Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scallop ear-hanging machine, and more particularly to a scallop ear-hanging machine which is preferably used for preventing and fixing larvae of scallops on a culture rope. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various kinds of scallop shell ear suspension machines have been proposed. For example, in the scallop ear-hanging machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-123326,
Position the scallop juvenile in a vertical position so that its ears are on the lower side, place a culture rope on the side of this ears, and cultivate it with the ears with a horizontally arranged drill. A continuous through hole is coaxially formed with the rope,
After that, a thread is inserted into these through holes, and the thread is retained in the aquaculture rope to suspend the scallops from the aquaculture rope.

[0003]

By the way, in the above-mentioned scallop ear-hanging machine, a cylindrical drill bearing for preventing whirling of the drill is used, and the drill penetrates this drill bearing to make a radius. Through holes are formed in the aquaculture rope and the scallop while being supported so as not to be displaced in the direction. Then, the drill bearing is displaced along with the drill in the axial direction so as to come in contact with and separate from the culture rope and the scallop, but when approaching the culture rope and the scallop, the jig that supports the scallop juvenile Abutting against the aquaculture rope and the scallop from further access.

On the other hand, since the body portion of the scallop juvenile is supported so that it is sandwiched between the jigs, the penetration of the aquaculture rope is caused by the vibration when the drill makes a through hole in the aquaculture rope and the scallop. There is a case where the hole and the through hole of the juvenile shell are misaligned, and insertion of the thread for hanging the ear into the through hole formed in the aquaculture rope and the juvenile shell fails. When the thread for hanging the ear fails to be inserted, the operation of the ear lifting machine must be stopped and the thread for hanging the ear must be manually inserted into the through hole formed in the aquaculture rope and the juvenile. However, there is a problem that the work efficiency is greatly reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a through-hole formed in a culture rope and a scallop juvenile before inserting a thread for hanging an ear. It is to provide a scallop ear-hanging machine that does not become misaligned.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, a scallop ear-hanging machine of the present invention is a scallop that locks a linear locking member, which is passed through the ears of a scallop, to a culture rope. A shell ear suspension machine having a drill for forming a through hole in the scallop and the aquaculture rope, and a drilling mechanism for externally fitting the drill and supporting the drill so as not to be displaced in the radial direction. And a linear locking member passing mechanism for inserting the linear locking member into the through hole,
And before the drill starts the drilling of the through hole, the drill guide is configured to abut the ear of the scallop and press the ear to the aquaculture rope,
After the linear locking member threading mechanism inserts the linear locking member into the through hole, the drill guide is separated from the ear. In addition,
With respect to the aquaculture rope extending in the front-rear direction, the first scallop placed on either the left or right side is placed horizontally, and the ear of the first scallop is placed above the aquaculture rope. The second scallop placed on the other side of the left or right side is placed horizontally, and the ear of the second scallop is located below the aquaculture rope. It is preferable that the drill guide is configured to be brought into contact with one of the ears of the first scallop and the second scallop in a facing state.

[0007]

In the scallop ear suspension of the present invention, the linear locking member threading mechanism has the linear locking member before the drill starts drilling the through holes in the scallop ears and the culture rope. Since the scallop ears are pressed against the aquaculture rope by the drill guide until the insertion of the scallops into the through holes, the piercing holes in the scallop ears and the through holes in the aquaculture rope are the cores. The linear locking member threading mechanism can surely insert the linear locking member into the through hole without shifting. Also, since the drill guide is directly contacted with the scallop ear, the drill guide supports the tip of the drill even during contact, so there is almost no deflection or deflection of the drill during drilling. . The first and second scallops are distributed to the left and right of the aquaculture rope, and these scallops are placed in a stable horizontal position. In the case of adopting a configuration in which the scallops are pressed against one of the first and second scallop ears, the two scallop shells do not touch each other. In this state, the punching operation and the threading of the linear locking member can be performed.

