Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic insertion device for a shell locking device, which is mounted on a machine for manually inserting the shell locking device into a rope, and the shell locking device can be automatically inserted into the rope by an automatic machine. Regarding attachments.

  Currently, most scallops are mostly farmed. One method for cultivating scallops is ear suspension culture. The scallop culture method is generally such that scallop ear hanging hangers are attached to a bus bar such as a thin string or rope at substantially equal intervals, and the scallop larvae are attached to the hanger. More specifically, a scallop with a structure in which a hole by drilling is provided in the scallop ears and an ag is provided in the hole at the end of the stem of the hanger so as to coincide with the axial direction of the stem. This is a method of culturing by inserting the stem bar into the hole of the juvenile shell and using the hook for hanging shellfish to hang it in the sea.

  Conventionally, the operation of inserting the shell locking tool into the rope is carried out by attaching a rope to the machine and molding the guide needle with a guide groove perpendicular to the rope into the guide groove. It is done by inserting one shell at a time with the claws of the shell locker facing upward. When plugged in by hand, it is a heavy labor for workers and the efficiency is low, so improvement in processing efficiency has been desired.

For this reason, various devices such as semi-automated devices and automated devices have been developed as cultured fish ear-hanging devices.
For example, as a device for automatically inserting a suspension pin into an aquaculture rope, a guide needle having a guide groove is inserted into the aquaculture rope insertion position, and the suspension pin separated from the support frame is placed at the tip position of the guide needle. A device for automatically inserting a suspension pin into an aquaculture rope by carrying and inserting the tip of the suspension pin into a guide groove, pushing the rear end of the suspension pin with a pushing plate and pushing the suspension pin along the guide groove is known. . Since the operation mechanism of this device is a device that performs both the operation of the guide needle and the operation of the suspension pin pushing plate using the needle working air cylinder and the pushing plate working air cylinder, it takes time to mount.

  In addition, a pin continuous mounting device has been developed that can automate the mounting of pins on an aquaculture rope, and can significantly reduce the mounting efficiency of pins so that one pin can be mounted in 1 to 2 seconds. This pin continuous mounting device has a pin feed mechanism that intermittently feeds a pin sheet in which a large number of pins are integrally suspended at a fixed pitch between the left and right holding rods, a pin grip that grips the tip pin of the pin sheet, and a grip A pin cutting mechanism that cuts and separates both ends of the pin from the pin sheet, a guide needle that is intermittently inserted into the rope and has a pin insertion hole, and a pin grip that reciprocates between the pin feed mechanism and the rope It consists of a pin grip movement rotation mechanism that rotates the pin and inserts it into the insertion hole of the guide needle (Patent Document 1).

  Furthermore, a suspension pin insertion device has been developed in which a suspension pin is inserted into a scallop aquaculture rope into a use state by a single insertion operation so that the holding strength of the shell is not impaired. This suspension pin insertion device includes a guide needle insertion device that inserts a guide needle into an aquaculture rope, and a suspension pin feeding device that holds the suspension pin and inserts it into the guide needle. The pin receiving piece and the pin holding piece of the hanging pin feeding device sandwich one end portion outside the holding projection of the hanging pin and insert the other end portion of the hanging pin into the guide needle. The pin holding piece is attached to the pin holding rod so that it can swing, and the pin holding piece and the pin holding piece are provided with protrusions at both ends of the opposing surface to stabilize the holding, and the guide needle is formed in a tapered cylindrical shape. By enlarging, even if the tip position of the suspension pin deviates from the center of the guide needle, it can be easily inserted (Patent Document 2).

As an automation device, an ear suspension device for cultured shellfish, in which the ears of juveniles of ropes and cultured shellfish are stacked, a through hole is formed in the rope and ear portion, and a locking tool is pierced through the through hole, It has been developed. In this apparatus, a shell stocker for placing juveniles, a transport unit for transporting the juveniles from the shell stocker to a shell supply unit by a conveyor, and gripping the juveniles transported by the transport unit with a chuck, Shell supply part to supply, perforated part which forms a through-hole with a drill in the juvenile which is in a state of being gripped with the chuck and the rope overlapped with the young shell, and a latch which pierces the through-hole with a locking tool And a tool supply unit.
This device does not need to put the juveniles on the device's seats one by one, and the operator only transfers the juveniles on the shell stocker to the conveyor, so the processing capacity is high. It is not a mechanism that inserts a locking tool into the rope using a guide needle. Furthermore, it cannot be used by being mounted on a conventional manual feeder (Patent Document 3).

  Conventionally, the shell locking tool is inserted into the rope. The rope is attached to the machine, and the shell locking tool molded into a single piece with resin is passed through the rope, and the guide needle in the vertical groove is passed through the rope. This is done by inserting one shell at a time, with the claws of the shell locker facing upward. When inserting by hand, this insertion work performed by a single worker in a day is about several thousand, depending on the person, and improvement of the processing efficiency has been desired.

