[0027] 3. During joint extension, the output shaft rotates, causing relative rotation between the limiting sleeve and the mounting plate. Excess cables are pressed into the storage slot by the slide bar, shortening the cable length outside the limiting sleeve. During joint folding, when the joint folds, the pressure roller disengages from the anti-detachment rod, and the second elastic element pushes the slide bar to reset, releasing excess cables from the storage slot. This prevents cables from accumulating near the joint or becoming entangled with other cables or the robot structure, causing chaos. Loose cables may swing during joint movement, colliding or interfering with the robot itself or other objects, affecting the robot's normal movement. Cable retraction effectively avoids this problem, making the structure more compact and rational.
[0028] 4. During the process of pushing the cable into and pulling it out of the storage tank, the friction force causes the cable to drive the limit wheel to rotate. The centrifugal force causes the plunger to separate from the oil outlet, and the lubricating oil is discharged from the oil outlet and coated on the outer wall of the cable to further reduce the wear on the cable. When the limit wheel rotates slowly or stops, the elastic force of the tension spring causes the plunger to block the oil outlet to save the amount of lubricating oil used.

[0042] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the technical solution of the present invention can be more easily understood and mastered.
[0043] A reducer for use in robot joints includes an internal gearbox 10, an output shaft 24, an input connection flange 11, and an input shaft. The input shaft is fixed to the inner wall of the input connection flange 11, thus fixing the input shaft to the input connection flange 11.
[0044] A primary sun gear 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the input shaft, extending into the interior of the internal gearbox 10. The primary sun gear 13 is meshed with three first planet gears 17, which are evenly distributed along the axis of the primary sun gear 13. The first planet gears 17 mesh with the internal gear ring of the internal gearbox 10.
[0045] A first needle roller shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first planetary gear 17, and the first needle roller shaft 18 is coaxially arranged with the first planetary gear 17. A first-stage planetary carrier 15 is rotatably connected to the first needle roller shaft 18, and the first-stage planetary carrier 15 is connected to the output shaft 24 through the second-stage reduction assembly 2. The output shaft 24 is located outside the internal gearbox 10.
[0046] A first bearing 14 is connected between the input shaft and the first-stage planetary carrier 15, and a second bearing 16 is connected between the first-stage planetary carrier 15 and the internal gearbox 10. The first bearing 14 is located inside the second bearing 16. Both the first bearing 14 and the second bearing 16 are deep groove ball bearings.
[0047] The secondary reduction gear 2 includes a secondary planetary carrier 21, a secondary sun gear 22, and three second planetary gears 23. The end of the primary planetary carrier 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the secondary sun gear 22, and the primary planetary carrier 15 and the secondary sun gear 22 are coaxially arranged. The teeth of the secondary sun gear 22 mesh with the second planetary gears 23. A second needle roller shaft 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second planetary gears 23, and the secondary planetary carrier 21 is rotatably connected to the second needle roller shaft 25. The second planetary gears 23 mesh with the internal gear ring of the internal gearbox 10. The secondary planetary carrier 21 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 24, and the secondary planetary carrier 21 and the output shaft 24 are coaxially arranged.
[0048] A mounting plate 3 is bolted to the outer wall of the internal gearbox 10. A crossed roller bearing 31 is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting plate 3. An output flange 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the secondary planetary carrier 21, and the output flange 33 is connected to the crossed roller bearing 31. To make the crossed roller bearing 31 more stable, an inner pressure plate 34 is bolted to the output flange 33, and the inner pressure plate 34 is connected to the crossed roller bearing 31. The inner pressure plate 34 is located inside the mounting plate 3.
[0049] An outer pressure plate 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting plate 3. The outer pressure plate 32 is used to abut against the side wall of the crossed roller bearing 31 to completely fix the crossed roller bearing 31. An oil seal is provided between the outer pressure plate 32, the crossed roller bearing 31 and the output flange 33.
