Description

The invention relates to mariculture, specifically to the cultivation of laminaria in conditions of the sea, and is aimed at fixing its seedlings in artificial substrates.

The purpose of the invention is to reduce the labor intensity and speed up the process of seating. FIG. 1 shows the installation, general view; in fig. 2 - the same plan view; in fig. 3 - the same, side view; in fig. 4 - conical piston, made in the hole in the table; in fig. 5 - the same, introduced into the substrate; in fig. 6 - gripping mechanism; in fig. 7 - details of the gripping mechanism.

The installation comprises a table 1, which has a longitudinal guide 2 (Fig. 3) for placing an artificial substrate 3, continuous or in the form of individual leads made of a nylon rope, twisted from several strands.

Guide 2 has a series of holes 4 (Fig. 4) located at intervals of, for example, 5, 10, 15, 20 cm.

Above the table 1 is placed a device 5 for inserting laminaria seedlings 6 into the substrate 3. The device 5 is made in the form of a bed 7, to which a frame 8 is rigidly attached, equipped with a groove in which a row of conical pins 9 are inserted, which have the possibility of tight movement in it on the slide 10 (Fig. 4). The frame 8 has the possibility of vertical movement by means of a cylinder 11 with a piston 12 fixed on the base 7, which are connected to the tank 15 by a pipe 13 and 14 with a pump (not shown) filled with hydraulic mixture or compressed air.

Attached to the table 1 is a gripping mechanism made of semicircular jaws 16 and 17, which can be closed by means of a cylinder 18 with a piston 19, which are connected to the tank 15 by pipes 20 and 21 (Fig. 6).

The gripping mechanism has the possibility of shuttle movement along the length line of the guide groove 2 by means of a cylinder 22 with a piston 23 connected to the container 15 through pipes 24 and 25. On the side of table 1 opposite to the placement side of the gripping jaws 16 and 17, a drum 26 is installed substrate 3. To accommodate the laminaria seedlings, there is a tank 27 with sea water. A container 28, also filled with sea water, is provided for placing the substrate with the seedlings fixed in it. To control the operation of the seedling input device and the grip mechanism, there is a console 29 on the table 1, next to which an operator chair 30 is installed.

The installation works as follows.

Substrate 3 operator from the drum 26 lays on the table 1 in the guides and inserts

its end into the semicircular jaws 16 and 17 of the gripping mechanism. By pressing a button on the console 29, the operator turns on the pump in the tank 15, and the slurry or compressed air enters the cylinder 18 (Fig. 6). As a result

the piston 19 is working in compression and the substrate 3 is clamped by the jaws 16 and 17. Then the operator likewise switches on the device 5, the piston 12 is actuated and the frame 8 is lowered downwards. Lying on

In table 1, substrate 3 is punctured by pins 9, which are previously moved apart by a predetermined distance from each other in accordance with the distance between the holes 4 that respond to them. Pins 9 enter into holes 4 and frame 8 stops. At the same time, between the straight substrate 3, gaps are formed into which the operator inserts laminaria seedlings 6, removing it from the tank 27. After completing this operation, the operator pressing

the buttons on the remote control 29 lifts the frame 8 and the pins 9 come out of the substrate 3. As the substrate 3 pulls on the clips of the mechanism, it straightens close to it, clamping the seedlings 6.

Next, the operator actuates the piston 23 of the cylinder 22, the gripping mechanism with the substrate 3 clamped in it moves towards the container 28 (Fig. 1 and 2) and, when it reaches the extreme point, the operator actuates the piston 19 on the remote control 29 , with the result that the jaws 16 and 17 are unclenched and the released area of the substrate 3 is lowered into the container 28. The operator again leads to

the action of the piston 23 and the clamping mechanism returns to its original position, after which, by moving the piston 19 in the cylinder 18, the jaws 16 and 17 are closed, seizing the substrate

3 and drive it to the tensioned state. Further, the entire operation is repeated.
