Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of robot joint modules, in particular to a robot joint module adopting a harmonic reducer. Background Technique
[0002] Due to its unique structure and performance characteristics, the harmonic reducer plays an important role in robot joint modules. They are usually composed of a wave generator, a flexible gear, and a rigid gear. The motion and torque are transmitted through the elastic deformation of the flexible gear to achieve a high reduction ratio and high-precision transmission. The harmonic reducer has the advantages of small volume, light weight, large load-bearing capacity, high transmission accuracy, no backlash in reverse transmission, large single-stage transmission ratio, and high torque. These characteristics make it very suitable for the light-load joints of robots.
[0003] Common robot joint modules are installed through hinge ears and bolts. However, due to the fixed position of the hinge ears, it is more difficult to integrate the robot joint module with other mechanical systems or existing equipment. This makes the joint module unable to use different shaft diameters, reducing the versatility of the module and not meeting the working requirements of the robot joint module. Therefore, a robot joint module adopting a harmonic reducer is proposed. Content of the Utility Model
