DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a winding device for a linear body according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The winding device shown in FIG. 1 winds a tape-shaped multi-core optical fiber core 1 as a linear body. The optical fiber 1 is supplied from the lower right in FIG.
After the initial unnecessary portion is removed and collected by the removing means 5, the good portion is wound around the winding frame 6. In the following, each component of the winding device will be described individually from the upstream side where the optical fiber core 1 is fed.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of measuring rollers 2 are disposed on the upstream side of the optical fiber cable 1. The measuring roller 2 measures the feeding amount of the optical fiber core 1 sent from a previous process such as a manufacturing process of the optical fiber core 1. A fixed guide roller 8 and a movable guide roller 3 are disposed downstream of the measurement roller 2. The movable guide roller 3 changes the path direction of the optical fiber core 1 and also controls the optical fiber core 1.
Is being guided.

The movable guide roller 3 is provided with guide means 4
A moving means 18 for moving the guide means 4; and an upstream linear body gripping means 11 disposed upstream of the guide means 4 (ie, between the movable guide roller 3 and the guide means 4).
At the same time, it is movable in the direction A in FIG. The upstream linear body gripping means 11 grips the optical fiber core wire 1 from above and below, and is moved by the moving means 18 together with the guide means 4 in the direction B or C in FIG.

The guide means 4 has a linear body passage hole 40 through which the optical fiber core wire 1 passes. As shown in FIG. 2, the distal end portion of the guide means 4 includes a base 4a and a lid 4b. A groove is formed on the upper surface of the base 4a, and the linear body passage hole 40 is formed by overlapping the lid 4b on the base 4a. Linear body passage hole 40
2 and 3, a bent portion cranked in the width direction of the optical fiber core 1 along the outgoing direction D of the optical fiber core 1 in the linear body passage hole 40, as shown in FIGS. Part 41
Are formed. Although the striated body passage hole 40 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is formed in a flat shape, it is formed in a curved shape and guided from the entrance side to the exit side of the striated body passage hole. The guide means and the striated body passage hole may be formed by being curved in the thickness direction.

[0038] As shown in FIG.
Is formed wider than the joint portion 20 at the seam in the middle of the optical fiber core wire 1. In addition, the linear object passage hole 4
The width W2 between the inner side surface 42 on the bent side of both end portions of the zero and the inner side surface 43 of the bent portion 41 that is not the bent side is substantially equal to the width W3 of the optical fiber 1.

Since the linear body passage hole 40 has a cranked shape as described above, the inner side surface 42 and the inner side surface 43 are formed.
Accordingly, it is possible to reliably guide the optical fiber core 1 without causing the optical fiber 1 to deflect. Further, even when the joint portion 20 of the optical fiber core wire 1 to be guided passes through the striated body passage hole 40, the entire width W1 of the linear body passage hole 40 is wider than the joint portion 20. The joint portion 20 can pass along the crank shape of the linear object passage hole 40 without being caught.

It is to be noted that such a joint portion 20 is generally used for coupling unnecessary portions at the ends of the optical fiber core 1. For this reason, the joint portion 20 is removed and collected together with the unnecessary portion, and is not taken up by the take-up winding frame 6 described later.

Further, in order to prevent the joining portion 20 from being caught and to smoothly guide the optical fiber 1, it is preferable to form the oblique portions 44 at both ends of the bent portion 41.
In particular, it is preferable that the contact inner side surface 45 that comes into contact with the joint 20 be inclined in a direction in which the joint 20 is guided. Further, both ends of the striated body passage hole 40 are chamfered so as not to catch the guided optical fiber 1.

The above-described guide means 4, movable guide roller 3, and upstream linear body gripping means 11 can be integrally moved in the direction A in FIG. At this time, the guide means 4, the movable guide roller 3, and the upstream linear body gripping means 1
1 may be fixedly installed, and the winding frame 6 and the removing means 5 may be moved in the direction A in FIG. Guide means 4,
Guide means 4 when movable guide roller 3 and upstream linear body gripping means 11 are located on the lower left side in FIG.
A removing means 5 for removing an unnecessary portion of the optical fiber core wire 1 is arranged on the downstream side.

