Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates mainly to a drum stand for underground power transmission cables and a method for mounting a cable drum using the drum stand on the loading platform of a transport vehicle such as a truck. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional cables for underground power transmission lines are wound onto drums at the electric wire manufacturer's factory, and the cable drums are then placed on a mounting device attached to a transport vehicle of a transportation company arranged by the electric wire manufacturer, and the cable drums are transported to the construction site. At the construction site, the cables are then unwound from the drum mounting device attached to the transport vehicle and buried underground.

[0003] On the other hand, if the construction site is far away or construction cannot begin immediately, the cable drum is temporarily lowered and stored at a storage facility close to the construction site. In this case, a crane at the storage facility is used to lower the cable drum from the vehicle, or the crane is used to lift the cable drum so that it can be loaded onto another vehicle. In addition, the storage facility may be a rental warehouse, which may have a ceiling and cannot use a crawler crane.

[0004] Patent Document 1 shows an example of this, and Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the situation where a drum carrier 1, with a cable drum 2 mounted thereon, is loaded onto a transport vehicle such as a truck.The document describes that when loading the cable drum 2 onto the drum carrier 1, a crane CR mounted on the transport vehicle such as a truck is used to first lift up the cable drum 2 together with the drum support member 3 by attaching a wire W to it, and then lowering it and setting it on the drum carrier 1.Once the setting is complete, the crane can be used to lift up the entire drum carrier 1, and it can then be loaded onto the transport vehicle as is.

[0005] Furthermore, the "container device for transporting rehabilitated pipes" in Patent Document 2 is not a cable drum stand, but it discloses a configuration in which, when a rehabilitated pipe wrapped around a drum is transported by a truck, the rehabilitated pipe wrapped around the drum is hoisted by a crane and mounted on a drum stand installed on the bed of the truck, as shown in Figure 9. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3143128 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-203341 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the need to use a crane to lift and lower cable drums, drum stands, etc. onto transport vehicles such as trucks is a time-consuming task, and in places where there is no crane equipment, the cable drums and drum stands cannot be loaded onto or unloaded from transport vehicles, which is inconvenient.

[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a drum stand that allows a forklift to be used to load or unload cable drums or drum stands onto or from a transport vehicle, and a method for loading cable drums onto a transport vehicle using the drum stand. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The invention of claim 1 is a drum stand that rotatably supports a cable drum, in which side frames stand up from a pair of opposing end edges of a quadrilateral base frame, one side frame being a fixed side frame and the other a movable side frame, the lower end of the movable side frame being fitted onto a rail provided on the base frame to stand on its own, and being slidable and fixed along the rail, one end of the rail protruding outward from the base frame, a bearing frame that is slidable in the vertical direction is fitted into an upper part of a vertical hole provided in the center of each of the fixed side frame and the movable side frame, and a bearing that supports the drum shaft of the cable drum is provided at the upper end of each bearing frame. Each bearing frame can be moved up and down by a jack installed at the bottom of the vertical hole, and drum support pedestals that support the flanges on both sides of the cable drum in a direction perpendicular to each side frame are installed on the base frame at a distance from each other, in a position where the fixed side frame and the movable side frame are opposed to each other, and one end of a connecting arm that can rotate horizontally is journaled on the upper end of each end of the fixed side frame, and the other end of each connecting arm can be engaged with the upper part of the movable side frame with the movable side frame fixed opposite the fixed frame, and the movable side frame is configured to be movable until the end faces of the two drum support pedestals are exposed.

[0010] In addition, the invention of claim 2 is a drum stand as described in claim 1, in which position-retaining pins are provided at the same height on both sides of the lower part of the vertical holes provided in the center of the fixed side frame and the movable side frame, so that they can freely protrude horizontally into the vertical holes, and when these position-retaining pins on both sides are made to protrude inside the vertical holes, the position-retaining pins hit the lower end surface of the bearing frame, preventing the bearing frame from descending.

[0011] The invention of claim 3 is a drum stand as described in claim 2, which has a gap between both side surfaces of the bearing frame body held so as to be freely movable in the vertical hole in the up and down direction and both inner side surfaces of the vertical hole, and the position maintaining pin is L-shaped, one piece of the L-shape is supported vertically on the inner surface of the vertical hole and the other piece protrudes horizontally and is freely rotatable horizontally around the one piece, and when the other piece is abutted against the inner surface of both sides of the vertical hole, the position maintaining pin is stored in the gap.