With the intermittent movement of the transport conveyor 12, it is sequentially opposed to the punching mechanism 4, the linear locking member passing mechanism 5, or the linear locking member cutting mechanism 6 and is stopped at that position.

Then, while the movement of the transport conveyor 12 is stopped, the punching mechanism 4, the linear locking member passing mechanism 5, the cutting mechanism 6, and the linear locking member crushing mechanism 7 are operated. To be

Each of these individual operations will be described in detail below. The piercing mechanism 4 includes a scallop A and a culture rope P.
As shown in FIG. 13, while the transport conveyor 12 in which is positioned is transported, it is positioned at the highest position by the action of the cam 28, and the upper and lower linear locking member crushing mechanisms 7 are The pressing claw 56 is held in an open state.

As a result, the cam 28 is operated, the drill guide 20 and the drill 19 of the drilling mechanism 4 start descending, and the drill 19 is driven to rotate by the electric motor 21.

Then, the drill guide 20 contacts the upper surface of the ear of the scallop A on the upper side where the guide tube 30 at the tip thereof is positioned below, and presses the ear of the scallop against the aquaculture rope P. (See FIG. 16), the drill 19
The compression spring 3 of the first differential mechanism 32 provided between the drill guide stay 31 and the motor stay 24.
When 6 is compressed, it moves relative to the drill guide 20 and is further lowered.

As a result, the drill 19 penetrates the guide tube 30 and then sequentially processes the upper scallop A, the aquaculture rope P, and the lower scallop A located below the guide tube 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, continuous through holes are formed in these.

When the boring operation is completed in this way, the cutting mechanism 6 and the linear locking member threading mechanism 5 located below the link plate 11 are raised by the cam 63, and as shown in FIG. In addition, the through hole 47a formed in the lid 47 of the cutting mechanism 6 is provided with the scallop A
And the third differential mechanism 8 while being positioned coaxially and close to the through hole formed in the aquaculture rope P.
The contact plate 81 forming 0 is brought into contact with the cam follower 26 of the punching mechanism 4.

Here, the rising of the cutting mechanism 6 is stopped by being brought into contact with the stopper 76 which constitutes the second differential mechanism 70. Following this, the linear locking member threading mechanism is continued. 5, the guide pipe 41 is inserted into the guide hole 45b of the cutter 45 by a predetermined length from below, as shown in FIG.

By this operation, the linear locking member S remaining in the cutter 45 is pushed upward, and as shown in FIG. 18, the linear locking member S is moved to both scallops. It penetrates A and the culture rope P and is made to project above it.

When the linear locking member S is inserted, the third differential mechanism 80 causes the linear locking member passing mechanism 5 and the punching mechanism 4 to move integrally. , The tip of the linear locking member S is brought close to the tip of the drill 19 at the lowest position, and the drill 19 and the linear locking member S are raised at the same time while keeping the relative distance thus approached. To be made.

By such an operation, while the drill guide 20 presses and fixes the ears of the scallop A to the aquaculture rope P, the drill 19 is replaced with the drill 19 as it comes out. The linear locking member S is inserted, and until the linear locking member S is completely inserted, the scallops A and the aquaculture rope P are prevented from being displaced in position by the drill 19 to ensure reliable insertion. Be seen.

When the linear locking member S is projected above the upper scallop A as described above, first the cam 28
Then, the drilling mechanism 4 is moved to the highest position, the drill guide 20 is separated from the ear of the scallop A, and then the upper linear locking member crushing mechanism 7 is operated,
The tip of the projected linear locking member S is gripped by the pressing claw 56, and the tip of the linear locking member S is moved by the operation of the linear locking member crushing mechanism 7 located further above.
It is squeezed into a flat shape as shown by the broken line in FIG.

Then, as shown in FIG. 19, the linear locking member threading mechanism 5 is lowered.

As the linear locking member passing mechanism 5 descends, the tip of the linear locking member S is gripped by the upper linear locking member crushing mechanism 7,
The linear locking member threading mechanism 5 is pulled out from the guide pipe 41 by the descending amount.

