Abstract

PURPOSE:To store a large quantity of long flexible substance in safe orientation, by a method wherein a means, laminating the long substances such that the long substance is laminated in a 8-shape within a horizontal plane in a state that upper and lower intersection positions of the laminated long substances are displaced from each other. CONSTITUTION:When a long flexible substance 2 is laminated in a 8-shape, intersection positions of the 8-shape are displaced from each other. Thus, the long substance 2 is prevented from rising in the intersection position of the 9-shape, and the long substance 2 is laminated approximately in the same height on the whole. This arrangement enables a large quantity of the long substances 2 to be stored in stable orientation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to devices for storing flexible elongate bodies, such as cables for supplying electrical power or transmitting electrical signals, hoses for transporting fluids, and the like.

BACKGROUND ART Devices for storing such visible elongated bodies in a figure-eight shape in a melon in a horizontal plane are known. By stacking the longitudinal parts in a figure 8 shape, the storage of the longitudinal parts and the drawer supply can be carried out smoothly. The obvious advantage is that it does not require any manual labor.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the prior art in which such elongated bodies are stacked in a figure 8 shape, the intersection positions of the figure 8 shapes of the stacked longitudinal bodies are successively stacked directly above each other. Therefore, when a large amount of elongated bodies are stored, their intersection points swell and become high.
The postures of the stacked longitudinal bodies become unstable, making it easy for them to fall. Therefore, it is not possible to store a large amount of longitudinal bodies.

An object of the present invention is to provide a storage device for flexible elongated bodies that can store a large amount of elongated bodies in a stable posture.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a means for stacking the flexible longitudinal bodies in a figure 8 shape in a horizontal plane while shifting the upper and lower intersection positions of the stacked flexible longitudinal bodies from the storage location. This is a flexible elongated storage device characterized in that a storage device is provided above.

According to the present invention, when the flexible longitudinal bodies are stacked in a figure 8 shape, the intersection positions of the figure 8 shapes are shifted from each other. Therefore, the elongated bodies are prevented from rising up at the figure-8-shaped intersection position, and the elongated bodies are stacked at substantially the same height throughout. This makes it possible to store the whole body in a stable position in the fire.

Example FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention.

In the storage location 1, flexible elongated bodies 2 are stored in a figure-eight shape from bottom to top. A rectangular frame 4 is supported on the storage place 1 by four pillars 3 in a horizontal plane. Frame 4
is a pair of parallel support members 5.6 and another pair of support members 7 of lAl1 connected to these support members 5.6.
．． It consists of 8. The support member 5.6 has rails 9, 10
The base 1 is attached to this rail 9.10.
One wheel 12.13 is mounted on the ice, by means of which the base 11 can be moved along the rail 9.10 in the X direction 14. The second movement in the X direction 14 is performed by a motor 15 attached to the frame-shaped base 11.

The 0 vehicle rr11G to which the trolley 1G is attached to the base 11 has wheels 20.21 that are guided and run on rails 18.19 extending along the Y direction 17 perpendicular to the X direction 14. A motor 22 provided on the bogie 1G drives wheels 20.21, thereby allowing the bogie 1G to travel in the Y direction 17.

A guide means 23 for pulling in or out the elongated body 2 is provided on the trolley 1G. This guide means 23 moves the longitudinal body 2 in its longitudinal direction by sandwiching the longitudinal body 2 between a pair of rollers or an endless belt and rotationally driving at least one of the rollers or the belt. The longitudinal bodies of the section indicated by 2 m can be pulled in and stacked in the storage location 1, and the longitudinal bodies 2 stacked in the storage location 1 can be pulled out and fed.

FIG. fjS2 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. Motor 15.

22 and the guide means 23 are connected to a processing circuit 24 realized by a microcomputer or the like, and are driven by this processing circuit 2.t. l1lJ is controlled.

FIG. 3 is a plan view from above of the elongated body 2 stored in the storage location 1. When stacking the longitudinal bodies 2, the processing circuit 24 pulls the part of the longitudinal bodies indicated by the 8 reference numeral 2a of the 1rM below the trolley 16 using the guide hand ti23, and moves the motors 15 and 22 in the X direction 14.
and the Y direction 17 in relation to each other. fjS

is shifted in the direction 27 opposite to the arrow 2G. In this way, the intersection positions P1 and -P8 are shifted and the cables 2 are stacked in a figure 8 shape, thereby changing their intersection positions. From 1st to P8, the elongated body 2 is prevented from rising. Therefore, it is possible to stack the Lc hands in a stable posture with the height of the Lc hands being approximately average over the entire body. This Jt La (

Figure No. 2 is a simplified back side view showing a state in which the books 2 of the pond according to the embodiment of the present invention are stacked.

In this embodiment, the intersection positions P1 to P28 of the longitudinal bodies 2 stacked in a figure 8 shape are sequentially arranged in the imaginary loop 2.
8 are shifted from each other and stacked. The intersection position of the part of the figure 8-shaped elongated body 2 formed next to the intersection point i?! P8 overlaps the intersection point r11r'i. .

In this way, the height at the intersection of the longitudinal bodies stacked in a figure 8 shape is prevented from rising, and the longitudinal bodies can be stably stored at a substantially uniform height throughout. can.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the longitudinal bodies 2 of another embodiment of the invention are stacked. In this embodiment, the intersection positions of the longitudinal bodies 2 stacked in a figure 8 shape are indicated by reference numbers P1 to P8. As shown, the position is moved by following the positions of the vertices of a virtual rectangle. This prevents the intersection positions r1 to P8 of the longitudinal bodies 2 stacked in a figure 8 shape from rising up. The processing circuit 24 drives and controls the motors 15 and 22 so as to obtain the crossing positions P1 to P8 as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 in FIG.

In the embodiment described above, the cable 2 connects the base 11 and the trolley 1G.
In another embodiment of the present invention, although moved to be stacked in a figure-eight configuration,
Other configurations may also be used to move the stored elongate body 2, such as an arm adapted to retract or take out the elongate body.

The handle 2 may be a flexible elongated body having a cable for supplying power, a cable for transmitting an electric signal, a hose for transporting fluid, or other configurations.

Effects As described above, according to the present invention, the flexible elongated bodies can be stacked in a figure-8 shape, and the intersecting positions of the figure-8-shaped longitudinal bodies are shifted from each other (13). Therefore, the elongated bodies do not stand at the intersecting position and bulge up to become high, and the elongated bodies are stacked at a uniform height, making it possible to store them in a stable posture.
