[0058] Through the above method, the transmission mechanism is adjusted to adjust the rotation speed of the conveyor belt and the turntable, so that the whole device can work together. When the lotus seeds are transported from the conveyor belt to its end, they fall into the pipeline and are blocked by the lifting door. When the photoelectric sensors on both sides of the pipeline detect that the material transport mechanism rotates to the loading station, the solenoid valve controls the lifting door to rise, and the lotus seeds fall onto the placement table and are clamped by the clamping mechanism. As the turntable rotates to the cutting station, the second gear on the clamping plate meshes with the first gear of the cutting mechanism, and the second gear is driven to rotate under the rotation of the first motor, so that the lotus seeds rotate, and a larger opening is cut by the arc knife. Then the cut lotus seeds rotate to the unloading station and enter the extrusion channel under the push of the thrust cylinder. The lotus seed skin is squeezed and falls off, and the lotus seeds and lotus seed skins slide from different discharge channels to different collection devices.
