The kinematics of plane-parallel motion of a wheat or rye grain when moving in an inclined position in a scraper conveyor is considered. A kinematic diagram of the plane-parallel motion of the grain in the scraper conveyor was compiled, the position of the instantaneous center of the flat figure was determined, and options for the movement of grain in an inclined position at various possible positions of instantaneous center were considered. The profile of the grains is outlined by an elliptical curve. The point of contact of the elliptical profile of the caryopsis with the scraper makes a complex motion, while the horizontal speed of the scraper is portable for it, the sliding speed on the surface of the scraper is relative. The speed of the touch point of the grain with the pan is horizontal. For six possible positions of the instantaneous center, the directions of the velocities of the points of contact of the grains and the friction forces acting in them are determined. Grains of wheat or rye, moved in a scraper conveyor, in some cases can make plane-parallel movement. The point of contact of the elliptical profile of the caryopsis with the scraper makes a complex motion, while the horizontal speed of the scraper is portable for it, the sliding speed on the surface of the scraper is relative. The speed of the touch point 2 of the grain with the pan is horizontal.
