Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] The reverse planetary roller screw is a high-precision transmission component optimized from the traditional planetary roller screw, especially suitable for scenarios such as humanoid robot joints where there are special requirements for spatial layout, load capacity, and transmission efficiency. Its core feature is that it achieves "reverse drive" through structural innovation, that is, the screw moves actively when the nut is fixed, or the nut outputs power in the reverse direction when the screw is fixed, so as to achieve high-load, high-precision linear or rotary motion conversion within a compact space.
[0003] Existing ball screws have complex structures, unreasonable designs, low transmission accuracy, or large overall dimensions, making them unsuitable for applications with strict volume requirements and unable to meet the application needs of high power density, high precision, small size, and large load electromechanical actuators.

[0014] 1. This utility model provides a reverse planetary roller screw, which includes a driven mechanism and a driving mechanism. The overall structure is simple and reasonably designed. The driven mechanism includes a cylinder with a convex ring at one end and two symmetrically positioned grooves at the other end. The cylinder also has a threaded groove.
