Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robotics technology, and in particular to a servo encoder integrated robot integrated joint. Background Art

[0002] In the current robotics field, integrated joints typically feature encoders at both the motor and joint ends to achieve precise position control and safety redundancy. This structure typically includes two sets of encoder discs and readers, often stacked along the joint axis. This results in a complex joint length structure, low power density, and difficulty in achieving compactness and miniaturization of the entire robot. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a servo encoder integrated robot integrated joint, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A servo encoder integrated robot integrated joint includes a motor and a motor encoder code disk. The motor drives the torque sensor to move through a harmonic reducer. The torque sensor is connected to the flexible wheel and the hollow shaft of the harmonic reducer as the output end. The motor encoder reader is integrated with the joint encoder reader and the servo driver. Therefore, the motor encoder code disk and the joint encoder code disk are coaxial and nested inside and outside, and the working surface of the motor encoder code disk is simultaneously opposite to the motor encoder reader on the servo driver and maintains a gap. The joint encoder code disk and the joint encoder reader are opposite to each other and maintain a gap.

[0006] Preferably, the motor includes a motor rotor and a motor stator, and a hollow shaft is installed through the motor rotor.

[0007] Preferably, a cross roller bearing is provided between the torque sensor and the harmonic reducer.

[0008] Preferably, the motor encoder reader, joint encoder reader, and signal processing circuit are all integrated with the servo drive, and the motor encoder reader and joint encoder reader are arranged on the same side surface of the servo drive and face the working surface of the motor encoder code disk.

[0009] Preferably, the motor encoder reader is located in the sensing area of ​​the motor encoder code disc, and the joint encoder reader is located in the sensing area of ​​the joint encoder code disc.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the hollow shaft is fixed to the torque sensor, and the other end is fixed to the joint encoder disc, and the motor encoder disc is connected to the motor rotor.

[0011] Preferably, the joint encoder code disc and the bearing are axially fixed by a bearing inner pressure plate and a bearing outer pressure plate, and the bearing bracket, the brake housing and the bearing axially position the joint encoder code disc.

[0012] Preferably, the brake housing is connected to the servo drive, and a brake is installed in the brake housing.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the motor encoder reader, the joint encoder reader and the servo driver are integrated into one, so that the encoder reader no longer needs to be provided with a separate signal processing PCBA. At the same time, the joint encoder code disc and the motor encoder code disc are coaxially nested, without the need to increase the axial size, further reducing the size and volume of the joint;

[0014] The signal between the encoder reader and the driver is directly wired and transmitted inside the driver PCBA, reducing signal instability and interference caused by patch cables;

[0015] The joint encoder reader and the motor encoder reader are installed on the same side of the driver PCBA. The driver PCBA does not participate in the dimensional chain of the encoder gap control. This makes the two readers have the same dimensional reference, improving the control accuracy of the gap between the two encoder readers and the code disk.

[0016] The joint encoder code disc is controlled by the dimensional chain of the bearing, bearing bracket, brake housing, etc. to ensure the gap with the encoder reading head on the driver. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
