  Next, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the warship molding / transferring device shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part of the warship winding molding / transferring device shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view of a main part of a turntable constituting the sharpening machine of the warship winding molding transfer device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 shows the internal structure of the transfer machine of the warship winding molding transfer device of FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the gripping part of the transfer machine of FIG. 6, and FIGS. 8 and 9 are exploded perspective views of the main part of the gripping part of the transfer machine of FIG.

  A hopper 3 is installed at the upper part of the sprout ball forming machine 1 to open the input lid 2 and to input cooked rice (such as vinegared rice) from the opening. Below the hopper 3, a mechanism unit (not shown) that loosens the cooked rice supplied from the hopper 3 and measures and divides the cooked rice to a predetermined weight to form a lump of cooked rice into the forming hole 4 a of the lower turntable 4. ) Is provided.

  The lowermost turntable 4 is formed in a cylindrical plate shape, for example, and is provided in a state in which it can be intermittently rotated (for example, counterclockwise) in one direction with its circular upper surface facing upward. . On the circular upper surface of the turntable 4, a plurality of (for example, 10) forming holes 4 a are formed at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction. The mass of cooked rice put into the molding hole 4a is pressed by the molding lower mold 4b in the molding hole 4a and the molding upper mold (molding member: not shown) arranged above the molding hole 4a as the turntable 4 rotates. As a result, a roughly bowl-shaped sharp ball is formed.

  Each forming hole 4a of the turntable 4 is formed in an oval shape or an oval shape in a plan view, for example. Each forming hole 4a is arranged in a state where its longitudinal direction is along the radial direction of the turntable 4, and is arranged radially on the circular upper surface of the turntable. However, the shrimp ball forming machine 1 only needs to be able to press the cooked rice lump to form the shrimp balls R, and is not limited to the structure including the turntable 4 as in the present embodiment. Moreover, the shape of the shaped shrimp ball does not need to be substantially bowl-shaped as in the present embodiment, and may be a roughly spherical shaped ball called, for example, Temari Sushi.

  The warship winding device 10 is a device for winding the seaweed N (see FIG. 5) around the outer peripheral side surface of the sharp balls formed by the sharp ball molding machine 1. In the laver container 11 of the warship winding device 10, for example, a plurality of laver N formed in a strip shape (rectangular shape) is accommodated.

  In this warship winding device 10, the position on the lower surface facing the upper surface of the turntable 4 is located on the lower molding die 4 b (the leftmost lower molding die 4 b in FIG. 5) disposed at the sharpness ball detection position. A sensor (detection means: not shown) for detecting the presence or absence of a ball is provided. This sensor is constituted by an optical sensor such as a phototransistor or a photodiode, for example.

  Further, in the warship winding device 10, a frame 12 serving as a guide when supplying the seaweed N on the turntable 4 to the seaweed supply position downstream of the sharp ball detection position (downstream in the rotation direction of the turntable 4) (see FIG. 5).

  Further, in the nori container 11 of the warship winding device 10, the nori in the nori container 11 is supplied to the frame 12 one by one based on the detection result of the sensor that detects the sharp balls. A supply mechanism (nori supply means: not shown) is provided.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the warship winding device 10, a nori-side clamper (winding member) 13 a and a front clamper (winding member) are provided at a nori winding position downstream of the nori supply position (downstream in the rotation direction of the turntable 4). A winding member 13b and a holding plate (winding member) 14 are provided so as to be movable along the outer periphery of the molded lower mold 4b (sharp ball) at the laver winding position. The back side clamper 13a and the front side clamper 13b are members for winding the seaweed N around the outer peripheral side surface of the sharp ball, and the restraining plate 14 is a member for suppressing the sharp ball when the nori N is wound.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the transfer machine 40 transfers a shrimp ball RN (hereinafter referred to as a shrimp ball RN with seaweed) formed by the shrimp ball forming machine 1 and wound with seaweed N on the warship winding device 10. It is a mechanism part which transfers to the dish D conveyed to the transfer position by 30 1st conveyor 30-1, and is provided with the holding part 41 which transfers the shrimp ball RN with seaweed to the dish D.

