A specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the first encoder stator 4 of the first encoder and the second encoder stator 7 of the second encoder are respectively fixed to the upper and lower sides of the encoder stator flange A6 by screws. Preferably, the screws of the first encoder stator 4 and the second encoder stator 7 are arranged coaxially to facilitate the installation of the screw holes of the encoder stator flange A6.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 1 、 2 As shown:

[0042] The encoder stator flange B17 is an annular clamp structure with several stud holes 171 formed on its exterior, allowing it to be secured to the housing 15 via studs. A third notch 172, connecting the axial portion and the annular portion, is formed within the flange. The axial portion of the third notch 172 engages a set screw or bolt, securing the encoder stator flange A6 to the encoder stator flange B17. By tightening the set screw or bolt, the distance between the encoder stator and rotor can be adjusted or fine-tuned, correcting the parallelism between the stator and rotor, improving their parallelism, and reducing robot anomalies caused by poor parallelism.

[0043] Preferably, the upper and lower sides of the encoder stator flange A are connected to the first encoder stator and the second encoder stator by screws respectively. The distance between the first encoder stator and the second encoder stator can be adjusted by the screws, and the encoder stator flange A is held by the encoder stator flange B, thereby adjusting the gap between the two encoders; the dual encoder structure installation can meet the encoder installation requirements and ensure stable large-scale assembly; and the encoder stator flange A6 and the encoder stator flange B17 can be prevented from displacement by fixing screws or fixing bolts.

[0044] The encoder moving disc flange 3 is connected to the shaft connected to the output end cover of the reducer. For example, the encoder moving disc flange 3 is provided with a radial through threaded hole, and a matching fastening screw is screwed into the threaded hole to realize the top connection with the shaft connected to the output end cover of the reducer to fix the encoder moving disc flange 3.

[0045] A feasible implementation plan:

[0046] Refer to the attached Figure 4-6 The encoder moving disc flange 3 adopts a clamp structure.

[0047] A plurality of first notches 31 are formed parallel to the axial direction within the encoder rotor flange 3. A second notch 32 is formed circumferentially connected to the upper opening of the encoder rotor flange 3. Fixing bolts or screws pass through the encoder rotor flange 3 to clamp the reducer output end cover 141 and tighten the encoder rotor flange 3 through deformation. The second notches 32 have the same shape and structure as the third notch 172.

[0048] In a specific implementation scheme, the encoder movable disc flange 3 is provided with a first notch 31 that passes through the upper and lower end surfaces, such as parallel to the axial direction, so that the encoder movable disc flange 3 has a certain amount of compression, reduces stress, and prevents material breakage after locking; the encoder movable disc flange 3 is circumferentially connected to the axial upper end opening to form a second notch 32, refer to the attached Figure 5 The second slot 32 is L-shaped, providing space for movement during the tightening process. A fixing bolt or a fixing screw is used as a connecting component to pass through the second slot 32 of the encoder movable disk flange 3, and the encoder movable disk flange 3 is tightened by tightening it, so that the encoder movable disk flange 3 is deformed, and then the reducer output end cover 141 is clamped.

[0049] The mounting surface is matched with the shaft clearance connected to the output end cover of the reducer to ensure the compression amount of movement.

[0050] Refer to the attached Figure 7 A plurality of screw holes are provided in the circumferential direction of the encoder stator flange A6 so as to mount the first encoder stator 4 and the second encoder stator 7 through the screw holes.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] Combined with attachment Figure 1 As shown, a robot includes a robot dual encoder assembly as described in Example 2, a shell, a rear cover 16 covering the shell 15, a reducer and a motor; the frameless torque motor is transmission-connected to the reducer; the encoder static disk flange B is connected to the shell; the first encoder dynamic disk of the first encoder is connected to the shaft connected to the output end cover of the reducer; the second encoder dynamic disk of the second encoder is connected to the brake; and the brake is respectively connected to the frameless torque motor and the shell.

[0053] The reducer 14 is selected from a harmonic reducer, and includes a general harmonic reducer structure including a reducer output end cover 141 , a reducer first bearing 142 , a reducer wave generator 143 , a reducer second bearing 144 , a reducer rear end cover 145 , and the like.

[0054] The motor includes a frameless torque motor structure including a frameless torque motor stator 11, a frameless torque motor rotor 12 and a rotor shaft 13. The frameless torque motor is fixed to a housing 15 by bonding.

[0055] Refer to the attached Figure 3 As shown, the brake 9 is provided with a first mounting hole 91 and a second mounting hole 92.

[0057] The installation method of the two encoders of the present invention is novel, especially the installation of the first encoder stator 4 and the first encoder moving disk 5. The encoder stator flange A6 is held by the encoder stator flange B17 fixing screws or fixing bolts. During this period, the encoder stator flange A6 can be adjusted in height, thereby playing the role of adjusting the gap between the two encoders. The encoder moving disk flange 3 holds the shaft extending from the front of the reducer output end cover 141. The traditional structure uses a set screw to lock the shaft of the reducer output end cover 141. This structure will lose the coaxiality and parallelism of the structure itself. Therefore, the utility model adopts the method of holding the reducer output end cover to effectively solve this problem. The second encoder stator 7 is fixed to the encoder stator flange A6 by reverse rotation, which effectively saves structural parts and simplifies the internal structure. The second encoder moving disk 8 is fixed to the brake 9, and the brake 9 is fixed to the rotor shaft 13. Through the series connection, the connection of structural parts is reduced and the space structure is saved.

It should be understood that those skilled in the art can design many other modifications and implementations, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed in this application.
