SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF TUBE DEPLOYMENT SPOOL ADAPTER SHAFTS

Description

Techniques for implementing a tube deployment system that includes a tube reel, wherein the tube reel includes reel ends and a reel drum, and the tube reel allows a tube segment to be wound onto the reel drum. The tube deployment system includes a brake assembly with a brake wheel having a keyed shaft fitting with flat inner surfaces, and a shaft adapter assembly, which includes an adapter head for coupling between the tube reel and the brake assembly.THE ADAPTER HEAD INCLUDES A KEYED ADAPTER SHAFT WITH FLAT OUTER SURFACES, WHEREIN THE ADAPTER SHAFT IS COUPLED TO THE SHAFT RECESS AND PARTIALLY INSERTED THROUGH A SPOOL END OF THE TUBE SPOOL, AND A ROTATION CONTROL PIN COUPLED TO THE ADAPTER SHAFT, WHEREIN THE ROTATION CONTROL PIN IS INSERTED BETWEEN ADJACENT SPOOL RADII ON THE SPOOL END OF THE TUBE SPOOL.
