Numerical designations such as "first" and "second" are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.

[0019] Example 1: An electrical rotary joint that is easy to switch angles, see Figures 1-4As shown, it includes a sleeve 1, a rotating sleeve 2, a rotating shaft 3, a fixed disk 4, a first connecting pipe 6, a first solenoid valve 7, a first connecting pipe 8, a first connecting head 10, a second connecting pipe 12, a second connecting pipe 13, a second solenoid valve 14 and a second connecting head 16. A rotating sleeve 2 is rotatably arranged inside the sleeve 1. Three connecting plates 15 are fixedly connected to the upper part of the sleeve 1 along the circumferential direction. The connecting plates 15 are provided with mounting holes. The sleeve 1 is fixed by passing bolts through the mounting holes on the connecting plates 15. The rotating sleeve 2 is penetrated by a rotating shaft 3. Both ends of the rotating shaft 3 are connected to couplings 26 at the upper and lower ends. The rotating shaft 3 is connected to the driving component through the coupling 26. One end of the rotating sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed disk 4 by welding. The rotating shaft 3 penetrates the fixed disk 4. Ventilation grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the fixed disk 4. A first annular groove 5 is provided in the middle of the sleeve 1. The right side of the sleeve 1 is connected to a first connecting pipe 6 connected to the first annular groove 5. The right end of the first connecting pipe 6 is installed by bolt connection. The first solenoid valve 7, the ventilation groove 9 on the right is connected to the first annular groove 5 through the first connecting pipe 8, the second annular groove 11 is opened in the upper part of the sleeve 1, and the left side of the sleeve 1 is connected to a second connecting pipe 13 connected to the second annular groove 11, and the left end of the second connecting pipe 13 is installed with a second solenoid valve 14, the second annular groove 11 and the ventilation groove 9 on the left are connected through a second connecting pipe 12, and also include a support plate 17, a Hall sensor 18 and a signal disk 19, a support plate 17 is installed on the right side of the sleeve 1, and a Hall sensor 18 is installed on the support plate 17 by bolt connection. The Hall sensor 18 is composed of a Hall chip and a permanent magnet. A signal disk 19 is installed on the rotating shaft 3, and the Hall sensor 18 is connected to the first solenoid valve 7 and the second solenoid valve 14 signals. The Hall sensor 18 and the signal disk 19 are at the same horizontal height. The signal disk 19 is provided with missing teeth, and the missing teeth are used to provide a missing tooth signal to the industrial computer through the Hall sensor 18.

[0020] When using an electrical rotary joint, first connect the Hall sensor 18, the first solenoid valve 7 and the second solenoid valve 14 to the industrial computer, use bolts to pass through the mounting holes on the connecting plate 15 to fix the sleeve 1, and then connect the rotating shaft 3 to the output shaft of the driving device through the coupling 26, then connect one output end of the air pump to the first solenoid valve 7, and the other output end of the air pump to the second solenoid valve 14, and then connect the two pneumatic components to the first connector 10 and the second connector 16 respectively, and then start the driving device. The output shaft of the driving device drives the rotating shaft 3, the rotating sleeve 2, the fixed disk 4 and the signal disk 19 to rotate through the coupling 26, and then start the air pump. The others enter the first connecting pipe 6 and the second connecting pipe 13 respectively through the first solenoid valve 7 and the second solenoid valve 14, and then enter the first annular groove 5 and the second annular groove 11 respectively because the first connecting pipe 6 and the second connecting pipe 13 enter the two ventilation pipes respectively through the first connecting pipe 8 and the second connecting pipe 12. The gas is discharged from the slot 9 through the first connector 10 and the second connector 16, thereby realizing the control of the pneumatic components in the two rotating states. When the pneumatic component needs to be controlled to disconnect when it rotates to a specific angle, the angle to be disconnected is input on the industrial computer, and the shaft 3 drives the signal disk 19 to rotate, so that the tooth gap between the Hall sensor 18 and the signal teeth on the signal disk 19 changes, and the magnetic field strength of the Hall sensor 18 also changes. The missing tooth is used to provide a missing tooth signal to the industrial computer through the Hall sensor 18, so as to calculate the angle of rotation of the signal disk 19. When the shaft 3 drives the angle of the first connector 10 and the second connector 16 through the fixed disk 4, the Hall sensor 18 transmits the rotation angle signal to the industrial computer. The industrial computer controls the first solenoid valve 7 and the second solenoid valve 14 to open or close, so that the pneumatic component is in a closed state when it rotates to the specified angle, thereby achieving the purpose of conveniently controlling the switching angle of the electrical rotary joint.

[0021] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an annular sleeve 21 and a bearing 22. Two annular grooves 20 are opened in the lower part of the sleeve 1. Two annular sleeves 21 are installed at the lower part of the rotating sleeve 2. Bearings 22 are installed on the annular sleeves 21. The bearings 22 slide in adjacent annular grooves 20.

[0022] When the rotating shaft 3 drives the rotating sleeve 2 to rotate, the rotating sleeve 2 drives the annular sleeve 21 and the bearing 22 to slide in the annular groove 20, so that the rotating sleeve 2 rotates smoothly in the sleeve 1 and reduces the resistance of the rotating sleeve 2 during rotation.

[0023] See Figure 4As shown, it also includes a first oil guide pipe 24 and a second oil guide pipe 25. An annular oil guide groove 23 is opened on the sleeve 1 and the rotating sleeve 2. The annular oil guide groove 23 on the sleeve 1 and the rotating sleeve 2 together form an annular groove. The first oil guide pipe 24 connected to the annular oil guide groove 23 passes through the upper part of the rotating sleeve 2, and the annular oil guide groove 23 is connected to the annular slide 20 through the second oil guide pipe 25.

[0024] By adding lubricating oil into the first oil guide pipe 24, the lubricating oil enters the annular oil guide groove 23 through the first oil guide pipe 24, then enters the second oil guide pipe 25 from the annular oil guide groove 23, and then falls on the bearing 22 from the second oil guide pipe 25, thereby achieving the purpose of lubricating the bearing 22 and reducing the resistance of the rotating sleeve 2 when rotating.

[0025] The above embodiments are provided for persons familiar with the art to implement or use the present invention. Personnel familiar with the art may make various modifications or changes to the above embodiments without departing from the utility model concept of the present invention.
