Abstract
A robot controller includes a case having an intake port and a flow channel connecting to the intake port, in which a gas supplied from the intake port flows, a control board for controlling a motion of a robot, a drive circuit board placed within the flow channel and controlling driving of a motor included in the robot, a power supply circuit board placed upstream of the drive circuit board within the flow channel and supplying electric power to the control board, and a fan placed between the drive circuit board and the power supply circuit board within the flow channel.
Claims11
A robot controller comprising:
- a control board configured to control a motion of a robot;
- a case having an intake port and a flow channel connecting to the intake port;
- a fan provided inside of the case at an intermediate position of the flow channel, the fan being configured to produce an air flow such that air sucked from the intake port flows along the flow channel and passes the fan;
- a drive circuit board placed along the flow channel and configured to drive a motor of the robot;
- and
- a power supply circuit board placed at an upstream side of the drive circuit board along the flow channel and configured to supply electric power to the control board,
- wherein the fan is sandwiched between the power supply circuit board and the drive circuit board along the flow channel.
A robot system comprising:
- a robot having a motor;
- and
- a robot controller coupled to the robot, wherein
- the robot controller includes:
- a control board configured to control a motion of the robot;
- a case having an intake port and a flow channel connecting to the intake port;
- a fan provided inside of the case at an intermediate position of the flow channel, the fan being configured to produce an air flow such that air sucked from the intake port flows along the flow channel and passes the fan;
- a drive circuit board placed along the flow channel and configured to drive the motor;
- and
- a power supply circuit board placed at an upstream side of the drive circuit board along the flow channel and configured to supply electric power to the control board,
- wherein the fan is sandwiched between the power supply circuit board and the drive circuit board along the flow channel.