The removing means 5 includes a linear body taking-off roller 7,
It has a linear body recovery mechanism 9 and a linear body cutting mechanism 12. The linear body take-off roller 7 is composed of a pair of rollers located near the downstream side of the guide means 4, and rotates in opposite directions while holding the optical fiber core 1, so that the optical fiber core 1 is rotated. Take it downstream.

The linear body take-off roller 7 and the guide means 4
A linear body cutting mechanism 12 is disposed on the side of, and the linear body cutting mechanism 12 can advance and retreat between the linear body take-up roller 7 and the guide unit 4. In the case of this device, the linear body cutting mechanism 12 has a nipper that can cut the linear body 1 such as an optical fiber. The linear body cutting mechanism 12 is independently movable in the direction A in the figure.

A linear body collection mechanism 9 is disposed downstream of the linear body take-up roller 7. The linear body recovery mechanism 9 is connected to a negative pressure generator (not shown) and has a negative pressure space 90 that can artificially generate a negative pressure. The negative pressure space 90 also functions as a space for taking in and storing unnecessary portions of the optical fiber core wires 1 taken by the linear body taking-up roller 7.

On the other hand, when the guide means 4, the movable guide roller 3 and the upstream linear body gripping means 11 are arranged on the upper right side in FIG. 1, a downstream linear body grip is provided downstream of the guide means 4. Means 19 are arranged. The downstream side linear body gripping means 19, like the upstream side linear body gripping means 11, holds the optical fiber core wire 1 from above and below. A winding frame 6 for winding the optical fiber 1 is set downstream of the downstream linear body gripping means 19.

The take-up winding frame 6 is mounted on a carriage 23, and when winding on one take-up winding frame 6 is completed,
Then, it can be easily exchanged for another winding frame 6 to be wound. The winding frame 6 on which the winding is performed is mounted on a driving mechanism (not shown) by the clamp cylinder 22 and rotated. The rotation speed of the winding frame 6 is controlled in synchronization with the feeding speed of the optical fiber core 1.

Above the winding frame 6 where the winding is performed, terminal fixing label feeding means 13 for attaching a terminal fixing label 14 for fixing the lower opening and the upper opening of the optical fiber core 1 is provided. It is arranged. The terminal fixing label feeding means 13 has an elastic pad 15 for adsorbing the terminal fixing label 14 sequentially fed with the belt-shaped backing paper. The elastic pad 15 is connected to a cylinder 17, and can be moved up and down by the cylinder 17. The terminal fixed label feeding means 13 also has an ink jet head 16 for printing manufacturing information on the surface of the terminal fixed label 14 which is sequentially fed. In addition, an adhesive layer is formed on the back surface of the terminal fixing label 14 in advance.

Next, a method for winding the optical fiber core 1 as a linear body by the winding device shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

The winding of the optical fiber 1 by the winding device shown in FIG. 1 is performed by removing an unnecessary portion of the optical fiber 1 and fixing the lower opening of the optical fiber 1 to the winding frame 6. The winding of the good portion of the optical fiber core 1, the fixing of the upper end of the optical fiber core 1 to the winding frame 6, and the replacement of the winding frame 6 are performed. The following describes this procedure.

Removal of Unnecessary Portion of Optical Fiber Core 1 An unnecessary portion is formed at the end of the optical fiber core 1 for manufacturing reasons. Therefore, the unnecessary portion is removed before the winding of the optical fiber core 1 by the winding frame 6. If there is no unnecessary portion, the following steps (1) to (4) are repeated without performing the removing operation.

The distal end of the optical fiber core wire 1 is inserted in advance into the linear object passage hole 40 of the guide means 4. Further, the guide means 4 is located on the lower left side in FIG. 1, that is, on the upstream side of the removing means 5. First, the leading end of the optical fiber core wire 1 is sandwiched by the linear body take-off roller 7, and the linear body take-up roller 7 is driven to start the optical fiber core wire 1. Simultaneously with the driving of the linear body take-up roller 7, the negative pressure generator connected to the linear body collection mechanism 9 is activated, and the inside of the negative pressure space 90 is made negative. At this time, the upstream linear body gripping means 11 is open and does not grip the optical fiber core 1.

