(32! Problem to be solved by Akira) In the spindle having the above-described structure, when the spindle 4 is driven upward or downward, the rod screw 61 rotates rapidly due to the rotational force of the drive motor 7. As the spindle 4 is driven by moving the screwed nut 62 upward or downward, the lubricating grease applied to the surface of the rod screw 61 is applied to the rod screw 6 by centrifugal force.
1 and adheres to the inner wall of the post 1 and the surface of the support shaft 4 facing the rod screw 61.

When the spindle 4 moves upward and is exposed above the top plate 11 of the post L, the surface of the spindle 4, which is covered with such scattered grease, comes into direct contact with the air in the industrial robot's workplace. Not only will dust in the air and chips from machining adhere to the surface of the post +h4, making it unclean, but when the support shaft 4 moves downward, the inside of the post 1 will become contaminated. There is a risk that this part will get stuck and cause a failure of the drive mechanism that moves up and down. Further, when the robot is used in a semiconductor manufacturing factory, dust such as oil leakage adhering to the spindle 4 will be scattered into the air and contaminate the factory air.

(Function) Since the scattering of lubricating grease caused by the high-speed rotation of the rod screw is prevented by providing a dustproof cover on the spindle, the sides of the spindle that protrude from the top surface of the post will not have grease splashed on them. Therefore, even if the side surface of the spindle comes into contact with the outside air, it will not become contaminated with dust.Also, even if grease is scattered on the inside of the dustproof cover, it will not come into direct contact with the outside air, so there is no chance of drive device failure due to dust or foreign matter. It can be prevented.

When the rod screw 61 is rotated at high speed, the lubricating grease applied to the surface of the rod screw 61 is transferred to the rod screw 61.
The particles scatter near the dustproof cover 42 and adhere to the inner wall of the dustproof cover 42 and the side surface of the support shaft 4 covered with the dustproof cover 42. Then, for example, the support shaft 4 moves upward and the top plate 11 of the post 1
Even if it protrudes further, only the outer surface of the dustproof cover 42 and the side surface of the support +I+ 4 to which no grease is attached are exposed to the outside air, so that it is possible to prevent dust from adhering to these outer surfaces and side surfaces. Furthermore, within the downward movement range of the support shaft 4, the insertion hole 11a is always covered by the support shaft 4 and the dustproof cover 42, which prevents dust from entering the inside of the boss l=1. has been described with reference to one embodiment, but within the scope of the present invention, various modifications are possible, such as providing the face plate 11 not horizontally but at an angle, and these are excluded from the scope of the present invention. It's not a thing.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained in detail above, the present invention provides a dustproof cover to prevent lubricating grease scattered by high-speed rotation of a bar screw from adhering to the side surface of a spindle exposed to the outside air. Since the grease-applied surface is covered with a sealant, the grease-applied surface does not come into direct contact with the air in the workplace, and the industrial robot can be kept clean. Furthermore, even if grease is scattered on the inner surface of the dustproof cover, it does not come into direct contact with the outside air, so failure of the drive device due to contamination by dust can be prevented.