  The gripping portion 41 is provided with a pair of chucks (gripping means) 41a for gripping the shrimp ball RN with seaweed. The chuck 41a can be opened / closed and lifted / lowered, and can be turned in a forward / reverse direction along a horizontal plane.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the pair of chucks 41a is supported by the support body 41b so as to be opened and closed. The chuck 41a is opened and closed by an opening / closing motor 41c and a tension spring (not shown) disposed above the chuck 41a. That is, the opening / closing shaft 41e is connected to the cam 41d directly connected to the rotation shaft of the opening / closing motor 41c. The opening / closing shaft 41e moves up and down by the rotation of the cam 41d. When the opening / closing shaft 41e moves downward, the chuck opening / closing plate 41f above the chuck 41a is pushed down to open the chuck 41a. On the other hand, a tension spring is interposed between the left and right chucks 41a, and the left and right chucks 41a are closed when the pressing force to the chuck opening / closing plate 41f by the opening / closing shaft 41e disappears.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the pair of chucks 41 a is supported by the grip portion 41 in a state in which the pair of chucks 41 a can move up and down (up and down). The raising / lowering of the chuck 41a is performed by transmitting the rotational power of the raising / lowering motor 41g to the crank 41i through the gear 41h. That is, when the rotating shaft of the lifting motor 41g rotates, the crank 41i moves up and down accordingly, so that the support body 41b and the pair of chucks 41a mechanically connected to the crank 41i move up and down.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the pair of chucks 41 a is installed on the grip portion 41 so as to be rotatable along a horizontal plane. The turning mechanism of the chuck 41a is configured to rotate the rod 41j arranged in the vertical direction while supporting the chuck 41a of the grip portion 41 by the turning motor 41k. In other words, the chuck 41a and the rod 41j that supports the chuck 41a are supported by the grip portion 41 in a state of being rotatable in a horizontal plane. A turning motor 41k is installed on the outer periphery of the rod 41j. The turning motor gear 41m connected to the rotation shaft of the turning motor 41k is mechanically engaged with a turning driven gear 41n attached to the upper outer periphery of the rod 41j. When the turning motor 41k rotates, the turning motor gear 41m and Rotational power is transmitted to the rod 41j via the swivel driven gear 41n, and the rod 41j rotates along a horizontal plane around the axis. Here, the pair of chucks 41a is located at the turning center of the rod 41j. The turning motor 41k and various gears move up and down together with the upper and lower sides of the chuck 41a. Further, the rod 41j is formed in a hollow shape, and the opening / closing shaft described above is installed in the hollow so as to be movable up and down. However, the turning mechanism is not limited to this.

  The gripper 41 slides on a rail (moving means) 44 by a belt (moving means) 43 that is rotated in the forward and reverse directions by a motor (moving means) 42 (see FIG. 6). It is possible to reciprocate linearly along a line that connects the gripping position of the sharp ball in the molding machine 1 and the transfer position of the sharp ball to the dish D conveyed by the first conveyor 30-1. . In addition, the motor 42 of the holding part 41 is comprised by the servomotor. However, the motor 42 is not limited to a servo motor as long as the gripper 41 can be positioned and controlled.

  As described above, according to the warship winding molding transfer apparatus M of the present embodiment, the sprout balls RN with seaweed are transferred to the dish D which is transferred to the first conveyor 30-1 (the transfer conveyor 30) by the transfer machine 40. It becomes the composition to be described. Therefore, the shape forming machine 1 can be provided with versatility, and is not only used as a component of the warship winding forming transfer device M for transferring the shape forming device RN with seaweed to the plate D, but independently. Can also be used.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a control system of the warship volume forming / transferring device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 11 is an example of a warship winding in the process of being transferred to the plate by the warship winding shape transferring device of FIG. It is a perspective view.

