Patent ID: 6846102

Claim:
A grain agitating apparatus comprising: a guide shaft which is provided in a grain tank in which grain is stored; a drive roll which is brought into contact with a peripheral surface of the guide shaft, is rotated around the peripheral surface of the guide shaft when an axial direction thereof is inclined to one side with respect to an axial direction of the guide shaft, thereby being moved to one end side of the guide shaft, and is rotated around the peripheral surface of the guide shaft when the axial direction thereof is inclined to another side with respect to the axial direction of the guide shaft, thereby being moved to another end side of the guide shaft; a reversing component which is electrically driven, inclines the axial direction of the drive roll to the another side with respect to the axial direction of the guide shaft when it is detected that the drive roll has been moved to a movement limit position at the one end side of the guide shaft, and inclines the axial direction of the drive roll to the one side with respect to the axial direction of the guide shaft when it is detected that the drive roll has been moved to a movement limit position at the another end side of the guide shaft; and an agitating member which is moved integrally with the drive roll, is inserted into the grain, and agitates the grain.
