Distribution equipment for robot
A robot provided with a robot mechanism including a first member and a second member, the first member and the second member being movable relative to each other; and a laying structure for laying an umbilical member in the robot mechanism. The robot includes the umbilical member laid to extend between the first member and the second member; a movable clamp member movably provided in the first member to clamp the umbilical member; and a connecting member for connecting the movable clamp member to the second member in a correlatively movable manner. The connecting member transmits a force generating due to a movement of the second member relative to the first member to the movable clamp member, so as to move the clamp member in the first member.
1. A robot comprising:
a robot mechanism including a first member and a second member, said first member and said second member being movable relative to each other;
an umbilical member laid in said robot mechanism and extending between said first member and said second member;
a clamp member movably provided in said first member to clamp said umbilical member; and
a connecting member for connecting said clamp member to said second member in a correlatively movable manner, said connecting member transmitting a force generating due to a movement of said second member relative to said first member, to move said clamp member in said first member.
2. A robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connecting member has flexibility.
3. A robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said movement of said second member for generating said force is a rotating movement relative to said first member.
4. A robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said clamp member is provided in said first member in a linearly movable manner.
5. A robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said clamp member is provided in said first member in a rotatable manner.
6. A robot as set forth in claim 5 , further comprising a support member rotatably supporting said clamp member, said support member being pivotably attached to said first member.
