It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.

[0049] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0050] The following describes a servo driver 100 and a servo system according to some embodiments of the present application with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8 .

[0051] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one embodiment of the present application, a servo driver 100 is proposed. The servo driver 100 includes a base 110, a shell 120, a circuit board 140, an encoder terminal 150, a cover 160, an elastic member 180, a battery 190 and a battery cover 200. The base 110 includes a first body 112 and a support portion 114. The first body 112 is the main structural component of the base 110. The support portion 114 is connected to the first body 112, and the support portion 114 can play a supporting and connecting role.

[0052] The shell 120 is connected to the support portion 114 , thereby indirectly connecting the shell 120 and the first body 112 . The shell 120 and the first body 112 define a receiving cavity 130 . The support portion 114 facilitates the assembly of the shell 120 and the base 110 .

[0053] The circuit board 140 is mounted on the support portion 114 and located within the housing cavity 130. The support portion 114 provides a suitable mounting location for the circuit board 140. The circuit board 140 can perform functions such as signal transmission, power management, signal processing, control and logic, data conversion, and current protection.

[0054] Encoder terminals 150 are located on circuit board 140. An encoder is a signal encoder used to convert motion or position. Encoder terminals 150 serve as the interface for the encoder to receive power. Encoder terminals 150 are located on circuit board 140 and work in conjunction with circuit board 140 to convert physical motion into digital signals, enabling measurement and control of the original motion signal.

[0055] The cover 160 is connected to the housing 120 and is located on the side of the accommodating cavity 130 away from the first body 112. The cover 160 includes a first wall 161 and a battery compartment 163. The first wall 161 is provided with a first opening 162, and the battery compartment 163 is connected to the first wall 161 and opposite the first opening 162. The cover 160 is the uppermost component of the servo drive 100 in the direction of gravity. The battery compartment 163 is used to accommodate the battery 190, and the first opening 162 is used to allow the battery 190 to enter and exit the battery compartment 163.

[0056] Servo driver 100's battery 190 is a component used to provide electrical energy. Battery 190 is housed within battery compartment 163, effectively integrating battery 190 within servo driver 100. This prevents the battery from occupying space outside servo driver 100 and reduces its impact on external structures of servo driver 100, such as the grounding bolts used for installation. Battery 190 can be connected to encoder terminal 150 to transmit and supply electrical energy, ensuring that the encoder's multi-turn encoder signal is not lost in the event of a sudden power outage.

[0057] The servo drive 100 also includes a wiring harness 167, and a channel 166 is used for passing the wiring harness 167. Specifically, the channel 166 is arranged on the side of the first wall 161 close to the shell 120. The first end of the channel 166 is connected to the battery compartment 163, and the second end of the channel 166 extends to the end of the cover body 160. The channel 166 constitutes a transmission path from the battery compartment 163 to the end of the cover body 160.

[0058] The wiring harness 167 is arranged in the channel 166. The first end of the wiring harness 167 is connected to the battery 190, and the second end of the wiring harness 167 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150. The wiring harness 167 can transmit electrical energy to the encoder terminal 150 and then be used by the encoder.

[0059] If the harness 167 passes directly through the front of the cover 160, it will have a great impact on the appearance. At the same time, the swing of the harness 167 during installation will have a certain impact on other plugs, which may cause poor contact of the connector.

[0060] The present application arranges a channel 166 in the cover body 160, and the battery 190 is inserted at the bottom through the wiring harness 167 and the encoder terminal 150. The wiring harness 167 is almost invisible, so that the wiring harness 167 passes through the hidden channel 166 and comes out from the end connected to the battery 190. At this time, the connector of the wiring harness 167 can form an aerial docking with the circuit part of the encoder terminal 150, thereby reducing the interference of the wiring harness 167 on the wiring terminals on the front of the cover body 160.

[0061] Specifically, the wiring harness 167 is connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery 190 by welding.

[0062] As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the servo drive 100 also includes: a first terminal 210, which is arranged at the second end of the channel 166 and connected to the second end of the wiring harness 167, and the first terminal 210 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150.

[0063] In this embodiment, the servo driver 100 further includes a first terminal 210, which is disposed at the second end of the channel 166, that is, the first terminal 210 is disposed at the end of the channel 166 away from the battery compartment 163. The first terminal 210 is connected to the second end of the wiring harness 167. The first terminal 210 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150, that is, the second end of the wiring harness 167 is connected to the encoder terminal 150 via the first terminal 210.

[0064] By connecting first terminal 210 to encoder terminal 150, battery 190 powers the encoder components, enabling accurate motion control. Furthermore, the connection between external battery 190 and encoder terminal 150 effectively ensures the multi-turn encoder can capture information regardless of any unexpected circumstances, achieving higher resolution and a larger measurement range.

[0065] As shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the servo driver 100 also includes: a battery cover 200, which is arranged at the first opening 162 and is rotatably connected to the first wall 161 to open or close the battery compartment 163.

