[0060] In the above technical solution, the male buckle 20 is connected to the inside of the joint 10 and the male buckle 10 and the joint 10 are an integrally formed structure, the female buckle 30 is an integrally formed structure, and the joint 10, the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 30 are all made of polyurethane plastic material or plastic steel material, which greatly improves their mechanical strength and life;

[0061] As a preferred solution, the joint 10 is in the shape of a circular tube or an elliptical tube. The circular tube can be applied to laying cables on the ground or on the wall, and the elliptical tube can also be applied to laying cables on the ground or on the wall. When laying cables on the wall, the elliptical tube cable sleeve has a better effect than the circular tube due to its own shape characteristics.

[0062] As a preferred solution, the joint 10 is an elliptical tube, and the male buckle 20 is arranged on the center line of the joint 10. The purpose of the joint 10 being an elliptical tube and the male buckle 20 being arranged on the center line is to maximize the horizontal and vertical degrees of freedom of the joint 10; it is worth noting that the male buckle 20 is in the shape of a long strip.

[0063] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the joint 10 includes a first tube body 101 and a second tube body 102 , and the outer wall of the first tube body 101 is adapted to the inner wall of the second tube body 102 .

[0064] In the above technical solution, as a preferred solution, the male buckle 20 is arranged on the center line inside the first tube body 101; when several joints 10 are combined and connected, the end of the first tube body 101 extends to more than half of the length of the inner wall of the second tube body 102, which can largely prevent dust from entering the interior.

[0065] Combination Figures 4 to 8As shown, the first connector 202 is a spherical structure, and the top of the first connector 202 is missing; the first groove 302 is a spherical groove, and a disassembly hole is also passed through the female buckle body 301, and the disassembly hole is connected to the first groove 302; the disassembly hole is also provided with a frustum 304 on the side away from the first groove 302, and a first through hole is passed through the center position of the frustum 304, and the first through hole is connected to the disassembly hole.

[0066] In the above technical solution, the top of the first connecting body 202 is missing, which makes it convenient for the female buckle 20 to be buckled to the outside of the male buckle 30, so that a certain gap is left between the female buckle 20 and the male buckle 30, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement; the first connecting body 202 is spherical, and the first groove 302 is spherical, so that a certain degree of freedom of rotation can be achieved in the horizontal direction. It is worth noting that the specification of the first groove 302 is larger than half of a sphere. After the first connecting body 202 and the first groove 302 are buckled, the first connecting body 202 and the first groove 302 will not be easily separated, and a large force must be applied to separate the two; the frustum 304 protrudes to the upper part of the female buckle body 301, and the frustum is connected to the first groove 302, so that the end of the screwdriver can be inserted into the first groove 302, thereby separating the female buckle 30 from the first connecting body 202, that is, the female buckle 30 and the male buckle 20.

[0067] Combination Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the first connector 202 also has an inclined notch 206 on the side away from the female buckle body 301; the female buckle body 301 is arc-shaped on the side close to the first connector 202; the second connector 203 is spherical, and the second groove 303 is a spherical groove; the surface of the male buckle body 201 has a first notch 204, and the middle part of the first notch 204 has a second notch 205, the first connector 202 is arranged at the second notch 205, the two second connectors 203 are both arranged at the first notch 204 and are respectively located on both sides of the first connector 202, and the female buckle 30 is buckled at the first notch 204.

[0068] In the above technical solution, the second connector 203 is spherical and larger than half of a sphere. Similarly, the second groove 303 is a spherical groove, which is also larger than half of a sphere. In this way, the second connector 203 and the second groove 303 will not fall off easily after being buckled. The notch 206 is provided to facilitate the insertion of a screwdriver for disassembly. It is worth noting that the female buckle 30 includes a first body and a second body vertically arranged in the middle of one side of the first body. The female buckle 30 is a "convex"-shaped structure. One side of the second body is arc-shaped. The first body is away from the second body. There is an arc-shaped notch in the middle of one side, two second grooves 303 are located at the first body and are respectively located on both sides of the arc-shaped notch, the first groove 302 is located at the second body, the second body is arc-shaped on the side away from the first body, and the side of the second body away from the first body is adapted to the arc-shaped notch; this structure of the female buckle 30 is convenient for assembling multiple sleeve units; what is more noteworthy is that a positioning block protrudes from the bottom of the first body, and the positioning block also has an arc-shaped notch on the side close to the first connector 202, and the thickness of the positioning block is the same as the depth of the second notch 204.

