[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a single shock generator side-mounted double-layer roller rolling gear reducer, including an eccentric shaft assembly, a gear carrier assembly, an internal gear ring assembly, and a gear assembly. The gear carrier assembly, internal gear ring assembly, and gear assembly are all mounted outside the eccentric shaft assembly. The gear assembly is mounted inside the internal gear ring assembly. The gear carrier assembly is mounted on both sides of the gear assembly. The internal gear ring assembly, from front to back, includes a main bearing outer ring 301, an internal gear ring 304, an internal gear ring motor mounting base 305, and a right end cover 308 for the internal gear ring assembly. The internal gear ring has a segmented, plate-like structure. The internal gear ring is designed as a three-segment structure, and during machining, it can be connected into a single unit using a ring-shaped tool for gear grinding. The internal gear ring can be assembled with tooling, and a series of ball bearings are used to ensure the concentricity of the internal gear ring 304 and the outer ring 301 of the main bearing. Each segment of the internal gear is connected to the outer ring 301 of the main bearing via at least two pins 303 and a certain number of screws 302, ensuring that the segmented internal gear ring 304 has sufficient load-bearing capacity and that each segment of the internal gear ring 304 has a defined position even without a stop. The reducer adopts a one-tooth difference and eccentric structure with a counterweight structure or a two-tooth difference structure. The tooth profile of the internal gear can be designed as a straight line or a circular arc, and the shock wave generator can be designed according to the shape of the internal gear.

[0029] In a further improvement, the outer ring 301 and the inner gear ring 304 of the main bearing are assembled by the inner gear ring connecting screw 302 and the inner gear ring connecting pin 303. The inner gear ring motor mounting base 305 and the right end cover 308 of the inner gear ring assembly are fixedly connected by the inner gear ring end cover screw 307. The inner side of the inner gear ring motor mounting base 305 is equipped with a live gear outer sealing ring 306.

[0030] Further improvements include having 2-4 segments in the internal gear ring 304, with the internal gear ring 304 and the outer ring 301 of the main bearing being concentric. Each segment of the internal gear ring 304 is connected to the outer ring 301 of the main bearing using a pin 303 and a screw 302. This divides the internal gear ring 304 into 3-4 segments. Figure 1The middle section has 3 lobes (which can be decomposed into one of the following schemes: 2 lobes, 3 lobes, 4 lobes, etc.). The shock wave generator can use an eccentric bearing or a flexible elliptical bearing, and the main bearing adopts an offset structure. This scheme, which uses only one row of live tooth assembly and an offset main bearing, can greatly reduce the length of the reducer and effectively improve the torque density of the reducer.

[0031] In a further improvement, the eccentric shaft assembly consists of a shock wave bearing 103, a left eccentric shaft bearing 106, an eccentric shaft body 107, and a right eccentric shaft bearing 108. The left eccentric shaft bearing 106 is installed at the left end of the eccentric shaft body 107. An eccentric shaft left bearing retaining ring 109 and an eccentric shaft left bearing retaining ring 110 are installed on the outside of the left eccentric shaft bearing 106. The right eccentric shaft bearing 108 is installed at the right end of the eccentric shaft body 107 and is connected to the right end cover 308 of the internal gear ring assembly.

[0032] In a further improvement, the shock bearing 103 is sleeved on the eccentric shaft body 107, and a left retaining ring 104 and a right retaining ring 102 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the shock bearing 103. A left spring retaining ring 105 is installed on the outside of the left retaining ring 104, and a right spring retaining ring 101 is installed on the outside of the right retaining ring 102. The left spring retaining ring 105 and the right spring retaining ring 101 limit the left retaining ring 104 and the right retaining ring 102 respectively.