[0066] In this embodiment, the battery cover 200 is arranged at the first opening 162 and is rotatably connected to the first wall 161. By applying force to the battery cover 200, the battery compartment 163 can be opened or closed relatively easily, so as to facilitate operation of the battery 190 in the battery compartment 163. The flip-top design improves the convenience of replacing the battery 190. In addition, the setting of the battery cover 200 allows the battery 190 to be covered after being set in the battery compartment 163, thereby reducing the impact on the neatness of the appearance of the servo drive 100, making the appearance of the servo drive 100 more beautiful and avoiding the servo drive 100 from appearing bloated.

[0067] Specifically, the battery cover 200 is located on the right side below the front of the servo driver 100 .

[0068] As shown in Figures 4, 5 and 7, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first wall 161 is provided with a groove 168, the groove 168 has a second opening 169, the second opening 169 is toward the side of the first wall 161 away from the shell 120, the groove 168 is located on the side of the channel 166 and the battery compartment 163, the area where the groove 168 is opposite to the battery compartment 163 is connected to the battery compartment 163, and the area where the groove 168 is opposite to the channel 166 is connected to the channel 166.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first wall 161 is provided with a groove 168 having a second opening 169 . The second opening 169 faces the side of the first wall 161 away from the housing 120 , that is, the second opening 169 is an opening pointing outward.

[0070] The groove 168 is located to the side of the channel 166 and the battery compartment 163. The area where the groove 168 faces the battery compartment 163 is connected to the battery compartment 163, making it easy to operate the battery compartment 163 to place or remove the battery 190. The area where the groove 168 faces the channel 166 is connected to the channel 166, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the wiring harness 167.

[0071] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 is rotatably connected to the first wall 161, and the side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 can be close to or away from the battery compartment 163.

[0072] In this embodiment, the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 is rotatably connected to the first wall 161 , and the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 forms a structure that functions as a rotation axis.

[0073] The side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 can be close to or away from the battery compartment 163. Specifically, when using the servo driver 100 proposed in this application, when the battery cover 200 is buckled at the first opening 162 and the battery compartment 163 is closed, if the battery compartment 163 needs to be opened, a lifting force is applied to the battery cover 200, and the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 rotates relative to the first wall 161, and the side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 moves in the direction away from the battery compartment 163, thereby realizing convenient opening of the battery compartment 163.

[0074] When the battery compartment 163 needs to be closed, a downward force is applied to the battery cover 200, and the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 rotates relative to the first wall 161, and the side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 moves toward the battery compartment 163, and finally the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163.

[0075] In this application, the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 is rotatably connected to the first wall 161, and the side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 can be close to or away from the battery compartment 163, forming a structure for flipping open the battery compartment 163, thereby making the process of opening the battery compartment 163 convenient.

[0076] As shown in Figures 4, 5 and 7, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the cross-section of the area where the groove 168 is opposite to the battery compartment 163 is trapezoidal; the cross-section of the area where the groove 168 is opposite to the channel 166 is V-shaped.

[0077] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the area where the groove 168 faces the battery compartment 163 is trapezoidal, making it easier for the user to manipulate the groove 168 to open the battery cover 200. The cross-section of the area where the groove 168 faces the channel 166 is V-shaped, further facilitating the arrangement of the wiring harness 167 and further enhancing its concealment.

[0078] As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the servo driver 100 further includes: a first rib 220, the first rib 220 is connected to the battery cover 200, is located on the side of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163, and protrudes from the surface of the battery cover 200 on the side close to the battery compartment 163; wherein, when the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the first rib 220 is in contact with the battery.

[0079] In this embodiment, the servo driver 100 also includes a first rib 220, which is connected to the battery cover 200, located on the side of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163, and protrudes from the surface of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163, that is, the first rib 220 is arranged on the surface opposite to the battery cover 200 and the battery compartment 163.

[0080] When the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163 , the first rib 220 contacts the battery 190 , and the first rib 220 squeezes the battery 190 , clamping the battery 190 so that the battery 190 is fully fixed in the battery compartment 163 .

[0081] As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the servo driver 100 further includes: an elastic member 180, which is connected to the battery compartment 163; a battery 190 is arranged in the battery compartment 163, and the side of the battery 190 away from the first opening 162 is in contact with the elastic member 180, and the battery 190 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150; a battery cover 200 is arranged at the first opening 162 and is rotatably connected to the first wall 161 to open or close the battery compartment 163; wherein, when the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the battery 190 squeezes the elastic member 180, and the elastic member 180 is deformed.

[0082] In this embodiment, the elastic member 180 of the servo driver 100 is connected to the battery compartment 163 . The elastic member 180 is disposed in the battery compartment 163 . The elastic member 180 can be deformed by a force to generate a reaction force.

[0083] The side of the battery 190 away from the first opening 162 contacts the elastic member 180. When the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the battery 190 presses against the elastic member 180, causing the elastic member 180 to deform. This deformation of the elastic member 180 generates a force, which is restrained by the battery 190 and cannot be released after the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163.

[0084] When the battery cover 200 opens the battery compartment 163, the battery cover 200 no longer applies force to the battery 190, and the battery 190 no longer squeezes the elastic member 180. The elastic member 180 begins to release force to the battery 190 due to its restored shape, thereby pushing at least part of the battery 190 to pop out of the battery compartment 163, making it easier for the user to take the battery 190 and improving the convenience of repairing and replacing the battery 190.

