Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data cable technology, and in particular to a bending-resistant robot data connection cable. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, the application of bend-resistant robots is becoming increasingly widespread, enabling them to complete various high-precision and challenging tasks in complex working environments. Data cables, as key components for data transmission and signal exchange between robots and external devices or systems, directly impact the robot's normal operation and work efficiency due to their stability and reliability. Because robots perform frequent movements and bending actions during operation, data cables must possess excellent bend resistance to ensure they are not damaged by bending during long-term use, thereby guaranteeing the continuity and accuracy of data transmission.

[0003] In existing technologies, the handling of robot data connection cables typically employs relatively simple mechanical structures and technical principles. Generally, a simple protective sleeve is wrapped around the connection cable to provide some protection. The protective sleeve is usually made of plastic or rubber, and its main function is to prevent the connection cable from being subjected to external friction and impact. At the connectors on the connection cable, a simple plug-and-play connection is often used, relying on some basic locking clips to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0004] However, data cable connectors are easily damaged by the frequent bending forces exerted on the robot, leading to connector breakage. Once a connector breaks, data transmission is interrupted, affecting the robot's normal operation. Therefore, a bend-resistant robot data cable is proposed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bending-resistant robot data connection cable, which aims to improve the problem that the data cable connector in the prior art is easily damaged by external bending, resulting in connector breakage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an anti-bending robot data connection cable, including a fixed sleeve, a connector fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed sleeve, a protective component provided on the side wall of the fixed sleeve, and a reinforcing component provided inside the fixed sleeve.

[0007] The protective assembly includes a protective cover slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed sleeve. A rubber clamp is disposed inside the protective cover and fits against the fixed sleeve. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rubber clamp and slidably connected inside the protective cover. A limit block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod and slidably connected to the side wall of the protective cover. A spring is sleeved on the side wall of the connecting rod. A fixing adhesive is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective cover, and the two sides of the protective cover are fixed together by the fixing adhesive.

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

[0009] One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rubber clamp, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the protective cover;

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

[0011] The reinforcement component includes a transmission line, which is fixedly connected inside the fixing sleeve and between the connectors;

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

[0013] The side wall of the fixing sleeve is fixedly connected with a waterproof rubber coating, and the inside of the fixing sleeve is fixedly connected with a nylon braided sleeve;

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

[0015] A silicone sponge is fixedly connected inside the nylon braided sleeve, and the silicone sponge is fixedly connected to the side wall of the transmission line.

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

[0017] The waterproof rubber coating is made of waterproof rubber material and is used to prevent moisture from penetrating the interior of the fixing sleeve;

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

[0019] The nylon braided sleeve is made of nylon fibers and is used to enhance the strength and wear resistance of the internal structure of the fixing sleeve;

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The silicone sponge is made of silicone material and has a sponge-like structure, which is used to cushion the data connection cable when it is bent.

[0022] Optionally,

[0023] The above-mentioned technical solutions in the anti-bending robot data connection cable provided in this embodiment of the utility model have at least one of the following technical effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, the protective cover is aligned with the fixing sleeve at the connector and fixed with adhesive. At this time, the fixing sleeve is in contact with the rubber clamp inside the protective cover. When the fixing sleeve bends, the rubber clamp bends accordingly, causing the connecting rod to move inside the protective cover, compressing the spring. The spring rebounds to prevent the fixing sleeve from bending excessively and causing the connector to break. This solves the problem that the data cable connector is easily damaged by external bending, leading to connector breakage. The above technical solution improves the stability of the connector structure.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, when the robot operates in a humid environment, the waterproof rubber coating on the side wall of the fixed sleeve prevents moisture intrusion and ensures transmission performance. During operation, the data connection line is easily subjected to friction and compression. The nylon braided sleeve inside the fixed sleeve enhances the structural strength and wear resistance. The silicone sponge on the side wall of the transmission line buffers and disperses stress when bent, preventing the transmission line from breaking and ensuring stable data transmission. This solves the problem that stress concentration can easily lead to breakage when the transmission line is frequently bent. The above technical solution improves the stability and reliability of data transmission. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3This utility model provides an embodiment of an anti-bending robot data connection cable, including a fixed sleeve 1, a connector 2 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed sleeve 1, a protective component provided on the side wall of the fixed sleeve 1, and a reinforcing component provided inside the fixed sleeve 1; the protective component includes a protective cover 3, which protects the fixed sleeve 1 and the connector 2, the protective cover 3 is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed sleeve 1, a rubber clamp 4 is provided inside the protective cover 3 for initial cushioning, the rubber clamp 4 is in contact with the fixed sleeve 1, a connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rubber clamp 4, the connecting rod 5 is slidably connected inside the protective cover 3, a limit block 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 5, the limit block 6 is slidably connected to the side wall of the protective cover 3, a spring 7 is sleeved on the side wall of the connecting rod 5, a fixing adhesive 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective cover 3, the two protective covers 3 are fixed together by the fixing adhesive 8, one end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rubber clamp 4, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected inside the protective cover 3;

