ELECTRIC DRIVE BASED ON RESILIENT ENGAGEMENT PLANETARY CYCLOIDAL REDUCTION GEAR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC H02K57/00 H02K7/116 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of electrical engineering immediately dealing with design of gear motors and electric drives and is to find application in robot and manipulator high-precision drives, ground and space navigation, machine-tool industry, transportation sector, oil-and-gas industries etc. The proposed electric drive based on resilient engagement planetary cycloidal reduction gear contains an electric motor and a reduction gear rigidly mounted on the electric motor shaft and transmitting rotation to the output shaft through the reduction gear bearings. Under the first version of the invention implementation the electric drive reduction gear design envisages central position of the resilient elastic engagement between the elastic satellite and the central wheels which solution ensures their backlash-free, noiseless and generally optimal operation and utilisation. When the electric drive is controlled by a continuously-operated or a discrete electric motor the resilient circular screwed engagements of the elastic satellite and the spring-loaded rollers continuously remain in a central optimally self-adaptive engagement. Under the second invention implementation version the electric drive is designed as equipped with a planetary cycloidal reduction gear with the electric motor output shaft represented by a spring-loaded rotor connected to the output shaft of the reduction gear whose satellite continuously remains in a central slide-fit engagement with the central wheels magnetically conductive convex profile. Magnetic interaction of the resilient spring-loaded satellite with the central wheels springs is designed to proceed within a closed magnetic circuit without air gap. The electric drive is designed to equally allow of operation as continuously controlled by an electric motor and as discretely controlled via electric pulses received from the control unit or a digital computer. The proposed design of electric drive based on resilient engagement planetary cycloidal reduction gear enables significant improvement of the device performance characteristics.

EFFECT: provision for transformation of the electric motor rotor rotation into backlash-free and noiseless rotation of the output shaft ensuring considerable amplification of torque and capacity.
