[0002] Joints are important components of robots. Different specifications of joints can be used to build different robot configurations as needed, such as robotic arms and biped robots. A joint mainly consists of a driving motor and a reducer. The driving motor provides power, and under the action of the reducer, the power is output to drive the actuator of the robot to move. With the development of mechatronics, robot components are developing towards the direction of being lightweight, integrated, intelligent, and systematic.

[0003] Currently, modular joints are the core components of reconfigurable modular robotic arms. Modular joints can be mainly divided into two categories according to the wiring method: external wiring type and hollow internal wiring type.

Therefore, in recent years, modular joints have been developing towards the hollow internal wiring direction. In the existing technology, the output shaft is set as a hollow structure, and wiring is carried out using the hollow output shaft. However, during the movement of the joint, the two ends of the wire may be twisted, resulting in the wire being straightened, which may cause damage or detachment of the wire, affecting the use of the device.

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the present utility model proposes an integrated servo joint module, including a housing 1, a cover body 2 is detachably connected to the upper side of the housing 1, the middle of the cover body 2 is penetrated by a wire passing tube 3, a wire passing tube bearing 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of the wire passing tube 3, a circuit board mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cover body 2, a circuit board 6 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the circuit board mounting plate 5, a code disk 7, a motor rotor assembly 8 and a motor stator 9 are arranged inside the housing 1, an outer ring pressing ring 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the housing 1 away from the cover body 2 by bolts, and an output flange 13 is fixedly connected to the rotor of the motor rotor assembly 8;

[0024] Among them, the code disk 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of the wire passing pipe 3, the motor stator 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a steel wheel 15 is arranged inside the motor stator 9, the steel wheel 15 is inlaid and installed on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve, a flexible gear 16 is inlaid and installed on the inner surface of the rotating sleeve, and an oil seal cover 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve. The steel wheel 15, as a rigid support and transmission component in the servo joint, has characteristics such as high strength, high rigidity, and wear resistance, and can bear large loads and impact forces, ensuring the stability and reliability of the servo joint. The flexible gear 16 mainly plays a role in transmission and speed reduction. It uses its own elastic deformation to transmit power and adjust the speed, enabling the servo joint to achieve precise position control and speed regulation. The oil seal cover 14 is mainly used to seal the lubricating oil inside the servo joint, prevent oil leakage and the entry of external pollutants, and can also prevent pollutants such as dust and water vapor from invading the interior through the opening part of the joint, thereby protecting key components such as the internal iron core and winding from pollution and damage, and thus extending the service life of the servo joint.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a first motor shaft bearing 10 and a second motor shaft bearing 11 are arranged inside the housing 1. Both the first motor shaft bearing 10 and the second motor shaft bearing 11 are sleeved on the outer wall of the wire passing pipe 3. The first motor shaft bearing 10 is arranged above the second motor shaft bearing 11. The wire passing pipe 3 penetrates through the cam 12, and the cam 12 is detachably connected to the rotating sleeve. A flexible gear bearing 17 is sleeved on the outer wall of the cam 12. An crossed roller bearing 18 is inlaid and installed inside the housing 1. Among them, a main control chip, a MOS tube, a servo control chip, a bus communication chip, and a gate driver are fixedly installed on the circuit board 6. The housing 1 is a metal heat dissipation shell, which is used to conduct the heat generated by the main control chip, the MOS tube, the servo control chip, the bus communication chip, and the gate driver, so that these components can still operate at the rated temperature even in a high-temperature environment. A plurality of temperature detection devices are fixedly installed in the cover body 2, which are used to monitor the real-time temperatures of heat-sensitive components such as the MCU and the MOS tube and the motor rotor assembly 8 in real time, and prevent these devices from operating in an environment where the temperature exceeds the rated temperature. If the device temperature has reached or even exceeded the rated temperature, the main control chip will, according to the program setting, enable alarm, low-power state output, stop working, etc. to deal with it. A single-channel magnetic encoder head is arranged in the housing 1, which is adapted to the code disk 7 and supports multi-turn counting. There is a certain distance in space between the read head and the heat-sensitive components, avoiding the situation of data drift caused by too high temperature, and ensuring the accuracy of data acquisition and the operation stability in a high-temperature environment.

