[0026] further, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the pedicle removal blade, in which... Figure 4 Figure (b) is the right view of Figure (a), and Figure (c) is the bottom view of Figure (a), as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the pedicle removal blade 6-3 includes a blade fixing surface 6-3-1, a blade cutting surface 6-3-2, and a cutting edge 6-3-3. The blade fixing surface 6-3-1 and the blade cutting surface 6-3-2 form an angle of 75-90 degrees, and the cutting edge 6-3-3 is located at the end of the blade cutting surface 6-3-2.
[0027] Furthermore, the blade fixing surface 6-3-1 is fixed to the pedicle removal knife mounting plate 6-2 by screws.
[0028] Furthermore, the stalk-removing blade 6-3 is made of 0.7mm thick carbon steel. The blade fixing surface 6-3-1 and the blade cutting surface 6-3-2 are formed by bending at 75-90 degrees, and the head of the cutting edge 6-3-3 is slightly curved inward.
[0029] For persimmons with a prominent stem end, a blade with a large bending angle (6-3-2) is suitable, typically an 80-degree bending angle (6-3-2). When installing, the stem-mounted blade (6-3) should be bent outwards.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiter assembly 9 is welded together from the limiter rod 9-3 and the protective tube 9-5. One end of the protective tube 9-5 extends out of the rotating tool holder assembly 6. A spring 9-4 is fitted on the limiter rod 9-3.

[0036] Furthermore, a dust cover 7 and a safety guard 8 are sequentially installed on the outer shell of the rotating tool holder assembly 6, which extends out of the machine housing 1; the protective tube 9-5 of the limiter assembly 9 extends out of the inlet of the safety guard 8.
[0037] Furthermore, the dust cover 7 is a plastic dust cover, used to prevent dust or residue from falling into the housing or rotating tool holder assembly 6 after shearing.
[0038] further, Figure 6 This is a structural diagram of the safety shield, in which, Figure 6 Figure (b) is a bottom view of Figure (a), as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the safety cover 8 is an arched structure welded from stainless steel plates with a baffle at the front end. The baffle has a persimmon inlet. The size of the persimmon inlet depends on the size of the persimmon. The persimmon is placed into the protective tube 9-5 of the limiter assembly 9 through the persimmon inlet. After being cut, the persimmon stem falls out of the safety cover 8 and is collected.
[0039] Furthermore, the safety guard 8 is detachable, so that one persimmon stem removal machine can be equipped with several guards, and the guards can be changed according to the size of the persimmons, which is convenient and safe.
[0040] During operation: The motor 2 drives the rotating blade assembly 6 to rotate at high speed. Hold the persimmon by hand and place it into the protective tube 9-5 of the limiter assembly 9. Gently press the persimmon and limiter assembly 9 inward. After contacting the high-speed rotating stem-removing blade 6-3, the persimmon stem and peel are cut off and discharged from the lower outlet of the safety cover 8 under the high-speed centrifugal force of the stem-removing blade mounting plate 6-2, thus completing the operation.
[0041] Example 2 Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1As shown, a persimmon stem-removing machine includes a machine housing 1, a motor 2, a limiting frame 3, a mounting bracket 4, a rotating blade assembly 6, a plastic dust cover, a safety guard 8, a limiter assembly 9, and a main shaft 13. The main shaft 13 is fixed to the mounting bracket 4 with a nut 14. A bearing 11 and a spacer sleeve 5 are mounted on the main shaft 13 and limited by a shaft retaining spring 10. The rotating blade assembly 6 is mounted on the bearing 13 and limited by a hole retaining spring 12. Stem-removing blades 6-3 are mounted on the rotating blade assembly 6. The belt groove 6-1 of the rotating blade assembly 6 is connected to the pulley on the motor 2 mounted below the main shaft by a V-belt drive. The spindle 13 is hollow. Powder metallurgy oil-impregnated bearing copper sleeves are fixedly installed at both ends. The limiter assembly 9 is movably installed in the middle hole of the powder metallurgy oil-impregnated bearing copper sleeve. The limiter 3 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 4. The mounting bracket 4 is fixed to the machine housing 1 with screws. A plastic dust cover 7 and a safety guard 8 are installed on the other side of the machine housing 1.
[0042] During operation: After picking, the persimmon stem is cut into a T-shape with a horizontal length of 10-16mm to prevent it from falling off when hanging persimmon cakes. The rotating blade assembly 6 is driven by motor 2 to rotate at high speed. Hold the persimmon stem and place it into the protective tube 9-5 of the stainless steel tube of the limiter assembly 9. Gently press the persimmon and limiter assembly 9 inward. After contacting the high-speed rotating stem-removing blade 6-3, the persimmon stem and skin are cut off and discharged from the outlet of the safety cover 8 under the high-speed centrifugal force of the stem-removing blade mounting plate 6-2, completing the operation.
[0043] Example 3 Based on Example 2, such as Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown, a persimmon stem-removing machine includes a rotating blade assembly 6, which is machined from a thick-walled steel pipe. One side has a belt groove 6-1, and the other end is welded with two symmetrical stem-removing blade mounting plates 6-2. Stem-removing blades 6-3 are mounted on the mounting plates 6-2. The stem-removing blades 6-3 are made of 0.7mm thick carbon steel and bent at 75-90 degrees, with a slight inward curve at the blade tip. During operation, different angles of the stem-removing blades 6-3 are used depending on the variety and shape of the persimmon. For protruding stems, a 90-degree blade 6-3 is used, while a deeply recessed blade 6-3 is selected. Choosing different angles of the blades 6-3 for different persimmon shapes ensures clean removal of the stem and skin. The slight inward curve at the blade tip leaves no marks after cutting.
[0044] Example 4 Based on Example 3, such as Figure 4The diagram shows a persimmon stem-removing machine, which includes at least a limiter assembly 9. This assembly is welded together from an 8mm diameter limiter rod 9-3 (stainless steel limiter rod) and a 22mm diameter, 1mm wall thickness protective tube 9-5 (stainless steel tube). A spring 9-4 is fitted onto the limiter rod 9-3. The threaded end of the limiter rod 9-3 is fitted with an adjusting sleeve 9-1 and a locking nut 9-2. During operation, the persimmon stem is placed inside the protective tube 9-5, protecting it from being broken or cut by the stem-removing blade 6-3. The adjusting sleeve 9-1 and locking nut 9-2 on the limiter rod 9-3 are adjusted to ensure the persimmon peel is of appropriate thickness after stem removal. The spring 9-4 fitted onto the limiter rod 9-3 should not be too stiff, as this would be difficult to work with; it only needs to be stiff enough to return the limiter assembly 9 to its original position after the operation is completed.
[0045] like Figure 5 The diagram shows a persimmon stem-removing machine, which includes at least a safety guard 8 welded from stainless steel plates. The size of the persimmon inlet depends on the size of the persimmon. During operation, the safety guard 8 is replaced, and the persimmon inlet is 10mm larger than the persimmon, ensuring both safety and ease of operation.
[0046] After harvesting, the persimmon stem is cut into a T-shape with a horizontal length of 10-16mm to prevent it from falling off when hanging on the persimmon cake. The stem is placed inside a stainless steel tube to prevent it from being broken or cut off by the stem-removing blade. The distance between the limiter assembly and the limiter is adjusted using an adjusting sleeve and locking nut to ensure the thickness of the peel after stem removal. Each machine is equipped with several protective covers, and the inlet is interchangeable according to the size of the persimmon for convenience and safety. Because only one rotating blade assembly rotates while the main shaft remains stationary, there are fewer malfunctions and maintenance is simple.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
