The application discloses a human-shaped
robot joint module with an overload protection structure, which comprises a fixed body and a rotating cover. A connecting boss is arranged on the fixed body, an
assembly cavity is arranged at the connecting position of the connecting boss and the fixed body, a transmission
assembly is arranged in the
assembly cavity, a
brake assembly and a
brake drive are arranged on the connecting boss, the output end of the
brake drive is connected with the brake assembly, the brake drive is further connected with the transmission assembly, the rotating cover is sleeved on the connecting boss, and the rotating cover is connected with the connecting boss through a fixing assembly. According to the principle that
helical gears will be subjected to
axial force when being meshed with each other, a magnetic suspension bearing is used to connect a rotating shaft with a fixed component, a detection device is used to monitor the state of the rotating shaft, when the output end of the joint module is overloaded, the transmission
helical gear is clamped and no longer rotates, the driving gear drives the rotating shaft to move axially along the mounting hole, the detection device controls the brake
electromagnet to act, the rotating cover is braked, and meanwhile, the power source stops outputting, so that the damage caused by overload is prevented.
