To provide a calyx-up device of strawberries that can be removed efficiently and reliably calyx of strawberries regardless of the size of the fruit of the [issue] strawberry. And conveying means for conveying forward in the state of hanging fruit by holding the stem of the strawberry, calyx-up device of strawberry [resolution means] The present invention, comes into contact with the upper part of the calyx of strawberries that have been transported to the front I includes a positioning means for positioning in the vertical direction of the strawberry fruit Te, and a cutting means for cutting along with the calyx the upper end of the fruit of the strawberry which is positioned. The rotary blade comes into contact with the upper end of the fruit of the strawberry is positioned in the vertical direction and horizontal direction by the rod-like member of the pair of left and right as a positioning means, by cutting the triangular groove shape with calyx the upper end of the fruit of the strawberry and is dropped from the fruit, it is possible to reliably removed the calyx regardless of the size of the fruit of the strawberry.[課題]苺の果実の大きさに関わらず苺のヘタを確実にかつ効率よく取り除くことができる苺のヘタ取り装置を提供する。[解決手段]本発明の苺のヘタ取り装置は、苺の茎を保持して果実を吊り下げた状態で前方に搬送する搬送手段と、前方に搬送されている苺のヘタの上部に当接して苺の果実を上下方向に位置決めする位置決め手段と、位置決めされた苺の果実の上端部をヘタと共に切断する切断手段とを備える。そして、位置決め手段としての左右一対の棒状部材によって左右方向および上下方向に位置決めされた苺の果実の上端部に回転刃が当接し、苺の果実の上端部をヘタと共に三角溝状に切断して果実を落下させるから、苺の果実の大きさに関わらずヘタを確実に取り除くことができる。
