Abstract

A power transmission device includes a pin gear having a plurality of power transmission pins that are relatively moved corresponding to a tooth shape formed on an outer gear, a motor arranged in a direction crossing a rotation axis of the pin gear, and generating power to rotate the pin gear, and a motion transfer unit connected to the pin gear and the motor between the pin gear and the motor, and transferring a rotational motion of the motor to a rotational motion of the pin gear.

Claims

1. A power transmission device comprising:

a pin gear having a plurality of power transmission pins that are rotationally moved by a corresponding tooth shape formed on an outer gear;

a motor arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to a rotation axis of the pin gear, and generating power to rotate the pin gear; and

a motion transfer unit connected to the pin gear and the motor between the pin gear and the motor, and transferring a rotational motion of the motor to a rotational motion of the pin gear;

wherein the motion transfer unit comprises;

a unit housing; and

a built-in deceleration module provided in the unit housing, and decelerating a rotation force of the motor and transferring a decelerated rotational force to the pin gear, wherein the built-in deceleration module comprises;