[0085] The servo driver 100 proposed in this application has a battery cover 200 designed as a rotating flip-up structure. When repairing or replacing the battery 190, the battery compartment 163 can be opened by simply rotating the flip-up cover. In addition, an elastic member 180 is designed inside the battery compartment to ensure that the elastic member 180 automatically ejects the battery 190 when the flip-up cover is opened. When removing the battery 190, no additional tools are required. This improves the operator's convenience, reduces the size of the servo driver 100, greatly reduces the cost of installing the battery 190 in the servo driver 100, and improves the appearance of the servo driver 100.

[0086] In addition, the user can replace the battery 190 by operating the battery cover 200 on the cover 160 of the servo driver 100, thereby operating the battery 190 on the top surface of the servo driver 100, which makes it easier for the user to observe the condition of the battery 190 and perform operations.

[0087] As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the side wall of the battery compartment 163 away from the first opening 162 is a second wall 164, and the second wall 164 is provided with a notch 165 passing through the second wall 164. The elastic member 180 includes a connecting arm 182 and a protrusion 184. The connecting arm 182 is arranged in the notch 165, the first end of the connecting arm 182 is connected to the second wall 164, and the second end of the connecting arm 182 is a free end; the protrusion 184 is arranged on the side of the connecting arm 182 close to the battery 190, located at the second end of the connecting arm 182, and protruding from the surface of the second wall 164 on the side close to the battery 190.

[0088] In this embodiment, the side wall of the battery compartment 163 away from the first opening 162 is a second wall 164 . A notch 165 is provided on the second wall 164 and passes through the second wall 164 .

[0089] The elastic member 180 includes a connecting arm 182 and a protrusion 184. The connecting arm 182 is disposed within the notch 165. The first end of the connecting arm 182 is connected to the second wall 164. That is, one end of the connecting arm 182 is connected to the side wall of the battery compartment 163 away from the first opening 162. The second end of the connecting arm 182 is a free end, that is, the second end of the connecting arm 182 is the end without any restraining support.

[0090] The protrusion 184 of the elastic member 180 is disposed on a side of the connecting arm 182 close to the battery 190 . The protrusion 184 is located at the second end of the connecting arm 182 and protrudes from a surface of the second wall 164 close to the battery 190 .

[0091] By setting the elastic member 180 including the connecting arm 182 and the protrusion 184, a cantilever beam structure is formed in the battery compartment 163, which can ensure that when the battery cover 200 is opened, the force generated by the connecting arm 182 and the protrusion 184 restoring their shape acts on the battery 190 to automatically pop out the battery 190. When removing the battery 190, the battery 190 can be easily taken out without additional tools.

[0092] Specifically, there are two connecting arms 182 , which are disposed back to back. There are two protrusions 184 , with one protrusion 184 disposed on the second end of one connecting arm 182 .

[0093] When the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the first rib 220 contacts the battery 190 and squeezes the battery 190. At this time, the protrusion 184 is deformed under the force. The first rib 220 and the protrusion 184 on the battery cover 200 just have a compression effect when the battery cover 200 is closed. The battery 190 is clamped, and the battery 190 is fully fixed in the battery compartment 163.

[0094] Specifically, the servo driver 100 also includes a second rib, which is connected to the battery cover 200 and is spaced apart from the first rib 220 and is arranged on the side of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163 and protrudes from the surface of the side of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163, so as to better achieve the squeezing of the battery 190 and make the left and right ends of the battery 190 evenly stressed.

[0095] As shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first wall 161 is provided with a connecting hole 171, and the connecting hole 171 extends along the rotation axis of the battery cover 200. The battery cover 200 includes: a second body 202, the second body 202 is buckled in the battery compartment 163, and is adapted to the first opening 162; a connecting shaft 204, the connecting shaft 204 is connected to the second body 202, and is inserted into the connecting hole 171.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first wall 161 is provided with a connection hole 171 , which extends along the rotation axis of the battery cover 200 . That is, the connection hole 171 is a hole structure opened along the rotation axis of the battery cover 200 .

[0097] The battery cover 200 includes a second body 202 . The second body 202 is buckled in the battery compartment 163 and matched with the first opening 162 . The second body 202 is used to close and open the battery compartment 163 .

[0098] The battery cover 200 further includes a connecting shaft 204 . The connecting shaft 204 is connected to the second body 202 and inserted into the connecting hole 171 .

[0099] The servo driver 100 proposed in this application has a battery compartment 163 provided inside the cover body 160, and the battery 190 is placed in the battery compartment 163. The wiring harness 167 extends outward from the end connected to the battery 190 along the channel 166, and the battery cover 200 is installed on the cover body 160 through the connecting shaft 204. Specifically, the connecting shaft 204 is a rotating shaft.

[0100] When using the servo driver 100 proposed in this application, when the second body 202 is buckled at the first opening 162 and the battery compartment 163 is closed, if the battery compartment 163 needs to be opened, a lifting force is applied to the second body 202, and the connecting shaft 204 rotates with the second body 202 within the connecting hole 171, thereby conveniently opening the battery compartment 163. Thereafter, when the battery compartment 163 needs to be closed, a downward force is applied to the second body 202, and the connecting shaft 204 rotates with the second body 202 within the connecting hole 171, ultimately closing the battery compartment 163 with the battery cover 200.

