The transfer end cover 13 is fixed to the motor connection flange by screw connection. The motor output shaft 12 is provided with a sleeve 14, a sleeve 2 15 and a shaft retaining ring 16 on both sides of the involute external spline section.

[0031] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 The harmonic reducer module 20 includes: a wave generator 21, a flexible wheel 22, a rigid wheel 23, and a cross roller bearing 24. The wave generator 21 includes a cam 211 with an involute internal spline, a flexible bearing 212, and a cam end cover 213. The inner ring of the flexible bearing 212 in the wave generator 21 is sleeved on the contour of the cam 211, and the two are interference fit or transition fit. The flexible wheel 22 is sleeved on the wave generator 21, and the matching position is the inner wall of the flexible wheel 22 and the outer ring of the flexible bearing 212 in the wave generator 21. The teeth of the flexible wheel 22 and the teeth of the rigid wheel 23 perform conjugate meshing motion to complete motion transmission. The mounting flange of the rigid wheel 23 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the cross roller bearing 24, and the connection method is screw connection.

[0032] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 The motion output module 30 includes: a flexible wheel connection flange 31, a cross roller bearing inner ring 32, a flexible wheel cover plate 33, a fastening screw 34, a positioning cylindrical pin 35, and a threaded hole 36 for output connection.

[0033] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The cam 211 is connected to the motor output shaft 12 through a spline and is circumferentially positioned and fixedly connected by a large diameter centering method.

This periodic regular deformation is transmitted through the cooperation between the outer ring of the flexible bearing 212 and the inner wall of the flexible wheel 22, forcing the teeth of the flexible wheel 22 to engage in conjugate meshing with the teeth of the rigid wheel 23, and completing the staggered tooth motion. The rigid wheel 23 is fixedly connected to the cross roller bearing 24 by a screw connection and remains stationary, so the rotary motion of the teeth of the flexible wheel 22 is transmitted to the flexible wheel connection flange 31 through the torsion of the cylinder of the flexible wheel 22. The flexible wheel connection flange 31 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner ring 32 of the cross roller bearing by a cylindrical pin connection and a screw connection, and further transmits the motion to the inner ring 32 of the cross roller bearing. The outer side of the inner ring 32 of the cross roller bearing is provided with a threaded connection hole, and the motion output can be carried out by a threaded connection method such as a screw connection. At this point, the harmonic reducer module with high transmission accuracy completes the motion transmission.

[0035] The utility model adopts involute spline connection at the input end, which has higher load-bearing capacity, less stress concentration, and less weakening of the strength of the shaft and the hub; at the same time, the large diameter centering method is selected, and the automatic centering characteristics of the involute spline are utilized, which has better centering and guiding properties, reduces errors caused by installation eccentricity, matching clearance, etc., improves transmission accuracy, and has better performance than ordinary harmonic reducers.
