机器人电缆成缆结构对动态弯曲寿命影响

    Influence of Stranding Structure on Dynamic Bending Fatigue Life of Robotic Cables

    • 摘要: 针对高端机器人电缆长期依赖进口且传统结构难以满足百万次级动态寿命的问题,以FLEX-FU 60 V 4×26 AWG+24×28 AWG柔性电缆为研究对象,探究了成缆结构对动态弯曲寿命的影响。设计并对比了两种成缆方案:方案1以26 AWG星绞单元为中心支撑,方案2以芳纶纤维为中心填充,线芯均布外围。依据2 PfG 2577,在3D扭转与弯折耦合工况下开展了疲劳寿命试验。结果表明,方案2有效克服了方案1中心线芯应力集中导致的断丝失效问题,其所有线芯电阻变化率均小于2%,无断丝现象,预测寿命(电阻上升5%临界点)可达977万次,较方案1提升一倍以上。研究表明,采用芳纶中心填充能有效分散复合交变应力,显著提升电缆抗疲劳性能。文中总结出的结构设计原则,为高柔性机器人电缆的工程化开发提供了重要理论与试验依据。

       

      Abstract: To address the problem that high-end robot cables had long been dependent on imports and the requirements of million-cycle dynamic life were difficult to be met by traditional structures, the FLEX-FU 60 V 4×26 AWG+24×28 AWG flexible cable was taken as the research object, and the effect of stranding structure on dynamic bending life was investigated. Two cabling schemes were designed and compared: in scheme 1, the 26 AWG star-twisted unit was used as the central support, while inscheme 2, aramid fiber was utilized as the central filling, with the conductive cores evenly distributed around the periphery. According to the 2 PfG 2577 standard, fatigue life tests were conducted under coupled conditions of 3D torsion and bending. The results showed that the wire breakage failure caused by stress concentration in the central core of scheme 1 was effectively overcome by scheme 2; the resistance change rates of all cores were maintained below 2%, and no broken wires were observed. Furthermore, the predicted life (at the critical point of a 5% resistance increase) was reached at 9.77 million cycles, which was more than double that of scheme 1. It was demonstrated that the composite alternating stress was effectively dispersed by the application of aramid central filling, and the fatigue resistance of the cable was significantly improved. Finally, important theoretical and experimental bases for the engineering development of highly flexible robot cables were provided by the structural design principles summarized in this paper.
