Description

La présente invention a pour objet une boite d'expédition d'une bobine de câble permettant le dévidage total ou partiel du câble alors que la bobine est à l'intérieur de la boite. L'invention a aussi pour objet un procédé d'expédition et de dévidage total ou partiel d'un câble enroulé sur une bobine.The present invention relates to a shipping box of a cable reel for total or partial wire feed cable while the coil is inside the box. The invention also relates to a method of shipping and total or partial wire feed of a cable wound on a reel.

Pour leur transport, les bobines de câble sont habituellement placées chacune à l'intérieur d'une enceinte de façon à les protéger des coups éventuels et des intempéries. Les bobines comportent de façon classique un évidement axial (souvent appelé "l'oeil" de la bobine) dans lequel peut être logé un axe. Arrivée sur son lieu d'utilisation, la bobine est sortie de son enceinte et un axe est placé dans l'évidement axial de la bobine. Cette dernière est placée ensuite sur un support, lequel soutient l'axe en le maintenant sensiblement horizontal. Le câble peut alors être dévidé en faisant tourner la bobine autour de l'axe.For their transport, the cable coils are usually placed inside each enclosure so as to protect them from possible blows and inclement weather. The coils conventionally comprise an axial recess (often called "the eye" of the coil) in which can be housed an axis. Arrived at its place of use, the coil is removed from its enclosure and an axis is placed in the axial recess of the coil. The latter is then placed on a support, which supports the axis by keeping it substantially horizontal. The cable can then be unwound by rotating the coil about the axis.

Afin d'éviter de sortir la bobine de l'enceinte de transport lorsque l'on désire dérouler le câble, une amélioration a consisté à incorporer dans l'enceinte un support de bobine et à placer un axe dans l'oeil de la bobine, le support maintenant l'axe de façon à permettre la rotation de la bobine autour de l'axe. Cependant, le poids de la bobine et du câble est supporté par l'axe et par le support et il arrive que le support (souvent réalisé en plastique) casse au cours du transport de la bobine, du fait des efforts mécaniques exercés sur le support, dus par exemple à des secousses durant le transport de la bobine.In order to avoid pulling the reel out of the transport enclosure when it is desired to uncoil the cable, an improvement has consisted in incorporating into the enclosure a reel support and placing an axis in the eye of the reel, the support holds the axis so as to allow rotation of the coil about the axis. However, the weight of the coil and the cable is supported by the axis and the support and it happens that the support (often made of plastic) breaks during transport of the coil, due to the mechanical forces exerted on the support , due for example to shaking during the transport of the coil.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ce problème technique en proposant une boite de transport et un procédé supprimant au moins partiellement les risques de casse ou de destruction du support de la bobine, tout en permettant de dévider le câble, partiellement ou totalement de façon simple et économique.The present invention aims to solve this technical problem by providing a transport box and a method at least partially eliminating the risk of breakage or destruction of the support of the coil, while allowing to unwind the cable, partially or completely so simple and economical.

De façon plus précise, la présente invention a pour objet une boite d'expédition pour une bobine de câble, comportant une caisse pour entourer ladite bobine et un dispositif de dévidage du câble enroulé sur la bobine, laquelle est munie d'un évidement axial traversé par un axe. Ledit dispositif comprend deux supports munis chacun d'un palier, les supports étant solidaires de deux parois internes latérales et opposées de ladite caisse, et ladite boite peut prendre deux positions : une position de transport pour laquelle l'axe de la bobine n'est pas supporté par les paliers et une position de dévidage du câble pour laquelle l'axe de la bobine est supporté par les paliers permettant ainsi la rotation de la bobine autour dudit axe.More specifically, the present invention relates to a shipping box for a cable reel, comprising a box to surround said coil and a wire unwinding device wound on the coil, which is provided with an axial recess traversed by an axis. Said device comprises two supports each provided with a bearing, the supports being integral with two lateral and opposite internal walls of said box, and said box can take two positions: a transport position for which the axis of the coil is not supported by the bearings and a wire unwinding position for which the axis of the coil is supported by the bearings thus allowing the rotation of the coil about said axis.

Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la caisse est sans fond et la position de dévidage du câble est obtenue, à partir de la position de transport, par basculement de la boite d'expédition, par exemple en renversant à l'envers ladite boite.According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the box is bottomless and the unwinding position of the cable is obtained, from the transport position, by tilting of the shipping box, for example by reversing to the towards said box.

Avantageusement, la caisse peut être de forme parallélépipédique rectangle ou carrée et les supports peuvent être fixés sur deux parois internes parallèles et opposées ou simplement appliqués contre ces parois.Advantageously, the box may be of rectangular or square parallelepiped shape and the supports may be attached to two parallel and opposite internal walls or simply applied against these walls.

Selon un mode de réalisation, les paliers ont sensiblement une forme de fourche à deux dents, les deux extrémités de l'axe de la bobine étant placées d'une part en regard de la partie ouverte de la fourche lorsque la boite d'expédition est en position de transport et, d'autre part, en appui sur le fond de la fourche lorsque la boite d'expédition est en position de dévidage du câble.According to one embodiment, the bearings have a substantially two-prong fork shape, the two ends of the axis of the coil being placed on the one hand facing the open part of the fork when the shipping box is in the transport position and, secondly, resting on the bottom of the fork when the shipping box is in wire feeding position.

Les supports des paliers peuvent avantageusement être réalisés à partir de cartons pliés de façon à former d'une part les paliers et d'autre part des renforts latéraux des parois latérales internes de la boite.The supports of the bearings can advantageously be made from folded cardboards so as to form on the one hand the bearings and on the other side reinforcements of the inner side walls of the box.

La boite d'expédition comporte de préférence un plancher d'expédition sur lequel repose ladite bobine lorsque la boite est en position de transport, ce plancher pouvant être par exemple une palette de transport. La caisse est avantageusement fixée au plancher.The shipping box preferably comprises a shipping floor on which said coil when the box is in the transport position, this floor may be for example a pallet transport. The body is advantageously fixed to the floor.

L'invention a également pour objet un procédé d'expédition et de dévidage d'un câble enroulé sur une bobine munie d'un évidement axial et maintenue sur un plancher d'expédition, la bobine et le plancher étant placés à l'intérieur d'une boite constituée d'une caisse et d'un dispositif de dévidage du câble. Le procédé comporte les étapes suivantes :

  • un axe est placé dans l'évidement de la bobine, les deux extrémités de l'axe sortant légèrement à l'extérieur de l'évidement;
  • deux supports munis chacun d'un palier sont fixés à l'intérieur de la caisse;
  • la boite est amenée au-dessus de la bobine et descendue de façon à entourer la bobine et le plancher d'expédition et à positionner les deux extrémités de l'axe en regard des paliers pendant le transport de la bobine dans la boite; et
  • afin de permettre le dévidage total ou partiel du câble, la boite est basculée jusqu'à ce que les deux extrémités de l'axe soient supportés par les paliers et la bobine est désolidarisée dudit plancher.
The invention also relates to a method of shipping and unwinding a cable wound on a coil provided with an axial recess and held on a shipping floor, the coil and the floor being placed inside a box consisting of a box and a device for unwinding the cable. The method comprises the following steps:
  • an axis is placed in the recess of the coil, the two ends of the axis emerging slightly outside the recess;
  • two supports each provided with a bearing are fixed inside the body;
  • the box is brought over the reel and lowered so as to surround the reel and the shipping floor and to position the two ends of the axis facing the bearings during transport of the reel in the box; and
  • to allow total or partial wire feeding of the cable, the box is tilted until both ends of the axis are supported by the bearings and the coil is disengaged from said floor.

La bobine est avantageusement maintenue au plancher à l'aide d'un cerclage pendant le transport de la bobine.The spool is advantageously maintained on the floor by strapping during transport of the spool.

