Prior Art

At present, a method for moistening grain is known RU 2539207, in which a stationary device for moistening the grain with a liquid is used to moisten the grain. This method is convenient, but has the disadvantage that a separate device is used to moisten the grain, designed only for this purpose, as a result of which additional time must be spent to moisten the grain and more grain transfers must be made.

An example of a specific application of the invention

The claimed method of moistening the grain according to the first embodiment is as follows.

To implement the claimed method, a bunker-loader is used. An example of a bunker-transfer-trailer can be, for example, a bunker-transfer company "Liliani" https://liliani.ru/product/grain-transfer-trailer/grain-transfer-trailer-16.s2.html. The bunker-loader is equipped with a container for liquid, a pump, tubes for supplying liquid and at least one nozzle. Also, at least one hole for at least one nozzle is provided in the design of the reloading hopper in the area where the grain moves. Examples of areas where grain moves are augers and other moving devices, bins and receiving bins where the grain is in constant motion during unloading or loading. Water is placed in the liquid container. Further, in the process of moving the grain, the grain is mixed with water in the area where the grain moves, which is injected using a pump and nozzles. If, for example, a dosing pump is used, the water can be injected in a dosed manner. The mixing of grain with water occurs as a result of grain movement.

Areas where the movement of grain, for example, can serve as an unloading and/or loading system. In this case, most often in the design of reloading hoppers, the loading system consists of a loading auger and a receiving hopper, and the unloading system consists of horizontal and vertical augers for unloading and a box into which grain enters from the horizontal auger, after which it moves to the vertical auger. It is obvious that in order to achieve a technical result, the nozzles can be located, for example, on the loading hopper, on the body of the loading auger, on the protective dispenser of the horizontal auger (protective system of the auger against crushing by grain), in the grain movement channel of the horizontal auger (under the auger, on the walls of the hopper or on the cleaning hatches), on the body of the vertical auger, on the box where the moving grain flows are connected - from the horizontal to the vertical auger, or other parts where the grain moves.

The inventive method of moistening the grain according to the second embodiment is as follows.

With the help of a transfer hopper, the grain is reloaded into a container into which it is necessary to reload the grain, characterized in that the transfer hopper is equipped with a pump and at least one nozzle, pipes for supplying liquid, and the design of the transfer hopper includes at least one an opening for at least one nozzle in the area where the movement of the grain occurs and with the help of the hopper, in the process of moving the grain, the grain is mixed with water in the area where the movement of the grain takes place, while using water that is outside the structure of the hopper .

The second embodiment of the invention differs from the first in that no liquid container is installed on the transfer hopper, but instead water is used that is outside the transfer hopper structure. For example, water can be supplied with a hose from a central water supply system, or water can be used from nearby reservoirs using a pump and pipes.

How much water to mix with the grain is determined individually and depends on the dryness of the grain and other factors.

The method is applicable to any hydroscopic grain. Such grain can be, for example, grain of wheat, barley, sunflower, etc.

The inventive grain moistening device is a grain transfer hopper, on which a pump, at least one nozzle, pipes for moving liquid and a control system are installed, while the design of the transfer hopper provides at least one hole for at least one nozzle on the area where the grain moves.

Additionally, at least one liquid container can be installed on the transfer hopper.

The pump in this device is necessary for pumping liquid from a container or from external sources to that part of the device where an opening for the nozzle is provided and where this nozzle is installed. Nozzles help to deliver liquid through the atomization to the area where the grain is moving. The control system can be a simple system that regulates the supply of a certain amount of liquid per unit of time, or an intelligent system controlled via a mobile computer that changes the dosed supply - based on data from moisture sensors built into the hopper or into the flow, to achieve a user-defined output result of humidification .

The liquid container can be filled with a fire extinguishing agent, and a device for applying the aforementioned fire extinguishing agent can be additionally installed on the grain transfer hopper. At the same time, additional liquid containers can also be built into the transfer hopper - to increase the capabilities of the fire extinguishing system. In this case, the grain moistening device can be used to extinguish fires.

If the liquid container is filled with a dressing agent and / or inoculant, then the grain moistening device can also be used when sowing grain for dressing or treatment with inoculants before reloading the grain into the seeder.

If 2 or more containers are installed on the grain moistening device, one of which is filled with water and the other with concentrated poison, then this device can also be used to prepare liquids for spraying fields with pesticides or plant protection products.

Industrial applicability.

Due to the fact that the moistening of the grain occurs during the reloading of the grain, the time required to perform agricultural work, including operations for moistening the grain, is reduced. In other words, the operations of reloading and wetting the grain occur simultaneously. For the same reason, the number of technical devices required to perform agricultural work, including grain moistening operations, is also decreasing. For example, humidification is used to increase the moisture content of grain before grinding in a mill or in feed production, where a separate grain moisture device must be used. For those industries where grain is supplied from floor storage warehouses or plastic sleeves by mobile vehicles, such as cars or tractors with trailers, this method allows excluding the moistening process from the technological chain of operations and doing it in parallel with the process of unloading from the bunker-loader.
