Abstract

The invention relates to an energy guiding chain for guiding hoses, cables and the like, having a number of chain links connected to one another in articulated fashion which are formed by parallel straps connected by cross-members, where the energy guiding chain can be moved in such a way that it forms an upper strand, a lower strand and a deflection zone connecting the two. In order to provide an energy guiding chain with chain links having improved strength, especially in case of long chain links, it is proposed that the chain links are provided with two cross-members (22) at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the chain on one narrow side (19) of chain link.

Description

579409 Case No. 9011063 Amendment V. Description of the Invention (1) The present invention relates to energy, which has many chain links, formed by parallel narrow bands, energy, lower strands, and connections. In several uses, meters or more Spectrum. The rate of movement is such that the movement energy is placed on the lower strand. When traveling, the guide chain will reach a substantial moving surface. The upper strand and the length of the guide chain will also be%. The result of this length change. Energy-guided hoses, etc., will send the object of the present invention into the chain of stability. According to the present invention, this is provided with two horizontal pieces, which are used to guide the volume of the key bar and guide the volume of the lead. The lead chain is changed by the tension of the bottom strand. Energy driven bar. In phase, in the meanwhile, it is the corresponding design strip of the chain for the guide cables, hoses, etc. to be connected to each other. The strips connected by the cross members can be moved so that the upper guide chain is equivalent. Long, can be at 100 must have a corresponding high driving power, especially the sliding friction corresponding to the upper strand of the energy guiding chain, extremely long energy must be overcome. Friction of the key joints increases friction. The energy guides the chain to move, so the energy will reach the rough clearance of the unstressed key, the original clearance between the 8 nodes and the original elasticity of the chain will be extended, which will stress the energy of the chain. An energy-guided chain has an improved solution. The chain links are longitudinally spaced apart from each other on a narrow side.

Page 5 579409 _Case No. 90110063_ Year Month Amendment _ V. Description of the Invention (2) At least some chain links of the upper strand and / or lower strand are provided with rollers, and the configuration is such that when the energy guiding chain travels, It can roll on the running surface provided by the chain link of the opposite strand. Therefore, the upper strand can be designed as simple as possible to minimize the power and wear, and move above the lower strand. Herein, the roller referred to in the present invention should be used as a component, and when it contacts the running surface, it will rotate and move relative to it. For example, the area where the chain narrow strip protrudes from the side can be used as the running surface. As a result, the upper strand can travel directly on the lower strand using a roller, and the friction between the upper strand and the lower strand drops sharply due to the roller provided in accordance with the present invention. For example, the friction of the energy guiding chain of the present invention is about 6 times or more less than that of a conventional energy guiding chain of a similar design, which means that with the same driving force, the chain can be 6 times or more longer. In addition, as a result of the roller, the elongation is much smaller than that of a conventional energy guide chain traveling at the same speed. The wear on the contact surfaces between the upper and lower strands was also significantly reduced. Since the running surface of the roller of the opposite strand is just on the chain link, the energy guide chain can be designed to be extremely light, which means that the length of the energy guide chain and its traveling speed can be correspondingly increased. The rollers can be mounted directly on the chain straps with suitable bearings, and the roller seats can be designed for moderate stability. Therefore, no separate connector is required. The roller is preferably located in a recess provided on the chain narrow belt, wherein the roller faces opposite

Page 6 j / y ^ yjy V. Description of the invention (3) The protruding part of the strand is at least slightly lined with the chain roller. In this case, the connection is formed, and the side of the running surface within the case, that is, the internal design energy is formed in this way. In order to ensure the large size, the width must be reduced, and the center axis of the chain must be reduced. In each case of the draw chain, a narrow belt can be used to facilitate the horizontal connection between the wheels. In particular, the chain is improved, and the narrow belt can be connected. With adjacent narrow bands on the sides 90110063

The cross-section of the chain is slightly beyond the surface of the chain, and the continuous running table height is very small. The chain is narrow and straight to the pocket of the energy. The guiding surface of the chain should be pressed when necessary. The narrow side of the chain can be faced, so the content of the guide chain is only 10% of the surface. The narrow side of the narrow sideband can be distributed longitudinally on the narrow side with the necessary pieces. If the side can be connected to the top of the qualitative connection section in several time positions, it is set to open, the difference is in the chain 0 but connected, especially, it must be horizontal and bottom. In this case, the narrow axis of the rotating shaft of the roller facing the opposite strand is directly designed to extend in the energy guiding chain, especially in the joint section of the key strip. The recess of the receiving roller can be closed in the longitudinal direction of the chain strip. The side opening makes it possible to completely close the pressure to the minimum. The width of the roller should be as wide as possible. There should be a joint in the roller area or the longitudinal direction of the key strip. Two or more rollers. Bearing stress on the roller. In the middle of the strip or two or more rolls, the narrow side of the narrow strip is preferably on the side strip of the two cross section or the end section. This is the case of long links. In this way, it can also be connected by only three or two horizontal members. The special advantage is that part of the cover is covered on the horizontal member.

