1Manufacturing precision

If a conventional motor and planetary transmission assembly is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manufacturing precision of rotation angles deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverotation angle precisionVSAvoidtransmission structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the conventional multi-layer planetary transmission mechanism with a direct-drive structure combined with a high-precision encoder. The encoder provides precise rotation angle feedback through electronic measurement, substituting the mechanical gear reduction and differential mechanisms with an electronic sensing and control system. This achieves high precision rotation angle control while simplifying the mechanical transmission structure.

2Manufacturing precision

If a positioner with polygon limiting mode is added to improve rotation angle precision, then the manufacturing precision improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput rotation angle precisionVSAvoidpositioner structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a polygon limiting positioner as an intermediary component between the motor and the output shaft. This positioner features a polygonal limiting groove that mechanically constrains the output shaft to specific angular positions, providing precise rotation angle control through geometric constraint rather than complex electronic control systems. The positioner acts as a mechanical mediator that translates continuous rotation into discrete, precise angular positions.
