Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a stopper for a cable drum. [Background technology]

[0002] In general, a long member such as a cable is stored and transported in a state in which it is wound in a coil shape around a cable drum (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Patent Document 1 describes an OF cable drum for winding a cable into a coil shape. The OF cable drum described in Patent Document 1 has a body, a pair of flanges, and a pair of rotation prevention stoppers. The body is formed in a columnar shape, and circular flanges are disposed on both ends. In addition, rotation prevention stoppers for preventing rotation of the OF cable drum are disposed on the outer periphery of the flanges. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-166223 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Cable drums such as those described in Patent Document 1 are stored and transported side by side. When arranging multiple cable drums side by side, if the distance between two adjacent cable drums is too small, a worker's hand may be pinched. On the other hand, if the distance between two adjacent cable drums is too large, the number of cable drums that can be stored in a storage area will be reduced.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a stopper for a cable drum for positioning the cable drum at regular intervals while preventing the cable drum from rolling. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problem, according to one aspect of the present invention, A stopper for a cable drum, comprising: a blocking portion for contacting a flange of the cable drum to block the rolling of the cable drum; a spacing portion disposed between the flanges of the two cable drums for spacing the two cable drums apart; A stopper having a Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, the cable drums can be arranged at regular intervals while preventing the cable drums from rolling. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a state in which a stopper according to an embodiment of the present invention is used. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a stopper according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A stopper according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0011] (Stopper configuration) Fig. 1 is a diagram for explaining a state in which a stopper 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the stopper 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0012] 1, the stopper 10 is used for a plurality of cable drums 20 arranged side by side in a first direction D1. In the following description, the arrangement direction of the plurality of cable drums 20 (the direction along which the rotation axes of the cable drums 20 run) is defined as the first direction D1, the direction perpendicular to the first direction D1 in a plan view (the direction in which the cable drums 20 can roll) is defined as the second direction D2, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 (height direction) is defined as the third direction D3.

[0013] The cable drum 20 has a body 21 and a pair of flanges 22. The body 21 is cylindrical, and a flange 22 is disposed at each end. Each of the pair of flanges 22 is circular. A cable 23 is wound around the body 21, and the pair of flanges 22 define an area for winding the cable 23. The size of the cable drum 20 is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected depending on the application. For example, the length of the body 21 (the distance between the flanges 22) is about 600 mm, the thickness of the body 21 is about 500 to 600 mm, and the diameter of the flanges 22 is about 910 to 1150 mm.

[0014] The stopper 10 abuts against the flanges 22 of the two cable drums 20 to prevent the two cable drums 20 from rolling, and separates the two adjacent cable drums 20. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the stopper 10 has a blocking portion 11 and a separating portion 12. The material of the stopper 10 is not particularly limited as long as it has a strength sufficient to prevent the stopper 10 from being crushed by the cable drum 20. Examples of the material of the stopper 10 include wood, resin, and metal. From the viewpoint of easy handling and inexpensive manufacture, the stopper 10 is preferably made of wood. The stopper 10 may be formed as an integral body, or may be formed by combining a plurality of members. In this embodiment, the stopper 10 is formed by combining the blocking portion 11 and the separating portion 12 (the first separating portion 13 and the second separating portion 14) formed as separate members.

[0015] The blocking portion 11 abuts against the flanges 22 of the two cable drums 20 to prevent the two cable drums 20 from rolling (rotating). The shape of the blocking portion 11 is not particularly limited as long as it can perform the above function. In the present embodiment, the blocking portion 11 is rectangular parallelepiped, but may have an inclined surface or a curved surface along the outer edge of the flange 22 to increase the contact area with the flange 22. The height of the blocking portion 11 is not particularly limited as long as it can perform the above function, and is appropriately set according to the size of the cable drum 20, etc. For example, if it is desired to allow the cable drum 20 to roll without moving the stopper 10, the height of the blocking portion 11 is set to a height that can prevent the cable drum 20 from rolling in a normal state, but can be overcome by the cable drum 20 when a force is applied to the cable drum 20 from the outside. On the other hand, if it is desired to prevent the cable drum 20 from rolling without moving the stopper 10, the height of the blocking portion 11 is set to a height that cannot be overcome by the cable drum 20. The size of the blocking portion 11 is, for example, 350 mm in width (length in the first direction D1), 90 mm in length (length in the second direction D2), and 35 mm in height (length in the third direction D3). A first spaced portion 13 is connected to the back surface of the blocking portion 11 (surface on the cable drum 20 side), and a second spaced portion 14 is connected to the upper surface of the blocking portion 11.

