Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robots, and particularly to a speed reducer for a robot joint. Background Art

[0002] With the aggravation of the global aging problem and the rise of labor costs, industrial robots have gradually replaced the previous manual labor and have good prospects for future development. In various industrial applications, the performance of robot joints has a direct impact on the efficiency and accuracy of the overall robot. As the core component of robot technology, the development of the robot joint drive module has gone through multiple stages, from the early simple mechanical transmission to the modern high-precision and high-integration drive system.

[0003] Most traditional robot joints use permanent magnet synchronous motors and drivers as the power source, and their output torque and speed are designed according to the rated indicators of the joints. However, this design has obvious limitations when facing complex environments and high torque and high-precision requirements, affecting the high-precision operation of the robot.

[0004] In order to meet the high torque and high-precision requirements of modern robots, researchers have begun to integrate the motor with a harmonic reducer or a cycloidal speed reducer. Since the harmonic reducer or the cycloidal speed reducer has a high reduction ratio, it can provide high torque and can meet the high-precision requirements.

[0005] For the convenience of motor control and to achieve high output position accuracy of the speed reducer, an encoder is included on the servo motor side for motor control. An absolute encoder is also installed at the output end of the speed reducer for final angle closed-loop control. In a robot joint, since the two encoders need to be set at the motor end and the speed reducer end respectively, the axial dimension has not been able to be compressed currently. And at the robot joint, the compression of the axial dimension is very crucial for the robot joint. Therefore, further optimization of the design is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The present invention has positive effects: (1) The present invention utilizes the cycloid deceleration principle to have high torque, high rigidity and high precision, so that the robot joint drive module has high torque, high precision and high rigidity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] See Figures 1 to 11, the present invention includes an internal gear housing 1, a high-speed input hollow shaft 2, a first cycloid gear 3, a second cycloid gear 4, a first set of needle rollers 5, a second set of needle rollers 6, a pin shaft 7, an output flange 8, and a low-speed output hollow shaft 81; The high-speed input hollow shaft 2 is provided with a first through hole 21 coaxial therewith; on the circumferential outer wall of the high-speed input hollow shaft 2, a first cam 22 and a second cam 23 are integrally provided; the first set of needle rollers 5 is a plurality of needle rollers closely arranged along the driving profile of the first cam 22, and the axial direction of the needle rollers is the same as the axial direction of the high-speed input hollow shaft 2; the second set of needle rollers 6 is a plurality of needle rollers closely arranged along the driving profile of the second cam 23, and the axial direction of the needle rollers is the same as the axial direction of the high-speed input hollow shaft 2; Both the first cycloid gear 3 and the second cycloid gear 4 are provided with an input hole 31, an outer gear ring 32, and pin shaft holes 33 distributed around the input hole 31; the first cycloid gear 3 is sleeved on the high-speed input hollow shaft 2, and the first cam 22 is located in its input hole 31, and the first set of needle rollers 5 is arranged between the inner wall of the input hole 31 and the driving profile of the first cam 22; the second cycloid gear 4 is sleeved on the high-speed input hollow shaft 2, and the second cam 23 is located in its input hole 31, and the second set of needle rollers 6 is arranged between the inner wall of the input hole 31 and the driving profile of the second cam 23; the outer gear rings 32 of the first cycloid gear 3 and the second cycloid gear 4 form a cycloid meshing with the internal gear ring 111 on the inner wall of the internal gear housing 1 under the driving of the rotation of the high-speed input hollow shaft 2.

Through the grease groove 72 in a spiral state, with the force application method of the first cycloid gear 3 and the second cycloid gear 4 pushing the collar 71, the grease can better participate in lubrication.
