The invention relates to a rotating type varying stiffness flexible joint. The joint is characterized by comprising a driving disc, an end cover, a torsional spring, a special-shaped gear set, a standard gear set, a first shaft, a second shaft, an output shaft, a shaft end
fixed frame, a worm, a worm gear, a direct-current
speed reduction motor, a coupler, a connecting plate, a worm fixing block, a clamping spring, a motor mounting base, fixing blocks and a bearing pedestal; the driving disc is fixed to the end cover, the end of the driving disc is connected with an outer motor directly through a speed
reducer to serve as input of the flexible joint, the bearing pedestal and the shaft end fixing frame are arranged in the driving disc, the bearing pedestal and the driving disc are of an integral structure, the driving disc and the end cover are connected through a bolt to serve as a shell of the joint, the two ends of the shaft end fixing frame are fixed to the driving disc through the fixing blocks, the output shaft is fixedly arranged between the end cover and the shaft end foxing frame through a deep groove
ball bearing, and the output shaft is connected with an outer component; the first shaft and the second shaft are fixed to the driving disc and the end cover through the deep groove
ball bearing and the bearing pedestal.
