Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit pitting devices, and in particular to a pitting device that can preserve the integrity of fruit. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, more and more fruits are being made into preserves. In the past, preserves were usually cut into strips or chunks, which made pitting easy. However, if small fruits are pitted, the flesh is damaged, which seriously affects the taste. In addition, smaller fruits lose moisture faster. For small fruits, such as cherries and longans, it is better to keep the flesh intact when pitting. However, existing pitting devices either damage the flesh too much or are too small to easily remove the pit. They are also not very stable in pitting, and the pit size varies from fruit to fruit, so they cannot be adapted to different pit sizes.

[0003] A kernel removal device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214594059U, authorized and published on November 5, 2021, includes: a first handle, a second handle, a first tray, and an elastic sheet; the first end of the first handle is rotatably connected to the first end of the second handle, the first end of the elastic sheet is connected to the second handle, and the first end of the elastic sheet abuts against the first handle; the second end of the first handle is provided with a kernel collection groove, the first tray is detachably disposed in the kernel collection groove, and the outer edge of the first tray abuts against the side wall of the kernel collection groove; the first tray is provided with a protrusion, the second end of the elastic sheet is provided with a groove, and the bottom of the groove movably abuts against the protrusion; the first tray is provided with a plurality of first placement grooves, each placement groove having a first through hole at its bottom; the second end of the second handle is provided with a plurality of kernel removal needles, and the second end of the elastic sheet is provided with a plurality of second through holes, each kernel removal needle movably passing through a second through hole and a first through hole, which can support the elastic sheet during kernel removal and prevent excessive deformation of the elastic sheet. The drawback of this invention is that it causes excessive loss of the outer fruit pulp and is not applicable to pits of different sizes. Utility Model Content
