[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Example 1:

[0023] Reference Figures 1-6 A multi-angle bending humanoid robot joint includes a robot joint body 1, a rotating component 11 on the robot joint body 1, a drive unit 10 at one end of the robot joint body 1, and a connecting block 12 installed at the end of the drive unit 10. It also includes a lubrication component 3 on the robot joint body 1, one end of which is connected to the connecting block 12 for lubricating the rotating component 11; a cooling component is provided on the lubrication component 3 to assist in cooling the drive unit 10 when the lubrication component 3 reciprocates.

[0024] In this invention, during operation, the drive unit 10 can drive the rotating component 11 to move, thereby controlling the overall movement of the robot joint body 1. The rotating component 11 includes a reducer, a sensor system, bearings, a rotary actuator, and a linear actuator, each corresponding to different motion requirements. In the rotary actuator, the motor and reducer are combined. By reducing the motor speed and increasing the torque, the joint is driven to perform extensive rotational movements. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. When the drive unit 10 is started, it can drive the lubrication component 3 to run synchronously. The lubrication component 3 can extract and deliver pre-stored lubricant to the rotating component 11 to lubricate the rotating parts, eliminating the trouble of manual operation. At the same time, during this process, the airflow generated by the reciprocating motion of the lubrication component 3 provides auxiliary cooling to the drive unit 10, reducing the occurrence of malfunctions. The drive unit 10 is replaced by a drive motor. Example 2:

[0025] Reference Figures 1-6 A multi-angle bending humanoid robot joint, basically the same as in Embodiment 1, but with a further improvement: the lubrication assembly 3 includes a cam 31 fixed to one end of the connecting block 12, a limiting block 32 attached to the surface of the cam 31, a slide rod 33 fixed to one end of the limiting block 32, a piston 34 fixed to the end of the slide rod 33, the piston 34 slidably connected within the connecting box 35, a return spring 36 fixed between the limiting block 32 and the connecting box 35, the return spring 36 sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 33, a storage component provided on the connecting box 35, the storage component including a storage cavity 37 opened within the connecting box 35, a cover plate 38 provided at one end of the connecting box 35, an extraction tube 39 provided within the storage cavity 37, one end of the extraction tube 39 penetrating the connecting box 35 and communicating with the rodless cavity within the connecting box 35, the extraction tube 39... A one-way valve is provided on the 9th section. A delivery pipe 40 is connected to the top of the connecting box 35. A one-way valve is provided at the connection between the delivery pipe 40 and the connecting box 35. One end of the delivery pipe 40 passes through the robot joint body 1 and is connected to the buffer chamber 41. The buffer chamber 41 is located inside the robot joint body 1. A liquid spray pipe 42 is provided at one end of the buffer chamber 41. An overflow valve is provided on the liquid spray pipe 42. A rod chamber 50 is provided inside the connecting box 35. An air supply pipe 51 is connected to the bottom of the connecting box 35. An arc-shaped rod 52 is fixed at one end of the air supply pipe 51. Air jets 53 are installed on the surface of the arc-shaped rod 52 at equal intervals. A one-way valve is provided between the air supply pipe 51 and the connecting box 35. A mounting plate is fixed on one side of the connecting box 35. The mounting plate is fixed on the robot joint body 1 by screws.

[0026] In this invention, when the piston 34 slides up and down inside the connecting box 35, the lubricant pre-stored in the storage chamber 37 can be drawn into the rodless chamber inside the connecting box 35 through the extraction pipe 39, and then transported to the buffer chamber 41 through the delivery pipe 40. Since a pressure valve is provided on the spray pipe 42, when a certain pressure value is reached, the lubricant is sprayed out through the spray pipe 42, avoiding frequent delivery of lubricating oil and causing waste. Through the above structure, the lubricating oil is automatically added for lubrication maintenance, saving the trouble of manual operation and reducing labor intensity. The contact part between the slide rod 33 and the connecting box 35 has a gap to facilitate the airflow into the rod chamber 50. Then, under the reciprocating motion of the piston 34, the airflow is transported through the air delivery pipe 51 to the arc-shaped rod 52 and sprayed out. The arc-shaped rod 52 points to the drive part 10, thereby providing jet-assisted cooling and heat dissipation to the drive part 10, improving the heat dissipation effect of the drive part 10 and reducing the occurrence of failures due to high temperature.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
