Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphite product storage technology, and in particular to a graphite product storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Graphite products are widely used in many industrial fields such as metallurgy, chemical industry, machinery, and aerospace due to their excellent thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, chemical stability and lubrication properties. However, graphite materials have a porous structure and are very sensitive to environmental humidity. When the humidity in the air is too high, it will absorb moisture, which will lead to a decline in its physical and chemical properties, such as reduced strength and accelerated oxidation rate, which will seriously affect product quality and service life.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN221738760U, which discloses a graphite product storage device, relating to the field of graphite technology. The device includes a storage box with a door on the front side, a storage panel inside, and a desiccant storage box on the outside. A screw feeder is installed at the bottom inside the box. The screw feeder includes a mesh cylinder, a pusher screw, and a motor. The pusher screw is coaxially rotatably mounted inside the mesh cylinder. The motor is mounted at the end of the mesh cylinder and is connected to the pusher screw. The mesh cylinder has an inlet and an outlet at its two ends. The inlet is closable and communicates with the inner cavity of the desiccant storage box, while the outlet is closable and located outside the storage box.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned storage device can isolate the external environment to a certain extent, it has obvious defects: when it is necessary to take out some products and open the cabinet door, the entire cabinet space will come into full contact with the outside humid air, causing all the stored graphite products to be exposed to changing humidity at the same time. Repeated opening and closing operations will continuously introduce moisture, making it difficult to maintain the humidity inside the cabinet at a stable low level, which greatly increases the risk of the products getting damp. Therefore, it still has certain shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a graphite product storage device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A graphite product storage device includes a base frame, a cylindrical cabinet for storing graphite products at the top of the base frame, a support frame for supporting the graphite products rotatably mounted inside the cylindrical cabinet via bearings, the support frame including a hollow support column with one end located inside the cylindrical cabinet and the other end passing through the cylindrical cabinet and extending upward, and a plurality of chambers arranged in a circular array on the outer wall of the hollow support column, a door for cooperating with each individual chamber on the outer wall of the cylindrical cabinet, a drive motor for driving the support frame to rotate so that each chamber corresponds to a door at the bottom of the cylindrical cabinet, and a drying component is disposed inside the hollow support column.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the chamber is composed of a bottom plate fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the hollow support column, a top plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support column, a vertical partition fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support column and located between the top plate and the bottom plate, and a transverse partition disposed between the vertical partitions.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a support cylinder is provided on the top of the cylindrical cabinet, a cylinder cover is provided on the top of the support cylinder, and the top of the drying component is connected between the support cylinder and the cylinder cover and fixed by a locking buckle.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the drying assembly includes a storage tank and a desiccant disposed inside the storage tank, wherein the top of the storage tank is disposed between the support cylinder and the cylinder cover.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the storage barrel adopts a hollow structure and is filled with desiccant. The hollow support column is provided with a vent hole that communicates with the storage barrel.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, sealing gaskets are provided between the door and the cylindrical cabinet, as well as between the support cylinder, the storage bin and the cylinder cover.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a graphite product storage device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This graphite product storage device uses a drive motor to rotate the support frame, aligning each chamber with the door for storage and retrieval. This changes the traditional storage cabinet model where all parts are exposed when the door is opened. When retrieving graphite products, only one chamber will briefly come into contact with the external environment, while the vast majority of other chambers remain under the protection of the sealed cabinet. This effectively reduces the amount of moisture introduced during each storage and retrieval operation and effectively maintains the stability of the overall humidity of the storage space. 2. When the desiccant needs to be replaced, the storage container can be taken out simply by opening the top cover of this graphite product storage device. There is no need to open any access door or move or touch the graphite products in the chamber, thus improving the convenience of replacing the desiccant. 3. The graphite product storage device adopts a ring array chamber design, and is further subdivided in the radial and vertical directions by vertical and horizontal partitions, so as to maximize the utilization of storage space and realize the orderly storage of products by category and partition.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0016] Reference Figure 1-6A graphite product storage device includes a base frame 100, a cylindrical cabinet 200 for storing graphite products mounted on top of the base frame 100, and a support frame 300 for supporting the graphite products rotatably mounted inside the cylindrical cabinet 200 via bearings. The support frame 300 includes a hollow support column 301 with one end located inside the cylindrical cabinet 200 and the other end passing through the cylindrical cabinet 200 and extending upward, and a plurality of chambers 302 arranged in a ring array on the outer wall of the hollow support column 301. The outer wall of the cylindrical cabinet 200 is provided with... The door 201, which cooperates with the individual chamber 302, is equipped with a drive motor 400 at the bottom of the cylindrical cabinet 200 for rotating the support frame 300 so that each chamber 302 corresponds to the door 201. The drive motor 400 is a stepper motor, which rotates a fixed angle each time. Each rotation corresponds one chamber 302 to the door 201. Opening the door 201 allows for easy access and storage of the graphite products inside the chamber 302. The hollow support column 301 is equipped with a drying component 500.

