Abstract
The disclosure provides a joint module and an articulated robot. The joint module comprises a hollow shaft having first and second ends, a speed reducer assembly and a motor assembly sleeved on the hollow shaft, and an encoder assembly. The power output end of the motor assembly is connected to the first end via the speed reducer assembly. The encoder assembly comprises an encoder mounting base, outer, middle, and inner rings, input and output code wheels disposed on the inner ring, and an encoder read head mounted on the encoder mounting base. The inner ring is sleeved on and connected with the second end. The middle ring connected with the power output end is sleeved on the inner ring in a running fit. The outer ring is sleeved on the middle ring in a running fit and connected with the motor assembly via the encoder mounting base.
