11f and 11g are formed by being distributed in the horizontal direction with respect to the culture rope P. As shown in FIG. 13, a height difference is provided between the left mounting surface 11 a and the right mounting surface 11 b with respect to the culture rope P. The pair of scallops A and B placed on the both placement surfaces 11a are positioned by the positioning portions 11e, 11f, and 11g such that their ears vertically hold the culture rope P. .

As shown in FIG. 15, a guide groove 11c is formed at the center in the width direction of the link plate 11 and opens upward to receive the culture rope P.
Then, the scallop shells A and B are placed on the placement surfaces 11a and 11b of the link plate 11 in a state where the culture rope P is inserted through the guide grooves 11c, and the positioning unit 1
When positioned by 1e, 11f, and 11g, the ears of both scallops A and B sandwich the culture rope P in the vertical direction.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, a continuous portion of the link plate 11 where the ear portions of both scallops A and the culture rope P are vertically overlapped as shown in FIG. A hole 11d is formed so that a later-described locking wire S and a drill 19 of the drilling mechanism 4 are inserted therethrough.

The holding lever 13 and the connecting pin 16
Are arranged in the width direction of the link plate 11 so that the scallops A and B placed on the respective mounting surfaces 11a and 11b are respectively disposed on the surfaces facing the mounting surfaces 11a and 11b. Utilizing the elastic force of the brush 14 provided, the brush 14 is pressed against the link plate 11 so as to be clamped and fixed to the link plate 11.

The transport mechanism 3 constructed as described above
As shown in FIG. 11, in a state of being wound around both pulleys 9 and 10, the upper straight portion is formed as a transport portion 3 a, and the portion wound on the pulleys 9 and 10 in the transport direction is a scallops A. A release portion 3b for releasing the holding and fixing of B is formed, and the remaining portion is formed as an idle feeding portion 3c. The inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the transport section 3a are guided by a pair of guide plates 17 and 18 which are mounted on the base 2 substantially horizontally and vertically at predetermined intervals. Therefore,
Pulley 9.1 driven intermittently by drive mechanism 8
Due to the rotation of 0, the link plate 11 is intermittently moved at a pitch equal to its length and sequentially sent to the transport section 3a, and the holding lever 13 is swung toward the link plate 11 side by the upper guide plate 18. And scallops A and B are clamped and fixed. In the release section 3b, the holding lever 13 is moved by the link plate 11 due to its own weight.

In order to perform the ear hanging operation for fixing the scallops A and B to the culture rope P by using the scallop ear hanging machine according to the earlier application configured as described above, first, the transport mechanism 3 As shown in FIG. 10, the culture rope P is inserted into the guide groove 11c of the link plate 11 located in the transport section 3a. Next, the transport conveyor 12 of the transport mechanism 3
Are moved intermittently by the connection pitch of the link plate 11, and scallops A and B are respectively inserted from both sides in the width direction of the link plate 11 located at the upstream end of the transporting section 3a, and the scallops are inserted. Shell mounting surface 11a / 11b
The scallops A and B are placed on the top. At the same time scallops A
As shown in FIG. 15, the ear portion B is brought into contact with the positioning portions 11 e, 11 f, and 11 g of the link plate 11 for positioning. At this time, the transport conveyor 12 of the transport mechanism 3 has the lower link plate 11 supported by the lower guide plate 17 and the upper presser lever 13 guided by the upper guide plate 18. Since the upward rotation is restricted, the scallops A and B elastically deform the brush 14 attached to the holding lever 13 by the above-described operation, and thus the link plate 11 Are pressed by the mounting surfaces 11a and 11b, and are positioned and held.

In this way, one link plate 11
The scallops A and B and the cultivation rope P positioned and mounted with respect to are intermittently moved with the transport conveyor 12,
It is sequentially opposed to the punching mechanism 4, the threading mechanism 5, or the thread cutting mechanism 6, and is stopped at that position. While the movement of the conveyor 12 is stopped, the punching mechanism 4, the threading mechanism 5, the cutting mechanism 6, and the thread crushing mechanism 7 operate.

