The operation and use state of the aquaculture support device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, the apparatus body 5 is slid along the traveling rail 3 and brought to the left column 2. Next, after passing the training rope R through the insertion hole 21 of the support plate 22 of the left column 2 and the apparatus main body 5, the training rope R is passed through the insertion hole 21 of the support plate 22 of the right column 2.

  When the training rope R is passed through the apparatus main body 5, first, the training rope R is sandwiched between the first clamping parts 53. In the 1st clamping part 53, the press bearing part 532 shown in FIG. 4 is lifted, the training rope R is located between the fixed bearing part 531 and the press bearing part 532, and the hand holding the press bearing part 532 is released. The pressing bearing portion 532 is urged in the direction of the fixed bearing portion 531 when the bent plate material 533a is pulled in the direction of the first base portion 521 by the tension spring 533c, so that it is trained between the bearing members 531b and 532b. The rope R can be inserted.

Since each of the bearing members 531b and 532b is formed by two bearings, stable squeezing and feeding can be realized by positioning the training rope R in a gap formed between the bearings.
Next, the tip of the training rope R sandwiched between the first sandwiching portions 53 is inserted into the second sandwiching portion 541 of the main body portion 54. When inserting the tip of the training rope R, the pressing rope 5412a is pushed in the direction opposite to the urging direction, thereby pushing the training rope R while expanding the space in the holding hole 5411a. Then, the training rope R is allowed to pass through the main body portion 54 by passing through the through hole 5431a of the operation portion 543.

  By pulling the training rope R coming out of the main body portion 54 to the support plate 22 of the support column 2, the training rope R is sent while sliding on the pressing plate 5412a of the second clamping portion 541. In this way, preparation is completed.

Next, the worker performs a work of sandwiching young shoots such as seaweed and kombu into the training rope R, but this work is less burdensome when performed in a work chair with wheels.
The operator rotates the lever 5432 in a direction opposite to the twisting direction of the training rope R. The operation portion 543 is rotated in the intermediate portion 542 by the rotation of the lever 5432. As the operation unit 542 rotates, the second clamping unit 541 rotates and the second clamping unit 541 moves in the direction of the first clamping unit 53.
Since the training rope R is clamped by the first clamping part 53 on one side and the second clamping part 541 that rotates on the other side, the first clamping part 53 and the second clamping part are shown in FIG. Twist returns to 541 and a gap is formed between the twisted ropes. At this time, the operation unit 543 moves the second clamping unit 541 in the direction of the first clamping unit 53, thereby shortening the distance between the first clamping unit 53 and the second clamping unit 541. The twist back of the rope R is further increased, and a gap between the twist ropes is greatly opened. The operator inserts young shoots such as seaweed and kombu into the gap, and returns the lever 5432 to the original position. By doing so, the twisted state of the training rope R returns to its original state, and the young shoots are firmly sandwiched between the training ropes R.

If the degree of friction between the screw groove 542a of the intermediate portion 542 and the screw thread 5431c of the operation portion 543 is high, the rotated position is maintained even if the lever 5432 is rotated and then released from the lever 5432. Work with both hands.
Further, if the degree of friction between the screw groove 542a of the intermediate portion 542 and the screw groove 5431b of the operation portion 543 is low, after turning the lever 5432, inserting a young shoot and releasing the lever 5432, the training rope R Since the lever 5432 can be automatically returned to the original position by returning the twisted state, the operation is simple.

  When the young shoots are sandwiched in the training line R, the left hand holds the training line R, the right hand holds the device main body 5, and the device main body 5 slides to the right and moves. By doing so, the apparatus main body 5 slides while sliding on the training rope R, while the fixed bearing part 531 and the press bearing part 532 of the 1st clamping part 53 rotate. Further, the apparatus main body 5 slides while the inner wall of the holding hole 5411a of the second holding part 541 and the pressing plate 5412a slide on the training rope R.

The young shoots inserted into the training rope R damage the young shoots by passing between the fixed bearing portion 531 that slides on the lower surface of the training rope R and the pressure bearing portion 532 that slides on the upper surface of the training rope R. The first clamping part 53 can be allowed to pass through. Further, even if the young shoots come into contact with the bearing members 531b and 532b, the bearing members 531b and 532b rotate, whereby damage to the young shoots can be suppressed.
Since the apparatus main body 5 including the pedestal part 52 can be made to travel along the traveling rail 3 by the wheel part 512 in the direction of the training rope R where seaweed has not yet been inserted, it can be easily moved to a new insertion place. Can do.

  When the apparatus main body 5 is moved to the next insertion position, the lever 5432 is similarly rotated to create a gap between the twisted ropes of the training rope R and insert the young shoots. Then, when the apparatus main body 5 is sequentially slid to the vicinity of the right column 2 and the work is finished, the training rope R is pulled leftward until the new work place is located between the columns 2, and the apparatus main unit 5 is moved to the left column. Slide near 2. By doing so, the young shoots inserted can be operated without passing through the main body portion 54, so that damage to the young shoots can be suppressed.

In this way, by simply turning the lever 5432 of the operation unit 543 in the direction opposite to the twisting direction of the training rope R, the twisting of the training rope R can be easily returned, and a gap can be made. Efficiently cultivated seaweed can be inserted into the training rope R. Therefore, the aquaculture support device 1 according to the present embodiment can reduce the burden on the operator.
Moreover, since the 1st clamping part 53 is formed of the fixed bearing part 531 and the press bearing part 532, after pinching a sprout in the training rope R, the training rope R is pulled and the apparatus main body 5 is slid. For example, since the fixed bearing portion 531 and the press bearing portion 532 guide the training rope R to the second holding portion 541 while rotating while holding the training rope R, a smooth slide of the training rope R can be realized.

In the aquaculture support apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the apparatus main body 5 is configured to slide on the traveling rail 3 bridged between the two struts 2. Further, only the main body portion 54 including the first holding portion 53, the second holding portion 541, and the operation portion 543 can be provided. By doing so, it can be mounted on a ship and operated offshore.
In the present embodiment, a young shoot has been described as an example of seaweed to be inserted, but seeds of cultured seaweed may be planted on the thread and the seed thread may be inserted.

  The present invention is suitable for aquaculture of seaweed such as seaweed, kombu, hijiki, and mozuku, which are carried out on the bay or offshore.
