摘要

The detector has a main silo (1) connected with a feed tube (4) through a belt (3). A motor (2) is fixed with the feed tube. A detection and emission module is provided with three main components and a feed detector unit. A receiver module receives a coded signal from a transmitter and a power source. Two feed components are fixed with a relay. The receiver module is placed in a contactor. The motor drives a conveyor. An output end of another relay is connected with a limit switch (5) on the feed tube in series.