Page 579409 _Case No. 90110063_ Years and Months Amendment _ V. Description of the invention (4) The distance between adjacent transverse members on the narrow side of the narrow band and the length of the narrow band caused by the fully enclosed cable trough should have no rollers The distance between the chain links is twice. Links with rollers can be fitted with standard top and bottom components that are twice as long as the original links used to form closed grooves that do not require special components. In another form, each chain belt may be provided with at least one roller, installed in the middle of the chain belt, wherein the cross member is arranged before or after the roller (according to the longitudinal direction of the energy guide chain), before And after that. If the chain is long due to the installation of rollers, it is better to have a number of transverse pieces. ’In order to improve the running characteristics of the energy-guided chain, the running surface may have a push-up slope rising toward the roller. In this way, the height of the rollers that protrude beyond the narrow belt of the chain can be reduced to any specified configuration of the rotation axis, which has an excellent effect on the quiet operation of the energy guide chain. In order to install the roller in the recess of the chain narrow belt, a flange can be provided, which has a bearing section of the roller. The flange is in a section with a flange to the chain narrow belt attachment mechanism. The radial dimension is larger than the rotation axis of the roller. . In this case, the roller can be mounted on one or both sides of the flange. The axis of rotation can also be installed on one side of the flange and opposite to the key strip. · If the chain belt is provided with a recess for accommodating the roller, a mechanism can be provided to bridge the recess in the direction of the opposite strand. This can be achieved, for example, using a corresponding cap. Such as' This can prevent one roller from running into the recess of the chain link of the opposite strand, if no roller is installed in these recesses. _ Especially standard chain links can also have rollers between the links. In this way, the energy guide chain basically includes known links, and rollers are provided between the links, for example

Page 8 579409 Amended case number 901100 (^ Description of the invention (5) is installed at a distance of several chain links. The chain strap can also be changed or otherwise designed to have a recess to accommodate the roller on the narrow side running parallel to the longitudinal direction of the chain There is no recess on the opposite narrow side of the key strip. The design method of the chain narrow strip is to arbitrarily install one side of the narrow side = standing strand. Therefore, the same chain narrow band can be used with or without the roller set δ. To this end The chain strap only needs to turn 180 around its longitudinal axis, or about an axis extending through the chain strap perpendicular to its longitudinal ^ center ^ plane. Chains with rollers are longer than the conventional chain links, that is, the spacing is larger. This kind of size is necessary because the uneven movement of the chain will occur through deflection, especially when the length of the chain is very large. The side links will be connected in turns. The shape of the side hair rollers is provided on the chain to protrude outward. In this way, the wider section of the chain narrow belt of the helmet roll if !! surface can be used as the running surface. In this kind of chain, the chain links with rollers can be maintained. At least all of the keys are made π,-strand (inside , Outer narrow band) Along the energy guide, the key is provided with a wide section to form a running surface and a surface. The length is 'formed-basically closed'. The roller, C: up, does not always have to be-if only the fourth and fifth rollers can have an equal distance between Li, however, the rollers can also be provided with opposite rollers by pressing the keys. Long. Therefore, the rollers can be spaced apart in energy. Guide bow 丨 Large frequency period distribution 'makes the roller 579409 Case No. 90110063 V. Description of the invention (6) Θ Correction can be delivered to three links, for example, but the points on the chain are also different. There are a few of the regular motion orders. When the rollers cause a slight abnormal speed, the energy guide bow can be improved. The energy guide is based on the narrow line of the chain. In this way, or on both sides of the energy guide. In order to further improve and reduce The noise emitted by the present invention is preferably formed by the guide groove, and the depth of the roller is at least equal to the roller protrusion. It is necessary to avoid the side and phase of the lead chain along the key chain. These chains can start randomly from one link and then three, and the roller can be installed longitudinally after the chain link. In this case, the roller = two chain narrow bands may not be necessary. All rollers are required, and the disclosure on T does not need to be symmetrical. The advantage is that the energy guide chain rollers are in contact with each other at the same time, but only change. In this way, the rollers meet on the energy guide chain, so in the fast chain Full-length jitter. Therefore, the symmetrical distribution can be carried on the belt, not the entire time. The energy can be regularly distributed. The side of the operating bar that guides quiet operation or the double rollers can be seen at the end. The chain narrow belt can be equipped with rollers. The longitudinal axis of the belt needs to be installed in the upper strand or lower strand area. When it is moved on both sides, it is installed in the narrow energy guide of the chain. It also provides the roller running surface to exceed the travel characteristics of the phase chain. The friction between the two sides has a guide extrusion, and the right side of the full circle off the chain is located on each other. The narrow belts transport the rough 孱 ^ The distance of the bang surface repeatedly overlaps each other. The two links of the running roller, the shape of the 4 groove of the I groove is about-the width of the guide groove _, the phase of the roller i is due to the extrusion of the roller. Page 10 579409 ------- 9 (ninnfi3_Main month J-H ___ V. Description of the Invention (7) The match will be completed. The elasticity of the energy-guiding chain easily allows the upper and lower strands to move relatively slightly from each other. This deviation is approximately equivalent to the width of a guide groove. This can help prevent the two overlapping strands from closing when the two rollers meet. As a matter of fact, the rollers no longer need to climb up and down each other, which can save a considerable amount of pulling force to be applied to the stock. The approaching rollers can simply pass through each other in this way, and the guide groove can be expediently provided with a slightly trapezoidal profile extrusion to ensure that the rollers are exactly aligned with each other.

