[0027] Reference Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution, a servo motor for a rehabilitation robot joint, comprising a main body shell 1 and a radiator 11. A breathable disk 12 is installed on the left output end side of the main body shell 1, and the radiator 11 is installed on the right bottom end of the main body shell 1. A mounting sleeve 2 is fixed on the breathable disk 12, and a rotation direction control device 3 is provided in the mounting sleeve 2, and an air hole 21 connected to the breathable disk 12 is provided on the right chassis of the mounting sleeve 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rotation direction control device 3 includes:

[0029] The rotating shaft 31 is used to be fixedly assembled with the output shaft in the main body shell 1. That is, after the rotating shaft and the output shaft in the main body shell 1 are fixedly assembled, they rotate synchronously;

[0030] The rotation exchange system 32 is mounted and connected to the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 2 via a bearing ring 34. A mounting ring 33 is coaxially fixed to the left side of the mounting ring 33. The left side of the mounting ring 33 is provided with a mounting hole 331. The mounting ring is used for fixed assembly with an external rotating component. The rotation exchange system is used to rotate synchronously with and disengage from the rotating shaft.

[0031] The exchange control system 35 is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 2 through the second bearing ring 36, wherein the exchange control system is used to regulate whether the rotation exchange system and the rotating shaft are in a clamped state or a disengaged state.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the rotation direction exchange system 32 includes a rotating ring disk 321 and a strip groove 311. The inner ring wall of the rotating ring disk 321 is provided with a radial and circumferentially distributed column groove 324. An elastic top pressure piece 325 is fixed on the column groove 324. The other end of the elastic top pressure piece 325 is provided with a locking block 326. The end of the locking block 326 facing the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a convex strip. The inner side surface of the right end of the locking block 326 close to the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a conical arc surface 327, and each of the convex strips corresponds to There is an embeddable groove 311, which is opened on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 31. Each of the two sides of the column groove 1 324 is also provided with a column groove 2 328. A guide column 329 slides in the column groove 2 328, and the other end of the guide column 329 is fixed on the locking block 326. The matching structure of the guide column and the column groove 2 is used to guide the movement direction of the elastic top pressure piece and reduce the force strength of the elastic top pressure piece to ensure the smoothness of the movement of the elastic top pressure piece. Specifically, Figure 3-4 The elastic pressing piece is always in a compressed state, the locking block expands and moves outward, and the continuous compression of the elastic pressing piece causes the convex strip and the strip groove to disengage from each other, thereby causing the locking block to disengage from the rotating shaft. When the elastic pressing piece is reset, it presses the locking block to retract and move, and the convex strip fits with the outer wall of the rotating shaft until the convex strip meets the strip groove and is engaged under the action of the elastic pressing piece, so that the locking block and the rotating shaft are engaged as a whole, so that they can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the exchange control system 35 includes a second rotating ring disk 351, and a third column groove 359 is provided on the left side of the second rotating ring disk 351 in a circumferential distribution. A load column 3510 slides in the third column groove 359, and the other end of the load column 3510 is fixed to the right side of the load ring disk 353. The load ring disk 353 is coaxially arranged with the second rotating ring disk 351. An expansion head 354 is coaxially fixed to the left side of the load ring disk 353, and the left end of the expansion head 354 is provided with a chamfered surface 355. In addition, a retractor 352 is fixed to the left side of the second rotating ring disk 351. The retractor 352 is fixed to the right side of the load ring disk 353. The output end 2 is fixed to the right side of the load ring disc 353. The chamfered surface 355 has the same inclination angle as the cross-section of the conical arc surface 327. The matching structure of the load column and the column groove 3 is used to guide the axial movement of the load ring disc and reduce the force applied to the expander. Specifically, under the control and drive of the expander, the load ring disc and the expansion head are controlled to move axially. When the top of the expansion head moves continuously into the conical arc surface, the locking block can be expanded outward. When the expansion head moves continuously outward from the conical arc surface, the locking block will be retracted under the action of the elastic pressing member.

