ABSTRACT:
A discharge system with dual doors and an intermediate auger for dispensing materials from a storage receptacle either beneath the receptacle or remotely. The operator may select to discharge stored materials beneath the receptacle by opening an upper door and lower door to permit gravitational discharge from the receptacle. An intermediate auger is remotely coupled to an auger system for remote discharge. The auger system comprises two discrete sections selectively coupled by a pivot assembly. During coupling, the second section arcuately moves from a stowed position into a discharge position wherein receptive contact is established with the first section. The first section comprises an elongated conveyor disposed between the upper and lower doors to receive dispensed materials for subsequent output adjacent the trailer periphery. The conveyor comprises a cylindrical housing supporting a terminal hydraulic motor that rotates an internal screw auger to propel dispensed particulate material inside the transporter to an output orifice for transfer into the second section for external delivery. The second section comprises an auger transporter that comprises a cylindrical housing supporting a terminal motor rotating an internal screw auger that propels materials therethrough to an external discharge spout. The pivot assembly comprises a reinforcing sleeve that circumscribes an intermediate portion of the auger transporter to secure a hydraulic cylinder and a hinge thereto. The cylinder and hinge are oppositely anchored to the frame in proximity. The hinge comprises a sleeve circumscribing collar defining an integral base that is journalled between an upper trunnion and a lower trunnion by a roll pin. The sleeve comprises a rigid cylinder that concentrically extends along a portion of the auger transporter and is secured thereto.
