[0040] The mechanical arm housing comprises a four-axis main housing 101, a four-axis secondary housing 102, a small arm rear end housing 103, a small arm middle housing 104, a small arm front end housing 105, and a wrist housing 106 connected in turn. The small arm front end housing 105 is provided with an end cover 107. The driving motor comprises a first motor 108 and a second motor 109, both of which have an input shaft. The quasi-toroidal gear transmission mechanism comprises two coaxially arranged curved gears, each of which is connected with an output shaft, one of which is in driving connection with the wrist housing 106 for realizing the rotation of the wrist housing 106. A manipulator (not shown in the figure) is rotatably arranged on the wrist housing 106, and the other output shaft is in driving connection with the manipulator. The input shaft of the first motor 108 is in driving connection with a first transmission shaft 114 through a first gear 112, and the first transmission shaft 114 is in driving connection with one of the curved gears of the quasi-toroidal gear set 110.

[0041] The encoder 200 is arranged on the input shafts of the first motor 108 and the second motor 109 and the two output shafts of the quasi-toroidal gear transmission mechanism.
[0042] The encoder 200 comprises a base 206, on which a mounting shaft 207 is mounted through a bearing 300, which is used for coaxial fixed connection of the input shafts of the first motor 108 and the second motor 109 and the two output shafts. The mounting shaft 207 is provided with a magnetic element 204, the base 206 is internally provided with a circuit board 203, the circuit board 203 is provided with a magnetic sensitive element 202, the base 206 is further provided with a cover plate 201, the circuit board 203 is connected with a connecting terminal 205, and the connecting terminal 205 is connected with a control system. The structure of the encoder 200 belongs to the prior art, and can refer to the patent document CN222837593U. When the first motor 108 and the second motor 109 rotate, the input shafts thereof will drive the mounting shaft 207 of the encoder 200 and the magnetic element 204 fixed thereon to rotate synchronously. After the magnetic sensitive element 202 inside the encoder 200 detects the change of the magnetic field, it processes and outputs an electric signal representing the motor speed and position through the circuit board 203, and this electric signal is fed back to the control system. Similarly, the rotation of the output shaft of the quasi-toroidal gear transmission mechanism will also feed back the signal to the control system, so as to realize the precise motion control of the mechanical arm.
[0043] When the mechanical arm causes the rollers 308 inside the bearing 300 of the encoder 200 to heat due to action, part of the retaining plate can slide on the corresponding arc segment to increase the spacing between the two adjacent retaining plates, thereby increasing the contact area of the metal spring 310 with the roller 308, improving the heat dissipation effect of the metal spring 310 on the roller 308, which can avoid the temperature of the roller 308 of the bearing 300 of the encoder 200 being too high, thereby avoiding the encoder 200 from shaking and improving the positioning accuracy of the mechanical arm.
[0044] Further, a shape memory alloy 311 is arranged between the two adjacent retaining plates, and the shape memory alloy 311 is arranged away from the roller 308 relative to the metal spring 310; when the roller 308 heats, the shape memory alloy 311 can be heated and elongated to push part of the retaining plate to slide on the corresponding arc segment.
[0045] In this way, the shape memory alloy 311 directly converts the heat on the roller 308 into the sliding of the retaining plate, without external control, and the reaction is rapid and accurate.
[0046] Further, the retaining plate includes a fixed retaining plate 313 and a plurality of sliding retaining plates 309, the fixed retaining plate 313 is fixedly arranged at the middle position of the arc segment, and the sliding retaining plates 309 are distributed on both sides of the fixed retaining plate 313 and are slidingly arranged on the arc segment; the shape memory alloy 311 is arranged between the fixed retaining plate 313 and the adjacent sliding retaining plate 309 and between the two adjacent sliding retaining plates 309; when the roller 308 heats, the shape memory alloy 311 can be heated and elongated to push the sliding retaining plate 309 to slide on the arc segment. The fixed retaining plate 313 is fixedly arranged at the middle position of the arc segment by the locking pin 312.