[0026] It should be noted that the flexible gear 16 and the motor rotor assembly 8 are in a nested structure, further compressing the overall space, providing high torque output while ensuring accuracy. At the same time, it is thinner and lighter than similar products. Moreover, through multiple sensors, the operating state can be monitored in real time, and adaptive responses can be made according to different situations. It can operate in high-temperature environments, has a large acceptable environmental temperature margin, and is not easily prone to failures caused by its own generated heat.

[0027] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, please refer to Figures 4 - 8 , a fixed protection component 30 is arranged inside the wire passing pipe 3. A sliding groove 31 is opened on the inner wall of the wire passing pipe 3. The fixed protection component 30 includes a sliding ring 301 which is slidably connected in the sliding groove 31. A fixed sleeve 302 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding ring 301. A groove 303 is opened on the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 302. The grooves 303 are arranged in a circular array with the center line of the fixed sleeve 302 as the center. A fixing member 304 is arranged in the groove 303. One side of the sliding ring 301 close to the fixed sleeve 302 is fixedly connected with an elastic telescopic rod 305. The telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 305 is fixedly connected to the sliding groove 31. A rotating pipe 306 is arranged on the side of the fixed sleeve 302 away from the sliding ring 301. The rotating pipe 306 is threadedly connected to the fixed sleeve 302. An articulated rod 3041 is hinged to the inner surface of the fixing member 304. One end of the articulated rod 3041 away from the fixing member 304 is hinged to the groove 303. Multiple groups of fixing members 304 are provided, and two groups of articulated rods 3041 hinged to the inner surface of each group of fixing members 304 are provided. The two groups of articulated rods 3041 hinged to the inner surface of the fixing member 304 are in a horizontal state. The articulated shaft of the articulated rod 3041 hinged to the groove 303 is elastically connected to the inner surface of the groove 303 through a torsion spring. When it is necessary to fix the wire, by rotating the rotating pipe 306, the rotating pipe 306 descends, compresses the fixing member 304, and then the articulated rod 3041 rotates to compress the torsion spring, so that the fixing member 304 can move downward and also move inward, realizing the fixing of the wire. At the same time, the sliding ring 301 can slide in the sliding groove 31 to compress the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 305. When the two ends of the wire are twisted, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 305 is compressed, and the wire can displace and compensate toward both ends, preventing the wire from being straightened, damaged and falling off, improving the use effect of the device. After the wires are fixed in an orderly manner, it is convenient for wiring and pipe laying work. Moreover, after the wires are fixed, loosening and falling off caused by external factors such as vibration and impact can be reduced, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0028] In addition, the design of the wire passing tube 3 makes the middle part of the device in a hollow state. The hollow structure is beneficial to heat dissipation, and the fixed protection component 30 can further ensure that the wire does not block the heat dissipation channel, so as to keep the servo joint operating at a good working temperature. At the same time, setting the fixed protection component 30 in the wire passing tube 3 to fix the wire can make full use of the internal space, reduce the occupation of the external space, and thus improve the space utilization rate of the overall device.

[0029] It should be noted that the above electrical components are all existing technical products. Those skilled in the art select, install and complete the debugging operation of the circuit according to the needs of use to ensure that all electrical appliances can work normally. The components are all common standard components or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can all be known by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or obtained through conventional experimental methods, and no specific limitations are made here.

[0030] During use, after the wire is connected and passed through the wire passing tube 3, rotate the rotating tube 306 in one set of the fixed protection components 30 to lower the rotating tube 306, squeeze the fixing member 304, and then the hinged rod 3041 rotates to compress the button spring, so that the fixing member 304 can move downward and also move inward to fix the wire. Then repeat the above operation for the other set of fixed protection components 30 to fix the other end of the wire. During this process, make the area of the wire between the two sets of fixed protection components 30 in a relaxed state. Then when the two ends of the wire are twisted, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod 305 is compressed, and the sliding ring 301 can move in the chute 31, and the wire can displace and compensate towards both ends.

[0031] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the description and drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
