Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable chain technology, and in particular to a robotic cable chain tubing package device. Background Technology

[0002] Robot cable drag chains (also known as cable drag chains, energy chains, or tank chains) are mechanical devices used to protect and manage moving cables (such as power lines, signal lines, hydraulic pipes, etc.) in robots and automated equipment. Their core function is to ensure that cables are not worn, twisted, or stretched when the equipment moves repeatedly, thereby extending cable life and ensuring system stability.

[0003] Existing robotic cable carriers can only swing up and down during use and cannot deflect at an angle, resulting in low flexibility and difficulty in adapting to complex and changing working environments. This single degree of freedom limits its application in narrow spaces or scenarios requiring multi-directional movement, leading to easy wear and tear on wiring, limited range of motion, and impact on overall work efficiency. In addition, the lack of deflection function may increase the risk of cable twisting and shorten the service life of the cable carrier.

[0004] Therefore, to address the problem that existing robotic cable carriers can only swing up and down and cannot make angular deflections, resulting in low flexibility, a robotic cable carrier pipeline package device can be designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem that existing robotic cable chains can only swing up and down and cannot make angular deflections, resulting in low flexibility.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a robot drag chain cable packaging device, including a fixed plate; it also includes fixing bolts installed at the four corners of the fixed plate, a mounting seat fixed to the top of the fixed plate, a mounting groove opened on the mounting seat, a bearing embedded in the mounting groove, a connecting shaft set inside the bearing, a turntable installed on the top of the connecting shaft, a connecting column fixed to the top of the turntable, and a support seat set on the top of the connecting column. The turntable is rotatably connected to the mounting seat through the bearing. A positioning mechanism is provided on the top of the support seat, and the internal clamp of the positioning mechanism holds a protective mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, by setting a turntable, the turntable can rotate with the cooperation of bearings, thereby driving the upper support to rotate. The cable is inserted inside the protection mechanism. When the cable is dragged, the support is subjected to lateral drag force and can rotate, thereby achieving 360° angle deflection. This solves the problem that the existing robot cable chain can only swing up and down during use and cannot deflect angles, resulting in low flexibility.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a clamping component and a fixing component, wherein the clamping component is used to clamp and protect the mechanism, and the fixing component is used to fix the clamping component.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes positioning plates, a rotating shaft, and a snap fastener; two positioning plates are mounted on the top of the support, a rotating shaft is installed between the two positioning plates, and a snap fastener is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing component includes a fixing plate; both the support and the back of the buckle are provided with fixing plates, and the two fixing plates are fixed together by screws.

[0011] Preferably, the protection mechanism includes a protective component and a connecting component, wherein the protective component is used to wrap the cable and the connecting component is used to connect to the protective component.

[0012] Preferably, the protective component includes a first arc-shaped plate, a connecting seat, and a second arc-shaped plate; two first arc-shaped plates are clamped between the support seat and the buckle, a connecting seat is fixed between the two first arc-shaped plates, and a second arc-shaped plate is provided at both ends of the connecting seat.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connector, a mating groove, a socket, and a screw hole; the connector is provided on the left side of the connecting base, and the mating groove is provided on the right side of the connecting base. The mating groove is adapted to the connector. The socket is provided through the top of the connector, and the screw hole is provided through the top of the connecting base at the position corresponding to the mating groove. The diameter of the screw hole is smaller than the diameter of the socket.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] By incorporating a rotatable support, the cable chain's freedom of movement is significantly enhanced. It can not only perform conventional up-and-down swinging but also horizontal rotation. This design greatly improves the cable chain's flexibility, enabling it to adapt to more complex spatial trajectories. It effectively reduces twisting and stress concentration during movement. Simultaneously, the multi-directional movement reduces the risk of interference between the cable chain and surrounding components, extending its service life and improving the stability and reliability of equipment operation. This design is particularly suitable for operating conditions requiring large-scale, multi-angle movement, providing an optimized pipeline protection solution for automated equipment.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment: a robot cable carrier device, including a fixed plate 1; it also includes fixing bolts 2 installed at the four corners of the fixed plate 1, a mounting seat 3 fixed to the top of the fixed plate 1, a mounting groove 4 opened on the mounting seat 3, a bearing 5 embedded in the mounting groove 4, a connecting shaft set inside the bearing 5, a turntable 6 installed on the top of the connecting shaft, a connecting column 7 fixed to the top of the turntable 6, and a support seat 8 set on the top of the connecting column 7. The turntable 6 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 3 through the bearing 5. The top of the support seat 8 is provided with a positioning mechanism. The internal clamp of the positioning mechanism holds a protective mechanism. By adopting the design of the turntable 6 cooperating with the bearing 5, the turntable 6 can realize rotational movement, thereby driving the upper support seat 8 to rotate synchronously. The cable is passed through the inside of the protective mechanism. When it is dragged by an external force, the lateral drag force acts on the support seat 8, causing the entire mechanism to achieve 360° all-round deflection.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a clamping component and a fixing component. The clamping component is used to clamp the protective mechanism, and the fixing component is used to fix the clamping component. The clamping component includes a positioning piece 91, a rotating shaft 92, and a snap fastener 93. Two positioning pieces 91 are installed on the top of the support 8, and a rotating shaft 92 is installed between the two positioning pieces 91. A snap fastener 93 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 92. By setting the rotating shaft 92, the snap fastener 93 can rotate around the rotating shaft 92, thereby realizing the opening and closing movement. The fixing component includes a fixing piece 94. Fixing pieces 94 are provided on the rear side of both the support 8 and the snap fastener 93. The two fixing pieces 94 are fixed together by screws. By setting the fixing pieces 94, after the snap fastener 93 is attached to the support 8, the two fixing pieces 94 can be connected by screws, thereby realizing the fixing of the snap fastener 93.

