[Figure 4]FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which the linear body advances from the provisional winding portion to the final winding portion. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, a partitioned winding drum according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0012] Fig. 1A shows a perspective view of a partitioned winding drum 100. As shown in Fig. 1A, the partitioned winding drum 100 includes a winding drum 200 and a winding drum partition installation tool 300.

[0013] The partitioned winding drum 100 can be obtained by attaching a winding drum partition installation tool 300 to the winding drum 200. Specifically, the partitioned winding drum 100 can be obtained by attaching the winding drum partition installation tool 300 to the winding body 210 of the winding drum 200 in a winding manner. In the obtained partitioned winding drum 100, the winding body 210 of the winding drum 200 is partitioned into a provisional winding portion 110a and a final winding portion 110b.

[0014] FIG. 1B shows a state in which linear body 10 (optical fiber in this embodiment) is wound around partitioned winding drum 100 as described above.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 1B, linear body 10 is wound slightly around temporary winding portion 110a of partitioned winding drum 100 so that one end of linear body 10 is exposed on the surface. This exposes one end of linear body 10 at temporary winding portion 110a, making it easier to access. In this embodiment, optical connector 20 is attached to one end of exposed linear body 10 (optical fiber). In Fig. 1B, one end of linear body 10 and optical connector 20 are protected by thick protective hose 30.

[0016] Meanwhile, in the main winding section 110b of the partitioned winding drum 100, most of the remaining linear body 10 is wound, and the other end of the linear body 10 is exposed on the surface of the main winding section 110b, making it easier to access. In this embodiment, an optical connector 20 is also attached to the exposed other end. Note that, even in the main winding section 110b, the other end of the linear body 10 and the optical connector 20 are protected by a thick protective hose 30. Furthermore, the linear body 10 is not particularly limited as long as it is linear. Examples of the linear body 10 include optical fibers, electric wires, etc.

[0017] The components of the partitioned winding drum 100, that is, the winding drum 200 and the winding drum partition installation tool 300, will be described below.

[0018] (winding drum) Fig. 2A shows a perspective view of the winding drum 200. As shown in Fig. 2A, the winding drum 200 has a winding body 210 and flange portions 220a and 220b.

[0019] The winding drum 210 is a portion around which the linear body 10 and the winding drum partition installation tool 300 are wound. The winding drum 210 is substantially columnar or cylindrical, and flanges 220a, 220b are attached to both ends. The circumferential length of the winding drum 210 and the length in the width direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction are not particularly limited, and may be set appropriately depending on the thickness, length, etc. of the linear body 10 to be wound. The material of the winding drum 210 is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the material of the winding drum 210 is wood. The material of the winding drum 210 may also be resin or metal.

[0020] The flanges 220a, 220b are attached to both ends of the winding drum 210 and support the linear body 10 wound around the winding drum 210. The flanges 220a, 220b are disk-shaped, and the diameters of the flanges 220a, 220b may be set appropriately according to the thickness, length, etc. of the linear body 10 so as to support the linear body 10 being wound. The material of the flanges 220a, 220b is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the material of the flanges 220a, 220b is wood. The material of the flanges 220a, 220b may also be resin or metal.

[0021] (Winding drum partition installation tool) 2B shows a perspective view seen from the front side of the winding drum partition installation tool 300. As shown in FIG. 2B, the winding drum partition installation tool 300 has a band-shaped body 310 and a plurality of partitions 320.

[0022] The strip 310 is wound around the winding drum 210 of the winding drum 200, and a plurality of partitions 320 are installed on the winding drum 210. The length of the strip 310 may be set appropriately according to the thickness of the winding drum 210. The width of the strip 310 is not particularly limited as long as it is equal to or less than the width of the winding drum 210. In this embodiment, the width of the strip 310 is set so that it is approximately the same as the width of the provisionally wound portion 110a when the strip 310 is wound around the winding drum 210 so that the end of the strip 310 in the width direction contacts the flange portion 220a. That is, in this embodiment, the width of the strip 310 functions as a spacer for determining the width of the provisionally wound portion 110a. The width of the strip 310 may be set to be the width of the main winding portion 110b. The strip 310 may not function as a spacer and may be wound around any position on the winding drum 210. By winding the wire at any desired position on the winding drum 210, the width of the provisionally wound portion 110a and the width of the final winding portion 110b can be set as desired. The material of the strip 310 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the material has a strength sufficient to enable the partitions 320 fixed to the strip 310 to stand on their own. In this embodiment, the strip 310 is a thin metal plate, more specifically, a hot-dip 55% aluminum-zinc alloy plated steel plate. The strip 310 may also be a resin plate. As a result, in this embodiment, the multiple partitions 320 fixed to the strip 310 stand on their own.

