Background
The servo motor is an electromagnetic device which performs mutual conversion between mechanical energy and electric energy by taking a magnetic field as a medium, and is widely applied to various fields such as industrial robots, numerical control machines and the like at present. As shown in fig. 1, the servo motor generally comprises a front end cover 1, a main bearing 2, a stator 3, a rotor 4, a secondary bearing 5, a middle end cover 6, a brake 7, a rear end cover 10, an encoder 11, an encoder cover 12, a motor shaft 13, and the like. The servo motor brake 7 has the function of emergency braking under the condition that the motor is suddenly powered off when working, so that mechanical parts driven by the motor can be quickly stopped to prevent danger. The working principle of the brake 7 is that when the brake is electrified, a coil of the brake generates a magnetic field, and an armature 8 of the brake is attracted to separate the armature from a friction plate 9 of the brake; when the power is suddenly cut off, the magnetic field disappears, the brake armature 8 is released, and the armature and the brake friction plate 9 are instantly contacted to generate huge friction force so as to enable the motor to stop rotating rapidly.
The applicant has found that the prior art has at least the following technical problems:
the braking mode adopts mechanical friction braking, but due to mechanical friction, after emergency braking, a large amount of iron powder can fall off from the friction plate, and when the robot moves, the large amount of iron powder can enter the encoder 11 along a gap between the rear end cover 10 and the motor shaft 13, so that the positioning of the encoder is influenced, and the motor cannot normally run.
