Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a cable or the like protection and guide device (hereinafter referred to as only “cable protection and guide device), which safely and reliably protects and guides a flexible cable(s) or the like such as an electric cable (which connects a movable portion and a stationary portion to each other in an industrial machine, a vehicle and the like to transmit electric signals or supply power) and a hose, which supplies oil or air under pressure and the like.
- This type of the cable protection and guide device has a configuration that a number of link frame bodies each comprising a pair of right and left spaced link plates and upper and lower connecting rods respectively bridged on a flexion outer circumferential side and a flexion inner circumferential side of the link plate are connected to each other in the longitudinal direction of the device while restricting a flexion radius to a fixed value or more. Here, “the flexion outer circumferential side” and “the flexion inner circumferential side” respectively mean “a side positioned outside” and “a side positioned inside” when a link plate is flexed to form an arc. The flexion of the link plate is restricted so that it is permitted within a predetermined angle, See for example Japanese Patent Publication No. 3356733.
- In a cable protection and guide device which the present applicant previously proposed and for which patent was filed, as disclosed in
FIG. 6 as related art, a pair of right and left spacedlink plates 310 and a lower connectingrod 320 b are integrally molded of a resin material into alink frame body 300 by injection molding. And an upper connectingrod 320 a has ahinge mechanism 334 at an end and ahook mechanism 332 and a locking pin 313 at the other end and is openably and pivotably provided on an upper edge end of thelink plate 310.FIG. 7 shows three connectedlink frame bodies 300 shown inFIG. 6 . See the specification of Japanese patent application No. 2005-285263. - However, in the above-mentioned cable protection and guide device that the present inventor previously filed, as shown in
FIG. 6 , the pair oflink plates 310 and the lower connectingrod 320 b are integrally molded by injection molding using a metal mold, when the height H of thelink plate 310 is increased, new problems arise in that the upper portion of thelink plate 310 is warped or bent outside as shown inFIG. 5( a) so that the upper connectingrod 320 a cannot be closed. Also, when the upper portion of thelink plate 310 is warped or bent inside as shown inFIG. 5( b) the upper connectingrod 320 a cannot be closed. - Further, to protect and guide a number of cables when a conventional cable protection and
guide device 300 is used, the height H of thelink plate 310 is increased so that the warpage of the upper portion of thelink plate 310 inside or outside the device is liable to occur. Therefore, in a case where the number of cables to be protected and guided must be increased, it is necessary to increase the height of thelink plate 310. In this case to increase the rigidity of thelink plate 310 it is necessary to increase the thickness of thelink plate 310. Thus a problem has been pointed out that thelink plate 310 is increased in size and the manufacturing costs are increased. -
FIG. 7 is a perspective view shows a conventional guide having threelink frame bodies 300 connected to each other. As can be seen fromFIG. 7 , for example a thick cable C1, which supplies electric power and thin cables C2 and C3, through which signals or the like are sent, cannot be protected and guided in a sorted manner. As a result, signal lines C2 and C3, which pass delicate signals of small amplitudes and the like, catch electromagnetic noises generated from a power cable C1 so that the signals carried in signal lines C2 and C3 are corrupted and a malfunction is generated in a machine which uses the signals for control purposes. Further, in a case where only one cable is replaced the cable must be pulled out from a number of cables and the maintenance is increased. - Furthermore, when a number of cables are accommodated in a conventional cable protection and guide device, the cables must be accommodated into link frame bodies in a laminated manner to avoid interference/corruption of the signals. Thus such a problem has been pointed out that in a case where signal lines and power supply lines should be accommodated so as not to overlap, a partitioning plate (not shown) must be attached between the upper connecting
rod 320 a and the lower connectingrod 320 b and the number of parts is increased. - Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a cable protection and guide device, which can reliably protect and guide cables without increasing and decreasing width between link plates even if the height of the link plates of the cable protection and guide device is increased.
- The invention attains the above-mentioned object by a cable protection and guide device in which a number of link frame bodies each comprising a pair of right and left spaced link plates and upper and lower connecting rods are respectively bridged on an upper edge and a lower edge of the link plate. The rods are connected to each other in the longitudinal direction of the device while restricting a flexion radius to a fixed value. A central connecting rod, which connects the pair of link plates at substantially the center portion along the height direction of the link plate, is integrally molded with the pair of link plates.
- The invention attains the above-mentioned object in that the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod each include a hinge mechanism at one end and a hook mechanism at the other end.
