All modules and functional parts of the fixed part are installed in a coaxial layout, which is beneficial to compact structure layout and modular integration.

[0023] Referring to Figure 2 The preferred embodiment of the present application comprises a motor stator 10, a stator base 11, a stator heat dissipation channel 12, a mechanical locking pin 13, a proximity switch 14, a stator end cover 15, and a key 16. The stator heat dissipation channel 12 can be made of stainless steel pipe and can be bent or formed by other processes. The stator heat dissipation channel 12 is evenly nested in the heat source gap of the motor stator 10. When the stator heat dissipation channel 12 is nested, heat-conducting glue is used to fill the gap between the stator heat dissipation channel 12 and the heat source, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. Then, the assembled stator heat dissipation channel 12 and the motor stator 10 are loaded into the outer circular surface of the stator base 11.

[0024] Referring to Figure 3The preferred embodiment of the present application includes a fixed part 1, a rotating part 2, a hollow speed reducer 3, a rotating joint 4, a rigid shift fork 5, and a DV type ring 6. The inner flange lower surface of the hollow speed reducer 3 is coaxially fitted and installed with the fixed part 1, and the outer flange lower surface of the hollow speed reducer 3 is coaxially fitted and installed with the rotating part 2, both of which are positioned by a stop opening to improve the coaxiality of the assembly with the central shaft.
