Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is an improvement of a cast line interval indicator that uses a signal sound to indicate the interval between branch lines attached to the main line let out from a tuna boat in the tuna longline fishing method. Regarding.

[Conventional technology and problems]

In the above-mentioned tuna longline fishing method, when the main line is let out into the sea from the throw line machine installed on the tuna boat, branch lines and floating balls are attached to the main line.
These branch ropes and floating balls are thrown into the sea.

By the way, the spacing between floating balls attached to the main line is almost fixed, but the number and spacing of branch lines attached between a pair of adjacent floating balls vary depending on conditions such as the fishing ground, weather, and current. In other words, when tuna are on a shallow shelf, the number of branch lines attached to the main line between a pair of floats can be reduced to prevent the main line from sinking too much. When hanging on a deep shelf, the number of branch ropes attached to the main rope between a pair of floating balls may be increased so that the main rope in the center between the floating balls sinks deeper.

On the other hand, if the spacing between the branch lines is too narrow, two adjacent branch lines may get tangled due to the weather, and if the spacing is too wide, multiple schools of tuna may be caught due to the direction of the current. Since there is a risk of not being able to find bait, it is necessary to take into account conditions such as the fishing ground, weather, and currents when selecting a bait.

For this reason, conventionally, when letting out the main line from a lasso machine, a lasso spacing indicator used a signal sound to tell the position of the branch lines and floats that should be attached to the main line, and when this signal sound was heard, work could be done. The staff used to attach branch ropes or floats to the main rope.

By the way, in the conventional throwing rope interval indicator,
Because it was necessary to input the casting line pattern, such as the spacing between branch lines and floats, depending on the fishing ground, weather, and tidal current at the time of casting, this input work was time-consuming. The problem was that it was unable to respond to sudden changes in the situation.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention overcomes the above-mentioned problems with the conventional ones, and provides a throwing rope interval indicator that eliminates the need to input a throwing rope pattern each time a rope is thrown, and that can respond to sudden changes in weather and tidal currents. With the goal.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention includes an input device for inputting a throwing rope pattern, a calling device for selectively calling one of a plurality of registered throwing rope patterns, and a device connected to these input devices and calling device. a computing device; a storage device connected to the computing device for storing a plurality of throwing rope patterns; and a signal connected to the computing device and generating a signal tone based on the throwing rope pattern called out by the calling device. It is equipped with a sound generating device that stores multiple throwing rope patterns in advance, and calls out the throwing rope pattern that corresponds to the fishing ground, weather, current, and other conditions at the time of casting, and attaches branch lines and floating balls to the main line. It is designed so that it can be worn.

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows the internal configuration of the rope spacing indicator of the present invention. have. An input device 2 for inputting a lasso pattern is electrically connected to this arithmetic device 1. This input device 2 includes a registration button 4, a selector 5, an operation button 6, and a display section 7 provided on the operation panel 3 shown in FIG. Of these, the registration button 4 is a button to be pressed first when registering a new throwing rope pattern, and the selector 5 is a dial for selecting a registration number for registration and calling. Further, the operation button 6 is a button for inputting a numerical value of a specific interval of the lasso pattern, etc., and the display section 7 is for confirming the numerical value input using the operation button 6. In addition,
If a computer display is used as the display section 7 and a diagram of the main rope, branch rope, floating ball, etc. is displayed, confirmation is easy.

Returning to FIG. 1, the arithmetic device 1 is electrically connected to a calling device 8 for calling out a casting line pattern corresponding to the fishing ground, weather, current, and other conditions at the time of casting. This calling device 8 has a selector 5 common to the input device 2, as an example. The arithmetic device 1 also includes a storage device 9 for storing each input rope pattern, and a signal generator for generating a signal sound based on the rope pattern called by the calling device 8. 10 are electrically connected to each other. This signal sound generating device 10 is connected to a speaker 11 also shown in FIG. 2, and a signal sound is emitted from this speaker 11.

The operation panel 3 also shows the distance between a pair of adjacent floating balls attached to the main rope (referred to as one floating ball, 300 to 500 floating balls are thrown in in one casting operation) from the tip. A counter 12 is attached to display the number of sheets. Further, various other electrical parts such as a power switch and a reset switch are attached to the operation panel 3, but since these have no direct relation to the present invention, their explanations will be omitted.

FIG. 3 shows an outline of the actual roping work from the tuna boat 13. A lasso machine 14 is installed at the tail of the tuna boat 13.
From there, the main rope 15 is let out continuously. Then, the worker attaches the branch ropes 16, 16... and the floating ball 1 to the main rope 15 that is being let out.
A signal sound is emitted from the speaker 11 of the rope spacing indicator 18 to notify the user of the position where the ropes 7, 17, etc. are to be attached.

By the way, a pair of floats 1 attached to the main rope 15
The spacing between 7 and 17 is almost fixed as mentioned above, but the distance between branch ropes 1 attached to one main rope 15 is
The numbers and intervals of 6, 16... are based on the aforementioned fishing grounds,
Varies depending on conditions such as weather and currents. As an example, what is shown in FIG.
(referred to as a book), but the same seven branch ropes 16,1
6. Even when one main rope 15 is attached, the interval between them needs to be changed depending on conditions such as tidal currents.
Therefore, assuming that the number of ropes is 7, the intervals A and H are 100 m each, the intervals B and G are 80 m each, the intervals C,
The rope pattern is set in such a way that F is set to 50 m each, intervals D and E are set to 30 m each, and the number of ropes is set to 7, intervals A and H are each 90 m, intervals B and G are each 70 m, and intervals C and F. each
60m, and distances D and E are set to 50m each as a casting line pattern, and by registering various numbers of ropes and intervals with the input device 2 in advance, fishing grounds, weather, tides, etc. The calling device 8 can easily call up a throwing rope pattern corresponding to the state.

Next, the specific operation of the above-described embodiment will be explained.

First, in order to register a throwing rope pattern such as the one described above, first press the registration button 4 on the operation panel 3 in Fig. 2, rotate the selector 5 to select the registration number, and select the registration number. Operation button 6 on top
is pressed to enter the spacing between the branch ropes 16 and the like while checking the display section 7 visually. In this way, dozens of different throwing rope patterns are registered in advance in the throwing rope interval indicator 18.

When arriving at a fishing ground, the optimum casting pattern is determined taking into consideration the conditions of the fishing ground, weather, currents, etc., and when the mainline 15 is let out by the casting machine 14, the selector 5 is set to the optimum casting pattern. Match it with the registration number of the rope pattern. Then, when the main rope 15 is let out by the towing machine 14, a signal sound is emitted from the speaker 11 at each registered interval, so when the signal sound from the speaker 11 is heard, the main rope 15
A branch rope 16 or floating ball 17 may be attached to the rope.
Note that when attaching the floating ball 17, a signal sound with a different tone from that when attaching the branch line 16 is emitted. Furthermore, if the weather at the fishing ground suddenly changes during the roping operation using the roping machine 14, the selector 5 can be rotated to change the roping pattern.
