Abstract
A multiple joint robot includes a movable body, a motor for generating power to actuate the movable body, a motor housing for accommodating the motor, and a cooling structure for dissipating heat generated from the motor. The cooling structure includes a heat conductor in the motor housing, and the heat conductor forms a heat conductive path for transmitting heat from the motor to the motor housing. The heat conductor has a first surface in contact with a heat generating surface of the motor and a second surface in contact with an inner surface of the motor housing. A position of the heat conductor can be adjusted to form the heat conductive path by sliding the first surface and/or the second surface along the opposed heat generating surface or inner surface.
