TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing machinery and equipment, in particular to a lotus seed core penetrating machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fresh lotus seed core extraction is mainly divided into traditional manual extraction and mechanical extraction. Manual extraction mainly uses a fine needle or other tools to pick out the lotus seed core. This method has the disadvantages of high labor cost, low work efficiency and easy injury.

[0003] A full-automatic fresh lotus seed core penetrating machine is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN106490635B. The machine uses a stepper motor to drive a chain wheel to move, and uses the rollers of the chain wheel and the upper pressure wheel to position the lotus seeds. The lotus seed core is punched out from the side by a core penetrating punch driven by a side core penetrating cylinder, thereby realizing the core extraction operation. However, this method can only punch out a small amount of lotus seed core at a time, and the lotus seed core penetrating efficiency still needs to be improved. Moreover, the punched lotus seed core is adhered to the lotus seed body, causing the problem that the lotus seed core and the lotus seed body are difficult to completely separate. SUMMARY
