Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to automatically attach a branch line to the main line fed out from a main line thrower, thereby automating longline fishing and saving labor. It is something to do.

Conventional Technology The current setting work in the conventional tuna longline fishery is to manually attach branch lines and buoy attachment snaps to the main line that is fed out from a main line setting machine.

The reality is that it is extremely hard work to attach as many as 3,000 branch ropes these days.

Structure of the Invention The present invention is designed to automatically attach the branch line attachment snaps to save labor in longline casting work, and a branch line transfer conveyor and a branch line are installed on one side of the mainline casting machine. Snap transfer conveyors are installed in parallel to vertically convey the snaps to be attached, and a snap pick-up machine is installed at the rear of the snap transfer conveyor to open and hold the snaps and pick them up. The main gist of the present invention is to provide a main rope gripping device which clamps the main rope that is fed out by moving the main rope and attaches it to the snap held by the snap take-up machine.

To explain an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings, one side of a mainline lasing machine 1 installed at the stern of the ship that pays out a mainline A is a branch that sequentially conveys a coiled branchline B and a buoy C. A rope transfer conveyor 2 and a snap transfer conveyor 4 provided with a snap support part 3 are installed in parallel so as to rotate intermittently at the same time. The conveyor 4 is constructed so that it can be conveyed by standing up on the support part 3 with its introduction part D' facing to the right.

A snap pick-up machine 6 having a snap clamping arm 5 is installed on the side of the rear end of the snap transfer conveyor 4, and the snap clamping arm 5 is formed with a snap opening/closing cylinder 7 that can be opened and closed freely, and also has a vertical cylinder. When the snap transfer conveyor 4 is stopped, the snap holding arm 5 is opened and lowered by the operation of the vertical cylinder, and is transferred to the rear end of the snap transfer conveyor 4. Then, the snap opening/closing cylinder 7 operates and the snap clamping arm 5 clamps and presses the snap D to hold the introduction part D' in the open position, and then the vertical cylinder 8 operates to move the snap transfer conveyor. It is constructed so as to be lifted above 4.

A main rope gripping device 11 that reciprocates from side to side by a reciprocating cylinder 1o is installed behind the main rope lasing machine 1, and above the main rope gripping device 11 is installed a main rope grasping device 11 that is reciprocated from side to side by a reciprocating cylinder 1o. A clamping part 12 is provided which can clamp or release the main rope A, and the clamping part 12 has a forked receiving plate 13 and a cylinder 1.
The holding part 12 itself is formed of a forked clamping piece 15 that moves up and down with a cylinder 16 for vertical movement.

Therefore, the reciprocating cylinder 10 of the main rope gripping device 11
The operations of the cylinder 14 and the vertical cylinder 16 are controlled as follows.

When the main rope gripping device 11 is in the right position, the gripping part 12
is in an open state, and from this state the reciprocating cylinder 10 operates and moves to the left, and when the clamping part 1 and 2 come to the main line A payout position, the cylinder 14 operates and clamps the main line A. After lowering the piece 15 and pinching the main rope A between the clamping piece 15 and the receiving plate 13, the main rope A is moved further to the left side and the main rope A is held between the forked clamping pieces 15 by the snap clamping arm. At step 5, the snap D held at the lifting position is transferred to the upper part of the introduction part D'. Then, the vertical cylinder 16 operates to lower the clamping part 12 and engage the main rope A with the snap D, and then the cylinder 14 operates to move the clamping piece 15 upward to open the clamping part 12 and remove the trunk. Release the rope A, and then release the main rope gripping device 11.
is moved to the right by the reciprocating cylinder 10 and returned to the right position, and the clamping part 12 is returned to the raised position by the operation of the vertical cylinder 16. (See Figure 10)
As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the clamping part 12 has an opening/closing locking claw 17 that is pivotally supported on a receiving plate 13 and interlocks with the clamping piece 15 so that the opening/closing locking claw can be opened and closed when the main rope A is gripped. It is preferable to close 17 to prevent the main rope from falling off, and 18 in the figure
is a guide piece.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, the main rope A paid out from the main rope lasso machine is gripped by the gripping part 12 of the gripping device 11 that moves to the left at predetermined intervals. Introducing part D' of the snap D in an open state picked up from the snap transfer conveyor 4 by the snap holding arm 5 of the snap pick-up machine 6
, the clamping part 12 is lowered by the vertical cylinder 16 and inserted into the snap D, and then the opening/closing cylinder 7 is activated to release the holding action of the snap clamping arm 5 and the clamping part 12 is also inserted into the snap D. Clamping piece 15
Move up to release the main rope pinching effect and attach snap D to main rope A.
The main rope gripping device 11 is then moved back to the right position by the reciprocating cylinder 10, and then returned to the raised position by the up and down cylinder 16.
Alternatively, the main line A attached to the snap D of the buoy C is to be thrown into the sea.

In the above embodiment, the case where the main line introduction part D' of the snap D is located on the side of the main rope lasing machine 1, that is, on the right side, but when the main line introduction part D' of the snap D is located on the left side, teeth,
In the trunk rope gripping device 11, when the clamping part 12 clamps the trunk rope A as shown in FIG.
First, the vertical cylinder 16 rises to lift the clamping part 12 to the upper part of the introduction part D', and then the vertical cylinder 16 descends while the cylinder 10 returns the clamping part 12 to the right side. Then, engage the main rope A from the introduction part D' to the snap D, and blow it to release the clamping piece 1 with the cylinder 12.
Move 5 up to release main rope A, and then return to the right position.

It controls the operation of the reciprocating cylinder 14 and the vertical cylinder 16.

Effects of the Invention The present invention provides a snap take-up machine that grasps the main rope fed out from the main rope throwing machine with a reciprocating main rope gripping device, and picks it up while holding the snap of the snap transfer conveyor in an open state. The snap of the branch rope is moved to the clamping part of the rope and automatically engaged to attach the snap of the branch rope to the main rope. This eliminates the need for human effort to attach multiple branch ropes to the main rope, which was previously done manually. It has an excellent feature that it can be carried out continuously and automatically, and it can automate the rope setting work and save labor.
