[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment provides an integrated joint 100, including a motor 110, a cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120, a feedback shaft 121, a first encoder, a second encoder and a driver 130, wherein: the driver 130 is electrically connected to the motor 110 to drive the motor 110 to rotate; the feedback shaft 121 is fixedly connected to the cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120 and rotates synchronously with the output end of the cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120; the first encoder includes a first magnetic ring 140, the first magnetic ring 140 is arranged on the motor 110, and the driver 130 is provided with a first identification chip corresponding to the first magnetic ring 140 to measure the rotation angle of the motor 110; the second encoder includes a second magnetic ring 150, the second magnetic ring 150 is arranged on the feedback shaft 121, and the driver 130 is provided with a second identification chip corresponding to the second magnetic ring 150 to measure the output end rotation angle of the cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120; the first magnetic ring 140 and the second magnetic ring 150 are coaxially nested.
[0036] Specifically, the motor 110 may be an inner rotor frameless torque motor or an outer rotor frameless torque motor. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 is embedded in the motor 110. By embedding the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 in the motor 110, the axial dimension of the integrated joint 100 is the axial dimension of the motor 110, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor 110 is not affected.
[0037] The first encoder includes a first magnetic ring 140 , and the second encoder includes a second magnetic ring 150 . Correspondingly, the driver 130 is provided with a first identification chip corresponding to the position of the first magnetic ring 140 , and a second identification chip corresponding to the position of the second magnetic ring 150 .
[0038] Among them, the first magnetic ring 140 is arranged on the motor 110, and the motor 110 includes a stator 111 and a rotor 112 rotating relative to the stator 111. The first magnetic ring 140 is specifically arranged on the rotor 112 of the motor 110. When the rotor 112 rotates relative to the stator 111, the first magnetic ring 140 rotates relative to the first identification chip. The first identification chip can identify the rotation of the first magnetic ring 140 to measure the rotation angle of the motor 110.
[0039] The second magnetic ring 150 is arranged on the feedback shaft 121. The feedback shaft 121 is arranged inside the cycloid reducer 120 and extends toward one side of the driver 130. The cycloid reducer 120 is fixedly connected to the feedback shaft 121. When the driver 130 drives the motor 110 to rotate, the cycloid reducer 120 can be driven to rotate. At this time, the feedback shaft 121 drives the second magnetic ring 150 to rotate relative to the second identification chip. The second identification chip can identify the rotation of the second magnetic ring 150 to measure the output end rotation angle of the cycloid reducer 120.
[0040] The setting of the feedback shaft 121 can not only ensure the stable setting of the second magnetic ring 150, but also ensure that the rotation process of the second magnetic ring 150 is not interfered by the rotation of the motor 110, thereby ensuring the precision and accuracy of the measurement results of the output end angle of the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120.
[0041] The first magnetic ring 140 and the second magnetic ring 150 are coaxial and nested in the same plane. Figure 3 As shown, the inner diameter of the first magnetic ring 140 is greater than the outer diameter of the second magnetic ring 150 , and the first magnetic ring 140 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second magnetic ring 150 , and the two are located in the same horizontal plane.
[0042] By arranging the first magnetic ring 140 and the second magnetic ring 150 coaxially and nested in the same horizontal plane, the axial dimension of the integrated joint 100 is reduced and the load capacity of the joint is improved; at the same time, arranging the first identification chip and the second identification chip on the driver 130 further improves the integration of the joint.
[0043] like Figure 3As shown, the driver 130 includes a support plate 131 and a PCB board 132. The support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the joint housing 160, and the PCB board 132 is arranged in the middle of the support plate 131; the first identification chip and the second identification chip are arranged on the PCB board 132. By arranging the support plate 131 and the PCB board 132, not only the axial size of the integrated joint 100 is reduced, but also the first identification chip and the second identification chip can be integrated, further improving the integration of the integrated joint 100.