An unnecessary portion of the optical fiber core wire 1 is pulled by a linear body pulling roller 7 and is subjected to a negative pressure to form a negative pressure space 9.
It is sucked and collected within 0. The amount of the optical fiber core wire 1 taken by the linear body taking-off roller 7 is measured via the rotation amount of the measuring roller 2. The length of the unnecessary portion of the optical fiber core wire 1 is known in advance, and when the end of the unnecessary portion is located between the guide means 4 and the linear body take-up roller 7 or is longer than the linear body take-up roller 7 When it is located inside the removing means 5, the driving of the linear body take-up roller 7 is stopped.

Next, the guide means 4 is retracted by the moving means 18 to the upstream side in the direction B in FIG. The optical fiber core wire 1 is gripped by the upstream linear body gripping means 11,
The linear body cutting mechanism 12 advances between the linear body take-off roller 7 and the guide means 4 to cut the optical fiber core wire 1.
The optical fiber core 1 is cut in a state in which the feeding is stopped, and both sides of the cutting position are gripped by the linear body take-up roller 7 and the upstream linear body gripping means 11.
The optical fiber core wire 1 can be reliably cut without damaging it.

The linear body take-off roller 7 is driven again, and the unnecessary portion of the optical fiber core wire 1 is sucked into the negative pressure space 90.
Collected. At this time, the end of the optical fiber core wire 1 on the upstream side is gripped by the upstream linear body gripping means 11, and is securely held without falling off from the linear body passage hole 40. Therefore, the transition to the next step can be performed smoothly.

There has been conventionally known a winding device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-94663, which suctions and recovers after cutting unnecessary portions of a linear body. In this winding device, the linear body to be cut is not sufficiently gripped, and the leading end of the unnecessary portion of the striated body has to be guided without gripping to a place where it is cut and sucked. Cut the linear body that is not gripped, or cut the end of the unnecessary part of the striatum.
It is difficult to guide without grasping to the place to suck,
Such a winding device requires further improvement in performing reliable cutting and collection. However, in the winding device shown in FIG. 1, the optical fiber core wire 1 is cut after grasping both sides of the cutting position, so that the cutting can be surely performed. Further, since the linear body collecting mechanism 9 is arranged close to the downstream side of the linear body taking-off roller 7 also serving as a gripping means, it is possible to easily collect unnecessary portions of the optical fiber core 1. it can.

Further, in the winding device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-286573, the linear body being fed is sharply bent at the edge of the hole and cut by pressing it against the cutter. For this reason, in this winding device, the linear body may be rubbed at the time of cutting, or a large amount of tension may be applied to the linear body, and a good portion of the linear body may be damaged. There is. In the winding device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H5-229736, the linear body that is being fed is cut so as to tear it off. For this reason, in this winding device, there is a possibility that the linear body may be damaged by a large tension acting on the linear body.

As described above, both of the winding devices described in JP-A-2-286573 and JP-A-5-229736 may damage a good portion of the filament, and It is not suitable for cutting the middle of the part or removing unnecessary parts of the striatum. In addition, the wound filament may include a damaged portion. On the contrary,
In the winding device shown in FIG.
Since the optical fiber core 1 is cut in a stopped state, the optical fiber core 1 is not rubbed by the linear body cutting mechanism 12 or a large tension is applied to the optical fiber core 1, and the optical fiber core 1 is not cut. The wire 1 can be reliably cut without damaging it.

Winding frame 6 at the lower end of optical fiber 1
The end of the optical fiber core 1 from which the unnecessary portion is cut and removed is gripped by the upstream linear body gripping means 11 and is guided by the guide means 4.
1 while being inserted through the linear object passage hole 40 of FIG.
It is moved in one direction. If necessary, the moving means 18 is also moved in the directions B and C in FIG. 1 so that the lower end of the cut end of the optical fiber core wire 1 is placed on the peripheral surface of the winding frame 6. Position.

In the terminal fixed label feeding means 13,
The manufacturing information of the optical fiber 1 to be wound is
Printing is performed on the surface of the terminal fixed label 14 by the inkjet head 16. The terminal fixed label 14 on which the manufacturing information is printed is sucked by the elastic pad 15 and the cylinder 1
7 is pressed on the peripheral surface of the take-up winding frame 6 by extension.
The lower end of the optical fiber core wire 1 is located at a position where the terminal fixing label 14 is pressed. Terminal fixed label 1
Since the adhesive layer is formed on the back surface of the optical fiber 4, the lower opening of the optical fiber core wire 1 is fixed on the peripheral surface of the winding frame 6.

