Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to a motor, a robot joint module and a robot. Background Art

[0002] At this stage, the competition of robot performance has sunk to the competition of core component performance in addition to the performance of system integration. As a core component, the power density of servo motor directly affects the performance and structural design of the robot. For this reason, high power density servo motors have always been the unremitting pursuit of robot manufacturers.

[0003] In order to achieve the high power density index of the motor, we can start from improving the power output performance of the motor on the one hand, and reduce the size and weight of the motor on the other hand. In the internal structure layout of the existing mainstream servo motor, the motor flange, front bearing, stator, brake, rear bearing, and rear end cover are arranged in series, resulting in a longer overall size of the motor, affecting the compactness of the motor and thus reducing the power density.

[0012] In some optional examples, the output shaft is provided with a shoulder, which abuts against an end of the inner ring of the first bearing away from the first end cover, so as to limit the axial displacement of the first bearing together with the first end cover.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] If certain words are used in the specification and claims to refer to specific components, those skilled in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers may use different terms to refer to the same component. The specification and claims do not use differences in names as a way to distinguish components, but use differences in components' functions as the criteria for distinction. For example, "including" mentioned throughout the specification and claims is an open term, so it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to"; "substantially" means that those skilled in the art can solve technical problems within a certain error range and basically achieve technical effects.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a robot joint module 200 and a robot 300 equipped with the robot joint module 200.

[0030] This specification does not limit the specific type of the robot 300. For example, the robot 300 can be an industrial robot or a collaborative robot. The robot 300 includes a body 301, an execution end 303, and a robot joint module 200. The robot joint module 200 is connected between the execution end 303 and the body 301, and is used to drive the execution end 303 to move relative to the body 301. In some embodiments, the robot 300 may include a plurality of execution ends 303, and accordingly, the robot 300 also includes a robot joint module 200 corresponding to the plurality of execution ends 303, and each execution end 303 is connected to the body 301 through a corresponding robot joint module 200.

[0031] Please also see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the robot joint module 200 may include a motor 100 and an actuator 201. The motor 100 includes an output shaft 40, and the actuator 201 is connected to the output shaft 40. In some embodiments, the actuator 201 may be the output end of the robot joint module 200, for example, it may include an output flange, which is used to connect the elements driven by the robot joint module 200 (such as a turntable or a gripper, etc.), so as to transmit the movement of the robot joint module 200 to the desired scene. In other embodiments, the actuator 201 may include multiple execution bodies to achieve different functions.

[0032] This specification does not limit the specific type of the motor 100. For example, the motor 100 may be a servo motor, a stepper motor, a torque motor, etc. In this embodiment, the motor 100 is a servo motor.

[0033] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the motor 100 may include a housing 10, a first end cover 20, a motor stator 90, the above-mentioned output shaft 40, a motor rotor 80, a brake 50 and a first bearing 60. The housing 10 is provided with a housing chamber 12, and the first end cover 20 is connected to one end of the housing 10. The motor stator 90 is disposed in the housing chamber 12 and connected to the housing 10, and the motor stator 90 is provided with a hollow hole 92. The output shaft 40 is passed through the housing 10 and the first end cover 20, and the output shaft 40 is passed through the hollow hole 92. The motor rotor 80 is disposed in the hollow hole 92 and is non-rotatably connected to the output shaft 40. It should be understood that the "non-rotatable connection" between the motor rotor 80 and the output shaft 40 should be understood as that the motor rotor 80 and the output shaft 40 are relatively fixed, and the output shaft 40 can rotate with the rotation of the motor rotor 80.

[0034] The brake 50 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 12 and at least partially embedded in the hollow hole 92. The brake 50 may include a brake stator 52 and a brake rotor 54. The brake rotor 54 is connected to the output shaft 40 in a non-rotatable manner. It should be understood that the "non-rotatable connection" between the brake rotor 54 and the output shaft 40 should be understood as that the brake rotor 54 and the output shaft 40 are relatively fixed, and the brake rotor 54 can rotate with the rotation of the output shaft 40. The brake stator 52 is provided with a first positioning hole 527. The brake stator 52 is fixedly disposed in the accommodating chamber 12 and sleeved on the outside of the output shaft 40 through the first positioning hole 527. The hole wall of the first positioning hole 527 is spaced from the output shaft 40. The first bearing 60 is sleeved on the output shaft 40 and at least partially accommodated in the first positioning hole 527.

[0035] In the motor 100, the first bearing 60 is at least partially accommodated in the first positioning hole 527, and the first bearing 60 and the brake 50 are at least partially arranged in parallel in the radial direction of the output shaft 40, which realizes the parallel layout of the first bearing 60 and the brake 50 to a certain extent. The brake 50 is at least partially embedded in the hollow hole 92 of the motor stator 90, and the brake 50 and the motor stator 90 are at least partially arranged in parallel in the radial direction of the output shaft 40, which realizes the parallel layout of the brake 50 and the motor stator 90 to a certain extent. Compared with the motor with a series layout, the parallel layout of the first bearing 60 and the brake 50, and the parallel layout of the brake 50 and the motor stator 90 greatly shortens the axial dimension of the motor 100 (the dimension of the motor 100 along the axial direction of the output shaft 40), and improves the compactness of the overall structure of the motor 100.

[0036] When the axial dimension of the motor 100 is shortened, the axial dimension of the housing 10 is also shortened, thereby reducing the weight of the housing 10. The motor 100 limits the first bearing 60 through the brake 50, thereby reducing the need for the first end cover 20 to limit the first bearing 60, thereby enabling the first end cover 20 to be designed to be thinner and lighter, thereby reducing the structural weight of the first end cover 20. As described above, the motor 100 provided in the present application utilizes the space within the motor stator 90, thereby reducing the overall axial dimension of the motor 100, lowering the overall weight, and having a higher power density.

[0037] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be internal communication between two elements, or it can be only surface contact. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the housing 10 is used to provide protection for the structure in the accommodating chamber 12, and the accommodating chamber 12 is used to accommodate other structures of the motor 100. The housing 10 is roughly cylindrical, and the accommodating chamber 12 passes through both ends of the housing 10 along the axial direction of the output shaft 40. The first end cover 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the housing 10, for example, connected to the end surface of one end of the housing 10 by screws. The first end cover 20 may be provided with a mounting hole 22 for the output shaft 40 to pass through. The output shaft 40 passes through the housing 10 and extends out of the housing 10 through the mounting hole 22 of the first end cover 20. The output shaft 40 is used to drive the actuator 201 to move (such as Figure 2 shown).

[0039] The motor stator 90 is fixedly connected to the housing 10 and is rotatably sleeved on the motor rotor 80 through the hollow hole 92. The present specification does not limit the specific structure of the motor stator 90. As an example, the motor stator 90 may include an iron core and a winding, and the winding is connected to a power supply and generates a magnetic field when powered. The magnetic field generated by the motor stator 90 interacts with the magnetic field of the motor rotor 80 to generate torque. The motor rotor 80 realizes mechanical output through the output shaft 40. The motor rotor 80 can adopt a permanent magnet type, an AC induction type, or other designs.

[0040] The winding of the motor stator 90 is arranged in the iron core and the winding protrudes from one end of the iron core. The part of the winding protruding from the iron core usually does not participate in the magnetic circuit operation. The motor rotor 80 is arranged in the hollow hole 92. Part of the structure of the brake 50 is embedded in the hollow hole 92 and corresponds to the aforementioned "part of the winding protruding from the iron core" in the radial direction of the output shaft 40, so that the part of the brake 50 embedded in the motor stator 90 will not interfere with the magnetic circuit operation of the motor stator 90 and the motor rotor 80. The embedding of the brake 50 in the motor stator 90 effectively utilizes the length space of the motor stator 90, improves the compactness of the structure, and enables the brake 50 and the motor stator 90 to achieve parallel layout to a certain extent, shortens the axial dimension of the motor 100, and improves the power density of the motor 100.

[0041] This specification does not limit the specific positional relationship between the brake 50 and the motor stator 90. For example, the brake rotor 54 is embedded in the hollow hole 92, or the brake stator 52 is embedded in the hollow hole 92. In this embodiment, the brake rotor 54 is embedded in the hollow hole 92, the brake stator 52 is connected to the side of the brake rotor 54 away from the motor rotor 80, and the brake rotor 54 is arranged between the brake rotor 54 and the first end cover 20 and is located outside the hollow hole 92. The first bearing 60 is arranged between the brake stator 52 and the output shaft 40. The brake stator 52 is arranged between the motor stator 90 and the first end cover 20, and the first bearing 60 is arranged on the side of the brake stator 52 facing the first end cover 20.

[0042] In some embodiments, the brake stator 52 is embedded in the hollow hole 92. Specifically, one end of the brake stator 52 is embedded in the hollow hole 92, and the brake rotor 54 is connected to the side of the brake stator 52 away from the motor rotor 80 and is located outside the hollow hole 92. The first bearing 60 is disposed between one end of the brake stator 52 located in the hollow hole 92 and the output shaft 40.

