Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of robot joints, and in particular relates to a quasi-direct drive joint of a reverse mounted frameless torque motor combined with an embedded speed reduction mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the driving joint technology for robots has attracted much attention against the background of the booming development of robotics technology. At present, there are two major types of driving joints for robots: direct-drive joints and quasi-direct-drive joints. Direct-drive joints refer to joints in which the load is directly driven by the motor, without the intermediate transmission link of the reducer, and the load is directly connected to the motor rotor. The characteristic of this direct-drive joint is its simple structure, but its disadvantages are also obvious. There is no intermediate reduction mechanism to amplify its output torque. Its output torque is generally small, and its load capacity is insufficient. It cannot be used in robot joints that require high torque. Secondly, the direct-drive joint will generate a lot of heat during its working process, which is difficult to dissipate. Therefore, the application scenarios of direct-drive joints are limited. Direct-drive joints cannot be used in situations that require high torque, large loads or complex motion control.

[0003] In order to solve the shortcomings of direct-drive joints, such as low output torque, high heat generation, and large volume and weight, quasi-direct-drive joint technology was applied. The quasi-direct-drive joint is a joint that adds a reducer between the motor and the joint. The advantage of this design is that the output torque of the motor can be amplified by the reducer, so that the motor can be made smaller and lighter. As a structural form of quasi-direct-drive joints, planetary reduction quasi-direct-drive joints have the advantages of high transmission efficiency, large bearing torque, good impact resistance and vibration resistance, and stable operation, so they are more commonly used. However, the existing planetary reduction quasi-direct-drive joints have the following defects: First, the use of a positive-mounted frameless torque motor, because the magnetic rotor assembly is made inside the coil, the size is small, the number of magnets distributed is small, the induced force is small, the motor output torque is small, and the final output torque of the joint after deceleration and torque increase by the reduction mechanism is also small, which does not meet the requirements of the system. Second, the design structure of the reduction mechanism connected to the back of the motor makes the axial dimension of the joint too long, and the joint of the robot with such a structure is large and inflexible.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention comprises a main housing 1, a rear housing 15 arranged at the rear end of the main housing 1, a reverse mounted frameless torque motor and a planetary reducer arranged in the main housing 1, a U-shaped adapter 13 is arranged in the main housing 1, and the U-shaped adapter 13 divides the inner cavity of the main housing 1 into an inner cavity and an outer cavity, the reverse mounted frameless torque motor is arranged in the outer cavity, and the planetary reducer is arranged in the inner cavity;

[0039] The reverse mounted frameless torque motor comprises a ring-shaped coil 2 arranged on the outer periphery of a U-shaped adapter 13 and a magnetic rotor assembly 3 arranged on the outer periphery of the coil 2 and adapted to the coil 2, wherein the magnetic rotor assembly 3 is bowl-shaped and covers the outer side of the coil 2;

[0040] The planetary reducer comprises a sun gear 7, a plurality of planetary gears 8 meshing with the sun gear 7, an inner gear ring 11 installed in a U-shaped adapter 13 and meshing with the plurality of planetary gears 8, and a planet carrier 10 coaxially arranged with the sun gear 7 and rotatably installed in the U-shaped adapter 13, the planetary gears 8 are connected to the planet carrier 10 through planetary shafts 9, a center hole is arranged at the center of the U-shaped adapter 13, the rear end of the wheel axle of the sun gear 7 passes through the center hole and the magnetic rotor assembly 3 in sequence, the sun gear 7 rotates synchronously with the magnetic rotor assembly 3, and an output disk 12 is connected to the side of the planet carrier 10 away from the rear housing 15;

[0041] A power board 4 and a control board 5 are installed in the rear housing 15 from front to back. The control board 5 and the power board 4 are isolated by an insulating column 17. An encoder coupling shaft 14 connected to the magnetic rotor assembly 3 is arranged at the center of the control board 5, and an encoder 6 is arranged on the encoder coupling shaft 14.

[0042] In a specific implementation, the coil 2 is fixed on the outer wall of the U-shaped adapter 13, and an interference fit is adopted between the inner gear ring 11 and the U-shaped adapter 13, so that the inner gear ring 11 is fixed and does not move.

[0043] In specific implementation, the planetary reducer is an NGW type planetary reducer, the planetary shafts 9 are evenly installed on the planetary carrier 10, and multiple planetary gears 8 are meshed with both the sun gear 7 and the inner ring 11. The inner ring 11 is fixed in the U-shaped adapter 13. When the magnetic rotor assembly 3 of the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor rotates to drive the sun gear 7 to rotate, the planetary gears 8 meshed with the sun gear 7 rotate, and then drive the planetary carrier 10 to rotate to output torque; the output rotation direction of the planetary carrier 10 is the same as the input rotation direction of the sun gear 7.

