Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , which is an embodiment of the motor spiral distribution device 1 of the present invention. The motor spiral distribution device 1 can be used as a line drive device to drive the rotation of multiple joints of a rope-line manipulator or other mechanical mechanisms.

[0032] The motor spiral distribution device 1 includes a fixing base 11 and a plurality of drive motors 12. A rotating wheel 2 is fixed on the motor shaft of each drive motor 12, and a rope is wound around the rotating wheel 2. The motor drives the rotating wheel 2 to rotate and drive the joint movement through the rope.

[0033] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5The fixing base 11 is a cylindrical structure, and the diameter of the fixing base 11 gradually increases along its axial direction. The side of the fixing base 11 is provided with at least one row of motor mounting grooves 111 arranged spirally along its side. The drive motors 12 are installed in the motor mounting grooves 111 in a one-to-one correspondence. Among them, the end with a smaller diameter of the fixing base 11 is the front end, and the end with a larger diameter is the rear end. After the drive motor 12 is fixed to the motor mounting groove 111, the motor shaft extends outward, and the runner 2 is fixed on the motor shaft. The rope wrapped around the runner 2 is led to the front side and connected to the joint.

[0034] The above-mentioned motor spiral distribution device 1 has a simple structure, and the motor mounting grooves 111 are arranged in a spiral along the outer circumference of the fixing seat 11, ensuring that on the axial projection surface of the motor spiral distribution device 1, each driving motor is staggered in the circumference, avoiding the overlap of the motors on the axial projection surface, and thus avoiding the entanglement of the ropes; at the same time, the diameter of the fixing seat 11 gradually increases, so that the motor mounting grooves 111 form a front and rear height difference, ensuring that the positions of all motors in the rear circumferential area are completely staggered with the motors in the front circumferential area, thereby completely avoiding the overlap of the motors on the axial projection surface, and improving the compactness and efficiency of the overall layout.

[0035] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the side of the mounting base 11 is provided with two rows of motor mounting slots 111 arranged in a spiral pattern. This double-spiral arrangement allows for a more compact arrangement of the motors on the mounting base 11, simplifying the overall structure of the mounting base 11. Preferably, the starting positions of the two rows of motor mounting slots 111 are opposite each other and rotate in the same direction to avoid mutual interference.

[0036] In this embodiment, the diameter of the mounting base 11 increases linearly along its axial direction. This linear diameter increase effectively disperses stress, enhancing the overall strength and stability of the mounting base 11 while ensuring secure motor installation. Furthermore, this linear change creates a continuously changing, smooth curved surface on the side of the motor spiral distribution device 1, creating a more visually harmonious appearance.

[0037] In other embodiments, the diameter of the fixing seat 11 can increase nonlinearly, or can be a truncated cone. In some specific applications, the diameter of the fixing seat 11 can be designed to change in multiple stages according to actual needs, that is, it has different increase speeds at different axial positions to adapt to specific installation requirements and space limitations. The fixing seat 11 can also adopt an elliptical cone, a frustum or other complex curved surface structure, or a multi-step step-by-step increase, a streamlined design, etc., to further optimize space utilization and structural strength. In addition, the material and manufacturing process of the fixing seat 11 can also be adjusted according to the specific shape, such as using 3D printing technology or precision casting technology to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the complex structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, in each row of motor mounting slots 111 , the intervals between two adjacent motor mounting slots 111 are equal, thereby ensuring uniformity of motor installation and maximizing space utilization.

[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, in each row of motor mounting slots 111 , the angle difference between adjacent motor mounting slots 111 is equal. For example, the angle difference α can be 10°, 25°, or adjusted according to the specific size and number of the drive motors 12 .

[0040] The equally spaced, angularly spaced motor mounting slots 111 ensure uniform distribution of the motors during installation. This uniformity not only enhances the aesthetics of the entire motor spiral distribution device 1 but, more importantly, helps achieve balanced power transmission. When multiple drive motors 12 operate simultaneously, the even distribution of the drive motors 12 can reduce vibration and stress concentration caused by uneven loads, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the manipulator or the entire machine. This also maximizes space utilization.

[0041] On one side of each motor mounting slot 111, a wiring slot 112 is also provided for routing and managing the cables of the drive motor 12. The width and depth of the wiring slot 112 are designed according to the thickness of the cables of the drive motor 12 to ensure that the cables can pass through and be fixed in the slot smoothly.

[0042] The drive motor 12 can be fixed in more than just a direct insertion into the motor mounting slot 111. This "plug-and-play" approach simplifies the installation process. If greater stability is required or to accommodate a specific working environment, a more sophisticated and reliable fixing structure, such as screws, snaps, or adhesive fixation, can be employed.

[0043] The motor shaft of the drive motor 12 is perpendicular to the axis of the fixing seat 11. This arrangement is conducive to the direct transmission of the output power of the drive motor 12, reduces power loss, improves the stability of the motor installation, and simplifies the motor installation and maintenance process.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, a spiral groove 113 is formed on the side of the fixing base 11 between the two rows of motor mounting grooves 111. The design of the spiral groove 113 can reduce the weight of the fixing base 11 while maintaining its strength and rigidity, thereby improving the overall performance of the fixing base 11.

[0045] Mounting fixtures 114 are provided at both ends of the mounting base 11. These fixtures 114 can utilize plug-in posts, threaded holes, slots, or other connection structures to securely mount the motor spiral distribution device 1 on the robot or manipulator. During installation, fasteners such as bolts and nuts can be used to connect the mounting base 11 to the main structure of the robot or manipulator.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is still possible for a person skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or to replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed to be protected by the present invention.
