  • Patent number: 9109685
    Abstract: A flexspline protective structure includes a first rotation member, a second rotation member and a plurality of fixing members. The second rotation member is sleeved on the first rotation member. The plurality of fixing members fix the first rotation member and the second rotation member together and are capable of breaking off in the event of jamming or other mischance to enable the second rotation member to rotate freely relative to the first rotation member. The disclosure presents a robot arm mechanism equipped with the flexspline protective structure.

  • Patent number: 8550231
    Abstract: A conveying device includes a housing, a linear driving mechanism, a first sliding assembly, a second sliding assembly, and a carrying mechanism. The linear driving mechanism is assembled within the housing. The first sliding assembly is slidably assembled together with the second sliding assembly within the housing, and both sliding assemblies are driven by the linear driving mechanism to slide horizontally. The carrying mechanism is slidably sandwiched between the first sliding assembly and the second sliding assembly. The first sliding assembly and the second sliding assembly are driven by the linear driving mechanism to slide within the housing along either a same direction or along opposite directions.

  • Publication number: 20120049682
    Abstract: A magnetic gear includes a gear base, magnetic members, rotating members, operating members, and a cover. Each magnetic member is a bar magnet. The magnetic members are rotatably positioned on the gear base, and a rotation axis of the magnetic member is substantially parallel to an axis of the magnetic gear. The rotating members are also received in the gear base. The cover is fixed to the gear base, and defines a plurality of through holes corresponding to the magnetic members. The gear base includes a connecting plate. Magnetic torque between two magnetic gears and also the transmission ratio of the corresponding magnetic gears can be both changed by rotating the operating members together with the magnetic members and the rotating members, and by having the rotating member resisting a different restricting surface of the connecting plate.