  The control part (control means) C (refer FIG. 10) which comprises the warship winding formation transfer apparatus M is the sharp ball molding machine 1, the warship winding apparatus 10, the tray supply machine 20, the 1st conveyor 30-1, the 2nd conveyor. 30-2 is a control circuit that controls the operation of 30-2 and the transfer machine 40, and executes control for transferring the above-mentioned sprout balls RN with seaweed onto the dish D on the conveyor 30 by the transfer machine 40.

  For example, an input unit (not shown) 60 composed of a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit is electrically connected to the control unit C. Then, the operator operates the input unit 60 to input a desired command (such as the number of sari balls RN with seaweed RN placed on one plate D and how to place it). Performs the operation according to the input contents.

  In addition, the control unit C controls the dish take-out mechanism unit of the dish feeder 20 to drop the dishes D stocked in the stock part 21 of the dish feeder 20 one by one from the bottom to the dish supply conveyor 22 one by one. The control to be executed is executed. Moreover, the control part C performs control which conveys the dish D of the 1st conveyor 30-1 to an appropriate position by controlling the drive motor of the 1st conveyor 30-1. Further, the control unit C controls the motor 42 of the transfer machine 40 to execute control for moving the chuck 41a of the gripping unit 41 to an appropriate position.

  Further, the control unit C controls the turning motor 41k (see FIG. 7) that turns the chuck 41a of the transfer machine 40 along a horizontal plane to turn the pair of chucks 41a and 41a by a predetermined angle. Thus, when transferring a plurality of shari balls RN with nori onto one dish D, the seam N seam N1 (see FIG. 11) on the outer peripheral side surface of each shari ball RN with nori is the other nori. Control is performed to transfer so as to face the attached sharp ball RN.

  In FIG. 11, a case where two shrimp balls RN with nori are arranged on one dish D is illustrated. Each nori-shari ball RN is arranged on the plate D with the seams N1 and N1 of each nori N facing each other. With the drop-type laying mechanism, you cannot drop the spicy balls with seaweed and place them on the plate. .

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the sharp ball RN with seaweed can be easily transferred to the dish D. In addition, when two Shari balls RN with seaweed RN are transferred to one dish D, the seam N seam N1 of the Shari balls RN with seaweed is moved so that it faces the other Shari balls RN with seaweed RN. Can be listed. As a result, if the seaweed N on the outer peripheral side surface of the shrimp ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed tries to open to the outside due to the passage of time or the like, it cannot be opened greatly because it is obstructed by the next shrimp ball RN with seaweed. In other words, it is possible to prevent the seaweed N on the outer peripheral side of the shari ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed from greatly opening outside due to the passage of time, etc. The appearance can be maintained.

  Next, a driving example of the warship winding forming transfer device M of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 (a) to 12 (c) are plan views of the main part of the turntable during the process of winding nori around the shari balls, and FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b) wind nori around the shari balls following FIG. 12 (c). It is a principal part enlarged plan view of the turntable in a process. In addition, here, for example, a case where two shrimp balls RN with nori are transferred to one dish D will be described. Further, in FIGS. 12 and 13, the hatched balls R to be wrapped with the seaweed N are hatched to make the drawings easy to see.

  First, the cooked rice lump is put on the molded lower mold 4b of the turntable 4 of the sharpball molding machine 1 shown in FIG. 4, and the cooked rice lump is pressed between the molded lower mold 4b and the molded upper mold to form the sharpened ball R (FIG. 12). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the sharp ball R is placed on the molding lower die 4b (on the leftmost molding lower die 4b in FIG. 12 (a)) at the position where the spherical ball is detected in the upper surface of the turntable 4. Is detected by a sensor (not shown), the turntable 4 is rotated counterclockwise by one molding lower die 4b as shown in FIG. One laver N in the laver container 11 of the warship winding apparatus 10 shown is fed into the frame 12 at the laver supply position.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), when the turntable 4 is further rotated counterclockwise by one molding lower mold 4b, the turntable 4 is in a state where the laver ball R entrains the laver N. Move to the seaweed wrapping position in the top surface of. Thereby, it is affixed on the one side side surface of the sharp ball R in a state where the seaweed N is deformed in a U shape at the laver winding position.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13 (a), after the restraint plate 14 is moved to the side of one side (right side in FIG. 13 (a)) of the shrimp ball R at the laver winding position, The back side clamper 13a is moved to the side of the opposite side of the sharp ball R (the left side of FIG. 13A), and the seaweed N is attached to the side of the sharp ball R.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13B, at the laver winding position, the front side clamper 13b is placed on one side opposite to the sharp ball R (FIG. 13B) while the back side clamper 13a and the holding plate 14 are left as they are. ) To the side of the left side of) and paste the seaweed N on the side of one side of the sharp ball R. In this way, the seaweed N is wound around the outer peripheral side surface of the sharp ball R.

