DEVICE FOR DETECTING PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF GRAIN IN EMBANKMENT AND METHOD OF ITS USE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A01F25/00 

FIELD: measurement.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to control and measurement processes during storage of grain in grain embankment in storage facilities of floor storage. Device for detecting physiological parameters of grain in embankment contains rigid rod and semi-rigid part in form of probe. Rod is made collapsible from deepening section and extension sections equipped with detachable connection units. Sharpening engaging element is installed on one end of the deepening section. Rod is equipped with force application unit installed at opposite end from engaging element. Probe is made in the form of reinforced shell with sensors arranged inside or outside. On one end of the probe there is an engaging loop. To use the device, the loop-hooking probe is placed on the sharpening engaging element of the deepening section. To penetrate into grain embankment, force application assembly is applied along rod lengthwise axis either manually or impact-pulse by means of vibration tool. As the probe penetrates into the grain embankment, the rod is extended to connect the extension sections by means of detachable connection units. Extraction of the bar from the embankment is performed without a probe, removing the extension sections as required.

EFFECT: technical result is possibility of installation of device with sensors of different purpose in grain embankments at depth of up to 6 meters in conditions of limited space at any angle.
