The invention relates to a
harmonic speed reduction-
ratchet wheel plate spring composite dual-mode elastic driver. The
harmonic speed reduction-
ratchet wheel plate spring composite dual-mode elastic driver comprises a motor shell, a driving motor, a
harmonic speed
reducer and a plate spring
energy storage-
cam release mechanism. The motor shell comprises a middle shell, a
front cover and a rear cover; an input shaft of the harmonic
reducer is fixedly connected with the
flange; a wave generator is formed through a
flange; the plate spring
energy storage-
cam release mechanism is composed of a
ratchet wheel, a bidirectional pawl, a plate spring and a
mode switching mechanism. The driver has two working
modes: 1, a conventional deceleration mode: a bidirectional pawl locks a ratchet wheel, and high-reduction-ratio torque is output through a harmonic
reducer; and 2, an
elastic energy storage mode: when the output end is impacted, the outer ring of the ratchet wheel rotates and stretches the plate spring to store energy, and the
cam pawl can limit the reverse rotation and release the plate spring. The dual-
mode switching mechanism has the dual-
mode switching capacity, high precision and
impact resistance, the instantaneous driving
explosive force is remarkably improved, energy is efficiently stored,
energy consumption is reduced, and the dual-mode switching mechanism is suitable for collaborative
robot joints, high-dynamic load equipment and other scenes.