In particular, rollers can be provided on the energy guiding chain, with more than two parallel strands of the chain narrow band, wherein the rollers must be arranged on at least two strands. For example, the rollers can be located on the outer strands only, or they can be replaced or provided on the inner strands of one or more of the chain narrow bands. When at least one area of the chain is adjacent to the motion driver of the energy guide chain, it is particularly advantageous that the link segments are connected, and the key link closest to the driver is connected to the driver in a tension-resistant manner, and at least one element is basically not located The key strip extends longitudinally and can be flexed in the direction of the chain bending. Such yuan = in German patent application DE 198 07 07 83, the disclosure of which is here = included in Shen Mei. # Since the non-extendable element is configured in the energy guide chain, plus = set, the chain can move with the least power: the guide chain is controlled, so the open energy guide configuration is connected with one or more non-extendable elements Chain link

Fifth, Zhu Shizhang 丨 口 八 \ OJ 不 Κΐ 若 :: ϊ. The segments can be of equal or unequal length. It's best to turn it. In fact, the stress on the makeup of the chain is to move towards the ratchet. Non-extensible elements (if there are many, the wires in the guide are not _. It is not preferable to be arranged separately from the wires. Inside the wires, consisting of, for example, steel cables. Any other kind of element. The element 'is at least one of them. A) It can be an element that is arranged in an extensible element or at least one of them, separated by a wire, and can be set in a chain. However, it is also conceivable to display these characteristics

The adjacent ball joints at the ends of each ball furnace are best connected, and the driver is closest to you: another key link is connected to the driver in a tension-resistant manner. It is used in the chain, longitudinally, and can be extended in the chain bending direction. Deflection of at least one element. The non-extendable element is preferably mounted in a tension-resistant manner on a strip that is separately provided from the cross member, and the strip is connected to the opposite narrow strip of the chain link. The wires guided through the chain should be fixed to these long strips with clamps, or they can be retaining elements for steel reed end equipment, or other appropriate elements. ^ F can also have a pin at the horizontal end of the chain to perform the pin-saving function of the relevant chain. This means that the pins on the narrow strips reach the frontal connection of the two aligned openings within the overlapped area of the directly adjacent links, thus forming the swing axis of these links. This shape allows the wires and separate inextensible elements mounted on the strip to be pivoted around the axis of swing.

The M strip has a protrusion at the horizontal end of the chain and is combined with a groove corresponding to the shape of the inner side of the key joint between the joint segments. The grooves in all the links of the chain series can also be used to install other components between the chains. The energy guide bow of the present invention can include inner and outer narrow bands and angular chains.

