[0008] In one embodiment of the present application, the fixing assembly further includes a mounting seat, which is fixedly connected to the motor bracket; the rotary drive device further includes a brake, which is mounted on the mounting seat and movably cooperates with the motor rotor to brake the motor rotor.

[0025] See also Figure 1In some mechanical structures that perform circular work, such as crane slewing tables and robot joints, rotary drive devices have very wide applications. Generally, rotary drive devices are used to drive load 100 to perform rotational motion. The present application provides a rotary drive device, which is used to drive load 100 to rotate, and the rotary drive device includes a driven component 1, a driving component 2, a torque transmission member 3, a first torque sensor 4 and a second torque sensor 5. Among them, the driving component 2 is used as a power source to output torque, and the driving component 2 includes a fixed component 21 and a rotating component 22, and the rotating component 22 is rotatably connected to the fixed component 21, and the fixed component 21 can drive the rotating component 22 to rotate. The rotating component 22 is connected to the driven component 1 through the torque transmission member 3, so that the torque output by the driving component 2 is transmitted to the driven component 1 through the torque transmission member 3. The driven component 1 is connected to the load 100, and is used to drive the load 100 to rotate. That is, the torque output by the driving component 2 is mainly used to drive the load 100 to rotate.

[0026] In order to accurately measure the magnitude of the torque applied to different parts of the rotary drive device, the present application sets different torque sensors at different parts of the rotary drive device. Among them, the first torque sensor 4 is connected to the fixed component 21 and the torque transmission member 3 to detect the torque applied to the first torque sensor 4 by the torque transmission member 3. The second torque sensor 5 is provided in the driven component 1 to detect the output torque of the driving component 2.

[0027] The first torque sensor 4 is any one of a strain gauge torque sensor, a capacitive torque sensor, a piezoelectric torque sensor and a piezoresistive torque sensor. Similarly, the second torque sensor 5 is any one of a strain gauge torque sensor, a capacitive torque sensor, a piezoelectric torque sensor and a piezoresistive torque sensor. Strain gauge torque sensors, capacitive torque sensors, piezoelectric torque sensors and piezoresistive torque sensors all have the advantages of fast strain response speed and high measurement accuracy, and can quickly and accurately measure the corresponding torque.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the driving component 2 is started, and the driving component 2 drives the rotating component 22 to accelerate the rotation. The rotating component 22 transmits the torque to the driven component 1 through the torque transmission member 3, so that the driven component 1 also accelerates the rotation. The accelerated rotation of the driven component 1 will drive the load 100 to accelerate the rotation together. The output torque G2 of the driving component 2 is decomposed into two parts, one part of the torque causes the load 100 to generate an angular acceleration a, and the other part of the torque is offset by the reverse torque generated by the fixed component 21 on the torque transmission member 3. In the prior art, the first torque sensor 4 is not provided, and the output torque G2 of the driving component 2 is used as the torque that causes the load 100 to generate an angular acceleration a. However, part of the output torque G2 of the driving component 2 is offset by the reverse torque generated by the fixed component 21 on the torque transmission member 3. Therefore, the torque that causes the load 100 to generate an angular acceleration a is inconsistent with the output torque G2 of the driving component 2, resulting in a system error. The output torque G2 of the driving component 2 can be directly measured by the second torque sensor 5, and the first torque sensor 4 can measure the torque G1 generated by the torque transmission member 3 on the fixed component 21. By using the formula: G2-G1=M*a, the torque G1 in the output torque G2 of the drive component 2 that fails to generate angular acceleration for the load 100 can be eliminated, thereby obtaining the actual torque of the drive component 2 that causes the load 100 to generate angular acceleration, and then correcting the system error of the linear drive device. Wherein, M is the moment of inertia of the load 100, and a is the angular acceleration of the load 100. In summary, the rotary drive device provided by the present application eliminates the system error existing in the dynamic response process of the rotary drive device, thereby facilitating the precise control of the motion process of the rotary drive device.

[0029] In one embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, the rotary drive device uses a rotary motor as a power source. Specifically, the fixed component 21 includes a motor bracket 211 and a motor stator 212, and the rotating component 22 includes a motor rotor 221. The motor bracket 211, the motor stator 212 and the motor rotor 221 constitute a rotary motor. Among them, the motor stator 212 is fixed to the motor bracket 211, and the motor rotor 221 is rotatably connected to the motor bracket 211 through the first bearing 71. When the rotary drive device is started, the motor stator 212 can rotate the motor rotor 221 under the action of the magnetic field, thereby realizing the output torque of the drive component 2. The rotary motor can be directly connected to the load 100, and can also be connected to the load 100 through a reducer. Such a configuration fundamentally improves the reliability of the rotary drive device, reduces the maintenance cost of the rotary drive device, and improves the positioning accuracy of the rotary drive device. In this embodiment, the definition of the motor rotor 221 is relatively broad. When the rotating motor is directly connected to the load 100, the rotating parts between the load 100 and the motor stator 212 can be defined as the motor rotor 221. When the rotating motor is connected to the load 100 via a reducer, the rotating parts between the reducer and the motor stator 212 can be defined as the motor rotor 221. Therefore, in order for the motor rotor 221 to better transmit torque, the motor rotor 221 will be designed into different shapes to facilitate the motor rotor 221 to connect to the load 100 or the reducer.

