Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a servo motor and an industrial robot, belonging to the technical field of intelligent driving of servo motors and industrial robots. Background Art
[0002] The core components of industrial robots can be likened to the three major systems of the human body: the servo motor serves as the "power muscle," the speed reducer acts as the "circulatory system," and the controller acts as the "nerve center." The servo motor system forms the foundation of the robot's motion execution, with its precision drive units embedded in the joints of the robotic arm, directly determining the device's kinematic performance. Currently, industrial robot joint actuation relies on servo systems for precise control. As application requirements for smooth operation and positioning accuracy increase, servo motor technical specifications are experiencing exponential growth. These requirements include: instantaneous high output torque to cope with sudden load changes, millisecond-level dynamic response to ensure trajectory tracking accuracy, excellent torque-inertia matching for agile start-stop control, and an ultra-wide speed range to meet operational requirements across a wide range of operating conditions, from low-speed, high-precision to high-speed, high-performance. These technological breakthroughs are supporting the evolution of modern industrial robots towards greater intelligence and dexterity.
[0003] Existing industrial robot servo motors generally have the following problems:
[0004] Fault diagnosis lag: Traditional detection relies on manual inspections or offline testing, which cannot capture hidden faults in dynamic working conditions in real time.
[0005] Parameter configuration error: Core parameters such as the number of motor pole pairs and encoder line count rely on manual calibration, which can easily lead to control inaccuracy due to installation deviations;
[0006] Insufficient environmental adaptability: The lack of dynamic compensation mechanism for environmental factors such as vibration and temperature affects the robot's repeatability.
[0007] Complex structural assembly and disassembly: Traditional connection methods rely on welding or complex bolt fixation, which has high maintenance costs.
[0008] For example, Chinese patent publication number CN115683235A discloses a method and device for detecting vibration faults in industrial robot servo motors. The method includes: simulating and testing vibration faults in servo motors under different operating conditions and different fault causes in simulation and laboratory environments, respectively, to obtain corresponding multi-sensor measurement signals; establishing a SAE neural network model; using the multi-sensor measurement signals obtained in the simulation environment to form a first unlabeled multidimensional signal sample set, and initializing and training the SAE neural network model; using the multi-sensor measurement signals obtained in the laboratory environment to form a second labeled multidimensional signal sample set, and fine-tuning the SAE neural network model; controlling the servo motor to be tested to operate according to test cases corresponding to different operating conditions, and inputting the collected multi-dimensional signal samples into the SAE neural network model for vibration anomaly detection. This method can achieve automatic and accurate detection of servo motor vibration faults and fault cause analysis. However, the fault detection is limited and still relies on manual inspections or offline testing, and cannot "capture hidden faults in dynamic conditions in real time." Summary of the Invention

Currently, there are many mature simulation software on the market that support multi-physics coupling modeling, such as COMSOL Multiphysics, ANSYS, ABAQUS, etc. These software provide a rich set of physical field interfaces and coupling tools that can easily realize data transfer and interaction between different physical fields.

[0161] Output unit: used to select the optimal solution output;
[0162] Adaptive control unit: used to automatically reduce speed or stop the machine when a motor fault is detected.
[0163] Tracing vibration propagation paths in a digital image allows rapid location of fault sources, shortening troubleshooting time. The digital image simulates the impact of different maintenance options on the production line, selecting the lowest-cost, most efficient strategy. By combining fault types with production requirements, an actionable maintenance plan is generated to minimize downtime losses.

[0167] T = 100h: The energy of the vibration signal in the 850Hz frequency band increases by 12dB, and the 1D-CNN model predicts a failure probability of 85%;
[0168] T=150h: The fiber Bragg grating sensor detects that the core stress reaches 75 MPa (close to the warning threshold of 80 MPa).
[0169] Digital Twin Decision Making:
[0170] Two scenarios are simulated in the digital mirror:
