[0057] The utility model also provides a robot adopting the dual magnetic ring encoder integrated robot joint.

[0058] Working principle: After the joint drive board 10 is powered, the program is started to generate alternating current, which is supplied to the stator 5. After the stator 5 generates an alternating magnetic field, the rotor 6 is caused to rotate. The motor housing 4 and the outer ring of the first bearing 7 remain stationary, and the motor shaft 8 and the inner ring of the first bearing 7 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the outer magnetic ring rotor seat 9 and the outer magnetic ring 16 to rotate. The speed of the outer magnetic ring is equivalent to the speed of the high-speed rotation of the rotor end; because the motor shaft 8 and the wave generator 18 are fixedly connected, the wave is decelerated by the reducer assembly and then transmitted to the steel wheel 19, and the flexible wheel cover 1 As the steel wheel 19 rotates, the inner magnetic ring rotor seat 13 follows, and the inner magnetic ring 15 follows. The speed of the inner magnetic ring 15 is equal to the speed of the output disk of the flexible spline cover, which is the speed of the low-speed end; the drive board 14 receives the speed of the inner magnetic ring 15 and the outer magnetic ring 16, and then feeds back to the joint drive board 10. The joint drive board 10 sends an alternating current based on the actual speed of the two high-speed ends and the low-speed end, combined with the reduction ratio of the harmonic reducer, and circulates it, so that the speed of the controlled output end (steel wheel 19, flexible spline cover 1) is closer to the ideal value.

[0059] The motor rotor of the utility model has a position sensor at the high-speed end, and the output end of the integrated joint also has a position sensor. Both the input and output ends have position sensors, which realizes closed-loop control and makes the control board issue instructions more accurately. Compared with the single magnetic ring encoder integrated joint in the prior art, the rotation accuracy is higher under the same volume. It has high interchangeability, shares many parts with the single magnetic ring encoder integrated joint in the prior art, and has strong modularity, which can support customers to choose single encoding or dual encoding to configure the integrated joint.
