Cable storage unit 21 for locally storing unused cables among the four cables 9a to 9d and waiting for the cables to stand by.
The storage unit 21 has six storage grooves a to f.
, Three on each side. Even when all four cables 9a to 9d are stored, the storage grooves e and f adjacent to the sheave 12 are left empty. In this manner, also in the sheave 12, similarly to the case of the hoisting winch 14, the operation can be performed without causing interference between the cables when replacing the cable with the required cable.

In the observation winch equipment of the present embodiment, the turning sheave 8 provided at the head of the cable guide path also has the non-turning sheave 8 near the turning sheave 8 among the four cables 9a to 9d. Used cables 9a, 9b,
9d is stored together with the connectors 10a, 10b, and 10d at the respective ends, and the cable / connector storage unit 22 is placed on standby.
However, it is provided so as to have a not-shown stopper.

In this way, the operation of replacing the required cable with the turning sheave 8 can be easily performed. Further, in the observation winch facility of the present embodiment, the swirl compensator 15 provided between the turning sheave 8 and the hoisting winch 14 also has four (in the present embodiment, in the vicinity) thereof. Cables 9a-9d
A cable storage unit 23 is provided for locally storing unused cables among them, and for holding the cables unused, whereby the operation of replacing the cable attached to the spell compensator 15 with a required one is easily performed. Become like

As described above, in the cable-selection-type observation winch facility of this embodiment, when the observation apparatus is replaced, the cable 9c of the observation apparatus which has been used so far is wound up by the winch.
The cable is removed from the drum 18 and stored in the cable storage section on the side where the required cable does not exist among the cable storage sections 19 and 19 on both sides of the drum 18. Then, the required cable for the new observation device to be used Is mounted on the drum 18, so that a single hoisting winch 14 is shared by a plurality of observation devices.

A sheave 12 for selectively guiding one of the plurality of cables 9a to 9d to the cable guide path.
Is provided, and a cable storage section 21 is provided on both sides of the sheave 12 for locally storing unused cables of the plurality of cables and holding the cables, so that when the observation device is replaced, a winding winch is provided. The cable replacement operation of the sheave 12 is performed in the same manner as the cable replacement operation of the drum 14.

Further, each connector is more than the winch 14
In the turning sheave 8 that selectively guides one of the plurality of cables 9a to 9d to the side closer to 10a to 10d, the tip of the unused cable among the plurality of cables is located near the turning sheave 8. A cable / connector storage section 22 is provided for storing the section together with the connector at the end of the cable, and the cable connector connector storage section 22 is provided. Is stored in the cable / connector storage section 22 in the vicinity, and then the operation of attaching the cable end with the connector for the required observation device in the cable / connector storage section 22 to the turning sheave 8 can be performed efficiently. .

Also, in the swirl compensator 15 provided between the turning sheave 8 and the hoisting winch 14 to selectively pass one of a plurality of cables, the swirl compensator 15 is provided in the vicinity of the swirl compensator 15. Since the cable storage unit 23 is provided for locally storing unused cables among the plurality of cables and holding the cables, a cable of the observation device that is no longer needed is removed from the sheave in the spell compensator 15, and Store it in the nearby cable storage unit 23,
The operation of replacing the cable for the required observation device that has been waiting in the cable storage unit 23 can be easily performed.

In the present equipment, the cable shifter 11 and the damper sheave 13 also use a plurality of cables 9a to 9d.
Cable storage sections are provided on both sides of each sheave to locally store unused ones and make them stand by, so that replacement with required cables is easily performed as in the case of fixed sheave 12. It is supposed to be.

[0025]
