Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of robots, and in particular to a permanent magnet motor for robots. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, industrial automation and service robots, robots have higher requirements for the response speed, control accuracy and compactness of the driving system. Permanent magnet motors have been widely used in various robot driving devices, especially in torque servo systems and high-precision motion control occasions, due to their high power density, high efficiency and compact structure. Compared with traditional induction motors, permanent magnet motors do not need excitation devices, reduce energy loss, improve system response speed and control stability, and have become one of the preferred driving solutions for robot execution joints or end execution mechanisms.

[0003] The prior art patent CN107070066A discloses a permanent magnet motor for robots, which basically comprises a motor body and a handle. The handle is located on the front surface of the motor body. The surface of the motor body is sleeved with a sleeve ring located on both sides of the handle. The top and bottom of the sleeve ring are fixedly connected with connecting blocks. The front surface of the connecting block is fixedly connected with a connecting rod. The top and bottom of the handle are fixedly connected with fixed sleeves. The two sides inside the fixed sleeve are movably connected with supporting rods. The two ends of the supporting rods extend to the two sides of the fixed sleeve through the fixed sleeve. The connecting block, the connecting rod, the handle, the fixed sleeve, the supporting rod, the supporting block, the fixed block and the threaded groove are arranged, so that the handle can be separated from the motor. The sleeve ring can be quickly removed from the surface of the motor while stably supporting the motor, thereby facilitating the user to disassemble the handle and indirectly improving the efficiency of assembling the robot.

[0004] In actual implementation process, there are still some problems:

[0005] 1. In the application of traditional permanent magnet motors, the size of the air gap between the rotor and the stator directly affects the motor performance. If the air gap deviates due to wear, structural deformation or installation error, it will cause uneven magnetic field, torque fluctuation, and even cause motor overheating, jamming or damage. However, most of the existing permanent magnet motors lack real-time monitoring and active response mechanism for the air gap state, and usually rely on manual inspection or periodic maintenance, which is not only low in efficiency, but also easy to miss early signs of failure, leading to serious consequences. In addition, some existing air gap monitoring devices have the problems of complex structure, large size and poor adaptability, which are difficult to be flexibly deployed in robots with limited size or multiple specifications.

[0006] 2. Under high-load, high-frequency operating conditions, especially in long-term continuous operation scenarios such as industrial robots, permanent magnet motors generate a large amount of heat in their internal core and windings. If heat dissipation is not timely, it will lead to excessive temperature rise, affecting the magnetic properties of the permanent magnets and even shortening the motor's lifespan. Currently, many permanent magnet motors use passive cooling or single air cooling methods, which have low heat dissipation efficiency. Moreover, the heat dissipation structure is exposed to the industrial environment for a long time, making it easy to accumulate dust and oil, further weakening the heat exchange capacity. At the same time, some equipment lacks a cleaning and maintenance design, making it inconvenient for users to clean the heat dissipation components, causing the system's heat dissipation performance to gradually decline.

[0042] Working principle: The fault protection mechanism 2 is used in cooperation with the permanent magnet motor body 1, has the advantages of structure self-adaptation, reliable action, timely response and the like, and is especially suitable for high-precision and high-stability operation scenes. When the permanent magnet motor body 1 runs self-checking, the control main control 203 controls the electric telescopic rod 206 to act, pushes the detection assembly mounting box 208 to be close to the rotor outer wall, makes the air gap detection sheet 209 be close to the stator inner wall and the rotor outer wall, forms a stable detection state, in order to ensure the continuity and coverage of detection, the driving motor 204 drives the transmission gear 201 and the driven gear ring 205 to realize rotation around the rotor, so that the air gap detection sheet 209 dynamically detects the whole air gap area. When the air gap deviation of the permanent magnet motor body 1 is too large or too small during operation, the air gap detection sheet 209 is offset, and then the driving plate 211 drives the alarm trigger plate 212 and the alarm linkage rod 213 to move.

The outer part of the heat conduction cylinder 401 is provided with heat dissipation fins 402, which can realize rapid heat release by increasing the surface area and relying on air convection to improve the heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, the cleaning ring plate 403 connected with the heat conduction cylinder 401 can slide along the heat conduction cylinder 401 during use or maintenance, mechanically clean the inner wall of the heat dissipation fin 402, and prevent dust or oil stains from affecting the heat dissipation performance, so as to realize the functions of heat dissipation and dust prevention at the same time, improve the stability and reliability of the permanent magnet motor body 1, and compared with the traditional software alarm or manual inspection method, the present application can realize real-time feedback through mechanical structure, has the fault protection characteristics of "abnormal response" and "deviation power-off", greatly improves the safety, intelligence and self-adaptability of the servo system, significantly reduces the equipment failure rate and maintenance cost, and is especially suitable for long-term stable operation of precision equipment.