[0033] In a further improvement, the movable gear frame assembly consists of a movable gear frame body 201, a movable gear frame bearing 202, a movable gear frame right end cover 203, and a movable gear frame main bearing 204. The movable gear frame body 201 is installed outside the left bearing 106 of the eccentric shaft. The movable gear frame bearing 202 is installed on the eccentric shaft body 107 and located between the shock wave bearing 103 and the right bearing 108 of the eccentric shaft. The movable gear frame right end cover 203 is installed outside the movable gear frame bearing 202. The movable gear frame main bearing 204 is installed between the movable gear frame body 201 and the outer ring 301 of the main bearing. The movable gear frame right end cover 203 and the movable gear frame body 201 are connected by resistance welding.

[0034] In a further improvement, the movable tooth assembly consists of a movable tooth ring 401, a K-type assembly 402, an upper spindle 403, and a lower spindle 404. The upper spindle 403 and the lower spindle 404 are located on the outside of the shock wave bearing 103. Two sets of movable tooth rings 401 are provided and are respectively placed on both sides of the upper spindle 403 and the lower spindle 404. The K-type assembly 402 is installed on the inner side of the movable tooth ring 401.

[0035] Working Principle: During operation, the motor stator can be installed in the internal gear ring motor mounting base 305, and the motor rotor can be installed on the right end of the eccentric shaft body 107. If the internal gear ring assembly is fixed, when the eccentric shaft assembly rotates at high speed, its shock wave bearing 103 will push the movable gear assembly to move radially. The upper spindle 403 in the movable gear assembly will move along the surface curvature of the internal teeth of the internal gear ring 304. After being constrained by the internal teeth of the internal gear ring 304, it decomposes into a tangential motion, which is then pushed by the movable gear ring 401 of the movable gear assembly to rotate at low speed, thus achieving a speed reduction effect. That is, when the theoretical number of teeth on the movable gear is Z2 and the shock wave bearing is a common bearing (currently, the number of teeth is 1 / 2 of Z2, and the strength of the movable gear is improved by tooth reduction), for every 1 revolution of the eccentric shaft assembly, the movable gear rotates 1 / Z2 revolutions, achieving a reduction ratio of Z2. When the shock wave bearing is an elliptical or similar elliptical flexible bearing, the reduction ratio is Z2 / 2.

[0036] The present invention comprises: 101, right spring retainer; 102, right retaining ring; 103, shock wave bearing; 104, left retaining ring; 105, left spring retainer; 106, left eccentric shaft bearing; 107, eccentric shaft body; 108, right eccentric shaft bearing; 109, left eccentric shaft bearing retaining ring; 110, left eccentric shaft bearing retainer; 201, movable gear frame body; 202, movable gear frame bearing; 203, right end cover of movable gear frame; 204, main bearing of movable gear frame; 301, outer ring of main bearing; 302, internal gear ring connecting screw; 303, internal gear ring connecting pin; 304, internal gear ring; 305. Internal gear ring motor mounting base; 306. External sealing ring of the movable gear frame; 307. Internal gear ring end cap screw; 308. Right end cap of the internal gear ring assembly; 401. Movable gear sleeve; 402. K-type assembly; 403. Upper mandrel; 404. Lower mandrel. All components are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The problem solved by this utility model is that current harmonic reducers have low transmission efficiency and poor transmission stiffness, and are difficult to implement the reverse transmission function required by humanoid robots. Planetary reducers have low stiffness, large transmission clearance, and small single-stage reduction ratio, usually requiring multiple stages to achieve a larger reduction ratio. The RV reducer suffers from a complex structure, and the manufacturing of small-diameter RV reducers is difficult and costly. This invention addresses these issues through the combination of the aforementioned components. This invention achieves the following: 1) Higher transmission efficiency than planetary reducers and harmonic reducers, lower operating temperature, and extended operating time by more than 30% compared to harmonic reducers; 2) Larger tooth profile and a higher proportion of meshing teeth compared to harmonic reducers, resulting in higher transmission rigidity and eliminating tooth skipping; 3) High transmission efficiency and a complete solution to grease leakage problems; 4) Elimination of the flexible gears in harmonic reducers lowers material requirements and reduce the reducer's axial length. With proper process optimization and cost control of the live gear assembly, the overall manufacturing cost of the reducer is lower.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
