The eccentric gears are meshed with each other, so that the eccentric wheels generate radial force. The angular parameters are obtained by measuring the distance between the two eccentric wheels to measure the position and speed of the servo motor. It transmits the real-time position signal of the servo motor back to the controller. The controller adjusts the running state of the motor according to the feedback signal to ensure that the motor works according to the predetermined requirements, forming a closed-loop control system, thereby achieving high dynamic response and precise control; the controller (404) is responsible for receiving the signal sent by the servo motor and converting it into a power signal to control the current of the servo motor and drive the servo motor to work. The controller obtains the real-time position information of the servo motor through the encoder, and corrects the signal instruction in time to ensure that the motor position, direction and speed meet the predetermined requirements.