[0044] It should be noted that, in an implementable embodiment of the present application, the first encoder and the second encoder are absolute encoders; or, the first encoder is an incremental encoder, and the second encoder is an absolute encoder.
[0045] The integrated joint 100 provided in the present application can improve the output load and transmission accuracy and increase the impact resistance through the setting of the cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120. At the same time, the cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120 is embedded in the interior of the motor 110, and the first magnetic ring 140 and the second magnetic ring 150 are coaxially nested, which can effectively reduce the axial size of the joint and improve the space utilization and integration.
[0046] In one possible implementation of the present application, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the motor 110 includes a stator 111 and a rotor 112, the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 is embedded in the stator 111, and the rotor 112 is sleeved on the outside of the stator 111 and can rotate around the stator 111; an adapter 1121 is provided on the side of the rotor 112 facing the driver 130, and the first magnetic ring 140 is arranged on the adapter 1121 to correspond to the first identification chip to realize the angle measurement of the motor 110.
[0047] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the integrated joint 100 provided in the present application adopts an external rotor motor, that is, the rotor 112 is sleeved on the outside of the stator 111; an adapter 1121 is provided on the side of the rotor 112 facing the driver 130, and the adapter 1121 can rotate with the rotor 112; the first magnetic ring 140 is provided on the adapter 1121 to correspond to the first identification chip. When the rotor 112 rotates relative to the stator 111, it can drive the adapter 1121 to rotate relative to the driver 130, and then drive the first magnetic ring 140 to rotate relative to the first identification chip. The first identification chip can identify the rotation of the first magnetic ring 140 to measure the rotation angle of the motor 110.
[0048] In another possible implementation of the present application, the motor 110 includes a stator 111 and a rotor 112, the cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120 is embedded in the rotor 112, and the rotor 112 is embedded in the stator 111 and can rotate around the stator 111 (not shown in the figure); an adapter 1121 is provided on the side of the rotor 112 facing the driver 130, and the first magnetic ring 140 is arranged on the adapter 1121 to correspond to the first identification chip to realize the angle measurement of the motor 110.
[0049] Specifically, the integrated joint 100 provided in the present application adopts an inner rotor motor, that is, the rotor 112 is embedded in the inside of the stator 111; an adapter 1121 is provided on the side of the rotor 112 facing the driver 130, and the adapter 1121 can rotate with the rotor 112; the first magnetic ring 140 is provided on the adapter 1121 to correspond to the first identification chip. When the rotor 112 rotates relative to the stator 111, it can drive the adapter 1121 to rotate relative to the driver 130, and then drive the first magnetic ring 140 to rotate relative to the first identification chip. The first identification chip can identify the rotation of the first magnetic ring 140 to measure the rotation angle of the motor 110.
[0050] It should be noted that a motor bearing 113 is also provided on the side of the rotor 112 facing the driver 130. The motor bearing 113 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the adapter 1121 of the rotor 112. The setting of the motor bearing 113 can play a role in auxiliary support of the rotor 112 of the motor 110 to ensure the smooth rotation of the rotor 112 of the motor 110.
[0051] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120 includes a shell 129 and a central shaft 122 passing through the inside of the shell 129, and the first cycloidal pinwheel assembly 123 and the second cycloidal pinwheel assembly 124 which are respectively passed through the two sides of the central shaft 122 and are transmission-connected and arranged with a phase difference of 180°, and the first cycloidal pinwheel assembly 123 and the second cycloidal pinwheel assembly 124 are arranged in the shell 129; the feedback shaft 121 passes through the inside of the central shaft 122 and is concentrically arranged with the central shaft 122, and the second magnetic ring 150 is arranged at one end of the feedback shaft 121 close to the driver 130.
