and humidity inside the grain pile are uniform and consistent, effectively inhibiting the breeding of pests and grain mold.
[0007] Furthermore, the interior of the protective silo is divided into a conveying chamber and a storage chamber by a partition. The storage chamber is composed of multiple sets of first and second storage tubes, which not only enables the orderly storage of grain in layers, but also allows for classified storage according to different grain varieties and storage times. At the same time, the conical structure of the gathering hopper ensures that the grain gathers quickly during discharge. With the help of the electric discharge valve, the discharge is smooth and residue-free, which is suitable for the storage and retrieval needs of various granular grains such as wheat, rice, corn, and soybeans.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] This embodiment discloses a multi-functional silo loading and storage device, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing silos being prone to blockage during loading and having poor moisture and insect prevention effects during grain storage.
[0016] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the support base 1 is made of high-strength Q235 carbon steel and welded with several evenly distributed anti-slip rubber pads at its bottom to ensure the stability of the device when placed. The protective chamber 2 is a hollow structure and its bottom is fixed to the center of the top end face of the support base 1 by bolts. The inner wall of the protective chamber 2 is coated with an anti-rust and anti-corrosion coating to extend its service life.
[0017] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the partition 3 is a steel plate with a diameter that matches the inner diameter of the protective silo 2. It is fixed to the top of the inner cavity of the protective silo 2 by welding. The partition 3 and the inner wall of the protective silo 2 fit seamlessly together to form a sealed conveying cavity. Several first storage tubes 4 are evenly welded to the bottom of the partition 3. The first storage tubes 4 are cylindrical steel pipes. The bottom of each first storage tube 4 is detachably connected to a second storage tube 5 through a flange. The inner diameter of the second storage tube 5 is the same as that of the first storage tube 4, and the axes of the first storage tube 4 and the second storage tube 5 are collinear to ensure smooth grain flow. A through hole 6 is opened on the partition 3 corresponding to the position of each first storage tube 4. The through hole 6 is circular, and its axis is collinear with the axis of the first storage tube 4, so that the grain in the conveying cavity can flow accurately into the first storage tube 4.
[0018] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the diverting rod 12 is a cross-shaped stainless steel rod. The outer side of the diverting rod 12 is detachably snapped onto the inner wall of the through hole 6 through a snap-fit structure. The top of the diverting rod 12 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the partition 3, and the bottom extends to the first storage tube 4 to ensure uniform diversion of the falling grain.
[0019] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the air pump 7 is a high-pressure blower of model HG-1500, which is bolted to the middle bracket on the outer wall of the protective chamber 2 (the bracket is not shown in the attached diagram). The output end of the air pump 7 is connected to two solenoid valves 8 of model 2W-160-15 via a T-connector. The two solenoid valves 8 control the ventilation path of different areas respectively. The output end of each solenoid valve 8 is connected to a connecting pipe 9 via a thread. The connecting pipe 9 is made of PVC. The air guide pipe 10 is also made of PVC and its diameter is adapted to the inner diameter of the protective chamber 2. The air guide pipe 10 is fixed to the upper edge of the partition 3 by clamps, and both ends are sealed to two connecting pipes 9 respectively. On the lower surface of the air guide pipe 10, a diversion pipe 11 is vertically welded to the position corresponding to each second storage pipe 5. The diversion pipe 11 is a stainless steel pipe, and its bottom end passes through the inner cavity of the partition 3 and the first storage pipe 4, extending to the bottom above the second storage pipe 5. The top end of the diversion pipe 11 is located directly above the through hole 6, ensuring that the airflow can evenly cover the grain falling path and storage area. (See attached...) Figure 2As shown, the input end of the air pump 7 is connected to an air inlet valve 13 via a flange seal. The air inlet valve 13 adopts a ball valve structure, which makes it easy to control the air intake. The air inlet end can be selectively connected to a drying device to further improve the ventilation and drying effect.
[0020] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the feed impeller 14 adopts a spiral impeller structure, and its outer diameter is adapted to the inner diameter of the top of the protective silo 2. It is installed at the top opening of the protective silo 2 through a bearing seat. The motor 15 is a three-phase asynchronous motor of model Y100L-2. It is fixedly installed on the outer side of the top of the protective silo 2 through a motor bracket. The output shaft of the motor 15 is connected to the central shaft of the feed impeller 14 through a coupling to drive the feed impeller 14 to rotate at a uniform speed. The gathering hopper 16 has a conical structure. Its top diameter is consistent with the bottom outer diameter of the protective silo 2. It is fixed to the bottom of the protective silo 2 by welding to facilitate grain gathering. The discharge valve 17 is an electric gate valve of model DN200. It is connected to the bottom discharge port of the gathering hopper 16 through a flange to realize automated control of discharge.
[0021] The specific working principle is as follows: During the silo entry process, the motor 15 is started, and the motor 15 drives the feed impeller 14 to rotate at a constant speed. The external grain is smoothly fed into the conveying chamber at the top of the protective silo 2 by the guiding action of the feed impeller 14. Under the action of gravity, the grain in the conveying chamber flows to the various through holes 6 on the partition plate 3. When the grain passes through the through hole 6, it is blocked and diverted by the cross-shaped diverting rod 12, which disperses the originally concentrated grain flow into multiple streams and evenly falls into the corresponding first storage tube 4 below, effectively avoiding the blockage problem caused by the accumulation of grain at a single through hole 6. The grain entering the first storage tube 4 continues to fall, and through the connection between the first storage tube 4 and the second storage tube 5, it is finally stored in the second storage tube 5, completing the warehousing operation.
[0022] During the grain storage ventilation and moisture prevention process, the air pump 7 is periodically started and the corresponding solenoid valve 8 is opened according to the grain variety and ambient humidity. It can be opened in one or both directions simultaneously. External air enters the air pump 7 through the air inlet valve 13. After being pressurized by the air pump 7, it is sent into the annular air guide pipe 10 through the connecting pipe 9. The airflow in the air guide pipe 10 is evenly distributed to each branch pipe 11. Since the bottom end of the branch pipe 11 extends to the bottom area of the second storage pipe 5 and the top end is located directly above the through hole 6, the airflow is ejected from the bottom end of the branch pipe 11 and flows upward through the grain pile in the entire second storage pipe 5 and the first storage pipe 4. On the one hand, it can remove the moisture and heat generated during the grain storage process. On the other hand, it can form an airflow circulation inside the grain pile to inhibit the breeding of pests and the mold of grain. The airflow is finally discharged from the gap or reserved exhaust hole at the top of the protective silo 2 to achieve dry ventilation of the grain storage environment.
[0023] When grain is needed, the discharge valve 17 is activated, and the grain in the second storage pipe 5 falls into the gathering hopper 16 under the action of gravity. After being gathered by the conical structure of the gathering hopper 16, it is discharged from the outlet of the discharge valve 17. It can be directly connected to external conveying equipment such as a conveyor belt to realize automated discharge without manual assistance.
[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
