Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of planetary reducers, in particular to a satellite reducer. Background Art

[0002] Satellite reducers are widely used industrial products suitable for various mechanical equipment, including aerospace, wind power, CNC machine tools and automobiles, and are mainly used in robot joints.

[0003] In traditional robot joints, the torque transmission of harmonic reducers is relatively weak, the output torque is small, and the transmission efficiency is low. In order to solve these problems, it is usually necessary to increase the specifications and dimensions, which increases the overall volume of the reducer and increases the kinetic energy loss. In addition, the flexible wheel of the harmonic reducer deforms periodically, generating alternating stress, which is prone to fatigue failure, reducing its service life and working accuracy. In addition, the moment of inertia and starting torque are large, which are not suitable for low-power tracking transmission. The large transmission ratio cannot be used for applications with a transmission ratio of less than 30. Due to the above problems, its application in robot joints is limited.

[0004] The main reason why traditional planetary reducers cannot be applied to robot joints is that the transmission ratio of a single-stage planetary gear is less than or equal to 10. Adding a gear transmission structure will increase the length of the reducer. In addition, the increase in the transmission chain will cause error accumulation, thereby reducing the accuracy of the reducer, which limits its application in robot joints.

[0005] Based on the above reasons, the present invention designs a new type of satellite reducer and its implementation method, which fully utilizes the characteristics of the satellite reducer such as high transmission efficiency, high load-bearing capacity, long service life, stable operation, low noise, small size and light weight, thereby improving the service life of the entire robot. Without increasing the external structure size, it is suitable for more application fields, and has a simple and reliable structure, low and controllable cost, stable and efficient operation. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a new type of satellite reducer and its implementation method, including a sixth axis joint, a fifth axis joint and a fourth axis joint, and its implementation method includes: the cross roller bearing at the front end of the sixth axis transmission group is connected to the customer's terminal actuator, the gear ring is connected to the six-axis box, the sixth axis transmission group is installed on the connecting plate, the six-axis motor transmits power to the satellite reducer input wheel of the sixth axis joint through the synchronous pulley assembly and the bevel gear pair to drive the sixth joint to rotate, the fifth axis transmission group gear ring is fixed on the five-axis box, and the five-axis motor transmits power to the sixth axis through the synchronous pulley assembly. The satellite reducer input wheel 2 of the axle-axle joint drives the fifth joint to rotate, the bearing 3 arranged on the gear ring 2 (and the bracket 2 are connected to the six-axle box, the other end of the connecting plate is fixed to the five-axle box, the sixth joint is clamped between the six-axle box and the connecting plate, and the holes at both ends of the six-axle box are respectively provided with bearing 4 and oil seal 3, so that the sixth axis joint can rotate back and forth freely, and the internal space is closed, the fourth axis joint is provided with a bypass pipe connected to the five-axle box and fixing the inner ring of the second cross roller bearing, the other side of the bypass pipe is connected to the front end face of the satellite reducer, the cage pipe is fixed to the four-axle box The outer ring of the second cross roller bearing, and the other end is connected to the outer front end of the satellite reducer.

[0007] The satellite reducer of the sixth axis joint adopts an integrated design of satellite wheel bracket, planetary wheel bracket and cross roller bearing.

[0008] The power of the sixth axis joint is transmitted to the rotating shaft by the six-axis motor arranged on the connecting plate through the synchronous belt and synchronous pulley, and then transmitted to the input wheel 2 of the shaft through the bevel gear pair, thereby driving the sixth joint to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0009] The satellite reducer of the fifth-axis joint adopts a split design and requires the help of four bearings symmetrically arranged in the holes on both sides of the sixth-axis joint to work properly.

[0010] The bracket 2 of the fifth axis joint is connected and fixed to the six-axis box of the sixth joint, and the gear ring 2 is connected and fixed to the five-axis box of the fifth joint.

[0011] The power of the fifth axis joint is directly transmitted to the input wheel 2 of the axis by the fifth axis motor through the synchronous belt 1 and the synchronous pulley, thereby driving the fifth joint to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0012] The bypass pipe of the fourth axis joint is connected to the five-axis box and fixes the two inner rings of the cross roller bearing. The other side of the bypass pipe is connected to the front end face of the satellite reducer. The cage pipe and the four-axis box fix the two outer rings of the cross roller bearing, and the other end is connected to the outer front end of the satellite reducer.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention solves the problem of insufficient structural rigidity of traditional planetary brackets caused by the large speed ratio and high torque of the satellite reducer by integrating the planetary wheel bracket with the satellite wheel bracket. The load capacity can be increased three times along with the output torque of the satellite wheel without increasing its own volume. The cross roller bearing and the bracket of the sixth joint are arranged as an integrated whole to meet the customers' requirements for high load and high precision.

[0014] Setting the sixth and fifth axes to a synchronous belt drive structure solves the problems of the robot's joints being too large and the force arm's center of gravity deviating too far. It also has the function of matching the speed ratio and also has a buffering protection effect on the motor.

[0015] The connecting parts between the fourth joint and the fifth joint, namely the bypass pipe and the cage pipe, are designed as a combination. The bypass pipe adopts a spiral groove design, and the cage pipe adopts a hollow design, which not only increases the turning radius of the fourth axis, but also maximizes the cable protection space while ensuring the structural strength.

[0016] The overall structure is more compact, reasonable, and small in size, with higher power conversion efficiency and lower cost, which provides assistance for the application of satellite reducers in robot joints. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