[0012] In addition, the invention of claim 4 is a drum stand as described in claim 1, in which the movable side frame can be fixed at a position opposite the fixed side frame and at a position where the movable side frame has moved to expose the end faces of the two drum support bases, and the fixing is achieved by inserting a set pin into a rail through a hole at the lower end of the movable side frame and screwing it into a fixing nut inside the rail.

[0013] The invention of claim 5 is a method for loading a cable drum onto a transport vehicle using the drum stand of claim 1, comprising the steps of: mounting and fixing the drum stand on the bed of the transport vehicle; detaching one end of each of the two connecting arms from the movable side frame body and rotating and opening them toward the fixed side frame body; moving the movable side frame body along the rail until the end faces of the two drum receiving bases are exposed; fixing the movable side frame body at this point; passing a drum shaft through a cable drum placed on the ground; fixing the ends of the drum shaft so that they protrude from both sides of the cable drum; The method for loading a cable drum onto a transport vehicle involves placing the two flanges of the cable drum on the claws of a forklift, lifting the cable drum in this state, moving the forklift to place the flanges of the cable drum on two drum supports of a cable stand placed on the bed of the transport vehicle, removing the claws of the forklift from the flanges of the cable drum, moving the movable side frame along the rails, fixing the movable side frame at a position opposite the fixed side frame, and then engaging one end of each of the two connecting arms with the upper end of the movable side frame. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the inventions of claims 1 and 5, when a cable drum is unloaded from a transport vehicle or when the cable drum is mounted on a drum stand on a transport vehicle, the cable drum has conventionally been lifted up with a crane, but it is now possible to unload the cable drum from the transport vehicle with a forklift without using such a crane, or to load the cable drum onto the drum stand by placing the drum stand on the transport vehicle in advance.

[0015] Furthermore, compared to crane devices, forklifts are widely used in factory premises, material storage areas, and other locations. This allows for a wider range of locations for loading and unloading cable drums onto transport vehicles. Furthermore, the drum stand has side frames on both sides, which are connected by connecting arms, surrounding the cable drum on all four sides and providing strong support for the cable drum. This contributes to the installation of cable access lines to renewable energy facilities over long distances.

[0016] Furthermore, according to the invention of claim 2, the position of the bearing frame can be reliably maintained within the vertical hole by a position-maintaining pin without relying on the force of the jack, and the jack can be easily replaced within the vertical hole and the height of the jack can be adjusted to match the outer diameter of the cable drum.

[0017] Furthermore, according to the invention of claim 3, the position-retaining pin can be freely protruded into the vertical hole simply by turning it, and when not in use, the position-retaining pin is stored in the gap when it is abutted against the inner sides of both sides of the vertical hole, so that in this state the bearing frame can slide up and down and does not get in the way of work.

[0018] Furthermore, according to the invention of claim 4, the movable side frame can be reliably fixed in a fixed position, which contributes to improving work efficiency. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 15] 1 is a plan view of a cable drum in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, with the drum stand mounted on a transport vehicle. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] (Embodiment Example 1) A drum stand A for a cable drum B according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11. FIG.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the basic structure of the drum stand A for this cable drum B is such that side frames stand up from a pair of opposing end edges of a quadrilateral base frame 1, one of which is a fixed side frame 2 and the other a movable side frame 3. The lower end of the movable side frame 3 fits into rails 4 provided on the base frame 1, making it self-standing and allowing it to slide and be fixed along the rails 4. One end of the rail 4 protrudes outward from the base frame 1, as shown in Figure 4. The movable side frame 3 is movable on the rails 4 until the end faces of two drum cradles 9, which will be described later, are exposed.

[0022] A vertical hole 5 is drilled downward from the upper end of each side frame at the center of each of the fixed side frame 2 and the movable side frame 3, and edge pillars 5a are provided on both sides of the vertical hole 5. A bearing frame 6 is supported on both sides by these edge pillars 5a and is fitted into the vertical hole 5 so that it can slide up and down. A bearing 7 that supports the shaft of a cable drum is provided at the upper end of each bearing frame 6, and each bearing frame 7 can be moved up and down by a jack 8 provided below each vertical hole 5. The jack 8 can be operated manually or by an appropriate device such as a hydraulic pump.

[0023] Furthermore, drum receiving pedestals 9 that support the flanges on both sides of the cable drum B in a direction perpendicular to the side frames 2, 3 are provided at intervals on the base frame 1 at a position where the fixed side frame 2 and the movable side frame 3 face each other. Furthermore, flat cable protection plates 10 are provided on the base frame 1 inside the drum receiving pedestals 9 on both sides.

