Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire rod container in which wire rods, such as welding wires, which are supplied while being spirally wound, are distributed and stored along the circumferential direction of a wire rod storage portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an example of a wire rod storage container,
As shown in FIG. 4, the outer wall portion 2 includes a cylindrical outer wall portion 2 formed in a conical shape having a larger diameter toward the upper end side and a cylindrical inner wall portion 3 formed in a conical shape having a smaller diameter toward the upper end side. The inner wall 3 is arranged concentrically inside the inner wall of the inner wall 3, and the lower end of the outer wall 2 and the lower end of the inner wall 3 are annular bottom plates 4.
There has been proposed a wire rod storage container A in which an annular wire rod storage portion 1 is formed between the outer wall portion 2 and the inner wall portion 3 (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-15874). Since the wire rod storage container A has a substantially W-shaped cross section in the radial direction, a plurality of empty containers are stacked in a state where one empty container is put inside the other empty container and is stored compactly. There are advantages.

[0003]

However, in the above-described conventional wire rod storage container A, the outer wall portion 2 forming the wire rod storage portion 1 is formed in a conical shape having a larger diameter toward the upper end side. The wire rod W, which is supplied while being wound in a spiral around the axis X, is rotated around a rotation axis Y, which is concentric with the center axis of the container, and the outer peripheral side of the spiral is the outer wall. In order to disperse and store along the circumferential direction of the wire rod storage unit 1 in a stable posture in contact with the inner peripheral surface 2a of the wire unit 2, the wire rod W whose storage position in the wire rod storage unit 1 is close to the upper end side of the outer wall unit 2 Therefore, it is necessary to provide a means for supplying the wire W while winding it with a large spiral diameter, or a means for supplying the wire W so that the supply speed of the wire W is increased and the wire W spreads to a large spiral diameter. There is a drawback that the method of supplying the wire W to the wire becomes complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is possible to disperse and store a wire rod supplied by a simple feeding method in a stable posture along the circumferential direction of the wire rod storage portion, and further to provide a plurality of empty spaces. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wire rod storage container that is compact and easy to store.

The wire rod is configured to be formed in an annular shape between the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical member and the outer peripheral side of the small diameter cylindrical member. In the state where the small-diameter cylindrical member is inserted into the wire rod, the wire rod housing portion is distributed and stored along the circumferential direction.

According to a fourth characteristic constitution of the present invention, in the third characteristic constitution, the container main body has a cylindrical inner wall portion formed inside the cylindrical outer wall portion and having a conical shape having a smaller diameter toward the upper end side. It is arranged in a state of being inserted into the core, and is configured by connecting the lower end side of the tubular outer wall portion and the lower end side of the tubular inner wall portion with an annular bottom plate portion, and on the inner peripheral side of the small diameter cylindrical member. The point is that an inward flange is provided to be fitted on the outer surface side of the cylindrical inner wall portion.

A fifth characteristic constitution of the present invention is that in the first, second, third or fourth characteristic constitution, the partition member is made of a material having flammability.

[Operation] The operation of the first characteristic configuration is as follows. The partition member is attached to the container body in a positioned state, and a wire rod accommodating portion having a constant diameter is formed on the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical member along the axial direction of the cylinder, while being spirally wound with a constant spiral diameter. Wires supplied at a constant speed are distributed and stored along the circumferential direction of the wire storage unit. Then, when the wire rod container is empty, the partition member can be taken out from the container body.

The operation of the second characteristic structure is as follows. When the partition member is attached to the container body, the outward flange provided on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical member is fitted on the inner surface side of the cylindrical outer wall portion.

The operation of the third characteristic structure is as follows. Wires that are supplied while being spirally wound are distributed and stored along the circumferential direction of the wire storage unit with the small-diameter cylindrical member inserted inside the spiral.

When the partition member is attached to the container body, the inward facing flange provided on the inner peripheral side of the small diameter cylindrical member is fitted on the outer surface side of the cylindrical inner wall portion.

The operation of the fifth characteristic structure is as follows. When the partition member taken out from the container body is discarded, the partition member can be incinerated.

[Effect of the Invention] According to the wire rod storage container of the first characteristic configuration, since the wire rod storage portion having a constant diameter is formed on the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical member along the cylinder axis direction, it is constant. The outer circumference of the spiral is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical outer wall part regardless of the storage position in the wire storage part of the wire supplied by a simple supply method in which it is wound at a constant speed while spirally winding It can be distributed and stored along the circumferential direction of the wire storage unit in a stable posture, and when the wire storage container becomes empty, the partition member can be taken out from the container body, so the partition member is discarded and the multiple container bodies are tubular. The container can be stored compactly by stacking them on top of each other with the outer surface of the tubular outer wall of another container body entering the inner surface of the outer wall.

According to the wire rod storage container of the second characteristic structure, in addition to the effect of the first characteristic structure, the partition member is arranged in a state where the cylindrical member is arranged concentrically with the cylinder axis of the cylindrical outer wall portion. Easy to attach to the body with high precision.

According to the wire rod storage container of the third characteristic configuration, in addition to the effect of the first or second feature configuration, the wire rod is placed along the circumferential direction of the wire rod storage portion in a state where the small diameter cylindrical member is inserted inside the spiral. Since it can be distributed and stored, the wire storage posture does not collapse.

Easy to attach to the container body with high precision.

According to the wire rod container of the fifth characteristic constitution, in addition to the effect of the first, second, third or fourth characteristic constitution,
The partition member can be easily disposed of.
