Design of an Automatic Device for Pomegranate Peeling and Fleshing
In order to solve the problems of low efficiency and potential damage of the flesh during traditional manual pomegranate peeling and flesh extraction,the method of peeling and extraction is investigated,and an automatic device based on SolidWorks 3D modeling software is designed.By solving the function element of the method of manual pomegranate peeling,the device is designed with five sets of process steps:limited outflow,positioning and switching,cutting and peeling,stretching and beating,and separating and collecting.In order to improve the efficiency of pomegranate flesh extraction,a serial-parallel conveyor line design is adopted to replicate the five sets of serial processes into four parallel groups,and the mechanical structure of the serial stations is designed and the feasibility is verified.The device distributes batches of pomegranates to four groups of processing lines simultaneously.The peeling and flesh extraction of each pomegranate includes three steps:head cutting,skin splitting and seed removal.Finally,the skin and flesh of the pomegranate are separated and collected to complete the whole process of peeling and fleshing.The design of the device provides a feasible solution for the quick peeling and fleshing of large quantities of pomegranates in the market.
