When cleaning is needed, only the bolts need to be removed, the end cover and output disc 5 can be removed, and the internal structure of the gear is exposed. The outer surface of the flexible gear body 1 is smooth, without complex grooves and gaps, impurities are not easy to adhere, and the use of compressed air or cleaning agent and other tools can easily clean the dust, oil stains and other impurities on the inner and outer surfaces of the flexible gear, so that the flexible gear can work in a clean environment, prolong the service life and improve the working accuracy
[0026] As shown in Figure 1 Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the flexspline body 1 is provided with gear grooves 11, which are matched with the surface of the output shaft 4, and the surface of the flexspline body 1 is provided with a flexible support ring 12, which should have certain flexibility and resilience. This convenient cleaning design is especially suitable for industrial robots working in harsh environments such as dust and oil stains, reduces the maintenance workload and downtime, and improves production efficiency.