[0038] When using the data cable, align the protective cover 3 with the retaining sleeve 1 at the connector 2 and close it. The adhesive 8 is sticky and secures the protective cover 3 in place, ensuring it won't fall off during data cable use and maintaining its protective function. At this time, the retaining sleeve 1 is in contact with the rubber clamp 4 inside the protective cover 3. The rubber clamp 4 is soft and elastic, fitting against the outer surface of the retaining sleeve 1. When the retaining sleeve 1 is subjected to external force, the rubber clamp 4 provides initial cushioning, reducing the direct impact of the external force on the retaining sleeve 1. When the retaining sleeve 1 bends, the rubber clamp 4 bends accordingly. Simultaneously, the bending of the rubber clamp 4 causes the connecting rod 5 to move inside the protective cover 3. The rubber clamp 4 then engages with the spring 7. When compressed, the spring 7, being elastic, undergoes elastic deformation and stores elastic potential energy. The greater the bending of the fixed sleeve 1, the greater the compressive force of the rubber clamp 4 on the spring 7, and the more elastic potential energy the spring 7 stores. The spring 7 rebounds to prevent the fixed sleeve 1 from bending excessively and breaking at the connector 2. After storing elastic potential energy, the spring 7 generates a rebound force opposite to the compression direction. This force is transmitted to the fixed sleeve 1 through the connecting rod 5 and the rubber clamp 4, limiting further bending of the fixed sleeve 1 and preventing damage to the connection structure at the connector 2 due to excessive bending angle. This ensures a stable connection of the data cable at the connector 2 and maintains normal data transmission.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The reinforcement components include a transmission line 9, which is responsible for transmitting data and signals. The transmission line 9 is fixedly connected inside the fixing sleeve 1 and between the connectors 2. A waterproof rubber coating 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing sleeve 1. A nylon braided sleeve 11 is fixedly connected inside the fixing sleeve 1. A silicone sponge 12 is fixedly connected inside the nylon braided sleeve 11. The silicone sponge 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the transmission line 9. The waterproof rubber coating 10 is made of waterproof rubber material to prevent water from penetrating the interior of the fixing sleeve 1. The nylon braided sleeve 11 is woven from nylon fibers to enhance the strength and wear resistance of the internal structure of the fixing sleeve 1. The silicone sponge 12 is made of silicone material to form a sponge-like structure to provide cushioning when the data connection line is bent.

[0040] As a carrier of data and signals, transmission line 9 transmits information from one connector 2 to another, ensuring smooth communication between various robot components. When the robot operates in a humid environment, the waterproof rubber coating 10 on the side wall of the fixed sleeve 1 provides waterproof performance, forming a waterproof barrier on the surface of the fixed sleeve 1 to prevent moisture from penetrating the interior of the fixed sleeve 1. This avoids problems such as short circuits and signal interference caused by moisture on the transmission line 9, thus ensuring the data transmission performance of the transmission line 9. During robot operation, the data connection line is susceptible to friction and compression. The nylon braided sleeve 11 inside the fixed sleeve 1 enhances the internal structural strength and wear resistance. The nylon braided sleeve 11 is made of high-strength nylon fibers, possessing high strength and wear resistance, effectively resisting external friction and compression, and protecting the internal structure of the fixed sleeve 1, such as the transmission line 9, from damage. Meanwhile, the silicone sponge 12 on the side wall of the transmission line 9 acts as a buffer when bending. The silicone sponge 12 is soft and elastic. When the transmission line 9 bends together with the fixing sleeve 1, the silicone sponge 12 can disperse the stress generated by bending, avoid stress concentration on a certain point of the transmission line 9, thereby preventing the transmission line 9 from breaking during the robot's frequent bending actions and ensuring that data can be transmitted stably.

[0041] Working principle: When using the data cable, align the protective cover 3 with the fixing sleeve 1 at the connector 2 and close it. The protective cover 3 is fixed by the fixing adhesive 8 on the side wall. At this time, the fixing sleeve 1 is in contact with the rubber clamp 4 inside the protective cover 3. When the fixing sleeve 1 bends, the rubber clamp 4 bends accordingly. At the same time, the bending of the rubber clamp 4 causes the connecting rod 5 to move inside the protective cover 3. The rubber clamp 4 compresses the spring 7. The spring 7 rebounds to prevent the fixing sleeve 1 from bending excessively and breaking at the connector 2.

[0042] The transmission line 9 is fixed inside the fixed sleeve 1 and connected to the connector 2, responsible for data and signal transmission. When the robot operates in a humid environment, the waterproof rubber coating 10 on the side wall of the fixed sleeve 1 can prevent moisture intrusion and ensure performance. During operation, the data connection line is susceptible to friction and compression. The nylon braided sleeve 11 inside the fixed sleeve 1 can enhance the internal structural strength and wear resistance. At the same time, the silicone sponge 12 on the side wall of the transmission line 9 plays a buffering role when bending, dispersing stress and preventing the transmission line 9 from breaking during the robot's frequent bending actions, thus ensuring stable data transmission.

[0043] The rest of this embodiment is the same as that in Embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained using the methods in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
