[0002] A handling robot arm is an intelligent mechanical device that can automatically perform object handling tasks. The handling robot arm receives instructions through the control system, and the drive system drives the joint movement of the robot arm so that the end effector reaches the target position. Then, the end effector grabs the object according to the task requirements and moves the object to the designated location. In this process, a rotating mechanism is required to realize the movement of the joint. The rotating mechanism is usually composed of a drive motor, a reducer and a transmission device. The transmission device of the existing rotating mechanism mostly uses a belt drive, which has the following disadvantages: First, the synchronous belt will gradually produce plastic deformation due to repeated stretching, bending and friction. This deformation will cause the length of the belt to increase, making the synchronous belt gradually loose in the transmission system. Therefore, the tensioning device needs to be adjusted regularly, resulting in increased maintenance costs; second, the synchronous belt of the existing transmission device has poor strength and is prone to cracking and wear. After the teeth of the synchronous belt are worn, they are prone to slipping. Utility Model Content

[0020] Working principle: When using the present invention, the robot arm is installed on the axle of the driven wheel 22, and the motor 12 is used to drive the worm 13, the worm 13 drives the driving wheel 2, and the driving wheel 2 drives the driven wheel 22 via the synchronous belt 3, thereby driving the robot arm to rotate. In this process, the worm 13 drives the worm wheel 14, and the rotating shaft 15 on the worm wheel 14 rotates accordingly. The first toothed disc 16 on the rotating shaft 15 drives the second toothed disc 17, and the second toothed disc 17 drives the threaded rod 110 via the guide rod 18. The threaded rod 110 drives the slider 111, so that the slider 111 slides down along the guide rail 112, thereby driving the tensioning wheel 21 on the mounting plate 24 to move downward and tighten the synchronous belt 3. When the tensioning force is small, the resistance encountered by the slider 111 is also small. At this time, the first toothed disc 16 drives the second toothed disc 17, and the second toothed disc 17 drives the threaded rod 110 via the guide rod 18. The threaded rod 110 drives the slider 111, so that the slider 111 slides down along the guide rail 112, thereby driving the tensioning wheel 21 on the mounting plate 24 to move downward and tighten the synchronous belt 3. When the tensioning force is small, the resistance encountered by the slider 111 is also small. 16 can drive the second toothed disc 17 to rotate. When the tensioning force is large, the elastic force of the spring 19 cannot make the second toothed disc 17 fit into the first toothed disc 16. The first toothed disc 16 will squeeze and push the second toothed disc 17 to move upward. At this time, the second toothed disc 17 cannot drive the guide rod 18, and the position of the tensioning wheel 21 remains unchanged; when the worm 13 rotates in the opposite direction, the ratchet 116 prevents the rotation of the ratchet 113, so the threaded rod 110 cannot rotate and the slider 111 cannot move upward; wherein, the mounting seat 114 is used to install the spring piece 115 and the ratchet 116, the spring piece 115 is used to provide a reset elastic force for the ratchet 116, the tooth groove 23 is used to cooperate with the connecting rod 32, the steel wire 31 is used to increase the strength of the synchronous belt 3, and the rubber layer 33 is used to reduce vibration and increase friction.