[0025] Please see Figures 2-5In this embodiment, the protection mechanism includes a protective component and a connecting component. The protective component is used to wrap the cable, and the connecting component is used to connect to the protective component. The protective component includes a first arc-shaped plate 101, a connecting seat 102, and a second arc-shaped plate 103. Two first arc-shaped plates 101 are clamped between the support seat 8 and the snap fastener 93, and a connecting seat 102 is fixed between the two first arc-shaped plates 101. The two ends of the connecting seat 102 are provided with second arc-shaped plates 103. By providing the connecting seat 102, multiple holes are opened on the connecting seat 102 for inserting the cable. The connecting component includes a connector 104, a mating groove 105, a socket 106, and a screw hole 107. The connector 104 is provided on the left side of the connecting seat 102 for connecting... A mating groove 105 is provided on the right side of the connector 102. The mating groove 105 is adapted to the connector 104. A socket 106 is provided through the top of the connector 104. A screw hole 107 is provided through the top of the connector 102 at the position corresponding to the mating groove 105. The diameter of the screw hole 107 is smaller than the diameter of the socket 106. By setting the connector 104 and the mating groove 105, multiple connectors 102 can be mated together. After mating, they are fixed with screws. Since the diameter of the screw hole 107 is smaller than the diameter of the socket 106, the connector 104 can rotate slightly inside the mating groove 105. After mating, the second arc plate 103 will fit against the inner side of the corresponding first arc plate 101, which plays a limiting role.

[0026] During operation, the cable passes through the hole in the connector 102 and is encased in a protective shell formed by a first arc-shaped plate 101 and a second arc-shaped plate 103. These first arc-shaped plates 101 and second arc-shaped plates 103 are clamped between the support 8 and the snap fastener 93. The snap fastener 93 is mounted on two positioning pieces 91 on the top of the support 8 via a pivot 92 below it, allowing it to open and close. When the snap fastener 93 closes down and adheres tightly to the support 8, the fixing pieces 94 on the rear sides of both are locked with screws, thus firmly clamping the protective shell. The support 8 is fixed to the turntable 6 via a connecting post 7, and the turntable 6 is mounted in a bearing 5 embedded in the mounting groove 4 of the mounting base 3 via an internal connecting shaft. When the cable is subjected to a lateral drag force generated by the robot's movement, this force is transmitted to the support 8 and the protective shell assembly it clamps, causing... The support seat 8 can drive the turntable 6 to rotate within the bearing 5, thereby achieving a 360° angle deflection of the entire clamping part. When multiple units need to be connected, the connector 104 of one connector 102 is inserted into the mating groove 105 of the adjacent connector 102. Then, a screw is passed through the insertion hole 106 on the connector 104 and screwed into the screw hole 107 on the connector 102 corresponding to the mating groove 105 for fixing. Since the diameter of the screw hole 107 is smaller than the diameter of the insertion hole 106, the connector 104 can still rotate slightly within the mating groove 105 after the screw is tightened. At the same time, the second arc plate 103 will fit against the inner side of the first arc plate 101 of the adjacent unit to play a limiting role. This design allows for a certain relative swing between connected units, further adapting to dragging motion. The entire device is installed on the fixing plate 1 by fixing bolts 2.

[0027] Through the above steps, the turntable 6 can rotate flexibly with the support of the bearing 5, and drive the support seat 8 above to rotate synchronously. The cable runs through the inside of the protection mechanism. When subjected to external drag force, the lateral force acting on the support seat 8 will drive the turntable 6 to rotate along the bearing 5, so that the entire system can achieve 360° deflection without dead angle. This design ensures the coordinated operation of the turntable 6, bearing 5, support seat 8 and protection mechanism, which can effectively transmit torque and eliminate the risk of cable twisting caused by unidirectional force. This solves the problem that the existing robot cable chain can only swing up and down and cannot deflect at an angle, resulting in low flexibility.
