Title:
SLIDE CONTACT AND ROBOT WITH THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3900417
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slide contact which can stably energize even in an environment in which a dust or sputter is generated and which has excellent maintainability and to provide a robot with the slide contact.
SOLUTION: Since this slid contact has a cleaning groove 34 disposed at an annular electrode 30 side, even if the dust or the sputter adhered to the electrode 30 is sandwiched between the electrode 30 and a block electrode 40, when the electrode 40 passes across the groove 34, the dust or the sputter is scraped and removed by the groove 34. Thus, the dust or the sputter is prevented from being stacked between the electrode 40 and the electrode 30, and hence a stable energization can be performed. Further, since the groove 34 is constituted in a gap between arcuate electrodes 33 and 33, a cost can be reduced as compared with the case in which a cleaning groove is formed separately from the above-mentioned gap.
