Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electric servo motors, as a commonly used actuator, are widely used in industrial automation, robotics, and aerospace. In practical applications, the performance of electric servo motors is affected by various factors, among which frictional torque is a crucial parameter. Accurate measurement and evaluation of the frictional torque of electric servo motors are of great significance for optimizing their control precision and improving operational efficiency.

[0003] However, existing measurement methods are generally complex and costly, making it difficult to achieve rapid and accurate measurement of the frictional torque of electric servos.

The device mainly includes an adjusting rod, a friction torque adjusting spring, and a friction torque clamp. These components are connected sequentially, with a friction plate disposed within the clamp, which contacts the output shaft of the reducer. The adjustment process involves pulling the adjusting rod, causing the friction torque adjusting spring to deform. The deformed spring then applies pressure to the reducer output shaft via the clamp, while the friction plate generates friction torque on the rotating reducer output shaft. This patent uses the adjusting rod in the dynamic adjustment device to drive the friction torque clamp, loading continuously varying friction interference torques with different characteristics onto the reducer output shaft.

[0027] Transform it into a difference equation form. , The collected current data is processed to remove noise interference and extract the effective components of the current, including the average value, peak-to-peak value, fluctuation amplitude, and variance.

[0028] The current variation characteristics and corresponding load torque of the electric servo motor under different operating modes (including low-speed and high-speed operation) were measured experimentally. A mathematical model between current variation and load torque was established using linear regression.

[0029] in, , For regression coefficients, This represents the average current.