[0101] The flip cover structure of the battery cover 200 greatly simplifies the opening and installation process, makes the appearance of the servo driver 100 simple, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the servo driver 100.

[0102] As shown in FIG. 4 , FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , in some embodiments of the present application, the first wall 161 is provided with a third opening 170 , the encoder terminal 150 is opposite to the third opening 170 , and the opening 152 of the encoder terminal 150 faces the outside of the first wall 161 .

[0103] In this embodiment, the first wall 161 is provided with a third opening 170, and the encoder terminal 150 is opposite to the third opening 170. The encoder terminal 150 is exposed to the outside of the first wall 161 through the third opening 170, and the opening 152 of the encoder terminal 150 is facing the outside of the first wall 161, which makes it convenient for the user to connect the encoder terminal 150, thereby improving the user's operational convenience.

[0104] Specifically, the servo driver 100 further includes a burning interface, a debugging port, an IO interface and a motor interface, all of which are arranged on the cover 160 for easy use by operators and also enable the servo driver 100 to have complete drive control functions.

[0105] In one embodiment of the present application, a servo system is provided, comprising the servo driver 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0106] In this embodiment, the servo system proposed in the present application includes the servo driver 100 as in any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of any of the above technical solutions.

[0107] As shown in Figure 7, external interfaces, including the programming port, debug port, IO port, and motor port, are all located on the cover 160. When the servo driver 100 is installed in the electrical box of the servo system, the front is the easiest for the operator to access, so the battery 190 is placed on the cover 160 for easy access.

[0108] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the present application designs a built-in battery compartment 163 structure inside the cover body 160, and places the battery 190 therein. The positive and negative poles of the battery 190 are welded together through a wiring harness 167, and the second end of the wiring harness 167 is crimped with a first terminal 210 to form a docking connection with the encoder terminal 150.

[0109] When the wiring harness 167 passes through the front, if it passes directly through the front of the cover body 160, it will have a greater impact on the appearance. At the same time, since the swing of the wiring harness 167 during the installation process will have a certain impact on other plugs, it may cause poor contact of the connector. The present application fully utilizes the characteristics of the V-shaped groove 168 in the cross-section of the area opposite to the channel 166 to allow the wiring harness 167 to pass through the hidden channel 166 and come out of the channel 166. At this time, the first terminal 210 can be connected with the encoder terminal 150 to form an aerial docking.

[0110] As shown in Figure 1, the present application designs the elastic member 180 in the battery compartment 163 as a cantilever beam structure, and sets a protrusion 184 on the second end of the connecting arm 182. When the battery 190 is placed in the battery compartment 163, the battery 190 is in full contact with the protrusion 184. At this time, the battery cover 200 and the cover body 160 are designed as a rotating shaft pin structure, and the battery cover 200 is fixed on the cover body 160 to form a flip cover structure, which not only reduces the space of the battery 190 structure, but also makes the opening method simpler.

[0111] As shown in FIG. 3 , when the battery cover 200 is closed, the first rib 220 squeezes the battery 190 . The protrusion 184 is deformed by force, and the battery 190 is clamped, ensuring that the battery 190 is fully fixed in the battery compartment 163 .

[0112] When the operator opens the battery cover 200 to replace the battery 190, the structural feature of the trapezoidal groove 168 in the area opposite to the battery compartment 163 is fully utilized. When the battery cover 200 is flipped open, the first rib 220 releases the squeeze on the battery 190. At this time, the protrusion 184 allows the battery 190 to rebound, and the battery 190 is not subjected to force. The battery 190 can be easily taken out for operation and maintenance, which is more convenient.

[0113] In summary, the present application not only solves the problem of multi-turn encoder information loss by integrating the battery 190 and hiding it in the servo driver 100, but also makes the servo driver 100 more compact and updated in structure, and the operator has more operating space. The operator can easily install and replace it from the front, which greatly improves the user experience. The flip-top structure of the battery cover 200 greatly simplifies the installation process, has a simple appearance, and reduces costs. The interaction between the protrusion 184 of the elastic member 180 of the battery compartment 163 and the first rib 220 makes the installation of the battery 190 more stable. At the same time, when the V-groove buckle structure opens the battery cover 200, the battery 190 will release the elastic force and automatically pop out the battery 190 without the need for any tool assistance, thereby ensuring the normal use of the battery 190 and the normal operation of the servo driver 100. The setting of this battery 190 not only makes the servo drive 100 structure more compact, reduces costs, simplifies installation, and has a more beautiful appearance, but also the external battery 190 effectively ensures that the multi-turn encoder can collect information in any emergency situation, and can obtain higher resolution and a larger measurement range, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire servo system.

[0114] As shown in Figures 2, 4 and 8, in one embodiment of the present application, a servo driver 100 is proposed, wherein the servo driver 100 includes a shell assembly 102, an elastic member 180, a battery 190 and a battery cover 200, the shell assembly 102 includes a battery compartment 163, and the battery compartment 163 is provided with a first opening 162; the elastic member 180 is connected to the battery compartment 163; the battery 190 is arranged in the battery compartment 163, and the side of the battery 190 away from the first opening 162 is in contact with the elastic member 180, and the battery 190 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150; the battery cover 200 is arranged at the first opening 162 and is rotatably connected to the first wall 161 to open or close the battery compartment 163; wherein, when the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the battery 190 squeezes the elastic member 180, and the elastic member 180 is deformed.

