Online continuous tender coconut cutting and forming equipment and method

Abstract

The invention discloses online continuous tender coconut cutting and forming equipment and a method. The equipment comprises a positioning and conveying device, a coconut body pressing device, a coconut body cutting device and an end cutting device. The positioning and conveying device comprises conveying chains and a plurality of positioning disc mechanisms, all the positioning disc mechanisms are distributed on the conveying chains at an equal interval, and each positioning disc mechanism is correspondingly provided with a tender coconut; and the coconut body pressing device, the coconut body cutting device and the end cutting device are sequentially arranged above the conveying chains, the coconut body pressing device and the end cutting device are arranged on the tender coconuts, and the coconut body cutting device is arranged on the two sides of the tender coconuts. The method comprises the steps that the tender coconuts are conveyed continuously through the positioning and conveying mechanism and pressed and locked through the coconut body pressing device; then, the outer-side cylindrical faces and top conical faces of the tender coconuts are cut and formed through the coconut cutting device; and finally, the bottom ends of the tender coconuts are cut through the end cutting device to form tender coconut products. By means of the online continuous tender coconut cutting and forming equipment and the method, manual operation can be replaced, continuous cutting and forming of the tender coconut products are achieved, and the equipment and the method are suitable for mass production of the tender coconut products.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit and vegetable processing, in particular to an online continuous cutting and shaping device and method for coconut greens. Background technique [0002] After the green coconuts are picked, they need to cut the green outer skin and process it into a uniform "circular house" shape exposing the white inner skin before it becomes a commodity for sale, so as to facilitate packaging, storage and transportation. The cutting process of coconut green is generally like figure 1 As shown, the contour of the green coconut fruit is first cut to the outer cylindrical surface, then the top of the cone is cut, and finally the bottom end is cut flat. [0003] Traditional coconut green cutting mainly uses manual methods, relying on a large number of workers to cut one by one with knives, which is labor intensive and low in efficiency. [0004] For this reason, some semi-automatic processing machines have also appeared on the...

Problems solved by technology

The application of these semi-automatic machines only slightly reduces the workload of workers, and the efficiency is not high, which cannot meet the demand of mass sales in the young coconut market.
