The operation timing is set.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment thus constructed will be described. First, the transport section 3 of the transport mechanism 3 will be described.
In the guide groove 11c of the link plate 11 located at a,
As shown in FIG. 3, the culture rope P is inserted.

Next, the transfer conveyor 12 of the transfer mechanism 3
Are moved intermittently by the connection pitch of the link plates 11, and the scallop shells A are inserted into the link plate 11 located at the upstream end of the transport section 3a from both sides thereof, so that each scallop shell A The ear part of the culture rope P

Above the through hole 11c.

At this time, in the transfer conveyor 12 of the transfer mechanism 3, the link plate 11 constituting the lower part thereof is supported by the lower guide plate 17, and the pressing lever 13 constituting the upper part has the upper guide plate 1
8, the upward rotation is restricted, so that the scallop shell A elastically deforms the brush 14 attached to the holding lever 13 by the above-described insertion operation, and accommodates the concave portion 11 b of the link plate 11. Is inserted into.

As a result, the scallop A has the brush 14
Accommodation recess 11b of the link plate 11 by the elastic force of
And is positioned and held at the position as described above.

The scallop A insertion operation as described above is sequentially performed on the link plate 11 which is sequentially sent to the upstream side of the transport unit 3a by the intermittent movement of the transport conveyor 12 described above, and the scallop A is transported to the transport mechanism 3. Wear continuously.

In this way, the scallop A and the culture rope P positioned and placed on the link plate 11 are placed.
With the intermittent movement of the conveyor 12, the punching mechanism 4, the linear locking member passing mechanism 5, or the linear locking
While being opposed to the member cutting mechanism 6, it is stopped at that position.

Then, while the movement of the transfer conveyor 12 is stopped, the punching mechanism 4, the linear locking member passing mechanism 5, the cutting mechanism 6, and the linear locking member crushing. The mechanism 7 is activated.

Each of these operations will be detailed below. The piercing mechanism 4 includes a scallop A and a culture rope P.
While the transport conveyor 12 but positioned conveyed, as shown in FIG. 13, with being is located in the uppermost position by the action of the cam 28, the upper and lower linear locking
The member crushing mechanism 7 is held in a state where the pressing claws 56 are opened.

As a result, the cam 28 is operated, the drill guide 20 and the drill 19 of the drilling mechanism 4 start descending, and the drill 19 is driven to rotate by the electric motor 21.

Then, the drill guide 20 comes into contact with the upper surface of the scallop A on the upper side where the guide cylinder 30 at the tip thereof is positioned below to prevent the drill guide 20 from descending (see FIG. 14). In the drill 19, the compression spring 36 of the differential mechanism 32 provided between the drill guide stay 31 and the motor stay 24 is compressed,
Relative movement with the drill guide 20 is performed, and the drill guide 20 is further lowered.

As a result, the drill 19 is passed through the guide cylinder 30 and then sequentially processed into the upper scallop A, the aquaculture rope P, and the lower scallop A located below the guide cylinder 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, continuous through holes are formed in these.

After the punching work is completed, the punching mechanism 4 is again raised to the maximum raised position and put in a standby state.

When the punching work is completed in this way, the cutting mechanism 6 and the linear locking member threading mechanism 5 located below the link plate 11 are raised as shown in FIG. The through hole 47a formed in the lid 47 of No. 6 is located at a position coaxial with and close to the through holes formed in the scallop A and the culture rope P.

Here, the cutting mechanism 6 is stopped from rising, but the linear locking member threading mechanism 5 is then moved up, and the guide pipe 41 of the linear locking member passing mechanism 5 is moved to the cutter, as shown in FIG. A predetermined length is inserted from below into the guide hole 45b of 45.

By this operation, the linear locking member S remaining in the cutter 45 is pushed upward, and as shown in FIG. 16, the linear locking member S is moved to both scallops. It penetrates A and the culture rope P and is made to project above it.

[0073] In this way, the line-shaped engaging member S of is pushed upward, the guide frictional resistance is applied to the linear locking member S in the curved portion of the pipe 41, the line by the frictional resistance Guide pipe 41 of the locking member S
This is because slipping in is prevented.

