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 that will become young shells are tied to a relatively thick main rope 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 sea surface of the cultivation site. A method of hanging it downwards 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.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned conventional binding process requires drilling holes in the shell body and inserting a barb.

Forming knots on the ropes and tying the ropes to the main rope are all done by hand, which requires a great deal of labor and time for the tying process, which is a major problem in streamlining the process. , each shell body bound with tegus is suspended in the air at a distance from the main rope, so when the main rope beneath the sea surface shakes due to waves, etc., each shell body also shakes greatly. There were problems in that it was easy to move, and adjacent shell bodies became entangled with each other, which could have a major impact on the growth of the shellfish.

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 capable of bundling shell bodies in vE contact with a main rope.

[Means for solving problems]

I mentioned above! In order to solve the problem, the present invention provides a main rope that is intermittently conveyed with a tegus, and sequentially supplies the first and second shell bodies to both ends of the tegus and ties them together. This device includes a shell chuck unit for positioning and holding the first or second shell body on a table, and a proximal end surface of the first or second shell body held by the shell chuck unit, and a prong inserted therein. A hole-drilling unit for drilling a hole, 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 cuts the thread into the main rope with the thread feeding unit. The first and second shells are inserted into the proximal end face of the first or second shell body held on the table by the shell chuck unit by grasping both ends of the cut threads that have been inserted through the shells, respectively. A second tegus supply unit, and the first or second tegus supply unit grips the end of the tegus inserted into the tegus insertion hole in the proximal end surface of the first or second shell body, and the shell chuck is gripped. It is equipped with a thread binding unit that forms a knot while suppressing the knot on the main rope through a thread suppressing member when the unit is open, and the thread feeding unit ( ) continuously supplies the thread from the thread supplying section via the feed roller. The present invention is equipped with a means for heating and cooling the threads to be tensioned between each of the six feed rollers, and a means for pulling up the main rope associated with the formation of a knot on the first shell body by the thread binding unit. This structure is such that the tegus is kept under tension by being suppressed by the tegus tensioning member, and the pressing action of the tegus tensioning member on the main rope is released as the knot is tied to the second shell body.

[For production]

In other words, one aspect of the present invention has the above configuration.
Since the shell body (1) placed on the table (11) is reliably positioned and held by the shell chuck units (2G), it is difficult to make a hole in the proximal end surface (1a) of the shell body (1). The drilling of the thread insertion hole (2) by the unit (30) can be performed with high precision.

It becomes easy to insert the thread (0) fed through the thread feeding unit (40) and the thread feeding unit (70). pair (54) (5
5) (56) Since the heating device (84) and the cooling device (B5) are arranged between It can be fed to the side, and when feeding to the tegus supply unit (70), or when inserted into the tegus ink passage hole (2) of the shell body (or the tegus binding unit (
It is possible to prevent operational errors due to bending of the thread (0) when gripping the handle (100).

Furthermore, the knots (5) and (8) to the thread (4) can be formed conveniently using the thread binding unit (100), and the shell body (1) can be tied to the main rope (3). Since the shells can be tied tightly together as a pair, the shell body (1) can be tied to the main rope (3) in a stable manner.
