(Embodiment)
An example of the shell attachment method, the shell attachment device and the shell transfer method of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, the case where a shellfish is the scallop 3 is demonstrated as an example.

  The shell attachment device shown in FIG. 1 is a case where holes 5 (FIG. 1) are simultaneously drilled in two shells 3 and shell locks (pins) 2 are simultaneously inserted into the respective holes 5. 1 includes a rotating body 30 that rotates intermittently at predetermined intervals, a holder 11 that is mounted in pairs in several rotational directions of the rotating body 30, and a hole P in the shell 3 that is inserted into the holder 11. A shell aligning portion 31 for aligning (FIG. 11) in a predetermined position, a drill 32 for making a hole 5 in the ear 4 (FIG. 11) of the shell 3 held by the holder 11, and an elongated tubular shape that can be inserted into the hole 5 of the shell 3. Guide 10 (FIGS. 3A and 3B), a pin setter 33 for inserting the pin 2 into the vertical rope 1, a rope feed mechanism 34 for intermittently feeding the vertical rope 1 to the pin support portion at a pin interval, and the sent vertical A pin holding portion 35 (FIG. 4 (c), FIGS. 9 (a) to 9 (d)) that supports the pin 2 inserted into the rope 1 to prevent the pin 2 from swinging or misaligned, and the supported pin 2 and insert the guide 10 into the hole 5 of the shell 3 arranged outside the An insertion mechanism 36 (FIGS. 3A and 3B) for connecting the guide 10 and the pin 2 in a straight line by placing the tip 10a of the pin 10 on the tip 2a of the pin 2, and the two shells 3 for the respective guides. 10 is slid to the inside of the pin 2 shell stop projection (hereinafter referred to as “age”) 7 (FIGS. 7A, 7B, 9A to 9D), and the shell 3 is moved to the pin 2 A horizontal slider 70 (FIGS. 9A to 9D and FIG. 10) for pulling the guide 10 away from the tip 2a of the pin 2 after the transfer is provided.

  A metal elongated pipe is suitable for the guide 10. The inner diameter is a size that can be put on the outer periphery of the tip 2 a of the pin 2, and the outer diameter is a thickness that can be inserted into the hole 5 of the shell 3 (the same thickness as the outer diameter of the pin 2). The guide 10 may be other than metal as long as it is hard and straight.

  In the rotating body 30, a shell feeding station, a shell aligning station, a drilling station, and a transfer station are set in the rotating direction, and the rotating body 30 rotates intermittently at each station. . In this case, the shell 3 can be loaded into the holder 11 at the shell loading station, and the hole P (FIG. 11) of the shell 3 in the holder 11 can be aligned at a predetermined position at the shell aligning station. In the drilling station, the aligned shells 3 can be drilled with the drilling drill 32, and in the transfer station, the holes of the two shells 3 arranged on both outer sides of the pins 2 of the vertical rope 1 The guide 10 can be inserted through the guide 5 and penetrated, and the tip 10a of the guide 10 protruding from the hole 5 is connected to the tip 2a of the pin 2 so that the two guides 10 and the pin 2 are aligned. The two shells 3 can be slid along the respective guides 10 to the inside of the pins 7 of the pins 2 and transferred from the guides 10 to the pins 2 to attach the shells 3 to the pins 2. Door can be.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the holder 11 has two holding plates 11a and 11b as a set, and the holding plates 11a and 11b of each set face each other so that they can be opened and closed. A space (pocket) 12 is formed between them. The holding plate 11a can be opened and closed by an open / close cylinder 69 (FIGS. 9A and 10). As shown in FIG. 6, the pocket 12 has an upper surface 12 a and both side surfaces 12 b opened, and the bottom surface is closed by a bottom plate 13. As shown in FIG. 1, an operator can put the shell 3 into the pocket 12 from the upper surface 12a. The introduced shell 3 is supported by the bottom plate 13. In this case, when the side surface 12b of the pocket 12 is open, the thrown shell 3 falls, so that the side surface 12b can be closed with the side closing tool 20 (FIG. 5). The side obturator 20 is U-shaped in plan view, and is disposed behind the pair of holders 11, can be advanced and retracted in the direction of arrow AA in FIG. 5, and can be advanced to the side surface 12 b of the pocket 12. The side surface 12b can be closed, and the side surface 12b is opened when it is retracted. The side closing tool 20 moves forward when the shell 3 is inserted and closes both side surfaces 12b. When the rotating body 30 rotates and the holder 11 is sent to the next work station, the side closing tool 20 retracts (retracts) to the rear of the holder 11 and moves to the holder. 11 is not disturbed.

  The shell aligning part 31 aligns the hole P of the shell 3 put in the pocket 12 on the axis of the electric drill 32. Since the directions and positions of the shells 3 thrown into the pockets 12 are not uniform, the holes 5 cannot be accurately drilled at the drilling points P as they are. The hole 5 does not necessarily have to be drilled anywhere in the shell 3, but the shell 3 grows unless it is drilled at a predetermined location (a portion of the single shell at the corner of the ear 4 in FIG. 2: a punched portion P: FIG. 11). May be hindered or the shellfish 3 may be killed. In order to reliably make the hole 5 in the hole P of the shell 3, it is necessary to position the hole P of the shell 3 in the pocket 12 on the axis of the drill 32.

