The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0036] Please see Figures 1-9The diagram shows a schematic of a miniature brushless DC geared motor provided in one embodiment of the present invention. This miniature brushless DC geared motor is used to connect to a robot joint. The motor includes a housing 100, a power mechanism 200 disposed within the housing 100, a reduction mechanism 300 disposed on the power mechanism 200, and a control mechanism 400 for controlling the power mechanism 200.
[0037] To protect the power mechanism 200, the deceleration mechanism 300, and the control mechanism 400, the housing mechanism 100 includes an upper housing 110 and a lower housing 120 movably connected to the upper housing 110. The upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 can be connected by fasteners 500 or fastened together to enclose the power mechanism 200, the deceleration mechanism 300, and the control mechanism 400 inside, so as to prevent the above-mentioned mechanisms from being affected by severe weather when the UAV is flying.
[0038] In order to provide output torque, the power mechanism 200 includes a motor stator 210 disposed in the upper housing 110 and a motor rotor 220 disposed on the inner periphery of the motor stator 210. The motor rotor 220 rotates within the motor stator 210 to drive the reduction mechanism 300 to rotate, thereby amplifying the output torque through the reduction mechanism 300 and driving the robot joint to rotate.
[0039] To enable the motor rotor 220 to rotate, a control mechanism 400 is provided between the motor rotor 220 and the upper housing 110. The control mechanism 400 includes a control circuit board 410 and an encoder circuit board 420 located at the end of the motor rotor 220 away from the motor stator 210. At the same time, a sensing magnet 430 is provided directly below the encoder circuit board 420, that is, at the top center of the motor rotor 220. When the micro brushless DC geared motor is powered on, a magnetic field is generated. The sensing magnet 430 is affected by the magnetic field repulsion and rotates, thereby driving the motor rotor 220 to rotate within the inner circumference of the motor stator 210, which in turn drives the reduction mechanism 300 to rotate, ultimately amplifying the output torque.
[0040] Furthermore, to secure the motor stator 210, a plurality of locking members 130 are provided between the motor stator 210 and the lower housing 120. The locking members 130 are respectively embedded in the motor stator 210 and the lower housing 120 on both sides. Since the lower housing 120 and the upper housing 110 do not rotate and are directly connected to the UAV, the locking members 130 secure the motor stator 210 to the inner circumference of the lower housing 120. Simultaneously, the lower housing 120 also provides support for the power mechanism 200, the reduction mechanism 300, and the control mechanism 400.
[0041] In order to amplify the output torque, the reduction mechanism 300 includes a primary reduction component 310 disposed inside the motor rotor 220 and a secondary reduction component 320 disposed inside the housing mechanism 100. The secondary reduction component 320 is disposed between the motor rotor 220 and the housing mechanism 100 and is used to connect to the robot joint so as to amplify the output torque and drive the robot joint to rotate.
[0042] It should be noted that the gears in this embodiment are all equipped with connecting rods to engage the planetary carrier or connecting parts, ensuring gear rotation. To achieve a single-stage amplification of output torque, the first-stage reduction assembly 310 includes a first-stage planetary reducer 311 connected to the motor rotor 220 via fasteners 500, and a first-stage planetary carrier 314 disposed on the first-stage planetary reducer 311 and used to connect to the second-stage reduction assembly 320. A first connecting part 315 is provided between the first-stage planetary reducer 311 and the motor rotor 220. The first-stage planetary reducer 311 includes a first-stage main gear 312 and several first-stage secondary gears 313 meshing with the first-stage main gear 312. One end of the first-stage main gear 312 is engaged with the first connecting part 315, and the first connecting part 315 is connected to the motor rotor 220 via fasteners 500.
[0043] Fastener 500 passes through motor rotor 220 and connects to first connector 315. Simultaneously, one end of primary gear 312 passes into and is engaged within the first connector 315, allowing motor rotor 220 to drive primary gear 312 to rotate via the first connector 315, which in turn drives primary secondary gear 313 meshing with primary gear 312. Since several primary secondary gears 313 are engaged with primary planetary carrier 314, they also drive primary planetary carrier 314 to rotate. To ensure smooth rotation of the primary secondary gears 313, a primary gear ring 316 is also provided outside the primary secondary gears 313.
[0044] To achieve two-stage amplification of output torque, the two-stage reduction assembly 320 includes a two-stage planetary reducer 321 and a two-stage planetary carrier 324 located at the end of the two-stage planetary reducer 321 away from the first-stage main gear 312. The two-stage planetary reducer 321 is engaged with the first-stage planetary carrier 314 and rotates with it. The two-stage planetary reducer 321 includes a two-stage main gear 322 and several two-stage secondary gears 323 meshing with the two-stage main gear 322. The two-stage main gear 322 is engaged at the end of the first-stage planetary carrier 314 away from the secondary gears to rotate with it. The two-stage secondary gears 323 are engaged with the two-stage planetary carrier 324 to drive it to rotate.
[0045] The primary secondary gear 313 drives the primary planetary carrier 314 to rotate, which in turn drives the secondary primary gear 322 mounted on the primary planetary carrier 314 to rotate. The secondary secondary gear 323 meshing with the secondary primary gear 322 also rotates. Similarly, secondary gear rings 326 are provided on the outer circumference of several secondary secondary gears 323. Since the secondary secondary gears 323 are engaged on the secondary planetary carrier 324, the secondary planetary carrier 324 rotates with the secondary secondary gears 323, ultimately driving the robot joints connected to the secondary planetary carrier 324 to rotate.
[0046] It should be noted that a second connecting member 325 is sleeved on the aforementioned deceleration mechanism 300. The second connecting member 325 is connected to the lower housing 120 through a fastener 500. While maintaining the stable rotation of the deceleration mechanism 300, it also prevents foreign objects from entering the deceleration mechanism 300 and affecting the amplification of the output torque.
[0047] In summary, the miniature brushless DC geared motor proposed in this utility model utilizes the internal space of the motor rotor by setting a primary reduction component inside the motor rotor and a secondary reduction component between the motor rotor and the housing mechanism. The primary and secondary reduction components also increase the reduction ratio and improve the output torque. Specifically, the power mechanism includes a motor stator located within the housing mechanism and a motor rotor located on the inner circumference of the motor stator. The reduction mechanism includes a primary reduction component inside the motor rotor and a secondary reduction component located within the housing mechanism. The secondary reduction component is located between the motor rotor and the housing mechanism and is used to connect to the robot joint. When the motor is energized, it generates a magnetic field, driving the motor rotor to rotate. The control mechanism controls the output torque, driving the primary reduction component connected to the motor rotor to rotate, which in turn drives the secondary reduction component to rotate. Since the propeller is connected to the secondary reduction component, it ultimately drives the robot joint to rotate, achieving amplified torque output.