When the linear locking member S is projected above the upper scallop A as described above, first, the upper
The linear locking member crushing mechanism 7 is operated, the tip of the protruded linear locking member S is gripped by the pressing claw 56, and the upper linear locking member crushing mechanism 7 is further operated by the operation of the linear locking member crushing mechanism 7 above. The distal end of the linear locking member S is compressed flat as shown by a broken line in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the linear locking portion
The material passing mechanism 5 is lowered.

As the linear locking member threading mechanism 5 descends, the linear locking member S has its tip end in the upper linear shape.
Since it is gripped by the locking member crushing mechanism 7,
The linear locking member threading mechanism 5 is pulled out from the guide pipe 41 by the descending amount.

After this, the cutting mechanism 6 and the linear locking portion
The mixture was allowed to small amount lowered synchronously and wood threading mechanism 5, the cutter 45 by the swinging means 46, by being rotated as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 17, the linear locking
The member S is the cutter 45 and the lid 4 of the head casing 44.
7 is sharply cut at the inclined contact surface, and
The inclined cut surface is directed inward in the direction of the curl of the linear locking member S.

Therefore, when the above-mentioned linear locking member S is inserted, the through hole 47a, the scallop A, and the aquaculture are determined depending on the curl of the linear locking member S and the direction of the cut surface. The sharp tip is urged away from the inner wall surface of the through hole formed in the rope P to prevent the sharp tip from being caught, and a smoother insertion operation can be obtained.

Further, the cutting mechanism 6 and the linear
By slightly lowering the locking member passing mechanism 5, as shown in FIG. 18, the lower ends of the linear locking members S penetrated by both the scallops A and the culture rope P are separated from the cutting mechanism 6 by the cutting mechanism 6. Exposed.

Next, the lower linear locking member crushing mechanism 7 is actuated to squeeze and deform the lower end of the linear locking member S into a flat shape as shown by the broken line in FIG. .

As a result, both ends of the linear locking member S are squeezed and deformed into a flat shape to prevent the scallops A from separating from the linear locking member S. As a result, both scallops A is fixed to the culture rope P.

After that, the holding of the linear locking member S by the upper and lower linear locking member crushing mechanisms 7 is released, and
When the transport mechanism 3 is operated by one pitch, the link plate 11 at the latter stage is sent between the perforating mechanism 4 and the cutting mechanism 6 and positioned, and the scallop A is sequentially fixed to the aquaculture rope P by the same action. To be done.

On the other hand, the link plate 1 on which the scallop A, which has been fixed to the culture rope P as described above, is placed.
1 and a presser lever 13 for pressing the scallops A
Is detached from the guide plates 17 and 18. The link plate 11 is wound around the pulley 9 in the forward direction in the transport direction as shown in FIG. 4, and the holding lever 13 is Since the upward rotation is free, the brush 14 is slightly rotated upward by the elastic force of the brush 14 which has been elastically deformed in the initial stage of the winding into the pulley 9, and the link plate 11 is rotated. Is further rolled into the pulley 9, the holding lever 13 rotates in a direction away from the link plate 11 by its own weight.

As a result, the grip of the scallop A by the link plate 11 and the pressing lever 13 is naturally released, and the scallop A and the culture rope P are conveyed.
Smoothly separated from.

According to the scallop ear-hanging machine of this embodiment having the above-described structure, the cutting mechanism 6 causes the linear hook to move.
When the stop member S is cut, its cut end is slanted to form a sharp shape. Therefore, the scallop A and the culture rope P
When it is inserted into the container, it can be inserted smoothly and surely, and the reliability of the work is secured.

[0086] Also, the cut surface of the line-shaped engaging member S, linear engagement
Since the stopper member S is directed inward in the curl direction, a sharp
The tip end surface of the linear locking member S is separated as much as possible from the inner wall of the hole through which the linear locking member S can be inserted easily.

Moreover, since the linear locking member S is directly inserted into the scallop and the aquaculture rope, the holes formed in these are equal to the outer diameter of the linear locking member S or A slightly larger inner diameter is required, which allows for linear locking
The gap between the material S and the scallop A is suppressed to be small, and therefore the retaining is reliably prevented.

