[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Compared with the existing semi-manual coconut meat digging device which needs manual clamping, taking out and manual packaging of coconut shells and coconut meat, the clamping device in the application is always in a clamping state, the coconut enters the clamping cup and is directly clamped and fixed, the ring-shaped conveyor belt is continuously rotating, the clamping cup is continuously brought to the positions of the image recognition module and the coconut meat digging device to automatically dig the coconut meat, the coconut meat is completely separated from the coconut shell, and when the clamping cup is conveyed to the lower part for inversion, the clamping device and the trigger mechanism are combined to realize automatic separation and packaging of the coconut meat and the coconut shell, in the application, the mechanized and automated coconut conveying, coconut meat digging and packaging structure is adopted to replace the traditional manual clamping of coconut, manual packaging of coconut shells and coconut meat, the manual operation steps of the coconut meat digging work are simplified, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0017] Since the image recognition module comprises an optical camera, the coconut meat digging device comprises a digging knife, a digging knife mounting rod and a position adjusting mechanism, in the present application, the optical camera is used to collect images of the coconut in the clamping cup, the collected images are processed by relevant algorithms to obtain coordinate values required by the digging work, the position adjusting mechanism drives the digging knife to move according to the obtained coordinate values, and the digging knife is used to completely separate the coconut meat outer wall from the coconut shell inner wall, so that the accuracy of the coconut meat digging work is improved, and the situation that the coconut meat remains in the coconut shell is avoided.

[0018] Since the trigger mechanism comprises a stepped trigger plate, and the clamping device comprises a clamping seat, a sliding frame and a tension spring, in the present application, when the annular transmission belt conveys the clamping cup to the lower side, the clamping cup is rotated to the inverted state, and the coconut meat naturally falls off under the action of gravity; the stepped trigger plate is in contact with the sliding frame, and the sliding frame is driven to move, so that the clamping device releases the clamping force, and thus the coconut shell naturally falls off under the action of gravity; after the sliding frame leaves the stepped trigger plate, the sliding frame returns to the original position under the elastic force of the tension spring, and drives the clamping seat to return to the initial state, so that the automatic separation and sub-packaging of the coconut meat and the coconut shell are completed.

[0019] Since the one-way shaft cylinder is mounted on the clamping seat through the mounting shaft, and the ratchet on the mounting shaft is engaged with the one-way ratchet on the inner wall of the one-way shaft cylinder, in the present application, the one-way ratchet and the ratchet are arranged, so that the one-way shaft cylinder can only rotate around the mounting shaft in one direction; when the coconut enters the clamping cup, each one-way shaft cylinder is pressed against the outer wall of the coconut shell under the action of the tension spring and the clamping seat, and can rotate with the movement of the coconut shell, so that the coconut can smoothly enter the clamping cup for clamping; when the clamping cup is inverted, the coconut shell has a tendency to separate from the clamping cup downward under the action of gravity, and will apply a downward force to the one-way shaft cylinder, but the one-way shaft cylinder with the one-way rotation property cannot rotate, thus reliably limiting and supporting the coconut shell, and the coconut meat naturally falls off under the action of gravity while the coconut shell is clamped in the clamping cup, so that the automatic separation of the coconut meat is realized.
