Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A multi jointed robot arm which enables the use of a small space, in which a first arm member is supported to be capable of rotation in relation to a pair of support members, which are provided to stand on a base member at a predetermined width interval, by a first joint, further, a second arm member is supported to be capable of rotation in relation to the first arm member by a second joint, in which the second arm member holds a robot hand which grips a work on an opposite side from the second joint, the first arm member includes a pair of side portions which join the first joint and the second joint, and a storage space into which the second arm member enters between the pair of side portions is provided

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A multi jointed robot arm comprising: a pair of support members which are provided to stand on a base member at a predetermined width interval; a first arm member which is rotationally supported in relation to the pair of support members by a first joint; and a second arm member which is rotationally supported in relation to the first arm member by a second joint, wherein the second arm member holds a robot hand which grips a work on an opposite side from the second joint, the first arm member includes a pair of side portions which include the first joint and the second joint on both end portions, and there is a storage space into which the second arm member enters between the pair of side portions. 2 . The multi jointed robot arm according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of support members are two parallel supporting plates, in the first arm member, a pair of parallel side surface plates which correspond to the side portions are joined by a horizontal bridging material which bridges in a width direction, and the storage space in which three directions are surrounded by the pair of side surface plates and the horizontal bridging material is formed. 3 . The multi jointed robot arm according to claim 2 , wherein in the first arm member, weight reduction holes are formed in the pair of side surface plates, and the horizontal bridging material is a plate material which is bonded to a portion of the side surface plates in a longitudinal direction. 4 . The multi-jointed robot arm according to claim 1 , wherein the second arm member is a member in which a parallel pair of side surface plates are joined by a horizontal bridging material in the width direction.
