Description
NOISE AND DUST REDUCING CABLEVEYOR
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a cable vey or constructed to move smoothly according to the movement of a machine tool while protecting cables connected to the machine tool, and, more particularly, to a cableveyor with reduced noise and dust, wherein, links, which are unit modules constituting the cableveyor, have a predetermined curvature, and therefore, the occurrence of the friction between the unit modules is prevented, when the links repeatedly recur in the form of 'c', whereby the generation of dust or noise due to the friction is prevented, and therefore, the environment of a workshop is improved while the malfunction of machinery is prevented. Background Art
[2] Generally, a cableveyor is installed at semiconductor equipment, clean room equipment, machine tool robots, long- or short-distance industrial machinery, or the like. The cableveyor serves to transfer cables or hoses, connected to movable machine parts, while the cableveyor protects the cables or the hoses from contamination, prevents the cables or the hoses from being easily damaged, and protects the cables or the hoses from corrosion and chemical products.
[3] In a large-scale machine tool, food machine, and factory automation system, a plurality of cables or hydraulic and pneumatic hoses are complicatedly connected to each other. For this reason, the cables may be twisted or damaged due to external effects, during the use of the system, with the result that the machine may malfunction or an accident may caused by a leakage of electricity.
[4] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the cables or the hydraulic and pneumatic hoses are inserted into the cableveyor and arranged in the cableveyor. The cableveyor may cover the total length of the cables or the hydraulic and pneumatic hoses or may partially cover the weak parts of the cables or the hydraulic and pneumatic hoses. To this end, a conventional cableveyor is constructed in a structure in which a plurality of link plates are connected to each other using connection pins such that the cableveyor has a desired length.
[5] That is, the conventional cableveyor is constructed in a structure in which two structural bodies, each of which has a plurality of link plates connected to each other in the form of a chain by means of connection pins, are disposed such that the two structural bodies are spaced a predetermined distance from each other, and the respective link plates are fixedly connected to each other by means of connection
supporting members such that the two structural bodies can be operated as one united body.
[6] Consequently, the cableveyor has a structure in which the cableveyor moves while the cableveyor naturally recurs in the form of 'c' by the connection pins of the link plates. Also, the cableveyor has a structure in which coupling pins are connected to curved grooves, additionally formed in addition to the connection pins, such that the cableveyor naturally recurs in the form of 'c'.
[7] In the conventional cableveyor, however, friction occurs between the neighboring link plates, when the link plates recur in the form of 'c' by the connection pins.
[8] As a result, a large amount of noise is generated, during the recurring movement of the link plates. Also, the link plates are worn by the friction between the link plates, with the result that a large amount of dust is generated. The generated dust may contaminate the interior environment of the workshop and cause the malfunction of the machinery.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[9] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a cableveyor with reduced noise and dust, having a plurality of unit modules arranged side by side, wherein each unit module includes a connection block, made of a hard synthetic resin, having coupling rods formed at the central upper and lower ends thereof, such that the dividers can be coupled to the corresponding coupling rods, and connection grooves formed at opposite sides thereof, and a recurrence block, made of a soft synthetic resin, having connection protrusions formed at opposite sides thereof, such that the connection protrusions can be engaged in the corresponding connection grooves of the connection block, a recurrence groove formed at the central lower end thereof in the shape of a triangle, and an open groove formed at the central upper end thereof such that the upper portion of the recurrence block is divided into two parts, such that the angular distance between the two parts of the recurrence block is increased by the interior angle of the recurrence groove, the open groove being spaced a predetermined distance from the recurrence groove, thereby preventing the occurrence of the friction between the unit modules, during the repetitive recurring movement of the cableveyor in the form of 'c' according to the movement of cables, and therefore, preventing the generation of dust and noise due to the friction.
[10]
Technical Solution
[11] In accordance with the present invention, the above and other objects can be ac-
complished by the provision of a cableveyor with reduced noise and dust, constructed in a structure in which the cableveyor recurs in the form of 'c' by a plurality of unit modules disposed at opposite sides of dividers such that the unit modules are spaced a predetermined distance from each other by the respective dividers, wherein each unit module includes a connection block, made of a hard synthetic resin, having coupling rods formed at the central upper and lower ends thereof, such that the dividers can be coupled to the corresponding coupling rods, and at least one connection groove formed at each side thereof, and a recurrence block, made of a soft synthetic resin, having at least one connection protrusion formed at each side thereof, such that the connection protrusions can be engaged in the corresponding connection grooves of the connection block, a recurrence groove formed at the central lower end thereof in the shape of a triangle, and an open groove formed at the central upper end thereof such that the upper portion of the recurrence block is divided into two parts, such that the angular distance between the two parts of the recurrence block is increased by the interior angle of the recurrence groove, the open groove being spaced a predetermined distance from the recurrence groove, whereby each unit module naturally recurs by virtue of the recurrence block without the friction with other unit modules. [12]
Advantageous Effects
[13] According to the present invention with the above-stated construction, the occurrence of the friction between the neighboring unit modules 2 is effectively prevented during the recurring movement of the unit modules 2, with the result that the recurring movement of the unit modules is smoothly performed, and the generation of noise or dust is effectively prevented during the recurring movement of the unit modules. Therefore, the present invention has the effect of assisting the machinery to smoothly operate, preventing the malfunction of the machinery, and improving the interior environment of the workshop.

