Minimal peeler

The design at the beginning of my sophomore year was originally intended to be the graduation design of my junior year, but because I was an automation student and had to be linked to my major, I stopped developing halfway. The reason for the design is that if one day I want to peel apples, it will not be easy to peel them. I just left a mind, it can't be my problem. Later, I tried several mainstream peelers on the market, and found that most ordinary peelers are difficult to use when facing spherical fruits, except for hand-cranked apple peelers, but this is too big, the kitchen takes up space, and the daily usage rate is low, so many people will not choose. I don't know why I just want to simplify him to the point where the seller can bear to give it, so I started again.

I tried to simplify the structure, but I couldn't make the merchants bear to send it. When I was about to lose heart, I subconsciously imitated the principle of hand-cranked apple shaper with my hands. Alas, inspiration came.

Later, I designed the structure of the first generation. I wanted to try whether the principle could be successful first. The result was success, but the hand feeling was very poor, and many places could not meet my requirements. For example, I couldn't adapt to the finger size of most people. Later, I debugged it for several generations. Sadly, because 3d printing is for others to print on the Internet, and time and money are a waste. Later, my teacher said that it could not be used as a graduation project and stopped the development, which is half of my ideal state.

Now that I think of it, it took a little time to continue optimization. My ideal state is this form. The small ears on both sides can hold the fingers slightly, as long as it is not easy to fall off. When cutting apples, the thumb cooperates with the index finger to apply force to the fruit, and then the left hand controls the fruit to rotate to simulate the movement of the hand-cranked apple peeler. In this way, an apple can be cut well, businessmen can also have the heart to give it away, so that I can eat apples next time without worry and effort.