La boite est de préférence retournée à l'envers de façon à permettre le dévidage total ou partiel du câbleThe box is preferably turned upside down so as to allow the total or partial unwinding of the cable

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui suit de modes de réalisation, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, en référence aux dessins annexés et sur lesquels :

  • les figures 1a et 1b sont des représentations en perspective d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention respectivement en position de transport et en position de dévidage du câble;
  • les figures 2a et 2b illustrent schématiquement le procédé d'expédition d'une boite contenant une bobine respectivement en position de transport et en position de dévidage du câble; et
  • les figures 3a, 3b et 3c représentent un mode de réalisation du support de la bobine réalisé par pliage d'un carton.
Other advantages and features of the invention will emerge during the following description of embodiments, given by way of non-limiting examples, with reference to the appended drawings and in which:
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b are perspective representations of an embodiment of the invention respectively in the transport position and in the unwinding position of the cable;
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b schematically illustrate the method of shipping a box containing a reel respectively in the transport position and in the reeling position of the cable; and
  • Figures 3a, 3b and 3c show an embodiment of the support of the coil made by folding a carton.

La figure 1a montre en perspective une boite d'expédition 10 conforme à l'invention, prête à être transportée, contenant une bobine de câble 12. La bobine 12 est posée sur un plancher 14 fabriqué en bois et muni de pieds. Deux montants latéraux 16 et 18 empêchent la bobine de rouler. Le plancher et les montants constituent avantageusement une palette, couramment utilisée dans l'industrie, qui peut être soulevée et transportée aisément avec un chariot élévateur à fourche. Des moyens de fixation (non représentés), tels qu'une sangle, maintiennent fermement la bobine sur le plancher 14.Figure 1a shows in perspective a shipping box 10 according to the invention, ready to be transported, containing a cable reel 12. The coil 12 is placed on a floor 14 made of wood and provided with feet. Two lateral uprights 16 and 18 prevent the reel from rolling. The floor and the uprights advantageously constitute a pallet, commonly used in industry, which can be raised and transported easily with a forklift. Fastening means (not shown), such as a strap, firmly hold the coil on the floor 14.

La boite d'expédition 10 comporte une caisse 20, qui peut être par exemple en bois ou plus simplement en carton rigide et suffisamment épais (par exemple 7 mm d'épaisseur pour une caisse parallélépipédique rectangle de hauteur 76cm et de cotés 65cm et 45 cm et pour une bobine de diamètre égal à 60cm et de largeur 38,5cm). La caisse, qui entoure complètement la bobine 12 et le plancher 14, a avantageusement une forme parallélépipédique rectangle ou carrée. Elle comporte quatre cotés plans 22, 24, 26 et 28, parallèles deux à deux (22-24 et 26-28), et un couvercle 30. La caisse 20 n'a, de préférence, pas de fond et peut donc être placée au-dessus de la bobine 12, puis être descendue verticalement afin de coiffer la bobine 12 et le plancher 14. On pourrait également envisager que la caisse possède un fond de caisse détachable à l'aide d'une pré-découpe.The shipping box 10 comprises a box 20, which may be for example of wood or simply rigid cardboard and sufficiently thick (for example 7 mm thick for a rectangle box rectangular height 76cm and sides 65cm and 45 cm and for a coil of diameter equal to 60cm and width 38.5cm). The box, which completely surrounds the coil 12 and the floor 14, preferably has a rectangular or square parallelepiped shape. It comprises four planar sides 22, 24, 26 and 28, parallel in pairs (22-24 and 26-28), and a cover 30. The box 20 preferably has no bottom and can therefore be placed above the coil 12, and then down vertically to cover the coil 12 and the floor 14. It could also be envisaged that the body has a detachable bottom of the body with a pre-cut.

La partie inférieure de la caisse 20 est alors fixée au plancher 14 par exemple par des agrafes. Le bas de la caisse est découpé de façon à permettre à la fourche d'un chariot élévateur de passer sous le plancher 14. La caisse 20 comporte également une fenêtre 32 permettant le passage du câble lorsque la boite d'expédition 10 est en position de dévidage du câble (figure 1b).The lower part of the box 20 is then fixed to the floor 14 for example by staples. The bottom of the box is cut so as to allow the fork of a forklift to go under the floor 14. The box 20 also has a window 32 allowing the passage of the cable when the shipping box 10 is in position unwinding the cable (Figure 1b).