[0052] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 includes a housing 129, a central shaft 122 is provided inside the housing 129, a first cycloid pinwheel assembly 123 and a second cycloid pinwheel assembly 124 are provided on the central shaft 122, the first cycloid pinwheel assembly 123 and the second cycloid pinwheel assembly 124 are transmission-connected and arranged with a 180° phase difference, and the housing 129 is provided on the outer wall of the first cycloid pinwheel assembly 123 and the second cycloid pinwheel assembly 124 to protect the first cycloid pinwheel assembly 123 and the second cycloid pinwheel assembly 124. The central shaft 122 is transmission-connected with the rotor 112 of the motor 110, and the central shaft 122 is the input shaft of the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120, and the speed output by the motor 110 can be reduced and output by the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120.
[0053] A through hole is provided inside the center shaft 122 for passing the feedback shaft 121. One end of the feedback shaft 121 extends to one side of the driver 130. The second magnetic ring 150 is arranged at one end of the feedback shaft 121 close to the driver 130. When the feedback shaft 121 rotates, the second magnetic ring 150 rotates relative to the second identification chip on the driver 130, thereby measuring the output angle of the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120.
[0054] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, a support bearing 1211 is also sleeved on the feedback shaft 121, and the feedback shaft 121 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support bearing 1211. The feedback shaft 121 can rotate under the support of the support bearing 1211 to reduce the vibration of the feedback shaft 121 and improve the measurement accuracy of the output angle of the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120.
[0055] By disposing the first cycloid pinwheel assembly 123 and the second cycloid pinwheel assembly 124, the vibration of the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 can be reduced, making the working process of the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 more stable and reliable.
[0056] In one possible implementation of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the first cycloidal pinwheel assembly 123 includes a first cycloidal wheel disc 1231, and the second cycloidal pinwheel assembly 124 includes a second cycloidal wheel disc 1241, and the first cycloidal wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel disc 1241 are arranged with a phase difference of 180°; the cycloidal pinwheel reducer 120 also includes a pinwheel 125, and the two ends of the pinwheel 125 are respectively arranged on the outer walls of the first cycloidal wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel disc 1241, and the outer walls of the first cycloidal wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel disc 1241 are evenly distributed with multiple pinwheels 125; the outer wall of the pinwheel 125 is provided with a pin gear housing 126, and the pinwheel 125 can be attached to the inner wall of the pin gear housing 126 and rotate relative to the pin gear housing 126.
[0057] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, the first cycloidal pinwheel assembly 123 includes a first cycloidal wheel disc 1231, and the second cycloidal pinwheel assembly 124 includes a second cycloidal wheel disc 1241. The first cycloidal wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel disc 1241 are completely identical and are arranged with a phase difference of 180 degrees, forming a coaxial eccentric structure. The outer walls of the first cycloidal wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel disc 1241 are evenly distributed with a plurality of pinwheels 125, and the pinwheels 125 extend along the arrangement direction of the first cycloidal wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel disc 1241, and the two sides thereof are respectively in contact with the outer walls of the first cycloidal wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel disc 1241, and the pinwheels 125 can rotate relative to the first cycloidal wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel disc 1241.
[0058] For example, the pin wheel 125 is cylindrical, and the inner wall of the pin gear housing 126 is provided with a plurality of grooves. The setting direction of the pin wheel 125 is in the same direction as the extending direction of the grooves, so that the pin wheel 125 can be attached to the grooves and rotate relative to the grooves.
[0059] When the central shaft 122 rotates, the first cycloidal wheel 1231 and the second cycloidal wheel 1241 move eccentrically, and the pin wheel 125 can rotate under the meshing limit of the groove due to being attached to the inner wall of the pin gear housing 126, and rotate at a low speed while moving eccentrically, thereby achieving the purpose of deceleration.
[0060] It should be noted that, first, since the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 is a multi-tooth meshing of the pinwheel 125 and the inner wall of the pinwheel housing 126, the driving load is large, and the sizes of the first cycloid wheel disc 1231, the second cycloid wheel disc 1241 and the pinwheel 125 are relatively large, so the impact resistance is strong;
[0061] Second, the meshing structures of the first cycloid wheel 1231, the second cycloid wheel 1241 and the pinwheel 125 are all rolling friction to a certain extent, with less slippage, so the overall efficiency of the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 is relatively high.
