Description

CEMENT SILO FOR HOLDING CEMENT POWDER AND OTHER POWDERED MATERIALS USING COMPRESSION TO TRANSPORT LARGE AMOUNTS WITH LAND AND MARINE VEHICLES

Branch of Science Associated with the Invention

Engineering science related to the cement silo for holding cement powder and other powdered materials using compression to transport large amounts with land and marine vehicles.

Background of related art or science

In transporting large quantities of cement powder and other powdered materials, especially by marine vehicles, cement powder is loaded onto a ship floor and transported to its destination. During transportation, the cement powder, especially the top surface congregates, hardens and deteriorates due to moisture and contaminants. As a result, it becomes necessary to separate the cement powder, especially by discarding the top portion, which Would cause a loss of approximately 10-20 percent of the cement powder and other powdered materials prior to delivery - to customers. An additional drawback in transportation, especially by ship, is that if there are storms, heavy waves or strong winds, there is risk for damage to over 10-20 percent of the cement powder and other powdered materials before they are delivered to the customer. Furthermore, in transporting cement powder into a ship floor, a special machine such, as a crane or forklift is used from the side of the ship, which wastesva lot of lime and expenses for a large number of workers under the limited transportation areas. Moreover, the traditional type of transfer cannot be carried out during rains. This leads to delayed transportation and prevents scheduling, which can cause monetary losses as customers _;deem the aforementioned as filing to meet specifications. In addition, a number of cement powder and other powdered materials become, dust scattered during transportation, which causes pollution to the environment and communities.

Invention Characteristics and Objectives

The cement silo for holding cement powder and other powdered materials using compression to transport large amounts with ^''land* and marine vehicles is composed of as follows:

The silo body as determined by the outer edges is manufactured of strong pressure-resistant and temperature-resistant steel and formed into the shape of a cylinder or funnel, etc. The center portion of the silo body contains a cone. The diameter of the cone decreases as it tapers from the upper part of the silo body toward the bottom of the silo body. The cone functions to contain cement powder and other powdered materials. The silo body and the cone are assembled together such that they function together to contain cement powder and other powdered materials. The cone has a height that slopes downward to the bottom end of the cone at the bottom of the silo body.

At the upper part of the silo body is installed the man hole (3) for opening and closing by locking mechanism to provide a channel for transporting cement powder and other powdered materials into the cone located at the center of the silo body and provide storage space for powdered cement and other powdered materials inside the silo body. A part of the upper part of the silo body contains the upper walk railing to provide support for opening and closing the man hole. A part of the upper walk railing is connected to Ladder 1 installed on the outside of the silo body and forms into shape from the beginning at the upper part of the silo body to the lower part of the silo body to provide usage support for users who need to move to the lower part of the silo body, which can be the floor of a ship or bottom surface of a transportation vehicle. A part of the upper part of the silo body is equipped with a number of air ventilation pipes that functions to release pressure inside the cone at the center of the silo body when no pressure is desired for transporting cement powder and other powdered materials out from silo body via cement powder and other powdered materials release pipes.

The silo body is constructed such that pressure is caused inside the cone at the center of the silo body for released pressure to transport cement powder and other powdered materials out from the cone at the center of the silo body. A part of the outside of the silo body contains a number of belts manufactured of steel and shaped into a circular skeletal structure around the entire height of the silo body to function as a structure to resist pressure and provide strength to the silo body as well as prevent impacts from external forces.

The bottom of the cone for handling the installation of a number of canvas hoses formed in the form of cylindrical canvas hoses in which a number of canvas hoses are The number of canvas hoses are formed into ray lines such that the canvas hoses have different directions and formed into ray lines, which begin from the center of the cone where the ends of the cylindrical canvas hoses are against the outer rims of the interior of the cone. The areas of the cone are divided at the canvas hoses into two parts, namely, the large upper cone container area and the small lower cone container area (10). Furthermore, a number of canvas hoses formed into ray lines are spaced apart horizontally. The spacing of a number of canvas hoses creates a channel for cement powder and other powdered materials to pass from the large upper cone container area into the small lower cone container. A number of canvas hoses are connecred to number of air pipes with thicknesses capable of withstanding high pressure and temperature. Furthermore, a number of air pipes are connected to Air Pump 1 that functions to provide pressure to cause expansion or shrinkage of the number of canvas hoses such that cement powder and other powdered materials are loaded into the cone from the entry at the man hole, and cement powder and other powdered materials fall down onto the canvas hoses formed into ray lines. As the canvas hoses are made to expand by air pressure, the canvas hoses will raise the cement powder and other powdered materials upward and cause the cement powder and other powdered materials to loosen. The pressure from Air Pump 2 inserted into the cone passes through the air release pipe and is released through cement powder and other powdered materials Release Pipes No. 2 that function together with the open-close valve for the pressure attempting to get outside to carry cement powder and other powdered materials out.

A portion of cement powder and other powdered materials inside the small lower cone container area is released through a number of cement powder and other powdered materials Release Pipes No. 1 installed at the bottom of the silo body at the tip of the cone that connects the exit to the outside.

A number of cement powder and other powdered materials Release Pipes No. 1 at the end of the lower pipes are installed at the bottom of the silo body at the bottom of the cone and at positions lower than the number of canvas hoses. The lower part of the cone consists of the small lower cone container area where cement powder and other powdered materials drop toward due to gravity as a result of lifting by the canvas hoses as caused by air pressure through the passing channels of a number of canvas hoses spaced apart horizontally that act as Exit Channel 1 , which is a secondary channel.

The pressure from Air Pump 2 compressed into the cone and released through the number of cement powder and other powdered materials Pipe No. 2 that function together with the open-close valve as it tries to exit causes the cement powder and other powdered materials to be released more easily. Furthermore, the portion of cement powder and other powdered materials in Release Pipe No. 2 that form along the slope up toward the upper ends of the pipes above the silo body facilitate the transportation of cement powder and other powdered materials out from the top because the solo body is positioned inside a large ship and the upper ends of the amount of cement powder and other powdered materials are connected to quick-wearing pipe by removable locking mechanism to provide convenience in transporting cement powder and other powdered materials out from the ship's side or land and marine vehicles. At the other side of the quick-wearing release pipe is connected the transportation to another silo or target container and be Exit Channel 2, which is the primary channel.

A number of cement powder and other powdered materials Release Pipes No. 1 and a number of cement powder and other powdered materials Release Pipes No. 2 have two independent and separate transportation channels.
