Detailed Implementation
[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] See Figures 1-12 The present invention provides an integrated joint module for an intelligent robot, including a housing 1, an input shaft 5, an output shaft 6, a drive assembly, a harmonic reducer 7, and an encoder 9.
[0040] The housing 1 serves as a support and mounting carrier, housing the input shaft 5, output shaft 6, drive assembly, harmonic reducer 7, and encoder 9. The input shaft 5, a cylindrical cylindrical shaft coaxial with the housing 1, is rotatably mounted within the mounting cavity 10, acting as the power input end. The output shaft 6, coaxial with the input shaft 5, is rotatably mounted within it. The drive assembly provides radial driving force to the input shaft and includes a stator 2 and a rotor 3. The stator 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 10, and the rotor 3 is fixed to the outer wall of the input shaft 5. The stator 2 and rotor 3 are located on the same radial plane, generating induced electromotive force and electromagnetic torque, thus forming radial driving force and achieving rotation. The harmonic reducer 7, used for speed reduction, includes a rigid wheel, a flexible wheel, and a wave generator. Teeth are provided on the inner wall of the rigid wheel, and the flexible wheel is flexible and capable of deformation. The outer wall of the flexible wheel is provided with teeth, and the number of teeth is less than that of the steel wheel. The wave generator can cause the flexible wheel to undergo radial deformation. The flexible gear generates a controllable elastic deformation wave, which causes the teeth of the rigid wheel and the flexible wheel to be misaligned to transmit power and motion. It is small in size, consumes less material, and has a large load-bearing capacity. The harmonic reducer 7 is installed at the head of the housing 1. The input end of the harmonic reducer 7 is connected to the input shaft 5, and the output end of the harmonic reducer 7 is connected to the output shaft 6. Specifically, the steel wheel is fixedly connected to the housing 1, the wave generator is connected to the input shaft 5 for power input, and the flexible wheel is connected to the output shaft 6 for power output. The encoder 9 is used for precise angle monitoring. It includes an external encoder 91 and an internal encoder 92. The external encoder 91 is set on the input shaft 5, and the internal encoder 92 is set on the output shaft 6. They are used to precisely control the rotation angle of the input shaft 5 and the output shaft 6, respectively.
[0041] The following explanation is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0042] See Figures 7-8The housing 1 is cylindrical in shape, with mounting cavities 10 extending through both ends, forming a cylindrical structure. The mounting cavity 10 has a circular cross-section and is coaxial with the housing 1. An annular protrusion 11 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 10, located at the tail end of the mounting cavity 10 (in the attached diagram, the upper end is the tail and the lower end is the head). The tail (upper) end face of the annular protrusion 11 forms a first limiting surface, which is used to install a bearing to achieve a rotatable connection with the input shaft 5. The head (lower) end face of the annular protrusion 11 forms a second limiting surface. Two limiting surfaces are used to install the stator 2, i.e., to axially limit the stator 2; a mounting groove 12 is provided on the rear end face of the housing 1, the side wall of which extends inward and connects to the mounting cavity 10 for mounting a circuit board (PCB board). There are at least two mounting grooves 12, evenly distributed circumferentially. Mounting holes are provided on both the rear end face of the housing 1 and the bottom surface of the mounting grooves 12 for fixing the circuit board. A cover 14 is fixed to the rear of the housing 1; a limiting groove 15 is provided on the head (lower) end face of the housing 1. The inner wall of the limiting groove 15 extends radially inward and connects to the mounting cavity 10. There are at least two limiting grooves 15, evenly distributed circumferentially. A shaft hole 16 is formed on the bottom surface of the limiting groove 15, with its axis parallel to the axis of the mounting cavity 10. A screw hole is provided on the bottom surface of the shaft hole 16. The limiting groove 15 is used to install the brake 8, and the shaft hole 16 is used to install the guide rod and spring, enabling the brake 8 to return to its downward position. First mounting holes are formed on both the head end face of the housing 1 and the bottom surface of the limiting groove 15, respectively for connecting the brake 8 and the harmonic reducer. In this embodiment, at least two strip-shaped recesses 13 are evenly distributed around the outer wall of the housing 1, the number of which is the same as the number of the first mounting holes on the lower end face of the housing 1. The length direction of the strip-shaped recesses 13 is parallel to the axis of the housing 1, and its cross-section is U-shaped. The end of the strip-shaped recesses 13 extends axially upward and penetrates the tail of the housing 1. A second mounting hole is provided on the end face of the strip-shaped recesses 13. The second mounting hole penetrates to the outside of the housing 1 and is used to install the harmonic reducer 7. This enables the bolt to be installed in a concealed manner, reducing the overall volume and facilitating the assembly of the joint module.
[0043] See Figures 3-4 and Figure 9The rotor 3 includes a rotor shaft 31 and a rotor body 32. The rotor shaft 31 is cylindrical and is rotatably mounted on the tail end of the mounting cavity 10 via bearings.

