Two-degree-of-freedom differential mechanical arm joint module
Technical Field
The invention relates to a two-degree-of-freedom differential mechanical arm joint module, and belongs to the field of medical robots.
Background
The mechanical arm of the medical robot has unique requirements because the mechanical arm is applied to an operating room and is directly contacted with a human body. One requirement is that the mechanical arm is slender and is straight when being straightened, so that the blockage of the mechanical arm to the view of a doctor (or an assistant of the doctor) can be reduced to the greatest extent. In order to ensure that the mechanical arm is slender in appearance and has strong power output, the joint design is very important. The differential mechanism has the characteristics of compact structure, uniform stress, strong bearing capacity and the like, and the scheme of the differential mechanism is adopted to realize the large-torque compact mechanical arm joint.
Patent CN106182071a proposes a design scheme of a two-degree-of-freedom differential joint module. The patent adopts a gear to connect the output of a motor, and realizes differential transmission by adopting a method of 4 equal-diameter bevel gears. The drawback of the patent CN106182071A technology. 1. The error is large: CN106182071A adopts motor output end direct connection reducing gear box, and the rethread gear wheel transmission moment of torsion reaches the bevel gear (promptly motor-reduction gear-gear) after slowing down. This does not take into account measures for eliminating backlash on the one hand, but on the other hand, the solution is to connect the gear after deceleration so that the errors of the gear are directly transmitted to the output. 2: the cross shaft bears strong load to cause the shaft to be easily damaged, and the output end of the cross shaft of CN106182071A is directly and fixedly connected with the gear through a key to bear all the load to cause the shaft to be easily damaged. 3. The precision is lower: the output end (the position of the constant-diameter bevel gear) is not provided with an encoder, and the angle of the actual output end cannot be detected, so that the error of the transmission mechanism cannot be detected.