  As an example, the shell alignment unit 31 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 includes a receiving tool 31a and a pressing tool 31b. The receiving tool 31 a and the pressing tool 31 b are paired and arranged for each holder 11. The receiving tool 31 a is arranged in the shell feeding direction ahead of the holder 11, and the pressing tool 31 b is arranged on the side of the holder 11. The receiving tool 31a can reciprocate in the direction of the arrow BB in FIG. 5, and is positioned beside the side surface 12b of the pocket 12 as it advances to the side of the holder 11. The pusher 31b rotates in the direction of arrow C as the shaft 54 rotates, hits the outer peripheral surface 3a of the shell 3 and pushes the shell 3 toward the receiver 31a to press the other outer peripheral surface 3b of the shell 3 against the receiver 31a. At this time, since the shell 3 is pushed by the curved arc surface 31c and is supported by the substantially letter-shaped receiving member 31a, the shell 3 is rotated and the punching position P of the shell 3 is set at a predetermined position (drilling). The holes P of the two shells 3 held by the two holders 11 are aligned with the drill blades of the drill 32. After the alignment, the shell 3 is sandwiched and held by the pair of holding plates 11a and 11b of the holder 11. Thereafter, the receiving tool 31a and the pressing tool 31b return to their original positions.

  After the alignment, the rotating body 30 rotates intermittently and the shell 3 held by the holder 11 is sent to the drilling station. When the shell 3 is fed into the drilling station, the two drilling drills 32 (FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (c)) move forward toward the shell 3, and the rotating drill blade pierces the hole P of the two shells 3. The hole 5 is simultaneously drilled in the hole P of the two shells 3. After completion of the drilling, the drilling drill 32 moves backward and returns to the original position. Thereafter, the shell 3 held by the holder 11 is sent to the next transfer station as the rotating body 30 rotates.

  A pin 2 is inserted into the vertical rope 1 in a separate process from the drilling operation. The pin setter 33 previously developed by the present inventors can be used for inserting the pin 2 into the vertical rope 1. The pin setter 33 pulls a pin (commonly called roll pin) wound in a roll while pulling the vertical rope 1, inserts a guide needle into the vertical rope 1 between them, and removes one pin 2 separated from the roll pin Set in the guide needle, push the pin 2 with a pusher and insert the guide needle into the hole of the vertical rope 1 to insert it into the vertical rope 1, while pulling in the vertical rope 1 and roll pin, Is inserted into the vertical rope 1 at regular intervals one by one.

  As described above, the vertical rope 1 in which the pins 2 are inserted at a predetermined interval is fed forward at the pin interval by the rope feeding mechanism 34 (FIG. 1). The pin 2 attached to the sent vertical rope 1 is supported by a receiver 61 (FIGS. 4C and 8) provided in the feed direction of the vertical rope 1 to prevent shaking. The rope feed mechanism 34 is composed of rolls 41 and 42 (FIG. 1) opposed to each other in the vertical direction, and is fed by the rotation of both rolls 41 and 42.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the vertical rope 1 is guided and fed between two plates (rope guides) 60 (FIG. 7) arranged in parallel (side by side). The pin 2 inserted into the rope 1 stops on the receiver 61 protruding forward of the two plates 60. As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8D, the pin 2 stopped on the receiver 61 is clamped and held by the fixed holder 65 and the movable holder 66 of the pin holder 35 shown in FIG. 4C. Is done. As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b), the fixed holder 65 has a laterally V-shaped recess 67 that can position the pin 2, and the movable holder 66 has a V-shaped recess 68 that is opposite to the recess 67. Is provided so that the pin 2 can be held between the recesses 67 and 68. The movable holder 66 can be rotated as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, for example, by pushing the air cylinder 55 (FIGS. 8A to 8D). The pin 2 is clamped and held as shown in FIG. 8C, and the pin holding portion 35 moves forward as shown in FIG. 8D and is sent to the transfer station.

  After that, the pin 2 and the two shells 3 sent to the transfer station are arranged so that the pin 2, the hole 5 of the shell 3 and the guide 10 located outside the shell 3 are aligned, and the state Then, the guide 10 is advanced by the insertion mechanism 36 such as an air cylinder and is inserted into the hole 5 of the shell 3 to penetrate the hole 5. The guide 10 and the pin 2 are connected in a straight line by placing the tip 10 a of the guide 10 penetrating through the hole 5 and protruding from the hole 5 on the tip 2 a of the pin 2. Next, the holder 11 is horizontally slid along the guide 10 by the horizontal slider 70 shown in FIGS. 9A and 10, and moved to the inside of the pin 7 of the pin 2, and is held by the holder 11. Transfer shell 3 to pin 2. Thereafter, the guide 10 is pulled back and pulled out from the tip 2a of the pin 2 as shown in FIG.

  After pulling out the guide 10 as described above, the holding of the shell 3 by the holder 11 is released. Thereafter, the vertical rope 1 is intermittently moved by the interval of the pins 2 and sent to the outside. With this feed, the next pin 2 of the vertical rope 1 is sent to the receiver 61.

  Hereinafter, the shell 3 is repeatedly attached to the pin 2 inserted in the vertical rope 1 by repeating the above operation.

  In the present invention, the pin 2 may be inserted into the vertical rope 1 separately, and the vertical rope 1 may be fed into the shell attachment device of the present invention.

  The work procedure of the present invention can be performed in an order other than the above.
