Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of robot joint drive technology, and in particular relates to a joint module that achieves oil cooling through internal oil circulation. Background Technology

[0002] As robots and automated equipment evolve towards higher precision, higher load capacity, and miniaturization, the heat dissipation performance of joint modules, as core drive units, directly impacts operating efficiency and lifespan. Traditional joint modules typically integrate a motor and a reducer (such as a harmonic reducer). However, under high load or prolonged operation, the motor stator, rotor, and reducer can easily generate significant heat. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will lead to excessive temperature rise, causing problems such as magnet demagnetization, lubrication failure, and even equipment jamming or damage.

[0003] Currently, the main heat dissipation solutions for joint modules include the following:

[0004] 1. Natural air cooling and external heat sinks: Heat dissipation is achieved through the surface of the casing or by adding heat sinks to increase the heat dissipation area. However, this method has low heat dissipation efficiency in enclosed or compact spaces and is difficult to meet the needs of high power density modules.

[0005] 2. Forced air cooling: This method uses a fan to force convection, but it increases noise and power consumption. At the same time, external airflow may introduce dust, affecting the reliability of precision components.

[0006] 3. External oil cooling circulation system: Cooling oil is driven by an external oil pump to flow through the internal piping of the module to achieve heat dissipation. Although this solution can improve cooling efficiency, it requires additional oil pumps, oil tanks and complex oil circuits, resulting in increased system size and complex structure, and there is a risk of oil leakage. It is also difficult to adapt to highly integrated joint module designs.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an efficient and lightweight thermal management solution suitable for highly integrated joint modules. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a joint module that achieves oil cooling through internal oil circulation. This module has a compact structure and good heat dissipation effect.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The outer ring of the support bearing is fixed to the rear end cover. A toothed ring is provided on the inner wall of the inner ring of the support bearing. The inner ring of the support bearing is sleeved on the outside of the flexible wheel and drives the flexible wheel with staggered teeth.

The inner ring plate is concentrically arranged inside the outer shell, and the circumferential partition is fixed between the outer shell and the inner ring plate, so that multiple inner oil cavities are formed between the outer shell and the inner ring plate.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the axial length of the inner ring plate is less than the axial length of the outer shell, and gaps are left between the two ends of the inner ring plate and the rear end cover and the bottom plate, respectively, forming multiple first oil ports and second oil ports.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the outer shell is further provided with a supporting step at one end near the bottom plate. The circumferential partition is L-shaped, and one set of adjacent edges is fixed to the supporting step and the inner wall of the outer shell, respectively, while another set of adjacent edges is fixed to the inner ring plate.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting piece between the inner shell and the outer shell is a spiral strip.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the rear end cover is a torque sensor, and the torque sensor is also provided with an oil passage hole that connects to the motor cavity and the harmonic reducer cavity.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, the base plate is also provided with a through hole, the rotating shaft passes through the through hole, and an oil seal is provided between the rotating shaft and the through hole.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the device also includes a T-shaped wire harness fitting, which includes a connecting disc and an intermediate tube. The connecting disc is fixed to one end of the intermediate tube and communicates through it. The connecting disc is fixed to the inner ring of the support bearing. The intermediate tube passes through the harmonic reducer and the hollow shaft, and a gap is left between it and the harmonic reducer and the hollow shaft. The two ends of the intermediate tube are rotatably connected to the wave generator and the hollow shaft, respectively, through two support members.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, a cover is also fixed on the base plate, and a control circuit board is also provided in the mounting cavity formed by the base plate and the cover.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the end of the rotating shaft near the control circuit board is also provided with a positioning ring, and a sleeve is provided on one side of the magnetic ring seat A.

The bowl-shaped sealing sleeve abuts against the intermediate tube.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] This invention integrates the outer shell and inner oil cavity, embedding the cooling oil circuit directly into the motor housing. This avoids external oil circuits occupying space and significantly reduces the module size. Furthermore, the inner oil cavity surrounds the stator assembly, allowing the oil to directly contact the stator heat source, improving stator heat dissipation efficiency. Simultaneously, the rotor hub features an oil agitation channel that utilizes the centrifugal force of the rotating rotor to drive oil flow, eliminating the need for an external oil pump, reducing system complexity and energy consumption; it also enhances oil agitation, improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a joint module for oil cooling through internal oil circulation includes a motor and a harmonic reducer. The motor includes a housing, a stator assembly 13, and a rotor assembly. A base plate 17 and a rear end cover 4 are respectively provided at both ends of the housing. The housing includes an outer housing 11 and an inner oil cavity 12 disposed inside the outer housing 11. A first oil port 121 and a second oil port 122 are formed at both ends of the inner oil cavity 12. The stator assembly 13 is fixed inside the inner oil cavity 12. The specific structure of the inner oil cavity is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the inner oil cavity 12 is composed of an outer shell 11, an inner ring plate 120 and a circumferential partition 123. The inner ring plate 120 is concentrically arranged inside the outer shell 11, and the circumferential partition 123 is fixed between the outer shell 11 and the inner ring plate 120, so that multiple inner oil cavities 12 are formed between the outer shell 11 and the inner ring plate 120.