Since the elastic pad 15 for pressing the terminal fixing label 14 onto the peripheral surface of the winding frame 6 is easily elastically deformed, the terminal fixing label 14 follows the curve of the peripheral surface of the winding frame 6. It can be surely adhered. In addition, unnecessary force does not act on the optical fiber core 1, and the optical fiber core 1 is not damaged. After attaching the terminal fixing label 14 to the elastic pad 15, the cylinder 17 is expanded and contracted and moved to the terminal fixing label feeding means 13 side.

When the lower end of the optical fiber core 1 is fixed to the winding frame 6, the downstream side linear body gripping means 19 is retracted to a position where the above-described series of operations is not hindered. In FIG. 1, the position of the guide means 4 at the time of winding the optical fiber 1 is moved to the upstream side for easy understanding of the entire configuration. The position 4 is near the winding position P as shown in FIG.

As in the winding device described in JP-A-59-74863, there is a winding device in which the lower opening of the linear body is wound without being fixed to a winding frame such as a bobbin. In this winding device, the linear body is pressed against the winding frame to form a winding habit,
Winding is performed by frictional resistance between the linear body and the winding frame. Therefore, when the coefficient of friction between the surface of the striated body and the surface of the winding frame is small, the linear body may be displaced due to the tension applied to the linear body during winding, and may not be wound normally. there were. However, in the winding device shown in FIG. 1, the lower end of the optical fiber core 1 is fixed to the winding frame 6, so that the optical fiber core 1 can be reliably wound.

Further, in the winding device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-286573, the reel is fed out using a hole formed in a flange portion of the winding frame or a clip formed inside the flange portion. Hook the linear body while it is in place. Further, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication
Also in the winding device described in Japanese Patent No. 229736, the linear member being fed out is hooked and fixed by using a supplementary claw formed inside the collar portion of the winding frame. In these winding devices, a large amount of tension is applied to the linear body when hooking, so that the linear body may be damaged.
However, in the winding device shown in FIG. 1, since the lower end of the optical fiber core 1 from which the feeding is stopped is fixed by the terminal fixing label 14, the optical fiber core 1 is reliably taken up by the winding frame. 6 can be fixed.

Winding of the Good Part of the Optical Fiber 1 When the optical fiber 1 is wound, as shown in FIG. 4, the guide means 4 is located near the winding position P, and the distance L is shortened. . Since the optical fiber core 1 is reliably guided in the linear body passage hole 40 of the guide means 4, the distance L is shortened to prevent the optical fiber core 1 from swaying. The turbulence of the fiber core wire 1 can be effectively suppressed.

The outgoing direction D of the linear object passage hole 40 is
As shown in FIG. 4, the winding frame 6 is directed more toward the rotation axis O than the winding position P. In this way, the optical fiber core 1 is pressed onto the winding peripheral surface at the winding position P, so that the optical fiber core 1 is hardly displaced on the winding peripheral surface, and the winding of the optical fiber core 1 is performed. Disturbance is effectively suppressed. The angle α in FIG. 4 is adjusted to an optimum angle in consideration of the tension applied to the optical fiber 1 and the bending rigidity inherent to the optical fiber 1.

When the winding frame 6 is rotated, the optical fiber
Is being wound up. At this time, the guide means 4 guides the optical fiber core 1 while moving the moving means 18 in FIG.
It is moved in the middle A direction, and guides the optical fiber core wire 1 so that it is wound neatly on the winding peripheral surface. Also, the optical fiber core 1 is connected to one of the flange portions 61 of the winding frame 6.
After being wound from the side to the other flange portion 62 side, the winding diameter increases. Therefore, the position of the guide unit 4 is moved by the moving unit 18 in synchronization with the increase in the winding diameter. The moving direction of the guide means 4 synchronized with the increase in the winding diameter will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the guide means 4
The winding position P is moved in parallel with the radial direction E so that the winding position P moves in the radial direction E of the winding frame 6. The movement amount at this time is an amount corresponding to the increase in the winding diameter. At this time, it is preferable that the distance L between the winding position P and the exit side of the linear object passage hole 40 is kept constant. When the guide means 4 is moved in this manner, the winding position P does not fluctuate in the circumferential direction. As a result, the optical fiber core wire 1 can be wound in a stable state, and winding disturbance is effectively suppressed. be able to.

