The article discusses the use of a diaphragm impact sensor for measuring the flow rate of grain from bunkers. The sensor is designed to detect the impact of individual grains of grain as they fall from the bunker onto the sensor. This information can then be used to determine the flow rate of the grain, as well as other parameters such as the density and moisture content of the grain. The article explores the method of measuring the flow rate of a thick material using solid bodies such as a cone, beam, or circle which will be installed on the sensor. The sensor can be installed in a variety of locations within the bunker, including at the bottom, on the sides, or on the top. The sensor can also be integrated into existing grain flow monitoring systems to provide additional data and improve the accuracy of flow measurements. Overall, the diaphragm impact sensor offers a reliable and accurate solution for measuring grain flow from bunkers, providing valuable information for farmers, grain handlers, and other stakeholders in the grain industry. This method of using solid bodies to measure flow rate can provide an alternative to traditional methods and can be more efficient and accurate in certain situations.
