Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of servo motor technology, specifically a flexible coupling for servo motors. Background Technology

[0002] A servo motor is an engine that controls the operation of mechanical components in a servo system. It is an auxiliary motor indirect speed-changing device. Servo motors can control speed with very high positional accuracy, converting voltage signals into torque and speed to drive the controlled object. A servo motor flexible coupling is a coupling capable of producing minute elastic deformation within a certain range to adapt to axial and angular displacements that may occur during movement. It is mainly used in applications requiring the resistance to large axial and angular displacements, such as conveying machinery, pumps, and compressors. A servo motor flexible coupling typically consists of two hubs and an intermediate elastic component, such as a spring or toothed rod. This design allows the coupling to undergo minute elastic deformation within a certain range, thus adapting to various displacement and angular changes during movement.

[0003] As described in application number CN201721403542.9, this utility model provides a high-strength flexible coupling, comprising an intermediate connecting body and a first fixed sleeve and a second fixed sleeve connected to its two sides. The intermediate connecting body includes a corrugated tube body in the middle, with connecting portions on both sides for connecting to the first or second fixed sleeve. Metal reinforcing sleeves are provided on the inner wall of the first fixed sleeve away from the second fixed sleeve, and on the inner wall of the second fixed sleeve away from the first fixed sleeve. Several grooves are alternately formed on the first and second fixed sleeves at locations without metal reinforcing sleeves. The grooves are arranged along the outer circumference of the corresponding fixed sleeves. This utility model has a reasonable structural design; the corrugated tube body of the intermediate connecting body provides strong torsional resistance and high structural strength. Even under heavy loads and complex working conditions, it can work stably for a long time and is not easily damaged.

[0004] The above applications currently have the following shortcomings: Unstable elastic structures can cause noise and vibration during operation.

[0005] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed a flexible coupling for servo motors in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content
