Detailed Implementation

[0053] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application, the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this section is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

A 00 connection is used to form a seal between the drive mechanism and the transmission mechanism; one end of the air circuit adapter 320 is connected to the fixed base 310 and the other end is connected to the main sealing cover 110 for supplying air to the chuck; the protection mechanism includes an air inlet pipe 400 and an oil outlet pipe 410; the air inlet pipe 400 includes three output ends, which are respectively connected to the fixed base 310 and the air circuit adapter 320, and communicate with the inner cavity of the housing 100 for forming positive pressure protection; one end of the oil outlet pipe 410 extends to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 100, and a vacuum generator 411 is installed at the other end.

[0055] In this embodiment, the chuck 120 is mounted on the outside of the housing 100 via the rotating spindle 300, and the docking point with the housing 100 is sealed by the main sealing cover 110; the rotating spindle 300 is connected to the housing 100 via the fixed seat 310, and the end away from the chuck 120 is driven by the harmonic reducer 200.

[0056] In this embodiment, one end of the fixed seat 310 is fixed and sealed to the harmonic reducer 200 via a flange, and the other end is connected to the main sealing cover 110 via an air passage adapter 320. The air passage adapter 320 is sleeved on the rotating spindle 300, with one end fitted and sealed to the main sealing cover 110, and the other end abutting against the end of the fixed seat 310.

The connection to the inner cavity of the housing 100 creates positive pressure inside the housing 100, thereby counteracting external hydraulic pressure on the sealing ring and improving the sealing effect. The connection to the air path adapter 320 creates positive pressure at the connection between the main sealing cover 110 and the housing 100, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0058] In this embodiment, the bottom of the air circuit adapter 320 is also provided with a first oil drain hole; one end of the first oil drain hole is connected to the positive pressure protection area between the air circuit adapter 320 and the main sealing cover 110, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the housing 100, so as to maintain positive pressure protection and allow for rapid discharge after oil leakage occurs; at the same time, the bottom of the fixed seat 310 is also provided with a second oil drain hole. When the oil leakage between the air circuit adapter 320 and the main sealing cover 110 cannot be discharged quickly, the oil will continue to flow into the fixed seat 310. At this time, the second oil drain hole can assist in oil discharge, thereby preventing it from entering the harmonic reducer 200.

The height detected by the liquid level sensor is relatively higher than the oil discharge height of the oil drain pipe 410. When the oil leakage rate exceeds the oil discharge rate, the liquid level will rise, thereby triggering the alarm of the liquid level sensor.
