Description

  The present invention relates to a linear material routing jig, and more particularly to a linear material routing jig suitable for routing a linear material such as a hose or a cable on a floor surface or a ground surface.

  High pressure water is jetted onto the object to be cleaned to clean the object to be cleaned. FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing the state of such cleaning. The high-pressure water production apparatus 1 has a built-in high-pressure pump, and sends the produced high-pressure water from the high-pressure hose 2. An injection nozzle 3 is attached to the tip of the high-pressure hose 2, and an operator 4 holds the injection nozzle 3 and injects high-pressure water from the injection nozzle 3 toward the object to be cleaned 5. The object to be cleaned 5 is cleaned by the injection of high-pressure water. Usually, the high-pressure water producing apparatus 1 is mounted on a vehicle or has a traveling wheel so as to be movable, and the high-pressure water producing apparatus 1 is often cleaned as close to the object to be cleaned 5 as possible. However, there are cases in which it is difficult to bring the high-pressure water production apparatus 1 close to the object to be cleaned 5 depending on when the high-pressure water production apparatus 1 is at a fixed position or depending on the installation position of the object 5 to be cleaned. The high-pressure hose 2 needs to be extended from the high-pressure water production apparatus 1 to the position of the object 5 to be cleaned. Further, when cleaning the back surface 5A of the article 5 to be cleaned, it is necessary to route the high-pressure hose 2 toward the back surface 5A so that the spray nozzle 3 faces the back surface 5A. The high pressure hose 2 has an outer diameter of about 5 cm, but since it is pressure resistant, the empty weight per unit is as heavy as about 3 kg / m. For this reason, for example, when the high-pressure hose 2 having a length of 100 m is routed, the total weight of the high-pressure hose 2 is 300 kg, and the labor for routing is increased. Further, if such a heavy high-pressure hose 2 is forcibly pulled against the floor surface or the ground surface, the outer peripheral surface of the high-pressure hose 2 is damaged. Further, when the high pressure hose 2 is forcibly pulled with the kink portion 6, excessive bending stress acts on the kink portion 6 and the high pressure hose 2 is easily broken. In the state in which high-pressure water has entered the high-pressure hose 2, the above-described problem is further increased because the weight of water is added.

  As a measure for solving such a problem, Patent Literature 1 discloses a hose guide device that can guide a cleaning hose easily and accurately and can reduce labor of an operator.

JP 2002-239491 A

However, the hose guide device described in Patent Document 1 has a complicated structure. In addition, the installation position is limited, and there is a lack of flexibility.
The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and to freely attach the wire material to any position of a wire material such as a high-pressure hose so that the wire material can be easily routed, and the structure is The object is to provide a simple wire material routing jig.

  In order to achieve the above object, a wire rod routing jig according to the present invention includes a casing that can be attached to a wire material so as to surround the wire material outer periphery, and a plurality of wires disposed on the outer periphery of the casing. It is characterized by comprising a number of rolling elements.

  In the wire material routing jig having the above-described configuration, it is preferable that the casing has a half structure. Moreover, it is preferable that the attachment which can adjust a dimension with the outer diameter of the said linear material was provided in the inner peripheral side of the casing.

  The wire material routing jig according to the present invention includes a plurality of rolling elements arranged on the outer periphery of the casing, and is mounted so as to surround the outer periphery of the wire material. Then, the rolling element comes into contact with the floor surface, and the linear material does not come into contact with the floor surface. Since the rolling element freely rolls in all directions, the linear member can be smoothly drawn and moved with a small force with only a rolling resistance between the rolling element and the floor surface.

  In addition, by making the casing into a half structure, the linear material can be easily attached to and detached from any position, and the structure can be simplified. By providing an attachment that can be adjusted in dimension with the outer diameter of the linear material, it is possible to attach to a plurality of types of linear materials having different outer diameters, which is convenient.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of a routing jig according to the present invention. The linear material 10 is, for example, a high-pressure hose through which high-pressure water for cleaning passes, and a routing jig 12 is attached to the main part of the linear material 10 at predetermined intervals. The routing jig 12 includes a donut-shaped casing 14 having an inner periphery and an outer periphery. The inner periphery of the casing 14 is circular, and the outer periphery is hexagonal. A universal seat 20 in which a rolling element 18 is fitted is attached to each outer hexagonal surface 16.

