Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

This invention relates to a cable for reciprocating the moving path in favor of cable hose which is connected to the movable part of the machine
The present invention relates to a support and guide device for cables and hoses in a chain for supporting movement of a cable.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a method of using a chain for supporting cable movement in piping of hydraulic pressure or air to a movable portion of a machine and wiring of electric wires has been generally performed. Cable movement support cable
There are various ways to use the chain . For example, in a large machining center as shown in FIG.
Because of the large amount of axial movement, the cable
In many cases, a hanging portion is provided on the chain 102 for supporting the bull movement .

[0003]

[Challenges devised to solve the above hair was described in the prior art
When the cable moving support chain is provided with a hanging portion, if the cable hose is long and heavy, the weight of the hanging portion concentrates on a specific shelf board 104 on the outer periphery of the guide wheel 103 and covers the outer periphery of the hose. Excessive surface pressure is applied, and if the operation is performed for a long time in this state, the coating is worn away and damaged, so that there is a problem that periodic inspection and replacement of the cable hose are required. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the related art, and an object of the present invention is to prevent the weight of the cable hose of the hanging portion from being applied to a specific shelf board so as to prevent the cable hose from being hung. The present invention provides a cable and hose support / guiding device that prevents damage to a cable.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, a cable and hose supporting and guiding device according to the present invention is used for supporting a cable moving and reciprocating along a moving path while supporting a cable , a hose and the like connected to a moving body. Chain reciprocation
Partially suspended from a horizontal state via a guide member during movement
In a type used in a state where the cable is moved in a range in which the chain for supporting the cable movement is moved on the guide member.
In the cable, the the one or two every shelf among a plurality of shelf plates for guiding and inserting the hose cable, flat is an elastic material in which two divided by the hole for inserting the hose Cave
Le, are those solid deposited in a state of sandwiching the hose.

[0005]

[Function] As the moving object approaches the guide car, the cable moves.
Although the hanging portion of the support chain becomes longer, for example, the middle of the cable hose is supported by hose fixing means provided on every other or every other shelf, so the shelf on the guide car As a result, the weight of the hose at the descent portion is reduced, and damage to the cable hose is reduced.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. A chain 3 for supporting cable movement is provided between a fixed part 1 of the machine and a movable body 2 which can move in a horizontal direction. The chain 3 for supporting cable movement has a plurality of shelves 4 between two chains in which a plurality of links are rotatably connected, and a plurality of shelves 4 are provided in holes 4 a formed in the shelves 4. Cable hose 5 for pressure fluid is inserted with a gap,
The hole 4a is formed to be about 10% larger than the outer diameter of the cable hose 5 in order to obtain this clearance. This cable
Chain 3 for Bull movable support has guide wheels 6 are rotatably provided in a position to change the direction from horizontal to vertical, cable
Rollers 3 a provided on both sides of the chain 3 for supporting the bull movement engage with grooves on the outer periphery of the guide wheel 6 to smoothly change the direction.

The fixed part 1 below the guide wheel 6 has a cable.
The chain for bull movement support is fixed downward,
Vertically hanging from guideway 6 for supporting cable movement
The chain 3 is bent in a U-shape and the moving body 1 is
, The sagging part becomes longer. Hose fixing devices 7 as shown in FIG. 2 are attached to the shelf 4 every other or every other range within a range that moves on the outer periphery of the guide wheel 6 according to the movement of the moving body 1. The hose fixing device 7 includes a pair of hose retainers 8 formed by dividing a flat plate made of an elastic material such as nitrile rubber having a plurality of holes 8a having substantially the same diameter as the outer diameter of the cable hose 5 in one line into two parts from the center of the holes 8a. Is connected to the bolt 1 via an L-shaped
1 is fixed on the shelf board, and has a bolt 13 for pressing the hose retainer 8 against the cable hose 5.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
When the moving body 2 moves to the horizontal guide vehicle 6, the cable
The vertical sag of the moving support chain 3 becomes gradually longer, and the weight of the cable hose at the sag is reduced by the guide wheel 6.
It is reduced by a hose fixing device 7 provided on every other or every other shelf plate on the shelf plate 4 at the position on the outer periphery, and the hole 4a of the shelf plate on the outer periphery of the guide shaft and the outer periphery of the cable hose are reduced. Prevents excessive surface pressure from being applied to the coating and prevents the cable hose from fraying even after a long operation.

[0009]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. Means for securing the hose to every third or every other chain shelves cable movement supporting provided, cable, centrally acting hose weight on shelves on the guide wheel periphery, cables, hoses Prevents excessive surface pressure on the outer jacket and damage caused by fraying, extending the life of cables and hoses.
The inspection and replacement pitch can be extended. Also fixed
The distance between the measuring device and the cable or hose can withstand its own weight.
With sufficient clearance between the shelf and the hose in the rest.
With a long and smooth bend, partially bent
Can be prevented from being concentrated.
