Abstract

Perfectioning on a measurement pendulum for stored grains mass in which a pendulum type measurer (1) formed by a protection structure (2), holds sensors (3) in its inside that have the direct interface with the outside through one or more transversal passages (4), provided of a porous protection (5) in order to measure the desired variables from the interstitial air that crosses the porous protection (5), and represents the grains characteristics in the outside.

Claims

1. A pendulum type measurer for stored grains (1) formed by a protection structure (2) that holds inside sensors (3), characterized by a direct interface of the sensors (3) with an outside being made by one or more transversal passages (4) that measure air variables directly from the outside, which represents characteristics of the grains.

2. The pendulum type measurer of claim 1, and also characterized by the transversal passages (4) having porous protection (5).

3. The pendulum type measurer of claim 1, wherein the sensor (3) is enclosed by a tubular porous protection (5).

4. The pendulum type measurer of claim 1, also characterized by the transversal openings (4) having dimensions 20 that do not allow the grains passage.
