  • Publication number: 20180065828
    Abstract: A wire-shaped body winding mechanism provided by the present invention includes multiple rotary shafts for winding a wire-shaped body, where a main shaft member serves as a revolution central shaft and two split shaft members serve as rotation central shafts. The wire-shaped body is wound on the split shaft members and thus can be coiled or released with rotation of the main shaft member. Relative movement between the split shaft members and the wire-shaped body is realized through rotation of the split shaft members, and thus the wire-shaped body can move smoothly.

  • Patent number: 9850996
    Abstract: A motor-incorporating reducer includes a main body, a rotational actuating member, a flex spline, and an circular spline. The rotational actuating member has a rotating shaft, a wave generator, and a motor. The rotating shaft passes through the main body, and the elliptic wheel is integratedly formed around the rotating shaft. The motor has a magnetic motor rotator that is integratedly formed on the rotating shaft. With the integrated structure, the rotating shaft, the elliptic wheel, and the motor rotator can stably perform rotation, thereby eliminating the risk that the three, when formed separated and assembled, would become non-coaxial due to the resultant tolerance after assembly and have eccentric rotation, and in turn preventing adverse effects on the drive's output torque due to non-coaxial rotation and extending the drive's service life.

  • Patent number: 9774237
    Abstract: A slide-block-type shaft linear motor platform includes a mover and a stator. An air gap is defined between the mover and the stator. The air gap can communicate with outer side via a fluid inlet space. Accordingly, air convection can take place between the heat source, that is, the winding inside the mover and the outer side. Therefore, the heat generated by the winding can be continuously dissipated to prevent the components from deforming due to the heat. In this case, the precision of operation can be ensured and the performance of the motor will not deteriorate due to the heat.