[0024] In addition, one end of a connecting arm 11 that is hook-shaped in plan view and can rotate horizontally is journaled at the upper part of one end of the fixed side frame 2, and one end of a rod-shaped connecting arm 12 that can rotate horizontally is journaled at the upper part of the other end of the fixed side frame 2, and the other ends of the connecting arms 11, 12 can be freely engaged with the upper part of both ends of the movable side frame 3 when the movable side frame 3 is fixed opposite the fixed side frame 2.

[0025] The drum stand A is constructed as described above, with the movable side frame 3 fixed opposite to the fixed movable frame 2, and both ends of the fixed side frame 2 and the movable side frame 3 connected by connecting arms 11, 12, and both ends of the drum shaft C passed through the center hole of the cable drum B are fitted into the bearings 7 of the side frames 2, 3 to support the cable drum B, and by lifting the bearing frames 6 with the jacks 8 and lifting the flanges on both sides of the cable drum B from the drum support 9, a cable (not shown) that has been wound around the cable drum B in advance can be paid out. It is also possible to wind a cable around the cable drum B.

[0026] Next, the partial structure of this drum stand A will be described in detail. Figure 6 shows how the lower end of the movable side frame 3 fits into the rail 4. A rail support 13, a substantially horizontal H-shaped steel beam, is fixed to the lower end of the movable side frame 3. The rail 4 is constructed by two opposing vertical walls 4a erected on the base frame 1, spaced apart to accommodate the rail support 13. Rotating rollers 4b protrude from the inside of each vertical wall 4a at opposing positions, and these rotating rollers 4b are fitted into grooves on both sides of the substantially horizontal H-shaped steel beam of the rail support 13. A plurality of pairs of rotating rollers 4b are provided at intervals along the length of the rail 4, allowing the movable side frame 3 to stand independently on the rail 4 and slide freely. The rail support 13 protrudes a certain length from one end of the movable side frame 3, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

[0027] 7, the means for fixing the movable side frame 3 in a position where it faces the fixed side frame 2 and in a position where the movable side frame 3 is slid and the end faces of the two drum receiving bases 9 are exposed is configured such that a set pin 14 is inserted into a through hole 13a drilled in the upper plate of the rail support 13 and its lower end is fitted into a hole in a pin receiving base 15 provided in the bottom part (base frame 1) of the rail 4 below the through hole 13a. Note that the lower end of this set pin 14 may be an outer peripheral screw that is screwed into an inner peripheral screw provided in the hole in the pin receiving base 15.

[0028] The movable side frame 3 is fixed in a position facing the fixed side frame 2 by fixing it at two points with the set pins 14, and the movable side frame 3 is slid to fix it in a position where the end faces of the two drum receiving bases 9 are exposed by fixing it at one point with the set pin 14.

[0029] 8, the bearing frame 6, which slides up and down within the vertical hole 5, has its opposite edges supported by supports 16 provided at two locations, one above and one below, on the inside surface of the upper parts of the edge pillars 5a on both sides of the vertical hole 5, with a small gap S between the opposite edges of the bearing frame 6 and each edge pillar 5a. Position-retaining pins 17 are provided at two locations, one above and one below, on the inside surface of the lower part of each edge pillar 5a so as to be able to protrude into the vertical hole 5.

[0030] Each of the upper and lower position-retaining pins 17 is roughly L-shaped, with one end supported vertically by a bearing provided on the inner surface of the edge post 5a and the other end protruding horizontally and freely rotatable horizontally around the one end. When in use, the other end can protrude into the vertical hole 5, and when not in use, the other end can be abutted against the edge post 5a.

[0031] As a result, as shown in Figure 8(a), when the bearing frame 6 is lifted upward within the vertical hole 5 and the other piece of the position-retaining pin 17 located at the top is caused to protrude into the vertical hole 5, the position-retaining pins 17 on both sides come into contact with the lower end of the bearing frame 6, thereby supporting the bearing frame 6. This holds the bearing frame 6 in that position. Also, as shown in Figure 8(b), when the bearing frame 6 is held by the position-retaining pins 17 on both sides located at the bottom, the position-retaining pins 17 on both sides located at the top can be rotated horizontally from their protruding state and narrowed so that they can be accommodated within the gaps S between the side edges of the bearing frame 6 and each end column 5a.

