Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of harmonic reducer manufacturing technology, specifically to an automated batch assembly device and assembly method for harmonic reducers. Background Technology

[0002] Harmonic reducers consist of components such as a wave generator, a flexible gear, and a rigid gear. The meshing principle of harmonic transmission involves the wave generator forcing the flexible gear to produce harmonic elastic deformation along a circumference and a large-range rotating multi-tooth meshing motion, achieving high-precision motion or high-torque power transmission. Due to their advantages such as high transmission accuracy, small size, light weight, and large reduction ratio, harmonic reducers are widely used in industrial robot joints, aerospace, and military equipment. The meshing performance and transmission accuracy of harmonic reducers determine the dynamic performance of high-end equipment systems.

[0003] Most existing harmonic reducer products are assembled manually or semi-mechanized. Currently, the assembly process for harmonic reducers largely relies on manual assistance with a single hand-held fixture to achieve the elliptical pre-deformation of thin-walled flexible bearings and flexure wheels, sequentially assembling them with the elliptical cam wave generator.