[0016] The spacing portion 12 is a portion disposed between two adjacent cable drums 20, and separates the two adjacent cable drums 20. The configuration of the spacing portion 12 is not particularly limited as long as it can perform the above-mentioned function. The width (length in the first direction D1) of the spacing portion 12 is not particularly limited and is appropriately set according to the desired interval between two adjacent cable drums 20. For example, the width of the spacing portion 12 is within a range of 10 to 15 cm. In this embodiment, the spacing portion 12 has a first spacing portion 13 disposed at the same height as the blocking portion 11, and a second spacing portion 14 disposed at a position higher than the blocking portion 11.

[0017] The first separating portion 13 is connected to the back surface (surface on the cable drum 20 side) of the blocking portion 11 and extends in the second direction D2 (direction parallel to the flange 22). The first separating portion 13, together with the second separating portion 14, is disposed between adjacent cable drums 20, and prevents the cable drums 20 from approaching each other more than a certain distance. The shape of the first separating portion 13 is not particularly limited as long as it can perform the above-mentioned function. In this embodiment, the first separating portion 13 is rectangular parallelepiped-shaped. The size of the first separating portion 13 is, for example, 150 mm in width (length in the first direction D1), 120 mm in length (length in the second direction D2), and 35 mm in height (length in the third direction D3).

[0018] The second separating portion 14 is connected to the upper surface of the blocking portion 11 and the upper surface of the first separating portion 13, and extends in the second direction D2 (a direction parallel to the flange 22). The second separating portion 14, together with the first separating portion 13, is disposed between the adjacent cable drums 20, and prevents the cable drums 20 from approaching each other more than a certain distance. The second separating portion 14 also prevents the adjacent cable drums 20 from approaching each other more than a certain distance even when the cable drum 20 climbs over the blocking portion 11. Furthermore, the second separating portion 14 also prevents the cable drum 20 from tilting. The shape of the second separating portion 14 is not particularly limited as long as it can perform the above-mentioned functions. In this embodiment, the second separating portion 14 is a rectangular parallelepiped. The size of the second separating portion 14 is, for example, 150 mm in width (length in the first direction D1), 120 mm in length (length in the second direction D2), and 35 mm in height (length in the third direction D3). In this example, the first spaced portion 13 and the second spaced portion 14 are the same size, but the second spaced portion 14 is positioned closer to the front than the first spaced portion 13 by the width of the blocking portion 11 (the length in the second direction D2).

[0019] Here, a method of using the stopper 10 will be described. For example, the stopper 10 is used after the cable drum 20 is placed. Specifically, the stopper 10 is used for the cable drums 20 placed at a fixed interval (here, 12 cm or more). The worker places the stopper 10 on the surface (for example, the ground) on which the cable drums 20 are placed, and pushes it between the cable drums 20 by sliding it with his foot. At this time, the blocking portion 11 enters between the flange 22 and the ground, and the separating portion 12 enters between the two adjacent cable drums 20. When removing the stopper 10, it is sufficient to pull out the stopper 10 by sliding it with his foot. This makes it possible to prevent the cable drum 20 from rolling and to keep the two cable drums 20 at a fixed distance. In addition, since the worker can place and remove the stopper 10 by foot, the operation is easy.

[0020] Alternatively, for example, the stopper 10 is used before placing the cable drum 20. Specifically, the worker places the stopper 10 on a surface (e.g., the ground) on which the cable drum 20 will be placed. Next, the cable drum 20 is placed so that it climbs over the right side (left side) of the blocking part 11. The other cable drum 20 is placed so that it climbs over the left side (right side) of the blocking part 11. This makes it possible to prevent the cable drum 20 from rolling and to keep the two cable drums 20 at a constant distance from each other.

[0021] (effect) As described above, according to this embodiment, since the stopper 10 has the blocking portion 11 and the separating portion 12, the cable drums 20 can be arranged at regular intervals while preventing the cable drums 20 from rolling. [Industrial Applicability]

[0022] The stopper of the present invention is useful when storing and transporting multiple cable drums. [Explanation of symbols]
