Abstract
A robot 1A comprises a robot stationary base 1, a first speed reducer mechanism attachment base 11 to which a first axis speed reducer mechanism 12 and a second axis speed reducer mechanism 21 are attached, a first arm AM1, a second speed reducer mechanism attachment base 35 to which a third axis speed reducer mechanism 31 and a fourth axis speed reducer mechanism 41 are attached, and a second arm AM2. An electric cable (CB) or a pipeline passes from the robot stationary base 1 through a hollow part in the first axis speed reducer mechanism 12, and from there passes around the outside of the second axis speed reducer mechanism 21, extending along the first arm AM1.
Claims8
A robot, comprising:
- a robot stationary base;
- at least one of a cable and a pipeline extending from said robot stationary base;
- a first speed reducer mechanism attachment base attached to said robot stationary base;
- a first axis speed reducer mechanism mounted on the first speed reducer mechanism attachment base, said first axis speed reducer mechanism including a hollow part formed in a center thereof to pass said at least one of the cable and the pipeline from the stationary base;
- and
- a second axis speed reducer mechanism mounted on the first speed reducer mechanism attachment base, and linked to one end of a first arm, wherein said second axis speed reducer mechanism does not include a hollow portion to pass said at least one of the cable and the pipeline,
- wherein said at least one of the cable and the pipeline pass through and extend from said hollow part of said first axis speed reducer mechanism, wind around the outside of said second axis speed reducer mechanism without passing through a portion thereof and, after arriving in the vicinity of said one end of said first arm, follow said first arm and extend in a direction of an other end of said first arm.
