Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automatic material discharge, and more particularly to an automatic material discharge device for vertical storage warehouses. Background Technology

[0002] Automated storage warehouses, also known as vertical storage warehouses, are cylindrical in shape and used to store pelleted feed. Existing vertical warehouses have discharge outlets on their bottom walls, through which the pelleted feed is discharged. However, opening and closing the discharge outlets requires workers to manually open or close them. Furthermore, the discharge speed of the pelleted feed inside the warehouse is slow. Therefore, workers often use sticks or other objects to push the feed down from the top of the warehouse to speed up the discharge. While this method can accelerate the discharge, it consumes a lot of physical strength, has limited effectiveness, and poses certain safety risks.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic discharge device for vertical storage warehouses to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an automatic discharge device for vertical feed silos, which solves the technical problems of existing vertical feed silos where the opening and closing of the discharge port requires personnel to walk to the discharge port to manually open or close it. Furthermore, the discharge speed of granular feed in the vertical feed silo is slow, which consumes a lot of physical strength of the personnel and has limited effect, and also poses certain safety risks.

[0005] In view of this, this application provides an automatic discharge device for a vertical storage unit, including a base, a vertical storage unit body, and a discharge device. The vertical storage unit body and the discharge device are both mounted on the base. A discharge port is provided at the lower part of the vertical storage unit body. The discharge device includes a switch box and a first motor box. The switch box is covered on the discharge port and fixedly connected to the vertical storage unit body. The first motor box is located on the right side of the switch box and is fixedly connected to the base. A baffle plate is provided inside the switch box. Horizontal sliding grooves are provided at the top and bottom of the switch box. The upper and lower edges of the baffle plate are placed in the horizontal sliding grooves. A first drive motor and a rack are provided inside the motor box. A gear is provided on the output shaft of the first drive motor. The rack meshes with the gear. One end of the rack passes through the first motor box and into the switch box, where it is fixedly connected to the baffle plate. The other end passes through the right side of the first motor box. A pressure plate is provided inside the vertical storage unit.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the vertical storage unit is provided with a second motor housing, and the motor housing is provided with a second drive motor. The bottom of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to the second motor housing. Vertical grooves are symmetrically provided in the two side walls of the vertical storage unit. Slider blocks are provided on both sides of the pressure plate, and the sliders are placed in the vertical grooves. A tightening band is provided at the middle of the upper end face of the pressure plate. The other end of the tightening band passes through a first through hole and is fixedly connected to the second drive motor in the second motor housing.

[0007] Preferably, both the first motor housing and the switch housing are provided with a second through hole through which the rack passes.

[0008] Preferably, a switch controller is provided on the left side of the vertical storage unit, and the bottom of the switch controller is fixedly connected to the base. The switch controller is electrically connected to the first drive motor and the second drive motor respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the vertical storage chamber is funnel-shaped, and a vertical discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the funnel, with the lower end of the vertical discharge pipe connected to the discharge port.

[0010] Preferably, a feed pipe is provided on the upper left side of the vertical storage unit, and the feed pipe is connected to the interior of the vertical storage unit.

[0011] Preferably, the pressure plate is a solid iron plate.

[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of this application have the following advantages: This application provides an automatic feeder discharge device for vertical storage silos. When the silo is discharging feed, a switch control, a first drive motor, and a second drive motor are all electrically connected to an external power source. An operator controls the switch controller, which energizes and rotates the first and second drive motors. At this time, the first drive motor rotates, driving a gear on its output shaft. The gear rotates, causing a rack to move, which in turn moves a baffle plate away from the discharge port. The feed then flows out of the silo. Simultaneously, the second motor rotates, causing its output shaft to rotate and, through a tightening belt, lowers a pressing plate onto the feed inside the silo. This increases the speed at which the feed flows out of the discharge port, thus completing the discharge process. The system automatically discharges feed. When discharge is complete, the switch controller reverses the power supply to the first and second drive motors. The first drive motor drives the gear, which in turn drives the rack to push the baffle back to block the discharge port, preventing feed from flowing out. Simultaneously, the second drive motor reverses and pulls the pressing plate upwards to the top of the silo via the tightening belt, so that the pressing plate no longer presses down on the feed, thus stopping the discharge. This achieves automatic opening and closing of the silo discharge port, eliminating the need for manual operation, saving manpower, and eliminating the need for workers to use sticks or other objects to push the feed down from the top of the silo to speed up the discharge, saving workers' energy, avoiding safety risks, and improving discharge efficiency.

