and S30, readjusting the speed reducer according to the calculated reduction ratio, and reducing the input rotation speed of the speed reducer and the noise under the condition that the output rotation speed of the speed reducer is not changed.
Specifically, during the operation of the robot, there are many factors that generate noise, and the factors mainly include the following aspects: 1. mechanical vibration noise; 2. noise generated by abnormal vibration of the bearing; 3. brush slip noise; 4. fluid noise; 5. electromagnetic noise; 6. the motor rotates and emits noise. Wherein the motor during operation, the rotational speed is too fast, leads to the noise level that the noise that sends to be higher than people can accept greatly, consequently, will be satisfying under the circumstances of robot arm work, reduce the rotational speed of motor as far as possible, reach the purpose of noise reduction.
When designing the speed reducer, usually the set value of the torque parameter of the mechanical arm is large, and to achieve the required torque/rotating speed, only the method of increasing the rotating speed of the motor or increasing the reduction ratio of the speed reducer is adopted, and meanwhile, a high-precision gear is selected, the transmission design of the parallel speed reducer connecting box is strengthened, and the processing precision and the installation precision are improved. However, since the reduction ratio is set to the input rotation speed/the output rotation speed, it is known that increasing the reduction ratio of the reduction gear causes an increase in the input rotation speed of the reduction gear, that is, an increase in the output rotation speed of the motor, and causes a greater noise, while maintaining the output rotation speed. Therefore, in order to reduce noise, only the reduction ratio is reduced, so that the purpose of reducing noise is achieved.
According to the invention, the torque parameter of the mechanical arm is accurately calculated again, the torque parameter of the mechanical arm is determined again, the reduction ratio of the speed reducer is calculated, the speed reducer is redesigned according to the calculated reduction ratio, and the input rotating speed of the speed reducer is reduced under the condition that the output rotating speed of the speed reducer is not changed, so that the noise is reduced.
As shown in fig. 2, another embodiment of the noise reduction method for a robot arm according to the present invention includes:
s11 measuring the mass of the robotic arm;
s12, calculating the displacement from the gravity center of the mechanical arm to the center of the rotation axis of the mechanical arm;

Preferably, step S12 specifically includes:
s123, fixing a support on a horizontal plane, and placing the mechanical arm on the support in a balanced manner;
s124 takes a contact point of the robot arm and the support as a reference gravity center point, measures and records a distance from the reference gravity center point to a center of the rotation axis of the robot arm, and takes the distance as a displacement from the center of gravity of the robot arm to the center of the rotation axis of the robot arm.
And S13, calculating the torque parameter of the mechanical arm according to the mass of the mechanical arm and the displacement from the gravity center of the mechanical arm to the center of the rotation shaft of the mechanical arm.

and S30, readjusting the speed reducer according to the calculated reduction ratio, and reducing the input rotation speed of the speed reducer and the noise under the condition that the output rotation speed of the speed reducer is not changed.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, two methods of how to calculate the displacement from the center of gravity of the robot arm to the center of the rotation axis of the robot arm are described:
in the first method, as shown in steps S121 and S122, when the robot arm is placed on the support in a balanced manner, the center of gravity is located inside the robot arm and in the vertical direction of the contact point of the robot arm with the support, and therefore, the distance from the contact point to the center of the rotation axis of the robot arm in the horizontal direction is used as the displacement from the center of gravity of the robot arm to the center of the rotation axis of the robot arm, so that the measured value can be more accurate, and the accuracy of subsequent calculation can be ensured.
The second method may directly measure the distance from the contact point to the center of the rotation axis of the robot arm as the displacement from the center of gravity of the robot arm to the center of the rotation axis of the robot arm, as shown in steps S123 and S124. Compared with the first method, because the angle between the direction from the contact point to the center of the rotating shaft of the mechanical arm and the horizontal direction is not large, the distance from the contact point to the center of the rotating shaft of the mechanical arm can be approximately used as the displacement from the gravity center of the mechanical arm to the center of the rotating shaft of the mechanical arm, the method is more convenient to operate, and the influence on the accuracy of subsequent calculation is not large.
When the displacement from the gravity center of the mechanical arm to the center of the rotation axis of the mechanical arm is measured and calculated, a blade can be fixed on the table top, and the complete mechanical arm is placed on the blade to keep balance on the support; and calculating the distance from the reference gravity center point to the center of the rotation axis of the mechanical arm by using the contact point as the reference gravity center point, and using the distance as the displacement from the gravity center of the mechanical arm to the center of the rotation axis of the mechanical arm. Or calculating the distance from the contact point of the mechanical arm and the support to the center of the rotation axis of the mechanical arm in the horizontal direction, and taking the distance as the displacement from the center of gravity of the mechanical arm to the center of the rotation axis of the mechanical arm.
The distances obtained by the two methods are different, and the distances can be approximately regarded as the displacement from the center of the mechanical arm to the center of the rotation shaft of the mechanical arm, so that the calculated mechanical arm can meet the design requirements.

Specifically, in this embodiment, a calculation formula of the torque parameter of the mechanical arm and a calculation formula of the reduction ratio are specifically given.
When designing a speed reducer, a user can directly estimate a large mechanical arm torque parameter such as 8Nm, and when the speed reducer designed according to the parameter is matched with a motor and the mechanical arm to move, the noise measured by the distance of 30cm is 63dB, which exceeds the normal noise acceptable to a human body. In the embodiment, the speed reducer is redesigned by accurately measuring the torque parameters of the mechanical arm, so that the purpose of reducing noise is achieved.
In order to accurately estimate the maximum torque of the whole mechanical arm rotating around the rotating shaft, a torque estimation method for the mechanical arm of the service robot rotating around the rotating shaft is provided. The specific estimation method and steps are as follows:
1. accurately measuring the mass m of the complete arm;

3. measuring the displacement L from the center of gravity to the center of the rotating shaft;
4. the torque calculation formula for a single complete arm rotating around the rotation axis is as follows:
M=mg*L
the maximum torque parameter of the mechanical arm obtained by the estimation method is 6.2Nm, the parameter is used as an index, the designed speed reducer and the designed motor are in parallel transmission connection as shown in figures 3, 4 and 5, and the speed reducer and the mechanical arm are in series transmission connection. In the figure, the speed reducer is connected with the mechanical arm through a transmission shaft, the transmission shaft is cylindrical, the diameter of the transmission shaft is phi 8-0.02 mm, and the length of the part of the transmission shaft extending out of the speed reducer is 6.9 +/-0.1 mm.

The lower structure of fig. 4 is a motor, and the upper structure is a speed reducer. After the speed ratio of the speed reducer is reduced, because the reduction ratio is equal to the output rotating speed of the motor/the output rotating speed of the speed reducer, when the original rated rotating speed of the motor is not changed, the output rotating speed of the corresponding speed reducer is increased; under the condition that the output rotating speed required by the speed reducing motor is not changed, the output rotating speed of the motor can be properly reduced, the rotating speed is reduced, and the vibration and noise level of the motor is reduced.
As shown in fig. 6, when the reducer designed according to the torque parameter of 6.2Nm is matched with a motor and a mechanical arm to work, the noise detected by 30cm away is reduced to below 55dB, so that the noise can be effectively reduced.