[0030] In order to better realize the control of the rotating electrical machine, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the rotary drive device is also provided with a control component 6 and an incremental encoder 81, and the control component 6 is electrically connected to the rotary motor and the incremental encoder 81, respectively. Specifically, the incremental encoder 81 is provided at one end of the motor rotor 221, and the incremental encoder 81 can measure the rotation speed of the rotary motor rotor 221 in real time, and then the incremental encoder 81 transmits the rotation speed data of the rotary motor to the control component 6, and the control component 6 can control the speed change of the motor rotor 221 according to the measurement result of the incremental encoder 81, so that the rotation speed of the rotary motor reaches the target speed. By measuring and controlling the rotation speed of the rotary motor through the incremental encoder 81, the rotation speed of the load 100 can be accurately controlled. The control component 6 can be a controller such as an industrial computer or a microprocessor.

[0031] Furthermore, if Figure 1As shown, in order to better realize the braking of the rotating motor, so as to control the rotating drive device to stop running at any time, the rotating drive device is also provided with a brake 9. Specifically, the fixing assembly 21 also includes a mounting seat 213, the mounting seat 213 is fixedly connected to the motor bracket 211, and the brake 9 is installed on the mounting seat 213, and the brake 9 is movably matched with the motor rotor 221 to brake the motor rotor 221. When the brake 9 is attached to the motor rotor 221, the motor rotor 221 slows down under the friction of the brake 9, and the tighter the brake 9 fits with the motor rotor 221, the faster the speed of the motor rotor 221 decreases. When the brake 9 is away from the motor rotor 221, the motor rotor 221 will not be affected by the friction force from the brake 9. More specifically, one end of the motor rotor 221 forms a step structure, the brake 9 stops at the step structure, and the brake 9 is movably matched with the step surface of the step structure.

[0032] However, if the rotating speed of the rotating motor is too fast, and the output power is constant, reducing the rotating speed of the rotating motor is beneficial to increasing the output torque of the rotating motor, thereby realizing low-speed and high-torque transmission of the rotating motor. In order to better reduce the output speed of the rotating motor. In one embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the rotary drive device is provided with a harmonic drive reducer between the load 100 and the rotary motor. Specifically, the rotating assembly 22 includes a wave generator 222, the torque transmission member 3 is a flexible gear 31, the driven assembly 1 includes a rigid gear 11, and the wave generator 222, the flexible gear 31 and the rigid gear 11 constitute a harmonic drive reducer. Among them, the flexible gear 31 is at least partially sleeved on the wave generator 222, and the cross section of the portion of the wave generator 222 sleeved by the flexible gear 31 is elliptical, so the portion of the flexible gear 31 sleeved on the wave generator 222 cooperates with the wave generator 222 to form an elliptical gear structure, and the gear teeth of the elliptical gear structure face the side away from the wave generator 222. When the harmonic drive reducer is in operation, the long axis end of the elliptical gear structure is always meshed with the rigid gear 11, while the short axis end of the elliptical gear structure is completely disengaged from the rigid gear 11, and the portion between the long axis end and the short axis end of the elliptical gear structure is in an incompletely meshed transition state with the rigid gear 11. When the wave generator 222 rotates continuously under the drive of the motor rotor 221, the deformation of the flexible gear 31 is constantly changing, and the meshing state of the flexible gear 31 and the rigid gear 11 is also constantly changing. The meshing state of the flexible gear 31 and the rigid gear 11 repeats the process of meshing in, fully meshing, meshing out, fully disengaging, and meshing again, so that the rigid gear 11 can rotate slowly relative to the flexible gear 31 in the same direction as the wave generator 222. In this embodiment, when the harmonic drive reducer is working, the flexible gear 31 is fixedly connected to the fixed component 21, and the motor rotor 221 drives the wave generator 222 to rotate. The rigid gear 11 acts as a driven wheel, outputs rotation, and then drives the load 100 to rotate. In the transmission process of the harmonic drive reducer, the wave generator 222 rotates one circle, and the number of cycles of deformation of a certain point on the flexible gear 31 is called the wave number, which is represented by n, and n is usually 2 or 3. Among them, when n is 2, the harmonic drive reducer is a double-wave drive. At this time, the structure of the harmonic drive reducer is relatively simple, and the harmonic drive reducer is easy to obtain a larger transmission ratio.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to measure the torque G1 generated by the torque transmission member 3 on the fixed assembly 21, one end of the flexible gear 31 is fixedly connected to the first torque sensor 4, and the first torque sensor 4 is fixedly connected to the motor bracket 211. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the flexible gear 31 includes a meshing portion 311 and a connecting portion 312. The meshing portion 311 is cylindrical, and at least a portion of the meshing portion 311 is sleeved on the wave generator 222, and the outer wall of the portion of the meshing portion 311 sleeved on the wave generator 222 is meshed and connected with the inner wall of the rigid gear 11. One end of the meshing portion 311 away from the wave generator 222 is folded outward to form a connecting portion 312, and the connecting portion 312 is fixedly connected to the first torque sensor 4. Such a configuration facilitates the harmonic drive reducer to transmit the torque G1 to the first torque sensor 4 through the flexible gear 31.