[0043] In some other embodiments, see Figure 5 , the brake stator 52 and the brake rotor 54 can both be embedded in the hollow hole 92. Specifically, the brake stator 52 can have a first end 521 and a second end 523. Among them, the first end 521 is embedded in the hollow hole 92, and the first end 521 is provided with a receiving hole 525. The brake rotor 54 is accommodated in the receiving hole 525 and is also accommodated in the hollow hole 92. The first bearing 60 is arranged between the second end 523 and the output shaft 40. The brake stator 52 and the brake rotor 54 are both embedded in the hollow hole 92, which effectively utilizes the length space of the motor stator 90, improves the compactness of the structure, and enables the brake 50 and the motor stator 90 to realize a parallel layout to a certain extent, shortens the axial dimension of the motor 100, and improves the power density of the motor 100.

[0044] This specification does not limit the implementation method of the brake 50 braking the output shaft 40. As an example, a bearing can be used to form a magnetic pole between the brake stator 52 and the brake rotor 54. The brake 50 also includes an elastic element. The working principle of the brake 50 is to achieve emergency braking by relying on the elastic potential energy of the elastic element when no power is supplied. After the coil of the brake 50 is powered off, under the action of the elastic potential energy, friction is generated between the friction disk and the connecting plate and the armature, thereby braking the output shaft 40; after the coil is powered on, the armature is attracted to the magnetic roller under the action of the electromagnetic force, thereby loosening the friction disk and achieving the purpose of releasing the brake.

[0045] Please refer again Figure 4 In this embodiment, the brake stator 52 is connected to the first end cover 20. The first end cover 20 may include an end cover body 21 and a positioning portion 23. The end cover body 21 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, and the mounting hole 22 is opened in the end cover body 21. The positioning portion 23 is arranged on a side surface of the end cover body 21 facing the brake 50 and protrudes relative to the surface of the end cover body 21. The positioning portion 23 and the end cover body 21 can be integrally formed and connected. The positioning portion 23 is arranged around the end cover body 21, and the positioning portion 23 is generally annular in structure to define a limiting groove 232 together with the end cover body 21. As an example, the end cover body 21 can be generally rectangular, and the positioning portion 23 is generally a circular protrusion. The brake 50 is embedded in the limiting groove 232. The nested connection between the brake 50 and the first end cover 20 improves the connection stability between the two and also improves the structural compactness of the motor 100.

[0046] The brake stator 52 is disposed between the brake rotor 54 and the first end cover 20, and the brake stator 52 is embedded in the limiting groove 232. The brake stator 52 and the end cover body 21 are overlapped along the axial direction of the output shaft 40, and the brake stator 52 is fixedly connected to the end cover body 21. In this embodiment, the first positioning hole 527 is opened on the side of the brake stator 52 facing the first end cover 20. The hole wall of the first positioning hole 527 is connected to the outer ring of the first bearing 60. The first bearing 60 is located on the side of the brake 50 close to the first end cover 20, and the end cover body 21 and the brake stator 52 are in contact with and abut against the end face of the outer ring of the first bearing 60. The brake 50 and the first end cover 20 jointly limit the first bearing 60, improve the compactness of the structure, reduce the thickness requirement of the first end cover 20, thereby reducing the thickness and weight of the first end cover 20, and improving the power density of the motor 100.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first bearing 60 is completely contained in the first positioning hole 527. Figure 6 As shown, the end cover body 21 is superimposed on the end face of the brake stator 52 and abuts against the end face of the outer ring of the first bearing 60. The brake stator 52 limits the radial displacement of the first bearing 60, and the end cover body 21 limits the axial displacement of the first bearing 60. The brake 50 and the first bearing 60 are arranged in parallel, which shortens the axial dimension of the motor 100. The first end cover 20 only limits the first bearing 60 in the axial direction, reducing the requirement for the thickness of the first end cover 20, thereby reducing the thickness and weight of the first end cover 20 and improving the power density of the motor 100. The brake stator 52 and the first end cover 20 jointly define a bearing chamber for limiting the first bearing 60, which improves the installation stability of the first bearing 60.

[0048] See also Figure 7In other embodiments, the first bearing 60 can be partially accommodated in the first positioning hole 527. A second positioning hole 24 is provided on the side of the first end cover 20 facing the brake 50, and the second positioning hole 24 surrounds the outside of the mounting hole 22. The second positioning hole 24 has an intersecting peripheral wall and a bottom wall, and the peripheral wall of the second positioning hole 24 is substantially flush with the inner wall of the first positioning hole 527. One end of the first bearing 60 is accommodated in the first positioning hole 527, and the other end is accommodated in the second positioning hole 24, and the bottom wall of the second positioning hole 24 is abutted against the end face of the outer ring of the first bearing 60. The peripheral wall of the brake stator 52 and the second positioning hole 24 jointly limit the radial displacement of the first bearing 60, and the bottom wall of the second positioning hole 24 limits the axial displacement of the first bearing 60. The first bearing 60 and the brake 50 are arranged in series and parallel, which shortens the axial dimension of the motor 100. The first end cover 20 and the brake 50 jointly limit the first bearing 60, reducing the thickness requirement of the first end cover 20, thereby reducing the thickness and weight of the first end cover 20 and improving the power density of the motor 100. The brake stator 52 and the first end cover 20 jointly define a bearing chamber for limiting the first bearing 60, thereby improving the installation stability of the first bearing 60.

