Automation of Longline -Automation of the Alaska Pollack Longline-

주낙어구의 자동화 -명태주낙어업의 자동화-

The Alaska pollack longline operations, which consist of baiting, shooting, hauling and arrangement of hooks, are dependant on manual labour up to the present. The automation against this traditional way is necessary to eliminate the manual operations and to reduce crew. We have developed a prototype longline system suitable for Alaska pollack longline gear, which is composed of an automatic baiting machine, an automatic line hauler, a hook cleaner and storage rails. The automatic bailing machine driven by hydraulic power is precise baiting method controlled sequentially, and the automatic line hauler is to haul up the mainline by means of hydraulic power and at the same time to split every hook and to carry it onto storage rail automatically. A series functioning tests on shooting and hauling apparatus were carried out in the laboratory and at sea. The results obtained are as follows ; 1. As for the baiting machine, the exciting time of solenoid which operates a directional valve, bait feeding and cutting time, is shortened according to the increase of pressure, and also, after cutting the bait, the over-rotated angle of the blade increased in accordance with the increase of pressure. 2. The baiting efficiency is about $90\%$ when using sand lance (Hypoptychus dybowskii), and the most proper pressure of the hydraulic circuit in feeding and cutting the bait is between $13\;kgf/cm^2\;and\;20\;kgf/cm^2$. 3. The hook splitting rate of the automatic line hauler is about $95.5\%$ regardless of hauling speed and materials of snood. 4. The case of unseparating hook is appeared when the snood gets entangled or the hook is sticked in the mainline.

명태주낙어업에서 전적으로 수동에 의존하고 있는 투승작업과 장승작업 및 낚시를 정리하는 작업을 자동기계화 시키기 위해서, 유압으로 구동되는 자동미끼는 장치와 자동양승기 및 미끼제거장치와 낚시정리대를 개발하여, 그 작동 성능을 실험실과 해상에서 실험하였고, 또한 자동투승기에서 유압장치 동작특성과 자동양승기의 낚시 분리성능을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 유압 회로의 압력이 높아질수록 미끼를 이송하고 절단하는데 걸리는 시간은 짧아졌으나, 미끼 절단 후 절단날이 정지할때까지 진행되는 각도는 커졌다. 2. 미끼의 이송과 절단에 적절한 유압회로의 압력은 $13\~20kgf/cm^2$이고, 미끼꿰는 효율은 염장한 양미리를 미끼로 했을해 $90\%$정도였다. 3. 자동양승기의 낚시 분리성능은 양승속도나 아릿줄의 재료에 따른 영향은 거의 없었고, 평균 $95.5\%$를 나타내었다. 4. 해상실험에서는 자동투승장치의 내진성이 문제되었으나, 자동양승장치는 실험실에서의 실험과 차이없이 양호하게 작동하였다.
