Abstract
A robot includes a base installed on an installation surface, a movable part rotatable around a vertical axis relative to the base, and a support mechanism that supports the movable part so as to be rotatable around the axis relative to the base, where the movable part has an inner surface extending circumferentially at the periphery of the support mechanism and facing the base, and an opening connecting an inner space across which the inner surface and the base face each other with an outer space at a specific position in the circumferential direction, and the inner surface slopes in the direction away from the base towards the opening.
Claims5
A robot comprising:
- a base installed on an installation surface;
- a movable part rotatable around a vertical axis relative to the base;
- and
- a support mechanism that supports the movable part in such a manner as to be rotatable around the axis relative to the base,
- wherein the movable part comprises an inner surface extending in a circumferential direction around the support mechanism and facing the base and an opening that allows an inner space and an outer space to communicate with each other at a specific position in the circumferential direction, the inner space being where the inner surface and the base face each other,
- wherein the inner surface is sloped toward the opening in a direction extending away from the base,
- wherein the base has an annular surface that extends in the circumferential direction around the support mechanism and that faces the movable part, and
- wherein the annular surface is sloped radially outward in a direction extending away from the movable part.