  FIG. 2 is a main part diagram showing the positional relationship between the rolling elements 18 and the floor surface (ground surface) 22. The rolling element 18 is a sphere, and its hemispherical part is immersed in the housing 21 of the universal seat 20 so as not to fall off the universal seat 20, and the remaining hemispherical part protrudes outside the universal seat 20 and freely rolls. . When the hexagonal surface 16 of the casing 14 is parallel to the floor surface 22 as shown in FIG. 2A, the protruding hemispherical portion of the rolling element 18 naturally comes into contact with the floor surface 22. Also, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the corner portion 24 of the casing 14 faces the floor surface 22, the protruding hemispherical portion of the rolling element 18 first comes into contact with the floor surface 22, and the corner portion 24 and the floor surface 22. And is not in contact. As a result, the rolling element 18 always contacts the floor surface 22 regardless of the direction of the X and Y directions shown in FIG. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the linear material 10 and the corner 24 of the routing jig 12 do not come into contact with the floor surface 22. Moreover, since the rolling element 18 freely rolls in all directions, the rolling element 18 rotates in contact with the floor surface 22 when the linear member 10 is pulled in the lateral direction. Therefore, the linear material 10 can be smoothly drawn and moved by a small force with only a rolling resistance between the rolling elements 18 and the floor surface 22.

  FIG. 3 is a front view showing the detailed structure of the routing jig 12. The casing 14 has a halved structure, and a pair of halved casings 14A and 14B are connected by a hinge 25 to be freely opened and closed. Clamp members 26 and 27 are attached to the opposite sides of the hinges 25 attachment portions of the casings 14A and 14B. The inner periphery 28 of the casings 14 </ b> A and 14 </ b> B is a circumferential surface, and an attachment 30 is mounted inside the inner periphery 28.

  The attachment 30 is a part for adjusting the dimension with the outer diameter of the linear material 10, and is a half-shaped ring as shown in FIG. 4 (a), and its outer peripheral surface 32 is the inner peripheral diameter of the casing 14. The dimension is selected so that the inner peripheral surface 34 corresponds to the outer diameter D of the linear material 10. Therefore, when the outer diameter D of the linear material 10 to be mounted changes, the attachment 30 is replaced with one that matches the outer diameter D of the linear material 10. FIG. 4B shows the attachment 30A when the outer diameter D of the linear material 10 is reduced. That is, the outer peripheral surface 32 of the attachment 30 </ b> A does not change because it corresponds to the inner peripheral diameter of the casing 14, but the inner peripheral surface 34 </ b> A is selected to have a small size corresponding to the outer diameter D of the linear material 10. Two protrusions 36 are formed on the outer peripheral surface 32 of the attachment 30, and the protrusions 36 can be fitted into a recess 38 provided on the inner periphery 28 of the casing 14.

  When the routing jig 12 having the above-described configuration is mounted on the linear material 10, first, an attachment 30 that matches the outer diameter of the linear material 10 is selected and set on the inner periphery 28 side of the casing 14. . At this time, the projections 36 of the attachment 30 are fitted into the recesses 38 provided on the inner periphery 28 of the casing 14, whereby the mutual position of the attachment 30 and the casing 14 is fixed. It is not necessary to set the attachment 30 when the inner diameter of the casing 14 corresponds to the outer diameter D of the linear material 10.

  Next, with the hinge 25 open, the wire 12 is routed to a predetermined position of the linear member 10, the outer periphery of the linear member 10 is surrounded by the casing 14, and the half-structured casing 14 </ b> A is clamped by the clamp members 26 and 27. 14B is tightened and fixed. As shown in FIG. 1, by attaching the routing jig 12 to a plurality of necessary portions of the linear material 10, the routing operation of the linear material 10 can be performed easily and smoothly. The routing jig 12 has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost. Further, since the casing 14 has a half structure, it can be easily attached to and detached from the linear material 10 and can be used repeatedly. Further, by replacing the attachment 30, it is possible to attach to a plurality of types of linear members 10 having different outer diameters, which is convenient.

FIG. 5 is a front view showing a second embodiment of the routing jig according to the present invention. The routing jig 40 includes a donut-shaped casing 42 having an inner periphery and an outer periphery. The inner periphery of the casing 42 is circular, and the outer periphery is octagonal. A universal seat 48 into which rolling elements 46 are fitted is attached to every other octagonal surface 44 on the outer periphery. The rolling element 46 is a sphere, and its hemispherical part is immersed in the housing of the universal seat 48 so that it does not fall off the universal seat 48, and the remaining hemispherical part protrudes outside the universal seat 48 and rolls freely. The casing 42 has a halved structure, can be opened and closed via a hinge 50, and can be tightened by a clamp 52.
The routing jig 40 of the second embodiment has a smaller number of rolling elements and a simpler structure than the first embodiment, and can be manufactured at a low cost.
