It can be understood that the robot power module is a core component of the robot, and particularly in the mobile legged robot, the robot power module is required to exert a sufficiently large explosive force under the condition of small volume and light weight. In the related art, the motor and the speed reducer system are usually in series connection, which increases the axial size, causes the joint of the robot to be too bulky, occupies too large space, and affects the advance of the robot, for example, the joint is likely to collide with an external object during the moving and advancing process, and affects the overall beauty of the robot. In addition, the flexible wheel of the harmonic reducer is generally adopted for output in the related technology, so that the rotational inertia is large and the vibration is large.

In the power module 100 and the power plant 1000 of the embodiment of the application, the flexible wheel 12 is at least partially disposed in the housing cavity 102 and is dynamically coupled with the rigid wheel 111, the stator 13 is at least partially fixedly mounted in the housing cavity 102, the rotor 14 is rotatably mounted in the housing cavity 102 and is located outside the stator 13, and the rotor 14 rotates coaxially with the rigid wheel 111.

Meanwhile, the flexible wheel 12 is fixed with the shell 10, the rigid wheel 111 is driven to rotate through the deformation of the flexible wheel 12 to output power, the rotational inertia is small, and the vibration can be effectively reduced.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, after the stator 13 is powered on, the stator 13 drives the rotor 14 to rotate, the rotor 14 drives the wave generator 16 to rotate so as to drive the flexible wheel 12 to deform, and the flexible wheel 12 drives the rigid wheel 111 to rotate in the deformation process so as to implement power output.

The housing 10 serves as a bearing part of the whole power module 100, and may be made of a metal material or a non-metal material with high strength to meet the bearing requirement, the power module 100 may be mounted on the main body of the power equipment 100 through the housing 10, for example, the power module 100 may be mounted on the trunk 300 of the robot through a mounting through hole on the housing 10.

Specifically, the housing 10 may include a bottom wall 103 having a surrounding wall 104 connected to the surrounding wall 104, and the surrounding wall 104 and the bottom wall 103 together define a receiving cavity 102, and it is understood that, in some embodiments, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the surrounding wall 104 may be a hollow structure, for example, a plurality of heat dissipation holes (not shown) may be formed on the surrounding wall 104 to facilitate heat dissipation of a heat generating element such as the stator 13 disposed in the housing 10. Of course, in order to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the inner wall of the power module 100 while ensuring heat dissipation, a dustproof structure, such as a dustproof net, may be disposed on the hollow area of the surrounding wall 104, so as to prevent the dust and impurities from falling into the power module 100 while improving heat dissipation efficiency.

In the present application, the stator 13 and the rotor 14 may correspond to driving motors, and the arrangement of the stator 13 and the rotor 14 in the receiving cavity 102 of the housing 10 corresponds to the arrangement of the motor in the housing 10, which may effectively reduce the volume of the whole power module 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the rotor 14 is provided outside the stator 13, and both correspond to an outer rotor motor.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4 to 10, in such an embodiment, the flexible wheel 12 may include a flexible wall 121 and a mounting wall 122 connected to each other, the flexible wall 121 extending in an axial direction of rotation of the rotor 14, the flexible wall 121 being dynamically coupled to the rigid wheel 111, and the mounting wall 122 being fixedly connected to the housing 10. Mounting wall 122 and flexible wall 121 enclose a mounting cavity 123, and rotor 14 and stator 13 are all housed in mounting cavity 123.

Referring to fig. 4, 7 and 8, as an embodiment, the housing 10 includes a surrounding wall 104, a central shaft portion 105 and a bottom wall 103 connecting the surrounding wall 104 and the central shaft portion 105, the surrounding wall 104 and the bottom wall 103 together define a receiving cavity 102, and the mounting wall 122 of the flexible wheel 12 is fixedly connected to at least one of the surrounding wall 104, the bottom wall 103 and the central shaft portion 105. In this manner, the compliant wheel 12 and the housing 10 can be fixedly attached by only fixedly attaching the mounting wall 122 to at least one of the peripheral wall 104, the bottom wall 103, and the central shaft portion 105.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4, 5 and 10, in the illustrated embodiment, the compliant wheel 12 is substantially cup-shaped, the compliant wall 121 of the compliant wheel 12 extends along an axial direction of rotation of the rotor 14, that is, along a rotation axis of the rotor 14, the mounting wall 122 is connected to a bottom of the compliant wall 121 and bends inward relative to the compliant wall 121 along a radial direction, that is, bends and extends toward a side of the rotation axis of the rotor 14 relative to the compliant wall 121, a through hole is formed in the mounting wall 122, and the mounting wall 122 can be fixedly mounted on the housing 10 by a fastener such as a screw, a bolt, a pin, and the like, which is inserted through the through hole.

More specifically, in order to ensure the deformation of the flexible wall 121, the thickness of the flexible wall 121 may be set to be thin, a mounting protrusion 1221 with a thick thickness may be formed at an end of the mounting wall 122, the mounting protrusion 1221 is sleeved on the central shaft portion 105, the mounting wall 122 may be fixedly connected to the housing 10 by the mounting protrusion 1221, the mounting protrusion 121 is thick to ensure the connection strength between the flexible wheel 12 and the housing 10, in such a case, a through hole may be formed on the mounting protrusion 1221, and the mounting protrusion 1221 may be fixedly mounted on the housing 10 by a fastening element such as a pin, a screw, or a bolt penetrating through the through hole.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the compliant wheel 12 may omit the mounting wall 122 or directly extend the mounting portion 122 also in the axial direction of rotation of the rotor 14 and be fixedly connected directly to the bottom wall 103 of the housing 10. It will be appreciated that in such a case, the compliant wheel 14 may be substantially cylindrical.