After the scallops A and B and the cultivation rope P are positioned and the conveyor 12 is conveyed and faces the perforation mechanism 4, the drill guide 20 and the drill 19 of the perforation mechanism 4 start descending. Drill 1
9 is driven to rotate by the electric motor 21. Then, the guide cylinder 30 at the tip of the drill guide 20 comes into contact with the upper surface of the upper scallops A, and the descent thereof stops. However, the drill 19 further descends, penetrates the guide cylinder 30, and then moves downward. The scallop A, the culture rope P and the lower scallop A are sequentially perforated to form a scallop A shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), continuous through holes are formed in these.

When the drilling operation is completed, as shown in FIG. 13, the cutting mechanism 6 and the threading mechanism 5 located below the link plate 11 are raised, and the scallops A and B and the culture rope P are raised. Are located coaxially and in a position close to the through hole formed in the hole. Subsequently, the threading mechanism 5 is raised to push up the thread S remaining in the cutter 45 upward, and the thread S passes through both the scallops A and B and the culture rope P. It is projected upward.

When the thread S is protruded above the upper scallops A, first, the upper thread crushing mechanism 7 is operated, and the tip of the protruded thread S is gripped by the pressing claw 56, By operating the further upper crushing mechanism 7,
The tip of the thread S is compressed flat as shown by the broken line in FIG.

Next, when the threading mechanism 5 is lowered, the leading end of the thread S is gripped by the upper thread crushing mechanism 7, so that the thread S is pulled out of the guide pipe 41 by the descending amount of the threading mechanism 5. It is. Thereafter, the cutting mechanism 6 and the threading mechanism 5 are lowered by a small amount in synchronization with each other, and then the cutter 45 is rotated by the swinging means 46 so that the thread S is moved between the cutter 45 and the head casing 44. It is sharply cut at the inclined contact surface with the lid 47.

By further lowering the cutting mechanism 6 and the threading mechanism 5 by a small amount, the lower end of the thread S penetrated by both the scallop A and the culture rope P is exposed from the cutting mechanism 6. And the lower thread crushing mechanism 7
Operates, and the lower end portion of the yarn S is squeezed and deformed flat as shown by the broken line in FIG. As a result, the upper and lower ends of the thread S are squeezed and deformed in a flat shape, thereby preventing the two scallops A and B from separating from the thread S. As a result, both the scallops A and B are attached to the culture rope P. It is fixed to keep it from falling off.

The scallops A and B, which have been fixed to the culture rope P as described above, are smoothly released from the conveyor 12 as the link plate 11 moves.

[0019]

By the way, in the ear hanging machine for scallops according to the prior application, as shown in FIG.
Positioning portion 11f for positioning lower scallop B positioned so that the ear is positioned below culture rope R
11g is formed so as to abut on the two sides B1 and B2 forming the corners of the ears of the lower scallop B. However, since the groove 11c through which the culture rope P is inserted is provided at the center in the width direction of the link plate 11, the upper-stage scallops A positioned so that the ears are positioned above the culture rope P can be used. The positioning portion for positioning cannot be formed so as to abut each of the two adjacent sides A1 and A2 forming the corners of the ears of the upper scallop A, and the positioning portion abuts on one side A1. Only the portion 11e is formed.

Therefore, in the ear hanging machine for scallops according to the prior application, there are cases where the scallops A on the upper stage cannot be accurately positioned. Thereby, when the through-hole is drilled in the ear of the scallops A by the drilling mechanism 4, the through-hole is drilled at the end of the ear and the ear is lacking. In some cases, it cannot be fixed securely. Then, the scallops A lacking the ears are fixed to the culture rope P by manual work, which causes a decrease in the efficiency of the ear hanging work.

In the ear hanging machine for scallops according to the above-mentioned prior application, the link plate 11 and the holding lever 1 are provided.
When inserting the scallops A between the brush 14 and the third brush 14, the operator can grasp the scallops stored in the basket one by one and take them out, thereby improving the speed of ear hanging work. There was a problem that it could not be done.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and enables the upper scallops A placed on the link plate to be reliably positioned.
An object of the present invention is to make it possible to quickly insert scallops A and B onto a link plate, thereby further improving the efficiency of hanging ears of scallops.

Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the second positioning member is brought close to the link plate, FIG. 2 is a plan view for explaining a positioning state of the scallops by the second positioning member, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a front view of an elevating device for elevating and lowering the second positioning member, FIG. 5 is a plan view of the elevating device shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is an installation of a scallop mounting table. FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the state, and FIG. 7 is a side view showing the attached state of the scallops mounting table.

