Based on physics feature of apricots, a semi-automatic continuous apricot pit removing device was designed, with the principle of holding the apricot with soft plastic and stamping with the claw type stamping knife. By using the method of combining a cam intermittent divider and a slide block device, the apricot chain plate could be controlled with regulable stop-and-start. Moreover, the stamping knife could complete a process of stamping once, as soon as this chain plate intermittent pauses. The result showed that the apricot pit removing rate was above 96%, and the apricot meat bring together rate was less than 2.4%, with the apricot pit residual rate less than 3%.
