[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides a hollow harmonic reduction platform, including: a casing 2, a harmonic reducer 3 and a motor 1, the casing 2 is connected to the motor 1, the wave generator 4 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 13, and the wave generator 4 is fixed in the casing 2 by screws through the mounting holes 13.

[0020] The harmonic reducer 3 includes: a wave generator 4, a steel ball sleeve 7, a flexible gear 10 and a rigid gear 11. The wave generator 4 includes an elliptical cam 5 and a flexible bearing 6. A hollow groove 12 is provided in the center of the cam 5. The flexible bearing 6 is sleeved on the cam 5 through the steel ball sleeve 7. The cam 5 is interference fit with the flexible bearing 6.

[0021] The steel ball sleeve 7 includes a retaining frame 8 and a plurality of balls 9 . The balls 9 are rotatably mounted on the retaining frame 8 and the balls 9 protrude from the retaining frame 8 .

[0022] The flexible gear 10 is a flexible thin-walled elastic part with an outer gear ring, and is installed at the output end of the harmonic reducer 3 .

[0023] The flexible gear 10 is sleeved on the outer ring of the flexible bearing 6 , and the outer ring of the flexible gear 10 is meshed with the inner ring of the rigid gear 11 . The rigid gear 11 is a rigid annular part with an inner gear ring, and is fixedly mounted on the housing 2 .

[0024] In the assembled state, the long axis end of the elliptical cam 5 in the wave generator 4 squeezes the flexible bearing 6, causing the flexible bearing 6 to deform along the long axis direction. This effect is transmitted to the flexible gear 10 that is closely connected to the wave generator 4, and then it meshes with the inner teeth of the rigid gear 11. In the short axis direction of the elliptical cam 5, the rigid gear 11 and the flexible gear 10 are in a separated state. When the wave generator 4 rotates continuously, the flexible gear 10 will produce periodic deformation, so that each tooth of its outer gear ring will mesh with the inner gear ring of the rigid gear 11 successively, that is, it will experience four states of meshing-meshing-meshing-disengaging, and repeat continuously, thereby generating staggered tooth movement, which makes the transmission between the flexible gear 10 and the rigid gear 11 more stable, reduces impact and vibration, and thus improves transmission efficiency.

[0025] At the same time, the setting of the steel ball sleeve 7 changes the friction between the flexible bearing 6 and the flexible gear 10 from sliding friction to rolling friction, reducing friction resistance and further improving transmission efficiency. In addition, the steel ball sleeve 7 can also reduce the finish requirements on the inner wall of the flexible wheel, thereby reducing production costs.

[0026] Working principle: After assembling all components according to the design requirements, insert the wave generator 4 into the flexible gear 10 to make the flexible gear 10 elliptical, fix the rigid gear 11 on the reducer body to mesh with the flexible gear 10, install the steel ball sleeve 7 between the flexible bearing 6 and the flexible gear 10 to ensure that the ball 9 can roll smoothly, evenly apply grease on the flexible bearing 6 to ensure the smooth operation of the flexible bearing 6. When the wave generator 4 rotates continuously, the flexible gear 10 will produce periodic deformation, so that each tooth of its outer gear ring will mesh with the inner gear ring of the rigid gear 11 successively, that is, it will experience four states of meshing-meshing-meshing-disengaging, and repeat them continuously, thereby generating staggered tooth movement; this is the entire working process of the hollow harmonic reduction platform.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