Avant de coiffer la bobine 12 par la caisse 20, un axe 34 est introduit dans un évidement central 36 de la bobine. L'évidement 36 est confondu avec l'axe longitudinal du cylindre 38 sur lequel le câble est enroulé; il est souvent désigné par "l'oeil" de la bobine par l'homme du métier. L'axe 34 dépasse légèrement des flancs de la bobine.Before capping the spool 12 by the body 20, an axis 34 is introduced into a central recess 36 of the spool. The recess 36 coincides with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder 38 on which the cable is wound; it is often referred to by the "eye" of the coil by the skilled person. The axis 34 slightly protrudes from the flanks of the spool.

La boite d'expédition 10 comprend également un dispositif de dévidage du câble fixé ou associé à la caisse 20. Sur les figures 1 et 2, qui montre une première forme de réalisation, le dispositif comporte deux supports latéraux 40 et 42, constitués par deux lattes en bois fixées respectivement aux parois 24 et 22 et se terminant chacune à l'une de leurs deux extrémités par une encoche formant un palier 44 (seul le palier associé au support 42 est visible sur les figures). Les supports 44 sont sensiblement verticaux. Les paliers ont la forme d'une fourche à deux dents (ou d'un "U" ou d'un "V") dont la partie centrale est placée en regard, et de préférence à la verticale, de l'axe 34. Une entretoise 46, également en bois, relie les extrémités des supports 40 et 42 opposées aux paliers 44, de façon à consolider l'ensemble des supports.The shipping box 10 also comprises a device for unwinding the cable fixed or associated with the body 20. In FIGS. 1 and 2, which shows a first embodiment, the device comprises two lateral supports 40 and 42, consisting of two wooden slats attached respectively to the walls 24 and 22 and each terminating at one of their ends by a notch forming a bearing 44 (only the bearing associated with the support 42 is visible in the figures). The supports 44 are substantially vertical. The bearings have the form of a fork with two teeth (or a "U" or a "V") whose central part is placed opposite, and preferably vertical, of the axis 34. A spacer 46, also made of wood, connects the ends of the supports 40 and 42 opposite to the bearings 44, so as to consolidate all the supports.

On remarque que dans la position de transport de la boite d'expédition, le poids de la bobine et du câble est entièrement supporté par le plancher 14 et qu'aucun effort n'est exercé sur l'axe 34 et sur les paliers 44 qui ne risquent donc pas d'être endommagés au cours du transport de la bobine.Note that in the transport position of the shipping box, the weight of the coil and cable is fully supported by the floor 14 and that no effort is exerted on the axis 34 and the bearings 44 which therefore, there is no risk of damage during transport of the spool.

Pour dérouler le câble de la bobine 12, la boite d'expédition est renversée à l'envers, le plancher 14 étant alors sur le dessus de la boite et le couvercle 30 sur le sol. Dans cette position de dévidage, on peut accéder facilement à l'intérieur de la boite d'expédition puisqu'elle est sans fond. Si ce n'était pas le cas, le fond (maintenant au dessus) pourrait être facilement enlevé par une pré-découpe de la boite. La sangle qui fixe la bobine 12 au plancher 14 est déliée afin de libérer la bobine. Cette dernière descend, par son poids, jusqu'à ce que les deux extrémités de l'axe 34 viennent se positionner dans les paliers 44. L'extrémité du câble 48 est passée à travers la fenêtre 32. Le câble peut alors être déroulé en faisant tourner la bobine 12 autour de l'axe 34.To unroll the cable of the coil 12, the shipping box is inverted upside down, the floor 14 then being on the top of the box and the lid 30 on the ground. In this unwinding position, it is easy to access the inside of the shipping box since it is bottomless. If this were not the case, the bottom (now above) could be easily removed by pre-cutting the box. The strap that secures the coil 12 to the floor 14 is untied to release the coil. The latter descends, by its weight, until the two ends of the shaft 34 are positioned in the bearings 44. The end of the cable 48 is passed through the window 32. The cable can then be unwound in rotating the coil 12 about the axis 34.