[0115] In this embodiment, the servo driver 100 proposed in this application includes a shell assembly 102, an elastic member 180, a battery 190 and a battery cover 200. The shell assembly 102 includes a battery compartment 163, and the battery compartment 163 is provided with a first opening 162. The battery compartment 163 is used to accommodate the battery 190. The battery 190 can be placed in the battery compartment 163 through the first opening 162, and the battery 190 can also be taken out of the battery compartment 163.

[0116] The elastic member 180 of the servo driver 100 is connected to the battery compartment 163 . The elastic member 180 is disposed in the battery compartment 163 . The elastic member 180 can be deformed by a force to generate a reaction force.

[0117] The battery 190 of the servo driver 100 is a component for providing electrical energy. The battery 190 is arranged in the battery compartment 163, so that the battery 190 is accommodated and integrated into the servo driver 100, avoiding the battery occupying the space outside the servo driver 100 and reducing the impact of the battery 190 on the external structure of the servo driver 100, such as the setting of the grounding bolt used for installation.

[0118] The battery 190 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150 to realize the transmission and supply of electric energy, and can ensure that the multi-turn encoding signal of the encoder is not lost in the event of a sudden power outage.

[0119] The battery cover 200 is arranged at the first opening 162 and is rotatably connected to the first wall 161. By applying force to the battery cover 200, the battery compartment 163 can be opened or closed relatively easily, so as to facilitate operation of the battery 190 in the battery compartment 163. The flip-top design improves the convenience of replacing the battery 190. In addition, the setting of the battery cover 200 allows the battery 190 to be covered after being set in the battery compartment 163, thereby reducing the impact on the neatness of the appearance of the servo drive 100, making the appearance of the servo drive 100 more beautiful and preventing the servo drive 100 from appearing bloated.

[0120] Specifically, the battery cover 200 is located on the right side below the front of the servo driver 100 .

[0121] The side of the battery 190 away from the first opening 162 contacts the elastic member 180. When the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the battery 190 presses against the elastic member 180, causing the elastic member 180 to deform. This deformation of the elastic member 180 generates a force, which is restrained by the battery 190 and cannot be released after the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163.

[0122] When the battery cover 200 opens the battery compartment 163, the battery cover 200 no longer applies force to the battery 190, and the battery 190 no longer squeezes the elastic member 180. The elastic member 180 begins to release force to the battery 190 due to its restored shape, thereby pushing at least part of the battery 190 to pop out of the battery compartment 163, making it easier for the user to take the battery 190 and improving the convenience of repairing and replacing the battery 190.

[0123] To sum up, the servo driver 100 proposed in the present application has a battery compartment 163 formed inside for accommodating the battery 190, thereby integrating the battery 190 into the servo driver 100, supplying power through the encoder terminal 150, separating the battery 190 from the encoder line, simplifying the production of the encoder line, and at the same time, the separate location of the battery 190 also effectively ensures that the multi-turn encoding signal of the encoder is not lost in the event of a sudden power outage, etc., so that higher resolution and a larger measurement range can be obtained, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire servo driver 100.

[0124] The battery cover 200 is designed as a rotating flip-up structure. When servicing or replacing the battery 190, the battery compartment 163 can be opened by simply rotating the flip-up cover. In addition, an elastic member 180 is designed inside the battery compartment to ensure that the battery 190 is automatically ejected when the flip-up cover is opened. When removing the battery 190, no additional tools are required, which improves the operator's convenience and thus improves the ease of use of the servo drive 100.

[0125] As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the side wall of the battery compartment 163 away from the first opening 162 is a second wall 164, and the second wall 164 is provided with a notch 165 passing through the second wall 164. The elastic member 180 includes a connecting arm 182 and a protrusion 184. The connecting arm 182 is arranged in the notch 165, the first end of the connecting arm 182 is connected to the second wall 164, and the second end of the connecting arm 182 is a free end; the protrusion 184 is arranged on the side of the connecting arm 182 close to the battery 190, located at the second end of the connecting arm 182, and protruding from the surface of the second wall 164 on the side close to the battery 190.

[0126] In this embodiment, the side wall of the battery compartment 163 away from the first opening 162 is a second wall 164 . A notch 165 is provided on the second wall 164 and passes through the second wall 164 .

[0127] The elastic member 180 includes a connecting arm 182 and a protrusion 184. The connecting arm 182 is disposed within the notch 165. The first end of the connecting arm 182 is connected to the second wall 164. That is, one end of the connecting arm 182 is connected to the side wall of the battery compartment 163 away from the first opening 162. The second end of the connecting arm 182 is a free end, that is, the second end of the connecting arm 182 is the end without any restraining support.

[0128] The protrusion 184 of the elastic member 180 is disposed on a side of the connecting arm 182 close to the battery 190 . The protrusion 184 is located at the second end of the connecting arm 182 and protrudes from a surface of the second wall 164 close to the battery 190 .

