The invention discloses a structure of rope-driven mechanical arm rotation joint. The structure comprises a synchronous belt wheel shaft, a synchronous belt, an angle sensor, an arm joint bearing end plate, a deep groove ball bearing, an angular contact ball bearing and a mechanical arm connection clamping block, wherein the mechanical arm connection clamping block is provided with a connection hole and a steel wire rope through hole; the synchronous belt wheel shaft comprises a belt wheel end and a shaft end from top to bottom; a sensor containing hole, a sensor output shaft connection hole and a cross recessed countersunk head screw inner threaded hole are arranged along the axis of the synchronous belt wheel shaft in sequence; and the inner rings of the deep groove ball bearing and the angular contact ball bearing are respectively fixed at the upper part and the lower part of the belt wheel end through transition fit. According to the structure, the movement of the joint in a relatively large range can be realized; by adopting a detachable structure, the maintenance and carrying are convenient, the structure is simplified, the running efficiency of the joint is improved and the movement coupling of the joint is avoided; the problem that only stretching can be carried out and compression cannot be carried out in the rope driving process, the structure is simple, and stroke range is large, so that the structure is particularly suitable for being installed on the disabled and aged helping facilities such as wheelchairs and care beds.
