[0002] Harmonic reducer is a new type of gear transmission mechanism, which is composed of three parts: rigid gear (referred to as 'rigid wheel') with internal teeth, deformable flexible gear (referred to as 'flexible wheel') with external teeth and wave generator (referred to as 'wave generator') with elliptical contour line. Because of its wide speed ratio range, stable transmission, high efficiency, high precision, large load and many other advantages, it is widely used in robotics, aerospace, medical devices and other industries. However, due to its structural characteristics, harmonic reducer does not have self locking function, and cannot brake in time when it is reversed due to excessive load and other factors, so as to avoid safety hazards, protect the motor or achieve the purpose of equipment stop. Therefore, technical personnel need to design a harmonic reducer with self locking function. SUMMARY

[0005] Preferably, the turbine is arranged at the end of the wave generator away from the flexible wheel and is an integral coaxial structure with the wave generator.

[0007] The beneficial effects produced by the above technical scheme are that the turbine worm transmission pair is added, the worm is the input end of the entire harmonic reducer, the worm rotates to drive the turbine to rotate, the turbine drives the wave generator to rotate, the turbine is equivalent to the input end of the harmonic reducer transmission pair, the flexspline is the output end of the harmonic reducer transmission pair and also the output end of the entire harmonic reducer. Since the turbine worm can realize self-locking through parameter design, the entire harmonic reducer also has self-locking property. When an accident occurs, the equipment can be stopped in time by braking to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents and protect the motor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
