[0015] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.

[0017] Example

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3The existing insulated crank arm consists of a metal crank arm head 4 at one end, an insulated crank arm head at the other end, and a metal threaded rod 3 in the middle. The two crank arm heads are fixed with nuts 10. The disadvantage of the existing technology is that the insulation part is located at the connection point with the equipment. The insulated crank arm head will solidify in high temperature or harsh environment, affecting the normal operation of the encoder. In addition, it is expensive.

[0019] Therefore, this application protects a low-cost, high-insulation-performance crank arm device based on a composite structure. Three pairs of heat dissipation reinforcing blocks 6 on the hexagonal insert block 7 are movably inserted into the inner side of the insert groove 5 on the hexagonal insulating rod 1. Two metal threaded rods 3 are coated with AB glue and screwed into the inner side of the threaded holes 2 on both sides of the hexagonal insulating rod 1, ensuring that the two metal threaded rods 3 do not touch each other. After air drying, two nuts 10 are screwed into the two metal threaded rods 3 respectively. The nuts 10 move along the metal threaded rods 3, pressing and fixing the hexagonal insert block 7, thereby pressing the hexagonal insert block 7 and the heat dissipation reinforcing blocks 6 on it, thus tightly pressing and fixing the heat dissipation reinforcing blocks 6 into the inner side of the insert groove 5. Then, two metal crank arm heads 4 are screwed into the threaded rods respectively, and the nuts 10 are used to lock the two metal crank arm heads 4. The heat dissipation reinforcing blocks 6 strengthen the hardness of the hexagonal insulating rod 1, while the auxiliary connecting rods 9 inside the auxiliary connecting grooves 8 between the six pairs of insert grooves 5 provide auxiliary reinforcement.

[0020] In summary, the hexagonal insulating rod 1 is made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The rod has six pairs of symmetrically distributed insertion slots 5 along its axial direction, and threaded holes 2 with AB adhesive coating at both ends. Six pairs of heat dissipation reinforcement blocks 6 are mechanically interlocked into the insertion slots 5, forming a three-dimensional support network between adjacent heat dissipation reinforcement blocks 6 via auxiliary connecting rods 9. Tin-plated metal threaded rods 3 are screwed in using a non-contact layout, ensuring an electrical clearance of at least 5mm between the two rods. After the adhesive cures to form a multi-layered insulating barrier, an axial preload is applied to the hexagonal insertion blocks 7 using a back-to-back locking structure with double nuts 10, ensuring a tight molecular-level bond between the PEEK matrix and the ceramic heat dissipation layer. Finally, a metal crank head 4 with an insulating bushing is assembled to the end of the threaded rod using an interference fit.

[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