[0050] A limiting sleeve 4 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting plate 3, and a cavity exists between the limiting sleeve 4 and the mounting plate 3. A limiting groove 5 for placing the cable 100 is formed on the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 4. The length direction of the limiting groove 5 is parallel to the axial direction of the limiting sleeve 4. The limiting sleeve 4 is connected to the outer wall of the output shaft 24 through a connecting rod 41. During the rotation of the output shaft 24, the limiting sleeve 4 rotates synchronously with the output shaft 24 through the connecting rod 41.
[0051] A sliding groove 51 is formed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 5, near the end of the limiting groove 5. A slider 52 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 51. A cylindrical straight rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 51, and the straight rod is slidably connected to the slider 52 to allow the slider 52 to slide along the length of the sliding groove 51. A support shaft 53 is fixedly connected to the slider 52, and a limiting wheel 55 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 53. An annular groove 56 is formed on the outer circumference of the limiting wheel 55 for contacting the outer wall of the cable 100.
[0052] Heat dissipation grooves are provided on both sides of the slide 51.
[0053] A first elastic element 54 is connected between the slider 52 and the inner wall of the groove 51. The first elastic element 54 is a spring.
[0054] The cable 100 is passed through the limiting sleeve 4 and then along the limiting groove 5 between the two limiting wheels 55. The limiting wheels 55 move towards the sliding groove 51. The cable 100 corresponds to the annular groove 56. The elastic force of the first elastic element 54 causes the outer wall of the cable 100 to abut against the inner wall of the annular groove 56, thereby reducing the wear of the cable 100 in the limiting groove 5, improving the protection of the cable 100, and making it less likely for the cable 100 to come out of the limiting groove 5.
[0055] The end of the limiting groove 5 is fixedly connected to an elastic plate 6 made of rubber. The elastic plate 6 is used to abut against the cable 100 to enhance the protection of the cable 100.
[0056] At robot joints, cables 100 often become excessively long, especially when the joint needs to be folded to the required length. When the joint extends from its folded state, the cables 100, originally designed for the folded length, become too long. Improper handling of this excess cable 100 can lead to several problems: 1. The excessively long cable 100 becomes loose, easily piling up near the joint, or even tangling with other cables 100 or the robot structure, causing chaos. 2. The loose cable 100 may swing during joint movement, colliding with or interfering with the robot itself or other objects, affecting the robot's normal movement.
[0057] Therefore, it is necessary to organize excessively long cables. Cable 100 is a highly flexible cable to prevent it from breaking easily during bending.
[0058] A storage slot 7 for placing the cable 100 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 4. The storage slot 7 is connected to the middle of the limiting slot 5, and both ends of the storage slot 7 are close to the two limiting wheels 55. A baffle 71 is fixedly connected to the side of the storage slot 7 facing the mounting plate 3 to prevent the cable 100 from coming out of the storage slot 7. A sponge layer (not shown in the figure) is fixedly connected to both the inner wall of the storage slot 7 and the inner wall of the baffle 71. The inner wall of the storage slot 7 near the end of the limiting wheel 55 has a protective arc surface to ensure that the bending radius of the cable 100 is greater than the minimum bending radius specified by the cable 100 manufacturer.
[0059] An installation cavity 8 is formed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 5, and the installation cavity 8 is positioned opposite to the storage groove 7, communicating with the storage groove 7 through the limiting groove 5. A slide rod 81 for pushing the cable 100 into the storage groove 7 is slidably connected within the installation cavity 8. A second elastic element 82, which is a spring, is connected between the slide rod 81 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 8. To allow the slide rod 81 to move along its length, a T-shaped rod 83 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 81, with the length direction of the T-shaped rod 83 parallel to the length direction of the slide rod 81. A T-shaped groove is formed on the inner wall of the installation cavity 8, and the T-shaped rod 83 is slidably connected within the T-shaped groove. The end of the slide rod 81 has an arc-shaped groove 811, the inner wall of which is always in contact with the outer wall of the cable 100, maintaining a certain tension in the cable 100.
[0060] The outer wall of the mounting plate 3 is provided with a linkage component 9 for contacting the slide bar 81. The limiting sleeve 4 and the mounting plate 3 rotate relative to each other, and the slide bar 81 moves along its own length direction through the linkage component 9. The slide bar 81 pushes the cable 100, so that the excess cable 100 is located in the storage slot 7.