Of course, referring to fig. 7, in other embodiments, the compliant wheel 12 may also be substantially hat-shaped, in such embodiments, the mounting wall 122 of the compliant wheel 12 is bent and extended outward in the radial direction relative to the compliant wall 121, that is, is bent and extended toward the side away from the rotation axis of the rotor 14 relative to the compliant wall 121, in such a case, the compliant wall 121 directly and separately encloses a mounting cavity 123, and the stator 13 and the rotor 14 may be at least partially accommodated in the mounting cavity 123.

Specifically, in such embodiments, the housing 10 may be a segmented housing 10, and in particular may be divided into a first portion and a second portion arranged one above the other, the second portion may be disposed above the first portion, and an annular mounting portion 1221 may be formed on the mounting wall 122 of the compliant wheel 12, and the annular mounting portion 1221 may be mounted between the first portion and the second portion. In such a case, the first and second portions of the housing 10 and the annular mounting portion 1221 of the compliant wheel 12 together enclose the receiving cavity 102.

In the present application, a central shaft portion 105 may be formed at a central position of the bottom wall 103, and the rotor 14 may be rotatably connected to the central shaft portion 105, which rotates around the central shaft portion 105, for example, a support bearing may be provided between the central shaft portion 105 and the rotor 14, and the support bearing may affect the rotation of the rotor 14 while supporting the rotor 14.

It will be appreciated that, in order to ensure that the compliant wheel 12 is sufficiently deformed by the wave generator 16, it may be preferable to fixedly connect the mounting wall 122 to the bottom wall 103 of the housing 10, so that the length of the compliant wall 121 is increased to allow sufficient deformation of the compliant wall 121 by the wave generator 16.

Referring to fig. 3 and 12, as an embodiment, a first ring gear structure 1111 is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the rigid wheel 111. The flexible gear 12 includes a mounting wall 122 and a flexible wall 121, the mounting wall 122 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, a second ring gear structure 1211 is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the flexible wall 121 opposite to the first ring gear structure 1111 of the rigid gear 111, the first ring gear structure 1111 and the second ring gear structure 1211 are partially engaged to couple the flexible gear 12 and the rigid gear 111, and the number of teeth of the second ring gear structure 1211 is less than that of the first ring gear structure 1111.

In this way, the flexible wall 121 of the flexible wheel 12 can drive the rigid wheel 111 to rotate to perform power output when being deformed by the partial meshing of the first ring gear structure 1111 and the second ring gear structure 1211.

In one embodiment, the cam 162 is detachably mounted on the rotor 14 or the cam 162 is integrated with the rotor 14, and an orthographic projection of the cam 162 in the axial direction of the rotor 14 is elliptical in outer contour.

In this way, the elliptical cam 162 and the compliant bearing 161 can constitute the wave generator 16, and when the rotor 14 rotates, the cam 162 follows and can rotate to periodically deform the compliant wheel 12, so that the compliant wheel 12 drives the rigid wheel 111 to rotate.

Specifically, in such an embodiment, the cam 162 may be detachably mounted on the rotor 14 through fastening elements such as screws or bolts or be directly made into an integral structure with the rotor 14, the contour of the cam 162 is oval, the rotation axis of the cam 162 coincides with the rotation axis of the rotor 14, the rotor 14 may drive the cam 162 to rotate when rotating, and the flexible bearing 161 drives the flexible wheel 12 to deform when the cam 162 rotates, so as to drive the rigid wheel 111 to rotate relative to the housing 10 to realize power output.

Referring to fig. 3 to 6, as an embodiment, the power module 100 further includes a first position detecting element 17, the first position detecting element 17 is at least partially received in an annular cavity 1620 formed by the cam 162 or disposed on a side of the wave generator 16 away from the stator 13, and the first position detecting element 17 is configured to detect rotational position information of the power output element 11.

Thus, the position and the rotation speed of the power output element 11 can be accurately obtained by the first position detecting element 17 for more accurate control, and the installation space of the housing 10 can be further saved by disposing the first position detecting element 17 in the accommodating cavity 102, so that the volume of the power module 100 can be made smaller.

In the present embodiment, "the first position detecting member 17 is disposed on a side of the wave generator 16 away from the stator 13" may be understood as that a side of the wave generator 161 facing away from the stator 14 includes at least one surface, and the first position detecting member 17 may be disposed in a space formed by planes of the surfaces facing away from the stator 13, which includes a region covered by the axial projection of the wave generator 16 and a region not covered by the axial projection of the wave generator 16, that is, the stator 13 and the first position detecting member 17 are disposed on opposite sides of the wave generator 16 in the axial direction.

The first position detecting member 17 is on both sides of the cam 162 with the rotor 14, that is, the first position detecting member 17 is located on the top of the wave generator 16.

Specifically, the first position detecting assembly 17 includes a first magnetic member 171 and a first sensing member 172, the first magnetic member 171 is fixedly connected to the power output member 11, and the first sensing member 172 is fixedly connected to the housing 10 and is disposed opposite to the first magnetic member 171 at a distance.

Further, in such embodiments, the cam 162 may be in the shape of a hollow ring, and the first position sensing assembly 17 may preferably be at least partially housed within the annular cavity 1620 of the cam 162. This can further reduce the stacking space in the axial direction of the entire power module 100 so that the entire volume of the power module 100 can be made smaller, while also separating the first position detecting 17 assembly from the stator 13 by the cam 162 and the rotor 14. On one hand, local overheating caused by heat source concentration can be avoided, and on the other hand, the magnetic field generated by the stator 13 during operation can be prevented from influencing the detection accuracy of the first position detection assembly 17 by separating the two.