The axis of rotation of the roller is 17 ^ ^ 'and the chain narrow belt is fixed in the recess to the opposite of the protruding area of the roller 15 on the surface 19a located on the opposite strand, so that the upper strand can move above the lower strand. In the example, the narrow side of the chain strip 19 (see the running surface of the rollers of the standing strand basically extends between the swing axis of the joint section (Figures 6 to 8). If so, the running surface section can be secured. 26 will not form any recesses at the adjacent heights of phase two, resulting in a chain running surface with little or no difference in height

Description of the invention (ll) The longitudinal extension of the running surface, ′ is basically the narrowness of the narrow surface 20 compared with the area 15 of the wheel 15 and the push up of the inclined surface. It is half the height in the picture. Therefore, the angle between pairs is relatively small. Because the chain widens the rollers, there is less transportation. Therefore, it is placed in the widened inner and outer narrow belts as in the first and second steps. And away (figure 5)) 'the key on this side. According to No. 3 90110063, the surface 19 has a push-up inclined surface 20, and before and after the energy guide chain 2 2 the roller 15 rises toward the roller 15 to start the height of the swing axis I. In this case, for example, the push-up slope i can climb about 3 mm in a total length of 80 mm. Roll up and push the bevel 20 above the top peak for about another 2 dragons. ▼ The narrow side without a roller, in any of the embodiments shown in the figure, the diameter of the roller 15 is basically equivalent to the J-chain chain: push-up angle (roller pushes along the peripheral surface and pushes up the slope. Second, also The diameter can be widened with respect to the middle section 11 and 12 of the height 2 of the chain band, and the surface 19a can also be turned at this position, so that the narrow side surface pressure of the chain band can reduce the material stress in one step.

As shown in Figure 10, the chain starts from The driver 33 extends over the upper strand and the bending area to a section of the lower strand of the chain, and is provided with a flexible element 34 (34a, 34b, 34c, 34d, 34e, 34f, 34g) which cannot be extended in the direction of the chain. These elements connect the links 3 4 &, 351), 3 5 (:, 35 (1, 356, 35, 35 £ 35), are installed in the relevant area of the chain, are separated from each other in sections and separated from the drive 33 by several links The link 35a closest to the driver 33 is connected to the driver 33 via the non-extendable element 34a.

Fig. 11 shows a second embodiment of the energy guiding chain of the present invention. Here, the rollers 15 are mounted on the outside of the chain strips 1, 2. The rollers 15 are not covered. A wide section 39 having an L-shaped cross section on the side of the outer and inner tapes 1 and 2 is provided as a running surface, and a window-shaped recess is provided on the chain link 38 having the roller 15, and the roller η can pass. The rollers 15 are arranged on the side of the chain narrow belts 1 and 2 beyond the cross section of the chain. The advantage is that the distance between the links 38 with rollers can be made smaller, that is, the distance between the links 37 and 37 without rollers is the same. As the cutaway view in Figure 12 shows, the roller 15 is matched with the ball bearing 25 (only sketched in the figure), and fixed by the retaining ring 42 which is integrally formed on the bearing pin 41 outside the relevant chain strip 1 .

Figures 15 to 18 show the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the rollers 5 are provided with trapezoidal cross-section extrusions with spaced apart guides. The ridge 43 meets in the front because The lateral deviation of the relative position of the guide and the lower strand 29 is roughly equal to the width of a guide groove 40, so the depth of the 'guide groove 40' must of course be the distance of the running surface formed by section 39. The elasticity of the energy guide chain is easy to separate There is such a deviation position, which can be particularly clear from Figure 17 above, when the upper chain links' when the two meet. It is also possible that the key strip and the roller are made of plastic. For example, the chain is narrow. Symbol 1 The position of the outer narrow band pair. Figure 14 shows that the roller 15 with the roller upper 28 and lower 29 has to rise relative to the lower 29, because "over push the inclined plane 20 and the lower 29 in a wider section. 39 above the running surface will jump over each other in a jittering manner, uneven running. The third best extrusion of the Ming energy guide chain is a trapezoidal cross section of the grooves between the guide grooves 40 of the two contact rollers, which results in the upper strand 28 ′ as shown in FIG. 15. This deviation The rollers of the upper strand 28 passing through the lower strand 29 must be greater than or equal to the width of the roller 15 to make the upper strand 28 and the lower strand 29 at a relatively long distance to ensure extremely low friction values.
