Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable technology, specifically to a cable arrangement structure for industrial robots. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial robot cables are externally mounted and need to twist and stretch as the robot moves, so they are generally designed in a spiral shape. This is fine for single cables, but multiple external cables can look messy. Moreover, because of the twisting and stretching required, the externally mounted cables are not fixed in place, so they swing frequently during robot operation, colliding with the robot's shell. This accelerates cable aging and damage, shortens the cable's lifespan, and also generates collision noise. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an industrial robot cable arrangement structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the messy appearance of multiple external cables, the frequent swinging of cables during robot operation, collisions with the robot shell, which accelerates cable aging and damage, shortens service life, and generates collision noise.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An industrial robot cable arrangement structure includes a spiral cable with an mounting kit sleeved on it. The kit includes an inner airbag ring, a fixing ring, an outer airbag ring, an inflation nozzle, an airflow channel, a first elastic band, adhesive tape, a second elastic band, and a fleece tape. The fixing ring is fixedly installed on the outer side of the inner airbag ring, and the outer airbag ring is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing ring. An inflation nozzle is connected to the outer airbag ring. An airflow channel is formed between the inner airbag ring, the fixing ring, and the outer airbag ring. Adhesive tape is fixedly installed on one side of the outer airbag ring via the first elastic band, and fleece tape is fixedly installed on the other side of the outer airbag ring via the second elastic band. The adhesive tape and fleece tape are symmetrically arranged.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The inner airbag ring and the outer airbag ring are made of the same material. The inner airbag ring includes an airbag surface layer and a rubber protective surface layer, with the airbag surface layer on the inside and the rubber protective surface layer on the outside.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The inner ring of the inner airbag is provided with an insert rod around the axis.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The retaining ring is a rigid plastic ring or a metal ring.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The inflation nozzle and the airflow channel are connected to each other.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The inner airbag ring, the fixing ring, and the outer airbag ring are glued together and fixed.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] Rubber balls are fixedly installed at intervals inside the outer airbag ring, with adjacent rubber balls staggered.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The diameter of the rubber ball is smaller than the inner expansion height of the outer airbag ring.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an industrial robot cable arrangement structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this invention, a kit is designed that can be fitted and fixed on spiral cables of different thicknesses. By inflating the kit, the inner airbag ring is fixed to the spiral cable. The outer airbag ring can buffer the swinging and collision of the spiral cable, preventing the spiral cable from aging and breaking faster due to long-term and frequent swinging and collision. Moreover, it can also reduce collision noise.

[0022] 2. In this invention, adhesive tape and fleece tape are fixedly installed on the outside of the outer airbag ring by a first elastic band and a second elastic band, which can fix multiple cables together. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Please see Figures 1-4 This invention provides an industrial robot cable arrangement structure, including a spiral cable 1, on which an installation kit is fitted. The kit includes an inner airbag ring 2, a fixing ring 3, an outer airbag ring 4, an inflation nozzle 5, an airflow channel 6, a first elastic band 7, an adhesive tape 8, a second elastic band 9, and a fleece tape 10. The fixing ring 3 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the inner airbag ring 2, and the outer airbag ring 4 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing ring 3. The inflation nozzle 5 is connected to the outer airbag ring 4. The airflow channel 6 is formed by connecting the inner airbag ring 2, the fixing ring 3, and the outer airbag ring 4. The adhesive tape 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer airbag ring 4 through the first elastic band 7, and the fleece tape 10 is fixedly installed on the other side of the outer airbag ring 4 through the second elastic band 9. The adhesive tape 8 and the fleece tape 10 are symmetrically arranged.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner airbag ring 2 and the outer airbag ring 4 are made of the same material. The inner airbag ring 2 includes an airbag surface layer and a rubber protective surface layer, with the airbag surface layer inside and the rubber protective surface layer outside, to prevent the inner airbag ring 2 and the outer airbag ring 4 from being easily punctured.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, an insert rod 11 is set around the axis at the inner ring position of the inner airbag ring 2. The insert rod 11 is locked between the helical gaps of the spiral cable 1 to keep the inner airbag ring 2 locked and prevent it from falling off.

[0034] Specifically, the fixing ring 3 is either a hard plastic ring or a metal ring. The former is lightweight and low-cost, while the latter has a long service life.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inflation nozzle 5 and the airflow channel 6 are connected to each other, and the inner airbag ring 2 and the outer airbag ring 4 are rapidly inflated.

[0036] Specifically, the inner airbag ring 2, the fixing ring 3, and the outer airbag ring 4 are glued together. Gluing is low-cost, fast, and facilitates the opening of the airflow channel 6.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, rubber balls 12 are fixedly installed at intervals inside the outer airbag ring 4. Adjacent rubber balls 12 are staggered. The rubber balls 12 have a supporting and buffering function to prevent the outer airbag ring 4 from being severely deformed and broken when it is impacted.

[0038] Specifically, the diameter of the rubber ball 12 is smaller than the expansion height of the inner cavity of the outer airbag ring 4, and the rubber ball 12 does not affect the expansion of the outer airbag ring 4.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] The air inflator 5 is a ready-made product selected from the market for direct application;

[0041] Locate the position where the spiral cable 1 is likely to collide with the robot shell, and put the kit on. After putting it on, inflate the air inlet 5. The gas enters the outer airbag ring 4 and flows from the inner cavity of the outer airbag ring 4 through the airflow channel 6 into the inner airbag ring 2. Thus, both the inner and outer airbag rings 2 and 4 are inflated by the gas. The first elastic band 7 and the second elastic band 9 stretch as the outer airbag ring 4 inflates. After the inner airbag ring 2 inflates, it compresses the spiral cable 1 to fix itself. The insert 11 is inserted into the gap between the spiral body of the spiral cable 1 to keep the inner airbag ring 2 from falling off. After the outer airbag ring 4 inflates, it forms an impact protection. When the spiral cable 1 swings, the outer airbag ring 4 and the robot shell will collide and buffer. With the support and buffering of the rubber ball 12, the collision buffering effect of the outer airbag ring 4 is better and the collision noise is reduced.

[0042] If multiple lines are externally mounted, first put on the kit, then rotate the kit, and attach and fix the adhesive tape 8 of the adjacent kit and the velour tape 10 of the kit to achieve the cabling arrangement.

[0043] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
