Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fixing component for a cable conduit in a robotic arm, belonging to the field of robotics technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of robotics, the secure cable management of robotic arms is a crucial aspect of ensuring their proper operation. A well-designed cable management system not only guarantees the safety and stability of the cables during robotic arm movement but also enhances the overall aesthetics and reliability of the robotic arm.

[0003] The existing methods for fixing the cable conduits of robotic arms have many drawbacks:

[0004] Complex structure and inconvenient operation: Some fixed devices have complicated structural designs, and the installation and disassembly processes are complicated, which increases the difficulty of operation and time costs for operators, and is not conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0005] Risk of scratches: Traditional fixing methods such as metal clamps are prone to friction with the surface of the robotic arm during the fixing process due to the high hardness of the metal material, which can lead to scratches and wear on the surface of the robotic arm, affecting its appearance and service life.

[0006] Insufficient aesthetics: While fastening methods such as Velcro straps and cable ties can secure cables to some extent, they do not coordinate well with the appearance of the robot or robotic arm, affecting the overall aesthetics. This deficiency is particularly prominent in industrial and service scenarios where appearance is a critical factor.

[0007] Taking the corrugated pipe fixing bracket with authorization announcement number CN214889326U as an example, it fixes the corrugated pipe through the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring. Although the retaining strip on the inner side of the second retaining ring can hold the corrugated pipe, the overall structure is still somewhat complex, and the problem of possible scratches when the fixing part comes into contact with the robotic arm has not been solved. Utility Model Content

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a fixing component for a robotic arm cable conduit. This component is simple in structure, reliable in installation, can effectively protect the surface of the robotic arm, and has a harmonious appearance, thereby achieving stable fixing and safe operation of the robotic arm cable conduit.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0010] A fixing component for a robotic arm cable conduit includes an annular clamp. The annular clamp includes a first retaining ring and two second retaining rings. The ends of the first retaining ring are respectively connected to the two second retaining rings. The two second retaining rings are used to fix the cable. An inner limiting rib is provided on the opposite side of each of the two second retaining rings.

[0011] Preferably, through holes for placing bolts are reserved at the connection points between the first retaining ring end and the two second retaining rings.

[0012] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the first retaining ring is provided with an EVA gasket.

[0013] Preferably, the annular clamp has a gourd-shaped symmetrical structure.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] The ring clamp adopts a gourd-shaped symmetrical structure, consisting of a first retaining ring and a second retaining ring. The overall structure is simple and clear. It can be connected to the robotic arm by passing a bolt through the through hole at the connection between the first and second retaining rings. The installation and disassembly process is simple and quick, which greatly improves the operating efficiency and reduces labor costs.

[0016] The EVA pad installed on the inner wall of the first retaining ring can provide cushioning protection when the fixing part comes into contact with the robotic arm, avoiding the scratch problem caused by direct contact between the traditional metal clamp and the robotic arm, effectively protecting the appearance and surface quality of the robotic arm, and extending the service life of the robotic arm.

[0017] The inner limiting rib on the inner side of the second retaining ring can firmly clamp the cable pipe or lock the groove of the corrugated pipe, forming a reliable fixing effect, ensuring that the cable pipe will not be displaced or loosened during the movement of the robotic arm, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the robotic arm cable system.

[0018] The fastener structure of this utility model has a compact and smooth design that coordinates with the appearance of the robotic arm. It avoids the appearance inconsistencies caused by fastening methods such as magic straps and bracing, and improves the overall aesthetics of the robotic arm. It is suitable for various industrial and service scenarios with high requirements for appearance. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, a fixing component for a robotic arm cable conduit includes an annular clamp 1, which adopts a symmetrical structure with a gourd shape around its central plane. This design not only gives the fixing component good symmetry and stability, but also facilitates installation and positioning on the robotic arm. The annular clamp 1 includes a first retaining ring 111 and two second retaining rings 112, which are mainly used to connect with the robotic arm to realize the installation of the fixing component on the robotic arm. The inner wall of the first retaining ring 111 is flat, providing a good base surface for subsequent installation of EVA gaskets 2. The ends of the first retaining ring 111 are respectively connected to the two second retaining rings 112. The two second retaining rings 112 form an annular part for fixing the cable. Each of the two second retaining rings 112 has an inner limiting rib 113 on its opposite side. The inner limiting rib 113 can effectively form a claw for clamping the cable conduit or locking the groove of the corrugated pipe, thereby realizing the stable fixing of the cable conduit and preventing the cable conduit from shifting during the movement of the robotic arm.