The scallop ear hanging machine of the present embodiment is different from the scallop ear hanging machine of the prior application shown in FIGS.
, A lifting device 80 for raising and lowering the second positioning member 70, and a scallops mounting table 100. Other configurations are the same as those of the earlier application. It is almost the same as. Therefore, in the following description, the characteristic portions of the present application will be described in detail.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the second positioning member 70 is provided with a scallops A mounted on the upper mounting surface 11a of the link plate 11, and ears of the scallop shells P. The base 7 is attached to the lifting rod 81 of the lifting device 80.
1 and a positioning portion 72 extending in a horizontal direction from the base portion 71 and having a substantially V-shape in plan view. Then, the side surfaces 74 and 75 inside the positioning portion 72 are scallop A
The two sides A1 and A2 forming the corners of the ears of the ear are respectively abutted. Further, grooves 73 are formed in the lower surfaces of the base 71 and the positioning portion 72 so as to prevent interference with the culture rope P.

By the way, in general, the shape of the pair of ears of the scallops is not symmetrical with respect to the center line, and as shown in a plan view in FIG. One ear has a larger area. Also,
The angle formed by the two sides A1 and A2 forming the corner of the ear on this side is the two sides A2 and A forming the corner of the ear on the heart H side.
The angle is smaller than the angle formed by 3 and is closer to a right angle. The second positioning member 70 of the present embodiment utilizes such a property of the scallop, and the second positioning member 70 includes the side surface 74.
The angle formed by the lines 75 is approximately 110 ° in accordance with the average value of the angles formed by the two sides A1 and A2 forming the corners of the ears of the scallop A far from the heart H.

Similarly, the positioning portion 11f of the link plate 11 serving as the first positioning member for positioning the scallops B so that their ears are located below the culture rope P.
11g also has an angle of about 110 ° so as to abut each of the two sides A1 and A2 forming the corners of the ears of the scallop A farther from the heart H.

Thus, in the scallop ear hanger of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG.
The scallops A placed on the upper mounting surface 11a are placed on the side surfaces 74 and 75 of the second positioning member 70, and the scallops B placed on the lower mounting surface 11a are placed in the second position. Positioning portion 11 of link plate 11 as positioning member 1
e · 11f are positioned by abutting the two sides forming the corners of the ears.
B is accurately positioned in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction in which the culture rope P extends. Therefore, when a through hole is formed in the ears of the scallops A and B by the piercing mechanism 4, the through hole can be formed substantially at the center of the ear of the scallop, so that the through hole is formed in the end of the ear. A hole can be formed to prevent the ear from being chipped.

Next, the elevating mechanism 80 for elevating and lowering the second positioning member 70 will be described. In the scallop ear hanging machine of the present embodiment, when the attachment of the scallops A and B to the link plate 11 is completed, the link plate 11 moves forward with the scallops A and B placed thereon, and Shell A
-It is transported so that B faces the punching mechanism 4. As a result, the link plate 11 is kept in a state where the upper scallop A is positioned by the second positioning member 70 as described above.
Is moved forward, the scallops A and the second positioning member 70 interfere with each other. Therefore, the lifting mechanism 80 according to the present embodiment raises the second positioning member 70 when moving the link plate 11.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the elevating mechanism 80 includes an elevating rod 81 having a second positioning member 70 attached to a lower end thereof, and the elevating rod 81 being slidable in the vertical direction. A central portion in the longitudinal direction is pivotally supported by a supporting guide 82 and a horizontally extending support shaft 85, and one end of the guide 82 is engaged with the upper end of the lift rod 81 so as to hold the lift rod 81. An elevating lever 84 that is driven in the vertical direction, a connecting rod 88 that swingably engages with the other end of the elevating lever 84 and extends downward,
A drive rod 91 and the like are provided which engage the lower end of the connecting rod 88 via a bracket 92 to intermittently bias the connecting rod 88 downward. The guide 82 and the support shaft 85 are supported by stays 83 and 86 screwed to the base 2, respectively. The drive rod 91 is driven by exactly the same mechanism as the mechanism for raising and lowering the punching mechanism 4, the threading mechanism 5, and the cutting mechanism 6, respectively.
That is, it is driven by a cam rotated by the drive mechanism 8. Further, the connecting rod 88
Is always urged upward by a spring 94 interposed between a bracket 93 screwed to the base 2 and a boss 88a provided on the connecting rod 88, and thus the second positioning member 70 Is always positioned closest to the link plate 11.