Mode for the Invention
[30] Now, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[31] FIG. 1 is a side view of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a unit module according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line "A-A" of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a unit module according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[32] A cableveyor 100 with reduced noise and dust according to the present invention is constructed in a structure in which the cableveyor recurs in the form of 'c' by a plurality of unit modules 2 disposed at opposite sides of dividers 1 such that the unit modules are spaced a predetermined distance from each other by the respective dividers 1. Each unit module 2 includes a connection block 5, made of a hard synthetic resin, having coupling rods 3 formed at the central upper and lower ends thereof, such that the dividers 1 can be coupled to the corresponding coupling rods 3, and connection grooves 4 formed at opposite sides thereof, and a recurrence block 9, made of a soft synthetic resin, having connection protrusions 6 formed at opposite sides thereof, such that the connection protrusions 6 can be engaged in the corresponding connection grooves 4 of the connection block 5, a recurrence groove 7 formed at the central lower end thereof in the shape of a triangle, and an open groove 8 formed at the central upper end thereof such that the upper portion of recurrence block 9 is divided into two parts, such that the angular distance between the two parts of the recurrence block 9 is increased by the interior angle of the recurrence groove 7, the open groove 8 being spaced a predetermined distance from the recurrence groove 7. Consequently, the unit module 2 naturally recurs in the form of 'c' by virtue of the recurrence block 9 without
the friction with other unit modules 2.
[33] On the other hand, the connection block 5 may be provided at each side thereof with two connection grooves 4, and the recurrence block 9 may be provided at each side thereof with two connection protrusions 6.
[34] Also, a separation preventing groove 10 is formed at each connection groove 4, and a separation preventing protrusion 11, corresponding to the separation preventing groove 10, is formed at each connection protrusion 6, to prevent the separation between the connection block 5 and the recurrence block 9 when in use.
[35] In the drawings, unexplained reference numeral C indicates cables placed in the cable vey or 100.
[36] The cableveyor 100 with reduced noise and dust, constructed as described above, is an apparatus that recurs in the form of 'c' together with the cables C, connected to machinery, according to the movement of the machinery, while the cables C are placed in the cableveyor 100, as shown in FIG. 1, to prevent the cables C from being twisted or damaged.
[37] In particular, the present invention is characterized in that, when the plurality of unit modules, which are arranged side by side, recur according to the movement of the machinery, the occurrence of the friction between the neighboring unit modules is prevented, and therefore, the generation of dust or noise due to the friction is prevented.
[38] This is possible by the structure of the present invention shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each unit module 2 constituting the cableveyor 100 is constructed in a structure in which a recurrence block 9, made of a soft synthetic resin, is coupled to one side of a connection block 5, made of a hard synthetic resin, without the provision of connection pins, and the recurrence block 9 is constructed in a structure in which the angular distance between the divided upper parts of the recurrent block 9 is increased by the open groove 8 up to an angle corresponding to the interior angle of the recurrence groove 7.
[39] Consequently, the unit modules 2 recur through its own structure of the recurrence block, made of the soft synthetic resin, and therefore, the occurrence of the friction between the unit modules 2 is prevented, when the recurring operation of the unit modules 2 is repeated according to the movement of the machinery, according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, unlike the conventional cableveyor constructed such that the unit modules 2 recur through the hingedly coupling structure using the connection pins, and therefore, the severe friction between the unit modules 2 occurs.
[40] Consequently, the present invention completely solves the problem of the conventional cableveyor, in which a large amount of noise and dust are generated due to
the friction, with the result that the interior environment of a workshop is deteriorated.
[41] The recurrence angle of the unit module 2 may be changed variously depending upon the interior angle of the recurrence groove 7 of the recurrence block 9. For example, the recurrence angle of the unit module 2 may be increased to increase the interior angle of the recurrence groove 7, or the recurrence angle of the unit module 2 may be decreased to decrease the interior angle of the recurrence groove 7.
[42] The connection block 5 and the recurrence block 9 are easily assembled to each other by the connection groove 4 and the connection protrusion 6, which are formed at each side of the connection block 5 and the recurrence block 9, and are engaged with each other in a horizontal state. Consequently, it is possible to adjust the number of the unit modules, which are arranged side by side, such that the total length of the cable vey or 100 corresponds to the length of each cable C of the machinery.
[43] Also, the connection groove 4 and the connection protrusion 6 are provided with the separation preventing groove 10 and the separation preventing protrusion 11, respectively, which are engaged with each other. Consequently, the separation between the connection block 5 and the recurrence block 9 is effectively prevented, during the use of the unit modules 2, each of which is constructed by the assembly of the connection block 5 and the recurrence block 9, whereby the safe use of the cableveyor is guaranteed.
[44] As shown in FIG. 6, on the other hand, the connection block 5 may be provided at each side thereof with two connection grooves 4, and the recurrence block 9 may be provided at each side thereof with two connection protrusions 6. This structure is required when a large number of cables C are placed in the unit module 2, and therefore, it is necessary to increase the length of the connection blocks 5 and the recurrence block 9.
