Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a novel storage device used for storing, transporting or unwinding a bundle of electric wires.

[Prior Art] Electric wires of comparatively small size which are used for wiring in various devices and automobiles are supplied to users in a so-called bundled state. It was usually in the form of packing, cardboard boxes, etc.

In using it, as shown in FIG. 6, unload the wire bundle 20 to take out the bundle of electric wires, put it on an appropriate base or install an appropriate protruding guide member at the center. Wire 20a
It was general that the wire was pulled up from the inside of the electric wire bundle 20 and fed out, and cut into a predetermined length by an automatic cutting machine for practical use.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] When the electric wire 20a is stored and transported by the packing method as described above and the electric wire 20a is unwound by the above-described handling method, the bundle is often collapsed or entangled. If the electric wire is entangled by the cutting machine during the cutting operation, it is necessary to suspend the work in order to correct the entanglement.

In particular, recently, there is a tendency to increase the length of the electric wire wound in a single electric wire bundle in order to improve work efficiency. On the contrary, it tends to increase, and on the contrary, it is even the cause of the decrease in efficiency.

In addition, when it is packed with cardboard, it is often troublesome in addition to the troublesome handling and the disposal of empty boxes.

In order to solve these problems, recently, there has been an increasing demand for a plastic bobbin winding for the packaging. However, in order to make a plastic bobbin winding, it is necessary to change the electric wire manufacturing equipment to a different one, which necessitates a capital investment for that and also results in a limited manufacturing speed, which is an economically advantageous measure. I can't say.

The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, to avoid inefficiency of directly winding the bobbin, and to bundle the electric wires with a conventional high-speed automatic bundling machine. The electric wire bundle is directly inserted into the bobbin-shaped body where one brim can be attached and removed to store it, and when used, the electric wire can be smoothly fed out without entanglement as with bobbin winding, and can be stored and transported. In this case, it is intended to provide a new device for accommodating electric wire bundles, which can be expected to save space by stably stacking in a heavy box shape.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An apparatus for accommodating a wire bundle according to the present invention has an annular brim portion formed at a lower portion, a hollow inner portion, and a screw hole formed at the top portion for connecting an upper lid separately provided. At the same time, the outer side has a tapered shape in which the body diameter decreases from the lower part to the upper part,
A main body having a body portion around which a bundle of electric wires is fitted and stored, and a brim portion having substantially the same diameter as the lower brim portion of the body portion,
The main body is composed of a detachable upper lid having a coupling hole through which a screw can be searched at a position matching the top screw hole of the main body, and a set screw for coupling the upper lid to the main body in a bobbin shape. It is characterized in that a plurality of stacks can be stacked by fitting the top of the main body located to the base of another main body located above.

[Operation] Since the body of the body, which has an annular brim at the bottom and the brim at the top is removed, has a hat-like outer shape, the wire bundle removed from the automatic bundling machine is directly inserted into the body. In this way, the upper lid having the brim portion fitted into the body portion is fixed with screws, so that the entire structure is similar to that of bobbin winding. Therefore, when used, the electric wire cannot be paid out from the outside like the bobbin winding like in the conventional case, and it is in the same state as the bobbin winding, and it can be paid out without causing any entanglement. become.

In addition, the outside of the body of the main body is tapered so that the diameter of the body becomes smaller from the lower part to the upper part, and the inside is made hollow, so that the main body is located at the lower side It can be stacked and stored in a tower shape by fitting it to the base of, and can be stacked and stored in a heavy box shape even if it is stored in an empty state where the wire bundle is not stored or when the wire bundle is stored. Therefore, there is an advantage that the space used can be minimized.

Embodiment Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows a bobbin-shaped body 10 and an upper lid 11 of the device according to the present invention.
It is sectional drawing which shows the state which isolate | separated.