[0044] During specific implementation, the power board 4 contacts the front side wall of the rear shell 15, and heat dissipation silicone grease is applied between the contact surface of the power board 4 and the front side wall of the rear shell 15 to facilitate heat dissipation of the power board 4. The control board 5 is located on the rear side of the power board 4, and the power board 4 and the control board 5 are isolated by an insulating column 17 to avoid short circuit.

[0045] In a specific implementation, a hole is provided on the power board 4 for the encoder connecting shaft 14 to pass through.

[0046] In actual use, by designing the coil 2 of the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor into a ring structure, and designing the magnetic rotor assembly 3 into a bowl-shaped structure and covering the outside of the coil 2, the hollow part of the coil 2 can provide sufficient space for the planetary reducer, which can make the quasi-direct drive joint structure more compact, occupying very little space, and more conducive to the performance of the motor. The control accuracy is extremely high, and high-strength, high-speed, and high-precision positioning can be achieved.

[0047] In particular, the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor is characterized by improved output torque of the motor, because under the same size and copper wire filling factor of the coil, the smaller size of the positive-mounted (installed inside the hollow coil) magnetic rotor assembly is enlarged, wrapped on the outer circumference of the coil, and more magnets are added, so that the electromagnetic induction generates a stronger magnetic force due to the increase in magnets, and the torque output of the motor is increased. That is, the "reverse-mounted frameless torque motor" has a greater output torque than the conventional frameless torque motor of the same volume.

[0048] In addition, the inner cavity of the main shell 1 is divided into an inner cavity and an outer cavity by a U-shaped adapter 13, the planetary reducer is embedded in the inner cavity of the U-shaped adapter 13, and the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor is arranged in the outer cavity, so that the quasi-direct drive joint structure is more compact and the motor and the planetary reducer can be separated, thereby realizing the modular design of the quasi-direct drive joint, with good interchangeability of parts and components, and facilitating serial production of products.

[0049] In particular, the embedded design of the planetary reducer saves space and facilitates the direct connection between the magnetic rotor assembly of the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor and the sun gear, with no loss in torque transmission, making the quasi-direct drive joint more efficient.

[0050] In particular, the coil of the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor is combined with the inner gear ring 11 of the planetary reducer as a whole and embedded in the hollow internal position of the coil 2, and the magnetic rotor assembly 3 of the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor is combined with the sun gear 7 at the input end of the planetary reducer to provide input torque and speed for the planetary reducer. After the planetary reducer runs, the larger torque and appropriate speed required by the rear section of the joint are obtained. The advantage of adopting such an embedded structural design is that the planetary reducer is embedded in the hollow internal position of the coil 2. Compared with the conventional structure of the planetary reduction quasi-direct drive joint that sets the planetary reducer at the rear end of the motor, the planetary reduction quasi-direct drive joint of this embedded design greatly compresses the axial size and volume of the quasi-direct drive joint, and can provide an ideal solution for the miniaturization of the forearm, elbow, and wrist joints of small humanoid robots and quadruped robots.

[0051] In actual use, the magnetic rotor assembly 3 of the reverse mounted frameless torque motor adopts a unique structure of a coreless rotor and an air-core coil. Compared with traditional DC motors, it has significant advantages such as energy saving and high efficiency, sensitive control, small speed fluctuation, and light weight. The coreless design of the motor eliminates eddy current loss and improves the efficiency of the motor, far exceeding the efficiency of ordinary iron core motors; the reverse mounted frameless torque motor starts and brakes quickly, responds quickly, and the mechanical response time is less than 28 to 10 milliseconds. The ability to adjust the rotation is particularly sensitive, and the control accuracy is extremely high, which can achieve high-intensity, high-speed, and high-precision positioning; the operation is stable, and the speed fluctuation is small, and its speed fluctuation can be controlled within 2% to 1%; the reverse mounted frameless torque motor has lightweight characteristics. Under the same power, its weight is lighter, the volume is smaller, and the energy density is significantly improved.

[0052] In actual use, by setting a rear shell 15 at the rear end of the main shell 1, and setting the power board 4, the control board 5 and the encoder 6 in the rear shell 15, the electronic control part of the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor can be independently designed in the rear shell 15 of the quasi-direct drive joint, and isolated from the planetary reducer in the main shell 1. The oil in the planetary reducer does not affect the electronic control part of the reverse-mounted frameless torque motor, which is beneficial to reducing the failure rate of the quasi-direct drive joint and improving the service life.

[0057] In this embodiment, the output disk 12 is provided with a plurality of planetary shaft through holes for the planetary shaft 9 to pass through, and the front end of the planetary shaft 9 passes through the planetary shaft through holes on the planetary carrier 10 and the output disk 12 in sequence and then extends to the front end of the output disk 12 .
