[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A servo motor in this embodiment, Figure 1 The demonstration showcases two servo motors, including a motor core 1. One end of the motor core 1 has a power output shaft 101, and a planetary gear mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the power output shaft 101. The planetary gear mechanism 2 includes an output shaft disk 203 located at the end of the power output shaft 101, and an output shaft mechanism 3 connected to the output shaft disk 203. The output shaft mechanism 3 includes a helical gear 301 connected to the output shaft disk 203 and a side-output bevel gear 303 meshing with the helical gear 301. The planetary gear mechanism 2 can reduce the output speed of the motor core 1 and increase the output torque, while the output shaft mechanism 3 can change the direction of power output.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The planetary gear mechanism 2 includes a cylindrical reduction gearbox 201. A rack 202 is formed on the inner wall of the reduction gearbox 201. A first-stage planetary gear 210 and a second-stage planetary gear 206 mesh inside the reduction gearbox 201. A planetary gear carrier 208 is provided between the first-stage planetary gear 210 and the second-stage planetary gear 206. A first-stage sun gear 211 is fixedly connected to the power output shaft 101. A second-stage sun gear 207 is fixedly connected to one side of the planetary gear carrier 208, and a first connecting post 209 is fixedly connected to the other side. The first-stage planetary gear 210 and the first-stage sun gear 211 mesh and are connected to the planetary gear carrier 208 through the first connecting post 209. A second connecting post 204 is provided on the output shaft disk 203. The second-stage planetary gear 206 and the second-stage sun gear 207 mesh and are connected to the output shaft disk 203 through the second connecting post 204.

[0035] The power output shaft 101 transmits power to the first-stage planetary gear 210 via the first-stage sun gear 211. The planetary gear then transmits power to the second-stage sun gear 207 via the planet carrier. The second-stage sun gear 207 transmits power to the second-stage planetary gear 206, which in turn transmits power to the output shaft disk 203. The output shaft disk 203 then transmits power to the helical gear 301. By setting up a two-stage planetary gear mechanism 2, multi-stage reduction is achieved, greatly increasing torque and reducing transmission speed. Through the tight fit of the structure, smooth power transmission can be achieved during operation, thus reducing noise and vibration.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The output shaft disk 203 has protruding teeth 205 on the side facing the helical gear 301, and the helical gear 301 has recessed teeth 302 on the side facing the output shaft disk 203. The protruding teeth 205 and the recessed teeth 302 are engaged and connected. This avoids the use of additional connecting parts, improving the structural compactness and ease of assembly.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 The gearbox 201 and the side-exit bevel gear 303 are connected by a fixing frame 4. The fixing frame 4 supports the side-exit bevel gear 303 on the gearbox 201 and keeps the side-exit bevel gear 303 meshing with the helical gear 301. The fixing frame 4 provides support for the side-exit bevel gear 303.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 The side-exit bevel gear 303 is fixedly connected to a cylindrical pin connector 5. The end face of the pin connector 5 has a cross shaft hole 501, and a plurality of circular shaft holes 502 are formed around the cross shaft hole 501.

[0039] Reference Figure 6The end face of the side-exit bevel gear 303 away from the pin connector 5 has a cross groove 304.

[0040] The cross groove 304 can be used to insert external pins. Similarly, the cross shaft hole 501 and the circular shaft hole 502 can also be used to insert external pins. By designing different sizes, external pins of various sizes can be inserted.

[0041] Reference Figure 7 The motor mechanism 1 includes a motor 102, an optical encoder 103 disposed on the end face of the motor 102 opposite to the power output shaft 101, a drive circuit board 104 and a reset circuit board 106 disposed opposite to each other on the side of the motor 102, the drive circuit board 104 and the reset circuit board 106 being electrically connected, the drive circuit board 104 being provided with a photoelectric pair 105, the photoelectric pair 105 measuring the rotational speed of the motor 102 through the optical encoder 103.

[0042] The general principle for measuring rotational speed is that the photoelectric pair 105 is a photoelectric device composed of a light-emitting diode (LED) and a phototransistor. When the motor 102 operates, the photoelectric encoder 103, mounted on the end face of the motor 102 opposite to the power output shaft 101, rotates synchronously. The photoelectric encoder 103 has many evenly distributed transparent and opaque stripes. As the encoder 103 rotates, light emitted from the LED shines through the gaps in the stripes onto the phototransistor. When light shines, the phototransistor conducts, generating an electrical signal; when the light is blocked by the opaque stripes, the phototransistor is cut off, and the electrical signal disappears. The rotational speed and angle of the motor 102 are measured by calculating the signal.

[0043] Reference Figure 7 The reset circuit board 106 is provided with a pin header 107, which extends outward along the axial direction of the motor 102.

[0044] Reference Figure 7 The reset circuit board 106 is equipped with an indicator light 108 and an operation button 109.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The motor core 1 is housed in the lower housing 6 that fixes the motor core 1. The surface of the lower housing 6 is provided with a light guide hole 601 for the indicator light 108 to pass through and an integrated injection molded button 602. The planetary gear mechanism 2 and the output shaft mechanism 3 are housed in the upper housing 7. The upper housing 7 forms a plug plate 701, and the lower housing 6 forms a plug groove 603 corresponding to the plug plate 701.

[0046] The upper housing 7 and the lower housing 6 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0047] The upper housing 7 and the lower housing 6 form a coherent and stable overall structure. The upper housing 7 is divided into a first upper housing 7 and a second upper housing 7, which are fixed together by screws to form the upper housing 7. In this embodiment, the servo motor has an overall rectangular structure with a balanced internal center of gravity, making it easy to hold.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Reference Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment provides another planetary gear mechanism.

[0050] The planetary gear mechanism 2 includes a cylindrical reduction gearbox 201, with a rack 202 formed on the inner wall of the reduction gearbox 201. A first-stage planetary gear 210 is meshed inside the reduction gearbox 201. A first-stage sun gear 211 is fixedly connected to the power output shaft 101. The first-stage planetary gear 210 meshes with the first-stage sun gear 211. The output shaft disk 203 is provided with a second connecting post 204. The first-stage planetary gear 210 meshes with the first-stage sun gear 211 and is connected to the output shaft disk 203 through the second connecting post 204.

[0051] The power output shaft 101 transmits power to the first-stage planetary gear 210 via the first-stage sun gear 211. The first-stage planetary gear 210 then transmits the power to the output shaft disk 203, which in turn transmits the power to the helical gear 301. By setting up a first-stage planetary gear mechanism, speed reduction is achieved, greatly increasing torque and reducing transmission speed. Through the tight fit of the structure, smooth power transmission can be achieved during operation, thus reducing noise and vibration.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
