[0026] The cam 4 is the input end of the speed reducer, and rotates at high speed under the driving of the external power source in work. Since the cam 4 is elliptical and is not easy to deform, the flexible bearing 5 installed on the cam 4 becomes elliptical. The flexible bearing 5 deforms under the action of external force, so that the whole outer ring of the flexible bearing 5 deforms proportionally with the cam 4. Since the ellipse has a long axis and a short axis, the flexible bearing 5 also has a long week and a short week. Similarly, the flexspline 3 outside the flexible bearing 5 is also expanded into the shape of the cam 4, forming a long axis and a short axis. The teeth on the long axis of the flexspline 3 mesh with the teeth on the rigid wheel. The teeth on the short axis of the flexspline 3 do not contact any object. At the same time, the teeth on the flexspline 3 are two less than the teeth on the rigid wheel, so that there is a meshing difference when rotating and meshing. Taking the flexspline 3 with one hundred teeth as an example, the rigid wheel has one hundred and two teeth. When the cam 4 rotates one revolution, all the teeth on the flexspline 3 will mesh with the rigid wheel once, but only one hundred teeth on the rigid wheel are meshed. Since the rigid wheel has one hundred and two teeth, it means that two teeth have not been meshed. After one revolution, the meshing difference between the flexspline 3 and the rigid wheel is two teeth. The rigid wheel and the rigid wheel will be deflected. At this time, the flexspline 3 or the rigid wheel is fixed, and the unfixed rigid wheel or flexspline 3 will slowly rotate. In this way, the input end is the cam 4, and the output end is the rigid wheel or the flexspline 3, so as to achieve the effect of speed reduction. The cross bearing 1 is the mounting frame of the rigid wheel and the flexspline 3. The cross bearing outer ring 101 and the cross bearing inner ring 102 can rotate, and the cross rolling ball 103 in the middle can convert sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing resistance. The skeleton oil seal 8 is used to prevent the lubricating grease from overflowing.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
