Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robot walking wheel technology, specifically relating to an integrated servo wheel module for robots. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent warehousing and logistics and the robotics industry, AGVs, AMRs, and some wheeled robots all use precisely controlled wheels as their motion actuators. However, existing wheels consist of optional components such as motors, reducers, and wheels, which are independent of each other and have a large overall size after assembly. Furthermore, the wheels lack built-in drivers and require external drivers, further increasing space consumption. Therefore, we have designed and proposed an integrated servo wheel module for robots. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as bulky size and lack of built-in drivers, by proposing an integrated servo wheel module for robots. This integrated servo wheel module for robots features a compact layout, saves space, and has a high degree of integration.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] Design an integrated servo wheel module for robots, including a planetary reducer, a rubber wheel, and a motor body. The planetary reducer includes a planet carrier with a matching internal gear ring rotatably connected to it. Multiple planetary gears meshing with the internal gear ring are arranged circumferentially inside the planet carrier. The rubber wheel is fixedly mounted on the internal gear ring, forming an integral structure with the planetary reducer. The motor body is fixedly mounted on one side of the planet carrier. A sun gear meshing with the planetary gears is provided on the output end of the motor body. A motor cover is fixedly mounted on the end of the motor body away from the planetary reducer. A driver for driving the motor body is located inside the motor cover. A terminal block is provided on the motor body, and the terminal block is connected to the driver.
[0006] Furthermore, the motor body is a brushless DC motor.
[0007] Furthermore, the motor body has lugs on both sides, and the lugs have multiple first mounting holes.
[0008] Furthermore, the planetary carrier is provided with a flange for fixing the motor body, the flange is provided with a limiting groove and a fixing hole, and a limiting post is provided on one side of the motor body corresponding to the position of the limiting groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the planetary carrier is provided with a plurality of mounting slots on its circumference for mounting the planetary gears.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer side of the motor cover is provided with heat dissipation teeth, and the heat dissipation teeth are provided with a second mounting hole for installing a cooling fan.
[0011] Furthermore, the feature is that a brake is provided at the end of the motor body away from the output shaft.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the integrated servo wheel module for robots proposed in this utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] (1) The output shaft of the motor body of this utility model is a sun gear structure of a planetary reducer. The motor body is directly installed on the planetary reducer, which is compact and saves space. It solves the problem that the walking wheel motor, reducer and wheels need to be installed separately, and the size is bulky after installation.
[0014] (2) The driver of the motor body of this utility model is integrated into the motor, so no separate driver is required, and the integration is high. This solves the problem that the walking wheels do not have built-in drivers. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 1
[0027] See Figures 1-5An integrated servo wheel module for robots includes a planetary reducer 1, rubber wheels 2, and a motor body 4. The motor body 4 is a brushless DC motor with high torque, stable and reliable operation, and low noise. The planetary reducer 1 includes a planet carrier 11, on which a matching internal gear ring 12 is rotatably connected. A bearing for supporting the rotation of the internal gear ring 12 is provided between the internal gear ring 12 and the planet carrier 11. Multiple planetary gears 3 meshing with the internal gear ring 12 are arranged circumferentially inside the planet carrier 11. The planetary gears 3 are helical, which can increase gear strength and reduce reducer noise. The planetary carrier 11 has multiple mounting slots 14 on its circumference for mounting planetary gears 3. The planetary gears 3 are rotatably connected in the mounting slots 14, so that the outer side of the planetary gears 3 meshes with the internal gear ring 12. The rubber wheel 2 is fixedly mounted on the internal gear ring 12, forming an integral structure with the planetary reducer 1. The motor body 4 is fixedly mounted on one side of the planetary carrier 11. The planetary reducer 1 has threaded holes for connecting the motor body 4 and the rubber wheel 2. Specifically, the planetary carrier 11 has a flange 13 for fixing the motor body 4. The flange 13 has a limiting groove 15 and a fixing hole 16. A limiting post is provided on one side of the motor body 4 corresponding to the position of the limiting groove 15. 45. During assembly, the motor body 4 is initially positioned by inserting the limiting post 45 into the limiting groove 15. Then, the motor body 4 is fixedly connected to the flange 13 by screws. The output end of the motor body 4 is provided with a sun gear 7 that meshes with the planetary gear 3. The sun gear 7 is located in the planet carrier 11 and meshes with the planetary gear 3. The motor body 4 directly drives the planetary gear 3 through the sun gear 7. The planetary gear 3 drives the internal gear ring 12 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the rubber wheel 2. The planetary reducer 1 adopts a transmission method with the planet carrier 11 fixed, the sun gear 7 as input, and the internal gear ring 12 as output. This transmission method is reliable and can withstand large torque output.
[0028] For ease of installation, lugs 42 are provided on both sides of the motor body 4. The lugs 42 are provided with multiple first mounting holes 421. The lugs 42 and the first mounting holes 421 on the lugs 42 are directly arranged on the motor housing and do not occupy other structural positions.
[0029] A motor cover 41 is fixedly provided at the end of the motor body 4 away from the planetary reducer 1. A driver 5 for driving the motor body 4 is provided inside the motor cover 41. A terminal block 43 is provided on the motor body 4, and the terminal block 43 is connected to the driver 5. The motor body 4 can be directly driven to rotate through the driver 5 without the need for an additional motor driver. In order to ensure that the driver 5 has good heat dissipation, heat dissipation teeth 44 are arranged in an array on the outer side of the motor cover 41. The heat dissipation teeth 44 are provided with a second mounting hole 441 for installing a cooling fan. The setting of the heat dissipation teeth 44 can prevent the control circuit board from being damaged by overheating. A second mounting hole 441 for an axial fan is reserved on the heat dissipation teeth 41, so that the driver 5 can be protected by forced heat dissipation by the fan in high-temperature environments.
[0030] This utility model discloses an integrated servo wheel module for robots. It features a compact layout, saves space, and has a high degree of integration. Specifically, conventional walking wheels and drive motors are generally separate structures, requiring couplings or other transitional structures for connection. However, in this utility model, the output shaft of the motor body 4 is the sun gear 7 structure of the planetary reducer 1. The motor body 4 is directly mounted on the planetary reducer 1, eliminating the need for transitional structures and reducing size. Furthermore, the motor housing of the motor body 4 has pre-drilled mounting holes for the servo walking wheel, saving space by not occupying other areas. The rubber wheel 2 is directly mounted on the internal gear ring 12 of the planetary reducer 1's output structure, simplifying installation. The driver 5 of the motor body 1 is integrated within the motor, eliminating the need for a separate driver and achieving a high degree of integration. Specifically, the motor body 4 can be directly mounted on the planetary carrier 11 structure of the planetary reducer 1 as its power source, and the rubber wheel 2 is directly mounted on the internal gear ring 12 structure of the planetary reducer 1. This layout eliminates redundant transitional structures for these three components, saving space.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Reference Figure 2 In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the difference from embodiment 1 is that a brake 6 is provided at the end of the motor body 4 away from the output shaft. The brake 6 is an optional component, a power-off brake, integrated inside the motor housing of the motor body 4, and is used to brake the output shaft of the motor body 4.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
