Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and in particular relates to an accordion cover structure for a manipulator. Background Art

[0002] The full name of the accordion (protective cover) is the flexible accordion-type machine tool guide rail protective cover, commonly known as the leather tiger. It is a type of machine tool protective cover, and its main function is to protect the machine tool guide rail. For a mechanism that can move along both the X-axis and the Z-axis (or called a manipulator), one end of the accordion cover is fixed to the manipulator. When the manipulator moves along the X-axis, it will stretch or squeeze the accordion cover, but the process is not smooth and not stuck, and the accordion cover is easy to get stuck.

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an accordion cover structure for a robot to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a bellows cover structure for a manipulator, the structural design is ingenious, during the translation and lifting of the manipulator, the bellows cover moves smoothly without jamming, and the bellows cover has good sealing performance, which can achieve a good sealing effect.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, a technical solution adopted by the utility model is: to provide an accordion cover structure for a manipulator, the accordion cover structure comprises a machine frame located on the equipment, a plurality of accordion covers and a mounting frame located at the edge of the manipulator, the manipulator is inserted into the mounting frame and the accordion covers are located between the mounting frames and between the mounting frame and the machine frame;

[0006] The machine frame includes two left and right guide rails, each guide rail includes two upper and lower side panels, a concave cavity is formed between the two side panels, and the two sides of the accordion cover are respectively inserted into the concave cavity; the installation frame includes two first frame frames and two second frame frames connected end to end, and the two second frame frames are used to connect the two first frame frames, one end or both ends of the accordion cover are fixed to the first frame, and first rollers are provided between the two ends of the first frame and the side panels;

[0007] The first frame is inserted into the groove of the side wall of the manipulator and can slide along the groove. Meanwhile, a second roller is arranged between the side wall of the manipulator and the first frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the second frame is located directly above the first frame, and two ends of the second frame are respectively fixedly connected to two ends of the first frame.

[0009] Furthermore, two installation frames are provided on the machine frame, and are respectively defined as a first installation frame and a second installation frame. An accordion cover is provided between the left side of the first installation frame and the left side of the machine frame; an accordion cover is provided between the first installation frame and the second installation frame, and an accordion cover is provided between the second installation frame and the right side of the machine frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the robot is a robot that can move along the X-axis and the Z-axis.

[0011] Furthermore, the first frame and the second frame are both sheet metal parts.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] In the utility model, since the end of the accordion cover is fixedly connected to the first frame, and the two sides of the accordion cover are inserted into the concave cavity of the track, and the first variable frame is stuck in the groove of the side wall of the manipulator, when the manipulator translates along the X direction, the accordion cover on one side will be squeezed, and the accordion cover on the other side will be stretched at the same time, so the accordion cover will always seal the lower end of the manipulator, and play a sealing and dustproof effect; and in this process, the first roller is in contact with the guide rail, which plays a guiding role, so that the accordion cover moves along the guide rail more smoothly without jamming;

[0014] Since the first frame is stuck in the groove of the manipulator and can slide along the groove, and the second roller is in contact with the side wall of the manipulator, when the manipulator is lifted and lowered along the Z axis, the mounting frame does not move, so the accordion cover will not be lifted up by the manipulator, and there is rolling friction between the second roller and the side wall of the manipulator, so the lifting process of the manipulator is smoother, ensuring that the accordion cover is completely closed;

[0015] Therefore, the utility model has an ingenious structural design, and can ensure that the accordion cover moves smoothly without jamming during the two processes of translation and lifting of the manipulator, and has good sealing performance, which can achieve a good sealing effect.

[0016] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the utility model. In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the utility model and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
