Patent ID: 8869651

Claim:
A harmonic reducer with clutch function, comprising: a circular spline having an inner wall defining an internal space, an internal gear composed of a plurality of internal gear teeth being formed circumferentially on said inner wall, wherein said circular spline is connected to an output shaft; a mounting base having an annular body; a one-way clutch mounted on an outer surface of said annular body; a flexspline, in form of a thin-walled cylinder, an external gear composed of a plurality of external gear teeth formed circumferentially on an outer surface of said thin-walled cylinder, wherein said outer surface of said thin-walled cylinder is mounted to an inner surface of said annular body of said mounting base; and a wave generator assembled within an inner surface of said thin-walled cylinder so as to deform said thin-walled cylinder, where said external gear of said thin-walled cylinder partially meshes with said internal gear of said circular spline; wherein said wave generator is connected with a power source so as to be driven thereby, which, in turn, causes said circular spline and said output shaft to rotate simultaneously.