[0032] 9, the position maintaining pin 17 may also be a rod-shaped position maintaining pin 18. When in use, this position maintaining pin 18 can be inserted into a horizontal through-hole 19 formed in the edge column 5a with its tip protruding into the vertical hole 5, thereby supporting the bearing frame 6. When not in use, the position maintaining pin 18 can be simply removed from the horizontal through-hole 19. Furthermore, if a plurality of horizontal through-holes 19 are formed in the vertical direction, and the bearing frame 6 is to be held in a desired position, an appropriate position can be selected from the plurality of horizontal through-holes 19, and the position maintaining pin 18 can be inserted and protrude into the vertical hole 5.

[0033] In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a raising platform inserted under the jack 8, and when the supporting cable drum B has a large diameter, the raising platform 20 can be used to raise the jack 8. When not needed, the raising platform 20 can be removed. The raising platform 20 is not necessary if the stroke of the jack 8 is lengthened, but if the stroke of the jack 8 is lengthened, there is a risk that the jack 8 will bend due to buckling. To avoid this, the raising platform 20 is used to shorten the stroke, preventing buckling.

[0034] 10, the structure for freely engaging the upper ends of the movable side frame 3 with the other ends of the connecting arms 11 or 12 is such that a locking piece 3a projects horizontally from one end of the movable side frame 3, and a pair of upper and lower locking pieces 11a, 12a project horizontally from the other ends of the connecting arms 11, 12. When engaging, the locking piece 3a is placed between the pair of upper and lower locking pieces 11a or 12a, and tapered pins 3b are inserted into holes (not shown) provided in the locking pieces 3a and 11a or 12a, thereby achieving engagement. This tapered pin structure makes it difficult for play to occur during engagement, and the connecting arms 11, 12 are less likely to be deformed by play.

[0035] When the drum stand A is placed and fixed on the loading platform of a transport vehicle D and a cable drum B is to be attached to the drum stand A, the two set pins 14 on the inside of the movable side frame 3 are removed from the pin receiving bases 15 while the movable side frame 3 and the fixed side frame 2 are facing each other, and the set pins 14 are removed from the movable side frame 3.

[0036] Then, the movable side frame 3 is slid along the rail 4 and opened until the end faces of the two drum receiving bases 9 are exposed, as shown in Figures 11 and 12 (however, the transport vehicle D is not shown). In this state, as shown in Figure 11, the set pin 14 is inserted into the through hole 13a of the rail receiver 13 and inserted into the pin receiving base 15 of the rail 4, thereby fixing the movable side frame 3.

[0037] 13, the cable drum B, to which the drum shaft C has already been attached, is placed on the two tines of a forklift E, which is then transported and moved to the side of the drum stand A on the loading platform of the transport vehicle D, and the two tines of the forklift E are inserted between the two drum receiving cradles 9 of the drum stand A, and the two tines are lowered so that the flanges of the cable drum B rest on the two drum receiving cradles 9. Then, the forklift E is moved away from the side of the transport vehicle D to another location.

[0038] Then, the set pins 14 are removed and the movable side frame 3 is slid to face the fixed side frame 2, and in this position the movable side frame 3 is fixed to the rails 4 with the two set pins 14, and the tips of the connecting arms 11 and 12 are engaged and fixed to the upper ends of the movable side frame 3. Thereafter, the jacks 8 are operated to synchronously raise the bearing frames 6 of the fixed side frame 2 and the movable side frame 3, and the bearings 7 support the drum shafts C protruding from both sides of the cable drum B.

[0039] When the transport vehicle D is operated to move the cable drum B together with the drum stand A, the flange of the cable drum B is placed on the two drum support cradles 9 in this state, and a rope is hung from above the cable drum B to secure the cable drum B to the drum stand A. After the cable drum B has been attached to the drum stand A, when the cable is to be paid out from the cable drum B at that location, the jack 8 is operated to synchronously raise the bearing frames 6 on both sides, thereby lifting the flange of the cable drum B off the two drum support cradles 9. This allows the cable drum B to rotate freely, allowing the cable (not shown) to be paid out or reeled in.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, an example was shown in which the drum platform A was placed on the transport vehicle D and the cable was let out, but the drum platform A of this invention can also be used for work such as letting out or winding up a cable on the ground. In addition, the structure for holding the position of the bearing frame and the structure for fixing the movable side frame 3 to the rail are not limited to those of the first embodiment. In addition, the self-supporting structure of the movable side frame 3 relative to the rail 4 and the structure for allowing it to slide and be fixed freely are not limited to those of the first embodiment.
