Pipeline guide

Abstract

The invention discloses a pipeline guide device comprising a box body. A set of opposite wall surfaces of the box body are respectively provided with a line inlet via which a pipeline enters the cavity of the box body and a line outlet via which a pipeline extends out of the box body. The cavity of the box body is provided with a radial pushing mechanism which is arranged along the radial direction of a pipeline, fits the side wall surface of the pipeline, and is used for applying a radial pushing force to the pipeline based on elasticity to make the pipeline bent along the radial direction and limit axial movement of the pipeline. Guide roller components used for guiding a pipeline to be bent along the radial direction of the pipeline under the action of the radial pushing mechanism are respectively arranged at the position of the line inlet and at the position of the line outlet inside the cavity of the box body. The linear line inlet and the linear line outlet are formed on the box body, so a pipeline can be guided linearly, there is no need for winding, and two-way telescopic extension is easy to realize. The radial pushing mechanism applies a radial pushing force to a pipeline to make the pipeline bent, the pipeline has both longitudinal and transverse telescopic extension strokes due to bending, and the space utilization rate is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robot structures, in particular to a pipeline guiding device for industrial robots. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of production automation, more and more applications of various sensing and control technologies have resulted in an increase in the types and quantities of pipelines in the execution terminal. For most devices, the execution terminal is not fixed, so when the execution terminal is working, the pipeline on it will also move. [0003] The traditional method is to reserve the expansion and contraction length of the pipeline, and rely on the force transmitted by the executive terminal parts during the working process to drive the pipeline to move randomly. This method is only suitable for the pipeline with a relatively long expansion stroke due to the uncertainty of the pipeline movement and no additional protection. Mechanisms that are short and difficult to inte...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The invention provides a pipeline guiding device to solve the existing pipeline box used for the execution terminal of industrial robots. The wire inlet and outlet are located at one end, and there is a problem of winding wires for some straight-in and straight-out equipment; the pipeline Sliding friction in the housing cavity and uncertainty in movement will increase the loss of the pipeline; the ratio of the telescopic stroke of the pipeline guiding device to its own volume is too small, the space utilization rate is low, and the expansion stroke is only unidirectional.
