[0024] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is that during the use of the robot joint motor, first, under the action of the torque sensor 4, the torque signal of the motor body 3 can be collected and transmitted to the signal processing device 5. Under the action of the signal processing device 5, the signal is filtered and converted, and then the signal is transmitted to the controller 6. The transmitted signal is calculated and compared by the algorithm preset in the controller 6, and the result of the calculation and comparison is converted into a control signal, which is transmitted to the actuator 7. The actuator 7 sends an execution control signal, and at the same time, under the action of the wireless transmission module 8, the property is transmitted, and then under the action of the wireless receiving module 22, the execution signal is received and transmitted to the telescopic rod 21 to control the telescopic rod 21 to work, thereby controlling whether the pawl 20 is engaged with the ratchet body 16, and controlling whether the ratchet body 16 drives the transmission disk 17 to rotate, and then controlling whether the motor body 3 controls the transmission disk 17 to rotate, and protecting the motor body 3 to avoid damage.

[0025] Embodiment 2, as Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, an insertion groove 9 is provided on the outer wall of the output end of the motor body 3, a fixing groove 11 is provided on the outer wall of the circular shaft 10, an insertion shaft 12 is movably inserted between the fixing groove 11 and the inner wall of the insertion groove 9, two support blocks 13 are fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, and the outer walls of the two support blocks 13 are provided with mounting grooves 14, and the inner walls of the two mounting grooves 14 are fixedly installed with bearings 15, and the outer walls of the circular shaft 10 and the outer walls of the transmission plate 17 are fixedly inserted on the inner walls of the bearings 15.

[0026] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is that before the robot joint motor is used, the output end of the motor body 3 is first inserted into the inside of the round shaft 10 under the operation of the staff, and aligned with the insertion groove 9 and the fixing groove 11, and then the insertion shaft 12 is inserted into the insertion groove 9 and the fixing groove 11, thereby completing the fixation between the round shaft 10 and the motor body 3. When the motor body 3 drives the round shaft 10, the ratchet body 16 and the transmission disk 17 to rotate, under the action of the bearing 15, the friction of the parts therein can be reduced to avoid damage to the parts, thereby extending their service life.

[0027] Working principle: During use, after the robot joint motor is installed and fixed, first, the round shaft 10 is sleeved onto the output end of the motor body 3, and the insertion slot 9 and the fixing slot 11 are aligned, and then the insertion shaft 12 is inserted into the insertion slot 9 and the fixing slot 11 to complete the connection between the round shaft 10 and the motor body 3, and then the transmission disk 17 is inserted into the ratchet body 16, and under the action of the reset spring 19, the pawl 20 can be rotated a certain angle to engage with the ratchet body 16. During use, the transmission disk 17 can be driven to rotate by the motor body 3, so that the robot can smoothly complete the corresponding action. During the rotation process, the round shaft 10 and the transmission disk 17 can be supported by the support block 13, and under the action of the bearing 15, the friction between the components can be reduced. When the motor body 3 drives the transmission disk 17 to rotate, under the action of the torque sensor 4, the torque signal of the motor body 3 can be collected and transmitted to the inside of the signal processing device 5. Under the action of the processing device 5, the signal is filtered and converted, and then the signal is transmitted to the controller 6. The transmitted signal is calculated and compared by the algorithm preset in the controller 6, and the result of the calculation and comparison is converted into a control signal, which is transmitted to the actuator 7. The actuator 7 sends an execution control signal, and at the same time, under the action of the wireless transmission module 8, the signal is transmitted. Then, under the action of the wireless receiving module 22, the execution signal is received and transmitted to the telescopic rod 21. When it is calculated that the torque is too large, the telescopic rod 21 will be controlled to work and push the pawl 20 to rotate around the limit shaft 18, so that it no longer engages with the ratchet body 16, so that the motor body 3 can only drive the circular shaft 10 and the ratchet body 16 to rotate, and no longer plays a transmission role on the transmission disk 17, thereby protecting the motor body 3. When the torque does not reach the set value, under the action of the reset spring 19, the pawl 20 can be engaged with the ratchet body 16, so that the motor body 3 can drive the transmission disk 17 to rotate.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes and apply it to other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
