良い。）。Subsequently, when the rotary arm 15 is rotated and the blade mounting body 34 is moved on a semicircular orbit viewed from the front direction, the removing portion 5 of the persimmon 5 in the pre-processing portion 3 is removed.
The skin is peeled off spirally from a'to the tip portion to complete the skin peeling process (the skin peeling work in the skin removing unit 1 is carried out from a position slightly overlapped with the removing unit 5a 'in the pre-processing unit 3). Peeling work may be performed.).

Therefore, the sucking action on the persimmon 5 in 4 is released and the peeled persimmon 5 is introduced into the collecting part 32.
【００３８】以上の工程を順次繰り返して柿５の皮剥き

に行われることになる。Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, when the persimmon 5 is conveyed to the epidermis removing unit 1, a predetermined portion of the fruit is formed into a predetermined shape by the pre-processing unit 3 before the conveyance by the conveying unit 2. Since it is pre-processed, fruit peeling work will be performed efficiently.

ことになる。Further, in the present embodiment, when the persimmon 5 is transported by the transport unit 2, the persimmon 5 is held and transported by the suction means by the suction unit 4 provided in the transport unit 2. Therefore, for example, the persimmon 5 The persimmons 5 can be softly sucked and held as compared with the structure in which the persimmons 5 are sandwiched by the sandwiching plates, and therefore the persimmons 5 to be transported can be transported to the epidermis removing unit 1 without damaging the persimmons 5. Specifically, for example, as a means for holding the persimmon 5, in the case of a structure in which the persimmon 5 is skewered with a needle as in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-132075, bacteria enter or corrode from the puncture hole formed in the persimmon 5. I am worried about problems such as
In the case of the present embodiment, such a problem will be definitely solved.

どを可及的に防止し得ることになる。Further, in this embodiment, before the transportation in the transportation section 2, the bent portion 5a of the persimmon 5 is previously removed by the pre-processing section 3, so that, for example, the peeling work of the persimmon 5 is conventionally performed. Peeling is performed in the range from the squat portion 5a of the persimmon 5, that is, the handle portion 5b, to the circle locus line X centered on the handle portion 5b, which is difficult to peel automatically for a machine of this type. Therefore, the peeling work of the persimmon 5 is efficiently performed with respect to the part of the persimmon 5 that needs to be peeled with the epidermis removing unit 1, and the removing unit 5a of the persimmon 5 in the pre-processing unit 3 is further effective. ′ Is a portion for sucking and holding the persimmon 5 in the suction portion 4, so that the suction action by the suction portion 4 provided in the transport portion 2 can be more effectively exhibited. That is, for example, when the persimmon 5 that has not been subjected to any preprocessing is sucked by the suction part 4, the contact surface of the suction part 4 is a leaf of the persimmon 5 and a leaf of the sag 5a in particular. May interfere with a part of the persimmon 5 that comes into contact with the epidermis and a part that does not come into contact with the persimmon 5, or the persimmon 5 does not come into contact with the part that comes into contact with the surface of the persimmon 5 because it has different shapes (having an uneven shape). Persimmon 5
Can not be sucked, or even if sucked, the persimmon 5 may fall from the suction part 4 at the time of conveyance or peeling. However, according to the present embodiment, the part to which the suction part 4 contacts in advance Further, since the removed portion 5a ′ is removed, and the removed portion 5a ′ is flat, it is possible to suck the persimmon 5 in a state where the contact surface of the suction portion 4 is in good contact with the removed portion 5a ′ of the persimmon 5. As a result, the suction action is exerted, so that the persimmons 5 can be favorably transported in the transport unit 2, and thus the working efficiency can be dramatically improved. Since the portion 4 is provided with a blowing structure for blowing out suctioned substances such as sucked sibs and debris, the suction portion 4
Since the suctioned material such as sibs and dusts sucked in is blown out, it is possible to prevent the suction force in the suction unit 4 from being lowered or a failure as much as possible.

Even more efficient work can be performed without any hindrance to the peeling work.
