Zusammenfassung: | A NUT CRACKER HAS MATING SETS OF CRACKING RODS (16,18) ARRANGED IN CONCENTRIC CIRCLES ON A ROTOR (12) AND STATOR (10). THE RODS (16,18) DEFINE PRECISE ANNULAR CRACKING CLEARANCES THAT ENSURE THE NUTS ARE CRACKED WITHOUT BREAKING OR CRUSHING THE KERNEL. ANY NUTS THAT ESCAPE CRACKING IN AN OUTER RING ARE CAUGHT IN A SUBSEQUENT INNER RING. AT LEAST THE OUTER SETS OF RODS (16,18) BEAR REPLACEABLE WEAR SLEEVES (32). THE SLEEVES (32) PREVENT WEARING OF THE RODS AND FURTHER ALLOW THE CLEARANCES TO BE ADJUSTED BY MERE SELECTION OF THE OUTER SLEEVE DIAMETERS. THUS, A NUMBER OF THE SAME MACHINES CAN BE OPERATED IN PARALLEL, WITH EACH OPTIMIZED FOR A PARTICULAR RANGE OF NUT SIZE. |