[0061] The linkage assembly 9 includes a telescopic rod 91, a pressure roller 92, a straight groove 93, an anti-detachment rod 94, a first inclined surface 95, and a second inclined surface 96. The telescopic rod 91 is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting plate 3, and the length direction of the telescopic rod 91 is parallel to the radial direction of the mounting plate 3. The pressure roller 92 is rotatably connected to the end of the telescopic rod 91 away from the mounting plate 3. The telescopic rod 91 includes a sleeve 911, an inner rod 912, and a third elastic element 913. The third elastic element 913 is a spring. The sleeve 911 is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting plate 3, and the inner rod 912 is slidably connected in the sleeve 911. The side wall of the inner rod 912 has a step, and a fixing piece is welded to the end of the sleeve 911 to prevent the inner rod 912 from detaching from the sleeve 911. The inner rod 912 is rotatably connected to the pressure roller 92.
[0062] A straight groove 93 is formed on the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 4, and the straight groove 93 is connected to the storage groove 7 through the mounting cavity 8 and the limiting groove 5. An anti-detachment rod 94 is slidably connected in the straight groove 93. A first inclined surface 95 is formed at the end of the sliding rod 81, and a second inclined surface 96 is formed at the end of the anti-detachment rod 94. The first inclined surface 95 and the second inclined surface 96 are adapted to each other, guiding the sliding rod 81 to slide when the anti-detachment rod 94 moves. The anti-detachment rod 94 is L-shaped and is formed by gluing two parts together. The anti-detachment rod 94 is located within the mounting cavity 8.
[0063] The pressure roller 92 is rolled onto the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 4 or rolled onto the end of the anti-detachment rod 94 away from the second inclined surface 96.
[0064] The end of the anti-slip bar 94 furthest from the second ramp 96 is hemispherical.
[0065] During the robot's joint extension, the limiting sleeve 4 rotates with the output shaft 24, causing relative rotation between the limiting sleeve 4 and the mounting plate 3. This causes the pressure roller 92 to press against the anti-detachment rod 94. The anti-detachment rod 94 moves along the length of the straight groove 93. Guided by the first inclined surface 95 and the second inclined surface 96, the sliding rod 81 moves along its own length, allowing it to traverse the limiting groove 5 and push the cable 100 to move, enabling excess cable 100 to be moved into the storage slot 7. The limit of joint extension is reached when the pressure roller 92 presses against the anti-detachment rod 94.
[0066] During the folding process of the joint, the pressure roller 92 separates from the anti-detachment rod 94. The elastic force of the second elastic element 82 causes the slide rod 81 to quickly return to its original position. The anti-detachment rod 94 is returned to its original position by the guiding action of the first inclined surface 95 and the second inclined surface 96. At this time, the slide rod 81 can no longer apply pressure to the cable 100, so the excess cable 100 can be removed from the limiting sleeve 4.
[0067] The robot's joints have a rotation angle of less than 180 degrees, which means that the output shaft 24 has a rotation angle of less than 180 degrees.
[0068] The side wall of the limiting wheel 55 has an oil reservoir 200 for storing lubricating oil, and the opening of the oil reservoir 200 is fixed by a cover plate 201 with threads. An oil outlet hole 202 communicating with an annular groove 56 is provided on the side wall of the oil reservoir 200. A rubber plunger 203 is provided on the oil outlet hole 202, and the plunger 203 is sealed to the oil outlet hole 202 by a tension spring 206. A T-shaped support rod 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the oil outlet hole 202, and the plunger 203 is slidably connected to the support rod 204. An anti-detachment plate 205 is fixedly connected to the support rod 204 to prevent the plunger 203 from detaching from the support rod 204.
[0069] When the limit wheel 55 rotates, the centrifugal force causes the lubricating oil to be discharged from the oil outlet 202 and then coated on the outer wall of the cable 100.
[0070] Of course, the above are just typical examples of the present invention. In addition, the present invention may have many other specific embodiments. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
