Problems solved by technology

In this case, the running surfaces impede the mutual pivoting of the side webs and have to be shortened, which creates play, in particular at the extended web segments, which leads to uneven running and generates noise

Embodiment Construction

[0016] exist figure 1 Said side strap 1 has a universal joint pin 3 and a pin socket 2. When assembled with the other side strap, the pin 3 is inserted into the socket 2 and the side strap can be pivoted about a pivot axis S extending (perpendicular to the plane of the drawing). The swivel angle is limited by the stop 4. The web is symmetrical about the axis A, that is to say the axis of rotation S runs centrally between the narrow faces 5 and 6 of the web.

[0017] figure 2 A partial side view a) and a top view b) of a web segment of a lower branch of an energy-conducting chain according to the invention are shown, wherein the energy-conducting chain has four side webs and is shown in an extended configuration. In this construction, the upper narrow side 10 of the side web 9 forms a continuous running surface 11 which preferably has a constant width along its length. The gaps 14 between the webs are as narrow as the function permits, for example ≦1 to 5 mm. The swivel a...

Abstract

The invention relates to an energy conduction chain for conducting hoses, cables and similar comprising a number of chain links which are interconnected in an articulated manner. Said links are formed by lateral plates (9) which are parallel to one another and by cross-elements which connect said plates. The energy conduction chain can be moved such that it forms a loop consisting of a lower strand, an upper strand and a diverting area which connects said strands and respectively, two lateral plates (9), which are adjacent to one another, and can be pivoted about a common pivotable axis (S) counter to each other. In order to form the most possible continuous surface on the narrow side (10, 11) of the plate strands which is oriented towards the respective opposite strand, the distance of the pivotable axis (S) to the narrow side (10) oriented towards the inside of the loop is smaller than to the narrow side (12) oriented towards the outside of the loop.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an energy-conducting chain according to the preambles of the independent claims. Background technique [0002] Such energy-conducting chains are known, for example, from DE 197 15 531 A1, WO 99 / 57457 A1 or DE 199 19 076 A1. The energy-conducting chain therein has two mutually opposite segments of side webs connected articulatedly and pivotably to one another, between which transverse slats are fastened, the transverse slats The internal space of the chain link is enclosed with the side overlapping piece. Adjacent side webs overlap each other in the region of a common pivot axis. The side webs can be designed, for example, as flat inner webs and outer webs, wherein the overlapping area on the inner web faces inwardly of the chain link and on the outer web faces away from the interior of the connecting ring. Within each side strap there is an inward and an outward overlapping region, which are connected by an elbow. In known ...
