The utility model performs annular cutting of the citrus in the positioning bowl by the cutting assembly, so that an annular incision is produced at the waist of the citrus peel, the peeling process is fast, and the annular conveyor belt enables the cutting assembly to work in a cycle, which solves the problem that the current peeling machine may damage the pulp or has low efficiency.

[0004] However, the above patented technical solution also has certain defects: 1. The citrus is fixed by inserting multiple fixing needles into the orange peel, but this fixing method may cause the fixing needles to pierce the pulp, causing the pulp to rupture or damage, and if the fixing needles are not cleaned and disinfected in time after multiple uses, they may breed bacteria and other microorganisms, which may contaminate the citrus and pose a threat to consumers' health; 2. When the positioning bowl has a certain inclination angle, the citrus's own gravity is used to make it fall from the positioning bowl. Although the citrus pulp is not strongly squeezed, the citrus falling under the support seat may cause a certain degree of damage to the citrus pulp, and the integrity of the citrus pulp cannot be guaranteed.

[0028] Further examples:

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a lower hopper 12 is provided on one side of the processing table 1. The lower hopper 12 is inclined and is used to receive the peeled citrus fruits to avoid the citrus fruits from falling and causing the flesh of the citrus fruits to be damaged. At the same time, a collecting box 13 is provided at the bottom of the processing table 1. The collecting box 13 is located below the lower side of the lower hopper 12, so as to facilitate receiving the peeled citrus fruits. Abutments 15 are provided at the four corners of the top of the collecting box 13. Limiting rods 14 are provided between the abutments 15 and the inner wall of the bottom of the collecting box 13. A receiving plate 17 is provided on the outer surface of the limiting rod 14. The bottom of the receiving plate 17 is connected to the collecting box 13.

[0030] Everything in the above example works like this:

[0031] When in use, the citrus to be peeled is placed on the top of the storage tube 5 in the storage bowl 19, and the storage tube 5 is squeezed by the gravity of the citrus itself to make it slide along the outer surface of the installation tube 4, and the return spring 6 is squeezed to make it shrink continuously. At the same time, the storage tube 5 continuously squeezes the lower end of the limit plate 7 to make the upper ends close to each other, thereby fixing the citrus to be peeled to prevent it from deviating, thereby avoiding the citrus pulp from being broken or damaged, and also avoiding the limit plate 7 and other contamination of the citrus; then, start the conveyor belt 2 and make it start working, and then the storage bowl 19 on the conveyor belt 2 moves with the citrus, and when the gear 9 on the transmission shaft 3 contacts and meshes with the rack 11 on the fixed frame 10, the gear 9 drives the storage bowl on the transmission shaft 3 19 rotates, and then the peeling knife 8 is used to slide and cut the citrus peel, and then the conveyor belt 2 conveys the peeled citrus to the top of the lower hopper 12. As the storage bowl 19 tilts, the citrus inside it is also separated from the storage tube 5, and then through the elastic action of the return spring 6, the storage tube 5 is pushed to slide along the outer surface of the mounting tube 4, and the limiting plate 7 is separated from the citrus, so that the peeled citrus slides from the lower hopper 12 to the receiving plate 17 in the collection box 13, and then slides into the groove 18. As the citrus continues to slide onto the receiving plate 17, the receiving plate 17 is continuously squeezed by the telescopic spring 16, causing it to gradually shrink, thereby preventing the citrus from directly sliding to the bottom of the collection box 13 and causing the citrus pulp to be injured, thereby ensuring the integrity of the citrus pulp.