Les figures 2a et 2b illustrent schématiquement la position respectivement de transport et de dévidage du câble. Sur la figure 2a, la bobine repose sur le plancher 14, maintenue solidairement au plancher par des moyens non représentés. L'axe 34 ne repose pas sur le palier 44. La figure 2b montre la position de dévidage du câble, laquelle est obtenue en basculant à l'envers la boite d'expédition. La bobine 12 a été désolidarisée du plancher 14 et ne repose plus sur ce plancher. Du fait de son poids, la bobine descend jusqu'à ce que l'axe 34 soit logé dans le palier 44 et supporté par le support 42. La bobine peut alors tourner autour de l'axe 34 et le câble être déroulé, partiellement selon la longueur de câble désirée ou en entier.Figures 2a and 2b schematically illustrate the position respectively of transport and unwinding of the cable. In Figure 2a, the coil rests on the floor 14, held solidly to the floor by means not shown. The axis 34 does not rest on the bearing 44. Figure 2b shows the unwinding position of the cable, which is obtained by flipping upside down the shipping box. The coil 12 has been separated from the floor 14 and no longer rests on this floor. Due to its weight, the coil descends until the axis 34 is housed in the bearing 44 and supported by the support 42. The coil can then rotate about the axis 34 and the cable to be unwound, partially according to the desired cable length or in full.

Les figures 3 illustrent un autre mode de réalisation des supports de l'axe 34 de la bobine 12. Un carton relativement épais (par exemple environ 0,7cm) a la forme montrée sur la figure 3a. Il comporte une partie fixe 50, deux parties 52 et 54 repliables sur la partie fixe 50 autour des lignes respectivement 56 et 58 et deux évidements 60 et 62 destinés à former un palier 64 (figure 3c) dans lequel la bobine vient se loger lorsque la boite d'expédition est en position de dévidage du câble.Figures 3 illustrate another embodiment of the supports of the axis 34 of the coil 12. A relatively thick cardboard (for example about 0.7 cm) has the shape shown in Figure 3a. It comprises a fixed part 50, two parts 52 and 54 folding on the fixed part 50 around the lines respectively 56 and 58 and two recesses 60 and 62 intended to form a bearing 64 (Figure 3c) in which the coil is housed when the shipping box is in wire feeding position.

La première opération montrée sur la figure 3a consiste à rabattre, dans le sens de la flèche 1, la partie 52 sur la partie fixe 50, l'évidement 62 se juxtaposant à la partie droite de l'évidement 60. On obtient alors la forme représentée sur la figure 3b. La deuxième opération montrée sur la figure 3b consiste à rabattre, dans le sens de la flèche 2, la partie 54 sur la partie 66. On obtient ainsi un support 68 d'axe de la bobine ayant la forme dessinée sur la figure 3c. Ce support 68 comporte le palier 64 et deux jambes 70 et 72. Le support 68, ainsi qu'un autre identique, sont ensuite insérés dans la caisse 20 (figure 1a) de part et d'autre de la bobine 12, à la place des supports 40 et 42. Les supports en carton 68 sont plaqués contre les parois 22 et 24, les jambes 70 et 72 étant verticales et le palier 64 étant en regard (sans contact) et au-dessus de l'axe 34. Les deux supports 68 peuvent être fixés aux parois 22 et 24, par agrafage par exemple. Une autre solution consiste à donner au bord 74 du support 68 une longueur sensiblement égale à la distance séparant les deux parois internes 26 et 28 et à positionner le support 68 dans la caisse 20 de sorte que le bord 74 du support soit en contact avec le couvercle 30 et les bords latéraux 76 et 78 du support 68 en contact avec les parois internes 26 et 28. Dans ce cas, les deux supports 68 situés de part et d'autre de la bobine 12 servent à soutenir l'axe de la bobine lorsque la boite d'expédition est en position de dévidage du câble, mais également renforcent la solidité de la caisse 20, ce qui permet par exemple de gerber une ou plusieurs autres boites au-dessus de la boite 10.The first operation shown in FIG. 3a consists in folding back, in the direction of the arrow 1, the part 52 on the fixed part 50, the recess 62 juxtaposed with the right part of the recess 60. The shape shown in Figure 3b. The second operation shown in FIG. 3b consists of folding back, in the direction of the arrow 2, the portion 54 on the part 66. This gives a support 68 of the spindle axis having the shape drawn in FIG. 3c. This support 68 includes the bearing 64 and two legs 70 and 72. The support 68 and another identical, are then inserted into the box 20 (Figure 1a) on either side of the coil 12, instead supports 40 and 42. The cardboard supports 68 are pressed against the walls 22 and 24, the legs 70 and 72 being vertical and the bearing 64 being opposite (without contact) and above the axis 34. supports 68 may be attached to the walls 22 and 24, for example by stapling. Another solution is to give the edge 74 of the support 68 a length substantially equal to the distance between the two inner walls 26 and 28 and to position the support 68 in the box 20 so that the edge 74 of the support is in contact with the cover 30 and the side edges 76 and 78 of the support 68 in contact with the inner walls 26 and 28. In this case, the two supports 68 located on either side of the coil 12 serve to support the axis of the coil when the shipping box is in unwinding position of the cable, but also strengthen the strength of the body 20, which allows for example to stack one or more other boxes above the box 10.

