Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/217415
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a joint unit wherein a joint mechanism (Mj) permits a first arm (10) to move about a first axis (Ax) and also permits the first arm (10) to move about a second axis (Ax2). The joint mechanism (Mj) has a first facing gear (1A) and a second facing gear (1B), which are capable of rotating independent of each other. The combination of the rotation of the first facing gear (1A) and the rotation of the second facing gear (1B) provides the movement of the first arm (10) about the first axis (Ax) and the movement of the first arm (10) about the second axis (Ax2). A first drive mechanism (M1) and a second drive mechanism (M2) respectively rotate the first facing gear (1A) and the second facing gear (1B). The first drive mechanism (M1) and the second drive mechanism (M2) are located on the same side relative to the joint mechanism (Mj). The joint mechanism (Mj) can provide the joint unit in which the operating force of the arms is increased and which can be easily mounted to a robot.