The rotor body 32 is fixed outside the rotor shaft 31, and the external encoder 91 is fixed to the tail end of the rotor shaft 31. Specifically, the rotor shaft 31 includes a first annular body 311, a second annular body 312, and a third annular body 313 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first annular body 311, the second annular body 312, and the third annular body 313 are all annular and coaxially arranged. The diameters of the rings decrease sequentially. The third annular body 313 is mounted on the tail end of the input shaft 5 via a key, thereby achieving a radial connection with the input shaft 5 and enabling synchronous rotation. Simultaneously, a first limiting step is formed at the lower end of the third annular body 313, and a second limiting step facing upwards is provided on the side wall of the input shaft 5. The first and second limiting steps contact each other to achieve axial limiting. A first support surface 313a is formed between the inner walls of the second annular body 312 and the third annular body 313, and this first support surface 313a faces upwards. A pressure ring 43 is fitted inside the second annular body 312. This pressure ring 43 is circular, and its inner wall is flush with... The outer wall of the input shaft 5 contacts the inner wall of the second annular body 312. The head of the pressure ring 43 contacts the first support surface 313a, and the tail of the pressure ring 43 extends into the first annular body 311. Simultaneously, its end face is higher than the end face of the input shaft 5; that is, the upper end face of the pressure ring 43 is located at the upper end of the end of the input shaft 5 and the upper end of the stepped surface between the first and second annular bodies. An internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the first annular body 311, and a locking ring 41 is threaded onto this internal thread. The locking ring 41 has an L-shaped cross-section, and its lower end contacts the tail (upper end) of the pressure ring 43, thereby achieving compression. A dynamic seal 42 is provided between the outer walls of the output shaft 6. The dynamic seal 42 is an oil seal or a mechanical seal. A mounting hole is provided at the end of the first annular body 311 for mounting an external encoder. The lower edge of the first annular body 311 extends radially outward to form a support part 3111. The support part 3111 is annular. The external encoder 91 includes an external encoder bracket ring and an external encoder body fixed at the end of the external encoder bracket ring. The external encoder bracket ring is fixed at the end of the first annular body 311. A bearing mounting area is formed between the support part 3111 and the external encoder bracket ring for mounting a bearing to realize the rotational connection between the input shaft 5 and the housing 1.
[0044] The lower end of the output shaft 6 passes through the input shaft 5 and extends to the outer end, and extends radially outward to form a connecting flange, which is connected to the harmonic reducer 7 by bolts. Specifically, it is connected to the flex wheel of the harmonic reducer 7.
[0045] See Figures 10-11The internal encoder 92 includes an internal encoder bracket and an internal encoder body 922 mounted on the internal encoder bracket. The internal encoder bracket includes an internal bracket body 921, which is cylindrical. An internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the internal bracket body 921, which is threaded to the tail of the output shaft 6. A dynamic seal is provided between the outer wall of the internal bracket body 921 and the input shaft 5 (locking ring) to achieve sealing. The top of the internal bracket body 921 extends radially inward to form a limiting part, and the bottom surface of this limiting part forms a limiting surface. It contacts the end of the output shaft 6 to achieve axial positioning. At least two recessed holes are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the positioning part to form a tightening part 9211, which is used to fix the inner encoder bracket to the end of the output shaft 6 by means of a tool. The top of the inner bracket body 921 extends radially outward to form an annular mounting part 9213. The inner encoder body 922 is mounted on the mounting part 9213. In this embodiment, an annular groove coaxial with it is opened on the mounting part 9213. The inner encoder 92 is annular and is locked in the annular groove to achieve installation.
[0046] In this application, a brake 8 is provided inside the housing 1 for contacting the end of the rotor 3 and achieving braking, see reference. Figure 3 and Figure 12 The brake 8 includes a brake seat 81 and a brake disc 82. The brake seat 81 is circular and can slide along the axial direction. A central hole is formed at both ends of the center of the brake seat 81, allowing the output shaft 6 to pass through. A protrusion forming guide blocks 811 is provided on the side wall of the brake seat 81. There are at least two guide blocks 811, evenly distributed circumferentially. The inner wall of the housing 1 has guide grooves (limiting grooves) for inserting and sliding the guide blocks 811, which can withstand the radial force transmitted to the brake seat 81 during braking. The brake disc 82 is annular and fixed to the brake seat 81. The upper end face of the brake disc 82 forms a first braking surface 821. A [missing information - likely a design feature] is provided at the end of the rotor 3. The annular braking part has a second braking surface formed on its lower end, which corresponds to the first braking surface 821. When in contact, it can achieve friction braking. At the same time, an elastic component and a brake actuator are provided in the housing 1. A guide rod is threadedly connected in the shaft hole 16. A guide hole is provided on the brake seat 81. The guide rod is sleeved in the guide hole to achieve precise sliding fit. An elastic component, which is a compression spring, is sleeved on the guide rod. The elastic component causes the brake 8 to have a tendency to move away from the rotor 3. At the same time, the brake actuator is used to push the brake 8 to move in the direction of the rotor 3 to achieve braking. The brake actuator can be hydraulic or electromagnetic.
[0047] In this embodiment, a sealed cavity is formed between the lower end of the brake 8 and the harmonic reducer 7. The sealed cavity is filled with oil, which can achieve lubrication and cooling.
[0048] In this application, a partition is provided in the sealed cavity, which divides the sealed cavity into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The lower cavity is a low-pressure cavity and the upper cavity is a high-pressure cavity. The side wall of the high-pressure cavity is provided with an oil inlet, which is connected to an oil pump, which can be filled with hydraulic oil and realize the driving of the brake.