[0041] The above structure divides the space between the outer shell 11 and the inner ring plate 120 into multiple independent inner oil chambers 12 through the circumferential partition 123, forming parallel oil circuits to avoid oil short circuits and ensure uniform heat dissipation of the stator circumferentially.

[0042] The rotor assembly is housed within the stator assembly 13, and is rotatably connected to one end of the base plate 17, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotor assembly includes a rotating shaft 14 and a rotor hub disposed on the rotating shaft 14. The rotor hub includes an inner shell 151 and an outer shell 152 arranged concentrically. The inner shell 151 and the outer shell 152 are fixed together by a connecting piece 153. The connecting piece 153 between the inner shell 151 and the outer shell 152 is a spiral strip, so that an oil stirring channel 154 is formed between the inner shell 151 and the outer shell 152. An annular magnet 16 that cooperates with the stator assembly is also fixed on the outer wall of the rotor hub.

[0043] The aforementioned spiral connecting plate 153 converts the tangential motion of the rotor rotation into the axial flow of the oil, forming a vortex-shaped oil flow, which prolongs the residence time of the oil in the oil stirring channel 154, enhances the oil stirring efficiency, and improves the heat dissipation effect; at the same time, the spiral structure reduces the impact loss between the oil and the connecting plate, and reduces the rotor rotation load.

[0044] The rotating shaft 14 is also provided with a limiting ring 141, and a bearing A18 is fixed on the rotating shaft 14. The bearing A18 and the rotor hub abut against the two sides of the limiting ring 141 respectively. The base plate 17 is also provided with a raised ring 171, and the outer ring of the bearing A18 is interference-fitted with the raised ring 171. The base plate 17 is also provided with a through hole, through which the rotating shaft 14 passes. An oil seal 231 is also provided between the rotating shaft 14 and the through hole. The above structure strengthens the axial seal and prevents oil from leaking axially along the rotating shaft to the outside or entering the motor control cavity.

[0045] As a further preferred embodiment, the axial length of the inner ring plate 120 is less than the axial length of the outer shell 11, and gaps are left between the two ends of the inner ring plate 120 and the rear end cover 4 and the bottom plate 17, respectively, forming multiple first oil ports 121 and second oil ports 122. The above structure utilizes the pressure difference generated by the rotor rotation to achieve active flow of oil in the axial and radial directions, thereby enhancing circulation efficiency.

[0046] The outer shell 11 is further provided with a support step 110 at one end near the bottom plate 17. The circumferential partition 123 is L-shaped, with one set of adjacent edges fixed to the support step 110 and the inner wall of the outer shell 11, and another set of adjacent edges fixed to the inner ring plate 120. In the above structure, the L-shaped circumferential partition 123 is fixed by the support step 110, which not only shares the force on the shell, but also prevents the oil cavity from failing to seal due to vibration deformation; at the same time, it reduces the risk of oil leakage.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the harmonic reducer includes a wave generator, a flexible wheel 35, an outer ring 31 of a support bearing, and an inner ring 32 of a support bearing. The wave generator includes an elliptical hub 33 and a flexible bearing 34. One end of the rotating shaft 14 passes through the rear end cover 4 and is fixedly connected to the elliptical hub 33. The elliptical hub 33 is disposed inside the flexible wheel 35 through the flexible bearing 34. The elliptical hub 33 rotates together with the rotating shaft 14 and drives the flexible wheel 35 to deform. The flexible wheel 35 is fixed to the rear end cover 4. The outer ring 31 of the support bearing is fixed to the rear end cover 4. A toothed ring is provided on the inner wall of the inner ring 32 of the support bearing. The inner ring 32 of the support bearing is sleeved on the outside of the flexible wheel 35 and drives the flexible wheel 35 with staggered teeth. Sealing rings 311 are provided between the outer ring 31, the inner ring 32, and the rear end cover 4. In the above harmonic reducer structure, the steel wheel is integrated on the inner ring of the support bearing, making the structure more compact, reducing the number of parts connected, and reducing the risk of oil leakage.

