Here, FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the guide member gap adjusting means and the transport mechanism, and FIG. 2 is a side view schematically showing the operation of the gap adjusting means.

The ear hanging machine of the cultured shellfish of the present invention is the same as the ear hanging machine of the scallop according to the above-mentioned prior application except for the guide member interval adjusting means which is a characteristic part thereof. One embodiment of the interval adjusting means will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a link plate 11 as a first plate is provided on a lower guide plate 17 as a guide member fixed to a base (not shown) so as to extend horizontally. A pair of scallop shells A are slidably mounted in the vertical direction and symmetrically with respect to the axis C of the linear locking member through hole formed in the ear of the scallop shell on the link plate 11. Is placed horizontally. The pair of scallops A are sandwiched between the pair of presser levers 13 and the link plate 11 via the brushes 14 respectively attached to the pair of presser levers 13 as the second plate, and the ears thereof are held. They are fixed so as to face each other with the culture rope P interposed therebetween. Further, a pair of upper guide plates 18 as guide members that extend in parallel with the lower guide plate 17 and abut against the pair of press levers 13 to urge the press levers 13 toward the link plate 11 side are provided. The scallop is attached to ends of a pair of support members 21 extending from a main structure of the ear hanging machine via a pair of guide member interval adjusting means 20.

Next, the structure of the guide member interval adjusting means 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The guide member interval adjusting means 20 includes a holder 22 screwed to an end of the support member 21 and a pair of bushes 2
7, a shaft 23 rotatably supported and extending in the vertical direction, and a spring pin 2
5, a knob 24 (operating portion) attached to rotate integrally with the shaft 23, and a screw portion 2 of the shaft 23
And a guide plate support member 26 screwed to 3a and slidably supported in the vertical direction with respect to the holder 22. The upper guide plate 18 is screwed to the guide plate support member 26 so as to be integrally displaceable in the vertical direction in the figure.

Next, the guide member interval adjusting means 20 described above is used.

And make the opening angle smaller. As a result, the small scallops A are strongly pressed against the link plate 11 by the brush 14 and securely fixed. On the other hand, when the large scallop shell A is hung from the ear, the upper guide plate 18 is moved from the lower guide plate 17 by operating the guide member interval adjusting means 20 as shown in FIG. By separating, the opening angle between the link plate 11 and the holding lever 13 is increased. As a result, the large scallops A are not pressed against the link plate 11 by the brush 14 with excessive force, so that the ears are securely fixed so as to face the culture rope P.

That is, in the scallop ear hanger of this embodiment, the lower guide plate 17 and the upper guide plate 18 are operated by a simple operation of pinching and rotating the knob 24 of the guide member interval adjusting means 20 with a finger. Can be adjusted, so that the scallop A can be securely held and fixed by the link plate 11 and the holding lever 13 regardless of the size of the scallop A to be hung from the ear.

In the present embodiment, the guide member spacing adjusting means is constituted by using a screw shaft extending in the direction in which the guide member is brought into contact with or separated from the guide member. It is easy for a person skilled in the art to be able to adjust the spacing of the guide members using.

[Effects of the Invention] The ear hanger of the cultured shellfish of the present invention is constructed as described above, so that the following excellent effects can be obtained. That is, by adjusting the interval between the pair of guide plates by using the guide member interval adjusting means provided in the ear hanger of the cultured shellfish of the present invention, the scallops can be transferred to the conveyor regardless of the size of the scallops. Positioning can be reliably performed, and the displacement can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to increase the accuracy of the drilling position of the hole through which the linear locking member is passed through the ear of the cultured shell, so that the through hole that is reliably continuous with the cultured shell and the cultured rope to be superimposed is formed. This makes it possible to securely fix the cultured shellfish to the culture rope. Furthermore, since the cultured shellfish does not easily fall off even when the transport speed of the cultured shellfish is increased, the working efficiency can be further improved.
