Abstract:

The generally coconuts are dehusker manually using either a machine or a spike. To employ these methods safely, comfortably, and conveniently for the operator, expert labour and training are needed. Pedals, instruments, and the working position should all be placed in a practical and sensible manner. By overcoming these challenges, dynamic performance, equipment that is safe and usable. In our design, the dehusking force is increased by using a closed coil spring. It has a basic design and is pedal-operated. Only manual labour is required for operation, no motor is required. This mechanism uses a spring-type actuator. Welding and pin joints were used to assemble the device's components. The anthropometric dimensions (data) of measured using the following equipments. Integrated Composite Anthropometer, Electronic push pull dynamometer, Back-Legs-Chest dynamometer, Digital hand dynamometer, Finger goniometer, Grip diameter cone etc.


Keywords: Spike, pedals dynamic, spring, performance, anthropometric data, strength