Further, the winding state of the optical fiber 1 is stable, the winding diameter becomes uniform at any position, and does not change when the winding frame 6 is rotated. The tension fluctuation applied periodically is eliminated, and the winding speed of the optical fiber core wire 1 can be increased. Further, if the winding state is stable, there is an advantage that the monitoring operation becomes unnecessary, and thus automation can be easily performed.

As described above, the guide means 4 is combined and moved in the direction A in FIG. 1 and in the radial direction E in FIG. This movement will be briefly described.
Is moved in the direction A in FIG. 1 from one side of the flange 61 to the side of the other flange 62 in synchronization with the winding of the optical fiber core 1, and is wound when it reaches the side of the other flange 62. It is moved in the radial direction E in FIG. 5 in synchronization with the increase in the diameter. Next, in synchronization with the winding of the optical fiber 1, the guide means 4 moves from the other flange 62 side to the one flange 61 side in FIG.
Direction, and when it reaches one flange 61 side,
It is moved in the direction of E in FIG. 5 in synchronization with the increase in the winding diameter.
By repeating this operation, the optical fiber core 1
Is wound around the winding frame 6.

Winding frame 6 at the upper end of optical fiber 1
When a predetermined amount of the optical fiber core wire 1 is wound on the winding frame 6, the rotation of the winding frame 6 is stopped and the guide means 4 is moved by the moving means 18 in the direction B in FIG. Evacuated to the side.
Next, the optical fiber core wire 1 is gripped by the upstream linear body gripping means 11 and the downstream linear body gripping means 19. The linear body cutting mechanism 12 is advanced between the guide unit 4 and the downstream side linear body gripping unit 19 to cut the optical fiber 1. The feeding of the optical fiber core 1 is stopped in a state where both sides of the cutting position are gripped by the upstream linear body gripping means 11 and the downstream linear body gripping means 19 and both ends of the portion to be cut are gripped. And cut it,
The optical fiber core wire 1 can be reliably cut.

Even when the optical fiber core 1 is cut, the upstream optical fiber core 1 is gripped by the upstream linear body gripping means 11 and inserted through the linear body passage hole 40. For this reason, the transition to the winding process to the next winding frame 6 can be smoothly performed. Further, since the downstream optical fiber core wire 1 is gripped by the downstream linear body gripping means 19, the portion already wound on the winding frame 6 does not become loose.

In this state, the terminal fixing label 14 is attached to the upper opening of the optical fiber core 1 and the optical fiber 1
The upper opening is fixed. The step of fixing the upper opening of the optical fiber core 1 is the same as the fixing of the lower opening of the optical fiber core 1 described above. The same applies to the case where manufacturing information is printed on the terminal fixed label 14. Since the terminal fixing label 14 is attached at a position where it can be easily seen, the manufacturing information of the optical fiber 1 wound around the winding frame 6 can be easily confirmed. After fixing the upper opening of the optical fiber core 1 with the terminal fixing label 14, the downstream side linear body gripping means 19 is opened.

Normally, the optical fiber core 1 is surely cut by the linear body cutting mechanism 12.
In the case where the nippers as above have caused blade spillage due to repeated use, the optical fiber core wire 1 may not be reliably cut. Whether or not the optical fiber core 1 has been reliably cut is determined by applying a weak torque to the winding frame 6 so as not to cause an abnormality in the optical fiber core 1 and rotating the winding frame 6. Can be determined by detecting
If the rotation angle is equal to or smaller than the specified value, it is determined that the optical fiber core wire 1 has not been reliably cut, and the linear body cutting mechanism 12 is determined.
To try again, or to cut manually.

Replacement of the take-up reel 6 The take-up reel 6 whose winding has been completed is placed on the trolley 23 which has been retracted at the time of reeling, and the other reels 6 to be newly reeled up. Exchanged with The lower end of the optical fiber core wire 1 is fixed to the take-up winding frame 6 to be newly wound in the same manner as described above.
