Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic bundling processing device for cultured shellfish, which is used for culturing, for example, scallops.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, in the pretreatment work when cultivating scallops,
The shell bodies, which are inserted into a relatively thick main rope, are tied with thin strings made of synthetic resin material such as nylon used for fishing, and the main rope with many shell bodies tied in this way is connected to the bottom of the sea at the aquaculture site. The method of dripping is used.

Conventionally, the work of tying the shell body to the main rope was to first drill a thread insertion hole with a drill or the like in the proximal end of the shell body, insert the thread through this hole, and tie a knot at one end of the thread. After making a rope to prevent the shell from falling out, the other end of the string is tied to the main rope.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional tying process, the drilling of holes in the shell body, the insertion of the legs, the formation of knots in the legs, and the tying of the legs to the main rope are all done manually. The tying process requires a great deal of effort and time, which poses a major problem in streamlining the process.In addition, each shell body bound with tegs is suspended in the air at a distance from the main rope. Therefore, when the main rope beneath the sea surface is shaken by waves, etc., each shell body is likely to shake considerably, which may cause adjacent shell bodies to become entangled with each other, and may have a major impact on the growth of the shellfish. There was such a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to streamline the process of tying the shell body to the main rope using the strands, and to do so fully automatically. To provide an automatic bundling processing device for cultured shellfish, which is capable of bundling shell bodies in close contact with a main rope.

[Means for solving problems]

One aspect of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems.

A device in which a string is inserted through a main rope that is intermittently conveyed, and first and second shell bodies are sequentially supplied to both ends of the string and tied together, the device comprising: a shellfish chuck unit for positioning and holding the shell body of the first or second shell body on a table; A thread feeding unit that inserts the thread continuously supplied into the main rope and cuts it to a predetermined length, and a thread feeding unit that passes through the main rope and cuts both ends of the thread after cutting. a first and a second tegus supplying unit, each of which is inserted into a tegus insertion hole in the proximal end face of the first or second shell body held on the table by the shell chuck unit; The end of the tegus inserted into the tegus insertion hole in the proximal end face of the first or second shell body is grasped by the first or second tegus supply unit, and the knot is held by the tegus with the shell chuck unit in the open state. It is equipped with a string binding unit that is formed while being held down on the main rope side through a member.

The thread feeding unit is equipped with a means for heating and cooling the threads continuously supplied from the thread supply section via the feed rollers between the six feed rollers, and tensioning the threads by the thread binding unit. The tension of the main rope is maintained by suppressing the pull-up movement of the main rope associated with the formation of a knot in the first shell body with the tegus tension member, while the suppression action of the main rope by the tegus tension member is suppressed by the second shell body. The structure is such that the knot is opened as the knot is formed.
