    DEVICE FOR SEPARATING FRUIT AND HULL FROM A HULL FRUIT
    The present invention relates to a device for separating the fruit and shell of a nut. In the field of agricultural production and more particularly the production of ready-to-eat nuts, the market wishes to be able to offer nuts in the form of ready-to-eat fruits, that is to say separated from their shell or shell. In culinary use, nuts can also be used and need to be separated from their shells, ready for use.
    The shell is a rigid shell and not consumable in the food sense, the fruit contained and protected by the shell, is softer and more fragile.
    As part of nut production for example, this step is called enoisage. This step is mainly done by hand to allow to extract the fruit without risking its degradation. Indeed, the separation of the fruit and its shell is achieved by breaking the shell to extract the fruit. The difficulty lies in having to crush the nut to a sufficient degree to break the shell but with a moderate force that allows the preservation of the fruit. The automation of the process of extraction of the fruit from its hull, must be able to be carried out without risk of congestion and congestion that could be induced by the accumulation of broken hull waste, and cause a malfunction. It is therefore necessary to provide a fruit separation and a simultaneous non-degrading removal for the fruit. It should be noted that, in the case of nuts, the convolutions of the fruit and the hull make separation difficult.
    The present invention is described according to a main embodiment and its variants with reference to the associated drawings in which the different figures represent:
    Figure 1: a perspective view of the device
    FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the rotor of the device of FIG.
    FIG. 3: a front view of the device of FIG. 1,
    Figure 4: a view of the inclined device in operation
    FIG. 5: a front view of a reduced diameter configuration of FIG. 3,
    Figure 6: a front view of a compressed-shell fruit
    Figure 7: a side elevational view of a conical shaped configuration,
    FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show the device comprising a stator 10 and a rotor 12 located in the stator 10.
    The stator 10 has a shape of revolution about an axis XX 'longitudinal.
    The stator 10 comprises sectors 14-1... 14-n of curved shapes. Each sector 14 has a curved shape along its entire length, the concavity of which is oriented towards the inside of the form of revolution.
    The sectors 14 are partially superimposed, like roofing tiles or scales, longitudinally and along their length, parallel to the axis XX '. Counterclockwise, according to the embodiment, it is found that the sectors 14 have a first part 16 outside the shape of revolution which partially overlaps the sector 14-1 previous and a second part 18 inside the form of revolution which is covered by the next sector 14-2. This superposition generates a "step" of a height substantially equal to the thickness of the sector.
    This arrangement is particularly visible in FIG.
    Each sector 14 is provided with a rigid support 20-1 ... 20-n fixed longitudinally on the outer surface 16 of said sector 14. Each rigid support 20 is mounted on a radial adjustment means 22-1. relative to a fixed frame B. Each radial adjustment means 22-1, 22-n comprises, in the embodiment shown, at least one screw-nut assembly, in this case two assemblies, an upstream assembly. 22-1F ... 22-1R and a downstream assembly 22-nF ... 22-nR.
    The rotor 12 has a profile of revolution and has the axis of rotation axis XX '. Said rotor 12 comprises a central shaft 24 coaxial with the axis XX '.
    In the embodiment shown, the shaft 24 carries supports 26-1 ... 26-n arranged monolithically or separated from each other. In this case, each support 26 is of square section centered on the axis XX 'and is shifted angularly by about 30 °. Each of said supports 26 is angularly adjustable on the axis XX '. These adjustments make it possible to adjust the offsets of a support 26 to the other.
    Compression means 27, fixed on each support 26, are attached to the faces of said support 26. In a preferred embodiment, the compression means are strips 28 which are fixed on each support 26 with a square section and are therefore offset with respect to the axis XX '.
    These strips 28 are made of a material having a certain flexibility allowing deformation.
    A working space is defined between the sectors 14 and the end of the lamellae 28. This working space varies radially between a distance d defined between the end of each lamella 28 and the step, and a distance D defined between the end each lamella and the next sector immediately after said walking.
    The operation of the device which has just been described is explained with regard to FIG. 4. A shell fruit C is disposed at the inlet of the device, the example given being a nut.
    This nut shell Ç has preferably been weakened by shock or pre-cutting on the shell. The shaft 24 is rotated by any suitable motor means and not shown.
    The supports 26 of the slats 28 are rotated. The nut is rolled by the slats 28 along the inner wall constituted by the sectors 14. The slats 28 simultaneously exert pressure on the fragile or weakened shell. This pressure varies because of the variation in distance between the lamellae 28 and said inner wall of the stator 10.
    The pressure exerted is all the more important as the distance is reduced.
    The device comprising several supports 26 each provided with several compression means, more particularly the strips 28, makes it possible to carry out several progressive and successive compressions on the same fruit and simultaneously on the various other nuts. These nuts eventually see their hulls separate, and release the fruit. The size of these pieces of shell and kernels or pieces of kernels is then less than the distance d. As the device is positioned in an inclined manner as shown in FIG. 4, the nuts progress along the axis XX 'by gravity and rolling so that these pieces accumulate by gravity in the lower part of the stator 10 and 'evacuate.
    It is the same fruits and separate shells that are removed at the bottom of the device and then separated by any sorting means for example sieve and / or blowing.
    In Figure 5, there is shown the device of reduced diameter.
    The average distance between the end of the lamellae 28 and the sectors 14, is chosen according to the size of the nuts to be treated, that is to say their diameter of a few centimeters to give an idea.
    FIG. 6 shows a nut with compression between a sector 14 and a lamella 28. It can be noted the influence of the sectors which enable the lamellae to have a good rolling and compressing action on the C-shell fruit.
    In Figure 7, a variant of the device is shown. The stator 10 around the longitudinal axis XX 'has a conical revolution shape so that the crushing of the nuts is made increasingly as the displacement of the nuts in the stator, from top to bottom .
    A variant of the device, not shown, provides means for varying the working space, either by adjusting the dimensions of said rotor 12, or by integral change of the rotor 12. These two possibilities thus allow the adaptation of the distance between the end of the crushing means 27 and the wall of the stator 10.
    A variant of the device, not shown, gives the possibility of reversing the stator 10 and the rotor 12 as defined above, the stator 10 becoming mobile in rotation and the rotor 12 becoming fixed.
    According to another simplified variant, the steps may be derived from a smooth, cylindrical inner wall on which wire radial protuberances are arranged.
    According to another variant, the slats 28 can be replaced by fingers of round or oval section.
    According to yet another variant, an accessory in the form of a truncated cone, provided at the periphery with radial fins and interposed on the axis XX 'to break any shells that would have resisted the actions of the compression means which previous.