1 is a brim portion formed in an annular shape at the bottom of the main body 10, and 2
Is a body part, and a wire bundle 20 described later is fitted and stored in the periphery thereof. The body 2 is hollow, and the outer periphery thereof has a taper shape in which the body diameter becomes smaller from the lower part to the upper part, which facilitates the storage of the wire bundle 20. This is because the body of the automatic winding device for the wire bundle is usually tapered to facilitate the removal of the wire bundle, and both the body 2 and the body of the automatic winding device are provided. This is because the tapered shape can be adapted.

Further, by making the body portion 2 hollow and tapered, as will be described later, by the extremely easy means of fitting the top portion of the main body 10 located below to the base portion of another main body 10 located above, It is possible to stack a plurality of main bodies 10.

A screw hole 3 for screwing the upper lid 11 to the top of the body 2
Is formed, and a set screw (not shown) is provided through the coupling hole 11a formed in the upper lid 11 of FIG. 1 (see FIG. 3).
Thus, the body portion 2 and the upper lid 11 are united as shown by the white arrow in the figure and screwed by the set screw.

When the upper lid 11 is screwed to the body 2 as described above,
An upper lid brim portion 5 is formed so as to correspond to the lower annular main body brim portion 1 described above and to have a bobbin-like structure as a whole.

It should be noted that reference numeral 4 shown by a dotted line in FIG. 1 is a rib provided for reinforcement if necessary, and is not essential.

FIG. 2 shows a wire bundle 20 wound by an automatic wire bundle winding device.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the bundle is removed from the winding device, the bundle 20 is inverted, and the bundle 20 is fitted into the body portion of the main body 10 according to the present invention and stored.

When the wire bundle 20 is fitted into the main body 10 as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the upper lid 11 is attached to the upper part of the main body 10, the set screw 12 is inserted through the coupling hole 11a as described above, and the set screw 12 is screwed into the screw hole 3 at the top of the main body. Then, the main body 10 and the upper lid 11 are clamped and fixed.

The wire bundle 20 housed in the housing device according to the present invention as described above is housed between the body portion 2 and the upper and lower brim portions 1 and 5, as shown in FIG. 20
Can obtain the same structure as when the bobbin is removed.

When the electric wire is fed from the electric wire bundle 20 and cut, the electric wire can be fed from the outer side of the electric wire bundle as in the bobbin feeding, instead of pulling up the electric wire from the inside of the bundle as in the conventional example shown in FIG. By doing so, the occurrence of entanglement of electric wires, which has frequently occurred in the past, will be completely eliminated.

FIG. 3 illustrates a state in which the storage device according to the present invention is used. However, when the storage device is placed in a storage state or during transportation, the main body 10 is moved downward as shown in FIG. The top 13 of the body 10 located at
By fitting it into the base portion (14), it can be stably stacked in the shape of a heavy box, and a large space-saving effect can be expected.

In the above-mentioned conventional packing, the collapse of the load is likely to occur due to the stacking, and it is impossible to stack properly as shown in FIG. 4, and a special tool such as a storage shelf is required. In addition to the economic effect of eliminating the need for such a tool, it can be said that there is an inherent advantage of the present invention.

FIG. 5 shows the state of storage or transportation in the empty state after the bundle of electric wires has been unwound, but stability is maintained and space saving can be achieved simply by stacking them.
Compared with the case of an empty bobbin, the effect of improving the storage space is great.

In the present invention, it is sufficient to wind the bundle of electric wires with the high-speed automatic winder currently used, remove the wound bundle, and fit it into the body of the body as it is. It does not require major improvements, does not cause a slowdown of the winding speed, and can take in the great advantages of bobbin winding as it is when feeding the wire during use. When combined with the space improvement effect of, it can be said that it is truly epoch-making.

[Effect of the Invention] As described above, according to the wire bundle storage device of the present invention,
The existing high-speed automatic winding device for electric wires can be used as it is, and the advantages superior to the advantages of bobbin winding can be demonstrated, and the profit that can be accepted by the user side as well as the manufacturer is very large. There is something.
