GRAIN STORAGE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: grain storage has following components: grain storing structures, devices for grain moving and cleaning, swinging loading devices, grain drier, weighing facility, receiving bin, dispatching bin, and accumulating bins. Grain storing structures are made in the form of rectangular towers which are divided inside by inclined partitions into sections. Grain moving device is made up of turbocompressor, charging grain duct having lifting line and lowering line, discharge grain ducts, and tower bottom conveyors. Lifting line of charging grain duct is connected with turbocompressor and with device for gain release from receiving bin. Located on lowering line of charging grain duct opposite to inlet spouts of tower sections are swinging loading devices and grain distributing device. Discharge grain ducts are connected with outlet spouts of tower sections by means of grain release devices, and arranged under them are tower bottom conveyors which are brought to receiving bin. Grain cleaning device is made in the form of funnel-shape chamber located in upper part of grain charging duct and side air outlet branch with vertical pipe. Upper end of this pipe is open to atmosphere. Lower end of pipe is connected with waste collecting bin. Aforesaid construction of grain storage is simple in design. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 3 cl, 2 dwg
