To address the issue of insufficient mechanization and low efficiency in taro peeling, an automatic taro peeler was designed. The design of the main structural components of the taro peeler, including the position correction mechanism, lifting platform, transmission mechanism, and cutting knife, as well as the calculation of the main working parameters of the automatic taro peeler, were completed. This machine can perform taro peeling, waste material recovery, and finished product collection, reducing labor costs.