[0069] Combination Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the robot cable protection sleeve comprises a plurality of sleeve units connected in series;

[0070] In two adjacent sleeve units, the second tube body 102 of one joint 10 is covered on the outside of the first tube body 101 of the other joint 10, the second groove 303 at the female buckle 30 is connected to the second connector 203 in one joint 10, and the first groove 302 at the female buckle 30 is connected to the first connector 202 in the other joint 10.

[0071] In the above technical solution, the serial sleeve unit forms a separation path inside the cable protection sleeve of the robot, which is convenient for sorting and classifying different lines of the robot, making the lines more neat; at the same time, the serial sleeve unit can achieve a certain degree of freedom of rotation in the horizontal and vertical directions for use by the robot.

[0072] Combination Figures 1 to 15 As shown, a combined disassembly method of a robot cable protection sleeve includes a combined method and a disassembly method:

[0073] 1. Combination method:

[0074] 1) First, the second groove 303 of the female buckle 30 is buckled with the second connector 203 in a joint 10;

[0075] 2) Then, the second tube body 102 of one joint 10 is sleeved onto the outside of the first tube body 101 of another joint 10;

[0076] 3) Finally, the first groove 302 of the female buckle 30 is buckled with the first connector 202 in another joint 10;

[0077] 2. Disassembly method:

[0078] 1) When a joint 10 is damaged, a section of the combined sleeve unit is selected and bent with the damaged joint 10 as the center;

[0079] 2) After bending, a gap will appear between two adjacent joints 10, and the gap is located above the first through hole and the disassembly hole;

[0080] 3) Insert the screwdriver 40 into the gap and extend it to the cone 304. Below the disassembly hole is the first connector 202. The first connector 202 has an inclined notch 206. The threaded end of the screwdriver 40 is screwed into the first through hole of the cone 304 so that the end of the screwdriver 40 continuously moves toward the first connector 202. Since the first connector 202 is spherical, the end of the screwdriver 40 applies pressure to the first connector 202, thereby separating the male buckle 20 and the female buckle 30.

[0081] In the above technical solution, when disassembling, excessive bending is performed with the damaged joint 10 as the center. When a gap appears between the two joints 10, a screwdriver 40 can be inserted to separate the female buckle 30 from the male buckle 20, so that the joint 10 can be taken out and replaced.

[0082] Combination Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the screwdriver 40 includes a handle 401 and a rod 402, the rod 402 is an integrally formed structure, and the rod 402 includes a first rod body 403, a second rod body 404 and a third rod body 405 in sequence, the first rod body 403 and the third rod body 405 are both round rod-shaped, the lower surface of the third rod body 405 is an arc-shaped structure, the second rod body 404 is a rectangular rod-shaped structure, the two side surfaces of the second rod body 404 are arc-shaped, and the arc surface of the second rod body 404 has a thread.

[0083] In the above technical solution, when replacing the damaged joint 10, the handle 401 is manually operated and the rod 402 is extended to the inside of the sleeve. After bending, the first through hole of the cone 304 is located directly below the rod 402, and the rod 402 can be directly inserted into the first through hole. Since the first rod body 403 is in the shape of a round rod, when rotating, the outer wall of the first rod body 403 is smooth and will not cause damage to the joint 10. The arc surface of the second rod body 404 has a thread, and the diameter of the second rod body 404 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole. The inner wall of the first through hole of the cone is smooth. When the second rod body 404 gradually approaches the first groove 302, the second The second rod 404 acts as a self-tapping screw and moves downward continuously. The lower surface of the third rod 405 is an arc-shaped structure. When the third rod 405 applies pressure to the first connecting body 202, it can ensure that the overall shape of the first connecting body 202 will not be damaged. Since the second rod 404 and the truncated cone 304 are in contact in a self-tapping manner, the first connecting body 202 will eventually move downward and detach from the truncated cone 304, or the truncated cone 304 and the second rod 404 and the third rod 405 will move upward and detach from the first connecting body 202. It is worth noting that the diameter of the arc-shaped surface of the second rod 404 is the same as the diameter of the first rod 403.
