Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of robot wiring auxiliary components, and in particular to a wiring device for robot cables. Background Technology

[0002] In today's highly automated and intelligent industrial production and service sectors, industrial robots, as core execution equipment, are increasingly widely used. The efficient and precise operation of industrial robots relies on the stable support of various cables. These cables undertake important functions such as power transmission, signal transmission, and data communication, and are the "nerve network" that ensures the coordinated operation of all components of the industrial robot.

[0003] With the continuous development of industrial robot technology, their working scenarios are becoming increasingly complex and diverse, and the requirements for motion flexibility, operational precision, and work efficiency are also increasing. Against this backdrop, the moving parts of industrial robots need to move frequently, rapidly, and in multiple dimensions to complete various delicate or heavy tasks.

[0004] However, in actual operation, the cables of industrial robots are often dragged around arbitrarily as the robotic arm, joints, and other moving parts move. This situation makes the cables very prone to tangling, that is, the cables become tangled and knotted during movement. This not only affects the normal movement trajectory of the industrial robot and reduces work efficiency, but may also cause the internal wires of the cable to break or the insulation layer to be damaged due to excessive pulling. In addition, the cables frequently rub against the industrial robot body or other parts during movement. Prolonged friction will accelerate the wear of the cable sheath, reduce its insulation performance, and thus cause safety hazards such as short circuits and leakage, seriously shortening the service life of the cables.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main objective is to provide a wiring device for robot cables.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A cable routing device for a robot includes a mounting base, a first cable routing component, and a second cable routing component. The mounting base has a mounting seat for connecting to the robot on one side. The first cable routing component is located at one end of the mounting base and is used for routing electrical circuits. The second cable routing component is located at the other end of the mounting base and is distributed in parallel with the first cable routing component for routing pneumatic circuits.

[0009] As further explained, the first thread-following assembly includes a first thread-following cylinder, a movable cylinder, and two sets of first bearings; the first thread-following cylinder is fixedly mounted on the fixed base; the movable cylinder is movably connected inside the first thread-following cylinder; the two sets of first bearings are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the first thread-following cylinder and located on the outer sides of both ends of the movable cylinder; the first bearings are detachably connected to the first thread-following cylinder.

[0010] As further explained, the first bearing is provided with a quick-release seat between the first straightening drum and the first straightening drum, and the first bearing is fixedly connected to the quick-release seat; the quick-release seat is respectively provided at both ends of the first straightening drum and is connected to the first straightening drum by screws.

[0011] As a further explanation, a first guide block is provided on one side of the quick-assembly seat; a first guide groove corresponding to the first guide block is provided on the inner wall of the first spool.

[0012] As further explained, the movable cylinder is provided with an elastic layer for fixing the cable.

[0013] As further explained, the movable cylinder and the first straightening cylinder have a direct movable gap.

[0014] As further explained, the second air-line assembly includes a second air-line cylinder for fixing the air-line path; the bottom end of the second air-line cylinder is provided with a rotating seat that is fixedly connected to the fixed seat; a second bearing is fixedly connected inside the rotating seat, the inner end of the second bearing is fixedly connected to the second air-line cylinder, and the mounting seat is located on one side of the rotating seat; a locking assembly for locking is provided between the rotating seat and the second air-line cylinder.

[0015] As further explained, the locking assembly includes a bearing cover and a bearing locking cover; the bearing cover and the bearing locking cover are respectively distributed vertically within the rotating seat, and the bearing cover is located below the fixed seat, with the bearing cover abutting against the contact surface between the bearing cover and the fixed seat; the bearing cover and the rotating seat are fixedly connected by screws, and the bearing locking cover is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the second spool.

[0016] As further explained, the mounting base is equipped with a quick-release assembly for quick detachment from the robot; the quick-release assembly includes an L-shaped plate and a fixing rod; the L-shaped plate is located on the side of the mounting base away from the robot; the fixing rod is movably connected to the L-shaped plate; the fixing rod has a protrusion in the middle and a limiting part at the end of the fixing rod located on the side of the L-shaped plate on the mounting base away from the robot; a return spring is provided between the protrusion and the L-shaped plate; the mounting plate is equipped with a limiting block for quick positioning.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:

[0018] By setting up a first and a second cable routing assembly, the electrical and pneumatic lines are routed in an orderly manner. Specifically, in the first cable routing assembly, a movable cylinder is movably connected inside the first cable routing cylinder, with a gap between the movable cylinder and the first cable routing cylinder.

