Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motors, and particularly to a motor with a coaxial integrated magnetic gear reduction device. Background Art

[0002] As the application scope of motors in the field of robots is getting wider and wider, the requirements for the volume, assembly accuracy, output torque, vibration and noise of motors are also getting higher and higher. In order to achieve a low-speed and high-torque output, currently commonly used motors generally need to be connected to a load through a speed reducer. However, the separate use of a motor and a speed reducer has certain defects. The volume is larger, the space utilization rate is low, and at the same time, the accuracy of the final output shaft will be reduced. The external structure is complex, the assembly is troublesome, and the later maintenance is also very cumbersome, which directly affects the production and maintenance costs. From the perspective of the speed reducer, most of the currently used ones are mechanical gears, such as planetary speed reducers, harmonic speed reducers, etc. However, due to the contact relationship, mechanical gears will have failure forms such as tooth root fracture, wear, tooth root gluing, and plastic deformation. Therefore, it is necessary to find a more suitable alternative. Compared with mechanical gears, magnetic gears have no contact, no wear, and no vibration in structure, so they have the advantages of low maintenance cost and high reliability. The derived magnetic gear motor has significant advantages such as simple structure, high efficiency, and strong torque output ability. However, the current magnetic gear motors have high requirements for the motor during assembly, and errors are easily generated during assembly, thus affecting the coaxiality of the motor and the accuracy of the output shaft.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, an elastic washer 7, such as a wave washer, is clamped between the bearing seat 1011 and the output shaft bearing 801. The wave washer is in the shape of a wave sheet, its front end face contacts the bearing seat of the front end cover 101, and the rear end face contacts the output shaft bearing 801. Because there will be an accumulation of axial tolerances during the installation of the motor, the role of the wave washer is to absorb this accumulated tolerance.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the maximum diameter of the L-shaped support plate 205 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the rear end cover 408 of the modulation ring to facilitate installation and disassembly during the assembly process.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer rings of the front bearing 802 and the rear bearing 803 of the magnetic gear are respectively mounted on the bearing seats of the output shaft flange 5 and the rear end cover 408 of the modulation ring, and the inner rings are respectively mounted on the corresponding shaft shoulders of the rotating shaft 6. Specifically, the outer ring of the rear bearing 803 of the magnetic gear is mounted on the rabbet of the inner hole at the rear side of the rear end cover 408 of the modulation ring. The front retaining plate of the rear bearing 803 of the magnetic gear is close to the retaining opening inside the rear end cover 408 of the modulation ring, and the rear retaining plate contacts the shaft shoulder of the rotating shaft 6.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the magnetic gear reduction unit 4 adopts a method where the high-speed magnetic gear inner rotor 40 is the high-speed rotor input, the modulation ring rotor 403 is the low-speed rotor output, and the outer stator is fixed. The rotation directions of the magnetic gear inner rotor 40 and the modulation ring rotor 403 are the same, and the ratio of the number of internal and external pole pairs is 2:13.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner rotor permanent magnet 204 adopts a radial magnetization structure, the inner magnetic ring 402 adopts an outward magnetic focusing structure, and the outer magnetic ring 404 adopts an inward magnetic focusing structure.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bolt head of the long hexagon socket bolt 410 is fixed on the end face of the flange plate 502, and passes through the end face of the output shaft flange 5, the front boss structure 4061 of the front insulating gasket 406, the gap between the modulation blocks of the modulation ring rotor 403, the rear boss structure 4071 of the rear insulating gasket 407 and the end face of the rear end cover 408 of the modulation ring in sequence. The nut 411 is sleeved on the long hexagon socket bolt 410 and fixed on the end face of the rear end cover 408.

[0071] When assembling this embodiment, you can refer to the following steps for assembly:

[0072] First, install the motor stator 201 (winding and glue filling steps have been completed) on the positioning ring of the casing 1, and then install the magnetic gear stator 405 (the outer magnetic ring 404 has been fixed with glue) on the positioning ring of the casing 1; because the embodiment of the present invention adopts a method of sleeve two rotors on a rotating shaft 6, they need to be assembled together during assembly. First, assemble the magnetic gear reduction unit 4, glue the inner magnetic ring 402 to the magnetic gear rotor yoke 401, and then install it on the shoulder of the rotating shaft 6, then make the magnetic gear rear bearing 803 and the magnetic gear front bearing 802 interference fit on the shoulder of the rotating shaft 6, put the modulation ring rear end cover 408 on the magnetic gear rear bearing 803, and then put the rear insulating gasket 407 through the stop It is sleeved on the rear end cover 408 of the modulation ring, and then the modulation ring rotor 403 is nested on the rear boss structure 4071 of the rear insulating gasket. When assembling the front insulating gasket 406, it is necessary to pay attention to aligning the front boss structure 4061 of the front insulating gasket and the rear boss structure 4071 of the rear insulating gasket. Then the output shaft flange 5 (the output shaft bearing 801 has been interference fit on the output shaft flange 5) is sleeved on the stopper of the front insulating gasket 406, and at the same time, the bearing seat of the output shaft flange 5 is just clamped on the front bearing 802 of the magnetic gear. Finally, the long hexagon socket bolts 410 are passed through the through holes in turn, and the bolt heads are fixed on the end face of the flange 502, and are locked and fixed on the end face of the rear end cover of the magnetic gear with nuts 411;