  Insert the shell locker into the rope by hand, make a hole in the ear of the scallop, insert the shell locker and suspend the scallop in the sea, the shell locker will rotate freely, and the shell lock The tool ag (d) comes into contact with the scallop projections, fatigue occurs in the ag part, comes in close contact with the bed of the shell locker, falls out of the scallop hole, and falls into the sea. On the other hand, the problem has arisen.

  However, in such a manual setting of the shell locking device to the rope, it takes a lot of time and effort to set tens of thousands of shell locking devices on the rope. In addition, development of a machine that efficiently sets shell lockers to ropes has been desired.

For this reason, various devices such as semi-automated devices and automated devices have been developed as cultured fish ear suspension devices.
An ear-hanging device for cultured shells has been developed in which the ropes and the ears of the cultured shellfish are placed one on top of the other and the through-holes are formed in the ropes and the ears, and the latches are inserted into the through-holes. In this apparatus, a shell stocker for placing juveniles, a transport unit for transporting the juveniles from the shell stocker to a shell supply unit by a conveyor, and gripping the juveniles transported by the transport unit with a chuck, Shell supply part to supply, perforated part which forms a through-hole with a drill in the juvenile which is in a state of being gripped with the chuck and the rope overlapped with the juvenile, and a latch which pierces the through-hole with a locking tool And a tool supply unit.
This device does not need to put the juveniles on the device's seats one by one, and the operator only transfers the juveniles on the shell stocker to the conveyor, so the processing capacity is high. It is not a mechanism that inserts a locking tool into the rope using a guide needle. It cannot be used by being mounted on a conventional manual feeder.

FIG. 6 can be referred to for the outline of the whole apparatus, and the enlarged view of the cutting mechanism of the shell locking tool of FIG. 7 and FIG. The mechanism can be easily grasped by referring to the enlarged view of the storage of the shell locker.
Separately connected shell locking tool (p) by cutting the connecting portion of the long connecting shell locking tool (P) sent to the cutting position to be inserted into the rope by the feeding mechanism (1) of the connecting shell locking tool The cutting blade (21) attached to the cut holder (22) is fixed by a spring (24) at the convex portion of the cam by, for example, rotation of the cut cam (23). If the object is pulled and a strong tension is applied to the spring, and the cam rotation becomes a concave part, the tension of the spring is released, and the cutting blade linked to it is extended when returning to the original position The connecting part of the connecting shell locking tool (P) is cut by a cutting blade with the force of the restoring force of the spring and separated into a single pin (p). The separated pin (p) of the single shell locking tool is dropped into the pin supply guide groove (25), and is substantially perpendicular to the traveling direction of the rope (R) and the connecting shell locking tool (P). It is dropped in the receiving groove (25) of the pin in a state of facing the direction.
The cut holder (22) is lowered at the upper part of the pin receiving groove (25) in order to secure a certain gap for preventing the pins from jumping up and off.
In order to make this cutting mechanism smooth, a pin cut position (211), a pin insertion position (292), a pin insertion guide (291), a pin supply guide (293), a pin supply position (294), and a cut If the operation is performed in consideration of the role of the cradle (28), the work can be carried out smoothly.

Next, the operating mechanism of the shell locking tool transfer mechanism (3) for inserting the cut shell locking tool single item (p) in one part into the guide needle (41) penetrating the rope is as follows. , A pin insertion pusher mechanism (33) composed of a long lot having a length enough to push a single shell locking tool into the pin guide needle, and this lot is arranged to be capable of moving forward and backward. The structure is such that the cut pin (p) of the single shell locker can be moved by a distance that guides the pin (p) into the pin guide needle (41), and the forward and backward movement of the pin insertion pusher (33) is uneven. Using the core cam (31), the system can move forward and backward periodically over a certain distance.
The details of the shell locking device transfer mechanism (3) for inserting the cut shell locking device (p) into the guide needle (41) penetrating the rope will be described with reference to FIGS. After cutting the continuous shell locking device (P) into a single product (p) and storing it in the pin receiving groove (25), the guide has a direction perpendicular to the travel of the rope (R). The connecting rod (44) and the shaft (43), which are connected to the guide needle (41) with the guide (42) as an axis, are moved by the rotation of the eccentric cam (45), and the shaft (43) is moved to the fixed position. Actuate to penetrate. An eccentric cam (45) is recommended as a system that can move periodically over a certain distance.
The structure of the guide needle (41) to be attached is, for example, one end of a pin (p) accommodated in the longitudinal direction in the conical projection portion in a cylindrical shape having a conical tip as seen in FIG. It has a structure having a notch portion that protrudes.