Similarly, in the second cable routing assembly, the second cable routing cylinder is connected to a fixed base via a rotating seat and a second bearing, allowing the pneumatic lines within the second cable routing cylinder to rotate flexibly relative to the fixed base. This design ensures that the cables move smoothly within the first and second cable routing assemblies as they move with the robot's moving parts, preventing cables from being dragged arbitrarily. This effectively prevents cables from tangling or knotting, ensuring that the industrial robot can move normally along a predetermined trajectory, improving work efficiency, and reducing the risk of cable breakage or insulation damage due to excessive pulling or external friction.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, a cable routing device for a robot is provided, including a mounting base 10, a first cable routing assembly 20, and a second cable routing assembly 30. A mounting base 11 for connection to a robot 60 is provided on one side of the mounting base 10. The first cable routing assembly 20 is located at one end of the mounting base 10 and is used for routing electrical circuits. The second cable routing assembly 30 is located at the other end of the mounting base 10 and is distributed parallel to the first cable routing assembly 20, and is used for routing pneumatic circuits.

[0039] By setting up a first cable routing assembly 20 and a second cable routing assembly 30, the electrical circuits and pneumatic circuits are routed in an orderly manner, respectively. Specifically, the movable cylinder 22 in the first cable routing assembly 20 is movably connected to the first cable routing cylinder 21, and there is a gap between the movable cylinder 22 and the first cable routing cylinder 21, allowing the electrical circuits to rotate flexibly relative to the first cable routing cylinder 21 under the action of the first bearing 23 and the movable cylinder 22. Similarly, the second cable routing cylinder 31 in the second cable routing assembly 30 is connected to the fixed base 10 through the rotating seat 32 and the second bearing 33, allowing the pneumatic circuits in the second cable routing cylinder 31 to rotate flexibly relative to the fixed base 10. This design allows each cable to move smoothly within the first cable routing assembly 20 and the second cable routing assembly 30 when it moves with the moving parts of the robot 60, avoiding the cables from being dragged randomly. This effectively prevents the cables from getting tangled or knotted, ensuring that the industrial robot 60 can move normally along the predetermined trajectory, improving work efficiency, and reducing the risk of cable breakage or insulation damage due to excessive pulling or external friction.

[0040] Preferably, the first cable guiding assembly 20 includes a first cable guiding cylinder 21, a movable cylinder 22, and two sets of first bearings 23. The first cable guiding cylinder 21 is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 10. The movable cylinder 22 is movably connected inside the first cable guiding cylinder 21. The two sets of first bearings 23 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the first cable guiding cylinder 21 and located on the outer sides of both ends of the movable cylinder 22. The first bearings 23 are detachably connected to the first cable guiding cylinder 21. By setting the first cable guiding cylinder 21, the movable cylinder 22, and the first bearings 23, the cable is fixed by the movable cylinder 22, and the movable cylinder 22 can rotate relative to the first cable guiding cylinder 21 when the robot 60 moves, allowing the cable to move freely within a certain range, adapting to the dynamic changes of the cable when the robot 60 moves, and effectively avoiding the cable from becoming tangled, broken, or having its insulation layer damaged due to excessive pulling. At the same time, the setting of the first bearings 23 reduces the friction between the cable and the first cable guiding cylinder 21, reduces wear, extends the service life of the cable guiding device, and also indirectly protects the cable.

[0041] Furthermore, a quick-release seat 24 is provided between the first bearing 23 and the first cable guide spool 21, and the first bearing 23 is fixedly connected to the quick-release seat 24. The quick-release seats 24 are respectively located at both ends of the first cable guide spool 21 and are connected to the first cable guide spool 21 by screws. By setting the quick-release seat 24, the installation and removal of the first bearing 23 are more convenient and quick. When the first bearing 23 is damaged or needs to be replaced, there is no need to disassemble the entire cable routing device on a large scale. The quick-release seat 24 can be removed and the first bearing 23 can be replaced simply by operating the screws. This greatly shortens the maintenance time, reduces the maintenance cost, improves the maintainability of the equipment, and reduces the downtime of the robot 60 due to maintenance.

[0042] Furthermore, a first guide block 25 is provided on one side of the quick-release base 24. A first guide groove corresponding to the first guide block 25 is provided on the inner wall of the first spool 21. By setting the first guide block 25 and the first guide groove, the quick-release base 24 is provided with precise guidance and positioning, ensuring that the quick-release base 24 can be accurately fixed on the first spool 21 during installation and use, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement of the movable cylinder 22 within the first spool 21.

