Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of drag chain transmission technology, and specifically relates to a drag chain conveying device. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important conveying and protection device, the drag chain plays a key role in automation equipment. However, the traditional drag chain has problems such as one-way bending and easy collapse in vertical application, which limits its use in some complex application scenarios. The design of the traditional drag chain can usually only bend in one fixed direction, and this one-way nature limits the application of the drag chain in complex motion trajectories. Especially in situations that require ring positive and negative motion, the traditional drag chain often cannot meet the needs. When applied in the vertical direction, due to the influence of gravity and motion inertia, the drag chain is prone to collapse. This not only causes the motion trajectory of the drag chain to deviate from the normal trajectory, but also increases the risk of friction and collision with surrounding objects, thereby affecting the normal operation and safety of the equipment.
[0003] With the continuous development of industrial automation and mechatronics, more and more equipment needs to realize ring positive and negative motion. For example, in situations such as numerical control machine tools, robot arms, and automated production lines, the drag chain needs to frequently bend and bend in the opposite direction to pull and protect the built-in cables, oil pipes, and air pipes.
[0004] To solve the existing problems, we propose a drag chain conveying device. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