Next, the guide needle (41) penetrates the rope (R) in the state of operation of the attachment mechanism (4) of the single shell fastener (p) inserted and fixed into the rope (R). After that, the details of the mechanism for feeding the single shell locking tool (p) into the guide needle (41) will be described in advance with the position of the single shell locking tool cut off and stored in the receiving groove (25) as a starting point. An insertion pusher (33) provided in a direction orthogonal to the guide needle (41) passed through the opposing rope is guided in the forward direction by the rotation of the eccentric cam (31) via the link (32). (41) Push the shell locking tool separately (p). After being pushed in, the insertion pusher (33) is moved back to the original position by the rotation of the eccentric cam (31).
The sensor detects that the shell locker has been inserted into the guide needle (41), and the guide needle (41) comes off the rope (R) and returns to the original position. At this time, the guide needle (41) The shell locker single item (p) housed in is shown in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rope in the rope (R) due to the shape of the rope lock (c) of the shell locker. 3 and the single product (p) in FIG.
A sensor (not shown) senses that the guide needle (41) has returned to its original position, and the winding motor (c) of the rope (R) is activated to wind up the rope at regular intervals. Move to the system.
During this time, the interlocking cutting blade (21) returns to the original position in the convex and concave state of the eccentric cam (23) of the cut, and enters the next process. The groove structure of the guide needle is processed to be slightly larger than the single shell locking tool so that it does not come off the groove when the single shell locking tool (p) is pushed.

In the rope (R), when the insertion and attachment of the shell locking tool single item (p) is completed and the pin guide needle (41) is moved back to the position before proceeding, the process of one cycle is completed. The rope advances in the direction of the take-up reel, with the single shell fastener (p) fixed in the rope (R). Then, the next cycle of the insertion and attachment of the next shell locking tool single item (p) is started. The interval between attachments of the shell locking tool (p) fixed in the rope is usually about 60 to 80 cm. The change of the interval can be arbitrarily changed by adjusting the feed rate, and one cycle can be carried out at a high speed of about 0.5 to 1.0 sec at an interval of 60 to 80 cm.
By repeating such a cycle many times, insertion, attachment, and fixation of the shell locking tool single item (p) into the rope (R) are automatically achieved at high speed.
The automatic insertion device (attachment) of the present invention is compared with the operation of inserting the shell locking tool (p) into the rope (R) into the guide needle (41) used in the manual type machine as shown in FIG. Thus, there is an advantage that an operation of automatically fixing the shell locking tool (p) can be achieved at high speed, stably and accurately.

The single structure of the connecting shell locking device of the present invention has a sharp end structure such as a conical shape or a round shape so that both ends of the stem bar can be easily inserted into the rope (R). . This sharp end structure facilitates the insertion into the hole drilled in the ear of the juvenile and contributes to increase the efficiency of the operation of attaching the juvenile. An ag part is provided in a state where the tip part of the ag part is shifted to the outside of the trunk bar at a position slightly shifted from the both ends of the trunk bar to the center part side. Furthermore, in the center part of the stem bar, it also serves as an action for connecting a single piece of the substantially connected shell locking tool, or a distance of about the diameter of the rope (R) when the shell locking tool is attached to the rope. The anti-slip (preventing) protrusion is provided symmetrically.
The structure of the connecting shell locking device that can be supplied to the automatic device of the present invention is such that the center part of the pin is connected in large numbers by the protruding pieces, the end parts of the pins are connected in series by the strips, or the pin is aggregating. Various connecting shell locking devices such as one in which a substantially intermediate portion between the portion and the anti-slip projection are connected to each other by a plurality of strips symmetrically can be applied. In order to play the role of fixing the pin on the rope, the connecting shell locker that connects the central part of the pin with the connecting strip has a residual projection that fits almost in the central part of the rope after cutting and has an anchor effect. Recommended. As described above, the present invention is not construed as being limited to the specific connection shell locking device to which the structure of the ag portion of the present invention is attached, but is a known various form of scallop ear suspension connection that adopts the structure of the ag portion. The present invention can be applied to a shell locking device, and all devices of the present invention can be targeted.
The structure of the connecting shell locking tool (P) will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The ag parts (d) with protrusions in the center are symmetrically paired at both ends of an elongated trunk like a pin. Furthermore, the ropes (c) are provided symmetrically, and these single pins (p) are used for continuous molding of the shell locker and can be easily separated. Or what is connected by the strand (b) is recommended.

  As the material of the scallop-connected shell locker, metal, plastic, and many other materials are used, but plastic is generally most suitable. Plastic materials are polyethylene, polypropylene, polyacetal, polycarbonate, polyester, polysulfone, polyphenylene sulfide, polyarylate, polyamide, and other general-purpose plastic materials such as strength, durability, water resistance, reprocessability, non-toxicity, price, etc. Used in consideration of circumstances. In particular, any material belonging to the category of engineering plastics can be used arbitrarily, and is not limited to these exemplified plastic materials. In particular, polyamide resin is suitable in terms of durability, moldability, price, and the like. This is a material readily available under the trade name of nylon 6, 66, 11, 12, 46, 610. Nylon 11, 12 and the like are relatively small in water absorption and are suitable as a stem bar of a scallop locking tool.