  Thereafter, after the back side clamper 13a, the front side clamper 13b and the holding plate 14 are returned to their original positions, the turntable 4 is rotated to grip the shrimp ball RN with seaweed (the rightmost molding lower die 4b in FIG. 5). To the position).

  In parallel with this, in the first conveyor 30-1, the first conveyor 30-1 is based on information from a sensor (not shown) that detects the position of the dish D that is transported on the first conveyor 30-1. By controlling the brushless motor driving No. 1 by the control unit C, the first conveyor 30-1 is moved at a position where the transfer position of the shrimp ball RN with seaweed is slightly forward from the center of the plate D. Stop.

  Next, when the nori-shaped shaving balls RN are transported to the gripping position of the turntable 4, the chuck 41a of the transfer machine 40 shown in FIG. 6 and the like is lowered and grips the nori-shaped shaving balls RN. At this time, the long side portion of the sharp ball RN with seaweed is gripped by the chuck 41a.

  Subsequently, after the chuck 41a of the gripper 41 grips the shrimp ball RN with seaweed and rises while turning by a predetermined rotation angle along the horizontal plane, the gripper 41 is driven by the motor 42 and the rail It slides 44 and moves to the sharp ball transfer position of the 1st conveyor 30-1. Thereafter, the chuck 41a descends and opens at the position where the ball is transferred, so that the ball RN with seaweed is gently transferred to the plate D on the stopped first conveyor 30-1.

  At this time, the shrimp balls RN with seaweed are transferred so that the longitudinal direction thereof is perpendicular to or close to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1. Further, the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the shrimp ball RN with seaweed is transferred so as to face the direction opposite to the conveying direction of the dish D. The direction of the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the shrimp ball RN with the seaweed is adjusted by turning control of the chuck 41a by the control unit C described above. However, the timing of turning the chuck 41a may be any time as long as it is after gripping the shrimp ball RN with nori but before transferring to the dish D. For example, the chuck 41a in the state of gripping the shrimp ball RN with nori It may be at the time of lateral movement or descending.

  In the sharpening machine 1, when the sensor (not shown) detects that the sharpening ball RN with seaweed at the gripping position of the turntable 4 is picked up by the chuck 41a, the turntable 4 determines in advance. The next sharp ball R is formed on the turntable 4 by rotating the rotation angle.

  In this way, when the first sprout ball RN with the seaweed is transferred from the sprout ball forming machine 1 to the dish D, the control unit C attaches the first seaweed with the first conveyor 30-1. The dish D on which the sharp balls RN are placed is intermittently moved in the transport direction slightly larger than the width (short dimension) of the sharp balls RN with seaweed.

  Thereafter, the second sprout ball RN with seaweed is transferred from the center of the dish D to a position slightly rearward in the transport direction by the transfer device 40. At this time, in the present embodiment, the chuck 41a is moved along the horizontal plane in the same manner as described above while the chuck 41a holding the second sprout ball RN with nori is moved from the holding position to the transfer position. By turning, the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the second shrimp ball RN with the second seaweed gripped by the chuck 41a is transferred to the plate N of the seaweed Nr with the seaweed RN already transferred to the plate D. A second sprout ball RN with seaweed is transferred to the dish D so as to face the seam N1.

  Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 11, two shrimp balls RN with seaweed are sequentially transferred onto the plate D on the first conveyor 30-1. The two nori-shari balls RN are arranged side by side with the seam N1 of each seaweed N facing each other. As a result, it is possible to prevent the seaweed N on the outer peripheral side of the shari ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed from opening to the outside due to the passage of time, etc., so the shari ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed Can maintain its appearance.

