Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A driving module including a driving source configured to generate power, a gear train including a decelerating gear set configured to receive driving power from the driving source and a ring gear attached to one side thereof, and a rotary joint including at least one planetary gear configured to rotate using power received from an output end of the decelerating gear set and to revolve along the ring gear is disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A driving device comprising: a driving source configured to generate a driving power; a gear train including a decelerating gear set, a frame and a ring gear, the decelerating gear set configured to receive the driving power from the driving source, the frame surrounding the deceleration gear set, and the ring gear attached to one side of the frame; and a rotary joint including at least one planetary gear and a shaft-integrated frame defining an axis of rotation of the at least one planetary gear, the at least one planetary gear configured to rotate about the axis of rotation defined by the shaft-integrated frame using power received from an output end of the decelerating gear set while simultaneously revolving along the ring gear. 2. The driving device of claim 1 , wherein the decelerating gear set comprises: a base gear configured to act as the output end, the base gear including two base gears having different diameters, and the two base gears include a small-diameter gear configured to engage with the planetary gear. 3. The driving device of claim 1 , wherein the gear train further includes a joint aligning ring configured to fasten to the rotary joint, and the driving device further comprises: a joint bearing attached to one side of the gear train, the joint bearing configured to inhibit a separation of the joint aligning ring from the gear train. 4. The driving device of claim 3 , wherein the joint bearing is a thin section bearing configured to reduce a torsion of the rotary joint.
