Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robot driving technology, and in particular to an actuator and a robot. Background Art
[0002] The actuator of a robot is usually used in the joint part of the robot to drive the relevant parts of the robot to make corresponding movements. The actuator is usually composed of a driving mechanism, a reduction mechanism and a control unit. The driving mechanism is usually a motor. The motor is the input end, and its output power is transmitted to the output end of the actuator through the reduction mechanism. The reduction mechanism of existing actuators includes three types, namely planetary reduction mechanism, RV reduction mechanism and harmonic reduction mechanism. Among them, the planetary reduction mechanism is widely used in robot actuators due to its relatively mature technology and high stability. Figure 1 As shown, in the existing actuator using a planetary reduction mechanism, the inner gear ring 16 of the planetary reduction mechanism is usually fixed to the inner edge of the stator 12, and the rotor 13 is located on the periphery of the stator 12. The rotor 13 is connected to a rotor bracket 14, and the housing 11 is connected to a mounting bracket 15. A main bearing 17 is installed between the rotor bracket 14 and the mounting bracket 15. The rotor 13 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 11 through the main bearing 17. During the rotation of the rotor 13, the main bearing 17 supports the rotor 13 and the housing 11 in the radial direction. The housing 11 is used as the main positioning member, and the mounting bracket 15, the outer ring of the main bearing 17, the inner ring of the main bearing 17, the rotor bracket 14, and the rotor 13 are sequentially arranged. In this way, there are more assembly relationships in the entire mechanism, the dimensional chain is longer, and the assembly errors of the parts are larger, which leads to poor stability of the rotor 13 during the rotation process, affecting the accuracy of the actuator.