[0048] The rear end cover 4 is also provided with an oil passage hole 41 connecting the motor cavity and the harmonic reducer cavity. The sealing ring 311 between the rear end cover 4 and the outer ring 31 of the support bearing is located outside the oil passage hole 41. The above structure realizes integrated cooling of the motor and the harmonic reducer: oil flows into the harmonic reducer cavity through the oil passage hole 41 of the rear end cover 4, realizing seamless connection of the oil circuit between the motor and the reducer, and synchronously cooling the gear meshing area of ​​the reducer.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment, the rear end cover 4 can be replaced with a torque sensor. Similarly, this torque sensor also has an oil passage hole 41 connecting the motor cavity and the harmonic reducer cavity. The sealing ring 311 between the torque sensor and the outer ring 31 of the support bearing is located outside the oil passage hole 41. The sealing ring 311 is located outside the oil passage hole 41, isolating the reducer from the external environment and preventing oil leakage or contaminant intrusion.

[0050] The harmonic reducer of the present invention also includes a T-shaped wire harness tube, which includes a connecting disc 51 and an intermediate tube 52. The connecting disc 51 is fixed to one end of the intermediate tube 52 and communicates through it. The connecting disc 51 is fixed to the inner ring 32 of the support bearing, and a sealing ring is provided between the connecting disc 51 and the inner ring 32 of the support bearing. The intermediate tube 52 passes through the harmonic reducer and the hollow rotating shaft 14, and a gap is left between it and the harmonic reducer and the hollow shaft body 221. One end of the intermediate tube 52 is rotatably connected to the wave generator through a bearing B53, and the other end is supported by a bearing bush 54 on the inner wall of the hollow rotating shaft 14.

[0051] The above structure centrally runs the motor control wiring harness through the tube, avoiding short circuits or signal interference caused by contact between the wiring harness and the oil. At the same time, the two ends of the intermediate tube 52 are rotatably connected to the wave generator and the rotating shaft 14 through the support members, which improves the support stability and avoids the impact of tube vibration on the detection accuracy.

[0052] A cover 21 is also fixed on the base plate 17, and a control circuit board 22 is also provided in the mounting cavity formed by the base plate 17 and the cover 21. A magnetic ring seat A23 is also fixed at one end of the rotating shaft 14 near the control circuit board 22. A magnetic ring A24 is fixed on the magnetic ring seat A23. One end of the intermediate tube 52 also extends into the mounting cavity, and a magnetic ring seat B27 is fixed at the end of the intermediate tube 52. A magnetic ring B26 is fixed on the magnetic ring seat B27. The magnetic ring B26 and the magnetic ring A24 are concentrically arranged.

[0053] The aforementioned structure employs non-contact position detection, using magnetic signals to detect the relative position of the rotating shaft and the wiring harness components, achieving high-precision speed or angle feedback. Furthermore, the concentric arrangement of magnetic rings A24 and B26 within the same plane helps reduce the module's axial length.

[0054] The rotating shaft 14 is also provided with a positioning ring 142 at one end near the control circuit board 22. A retaining sleeve 232 is provided on one side of the magnetic ring seat A23. A pressure ring 233 is provided at the connection between the retaining sleeve 232 and the magnetic ring seat A23. The retaining sleeve 232 and the positioning ring 142 are press-fitted, and a bowl-shaped sealing sleeve 25 is sandwiched between the pressure ring 233 and the end of the positioning ring 142. The bowl-shaped sealing sleeve 25 abuts against the intermediate tube 52. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown.

[0055] Since the joint module of this application contains coolant, in order to prevent oil leakage, a sealing redundancy structure is further designed. The cup-shaped sealing sleeve 25 cooperates with the pressure ring 233, and on the basis of the interference connection between the sleeve 232 and the positioning ring 142, it further prevents oil from seeping into the control circuit cavity.

[0056] This invention employs a combined sealing and oil circuit design to achieve closed-loop oil circulation within a compact space, balancing heat dissipation and leak prevention. This invention solves the problems of structural redundancy, uneven heat dissipation, and insufficient reliability in traditional cooling solutions, providing a highly efficient and lightweight thermal management solution for high-power-density joint modules.