[0023] The partitioning sections 320 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the strip 310. The partitioning sections 320 divide the winding drum 210 of the winding drum 200 into a provisional winding section 110a and a final winding section 110b (see Figs. 1A and 1B). In this embodiment, the partitioning sections 320 are four in number and arranged to be parallel to one end (long side) of the strip 310 in the short direction. The shape of the partitioning sections 320 is not particularly limited as long as it can function as a partition. In this embodiment, the shape of the partitioning section 320 is substantially rectangular (the winding drum 210 side is arc-shaped) and plate-like. The size of the partitioning section 320 may be appropriately set according to the thickness, length, etc. of the linear body 10 to be wound around the final winding section 110b.

[0024] 3A is a perspective view of the winding drum partition installation tool 300 from the back side, showing a state in which the partitions 320 are fixed to the band 310. In this embodiment, the partitions 320 are fixed to the band 310 using three screw members 31. When the partitions 320 are fixed to the band 310 in advance in this manner, it is possible to easily attach the partitions 320 to the winding drum 200. When the partitions 320 include wood, it is preferable that the screw members 31 have a length that allows them to be screwed deep into the partitions 320 (wood) in order to suppress warping of the wood.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 3B, it is preferable that an L-shaped bracket 32 ​​is fixed to the plurality of partition sections 320 using a screw member 31. This L-shaped bracket 32 ​​is used to fix the winding drum partition installation tool 300 to the winding drum 210 of the winding drum 200. In this embodiment, the L-shaped bracket 32 ​​is fixed to the winding drum 210 of the winding drum 200 by using the screw member 31 (see Fig. 1A). In this embodiment, the plurality of through holes (see Fig. 3A) provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the strip 310 are also used to fix the winding drum partition installation tool 300 to the winding drum 210 using the screw member 31.

[0026] By using the screw member 31 in this manner, the winding drum partition installation device 300 can be made detachable from the winding drum 210. The partition portion 320 can also be made detachable from the strip 310. If the screw member 31 is made detachable, after use of the partitioned winding drum 100, the winding drum partition installation tool 300 can be removed, and the partition section 320 can be removed, allowing reuse and recycling. In addition, the normal winding drum 200 from which the winding drum partition installation tool 300 has been removed can be easily collected by a specialized collection company. In this embodiment, the screw member 31 is specifically a tapping screw.

[0027] In the above, an example of using the L-shaped bracket 32 ​​and the screw member 31 has been described as an example of a detachable configuration, but the manner of the detachable configuration is not limited to this, and any known detachable configuration (such as a known fastener) can be adopted as appropriate.

[0028] 3B, it is preferable that the plurality of partitions 320 are arranged so as to protrude from one end of the strip 310 in the short direction of the strip 310. By arranging the partitions 320 in this manner, the linear body 10 being wound around the strip 310 is prevented from being damaged by the edge of the strip 310, which may be a metal plate or the like and may be sharp (see FIGS. 1A and 1B).

[0029] 3C, in winding drum partition installation device 300 (winding drum 100 with partition), protective sheet 330 may be placed on strip 310. Protective sheet 330 can prevent contact between linear body 10 being wound around winding drum 210 and strip 310, thereby preventing linear body 10 being wound from being damaged by strip 310, L bracket 32, etc.

[0030] The intervals between the multiple partitioning parts 320 may be equal, but it is preferable that at least one of the intervals is wider than the others. As shown in Fig. 4, the gaps between the multiple partitioning parts 320 serve as paths for linear body 10 to advance from temporary winding part 110a to final winding part 110b. Therefore, when the intervals are wider, linear body 10 can advance at a small angle of advance. This makes it possible to prevent an increase in damage caused by bending of linear body 10 accompanying the transition from temporary winding part 110a to final winding part 110b.

[0031] (effect) According to the winding drum partition installation tool 300 of this embodiment, a partition can be easily installed on the winding drum 200. [Industrial Applicability]

[0032] The winding drum partition installation tool according to the present invention is useful for installing a partition on a winding drum. [Explanation of symbols]