[0062] Furthermore, the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 also includes a hole pin output assembly 127, which includes a first output flange 1271, a second output flange 1272, a pin 1273 and a pin sleeve 1274; the first cycloid wheel 1231 and the second cycloid wheel 1241 are provided with a plurality of coaxially arranged connecting holes, and the pin 1273 passes through the connecting holes to sequentially penetrate the first cycloid wheel 1231 and the second cycloid wheel 1241; the pin sleeve 1274 is arranged on the outer wall of the pin 1273, and the pin sleeve 1274 can rotate relative to the pin 1273; the two ends of the pin 1273 are respectively fixedly connected to the first output flange 1271 and the second output flange 1272; the ends of the central shaft 122 are respectively transmission-connected to the first output flange 1271 and the second output flange 1272; the outer wall of the first output flange 1271 is provided with a first output bearing 1232, and the outer wall of the second output flange 1272 is provided with a second output bearing 1242.
[0063] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the cycloid pinwheel reducer 120 also includes a hole pin output assembly 127, and the hole pin output assembly 127 includes a first output flange 1271, a second output flange 1272, a pin 1273 and a pin sleeve 1274, wherein the first output flange 1271 and the second output flange 1272 are sleeved on both sides of the central axis 122, and are located on the side where the first cycloid wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloid wheel disc 1241 are away from each other, and the first cycloid wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloid wheel disc 1241 are arranged between the first output flange 1271 and the second output flange 1272.
[0064] The first cycloid wheel 1231 and the second cycloid wheel 1241 are provided with a plurality of coaxially arranged connection holes, and the pin 1273 passes through the connection holes and sequentially penetrates the first cycloid wheel 1231 and the second cycloid wheel 1241 to achieve fixed connection between the pin 1273 and the first output flange 1271 and the second output flange 1272. Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the pin 1273 is provided with a pin sleeve 1274, and the main function of the pin sleeve 1274 is to adjust the gap between the connecting hole and the pin 1273, while reducing friction and wear.
[0065] When the central shaft 122 rotates one circle, the movement of the first cycloid pinwheel assembly 123 and the second cycloid pinwheel assembly 124 becomes both eccentric movement and rotation with the central shaft 122 as the rotation center. When the central shaft 122 rotates one circle forward, the first cycloid wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloid wheel disc 1241 rotate in opposite directions along the inner wall of the pin gear housing 126 through a groove, thereby reducing speed; and then the low-speed rotation of the first cycloid wheel disc 1231 and the second cycloid wheel disc 1241 is transmitted to the first output flange 1271 and the second output flange 1272 through the hole pin output assembly 127, thereby obtaining a lower output speed.
[0066] For example, the outer wall of the central axis 122 is sleeved with a first swing arm bearing 1221 and a second swing arm bearing 1222 arranged with a phase difference of 180°, the first cycloid wheel 1231 is sleeved on the outer wall of the first swing arm bearing 1221, and the second cycloid wheel 1241 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second swing arm bearing 1222.

The central shaft 122 is rotatable under the support of the first input bearing 1223 and the second input bearing 1224; the central shaft 122 is transmission-connected to the first output flange 1271 through the first input bearing 1223; and the central shaft 122 is transmission-connected to the second output flange 1272 through the second input bearing 1224. Specifically, as Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the center shaft 122 are supported by the first input bearing 1223 and the second input bearing 1224, so that the middle part is an eccentric structure to ensure the eccentric movement of the first cycloidal pinwheel assembly 123 and the second cycloidal pinwheel assembly 124; the first input bearing 1223 and the second input bearing 1224 can support the rotation of the center shaft 122, reduce the friction coefficient of the center shaft 122 during movement, and ensure the rotation accuracy.
