[0013] The bait chute pipe 2 releases the bait P using an air jet. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, two identical circular tubes are housed in the machine frame 1. , both base end ports 20a, 20a are integrally communicated with each other to form a common air inlet 20, Both tip openings 21a, 21a are tilted upward to form air bait openings 21, 21. At the same time, both air feeding ports 21, 21 side are viewed from the air inlet 20 side. It is fixed in a horizontally open position at a predetermined angle. In FIG. 5, 23 is a blower; 24 is a duct that communicates the blower with the air inlet 20.

[0014] The supply hopper 3 communicates with the bait chute pipe 2 and introduces the bait P into the pipe. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, two sets are incorporated in the machine frame 1, and the The lower part forms a constriction part 30 in the pipe line 22 of both bait chute pipes 2, 2, respectively. Both bait chute tubes 2, 2 are protruded into the interior thereof. In addition, both supply hoppers 3 , 3 each have an opening on the top surface to form an input port 31, and an opening on the bottom surface. An inlet 32 is formed between the input ports 31, 31 and the inlets 32, 32. are the hopper front wall 33, the right hopper wall 34, and the left hopper wall 35, respectively. , a hopper rear wall 36, and each hopper wall slopes downward inwardly. ing.

[0015] In addition, among the hopper walls, auxiliary air blowers are provided on both hopper rear walls 36, 36, respectively. A port 37 is formed, and part of the air from the air inlet 20 side is diverted to these two hoppers. The openings are oriented such that the air blows out downward along the inner surfaces of the rear walls 36, 36. In this case, both hopper rear walls 36, 36 are respectively a lower plate 36a and an upper plate 36. b, and the upper end of the lower plate 36a and the lower part of the upper plate 36b are connected to each other. By arranging them to face each other with a slit-shaped gap between them, both auxiliary blowers can Outlets 37, 37 are formed.

[0016] The feeding adjustment attachment 4 distributes the feed P to both supply hoppers 3, 3. As shown in FIG. The side plate part 40 is removably fitted in a state where the lower side is in the middle of the front and rear surfaces of the side plate part 40. It is formed with an adjusting plate 42 that is pivoted at a lower part of the center. In the diagram, 43 is for input When the adjusting plate 42 is set vertically with holes, the openings on both hoppers 3 and 3 are equally divided. If you tilt it to one side, the top surface of the hopper 3 on the tilted side will be closed, and the other hopper will close. The upper surface of Pa 3 will open up. In addition, 44 in the figure is centered around the shaft support 41 of the adjustment plate 42. A setting hole 45 formed in an arc shape in the side plate portion 40 is fixed to the adjustment plate 42. Adjustment plate 42 is set in place by tightening the male screw slidably protruding from setting hole 44. It is a wing nut that locks it in place.

[0017] The extension pipe 5 transfers the bait P released from the air bait ports 21, 21 to the fish pens F, F. As shown in FIG. 5, the tip has a curved portion 5. 0, and the straight portion 51 at the rear end is fitted with a tightening bar to the air bait openings 21, 21, respectively. It is removably fixed by a hand 52.

[0018] Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained. As shown in FIG. 5, the air bait casting machine A of this embodiment is equipped with from this adjacent point to the left and right fish pens F and F at the same time. become. When casting bait, fix the adjustment plate 42 in a vertical position and extend it. The tubes 5 are fixed so that the curved portions 50 of the tubes 5 face predetermined positions of the fish cages F, F, respectively. Then, the blower 23 connected to the air inlet 20 of the bait chute pipe 2 forces the While blowing air, feed the feed P (e.g. pellet feed) onto the adjustment attachment 4. Insert from the side. At this time, the feed P falls separately on both sides of the adjusting plate 42, and both sides It is evenly fed into the feed hoppers 3, 3.

[0019] The air forced into the air inlet 20 is divided into two directions within the machine frame 1. and flows into both bait chute tubes 2, 2, respectively. And the throttle part 3 in both pipes Due to the negative pressure generated at 0 and 30, an equal amount of feed P is fed from each supply hopper 3 and 3. Suction. In addition, some of the air separated in both pipes is released from both auxiliary outlets 37, 37. It blows out downward along the inside of the hopper rear walls 36, 36 and removes the feed P on the hopper wall. The bait is forcibly fed into the constricted portions 30, 30 in both bait chute tubes. The aperture inside these two tubes In the section, the sucked and fed bait P is sent to the air jets in both pipes 22, 22. The bait is loaded and released from both extension tubes 5, 5 through both air feeding ports 21, 21, respectively. Bait is cast at a predetermined position within the fish pens F, F with the curved portions 50, 50 facing.

[0020] In addition, if you want to throw more bait into one fish tank F, tilt the adjustment plate 42 to the other side. , since the upper part of the feed hopper 3 on one side is more open, the input amount of feed P is the same as that on the other side. Since the amount is larger than that of the hopper, the amount of bait thrown on one side increases. Also, concentrate only on one fish tank. If you want to cast bait, rotate one side of the extension tube 5 so that the curved parts 50, 50 are in the same direction. This can be done by pointing towards.

[0021] As explained above, in the air bait casting machine A of this embodiment, the supply hoppers 3, 3 are Two sets of bait chute tubes 2 and 2 were installed in one machine frame 1, so the two fish pens were placed at the same time. You can sometimes feed. Also, the supply hoppers 3 and 3 are gathered in one place. Therefore, it can be done by one worker. In addition, each supply hopper is independent. This allows you to adjust the amount of bait thrown on the left and right sides.

[0022] In addition, it is equipped with a feeding adjustment attachment, making it extremely easy to adjust the amount of bait thrown on the left and right sides. can be done. In addition, since the curved portion 50 is provided at the tip of the extension tube 5, the air The direction of bait casting can be easily changed without having to move the bait throwing machine each time. Also Since the air inlet 20 is shared, only one blower is required, and only one connection is required. Both bait chute pipes 2, 2 can be connected at the same time.

[0023] Above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail based on the drawings, but the specific structure of the present invention has been explained in detail. The construction is not limited to this example, and may be designed within a range that does not depart from the gist of the invention. Even if there are changes, they are included in this invention. For example, in the embodiment, two sets of bait chute pipes 2 and supply hoppers 3 are provided. However, the number of bait chute pipes and supply hoppers installed can be set arbitrarily. I can do that.