[0129] By setting the elastic member 180 including the connecting arm 182 and the protrusion 184, a cantilever beam structure is formed in the battery compartment 163, which can ensure that when the battery cover 200 is opened, the force generated by the connecting arm 182 and the protrusion 184 restoring their shape acts on the battery 190 to automatically pop out the battery 190. When removing the battery 190, the battery 190 can be easily taken out without additional tools.

[0130] Specifically, there are two connecting arms 182 , which are disposed back to back. There are two protrusions 184 , with one protrusion 184 disposed on the second end of one connecting arm 182 .

[0131] As shown in Figures 2, 4 and 8, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the shell assembly 102 includes a base 110, a shell, a circuit board 140 and a cover 160, the base 110 includes a first body 112 and a support portion 114, the support portion 114 is connected to the first body 112; the shell 120 is connected to the support portion 114, and the shell 120 and the first body 112 enclose a accommodating cavity 130; the circuit board 140 is arranged on the support portion 114 and is located in the accommodating cavity 130; the encoder terminal 150 is arranged on the circuit board 140; the cover 160 is connected to the shell 120 and is located on the side of the accommodating cavity 130 away from the first body 112, the cover 160 includes a first wall 161 and a battery compartment 163, the first wall 161 is provided with a first opening 162, the battery compartment 163 is connected to the first wall 161 and is opposite to the first opening 162.

[0132] In this embodiment, the shell assembly 102 includes a base 110, a shell 120, a circuit board 140, an encoder terminal 150, a cover 160, an elastic member 180, a battery 190 and a battery cover 200. The base 110 includes a first body 112 and a support portion 114. The first body 112 is the main structural component of the base 110. The support portion 114 is connected to the first body 112, and the support portion 114 can play a supporting and connecting role.

[0133] The shell 120 is connected to the support portion 114 , thereby indirectly connecting the shell 120 and the first body 112 . The shell 120 and the first body 112 define a receiving cavity 130 . The support portion 114 facilitates the assembly of the shell 120 and the base 110 .

[0134] The circuit board 140 is mounted on the support portion 114 and located within the housing cavity 130. The support portion 114 provides a suitable mounting location for the circuit board 140. The circuit board 140 can perform functions such as signal transmission, power management, signal processing, control and logic, data conversion, and current protection.

[0135] Encoder terminals 150 are located on circuit board 140. An encoder is a signal encoder used to convert motion or position. Encoder terminals 150 serve as the interface for the encoder to receive power. Encoder terminals 150 are located on circuit board 140 and work in conjunction with circuit board 140 to convert physical motion into digital signals, enabling measurement and control of the original motion signal.

[0136] The cover 160 is connected to the housing 120 and is located on the side of the accommodating cavity 130 away from the first body 112. The cover 160 includes a first wall 161 and a battery compartment 163. The first wall 161 is provided with a first opening 162, and the battery compartment 163 is connected to the first wall 161 and opposite the first opening 162. The cover 160 is the uppermost component of the servo drive 100 in the direction of gravity. The battery compartment 163 is used to accommodate the battery 190, and the first opening 162 is used to allow the battery 190 to enter and exit the battery compartment 163.

[0137] The battery cover 200 is designed as a rotating flip-up structure. When servicing or replacing the battery 190, the battery compartment 163 can be opened by simply rotating the flip-up cover. In addition, an elastic member 180 is designed inside the battery compartment to ensure that the battery 190 is automatically ejected when the flip-up cover is opened. When removing the battery 190, no additional tools are required, which improves the operator's convenience and thus improves the ease of use of the servo drive 100.

[0138] In addition, the user can replace the battery 190 by operating the battery cover 200 on the cover 160 of the servo driver 100, thereby operating the battery 190 on the top surface of the servo driver 100, which makes it easier for the user to observe the condition of the battery 190 and perform operations.

[0139] Specifically, a first connection portion is provided on the circumferential side of the cover 160 , and a second connection portion is provided on the housing 120 . The first connection portion and the second connection portion are engaged with each other to achieve the connection between the cover 160 and the housing 120 .

[0140] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the cover body 160 also includes a channel 166 and a wiring harness 167, the channel 166 is arranged on the side of the first wall 161 close to the shell 120, the first end of the channel 166 is connected to the battery compartment 163, and the second end of the channel 166 extends to the end of the cover body 160; the wiring harness 167 is arranged in the channel 166, the first end of the wiring harness 167 is connected to the battery 190, and the second end of the wiring harness 167 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150.

[0141] In this embodiment, the cover body 160 also includes a channel 166 and a wiring harness 167. The channel 166 is used for the wiring harness 167 to pass through. Specifically, the channel 166 is arranged on the side of the first wall 161 close to the shell 120. The first end of the channel 166 is connected to the battery compartment 163, and the second end of the channel 166 extends to the end of the cover body 160. The channel 166 constitutes a transmission path from the battery compartment 163 to the end of the cover body 160.

[0142] The wiring harness 167 is arranged in the channel 166. The first end of the wiring harness 167 is connected to the battery 190, and the second end of the wiring harness 167 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150. The wiring harness 167 can transmit electrical energy to the encoder terminal 150 and then be used by the encoder.