  As described above, the dish D on which the two shrimp balls RN with seaweed are placed is transferred to the second conveyor 30-2, and as described above, to the next process (such as a process for placing sushi seeds). It is conveyed.

  In addition, in the case of transferring three sharp balls R to one plate D, the plate D on the first conveyor 30-1 is placed so that the second sharp ball R is located at the center of the plate D. What is necessary is just to repeat the transfer operation | movement of the shrimp ball RN with a seaweed 3 times, moving the said dish D to a conveyance direction intermittently, controlling a position. Also in this case, the seams N1 of the seaweed N of the sari ball RN with two seaweeds are made to face each other, and the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the saritama RN with one seaweed is already placed. The shrimp ball RN with nori is transferred so that it faces the other shrimp ball RN with nori.

  (Second Embodiment)

  Next, FIG. 14 is a plan view showing an example of a transfer pattern of a sharp ball by a warship winding transfer device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, the direction in which the sharp balls R are arranged with respect to the dish D is the direction along the conveying direction of the dish D, which is 90 in the case shown in the first embodiment (see FIG. 2). ° Different.

  In this case, an example of a method for transferring the shari ball RN with seaweed will be described.

  First, as a pre-stage of the transfer process of the shrimp ball RN with seaweed, the plate D on the first conveyor 30-1 is moved to the transfer position of the shrimp ball RN with seaweed, and then the first conveyor 30-1. To stop.

  Subsequently, by the operation of the transfer machine 40 similar to the above, the first sprout ball RN with seaweed is transferred onto the plate D of the first conveyor 30-1. At this time, in the present embodiment, the first sprout ball RN with seaweed is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is along or close to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1. In the state where the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the shrimp ball RN with seaweed faces the center of the plate D, the width direction of the first conveyor 30-1 is shorter than the center of the plate D (the short direction perpendicular to the transport direction). ) Transfer to a slightly shifted position.

  The direction of the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the first sprout ball RN with the seaweed is adjusted by turning control of the chuck 41a by the control unit C in the same manner as described above. The timing of turning the chuck 41a may be any time as long as it is after gripping the shrimp ball RN with seaweed and before transferring to the dish D, for example, holding the shrimp ball RN with seaweed. The chuck 41a may be raised, moved laterally, or lowered.

  Subsequently, after the transfer of the first sprout ball RN with seaweed, the first conveyor 30-1 was moved in the above example, but in the present embodiment, the first conveyor 30-1 was stopped. As it is, by the operation of the transfer machine 40 similar to the above, the second sprout ball RN with seaweed is transferred onto the plate D of the first conveyor 30-1. At this time, in the present embodiment, the second sprout ball RN with nori is set so that its longitudinal direction is along or close to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 30-1. In the state where the seam N seam N1 of the shrimp ball RN with seaweed is directed to the center of the plate D, it moves to a position slightly shifted inward in the width direction of the first conveyor 30-1 from the center of the plate D. Included.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the transfer position is not adjusted by the first conveyor 30-1 when the second shrimp ball RN with seaweed is transferred (the first conveyor 30-1 is operated). In this case, the transfer position is adjusted by changing the moving distance of the chuck 41a of the transfer machine 40. For this reason, the control of the warship winding molding transfer device M can be simplified, and the transfer time of the shari ball RN with seaweed can be shortened.

  In addition, the adjustment method of the direction of the seam N1 of the seaweed N of the second spicy ball RN with the seaweed is controlled by the turning control of the chuck 41a by the control unit C similarly to the first spearball RN with the seaweed RN. adjust. The timing of turning the chuck 41a may be any time as long as it is after gripping the shrimp ball RN with seaweed and before transferring to the dish D, for example, holding the shrimp ball RN with seaweed. The chuck 41a may be raised, moved laterally, or lowered. However, in this case, the turning angle of the chuck 41a is different from that in the case of the first sharp ball RN with seaweed.