[0017] The chamber 302 consists of a bottom plate 303 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the hollow support column 301, a top plate 304 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support column, a vertical partition 305 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support column and located between the top plate 304 and the bottom plate 303, and a horizontal partition 306 disposed between the vertical partitions 305. The top plate 304, the bottom plate 303, the vertical partitions 305 and the hollow support column 301 form several large chambers. With the help of the horizontal partitions 306, the large chambers are divided into two layers, which maximizes the use of storage space, realizes the classification and orderly storage of products, and further reduces the entry of moisture.

[0018] The cylindrical cabinet 200 has a support cylinder 202 on top, and a cylinder cover 203 on top of the support cylinder 202. The top of the storage tank 501 is connected between the support cylinder 202 and the cylinder cover 203 and is fixed by a locking buckle 204. Specifically, the locking buckle 204 includes a screw on the top of the support cylinder 202 and a locking bolt threaded to the screw. Both the storage tank 501 and the cylinder cover 203 have through holes that mate with the screw. In use, the through holes on the storage tank 501 are aligned with the screw and installed inside the hollow support column 301. Then, the cylinder cover 203 is placed above the storage tank, still passing through the screw, and the locking bolt is tightened to fix it. When the desiccant is saturated and needs to be replaced, the operator only needs to open the locking buckle 204, remove the cylinder cover 203, and the entire storage tank 501 can be taken out from the support cylinder 202 to replace or regenerate the desiccant.

[0019] The drying assembly 500 includes a storage tank 501 and a desiccant disposed inside the storage tank 501. The top of the storage tank 501 is located between the support cylinder 202 and the cylinder cover 203. It should be noted that the desiccant can be silica gel desiccant, molecular sieve desiccant, etc., which are existing mature technologies and will not be elaborated further here.

[0020] The storage bin 501 has a hollow structure and is filled with desiccant. The hollow support column 301 is provided with a vent 3011 that is connected to the storage bin 501. The storage bin 501 and the hollow support column 301 are connected through the vent 3011. The air inside the device can flow through the vent 3011 through the storage bin 501. The desiccant absorbs the moisture in the air and reduces the internal humidity.

[0021] To improve the airtightness of the cabinet, prevent the infiltration of external moisture, and ensure the stability of the internal environment after drying, sealing gaskets 600 are installed between the door 201 and the cylindrical cabinet 200, as well as between the support cylinder 202, the storage bin 501, and the cylinder cover 203.

[0022] Specifically, when this graphite product storage device is in use: the drive motor 400 operates, causing the support frame 300 and all the chambers 302 on it to rotate within the cylindrical cabinet 200. When a specific graphite product needs to be stored or retrieved, the drive motor 400 is controlled to rotate the target chamber 302 to a position aligned with the door 201. At this time, the operator only needs to open a single door 201 to expose the corresponding chamber 302, while the vast majority of other chambers 302 remain under the airtight protection of the cylindrical cabinet 200. This effectively reduces the types of items and cabinet space that come into contact with external humid air during each storage or retrieval operation, effectively maintaining the low humidity stability of the overall storage environment.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
