Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the existing cable-type protection and guide devices, since the flexible material constituting the support member is stainless steel or a leaf spring, the correct bending radius cannot be maintained when it is in a bent posture, and there are problems such as large bending radius, and It is difficult to install in a predetermined space due to contact with obstacles in adjacent positions, especially when stainless steel is used as a flexible material, it may break due to fatigue damage after long-term use, resulting in unusable question
[0009] In addition, since the flexible materials constituting the supporting member are stainless steel and leaf springs, the stainless steel and leaf springs cannot be easily connected or disconnected. When the length of the supporting member is changed for a long time, the supporting member has to be replaced with a new one. , so there is a problem of wasteful use of support members, and since the torsional rigidity is low when bending, there is a problem that resonance occurs and the movement of the bending posture or the straight posture is unstable
[0010] Furthermore, the unit blocks made of resin must be injection-molded one by one on stainless steel and leaf springs, which requires a lot of burden and time for manufacturing, and there is a problem that it cannot be mass-produced
[0011] In addition, the existing cable-type protection and guiding devices only use conduits for conveying conductors, gases, etc., and support members composed of continuous material strips with a series of non-linkage action limiting solids to be enclosed in multiple channels, so that parallel Therefore, when there are multiple conduits that should be enclosed, it is necessary to replace and set a wider cable-type protective guide device with a plurality of channels corresponding to the number of conduits, which not only causes problems in the installation space Influenced by this problem, the overall holding state in the width direction of multiple catheters will be skewed when they are in a straight posture or a curved posture, which will cause damage to the catheters and supporting members.

Abstract

There is provided an articulated cable protection and guide apparatus that can securely and stably guide a large number of cables and can assure durability of articulated supporting members operating between straight and bending postures for a long period of time. The articulated supporting members can be easily cut and connected. The articulated cable protection and guide apparatus 100 comprises a plurality of articulated supporting members 110 including a large number of synthetic resin block bodies linked with each other, and A plurality of flexible belt members 120A,120B including tubular storing portions 121 formed in parallel in a belt width direction.The flexible belt members are overlapped vertically along the length direction, and the articulated supporting members are inserted and stored in the tubular storing portions arranged on the right side and the left side of at least one of the flexible belt members.

Description

[0001] technology area [0002] The present invention relates to a cable, an optical cable, a fluid, etc. used in machine tools, electronic equipment, industrial manipulators, handling machines, etc. A cable protection and guide device that protects and guides flexible cables such as hoses and hoses (hereinafter referred to as "cables"). Background technique [0003] When the cables are connected to a moving body such as a machine tool, civil engineering machinery, or conveying device in an exposed state without holding the cables, the cables will be twisted and stretched due to the movement, and the cables will be damaged or the appearance will be damaged. Seems very messy, therefore, use the cable protection guiding device that supports and guides these cables. [0004] Therefore, as an existing cable-type protection and guiding device, there is known a conduit for conveying conductors, gas, etc., and a support member composed of a continuous strip having a series of non-in...
