Abstract

A robot includes a robot arm, a base supporting the robot arm, and a cable coupled to the base, wherein the base has a housing a circuit board, a connector unit located on a side surface of the housing and electrically coupled to the circuit board, to which the cable is coupled, a cover member having an insertion portion through which the cable is inserted and attached to the side surface of the housing to cover the connector unit, and a wall portion located between a coupling portion by which the cover member is coupled to the side surface of the housing and the connector and provided to project from the side surface of the housing within a space surrounded by the side surface of the housing and the cover member.

Claims (20)

1. A robot comprising:

a robot arm;

a base supporting the robot arm; and

a cable coupled to the base, wherein

the base has

a housing a circuit board,

a connector unit located on a side surface of the housing and electrically coupled to the circuit board, to which the cable is coupled,

a cover member having an insertion portion through which the cable is inserted and attached to the side surface of the housing to cover the connector unit, and

a wall portion located between a coupling portion by which the cover member is coupled to the side surface of the housing and the connector unit and provided to project from the side surface of the housing within a space surrounded by the side surface of the housing and the cover member.

2. The robot according to claim 1 , wherein

the wall portion surrounds the connector unit.

3. The robot according to claim 1 , wherein

the wall portion is inclined away from the connector unit while extending away from the side surface of the housing.

4. The robot according to claim 1 , wherein

the wall portion has a projecting portion provided on an end at a distal side with respect to the side surface of the housing and projecting in a direction away from the connector unit.

5. The robot according to claim 1 , further comprising an exhaust path for exhausting a liquid flowing in from the coupling portion around the connector unit within the space.

6. The robot according to claim 5 , wherein

the insertion portion is located between a placement surface on which the base is placed and the connector unit.

7. The robot according to claim 1 , wherein

a sealing member is provided in the coupling portion.
