Hereinafter, a circulation type fish transfer system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail, focusing on the respective components.

The circulation rail 120a is installed along a predetermined trajectory above the tank 110 for accommodating fish. According to the drawing, the track of the circulation rail 120a is installed in a form of circulating one round along the circumference of the water tank 110, but this is a preferred example and can be installed in any number of different forms. The circulation rail (120a) is supported by a plurality of posts (120b), such a post (120b) is preferably installed outside the water tank (110) in consideration of problems such as corrosion, for this purpose, the post (120b) is It has a shape bent in an a-shaped shape to support the circulation rail 120a located upward from the inside of the tank 110. The circulation rail 120a is provided with a moving body that moves along a track. Such a moving body may be a chain moving along the circulation rail 120a or a chain complex moving body, or may be a moving body of an LM guide, and any one of various known moving body technologies may be appropriately selected and applied.

The transfer bucket 130 is connected to the moving body of the circulation rail 120a by a rope 134 and serves to transfer fish while moving along the circulation rail 120a in the water tank 110. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the transfer bucket 130 has a container shape with an open top so that an operator can conveniently hold fish, and a bucket body 131 formed of a mesh material through which water passes, and the bucket body 131 It is installed in the center of the bucket body 131 consists of a first float 132 that provides buoyancy so that it can float without being completely submerged in water.

Here, the bucket body 131 is formed in a flat hemispherical shape, and the circumferential portion is formed as a vertical wall surface to prevent separation of fish. However, the shape of the bucket body 131 may be formed in other shapes such as rounded corners and squares in addition to the preferred shape of the drawing, and the shape of the bucket body 131 is considered together with the shape of the discharge member 130 to be described later. do. In addition, the first float 132 is formed in a spherical body, and is located at a point spaced upward from the bottom surface of the central portion of the bucket body 131 by the lower support body 132a. The lower support 132a may be provided as a hollow member with an empty inside to form buoyancy together with the first float 132 or may be provided as a solid member. In this way, the first float 132 having buoyancy is supported by the lower support 132a and positioned at the top or higher point of the bucket body 131 when the transfer bucket 130 is floating in water. It is desirable to keep the balance. Here, the connection point of the rope 134 to the transfer bucket 130 may be the bucket body 131 or the first float 132 located in the center. In the case of the first float 132, since the first float 132 is located at the highest central part of the entire transport bucket 130, it can be said that it is a preferred point for the rope 134 to be connected when choosing a time when moving along the discharge member 130.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a modified transfer bucket 130 may be further provided on the outer circumferential surface of the bucket body 131 along the circumferential direction with a ring-shaped second float 133. The second float 133 is installed at a lower point than the first float 132 to reduce the possibility of overturning the transfer bucket 130. In the case of the modified transfer bucket 130 additionally provided with a second float 133 in addition to the first float 132, it helps to form a greater buoyancy against water, and prevents the transfer bucket 130 from overturning. It greatly contributes to maintaining a stable balance.

The discharge member 130 is a member responsible for discharging the fish contained in the moving transfer bucket 130. The discharge member 130 is installed in a partial section inside the water tank 110, and a half corresponding to the shape of the transfer bucket 130 is loaded to guide the movement by loading the transfer bucket 130 in a partial section inside the water tank 110. It is equipped with a tubular body. However, a more detailed shape of the discharge member 130 should be formed so as to respond appropriately in consideration of the shape of the transfer bucket 130.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 5 and 6, the discharge member 130 includes an entry part 140a into which a bucket moving in a state floating in water from the bottom of the water tank 110 enters, and the entry part 140a.

A horizontal connection part 140c and a twisting part 140d connected to the rear end of the horizontal connection part 140c and formed in a progressively warped shape to gradually incline the transfer bucket 130.

Here, the twisting portion 140d of the twisting portion 140d is such that the transfer bucket 130 moving along the discharge member 140 can be tilted at an angle of about 90 degrees, as can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6. It is formed in a warped shape. This makes it possible to discharge the fish contained in the transfer bucket 130 naturally without using a separate power. In the twisting portion (140d), as shown in FIG. 6, the bottom plate 141 is formed in a concave curved surface to correspond to the lower portion of the bucket body 131 of the transfer bucket 130, and at both ends of the bottom plate 141 A bent wall 142 is formed, and a separation prevention piece 142a bent in an a-shape perpendicularly along the end line thereof is further formed on the wall 142 so that the transfer bucket 130 is not separated laterally. Avoid.

On the other hand, the entry portion 140a of the discharge member 130 also includes a bottom plate 141 and a wall 142 formed by bending at both ends thereof, like other parts. However, the bottom plate 141 at the entry portion 140a is formed in a flat surface rather than a concave curved surface, and gradually descends from the rear end connected to the rising connection 140b toward the front end to reach the bottom surface of the water tank 110. The left and right widths are also gradually enlarged toward the rear end. According to the configuration of the entry part 140a, even if a relatively large quantity of fish is contained in the transfer bucket 130 so that the lower end of the transfer bucket 130 reaches the bottom surface of the tank 110, the transfer bucket 130 is smoothly Entry becomes possible. In the case of the entrance wall 142 of the genitals, the upper and lower widths are enlarged as it goes toward the means, so that the upper position of the entrance wall 142 is maintained as it is even if the bottom plate 141 is gradually submerged in the water as it goes toward the front end. desirable.

A plurality of spray nozzles 144 for supplying water into the rising connecting portion 140b along the end lines of both walls are installed in the rising connecting portion 140b. Thus, even if water escapes from the transfer bucket 130 rising along the rising connecting portion 140b, water is always supplied to the inside of the rising connecting portion 140b by the spray nozzle 144, so the fish contained in the transfer bucket 130 The body is not stressed by the drooling.

The guide member 160 is a member that guides the fish discharged from the transfer bucket 130 in the twisting portion 140d of the discharge member 130 to be carried into the automatic sorter 150. The guide member 160 is a guide plate 161 connecting the twisting portion 140d of the discharge member 130 and the automatic sorting machine 150 and a guide erected by bending orthogonally along both ends of the guide plate 161 It consists of side walls 162. In the case of the guide plate 161, it is installed inclined downward from the twisting portion 140d of the discharge member 130 to the automatic sorting machine 150 so that the discharged fish can slide and move without using power. As the member 130 moves toward the twisting portion 140d, the left and right widths are wider so that the fish discharged from the transfer bucket 130 can be stably mounted on the guide plate 161 without deviating to other places.

The automatic sorting machine 150 is installed adjacent to the outside of the water tank 110 and performs a function of classifying fish carried in through the guide member 160 by size. The automatic sorting machine 150 is a state in which fish classified according to size by a carry-in part 150a, a sorting part 150b for sorting fish, and a sorting part 150b in the order in which fish are transported It consists of a classification unit (150c) to be temporarily accommodated.

The carrying part 150a of the automatic sorting machine 150 has a height lower than the twisting part 140d of the discharging member 130 so that the fish discharged from the discharging member 130 can be received through the non-powered guide member 160. It is formed and the inner surface of the circumferential portion is formed as a downwardly inclined surface 151 that decreases toward the inside so that the fish to be brought can be collected to the central portion. A conveyor 152 for transporting fish is installed from the center of the carrying part 150a to the sorting part 150b.
