AI Technical Summary
In existing industrial robot drag chain devices, the two ends of the pulling elastic component are fixed, resulting in bending deformation and friction, which is prone to fatigue fracture and reduces the service life of the device.
A combination design of chain links, connecting columns, fixing holes, movable plates, limit slots and tension springs is adopted. The stretching of adjacent chain links is achieved through the cooperation of the connecting columns and movable plates, avoiding bending and deformation of the tension spring during the lateral stretching process. The lateral stretching within the elastic range of the tension spring is utilized to prevent the tension spring from breaking.
It effectively extends the service life of the drag chain device, avoids bending deformation and fatigue fracture of the tension spring, and improves the stability and durability of the device.