[0073] Then install the motor rotor part. First, glue the inner rotor permanent magnet 204 (i.e., bread-shaped magnet) to the motor rotor 203, and then fit the L-shaped support plate 205 on the shoulder of the rotating shaft 6. Then, fix the rotor bracket of the motor rotor 203 and the L-shaped support plate 205 with six hexagon socket bolts 206 to fix the motor rotor and the rotating shaft 6. Then, fit the thin bearing 804 on the shoulder of the rotating shaft 6. Now, the rotor part is installed. Put the whole rotor in from the front end of the housing 1. It should be noted that the bread-shaped permanent magnet on the motor will have an attractive force on the outer magnetic ring of the magnetic gear, so it needs to be installed carefully.

[0074] After placing the rotating shaft 6 into the housing 104, the rear end cover 102 is sleeved on the rear end of the housing 104, and the thin bearing on the rotating shaft 6 is mounted on the bearing seat of the rear end cover 102. First, the wave washer 7 is placed in the bearing seat of the front end cover 101, and then it is mounted on the output shaft bearing 801. The front end cover 101 is brought into contact with the integrated housing 1 and fixed thereto with four hexagon socket head cap screws, completing the positioning and fitting of the rotating shaft 6;

[0075] Next, the encoder 3 is sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft 6, and the support piece of the encoder 3 is brought into contact with the rear surface of the rear end cover. It is fixed to the rear end cover with two hexagon socket head cap screws. Then, the encoder housing 103 is sleeved on the rear end cover 102. Finally, four bolts are sequentially passed through the through holes in the ear plates of the encoder housing 103 and the rear end cover 102 and fixed to the rear end cover 102 of the housing 1. Thus, the installation of the integrated motor is completed.

[0076] The process during the operation of this embodiment is generally as follows:

[0077] When the motor winding 202 is powered on, it will drive the rotor 203 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, driving the magnetic gear rotor yoke 401 also mounted on the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. Due to the effect of magnetic field modulation, it will drive the modulation ring rotor 403 to rotate in the same direction as the high-speed inner rotor 401, realizing the transmission of power. Also, because the number of pole pairs of the inner magnetic ring 402 and the outer magnetic ring 404 is different, the effect of torque amplification can be achieved. In the embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the number of pole pairs of the inner and outer magnetic rings is 2:13. Therefore, the number of modulation blocks on the modulation ring rotor 403 is 15. Thus, the transmission ratio of the magnetic gear reduction unit 4 is 7.5. The modulation ring rotor 403 is also connected to the output shaft flange 5 through the front insulating gasket 406 to realize the output of power; in addition, the encoder 3 located at the rear end of the servo motor unit 2 reads the rotor position signal, which is a rotary sensor that converts the rotational displacement into a series of digital pulse signals. These pulses can be used to control the angular displacement, and further control the servo motor unit 4 to rotate in a specified manner.

[0078] In summary, the present invention provides a servo motor integrated with a magnetic gear. The servo motor unit 2 is located at the rear end of the whole, the magnetic gear reduction unit 4 is installed at the front end of the servo motor unit 2, and the output shaft flange 5 is installed at the front end of the magnetic gear reduction unit 4. The housing 1 covers the magnetic gear reduction unit 4 and the servo motor unit 2 entirely. It can be analyzed that by integrating the servo motor unit 2 and the magnetic gear reduction unit 4 together, the rotating shaft 6 of the motor and the input shaft of the magnetic gear reduction unit 4 share the same axis, thus avoiding the installation error caused by the split structure in terms of structure and improving the output precision of the integrated motor. Secondly, the structure of the present invention is integrated, which can reduce the time consumed in selecting the servo motor and the magnetic gear reduction unit at the initial stage of product design. In addition, since the integrated structure reduces the repetitive parts and has a smaller volume, it can reduce the space occupied by the product. Moreover, because the non-contact magnetic gear transmission structure is used, there is no vibration and low noise, which can meet some special application scenarios.

[0079] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