[0049] Please also see Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the output shaft 40 may include a shaft body 41 and a shaft shoulder 43, and the shaft body 41 is provided through the housing 10 and the first end cover 20. The shaft shoulder 43 is formed on the peripheral wall of the shaft body 41 and protrudes relative to the peripheral wall of the shaft body 41. The shaft shoulder 43 is located in the accommodating cavity 12 and abuts against the end of the inner ring of the first bearing 60 away from the first end cover 20. The shaft shoulder 43 and the first end cover 20 jointly limit the axial displacement of the first bearing 60, further improving the installation stability of the first bearing 60.

[0050] In other embodiments, if the brake stator 52 is embedded in the hollow hole 92, and the brake rotor 54 is disposed between the brake stator 52 and the first end cover 20, the first bearing 60 is spaced apart from the first end cover 20. A limiting protrusion may be disposed on the hole wall of the first positioning hole 527 of the brake stator 52, and the brake 50 may axially limit the first bearing 60 through the limiting protrusion.

[0051] In this embodiment, the motor 100 may further include a second end cover 30 and a second bearing 70. The second end cover 30 is fixedly connected to the end of the housing 10 away from the first end cover 20, for example, fixedly connected to the end surface of the housing 10 by screws. Similar to the first end cover 20, the second end cover 30 is also provided with a mounting hole for the output shaft 40 to pass through, and the output shaft 40 is passed through the mounting hole of the second end cover 30. The second bearing 70 is arranged between the second end cover 30 and the output shaft 40. Specifically, the second bearing 70 is sleeved outside the output shaft 40 and at least partially accommodated in the second end cover 30. The second end cover 30 is provided with a mounting groove 32 on the side facing the first end cover 20, and the second bearing 70 is accommodated in the mounting groove 32. The peripheral wall of the mounting groove 32 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the second bearing 70. In some embodiments, the output shaft 40 may also be provided with a shoulder for limiting the second bearing 70. For example, the shoulder may be supported against one end of the inner ring of the second bearing 70. For details, please refer to the description of the shoulder 43 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0052] In the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0053] This specification does not limit the specific position of the first end cover 20. For example, the first end cover 20 may be an output flange 27 located at one end of the motor 100 output, and the second end cover 30 may be a rear end cover 28 located at the tail of the motor 100 (the end away from the output flange 27). The output shaft 40 has an output end 45, and the output end 45 extends toward the outside of the accommodating cavity 12 relative to the output flange 27 for connecting the actuator 201 driven by the motor 100. In other embodiments, the second end cover 30 may be the output flange 27, and the first end cover 20 may be the rear end cover 28.

[0054] In the motor 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first bearing 60 is at least partially accommodated in the first positioning hole 527, and the first bearing 60 and the brake 50 are at least partially arranged in parallel in the radial direction of the output shaft 40, which realizes the parallel layout of the first bearing 60 and the brake 50 to a certain extent. The brake 50 is at least partially embedded in the hollow hole 92 of the motor stator 90, and the brake 50 and the motor stator 90 are at least partially arranged in parallel in the radial direction of the output shaft 40, which realizes the parallel layout of the brake 50 and the motor stator 90 to a certain extent. Compared with the motor with a series layout, the parallel layout of the first bearing 60 and the brake 50, and the parallel layout of the brake 50 and the motor stator 90 greatly shortens the axial size of the motor 100 and improves the compactness of the overall structure of the motor 100.

[0055] When the axial dimension of the motor 100 is shortened, the axial dimension of the housing 10 is also shortened, thereby reducing the weight of the housing 10. The motor 100 limits the first bearing 60 through the brake 50, thereby reducing the need for the first end cover 20 to limit the first bearing 60, thereby enabling the first end cover 20 to be designed to be thinner and lighter, thereby reducing the structural weight of the first end cover 20. As described above, the motor 100 provided in the present application utilizes the space within the motor stator 90, thereby reducing the overall axial dimension of the motor 100, lowering the overall weight, and having a higher power density.