  In this way, the two shrimp balls RN with seaweed are sequentially transferred onto the plate D on the first conveyor 30-1. Also in this case, the two nori-shari balls RN are arranged side by side with the seams N1 of the nori N facing each other. As a result, it is possible to prevent the seaweed N on the outer peripheral side of the shari ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed from opening to the outside due to the passage of time, etc., so the shari ball RN (warship winding) with seaweed Can maintain its appearance.

  In this case, when transferring the three nori-shari balls RN with the laver to the plate D, the gripper 41 is arranged so that the second nori-shari ball RN with the nori is located at the center of the plate D. What is necessary is just to repeat the transfer operation | movement of the sharp ball RN with a seaweed 3 times, varying a moving distance.

  (Third embodiment)

  Next, FIG. 15 is a plan view showing an example of a transfer pattern of a sharp ball by a warship winding transfer device according to still another embodiment of the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, two shrimp balls RN with seaweed rolls are arranged in a staggered pattern on one dish D. Shari balls RN with each seaweed are transferred so as to intersect the conveying direction of the dish D.

  In this case, the method for transferring the sprout ball RN with seaweed is the same as that in the first embodiment, except that the turning angle of the chuck 41a is different. That is, the above-described intermittent operation of the conveyor 30 (the operation of intermittently moving the dish D on the first conveyor 30-1 via the first conveyor 30-1) and the turning operation of the transfer machine 40 (nori The operation of turning the chuck 41a holding the attached sharp ball RN) is performed.

  In such a warship winding molding transfer device M, the first shrimp ball RN with seaweed is turned on the plate D on the first conveyor 30-1 by turning the chuck 41a holding the shrimp ball RN with seaweed. Transferred from the center to a position slightly ahead in the transport direction. Next, the second sprout ball RN with seaweed moves the dish D intermittently in the transport direction via the first conveyor 30-1, and grips the shrimp ball RN with seaweed 41a. Is moved from the center of the dish D on the first conveyor 30-1 to a position slightly rearward in the transport direction. As a result, the two sharp balls R are transferred in a zigzag pattern.

  In addition, when arrange | positioning the two shrimp balls RN with a seaweed so that it may follow the conveyance direction of the plate | plate D similarly to the said 2nd Embodiment, the shrimp ball RN with a seaweed by the moving distance of the transfer machine 40 Determine the transfer position.

  (Fourth embodiment)

  Next, a modified example of the grip portion 41 of the warship winding forming transfer device M will be described. FIG. 16 (a) is a schematic diagram of a main part schematically showing the gripping part of the warship winding transfer device of the present embodiment, and FIG. 16 (b) is a view of the gripping part of FIG. 16 (a) from below. FIGS. 16 (c) and 16 (d) are plan views illustrating the process of transferring the sprout balls with seaweed to the dish at the gripping portion of FIG. 16 (a).

  As shown in FIGS. 16 (a) and 16 (b), in the warship winding / transferring apparatus M of the present embodiment, the chuck 41a of the gripper 41 has a turning center (center axes X, Y) of the turning rod 41j. , Z), and is installed in a state of being eccentric. Broken lines X, Y, and Z indicate the central axis of the rod 41b.

  In this case, as shown in FIGS. 16 (c) and 16 (d), it is possible to transfer the two shrimp balls RN with nori simply by turning the chuck 41a. For this reason, even in the case of the arrangement of the sprout balls RN with seaweed of the first embodiment or the third embodiment (see FIG. 2 and FIG. 15), the intermittent operation of the first conveyor 30-1 is not required. The two sharp balls can be transferred while the dish D is stopped only by the turning operation of the chuck 41a. In addition, even in the case of the arrangement of the shrimp balls RN with seaweed according to the second embodiment (see FIG. 14), two pieces can be stopped while the dish D is stopped only by the turning operation of the chuck 41a without changing the moving distance of the chuck 41a. Can be transferred. For this reason, in this Embodiment, while being able to simplify control of the warship winding shaping | molding transfer apparatus M, the transfer time of the sharp ball RN with a seaweed can be shortened.
