MEASURING HOPPER WITH STORAGE BIN FOR GRANULAR MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A01K5/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to agriculture, particularly to batching granular material. The measuring hopper has a case, placed vertically, in the top part of which there is a feeding hole, and a discharge opening in the bottom cone-shaped part, in line with the vertical axis of the drive shaft. Two horizontal discs are rigidly fixed on the vertical drive shaft: one behind the feeding hole, and the other in front of the discharge opening. In each disc, there are apertures in form of a sector with aperture angle α less than 180° and the sectors are shifted from each other by 180°.

EFFECT: simplification of the design of the measuring hopper, increased accuracy of batching material, and reduced labour input into the process.
