However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been provided in the various embodiments of this invention to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in the claims of this application can be implemented even without these technical details and with various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0017] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a two-stage planetary reducer mechanism for a robot joint module, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes: In this embodiment, a housing 1 is provided on the two-stage planetary reducer mechanism of the robot joint module. The housing 1 serves as a support frame for the two-stage planetary reducer mechanism of the robot joint module and protects the internal components.

[0018] A first-stage planetary reducer structure 21 is installed inside the housing 1; A two-stage planetary reducer structure 22 is set on one side of the first-stage planetary reducer structure 21. The motor outputs power to drive the first-stage planetary reducer structure 21, which in turn transmits power to the two-stage planetary reducer structure 22, causing them to run. The two-stage reduction output is achieved. The motor outputs power and transmits it to the first-stage sun gear 4 through the through-shaft 2. The first-stage sun gear 4 drives several first-stage planetary gears 7 that mesh with it to rotate. The several first-stage planetary gears 7 revolve around the first-stage sun gear 4 and rotate on their own axes. The first-stage planet carrier 10 rotates with the several first-stage planetary gears 7, transmitting power to the second-stage sun gear 11. This is the first stage of reduction. The second-stage sun gear 11 drives several second-stage planetary gears 14 to rotate. The several second-stage planetary gears 14 revolve around the second-stage sun gear 11 and rotate on their own axes, transmitting power to the second-stage planet carrier 17. Finally, the power after two-stage reduction is output, which improves the output speed ratio and enhances the torque.

[0019] In this embodiment, a two-stage planetary reducer structure 22 is provided on one side of the single-stage planetary reducer structure 21. The motor outputs power to drive the single-stage planetary reducer structure 21, which in turn transmits power to the two-stage planetary reducer structure 22, driving them to run. The two-stage reduction output solves the problems of the limited reduction ratio of traditional single-stage planetary reducers, which require multiple stages in series to achieve a large reduction ratio, resulting in increased structural volume and reduced efficiency; the complex support structure of traditional multi-stage series reducers, due to the large number of shafts, easily leads to cumulative transmission errors, and the assembly clearance of each shaft section causes input and output coaxiality deviation, reducing transmission smoothness and aggravating wear; the large inertia and large backlash of traditional reducers easily lead to dynamic response lag and positioning errors; and the large number of parts, complex assembly process, and high maintenance cost of traditional reducers.

[0020] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer shell 3 of the threading shaft 2 is fixed on one side of the housing 1. The threading shaft 2 transmits the motor power to the first-stage sun gear 4. The outer shell 3 protects and supports the threading shaft 2, preventing external factors from damaging or interfering with the threading shaft 2.

[0021] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first-stage planetary reducer structure 21 includes: A primary sun gear 4 is fixed on the threading shaft 2, and the primary sun gear 4 drives several primary planetary gears 7 that mesh with it to rotate.

[0023] A primary gear ring 6 is fixedly connected to the housing 1; a primary sun gear 4 is located at the center of the primary gear ring 6; the primary gear ring 6 meshes with a primary planetary gear 7, and through the interaction between its internal teeth and the primary planetary gear 7, the direction and speed of power transmission are changed, thereby achieving primary speed reduction.

[0024] The first-stage planetary gear 7 is movably connected inside the first-stage ring gear 6. The first-stage planetary gear 7 meshes with the first-stage sun gear 4 and the first-stage ring gear 6 simultaneously. The first-stage planetary gear 7 is driven to rotate by the power transmitted by the first-stage sun gear 4, which drives the first-stage planetary carrier 10 to rotate synchronously, transmitting power to the second-stage sun gear 11, and also playing a role in deceleration.

[0025] Several first-stage planetary gears 7 are fixedly connected to the first-stage planetary carrier 10 via first needle roller bearings 8 and first pins 9 respectively; the first-stage planetary carrier 10 rotates with the first-stage planetary gears 7, and the first needle roller bearings 8 and first pins 9 are used to connect the first-stage planetary gears 7 and the first-stage planetary carrier 10, so that the first-stage planetary gears 7 drive the first-stage planetary carrier 10 to rotate; the first-stage planetary carrier 10 rotates with the first-stage planetary gears 7, and transmits the power after the first-stage reduction to the second-stage sun gear 11, driving the two-stage planetary reducer structure 22 to run.

[0026] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first-stage sun gear 4 meshes with the first-stage planet gear 7, and the first-stage sun gear 4 drives the first-stage planet gear 7 to rotate; the first-stage planet gear 7 meshes with the first-stage ring gear 6, and the first-stage planet gear 7 rotates within the first-stage ring gear 6.

[0027] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the two-stage planetary reducer structure 22 includes: A secondary sun gear 11 is fixed on one side of the primary planetary carrier 10. The secondary sun gear 11 receives the power transmitted from the primary planetary carrier 10 and drives the secondary planetary gear 14 to rotate.

[0028] A secondary sun gear support bearing 12 is movably connected to the outer side of the secondary sun gear 11. The secondary sun gear support bearing 12 provides support for the secondary sun gear 11, ensuring its stability during rotation and reducing friction and wear.

[0029] A secondary gear ring 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the primary gear ring 6 and the housing 1; the secondary sun gear is at the center of the secondary gear ring; the secondary gear ring 13 meshes with the secondary planetary gear 14, further changing the direction and speed of power transmission, and realizing secondary deceleration.

[0030] The secondary planetary gear 14 is movably connected to the inner side of the secondary ring gear 13 and the outer side of the secondary sun gear 11. The secondary planetary gear 14 meshes with the secondary sun gear 11 and the secondary ring gear 13, and transmits the power transmitted by the secondary sun gear 11 again to achieve further deceleration.

[0031] Several secondary planetary gears 14 are fixedly connected to the secondary planetary carrier 17 via a second needle roller bearing 15 and a second pin 16, respectively. The secondary planetary carrier 17 rotates with the secondary planetary gears 14. The second needle roller bearing 15 and the second pin 16 fix the secondary planetary gears 14 to the secondary planetary carrier 17, so that the secondary planetary gears 14 can drive the secondary planetary carrier 17 to rotate, outputting power after two stages of reduction, and ensuring the stability of the secondary planetary gears 14 during rotation.

[0032] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, such as Figure 1 As shown, the number of first-stage planetary gears 7 in the first-stage planetary reducer structure 21 is 3; the number of second-stage planetary gears 14 in the two-stage planetary reducer structure 22 is 3.

[0034] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rear cover plate 20 is fixed on the other side of the housing 1. The rear cover plate 20 and the housing 1 together form a closed space to protect the internal components from external dust, impurities and other influences, which helps to improve the overall structural strength of the two-stage planetary reducer mechanism of the robot joint module.

The crossed roller bearing 18 can withstand large radial and axial loads while having high rotational accuracy, ensuring the stability and rotational accuracy of the secondary planetary carrier 17 when outputting power. The retaining ring 19 is used to axially position the crossed roller bearing 18, preventing it from moving in the axial direction, ensuring its normal working position, and improving the reliability and stability of the entire mechanism.
