The protection tube 300 may be made of a flexible material (e.g., rubber, silicone, etc.).

11 and 15, the protective tube 300 may be formed in such a manner that the chain block 210 constituting the chain assembly 200 partially extends to the inner side of the side jacket portion 120 directly Thereby preventing the side jacket portion 120 from being torn due to partial friction.

In addition, the protective tube 300 allows the chain block 210, which constitutes the chain assembly 200, to be laminated inside the chain block particles generated by repeated linear or rotational movement.

Accordingly, the protection tube 300 may be constructed such that the protective tube 300 and the chain assembly 200 are integrally separated from the side jacket 120 to remove chain block particles generated by repeated use The protection tube 300 may be removed and the chain assembly 200 may be cleaned and replaced with a new protection tube. Since the jacket-type robotic chain according to the embodiment of the present invention can easily clean the inside of the side jacket portion 120 which is relatively expensive, the maintenance and maintenance of the side jacket portion 120 120) in terms of durability in terms of cost and time saving.

In addition, the protection tube 300 may be formed to prevent the chain block 210, which constitutes the chain assembly 200, from colliding against the side jacket portion 120 by repetitive linear or rotational movements, So that the inner wall particles of the side jacket portion 120 are prevented from contamination of the chain assembly 200.

7, the protection tube 300 is attached to the clamp 400 installed at the fixed end and the moving end of the jacket 100 and includes a block 210 at both ends of the chain assembly 200 The chain block 200 on both ends of the chain assembly 200 is protected in the protective tube 300 in a state of being wrapped around the protective tube 300 The clamp 400 can be assembled into the clamp 400 in a state shown in FIG.

As described above, the jacket-type robotic chain according to the present invention increases the durability of the jacket portion through the double protection structure of the chain assembly, facilitates maintenance thereof, and reduces the phenomenon that the inner wall of the jacket portion is damaged due to wear To cause the sidewall particles in the jacket to essentially block the contamination of the chain block.

In addition, the jacket-type robotic chain according to the present invention can be assembled in all directions when the chain blocks are connected and assembled, thereby facilitating assembly convenience.

In addition, the jacket-type robotic chain according to the present invention can stably guide the movement of the cables into a partly linear state or a bending state by applying a guide structure for guiding the relative axial rotation movement between the chain blocks, Disperses the generated component fatigue on the chain block, and reduces the occurrence of vibration and noise due to wear of the connecting pin.

Furthermore, the jacket-type robotic chain according to the present invention enables simplification of the structure of the clamp without changing the shape of the blocks on both end sides of the chain assembly.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it should be understood that the present invention is by way of example only and that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible on the basis of common knowledge in the art . Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined based on the specific contents of the above-mentioned invention in accordance with the claims to be described below.
