[0081] When in specific use, at first, place the to be shelled camellia fruit in the feeding cylinder 3, and then the camellia fruit is heated by the electro thermal block 4 in the feeding cylinder 3, and after heating for a certain period of time, the camellia fruit is cracked. The shelling screw conveyance trough 5 is driven by the screw conveyance trough motor 6, and then the camellia fruit is fed into the square cavity of the shelling conveyance trough 2 by the shelling screw conveyance trough 5. When the camellia fruit passes the shelling and conveyance sweep block 7 in the shelling conveyance trough 2, the shelling and conveyance sweep block 7 intercepts the stacked camellia fruit to ensure that there is only one layer of camellia fruit passing through. After that, the shelling press block 10 is driven by the shelling and sweeping lift cylinder 9 to press the camellia fruit passing through the shelling and conveyance sweep block 7 to carry out the pre-sequencing pressing and shelling operation. After that, the camellia fruit will fall from the outlet end of the shelling conveyance trough 2 into the shelling and receiving trough 14, and the shelling and receiving trough 14 is rotated by the shelling rotary motor. After the shelling and receiving trough 14 rotary for a certain angle, the camellia fruit will be dropped into the lower part of the shelling cylinder 11 and the shell process is finished by impact.