Next, the operation of the lifting mechanism 80 will be described. When the link plate 11 is intermittently operated by the pulleys 9 and 10 and stops at the position where the scallops A and B are inserted, the drive rod 91 is moved. Rise, spring 9
4 allows the connecting rod 88 to be displaced upward. As a result, the second positioning member 70 rises and descends from the retracted position, is positioned at the position closest to the link plate 11, and thus has its positioning surface 7
5 and the side surface of the positioning portion 11e provided on the link plate 11 are flush with each other. When a predetermined time required for inserting the scallops A and B into the link plate 11 elapses, the drive rod 91 descends, pulls the connecting rod 88 downward, and raises the second positioning member 70. Thereby, even if the link plate 11 is displaced forward in the transport direction, the second positioning member 70 does not interfere with the scallops A. Then, when the new link plate 11 stops at the position where the scallops A and B are inserted, the drive rod 91 rises to move the second positioning member 70.
Is set at a position closest to the link plate 11. In this manner, the second positioning member 70 moves up and down in synchronization with the intermittent movement of the link plate 11 toward the front in the transport direction.

Next, the scallop mounting table 100 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the scallop placing table 1
Reference numeral 00 denotes a pair of mounting plates 102 and 104 disposed so as to sandwich the transport conveyor 12 formed by connecting the link plates 11 endlessly in the left-right direction, and the mounting plate 1 screwed to the base 2.
Frames 101 and 10 for supporting 02.104 from below
3 and a vertical wall 106 erected on the outer periphery of the mounting plates 102 and 104 to prevent the scallops placed on the mounting plates 102 and 104 from falling. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface of the placing plate 102 is the upper surface of the scallop placing surface 11 a of the link plate 11, and the upper surface of the placing plate 104 is the lower scallop placing surface of the link plate 11. Surface 11b
And each is flush.

The portion of the vertical wall 106 near the link plate 11 is formed of, for example, a resin plate so as to be easily bent. When a scallop is pressed against the vertical wall 106, it is displaced to the position shown in FIG. Thus, the scallops are guided toward the positioning portion 11f11g of the link plate 11 and the second positioning member 70. Then, when the pressing of the scallops against the vertical wall 106 is stopped, the vertical wall 106 is restored to the original position so as not to interfere with the link plate 11 which is intermittently conveyed.

As a result, the worker who hangs the scallops on the ears first transfers a large number of scallops stored in the baskets onto the mounting plates 102 and 104. Thereafter, when the scallops on the placing plates 102 and 104 are slid on the placing plates 102 and 104 to approach the link plate 11, the surface of the placing plates 102 and 104 11a and 11b are flush with each other and the vertical wall 106 guides the scallop, so if the scallop on the mounting plates 102 and 104 is slid as it is, the scallop of the link plate 11 Shell mounting surface 11a
b.

[0049]

The scallop ear hanger of the present invention is constructed as described above, so that the following excellent effects can be obtained. That is, according to the scallop ear hanger of the present invention, the scallops transferred from the basket to the scallop mounting table are extremely easily and quickly linked by sliding on the scallop mounting table. Can be transferred on a plate. As a result, the ear hanging operation of the scallop can be performed extremely quickly and easily, so that not only the work efficiency of the ear hanging operation of the scallop can be improved, but also the worker performing the ear hanging operation. Physical load can be reduced.

Further, according to the scallops ear hanger of the present invention, the scallops mounted on the upper mounting surface of the link plate are moved by the second positioning means, and the lower mounting surface is mounted. The scallop placed on the scallop can be reliably positioned with respect to the culture rope by the positioning portion of the link plate as the first positioning means. As a result, the through hole is not formed in the ear in a state where the ear of the scallop is displaced with respect to the culture rope, so that the ear of the scallop is missing and the fixing to the culture rope does not fail. This eliminates the need for the worker to manually fix the scallop to the culture rope, which has failed in hanging the ears, thereby further improving the efficiency of hanging the scallop ears.
