Abstract: An internal pressure explosion-proof system is provided that is capable of detecting high-pressure abnormality of an internal pressure explosion-proof mechanism, urging a check of gas/air apparatus by providing a means for notifying a user of abnormality, and decreasing excessive pressure of an internal pressure chamber. A high-pressure abnormality detector and a pressure regulating valve are provided in an air discharging portion for releasing the gas/air discharged from the internal pressure explosion-proof mechanism. The working pressure of the high-pressure abnormality detector is set to be lower than the working pressure of the pressure regulating valve. The high-pressure abnormality detector sends a signal when the pressure becomes higher than the set pressure to make the alarm give a warning and makes the open valves open to decrease the pressure of the internal pressure chamber of the internal pressure explosion-proof mechanism which became excessive.

Abstract: A swinging base 12 is provided on top of a stationary base 11 such as to be capable of rotating by means of a bearing 13. A reduction gear 15 is provided in a depression portion 14 formed on the top surface of the stationary base 11. A motor 16 having a rotational shaft 17 connected to the reduction gear is provided on the swinging base. A cable support portion 21 which is rotatably supported by means of a bearing 18 provided on an axis A is provided inside the stationary base 11. The cable support portion 21 supports cables C. A through hole 23 is formed in the bottom of the swinging base 12. An arcuate aperture portion 24 is formed in the stationary base 11. The cables C are passed through the aperture portion 24 and the through hole 23. With this invention, cables which are installed in industrial robots can be supported without receiving excessive forces.

Abstract: An articulating mechanism for use in a single- or multiple-fluid-path painting robot is presented. The articulation design is particularly suitable as a wrist-joint and is free from the problems of dead space and single-fluid-path limitations found in conventional wrist-joint designs. The mechanism is based on coupling two cylindrical casings coaxially so that arm casing, wrist casing and the flange ends are coaxially joint about a shaft axis. The end sections of each components are sealed while leaving a fluid space of a given spacing between the outer and inner casings. The casings provide a fluid passage space extending in the direction of the casings and is provided with fluid delivery holes for the delivery of paint and other fluid medium. The designs include a blocking member so that cleaning of the robotic device, and quick maintenance or color changes can be carried out during production operation.
