YIELD MONITORING APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS A sensor (200) for measuring yield harvested by a harvesting machine, the harvesting machine having a clean grain elevator (30) with elevator flights (32) configured to carry grain between a lower sprocket (35-2) and an upper sprocket (35-1) disposed within an elevator housing (20), whereby the elevator flights (32) thrown the grain in the direction of the sensor (200) as the elevator flights (32) pass over the upper sprocket (35-1), the upper sprocket (35-1) and the lower sprocket (35-2) defining an elevator plane (Pv), the sensor (200) comprising: a sensor surface (122) having a forward end and a rearward end disposed above the upper sprocket (35-1) in a direction parallel to the elevator plane (Pv); a support secured to the elevator housing (20), said support including a resilient flexible member capable of allowing said sensor surface (122) to move upward in translational movement with respect to said elevator housing 920), whereby said rearward end and said forward end of said sensor surface (122) move a substantially equal distance in substantially parallel relation; whereby the grain thrown by the elevator flights (32) imparts said upward translational movement of said sensor surface (122). |
