Description
The present invention relates to a tube guide apparatus, and more particularly, to a tube guide apparatus for an industrial robot that guides movement of a tube to prevent damage to a tube including a cable used in an industrial robot.
Generally, an industrial robot is used in an automobile factory or a factory that manufactures various products, and includes a plurality of arms and a head mounted with various tools that can move in various directions. The head is provided with a tube containing a plurality of cables such as a power cable, an operating cable, a water cable, etc., which are arranged along the outside of the arm.
Such an industrial robot carries out a manufacturing work process by moving and rotating an arm and a head. At this time, due to the relative movement of the arm and the head, the tube connected to the head is fixed to the outer side of the arm and is loosened repeatedly.
If the length of the tube is changed and loosened as described above, the cable or wiring inside the tube may be damaged due to twisting or bending.
In order to prevent the cables and the heads of the industrial robots from moving relative to each other while the cables are moving relative to each other, a device for preventing cable from loosening is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0743612 (July 23, 2007) entitled "Lt; / RTI > This prior art has a moving body which fixes a cable hose and moves on a water rail, and a support which is disposed at a position spaced apart from the moving body and held in a fixed state and is coupled to the cable hose.
In the above-described prior art, the cable hose moves along the inner circumferential surface of the fixture while the moving body moves relative to the fixture. Such a structure has a problem that stability and durability of the operation are deteriorated because the relative movement occurs in a state where the fixed body and the cable hose are continuously frictioned.
A prior art for solving such a problem is disclosed in Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0441888 (September 09, 2008) entitled " Cable Control Apparatus for Industrial Robots ". In this prior art, the front and rear shift tables and the tube turning sections are provided in a straight line on the main body to prevent the cable from being loosened and twisted by the rotation of the tube turning section when the cable tube is twisted.
However, in such a structure, when the cable tube is twisted, the tube rotation part rotates in the left-right direction, so that bending or damage may still occur in the cable or electric wire inside the cable tube.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a tube guiding device for an industrial robot which can stably protect a cable and the like by preventing bending of a tube having a cable built therein.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a robot comprising: a base portion coupled to an arm of a robot, the base portion including a stopper support, a support rod spaced apart from the stopper support, and a guide channel connecting the stopper support and the support; A tube moving holder unit provided on the guide channel and moving in a longitudinal direction of the guide channel while holding the tube of the arm; A tube fixing holder provided on the stopper support and holding the tube in a fixed state; And an elastic body which is supported by the stopper supporter at one side portion and is supported by the tube movement holder portion of the region disposed inside the guide channel to elastically restore the tube movement holder portion, And the tube is guided by the guiding channel, and the tube is held while being slid on the guide channel while being accommodated in the guide channel.
Wherein the tube moving holder unit is accommodated in the guide channel and is moved in the longitudinal direction of the guide channel while being accommodated in the guide channel; And a tube holder provided on the moving holder body and holding the tube, and protruding outside the guide channel and moving together with the tube.
And an elastic fixing rod for supporting the elastic body is provided on one side of the moving holder body and a buffer member for buffering collision between the other side portion and the supporting base is provided on the supporting base in a region where the other side portion of the moving holder body is contacted .
The tube fixing holder portion includes a tube fixing holder detachably coupled to a fastening flange of the stopper support; And a tube ball joint sleeve detachably coupled to the tube holder and holding the tube.
The elastic body includes a compression spring, one end of the compression spring is supported by the elastic fixture rod, and the other side is supported by an elastic support rod provided on the inner wall of the stopper support.
The base portion includes an elastic supporting rod which is disposed inside the guide channel and has one end coupled to the stopper support and the other end connected to the support through an area of the tube movement holder portion disposed inside the guide channel And the tube movement holder part is moved in the longitudinal direction of the guide channel while being guided by the elastic body support rod, thereby compressing the elastic body.
In the embodiments of the present invention, the base portion is provided as a guide channel connecting the stopper supporter and the supporter, the tube is held at two points of the tube movement holding portion and the tube fixture portion, and the lower portion of the tube movement holder portion Since the tube is held while being slid on the guide channel in the accommodated state, the tube can be prevented from twisting and bending even when the arm of the robot suddenly pivots, so that the cable or the wire inside the tube can be stably protected.