Further, in this embodiment, the transport mechanism 3 is provided with a plurality of link plates 11 and these link plates 1.
1 and a holding lever 13 rotatably mounted on the link plate 1. These link plates 11 are connected endlessly and wound around a pair of pulleys 9, 10. And the presser lever 13 are transported while being held in a horizontal state.
When the is mounted on the transport mechanism 3, the positioning thereof is simple, and the positional deviation is suppressed even during the transport,
Therefore, workability is greatly improved.

Furthermore, since the pressing lever 13 is provided with the brush 14 which is an elastic body on the side facing the link plate 11, the scallop A is elastically deformed by the elastic force of the brush 14 while elastically deforming the brush 14. Pressed. Therefore, the vibration during the punching work is alleviated by the brush 14, and the scallop A is securely fixed without shifting.
In addition, since the brush 14 that holds the scallop A is elastically deformed, even when fixing the scallops A of different sizes, individual adjustment work is unnecessary. In addition, each of the brushes 14 comes into contact with the surface of the scallop A and elastically deforms, and presses the scallop A over a wide range of the surface thereof. Damage or the like due to local pressure is prevented.

Further, the position accuracy of the drilling at the time of the drilling operation at the subsequent stage can be improved, and it is possible to form a continuous through hole in the two overlapping scallops A and the culture rope P without fail. The scallop A is securely fixed to the culture rope P.

Further, with respect to the transport mechanism 3, a punching mechanism 4, a linear locking member threading mechanism 5, a cutting mechanism 6, and
It is possible to dispose the linear locking member crushing mechanism 7 and the like along the vertical direction, and it is possible to suppress the dimensional expansion of the device in the horizontal direction, and as a result, it is possible to save space when installing the device. Planned.

On the other hand, when the installation space can be sufficiently ensured, the mounting area of the scallops A on the transport conveyor 12 can be set long by increasing the length of the transport section 3a of the transport mechanism 3, whereby , Transport mechanism 3
Is increased, and the working efficiency is improved.

Further, even when the scallop A, which has been fixed to the aquaculture rope P, is separated from the transport mechanism 3, after the link plate 11 is wound around the pulley 9, a holding lever for holding the scallop A is held. Since 13 is rotated by its own weight to release the holding of the scallop A, the smooth separation is performed.

The various shapes, dimensions, and the like of the components shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and can be variously changed based on design requirements and the like.

For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the transport mechanism 3 is intermittently moved, and when the transport mechanism 3 is stopped, the scallop A and the culture rope P are pierced and the linear locking members are passed through. Although an example in which the fixing work is performed has been shown, it is possible to adopt the following configuration instead of this.

That is, the transfer mechanism 3 is moved at a constant speed, and various devices such as the punching mechanism 4 and the linear locking member threading mechanism 5 are moved while following the moving direction of the transfer mechanism 3. It is a structure to perform work.

Even in the case of such a configuration, since the above-mentioned devices can be arranged along the vertical direction, the moving space for these devices is almost limited only above the transport mechanism 3. Thus, an increase in the installation area in the horizontal direction is suppressed as much as possible.

[0098]

The present invention has the following effects. (1) Since the presser lever is provided with the elastic body on the side facing the mounting plate, the vibration during the drilling work is alleviated by the elastic body, and the scallop in the horizontal state is reliably positioned and fixed. be able to. As a result, it is possible to accurately perform the punching operation to the predetermined position and surely insert the linear locking member . (2) Since the elastic body is elastically deformed, even when fixing scallops of different sizes, it is not necessary to individually adjust the position of each scallop, and work efficiency is improved. (3) Since the elastic body has a brush shape, each brush comes into contact with the surface of the scallop and elastically deforms, and presses the scallop over a wide range of the surface.
The shift can be further suppressed, and damage or the like due to the local pressure on the scallop can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to reduce damage defects in the scallop shell ear hanging work. (4) A pair of scallops distributed to the left and right of the culture rope
There is a pair of presser levers that hold the shellfish
So each scallop can be adapted to its size and shape
Positioning at the same time with certainty
Of the scallops can be performed accurately,
Can be.
