Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot parts technology, and more specifically, to a rotating flange for a robot pipeline package. Background Technology

[0002] A robot is an intelligent machine capable of semi-autonomous or fully autonomous operation. Robots can perform tasks such as working or moving through programming and automatic control. In industrial applications, robot pipeline packages are widely used in automated production lines, assembly lines, and painting lines. They are generally divided into external and internal types.

[0003] In existing external robot cable packs, the movement of the cable pack cannot keep up with every rotation of the robot arm. The cable pack often swings significantly relative to the robot arm, which makes it easy for the cable pack to twist during movement, accelerates the wear of the cables inside the cable pack, and affects the service life of the external robot cable pack. Based on this, this utility model designs a rotating flange for robot cable packs to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a robotic pipeline package rotating flange to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A robotic pipeline package rotary flange includes a rotary flange body, a front plate portion, and a rear plate portion. The front plate portion is located on the proximal front side of the rotary flange body, and two sets of mounting holes are symmetrically formed on the front plate portion. The rear plate portion is located on the proximal rear side of the rotary flange body. The front plate portion and the rear plate portion cooperate to form a cable inlet. A buried cable channel communicating with the cable inlet is formed inside the rotary flange body. A cable outlet is formed on the distal rear side of the rotary flange body. An avoidance bevel is formed on the distal front side of the rotary flange body. Both the cable outlet and the avoidance bevel are connected to the buried cable channel. A positioning screw groove set is formed on the distal rear side of the rotary flange body outside the cable outlet.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting hole group includes a plurality of mounting holes, which are distributed in an arc shape at equal intervals.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the positioning screw groove group includes two positioning screw grooves, which are symmetrically distributed vertically.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the front plate and the rear plate are integrally formed with the main body of the rotating flange.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating flange body, the front plate, and the rear plate are all components made of metal.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention utilizes the cooperation between the front and rear discs to form an inlet. A buried cable channel connected to the inlet is opened inside the rotating flange body, allowing the cable bundle to be buried within the channel. An outlet is opened at the rear of the far end of the rotating flange body, and a clearance bevel is opened at the front of the far end. Both the outlet and the clearance bevel are connected to the buried cable channel, allowing the end of the cable bundle to pass through the outlet. The clearance bevel effectively avoids bends in the cable bundle, enabling the cable bundle to be buried within the buried cable channel of the rotating flange body and routed through the inlet and outlet. This ensures the cable bundle's movement closely follows each rotation of the robot arm, preventing significant swinging of the cable bundle relative to the robot arm and avoiding twisting during movement. This helps reduce cable wear inside the cable bundle and ensures the service life of the external robot cable bundle.

[0013] The rotating flange for the robot pipeline package provided by this utility model gives the robot arm good compactness, making it easy to move through narrow working areas. In the case of densely installed robots, it can also effectively reduce the risk of mutual interference. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a robotic pipeline package rotary flange, including a rotary flange body 1, a front plate portion 2, and a rear plate portion 3. The front plate portion 2 is located on the proximal front side of the rotary flange body 1, and two sets of mounting holes 201 are symmetrically formed on the front plate portion 2. The rear plate portion 3 is located on the proximal rear side of the rotary flange body 1. The front plate portion 2 and the rear plate portion 3 cooperate to form a cable inlet 4. A cable embedding channel 101 communicating with the cable inlet 4 is formed inside the rotary flange body 1, so that the pipeline package 6 can be embedded through the cable inlet 4. Inside the buried cable channel 101, a cable outlet 102 is provided on the rear side of the far end of the rotary flange body 1, and a clearance bevel 103 is provided on the front side of the far end of the rotary flange body 1. Both the cable outlet 102 and the clearance bevel 103 are connected to the buried cable channel 101, so that the end of the pipeline package 6 can pass through the cable outlet 102. The clearance bevel 103 can provide a good clearance effect for the bend of the pipeline package 6. A positioning screw groove group 104 is provided on the rear side of the far end of the rotary flange body 1 outside the cable outlet 102.

[0021] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting hole group 201 includes several mounting holes, which are distributed in an arc shape at equal intervals. The rotating flange can be attached to the end of the robot arm 5 by using the fastening bolt I7 in conjunction with the mounting hole group 201.

[0022] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning screw groove assembly 104 includes two positioning screw grooves, which are symmetrically distributed vertically. The fastening bolt II8 can be used in conjunction with the positioning screw groove assembly 104 to install the cable harness 601, which is installed on the outer sleeve of the pipeline package 6, onto the rotating flange body 1.

[0023] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front disc portion 2 and the rear disc portion 3 are both integrally formed with the rotary flange body 1. The rotary flange body 1, the front disc portion 2, and the rear disc portion 3 are all components made of metal, achieving the purpose of giving the rotary flange good structural strength.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] The rotating flange is attached to the end of the robot arm 5 using fastening bolts I7 and mounting holes 201. An inlet 4 is formed by the fit between the front plate 2 and the rear plate 3. A buried cable channel 101, connected to the inlet 4, is opened inside the rotating flange body 1, allowing the cable package 6 to be buried within the buried cable channel 101 via the inlet 4. An outlet 102 is opened at the rear distal end of the rotating flange body 1, and a clearance bevel 103 is opened at the front distal end of the rotating flange body 1. Both the outlet 102 and the clearance bevel 103 are connected to the buried cable channel 101, allowing the cable package 6 to be buried within the channel. The end of the cable package 6 can be passed through the outlet 102. The avoidance angle 103 can provide a good avoidance effect on the bend of the cable package 6. The cable bundle sleeve 601 on the outer sleeve of the cable package 6 can be installed on the rotating flange body 1 by using the fastening bolt II8 and the positioning screw groove group 104. This allows the cable package 6 to be buried inside the cable channel 101 of the rotating flange body 1 and run through the inlet 4 and the outlet 102. This ensures that the movement of the cable package 6 can closely follow each rotation of the robot arm 5 and prevent the cable package 6 from swinging significantly relative to the robot arm 5.
