SEALING ASSEMBLY AND ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17759278 titled 'SEALING ASSEMBLY AND ROBOT
Simplified Explanation
The sealing assembly described in the abstract is designed to cover and seal the connection between two components of a robot, allowing for coaxial rotation while maintaining a tight seal.
- The housing covers and seals an end of the first component of the robot.
- The flange covers and seals an end of the second component of the robot, which is coaxially rotatable relative to the first component.
- The elastic sealing ring includes a coupling portion that connects to the housing and a sealing portion that creates an interference fit between the housing and the flange.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various robotic applications where a rotating joint requires a tight seal to prevent contamination or leakage.
Problems Solved
This sealing assembly solves the problem of maintaining a seal between two rotating components of a robot while allowing for smooth rotation without compromising the integrity of the seal.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved reliability and longevity of robotic systems by preventing contamination and leakage at the joint between two components.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications for this technology include industrial robots, medical robots, and other automated systems where rotating joints require a reliable and long-lasting seal.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional sealing methods such as gaskets or O-rings used in similar applications.
Unanswered Questions
How does this sealing assembly compare to traditional gasket or O-ring seals in terms of longevity and reliability?
The sealing assembly described in the abstract is designed to provide a tight seal between two rotating components of a robot, but it would be interesting to compare its performance and durability to more traditional sealing methods like gaskets or O-rings.
What materials are used in the construction of the elastic sealing ring, and how do they contribute to the overall performance of the sealing assembly?
Understanding the materials used in the elastic sealing ring could provide insights into the durability and effectiveness of the seal in different operating conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sealing assembly which has a housing adapted to be arranged on and cover an end of a first component of a robot. The sealing assembly includes a circumferential coupling section; a flange adapted to be arranged on and cover an end of a second component of the robot that is coaxially rotatable relative to the first component; and an elastic sealing ring. The elastic sealing ring includes a coupling portion coupled to the circumferential coupling section; and a sealing portion arranged between the housing and the flange with an interference fit.
