EXTENSION PIPE AND TRANSPORT ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18340888 titled 'EXTENSION PIPE AND TRANSPORT ROBOT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an extension pipe design that includes two belts with engagement pins and holes, as well as a guide part with a spiral groove. The length difference between the trajectories of the engagement pins is less than half the circumference of the spiral groove.

  • The extension pipe design includes a first belt with engagement pins and a second belt with engagement holes.
  • A guide part with a spiral groove is used to guide the movement of the belts.
  • The length difference between the trajectories of the engagement pins is less than half the circumference of the spiral groove.

Potential Applications

  • This extension pipe design can be used in various industries that require the extension or connection of pipes, such as plumbing, construction, and manufacturing.
  • It can be applied in systems that require flexible and adjustable pipe lengths, allowing for easy installation and modification.

Problems Solved

  • The extension pipe design solves the problem of securely connecting and extending pipes without the need for complex and time-consuming methods.
  • It eliminates the need for additional tools or equipment to connect and adjust pipe lengths, reducing the overall installation and maintenance time.

Benefits

  • The design simplifies the process of extending or connecting pipes, making it more efficient and cost-effective.
  • It provides a secure and reliable connection between pipes, ensuring proper flow and preventing leaks or disruptions.
  • The adjustable nature of the extension pipe design allows for flexibility in various applications, accommodating different pipe lengths and configurations.


Original Abstract Submitted

An extension pipe includes a first belt including a plurality of first engagement pins formed on an upper side along the upper side and a plurality of second engagement pins formed on a lower side along the lower side, a second belt including a plurality of first engagement holes formed on the upper side along the upper side and a plurality of second engagement holes formed on the lower side along the lower side, and a first guide part including a spiral groove configured to spirally guide the first belt and the second belt. A difference between a length of a first trajectory in which each of the first engagement pins moves along the spiral groove and a length of a second trajectory in which each of the second engagement pins moves along the spiral groove is less than half a circumference of the spiral groove.
