Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a machine that enables one worker to hold multiple production machines by bending and shortening a long straight production line using turn pulleys in the process of manufacturing electric wires. Regarding placement.

Employees and wire manufacturing equipment have various production machines such as taping machines, twisting machines, extrusion machines, etc. arranged in lines in the longitudinal direction due to the characteristics of the products.

In other words, taking taping equipment as an example, one person
When in charge of a machine line, worker A stands on one side of the line as shown in FIG. 1 and operates and monitors each machine. Also, one worker A
has multiple heads in charge of multiple lines, the second
As shown in the figure, the machine can be operated with left and right hands.2
Lines of stands were installed side by side, and Worker A was located in the center between both lines to operate and monitor both lines.

Normally, the production line in the electric wire manufacturing process is approximately 50 meters long with just the taping equipment mentioned above, so the line that one worker A can handle is limited to two machines, even if the machines can be operated from left to right as described above. It was hot. In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a wire feeding machine, 2 indicates a filament body, 3 indicates a taping machine, 4 indicates a caterpillar take-up machine, and 5 indicates a wire winding machine.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above and to increase the number of machines that one worker can handle in the wire manufacturing process.

That is, the gist of the present invention is to arrange at least three turn pulleys around a waiting area for a worker who monitors an electric wire manufacturing line so that the starting point and ending point of each electric wire manufacturing line can be seen from the operator's perspective. The electric wire production lines are arranged at a distance from the turn pulleys, and are bent in a U-turn or at a right angle by the turn pulleys in the middle.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the machine arrangement of taping equipment in the electric wire production line of the present invention, and each production machine is designated by the same reference numeral as described in FIG. 1. However, since the gist of the present invention is not to describe each production machine, this will be omitted in this specification.

In FIG. 3, the wire body 2 is continuously fed out from the wire feeding machine 1, and after being coated with the exterior by three taping machines 3, it is passed through the turn pulley P to the U.
After being turned and passing through the Caterpillar pick-up machine 4,
The wire rod is wound up by a wire winding machine 5.

As described above, two of each of the four production lines, each of which has a U-turn at the middle of the line by the turn pulley P, are arranged in parallel in close proximity to each other. The turn pulleys P are arranged at four locations around the worker A, and each line makes a U-turn outward from the worker A.

FIG. 4 shows that four turn pulleys P arranged around worker A are arranged in the same way as in the embodiment of FIG. 3.
Each production line is bent at a right angle in the middle to form a right-angled line.

By rearranging the production line as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 above, the taping equipment is arranged so as to surround worker A at the center.

Therefore, the radius of action for worker A to operate each taping machine 3 is narrowed as much as possible, thereby eliminating wasted time in action and freeing up time, and this free time allows the machine to have multiple heads. It becomes possible.

As explained above, by rearranging the line configuration, the present invention allows one worker to
The number of lines that could be operated and monitored was increased from two to four, making it possible to have multiple lines.

In other words, by halving the movement radius of worker A, worker A has more leeway, and it becomes possible to have multiple machines.

In addition, due to the structure of the product, the wire manufacturing process requires a very long line of production machinery, so it is indirectly monitored through a large number of monitoring devices such as ITVs, alarm bells, and alarm lamps. However, in the present invention, the areas where worker A most needs to be monitored and intervened, such as the above-mentioned taping equipment, can be centrally placed near worker A, making direct monitoring possible and reliable. In addition to increasing security, it also becomes possible to quickly respond to unexpected situations.
