Abstract

The present invention provides a motion platform having a wire-shaped body winding mechanism, where the wire-shaped body winding mechanism is combined on one side of the motion platform to wind related pipelines, which prevents problems in operating security caused by dropping of overlong pipelines, makes the peripheral environment of the motion platform neat, and causes no vibration or noise pollution.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a motion platform technology, and more particularly to a motion platform having a wire-shaped body winding mechanism.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]Regarding general automated mechanical devices such as a motion platform, repeated movement may cause damages to cables under automatic operation of a set stroke, and therefore, to protect the cables, an elastic sleeve pipe having desired strength and a protecting chain can be used to protect the cables in the prior art. The elastic sleeve pipe is relatively weak in telescopic and bending deformation capabilities, and is limited in application. The chain structure of the protecting chain allows diversified changes in shape, and thus the protecting chain is widely applied to protect cables in the technical field of motion platforms.[0003]However, when the conventional protecting chain is deformed, the volume of sound produced when the chain ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0004]Therefore, the present invention is mainly directed to provide a motion platform having a wire-shaped body winding mechanism, which can coil cables on the motion platform, protect the cables, make the peripheral environment of the motion platform neat, and cause no noise or vibration.

[0005]To achieve the above objective, the motion platform having a wire-shaped body winding mechanism provided by the present invention has the main technical feature that a winding mechanism is combined on a motion platform to wind and accommodate a wire-shaped body having the desired length for movement of the platform and can wind or release the wire-shaped body with the displacement of the motion platform, so as to increase or reduce the length of the wire-shaped body extending out of the winding mechanism to conform to change of the position of the motion platform.

[0008]As for the technical means of combining the winding mechanism and the fixed seat, no matter the winding mechanism is fixedly combined on the fixed seat or movably combined on the fixed seat in a sliding manner, the efficacies of the winding mechanism in coiling the wire-shaped body and in simplifying the environment and avoiding noises and vibration for the entire motion platform are not affected.

[0012]To enable the relative displacement between the wire-shaped body and the second rotary bodies, the second rotary bodies can be made to respectively rotate about the second central shafts, or the contact surfaces of the second rotary bodies and the wire-shaped body have low friction, such that the relative displacement between the wire-shaped body and the second rotary bodies in the winding process can be carried out smoothly without hindering.

Problems solved by technology

The elastic sleeve pipe is relatively weak in telescopic and bending deformation capabilities, and is limited in application.

However, when the conventional protecting chain is deformed, the volume of sound produced when the chain links move relative to each other and contact the mechanical surface are usually very loud, and meanwhile the weight of the chain may easily cause undesired vibration during movement.

Therefore, in addition to the noises that affect the human health, the protecting chain is inapplicable in fields having high accuracy requirements because of the undesired vibration.