[0047] In this way, by fixing the fixed retaining plate 313 at the middle position of the arc segment, the plurality of sliding retaining plates 309 can slide in two opposite directions on the arc segment, thereby avoiding the unilateral sliding of the sliding retaining plate 309 on the arc segment and achieving uniform heat dissipation of the roller 308. Since the linear speed of the roller 308 at the two end positions of the arc segment is the largest when the roller 308 revolves and revolves between the bearing inner ring 301 and the bearing outer ring 302, the sliding range of the sliding retaining plate 309 on the arc segment is limited, avoiding the sliding retaining plate 309 being close to the two end positions of the arc segment, thereby avoiding the sliding retaining plate 309 from generating large wear on the roller 308 and ensuring the normal use of the encoder 200.
[0048] Further, the metal spring 310 between the two adjacent retaining plates is provided with a plurality of metal springs 310, and the plurality of metal springs 310 are distributed in the axial direction of the arc segment.
[0049] The plurality of spaced-apart metal springs 310 can increase the contact area of the metal springs 310 with the roller 308, and can form a heat dissipation channel, thereby further enhancing the heat dissipation effect on the roller 308.
[0050] Further, the shape memory alloy 311 is in a spiral shape. The spiral structure can provide a greater extendable length in the limited space between the adjacent two retaining plates, thereby being able to push the sliding retaining plate 309 to generate a greater sliding displacement.
[0051] Further, the shape memory alloy 311 is made of a nickel-titanium alloy material. The nickel-titanium alloy has excellent fatigue life, corrosion resistance, and controllable phase change temperature, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the extension and contraction.
[0052] Further, two shape memory alloys 311 are arranged between the adjacent two retaining plates, and the two shape memory alloys 311 are respectively located on the axial two sides of the arc-shaped section. In this way, the sliding retaining plate 309 can be simultaneously pushed from the axial two sides of the arc-shaped section, thereby avoiding the torque that the sliding retaining plate 309 can generate due to unilateral force, and making the sliding of the sliding retaining plate 309 more smooth and stable.
[0053] Further, the first retaining ring 304 and the second retaining ring 305 each have a connecting section 307, the connecting section 307 is located at two ends of the arc-shaped section, and the connecting section 307 is perpendicular to the axis of the bearing inner ring 301. The connecting section 307 of the first retaining ring 304 and the connecting section 307 of the second retaining ring 305 are fixedly connected through the bolt 306, so that the arc-shaped section of the first retaining ring 304 and the arc-shaped section of the second retaining ring 305 are butted to form a pocket hole. The bolt 306 is reliable and stable, so that the first retaining ring 304 and the second retaining ring 305 are not easy to separate during high-speed operation.
[0054] Further, two sealing rings 303 are arranged between the bearing inner ring 301 and the bearing outer ring 302, and the two sealing rings 303 seal the first retaining ring 304 and the second retaining ring 305 between the bearing inner ring 301 and the bearing outer ring 302. In this way, the dust and impurities outside can be prevented from entering the inside of the bearing 300, thereby ensuring the sealing property of the bearing 300.
[0055] Further, a rectangular hole is arranged on each retaining plate, the arc-shaped section has a rectangular cross section in the radial direction, and the retaining plate is sleeved on the arc-shaped section through the rectangular hole. In this way, the retaining plate can be limited to rotate on the arc-shaped section, so that the retaining plate can only slide along the arc length direction of the arc-shaped section.
[0056] In combination with the above embodiment, the use principle and working process of the embodiment of the application are as follows:
[0057] In the initial state, the bearing 300 in the encoder 200 is in the first state, as shown inFigure 6 and Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 6, at this time, the shape memory alloy 311 and the metal spring 310 on the first retaining ring 304 and the second retaining ring 305 are in the contracted state. When the first motor 108 and the second motor 109 are running, the rollers 308 in the bearing 300 of the encoder 200 heat up, causing the shape memory alloy 311 to elongate, thereby pushing the sliding retaining plate 309 to slide along the arc-shaped section, increasing the spacing between two adjacent retaining plates, and making the bearing 300 in the encoder 200 in the second state, as shown in FIG. 7. Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown in FIG. 7, at this time, the shape memory alloy 311 and the metal spring 310 on the first retaining ring 304 and the second retaining ring 305 are in the elongated state, the contact area of the metal spring 310 with the roller 308 is increased, and the heat dissipation of the roller 308 is realized. In this way, the temperature of the roller 308 in the bearing 300 of the encoder 200 can be prevented from being too high, and the encoder 200 can be prevented from shaking, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the mechanical arm.
[0058] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictions, they should be considered as the scope of the present disclosure.
