  • Patent number: 7901316
    Abstract: An oscillating inner gearing planetary gear system is provided which does not need to occupy a large space even in a state where a driving source is joined. In particular, the axial length thereof can be shortened, and a large diameter hollow shaft therethrough can be formed. The oscillating inner gearing planetary gear system (100) is configured in such a manner that rotation of an input shaft (104) is reduced by internal oscillating bodies (116A,116B) oscillatingly rotating relative to an external gear (118), and the reduced output is delivered by the external gear (118) also serving as an output shaft. A middle shaft (108) is located parallel to the external gear (118) at a position more radially outward than the internal oscillating bodies (116A,116B). An orthogonal gearset (106) connects the middle shaft (108) and the input shaft (104) at a right angle.

  • Patent number: 7819770
    Abstract: An oscillating internally meshing planetary gear system is provided in order to improve basic performance and reduce cost at the same time. The oscillating internally meshing planetary gear system has an internal gear and external gears internally meshing with the internal gear and is configured such that one of the external gears and the internal gear is oscillatingly rotated by means of eccentric bodies formed in an input shaft (eccentric body shaft). The system includes: a sliding motion-facilitating member intervening between an outer periphery of the eccentric body and the oscillating gear; and an eccentric body shaft bearing supporting the eccentric body shaft. In addition to this, the eccentric body shaft bearing and the sliding motion-facilitating member have the same configuration.

  • Publication number: 20060213307
    Abstract: The power transmission device includes an internal gear and an external gear that is inscribed in the internal gear and engages with the internal gear, and can transmit an input power to an attachment. The power transmission device further includes: an inner pin for bringing out a relative rotation component between the internal gear and the external gear; and an output flange connected to the inner pin. In this configuration, the inner pin and the output flange are integrally formed as one member, and a mounting hole for connecting the output flange to the attachment is formed in a surface of the output flange that is opposite to the inner pin.

  • Publication number: 20040097319
    Abstract: The wobbling inner gearing planetary gear system has planetary external gears and an internal gear with which the external gears internally mesh, a center axis of the system being located inside periphery of the external gears The method is a method of reducing angle transmission errors in the system, in which the number of teeth of the internal gear is X·n (X: even number of 4 or more; n: integer), and the difference in the number of teeth between the internal gear and external gears is 2. The external gears are superposed and machined to collectively form respective external gear teeth and through holes. The external gears are grouped into pairs and these pairs are circumferentially offset from each other by 360°/X around the center axis. One of each pair of the external gears is shifted parallel in 180° opposite direction away from the other one of each pair of the external gears.