[0143] If the wiring harness 167 were to pass directly through the front of the cover 160, it would significantly affect the appearance. Furthermore, the swinging of the wiring harness 167 during installation would affect other plugs to a certain extent, potentially causing poor contact between the connectors. The present application arranges a channel 166 within the cover 160, allowing the battery 190 to be inserted at the bottom through the wiring harness 167 and the encoder terminal 150, making the wiring harness 167 virtually invisible. This allows the wiring harness 167 to pass through the hidden channel 166 and exit from the end connected to the battery 190. At this point, the connector of the wiring harness 167 can form an aerial connection with the circuit portion of the encoder terminal 150, thereby reducing interference from the wiring harness 167 with the wiring terminals on the front of the cover 160.

[0144] Specifically, the wiring harness 167 is connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery 190 by welding.

[0145] As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the servo drive 100 also includes: a first terminal 210, which is arranged at the second end of the channel 166 and connected to the second end of the wiring harness 167, and the first terminal 210 can be connected to the encoder terminal 150.

[0153] The side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 can be close to or away from the battery compartment 163. Specifically, when using the servo driver 100 proposed in this application, when the battery cover 200 is buckled at the first opening 162 and the battery compartment 163 is closed, if the battery compartment 163 needs to be opened, a lifting force is applied to the battery cover 200, and the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 rotates relative to the first wall 161, and the side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 moves in the direction away from the battery compartment 163, thereby realizing convenient opening of the battery compartment 163.

[0154] When the battery compartment 163 needs to be closed, a downward force is applied to the battery cover 200, and the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 rotates relative to the first wall 161, and the side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 moves toward the battery compartment 163, and finally the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163.

[0155] In this application, the side of the battery cover 200 away from the groove 168 is rotatably connected to the first wall 161, and the side of the battery cover 200 close to the groove 168 can be close to or away from the battery compartment 163, forming a structure for flipping open the battery compartment 163, thereby making the process of opening the battery compartment 163 convenient.

The cross-section of the area where the groove 168 faces the channel 166 is V-shaped, which facilitates the arrangement of the wiring harness 167 and also makes the wiring harness 167 more concealed.

[0158] As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the servo driver 100 further includes: a first rib 220, the first rib 220 is connected to the battery cover 200, is located on the side of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163, and protrudes from the surface of the battery cover 200 on the side close to the battery compartment 163; wherein, when the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the first rib 220 is in contact with the battery.

[0159] In this embodiment, the servo driver 100 also includes a first rib 220, which is connected to the battery cover 200, located on the side of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163, and protrudes from the surface of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163, that is, the first rib 220 is arranged on the surface opposite to the battery cover 200 and the battery compartment 163.

[0160] When the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the first rib 220 contacts the battery 190 and squeezes the battery 190. At this time, the elastic member 180 is deformed by force and the battery 190 is clamped, thereby fully fixing the battery 190 in the battery compartment 163.

[0161] Specifically, the side wall of the battery compartment 163 away from the first opening 162 is the second wall 164, and the second wall 164 is provided with a notch 165 passing through the second wall 164.

[0162] When the battery cover 200 closes the battery compartment 163, the first rib 220 contacts the battery 190 and squeezes the battery 190. At this time, the protrusion 184 is deformed under the force. The first rib 220 and the protrusion 184 on the battery cover 200 just have a compression effect when the battery cover 200 is closed. The battery 190 is clamped, and the battery 190 is fully fixed in the battery compartment 163.

[0163] Specifically, the servo driver 100 also includes a second rib, which is connected to the battery cover 200 and is spaced apart from the first rib 220 and is arranged on the side of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163 and protrudes from the surface of the side of the battery cover 200 close to the battery compartment 163, so as to better achieve the squeezing of the battery 190 and make the left and right ends of the battery 190 evenly stressed.

[0164] As shown in Figures 1, 3, 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first wall 161 is provided with a connecting hole 171, and the connecting hole 171 extends along the rotation axis of the battery cover 200. The battery cover 200 includes: a second body 202, the second body 202 is buckled in the battery compartment 163 and adapted to the first opening 162; and a connecting shaft 204, the connecting shaft 204 is connected to the second body 202 and inserted into the connecting hole 171.

[0165] In this embodiment, the first wall 161 is provided with a connection hole 171 , which extends along the rotation axis of the battery cover 200 . That is, the connection hole 171 is a hole structure opened along the rotation axis of the battery cover 200 .

[0167] The battery cover 200 further includes a connecting shaft 204 . The connecting shaft 204 is connected to the second body 202 and inserted into the connecting hole 171 .

[0168] The servo driver 100 proposed in this application has a battery compartment 163 provided inside the cover body 160, and the battery 190 is placed in the battery compartment 163. The wiring harness 167 extends outward from the end connected to the battery 190 along the channel 166, and the battery cover 200 is installed on the cover body 160 through the connecting shaft 204. Specifically, the connecting shaft 204 is a rotating shaft.