[0043] Furthermore, the movable cylinder 22 is provided with an elastic layer 221 for fixing the cable. In this embodiment, the elastic layer 221 is made of a flexible material with elasticity, such as silicone or rubber. By setting the elastic layer 221, it can play a role in buffering and shock absorption, reducing the amplitude of cable swaying within the movable cylinder 22, reducing the friction between the cable and the inner wall of the movable cylinder 22, thereby reducing wear on the cable sheath and extending the cable's service life. At the same time, the elastic layer 221 can also play a certain role in fixing the cable, preventing the cable from moving freely within the movable cylinder 22.

[0044] Furthermore, the movable cylinder 22 and the first cable guide cylinder 21 have a direct clearance. By setting this clearance, sufficient space is provided for the free movement of the movable cylinder 22, avoiding jamming or increased friction caused by excessive tightness between the movable cylinder 22 and the first cable guide cylinder 21. This ensures smooth cable routing during the movement of the robot 60 and improves the working efficiency and reliability of the industrial robot 60.

[0045] Preferably, the second cable guiding assembly 30 includes a second cable guiding cylinder 31 for fixing the air cable path. The bottom end of the second cable guiding cylinder 31 is provided with a rotating seat 32 fixedly connected to the fixed seat 10. A second bearing 33 is fixedly connected inside the rotating seat 32, and the inner end of the second bearing 33 is fixedly connected to the second cable guiding cylinder 31. The mounting seat 11 is located on one side of the rotating seat 32. A locking assembly for locking is provided between the rotating seat 32 and the second cable guiding cylinder 31. By setting the second cable guiding cylinder 31 and the rotating seat 32, the air cable path is fixed by the second cable guiding cylinder 31. Under the action of the second bearing 33, the second cable guiding cylinder 31 can rotate flexibly relative to the rotating seat 32, adapting to the dynamic changes of the cable when the robot 60 moves. This avoids problems such as cable tangling and pulling due to the inability of the cable to adapt to the movement of the robot 60, ensuring the normal routing of the circuit lines and improving the movement flexibility and reliability of the industrial robot 60.

[0046] Specifically, the locking assembly includes a bearing cap 41 and a bearing locking cover 42. The bearing cap 41 and bearing locking cover 42 are respectively positioned vertically within the rotating seat 32, with the bearing cap 41 located below the fixed seat 10 and abutting against the contact surface between the bearing cap 41 and the fixed seat 10. The bearing cap 41 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 32 by screws, and the bearing locking cover 42 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the second wire-straightening drum 31. By providing the bearing cap 41 and bearing locking cover 42, the second wire-straightening drum 31 can be securely locked onto the rotating seat 32 after installation, ensuring that the second wire-straightening drum 31 remains stable during the movement of the robot 60 and will not loosen or shift due to vibration or external forces. This ensures stable wiring and improves the safety and reliability of the industrial robot 60.

[0047] Preferably, the mounting base 11 is provided with a quick-release assembly for quick release to the robot 60. The quick-release assembly includes an L-shaped plate 50 and a fixing rod 51. The L-shaped plate 50 is located on the side of the mounting base 11 away from the robot 60. The fixing rod 51 is movably connected to the L-shaped plate 50. The fixing rod 51 has a protrusion 52 in the middle and a limiting part 53 at its end located on the side of the L-shaped plate 50 on the mounting base 11 away from the robot 60. A return spring 55 is provided between the protrusion 52 and the L-shaped plate 50. The mounting plate is provided with a limiting block 54 for quick positioning.

[0048] In this embodiment, the robot 60 is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting block 54. The limiting block 54 can enter or disengage from the limiting groove, and the end of the limiting groove is provided with a fixing hole corresponding to the fixing rod 51. By setting a quick-release assembly, the wiring device can be quickly and easily installed on or removed from the robot 60. By operating the fixing rod 51 and utilizing the elasticity of the return spring 55, the fixing rod 51 can be fixed in or pulled out of the fixing hole, which can easily realize the quick connection and separation between the wiring device and the robot 60, greatly shortening the installation and disassembly time of the equipment, improving production efficiency, reducing downtime caused by equipment replacement, and also facilitating the maintenance and repair of the wiring device. At the same time, by setting the limiting block 54, an accurate positioning reference is provided for the installation of the wiring device on the robot 60. During the installation process, simply aligning the limiting block 54 with the limiting groove on the robot 60 can quickly and accurately complete the installation of the wiring device, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the installation.

[0049] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present utility model. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model, as well as other specific embodiments of the present utility model that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort, should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