[0019] For easier understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 3This application provides an embodiment of an automatic discharge device for a vertical storage silo. The vertical storage silo body 1 and the discharge device are both mounted on a base 2. A discharge port 9 is located at the lower part of the vertical storage silo body 1. The discharge device includes a switch box 4 and a first motor box 3. The switch box 4 covers the discharge port 9 and is fixedly connected to the vertical storage silo body 1. The first motor box 3 is located on the right side of the switch box 4 and is fixedly connected to the base 2. A baffle plate 8 is provided inside the switch box 4. Transverse grooves 19 are provided at the top and bottom of the switch box 4. The upper and lower edges of the baffle plate 8 are positioned within the transverse grooves 19. In section 9, the motor housing contains a first drive motor 5, a rack 7, and a gear on the output shaft of the first drive motor 5. The rack 7 meshes with the gear 6. One end of the rack 7 extends out of the first motor housing 3 and into the switch housing 4, where it is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 8. The other end extends to the right side of the first motor housing 3. The vertical silo contains a pressing plate 15, which ensures that when the vertical silo is discharging material, the switch control, the first drive motor 5, and the second drive motor 13 are all electrically connected to an external power source. The operator controls the switch controller 12, which controls the first drive motor 5... When the first drive motor 5 and the second drive motor 13 are energized and rotate in the forward direction, the first drive motor 5 rotates, driving the gear 6 on its output shaft to rotate. The rotation of the gear 6 drives the rack 7 to move, and the movement of the rack 7 drives the baffle plate 8 to move. The baffle plate 8 moves away from the discharge port 9, and the feed in the vertical silo flows out of the discharge port 9. At the same time, the rotation of the second motor drives its output shaft to rotate, and through the tightening belt 14, the pressing plate 15 is lowered and pressed on the feed in the vertical silo. At this time, the speed at which the feed flows out of the discharge port 9 will increase, thus completing the automatic discharge. When the discharge is completed, the switch controller 12 controls the energization of the first drive motor 5 and the second drive motor 13 in the reverse direction. The first drive motor 5 drives the gear 6, which in turn drives the rack 7 to move, pushing the baffle plate 8 back to block the discharge port 9, preventing feed from flowing out of the discharge port 9. At the same time, the second drive motor 13 reverses and pulls the pressing plate 15 upward to the top of the vertical silo through the tightening belt 14, so that the pressing plate 15 no longer presses down on the feed, thereby stopping the discharge. This realizes the automatic opening and closing of the vertical silo discharge port 9 without manual operation, saving manpower. It also eliminates the need for workers to use sticks or other objects to reach into the vertical silo from the top to poke the feed downward to speed up the discharge, saving workers' physical strength, avoiding safety risks, and improving discharge efficiency.

[0020] Preferably, the top of the vertical storage unit is provided with a second motor housing 11, and a second drive motor 13 is provided inside the motor housing. The bottom of the second drive motor 13 is fixedly connected to the second motor housing 11. Vertical grooves 17 are symmetrically provided in the two side walls of the vertical storage unit. Slider blocks 16 are provided on both sides of the pressure plate 15. The sliders 16 are placed in the vertical grooves 17. A tightening band 14 is provided at the middle of the upper end face of the pressure plate 15. The other end of the tightening band 14 passes through a first through hole into the second motor housing 11 and is fixedly connected to the second drive motor 13. When the vertical storage unit... During discharge, the switch control and the second drive motor 13 are both electrically connected to an external power source. The operator controls the switch controller 12, which in turn controls the second drive motor 13 to rotate forward. The rotation of the second motor drives its output shaft to rotate and, through the tightening belt 14, lowers the pressing plate 15 downwards, pressing it onto the feed inside the vertical silo. At this time, the speed at which the feed flows out of the discharge port 9 will increase. This achieves faster discharge without the need for the operator to use sticks or other objects to reach into the vertical silo from the top and poke the feed downwards, saving the operator's physical strength, avoiding safety risks, and improving discharge efficiency.

[0021] Preferably, both the first motor housing 3 and the switch housing 4 are provided with a second through hole for the rack 7 to pass through, so that the first drive motor 5 can rotate to drive the gear 6, the gear 6 can drive the rack 7 to move, and the movement of the rack 7 can drive the baffle plate 8 to close or open the discharge port 9, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the discharge port 9 of the vertical storage, saving the labor of manual operation, and thus improving the discharge efficiency of the vertical storage.

[0022] Preferably, a switch controller 12 is provided on the left side of the vertical warehouse. The bottom of the switch controller is fixedly connected to the base 2. The switch controller 12 is electrically connected to the first drive motor 5 and the second drive motor 13 respectively. The switch controller 12 is a PLC controller used to control the working status of the first drive motor 5 and the second drive motor 13.

[0023] Preferably, the bottom of the vertical storage tank is funnel-shaped, which facilitates the flow of feed from the vertical storage tank to the discharge port 9. The bottom of the funnel is provided with a vertical discharge pipe 18, and the lower end of the vertical discharge pipe 18 is connected to the discharge port 9. When the vertical storage tank discharges feed, the feed first flows from the vertical storage tank to the bottom funnel, then from the funnel into the discharge pipe, and finally flows through the discharge pipe to the discharge port 9, thus realizing the discharge.

[0024] Preferably, a feed pipe 10 is provided on the upper left side of the vertical storage unit. The feed pipe 10 is connected to the interior of the vertical storage unit and is used to facilitate the pouring of external feed into the vertical storage unit for storage.