- The invention attains the above-mentioned object in that the central connecting rod is molded in a wave shape in its cross-section.
- According to the invention a cable protection and guide device in which a number of link frame bodies each comprising a pair of right and left spaced link plates and upper and lower connecting rods respectively bridged on upper and lower edges of the link plate are connected to each other in the longitudinal direction of the device while restricting a flexion radius to a fixed value. A central connecting rod connects the pair of link plates at substantially the center portion along the height direction of the link plate. The central connecting rod is integrally molded with the pair of link plates, the respective distances from the central connecting rod to the upper edge and lower edge of the link plate can be substantially conforms to the height of the link plate of a conventional cable protection and guide device. As a result the cable accommodation capacity can be substantially doubled.
- According to the invention, since, in addition to the effects obtained by the invention and set forth above, the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod each includes a hinge mechanism at one end and a hook mechanism at the other end.

-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one oflink frame bodies 100 forming the present invention. Thislink frame body 100 includes a pair of right and left spacedlink plates rod 120 a bridged on these link plates 110 (110 a, 110 b) and a lower connectingrod 120 b bridged on these link plates 110 (110 a, 110 b). And acentral connecting rod 130, which connects said pair oflink plates link plates rod 120 a and the lower connectingrod 120 b each have ahinge mechanism 134 at one end and ahook mechanism 132 at the other end. It is noted that inFIG. 1 , members denoted byreference numerals 113 arelocking pins 113, which cooperate with thehook mechanism 132 to lock an opening end portion side of the upper connectingrod 120 a and thelower connecting rod 120 b.Locking pins 113 also pivotably lock a pivot portion side of the upper connectingrod 120 a and the lower connectingrod 120 b. Further, inFIG. 1 , members denoted byreference numerals 140 are locking members which cooperate with thehook mechanisms 132 to reliably lock the upper connectingrod 120 a and the lower connectingrod 120 b to thelink frame bodies - Further, when a thin-
walled portion 112 and aconvex portion 114 of alink frame body 100 are connected to anotherlink frame body 100, the thin-walled portion 112 of thelink plate 110 engages with aconvex portion 114 of anotherlink frame body 100 and theconvex portion 114 engages with the thin-walledportion 112 of anotherlink frame body 100, so that a flexion radius in the longitudinal direction is restricted to a fixed value.FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state where three series oflink frame bodies 100 are connected to each other. As apparent fromFIG. 2 , for example a cable C1 having a large diameter, which supplies electric power, and cables C2 and C3 each having a comparatively small diameter, which pass signals and the like from a sensor, are sorted so that the cables can be protected and guided. In this case the signal lines C1 and C3, which pass delicate signals having small amplitudes, can be suppressed or shielded from catching electromagnetic noises generated from the power cable C1. - The material forming the
link frame body 100 comprising the link plates 110 (110 a, 110 b), the upper connectingrod 120 a, the lower connectingrod 120 b and the central connectingrod 130 is not limited particularly. However, thelink frame body 100 is preferably molded by use of a fiber-reinforced resin, which can exhibit excellent strength properties. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III inFIG. 1 . The provision of the central connectingrod 130 which permits an increase in height H of the link plate and cable accommodation space sorted into upper and lower sections is illustrated. As apparent fromFIG. 3 , since the locking pins 113 are symmetrically formed on the upper end portion and the lower end portion, the upper connectingrod 120 a and the lower connectingrod 120 b can be adapted to be opened and closed in a right or left direction. - Next, another example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
FIG. 4 . -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of another example (example 2) of the present invention showing the same position as the cross-section III-III inFIG. 1 . According to example 2 the central connectingrod 230 is formed in a wave shape in its cross-section. Since other points of example 2 are substantially the same construction as in the above-mentioned example 1, the details of example 2 are omitted and the same portions in example 2 as in example 1 are denoted by 200 plus the same two-digit in example 1. - In this manner, the cables do not tangle with each other and adjacent cables are slidable on each other to reduce wear of the cables. Further, an electric power cable, which supplies electricity, a hose which supplies air or liquid, and signal lines for transmitting outputs from a sensor or the like can be sorted into space partitioned into two sections. Thus the effects are very large.
- According to the cable protection and guide device of the present invention, since the connecting rod integrally connected to the link plates is molded at a central portion along a height direction of the link plate, the link frame body is partitioned and a plurality of cables can be sorted. At the same time since the height of the link frame body can be increased, a number of cables can be accommodated into the link frame bodies. Therefore, the industrial applicability of the present invention is very high.
