Abstract
The present disclosure is to provide a robochain which is capable of improving assembling performance by connecting plates without using an additional connection member, and preventing noise by minimizing contacts between plates. In the robochain according to the present disclosure, a plate and a corresponding plate are connected to be rotatable while partially overlapping each other in a circular overlapping region, are rotated while a rotating protrusion formed on the plate moves along a rotating groove formed in the corresponding plate, and are fastened with each other when a connecting pin of the plate is fitted into a connecting pin coupling groove of the corresponding plate.
Claims9
A robochain comprising chain links connected continuously to each other in the length direction of a chain, each of the chain links being comprised of a pair of plates facing each other with a certain gap therebetween and a link connecting an upper portion or a lower portion of these plates, characterized in that:
- a corresponding plate connected to one plate is formed to have the same shape and is connected to the plate while partially overlapping with the plate in a circular overlapping region having a concave step,
- in the plate, a hollow cylindrical-shaped connecting pin is formed protrudely on a central portion of the overlapping region and three rotating protrusions are formed protrudely on an edge thereof at regular intervals,
- in the corresponding plate, an inner ring and an outer ring having a connecting pin-coupling recess are formed protrudely thereon, three stoppers are formed between the inner ring and the outer ring at regular intervals to provide three rotating grooves, each of which being formed between the stoppers, respectively,
- the plate and the corresponding plate are rotated while the rotating protrusions are moved along the rotating grooves, respectively, and the connecting pin is fitted into the connecting pin-coupling recess to allow the plate and the corresponding plate to be coupled.