[0169] When using the servo driver 100 proposed in this application, when the second body 202 is buckled at the first opening 162 and the battery compartment 163 is closed, if the battery compartment 163 needs to be opened, a lifting force is applied to the second body 202, and the connecting shaft 204 rotates with the second body 202 within the connecting hole 171, thereby conveniently opening the battery compartment 163. Thereafter, when the battery compartment 163 needs to be closed, a downward force is applied to the second body 202, and the connecting shaft 204 rotates with the second body 202 within the connecting hole 171, ultimately closing the battery compartment 163 with the battery cover 200.

[0170] The flip cover structure of the battery cover 200 greatly simplifies the opening and installation process, makes the appearance of the servo driver 100 simple, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the servo driver 100.

[0171] As shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first wall 161 is provided with a third opening 170, the encoder terminal 150 is opposite to the third opening 170, and the opening 152 of the encoder terminal 150 faces the outside of the first wall 161.

[0172] In this embodiment, the first wall 161 is provided with a third opening 170, and the encoder terminal 150 is opposite to the third opening 170. The encoder terminal 150 is exposed to the outside of the first wall 161 through the third opening 170, and the opening 152 of the encoder terminal 150 is facing the outside of the first wall 161, which makes it convenient for the user to connect the encoder terminal 150, thereby improving the user's operational convenience.

[0173] Specifically, the servo driver 100 further includes a burning interface, a debugging port, an IO interface and a motor interface, all of which are arranged on the cover 160 for easy use by operators and also enable the servo driver 100 to have complete drive control functions.

[0174] In one embodiment of the present application, a servo system is provided, comprising the servo driver 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0175] In this embodiment, the servo system proposed in the present application includes the servo driver 100 as in any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of any of the above technical solutions.

[0176] As shown in Figure 7, external interfaces, including the programming port, debug port, IO port, and motor port, are all located on the cover 160. When the servo driver 100 is installed in the electrical box of the servo system, the front is the easiest for the operator to access, so the battery 190 is placed on the cover 160 for easy access.

[0177] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the present application designs a built-in battery compartment 163 structure inside the cover body 160, and places the battery 190 therein. The positive and negative poles of the battery 190 are welded together through a wiring harness 167, and the second end of the wiring harness 167 is crimped with a first terminal 210 to form a docking connection with the encoder terminal 150.

[0178] When the wiring harness 167 passes through the front, if it passes directly through the front of the cover body 160, it will have a greater impact on the appearance. At the same time, since the swing of the wiring harness 167 during the installation process will have a certain impact on other plugs, it may cause poor contact of the connector. The present application fully utilizes the characteristics of the V-shaped groove 168 in the cross-section of the area opposite to the channel 166 to allow the wiring harness 167 to pass through the hidden channel 166 and come out of the channel 166. At this time, the first terminal 210 can be connected with the encoder terminal 150 to form an aerial docking.

[0179] As shown in Figure 2, the present application designs the elastic member 180 in the battery compartment 163 as a cantilever beam structure, and sets a protrusion 184 on the second end of the connecting arm 182. When the battery 190 is placed in the battery compartment 163, the battery 190 is in full contact with the protrusion 184. At this time, the battery cover 200 and the cover body 160 are designed as a rotating shaft pin structure, and the battery cover 200 is fixed on the cover body 160 to form a flip cover structure, which not only reduces the space of the battery 190 structure, but also makes the opening method simpler.

[0180] As shown in FIG. 3 , when the battery cover 200 is closed, the first rib 220 squeezes the battery 190 . The protrusion 184 is deformed by force, and the battery 190 is clamped, ensuring that the battery 190 is fully fixed in the battery compartment 163 .

[0181] When the operator opens the battery cover 200 to replace the battery 190, the structural feature of the trapezoidal groove 168 in the area opposite to the battery compartment 163 is fully utilized. When the battery cover 200 is flipped open, the first rib 220 releases the squeeze on the battery 190. At this time, the protrusion 184 allows the battery 190 to rebound, and the battery 190 is not subjected to force. The battery 190 can be easily taken out for operation and maintenance, which is more convenient.

[0182] In summary, the present application not only solves the problem of multi-turn encoder information loss by integrating the battery 190 and hiding it in the servo driver 100, but also makes the servo driver 100 more compact and updated in structure, and the operator has more operating space. The operator can easily install and replace it from the front, which greatly improves the user experience. The flip-top structure of the battery cover 200 greatly simplifies the installation process, has a simple appearance, and reduces costs. The interaction between the protrusion 184 of the elastic member 180 of the battery compartment 163 and the first rib 220 makes the installation of the battery 190 more stable. At the same time, when the V-groove buckle structure opens the battery cover 200, the battery 190 will release the elastic force and automatically pop out the battery 190 without the need for any tool assistance, thereby ensuring the normal use of the battery 190 and the normal operation of the servo driver 100. The setting of this battery 190 not only makes the servo drive 100 structure more compact, reduces costs, simplifies installation, and has a more beautiful appearance, but also the external battery 190 effectively ensures that the multi-turn encoder can collect information in any emergency situation, and can obtain higher resolution and a larger measurement range, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire servo system.

[0183] Specifically, the servo driver 100 with the battery compartment 163 structure proposed in the present application can be expanded to be applied to two-axis servo systems in addition to single-axis servo systems.
