AI Technical Summary
Existing hand-cranked chestnut openers tend to severely damage chestnut kernels when cutting them open, and the cutting depth is difficult to control.
Design a chestnut opening machine that uses a motor-driven rotating roller and wheel cutter structure. The wheel cutter forms a blocking mechanism with the support shaft through a spring-connected rotating arm to prevent the blade from cutting too deeply. The cutting depth is controlled by the blocking effect of the rotating wheel cutter.
This effectively reduces damage to chestnut kernels, ensures moderate cut depth, and achieves a longer opening effect.