After that, the cutting mechanism 6 and the linear locking member threading mechanism 5 are lowered by a slight amount in synchronization with each other, and then the cutter 45 is moved by the swinging means 46 as shown by an arrow in FIG. When the linear locking member S is rotated, the cutter 45 and the lid body 4 of the head casing 44 are rotated.
7 is sharply cut at the inclined contact surface.

By further lowering the linear locking member threading mechanism 5 by a slight amount, the second differential mechanism 70 is moved.
As a result, the cutting mechanism 6 is lowered to the lowermost position together with the linear locking member threading mechanism 5, and as shown in FIG. 20, the linear shape penetrated by both scallops A and the culture rope P. The lower end of the locking member S has the cutting mechanism 6
It is exposed from.

Then, by operating the lower linear locking member crushing mechanism 7, the lower end of the linear locking member S is squeezed and deformed into a flat shape as shown by the broken line in FIG. ..

As a result, both ends of the linear locking member S are pressed and deformed into a flat shape, and the scallops A are prevented from being separated from the linear locking member S. As a result, both scallops are A is fixed to the culture rope P.

After that, the holding of the linear locking member S by the upper and lower linear locking member crushing mechanisms 7 is released, and
When the transport mechanism 3 is operated by one pitch, the link plate 11 at the latter stage is sent between the perforating mechanism 4 and the cutting mechanism 6 and positioned, and the scallop A is sequentially fixed to the aquaculture rope P by the same action. To be done.

On the other hand, the link plate 1 on which the scallop A, which has been fixed to the aquaculture rope P as described above, is placed.
1 and a presser lever 13 for pressing the scallops A
Is detached from the guide plates 17 and 18. The link plate 11 is wound around the pulley 9 in the forward direction in the transport direction as shown in FIG. 4, and the holding lever 13 is Since the upward rotation is free, the brush 14 is slightly rotated upward by the elastic force of the brush 14 which has been elastically deformed in the initial stage of the winding into the pulley 9, and the link plate 11 is rotated. Is further rolled into the pulley 9, the holding lever 13 rotates in a direction away from the link plate 11 by its own weight.

As a result, the grip of the scallop A by the link plate 11 and the pressing lever 13 is naturally released, and the scallop A and the culture rope P are conveyed.
Smoothly separated from.

According to the scallop ear suspension of the present embodiment thus configured, the drill guide 20 presses and fixes the scallop A ears against the aquaculture rope P.
Since the linear locking member S is guided in the through hole formed in the scallop A or the aquaculture rope P in the vicinity of the tip of the drill 19 that has finished the drilling work, the linear locking member S is completely The through holes formed in the scallop A and the culture rope P are positioned without being misaligned until they are inserted, and as a result, the linear locking member S can be reliably inserted.

The shapes, sizes, etc. of the constituent members shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and can be variously changed based on design requirements and the like.

[0097]

According to the scallop ear suspension of the present invention,
From the time the scallop ears start drilling the through holes in the scallop ears and the aquaculture rope until the linear locking member threading mechanism finishes inserting the linear locking members into the through holes. Since it is pressed and fixed to the aquaculture rope by the drill guide, the through holes formed in the scallop ears and the through holes formed in the aquaculture rope are positioned without misalignment, and The linear locking member passing mechanism reliably inserts the linear locking member into the through hole. As a result, every time the insertion of the linear locking member into the scallop's ear and the through hole formed in the culture rope fails, the operation of the scallop ear suspension is stopped and the linear locking member is manually operated. It is possible to eliminate an inefficient work such as inserting the scallop into the ear and the culture rope by the work, and thus it is possible to significantly improve the efficiency of the ear-hanging work of the scallop. In addition, since the drill guide is directly contacted with the scallop's ear, the drill guide supports the tip of the drill even during contact, so there is almost no deflection or bending of the drill during drilling. It is possible to accurately form a small through hole.
