Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dual encoder installation technology for joint modules, and in particular to a dual encoder installation structure for joint modules. Background Technology

[0002] The joint module dual encoder is a technical solution commonly used in robots, servo systems, or high-precision motion control. Its core purpose is to improve the system's detection accuracy and anti-interference capability for position, speed, or torque through the collaborative work of two encoders. The motor-end encoder is installed on the motor shaft and directly measures the position and speed of the motor rotor. The load-end encoder is installed at the output end and directly detects the actual position of the load. Its function is to compensate for transmission chain errors by comparing the position differences between the motor end and the load end, thereby achieving full closed-loop control.

[0003] The installation structure typically refers to the physical layout, component configuration, and connection methods of an object or system during the installation process. It is both the basis for technical implementation and the planning basis for an abstract system. The ultimate goal is to achieve efficient, reliable, and scalable system operation through reasonable configuration. In the process of using joint module dual encoders, it is usually necessary to install the joint module dual encoders onto industrial robots or robotic arms through an installation mechanism.

[0004] When installing the dual encoder of the joint module using the mounting structure, it is usually connected by two sets of flanges. One set of flanges is directly fixed on the surface of the dual encoder of the joint module. However, this means that when it is necessary to install and remove the dual encoder of the joint module later, tools are needed to install and remove the bolts one by one. This is cumbersome and not convenient for quick installation and removal of the dual encoder of the joint module later. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dual encoder mounting structure for a joint module, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dual encoder mounting structure for a joint module includes a flange. A joint module body is mounted on one side of the flange via a positioning mechanism. A first slot is formed inside the flange, and a first mounting post is mounted on the inner wall of the first slot via a reset mechanism. A second slot is formed inside the flange, and a second mounting post is mounted on the inner wall of the second slot via a moving mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning groove formed on one side of the flange, a positioning block is slidably installed on the inner wall of the positioning groove, an installation groove is formed on one side of the positioning block, and one side of the positioning block is fixedly installed on the surface of the joint module body.

[0009] Preferably, the reset mechanism includes a sliding column slidably mounted on the inner wall of the first slot, a sliding plate fixedly mounted on one end of the sliding column, a spring fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the first slot, one end of the spring and one side of the sliding plate being fixedly mounted, and one side of the sliding plate and one end of the first mounting column being fixedly mounted.

[0010] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a threaded rod rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second slot, a moving plate being threadedly fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod, and one side of the moving plate and one end of the second mounting post being fixedly mounted.

[0011] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided through one side of the flange, and the number of threaded holes is multiple and arranged in an array.

[0012] Preferably, there are two sets of positioning grooves, positioning blocks and mounting grooves, with the inner wall of the mounting groove on the left side matching the surface of the first mounting post, and the inner wall of the mounting groove on the right side matching the surface of the second mounting post.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the slide plate is in contact with the inner wall of the first slot, and the surface of the movable plate is in contact with the inner wall of the second slot.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This dual encoder mounting structure for the joint module allows the entire assembly to be installed in the designated position via a flange and threaded holes. A moving mechanism moves the second mounting post away from the inner wall of the right mounting slot, releasing the right-side limiting installation of the joint module body. A reset mechanism moves the first mounting post away from the inner wall of the left mounting slot, releasing the left-side limiting installation of the joint module body, allowing the joint module body to be removed. A positioning mechanism positions the joint module body, and a reset mechanism moves the first mounting post into the inner wall of the left mounting slot, limiting the left-side installation of the joint module body. A moving mechanism moves the second mounting post into the inner wall of the right mounting slot, limiting the right-side installation of the joint module body. This eliminates the need for tools to install and remove bolts individually, enabling rapid installation and removal of the joint module body. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example: Refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a dual encoder mounting structure for a joint module, including a flange 1. A threaded hole 15 is provided through one side of the flange 1. The number of threaded holes 15 is multiple and arranged in an array. A joint module body 5 is mounted on one side of the flange 1 via a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning groove 2 on one side of the flange 1. A positioning block 3 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the positioning groove 2. An installation groove 4 is provided on one side of the positioning block 3. One side of the positioning block 3 is fixedly mounted to the surface of the joint module body 5, facilitating the mounting of the joint module. The assembly body 5 is positioned to make the installation of the joint module body 5 more precise. The flange 1 has a first slot 6 inside. The inner wall of the first slot 6 is equipped with a first mounting post 10 through a reset mechanism. The reset mechanism includes a sliding post 7 that is slidably installed on the inner wall of the first slot 6. A sliding plate 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding post 7. A spring 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first slot 6. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding plate 9. One side of the sliding plate 9 is fixedly installed on one end of the first mounting post 10, which facilitates the movement of the first mounting post 10.

