AI Technical Summary
Existing robotic arm joints cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of miniaturization and heavy-duty industrial operations for underwater robots, as they are large in size and lack sufficient rotational torque.
A high-power reduction joint comprising a drive chamber and a main housing was designed, employing a single-stage live gear reduction system and a multi-roller contact structure, combined with insulating lubricating oil and a three-layer sealing design, to achieve efficient transmission and sealing of the rotary drive device.
It achieves a compact structure and strong load-bearing capacity, which can meet the needs of heavy-duty operations of industrial-grade underwater robots, while reducing the difficulty and cost of processing.