[0034] An inner gear ring 3511 is fixed to the right side of the second rotating ring disk 351. The inner gear ring 3511 meshes with a slave gear 357 provided on one side of the mounting sleeve 2. The slave gear 357 also meshes with a gear ring sleeve 358 fixed to the rotating shaft 31. In other words, the rotating shaft and the gear ring sleeve rotate synchronously. The gear ring sleeve drives the slave gear to rotate, and the slave gear again drives the inner gear ring to rotate. Therefore, the inner gear ring rotates in the opposite direction to the rotating shaft.

[0035] A locking ring 2 356 is also fixed to the left side of the load ring disk 353, and a locking ring 1 323 is provided on one side of the locking ring 2 356. The locking ring 1 323 is fixed in the side ring groove 322, and the side ring groove 322 is provided on one side of the rotating ring disk 1 321; that is, when the load ring disk and the expansion head move synchronously, for example, when the top of the expansion head continues to move into the conical arc surface, and when the convex strip is separated from the strip groove, at this time, the locking block 2 begins to gradually move toward the locking ring 1 to cooperate with each other, lock the locking ring 1, and form a whole, so that the locking ring 1 and the locking block 2 rotate synchronously, thereby changing the rotation direction of the mounting ring.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the locking ring 1 323 includes an assembly ring piece 1 3231 and a protrusion 1 3232. The protrusion 1 3232 is evenly distributed around the circumference and fixed on the assembly ring piece 1 3231. A first mating cavity 1 is formed between adjacent protrusions 1 3232. The locking ring 2 356 includes an assembly ring piece 2 3561 and a second protrusion 3562. The second protrusion 3562 is evenly distributed around the circumference and fixed on the assembly ring piece 2 3561. A second mating cavity 2 is formed between adjacent protrusions 2 3562. The mating cavity 1 and the protrusion 2 can be interlocked with each other, and the mating cavity 2 and the protrusion 1 can be interlocked with each other.

[0037] Specifically, combined Figure 7 As shown, the preparation method of bump 1 and bump 2 is to prepare a circular ring and two discs, and make a ray with an equal angle of 15° with its center on the plane where the upper surface is located, mark the oblique line 1 and oblique line 2 on the circular ring where the ray is located, make an oblique surface 1 with an angle of 60° to the upper surface through oblique line 1, and make an oblique surface 2 with an angle of 60° to the upper surface through oblique line 2, and use a cutting knife to cut along oblique surface 1 and oblique surface 2 in sequence to cut the circular ring to obtain bump 1 and bump 2, and then fix bump 1 evenly on one disc again, and fix bump 2 evenly on the other disc; and the protrusion of bump 1 has only one ridge line, and is installed and fixed on the rotating ring disk 1, and the protrusion of bump 2 has a certain flat end, which is installed on the load ring disk, which is beneficial for bump 2 to lock the rotating bump 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the side of the first convex block 3232 and the side of the second convex block 3562 corresponding thereto are both provided with anti-slip strips 37, and the side where the anti-slip strips are located is the rotation direction of the rotation axis. Figure 5-6 As shown, the direction of rotation of the locking ring is clockwise, that is, Figure 3 When viewed from the right, the rotation direction of the rotating shaft is clockwise, thereby improving the smoothness of the engagement of the locking ring 1 and the locking ring 2, as well as the stability after engagement.

[0039] In this embodiment, an air guide hole 332 is provided on the outer ring wall of the mounting ring 33 .

[0040] In this embodiment, a suction fan blade 312 is provided on the outer end of the rotating shaft 31 to guide external air into the installation sleeve and the interior of the main body shell.

[0041] During the specific implementation, the assembled mounting sleeve and the rotation direction control device are assembled on the breathable disk, the output shaft in the main shell is fixedly matched with the rotating shaft, the mounting ring is fixedly assembled with the external rotating component, and the output shaft rotates unidirectionally in real time. When the rotation direction needs to be changed, it can be fed back to the telescope in the rotation direction control device, thereby controlling the rotation direction exchange system to change the rotation direction of the mounting ring, so that the output shaft does not need to stop the operation, and the rotation direction of the mounting ring can be changed, thereby reducing the heat generated during the operation of the servo motor and improving the controllable accuracy used to assist the reciprocating motion of the joint.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