[0026] The first retaining ring 111 and the connection between it and the two second retaining rings 112 are both provided with through holes for placing bolts. By passing the bolts through the through holes, the first retaining ring 111 can be firmly connected to the robotic arm, ensuring the stability of the fixing component on the robotic arm.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an EVA gasket 2 is provided on the inner wall of the first retaining ring 111. The EVA gasket 2 has an adhesive backing on one side, which can be firmly attached to the inner wall of the first retaining ring 111. The EVA gasket 2 has a soft texture and good deformability. When the ring clamp 1 is locked onto the robotic arm by bolts, the EVA gasket 2 can form a buffer layer between the first retaining ring 111 and the surface of the robotic arm, effectively preventing the ring clamp 1 from scratching the robotic arm when it is locked. At the same time, the deformability of the EVA gasket 2 allows it to adapt to the surface of robotic arms of different sizes, improving the versatility and installation adaptability of the fastener.

[0028] It should be noted that in practical applications, the EVA gasket 2 on the inner wall of the first retaining ring 111 can be replaced with materials such as rubber or TPU that have soft deformation characteristics, depending on actual needs. These materials can also provide good cushioning and protection, adapting to different usage scenarios and robotic arm surface materials. This utility model effectively solves the problems existing in the current robotic arm cable pipe fixing methods through simple structural design and reasonable material selection. It has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, good protection performance, and stable and reliable fixing. It is suitable for fixing cable pipes of various types of robotic arms and has broad industrial application prospects.

[0029] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: First, confirm the model of the robotic arm to be installed and the specifications of the cable conduit. Select a suitable size fixing component of this utility model. Clean the area on the robotic arm where the fixing component will be installed, ensuring the installation surface is clean, flat, and free of oil, dust, and other impurities to guarantee the reliability of the EVA gasket 2 and bolt connection. Securely attach the EVA gasket 2 to the inner wall of the first retaining ring 111 using adhesive, ensuring the EVA gasket 2 completely covers the area where the first retaining ring 111 contacts the robotic arm, avoiding air bubbles or poor adhesion. Align the first retaining ring 111 of the annular clamp 1 with the installation position on the robotic arm, ensuring a tight fit between the first retaining ring 111 and the surface of the robotic arm. At this point, the annular portion formed by the two second retaining rings 112 is used to accommodate the cable conduit. Insert and tighten the bolt through the pre-drilled hole at the connection between the first retaining ring 111 and the second retaining ring 112, fixing the annular clamp 1 to the robotic arm. During bolt tightening, ensure the force is moderate to avoid excessive force. Excessive deformation of the EVA pad 2 or damage to the surface of the robotic arm can cause damage. Place the cable conduit to be fixed within the annular portion formed by the two second retaining rings 112, ensuring the outer wall of the cable conduit contacts the inner limiting rib 113 on the inner side of the second retaining ring 112. For cable conduits with grooved structures, such as corrugated pipes, the inner limiting rib 113 can be inserted into the groove for a more secure fixation. Check the position of the cable conduit to ensure it is neatly arranged within the annular portion without twisting or knotting. If necessary, the position of the cable conduit can be finely adjusted to ensure smooth movement of the cable conduit during robotic arm operation. When disassembling the fixing components or maintaining the cable conduit, loosen the bolts and remove the annular clamp 1. During disassembly, avoid pulling on the cable conduit to prevent damage. Check the wear condition of the EVA pad 2; if damaged or aged, replace it with a new EVA pad 2 to ensure the protective performance and installation reliability of the fixing components.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