[0034] In order to better connect the load 100 to the harmonic drive reducer, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, an output flange 12 is provided between the harmonic drive reducer and the load 100. Specifically, the driven component 1 further includes an output flange 12, the output flange 12 is fixedly connected to the rigid gear 11, and the load 100 is connected to the output flange 12, and the rigid gear 11 drives the load 100 to rotate through the output flange 12. The second torque sensor 5 is provided between the output flange 12 and the rigid gear 11.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to make the structure of the rotation drive device more stable, in one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the output flange 12 includes a fixedly connected support portion 121 and an assembly portion 122. The support portion 121 is cylindrical, and the outer side of the support portion 121 is sleeved with a second bearing 72, and the support portion 121 is rotatably connected to the drive assembly 2 through the second bearing 72. Specifically, the support portion 121 is rotatably connected to the motor rotor 221 through the second bearing 72, thereby improving the structural stability of the rotary drive device. In addition, one end of the support portion 121 is folded outward to form an assembly portion 122, one side of the assembly portion 122 is connected to the rigid gear 11, and the other side is used to connect the load 100. The rigid gear 11 can drive the load 100 to rotate through the assembly portion 122, and the second torque sensor 5 is arranged between the assembly portion 122 and the rigid gear 11. Similarly, the outer sleeve of the rigid gear 11 is provided with a third bearing 73, and the rigid gear 11 is rotatably connected to the motor bracket 211 through the third bearing 73, thereby further improving the structural strength of the entire rotary drive device.

[0036] Similarly, in order to better achieve the control of the output flange 12, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the rotary drive device is also provided with an absolute encoder 82, and the control component 6 is electrically connected to the absolute encoder 82. Specifically, the absolute encoder 82 is provided at one end of the support portion 121 away from the assembly portion 122. The absolute encoder 82 can measure the rotation position of the output flange 12 in real time when it rotates, and then the absolute encoder 82 transmits the position information of the output flange 12 to the control component 6, and the control component 6 can control the rotation angle change of the output flange 12 according to the measurement result of the absolute encoder 82.

[0037] The present application also provides a method for correcting a system error of a rotation drive device, which is used to correct a system error of the rotation drive device described in any one of the above embodiments. The method for correcting a system error of a rotation drive device comprises the following steps:

[0038] Install the load on the driven component.

[0039] Start the drive assembly to accelerate the rotation of the rotating assembly.

[0040] The rotating component drives the driven component to accelerate rotation through the torque transmission member.

[0041] The output torque G2 of the driving component is measured by a second torque sensor provided in the driven component.

[0042] The torque G1 of the torque transmission member acting on the first torque sensor is measured by the first torque sensor connected to the torque transmission member.

[0043] The system error of the linear drive device is corrected by the formula: G2-G1=M*a, where M is the moment of inertia of the load and a is the angular acceleration of the load.

[0044] The method for correcting the system error of the rotary drive device provided in the present application specifically comprises the following steps:

[0045] The load 100 is detachably mounted on the output flange 12 by fasteners. Then the control component 6 controls the rotating motor to start, the motor stator 212 drives the motor rotor 221 to rotate, and the motor rotor 221 drives the harmonic drive reducer to rotate. In addition, the harmonic drive reducer converts the high-speed rotation output by the rotating motor into a low-speed rotation. Afterwards, the output flange 12 connected to the harmonic drive reducer rotates along with the rigid gear 11, thereby driving the load 100 to rotate together. The speed of the rotating motor increases from zero, so the rotating motor and the load 100 are both accelerated. During the acceleration process of the load 100 and the output flange 12, the second torque sensor 5 can measure the output torque G2 of the drive motor, and one end of the flexible gear 31 is fixed to the first torque sensor 4, so the flexible gear 31 does not rotate, and the first torque sensor 4 can measure the torque G1 transmitted by the flexible gear 31 to the motor bracket 211, and G1 cannot act on the load 100 to generate angular acceleration of the load 100. Therefore, through the formula: G2-G1=M*a, G1 that cannot cause the load 100 to generate angular acceleration is eliminated, thereby correcting the system error of the linear drive device.

[0046] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described.