L'axe de la bobine ne reposant pas sur les paliers 44 ou 64 pendant le transport de la bobine, les risques d'endommagement des paliers sont pratiquement exclus. Ceci permet de réaliser les supports d'axe de la bobine de façon plus légère que pour les supports classiques et d'éviter le dévidage inopiné de la bobine. Le coût du dispositif de dévidage du câble est faible comparé à celui d'un dévidoir classique. Il suffit par exemple d'ajouter deux supports d'axe en carton plié pour convertir une boite d'expédition standard en un dérouleur combiné à une boite classique. Le plancher sur lequel repose la bobine peut être une palette standard. De plus, ces supports peuvent être réalisés en carton, en quantité limitée, et la fabrication de moules d'injection ou autres outillages dédiés pour réaliser des supports d'axe, en plastique par exemple, n'est plus nécessaire.Since the axis of the spool does not rest on the bearings 44 or 64 during transport of the spool, the risks of damage to the bearings are practically excluded. This makes it possible to make the bobbin axis supports lighter than for conventional media and to avoid unintentional reeling of the reel. The cost of the cable reeling device is low compared to that of a conventional reel. For example, simply add two folded cardboard shaft holders to convert a standard shipping box into a combined paper cassette. The floor on which rests the coil can be a standard pallet. In addition, these supports can be made of cardboard, in limited quantities, and the manufacture of injection molds or other tools dedicated to producing axis supports, for example plastic, is no longer necessary.

Des variantes de réalisation sont envisageables sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention. A titre d'exemple, dans les modes de réalisation décrits, la caisse 20 est une caisse parallélépipédique rectangle ou carrée. D'autres formes peuvent éventuellement convenir. De plus, dans les modes de réalisation décrits, les supports 40 et 42 ou 68 sont verticaux. On peut cependant concevoir que d'autres positions puissent convenir : par exemple les supports 40 et 42 pourraient être horizontaux en position de transport (figures 1a et 2a) et la boite d'expédition serait alors basculer de 90° pour reposer sur l'un de ses cotés (l'accès à l'intérieur de la boite serait cependant moins aisé du fait que le fond de la boite se trouverait sur un coté). L'essentiel est que, par basculement de la boite, l'axe 34 vienne se loger dans les paliers 44 ou 64.Alternative embodiments are conceivable without departing from the scope of the present invention. By way of example, in the embodiments described, the body 20 is a rectangular or square parallelepiped box. Other forms may possibly be suitable. In addition, in the embodiments described, the supports 40 and 42 or 68 are vertical. However, it is conceivable that other positions may be suitable: for example the supports 40 and 42 could be horizontal in the transport position (Figures 1a and 2a) and the shipping box would then tilt 90 ° to rest on one on its sides (the access to the inside of the box would however be less easy because the bottom of the box would be on one side). The essential thing is that, by tilting of the box, the axis 34 comes to be housed in the bearings 44 or 64.
