The invention discloses a water chestnut directional material distribution device and a water chestnut shelling device. The shelling device includes a frame, a material distribution device, a transport mechanism, a shelling device, a separation device, a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, a third Drive mechanism, when this device is used, place the water chestnut on the material distributing device to adjust the horizontal posture of the water chestnut, then the water chestnut is cut and expanded by the transport mechanism, the shelling device squeezes and peels the cut water chestnut shell, and the separation device will fall off The water chestnut shell is separated from the pulp, and the first drive mechanism, the second drive mechanism, and the third drive mechanism provide power to the overall material distribution device, the transport mechanism, the shelling device, and the separation device. This device cuts the water chestnut into two sections, and extrudes and shells it instead of cutting into multiple sections in the prior art, which avoids the loss of water chestnut flesh during multiple cuttings, and the unique feeding mechanism can ensure that the water chestnut enters the transportation mechanism as required Make a cut.