[0022] Specifically, the flange 1 has a second groove 11 inside. A second mounting post 14 is mounted on the inner wall of the second groove 11 via a moving mechanism. The moving mechanism includes a threaded rod 12 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second groove 11. A moving plate 13 is threaded onto the surface of the threaded rod 12. One side of the moving plate 13 and one end of the second mounting post 14 are fixedly mounted to facilitate movement of the second mounting post 14. There are two sets of positioning grooves 2, positioning blocks 3, and mounting grooves 4. The inner wall of the left mounting groove 4 matches the surface of the first mounting post 10, and the inner wall of the right mounting groove 4 matches the surface of the second mounting post 14. The surface of the sliding plate 9 fits against the inner wall of the first groove 6, limiting the movement of the sliding plate 9 and making its movement more stable. The surface of the moving plate 13 fits against the inner wall of the second groove 11, limiting the movement of the moving plate 13 and making its movement more stable. The entire assembly can be moved through the flange 1 and the threaded hole 15. The joint module body 5 is installed in the designated position. The moving mechanism moves the second mounting post 14 away from the inner wall of the right mounting slot 4, thus releasing the right-side limiting installation of the joint module body 5. The reset mechanism moves the first mounting post 10 away from the inner wall of the left mounting slot 4, thus releasing the left-side limiting installation of the joint module body 5, allowing it to be removed. The positioning mechanism positions the joint module body 5. The reset mechanism moves the first mounting post 10 into the inner wall of the left mounting slot 4, thus limiting the left-side installation of the joint module body 5. The moving mechanism moves the second mounting post 14 into the inner wall of the right mounting slot 4, thus limiting the right-side installation of the joint module body 5. This allows for the installation and removal of the joint module body 5 without the need for tools to install and remove bolts individually, achieving rapid installation and removal of the joint module body 5. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0023] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.

[0024] In use: When using this joint module dual encoder mounting structure, the entire assembly can be installed in the designated position via flange 1 and threaded hole 15. Rotating threaded rod 12 moves moving plate 13, which in turn moves second mounting post 14, disengaging it from the inner wall of right mounting groove 4. This releases the right-side limiting installation of joint module body 5. Simultaneously, pulling sliding column 7 moves sliding plate 9, which in turn moves first mounting post 10, disengaging it from the inner wall of left mounting groove 4. This releases the left-side limiting installation of joint module body 5, allowing it to be removed. By inserting the positioning block 3 into the inner wall of the positioning groove 2, the joint module body 5 can be positioned. The spring 8 resets and drives the slide plate 9 to move. The slide plate 9 drives the first mounting post 10 to insert into the inner wall of the left mounting groove 4, thus limiting the installation of the left side of the joint module body 5. By rotating the threaded rod 12, the second mounting post 14 is driven to insert into the inner wall of the right mounting groove 4, thus limiting the installation of the right side of the joint module body 5. This allows for the installation and disassembly of the joint module body 5 without the need for tools to install and remove bolts one by one, achieving the goal of rapid installation and disassembly of the joint module body 5. The structure is simple and easy to use.
