<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose a seed-cracking machine without clogging the interior with hulls after cracking and interrupting seed-cracking operation. <P>SOLUTION: The apricot seed-cracking machine 1 includes each seed-transporting member 27 attached along the circular outer peripheral surface 26a of a vertical rotating disk 26 at an angular interval of 90°, and an externally opened recessed part 27a for cracking each seed, which is formed in the seed-transporting member 27. The recessed part 27a for cracking the seed receives the seed 8 in a seed-feeding position 28A in a state of an upward directing posture, and the hull of the seed 8 is cracked with a seed-cracking rod 31 pushed in from a lateral side with a cam mechanism 32 during movement to a seed-discharging position 28B in a downward directing posture. The seed 8 after cracking the hull is dropped from the recessed part 27a for cracking the seed in a seed-discharging position 28B and discharged. The recessed part 27a for cracking the seed is returned in a downward directing posture toward the seed-feeding position 28A, and thereby foreign materials remaining in the interior during the time are dropped and compressed air is blown from an air nozzle 36 to blow off the foreign materials. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
