Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an electric spindle, in particular to a high-speed electric spindle capable of automatically changing tools, and belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment. Background Art

[0002] High-speed electric spindles with a speed of more than 9000r / min are the core basic spare parts of the current CNC machine tool equipment manufacturing industry. This type of electric spindle application must have a hollow water-cooled structure and be able to change tools. At present, this type of electric spindle technology is blocked by foreign countries and basically relies on imports. The import price is expensive, and the main technical obstacles to localization are as follows:

[0003] One is the problem of concentricity; this type of electric spindle is generally composed of an outer shell (also called a housing), a front end cover (also called a sealing cover), a stator installed in the outer shell, a spindle (also a rotor), and a knife-beating mechanism located in the spindle cavity. The spindle is supported in the outer shell by two sets of bearings at the front and back. The knife-beating mechanism is usually a pull rod passed through the hollow spindle, the front end of the pull rod is connected to the rear part of the knife claw, a disc spring is passed through the outside of the pull rod, and the rear ends of the disc springs are respectively pressed against the spindle, and the rear ends of the disc springs are pressed against the rear section of the pull rod (the adjacent sections are connected by threads), and the rear end of the pull rod extends out of the spindle, and a knife-beating cylinder is arranged behind the electric spindle in cooperation with the pull rod, and the pull rod is driven forward by the knife-beating cylinder to complete the knife-beating. A large amount of heat will be generated during the high-speed rotation of the electric spindle. If this heat is not eliminated in time, the resulting temperature rise will cause the spindle to change its axial direction and cause problems with machining accuracy. In order to meet the needs of spindle cooling, a cooling structure is also configured in this knife-beating structure. The cooling structure usually opens an axial Through hole, the rear end of the pull rod is connected to the rotary joint, and the coolant pipeline is connected to the rotary joint. The electric spindle shaft currently used in China basically relies on imports. One of the important reasons why this kind of spindle cannot be produced in China is the concentricity problem. Because the spindle has two sets of front and rear support bearings, and the rear end of the pull rod has a set of rear support bearings. During operation, the spindle and the pull rod rotate synchronously. When cutting, the rear support bearing of the pull rod also needs to move axially, so this place can only be a floating support, and the rear end of the pull rod must be connected to a rotary joint, and the support of the rotary joint also needs to be highly concentric with the spindle. Once there is one or more concentricity differences in these components, obvious vibration will occur when the electric spindle is running at high speed, affecting the machining accuracy of the machine tool, generating a lot of noise, and causing fatigue damage; most of the electric spindles produced by domestic manufacturers can either achieve automatic tool change but not mid-hole water cooling, or can achieve mid-hole water cooling but not automatic tool change under the requirements of high-speed operation;

[0004] Second, when cooling the tool, the cooling water will flow back from the front end into the inside of the electric spindle, causing damage to the electric spindle;

[0005] Third, the insulation resistance of the stator is low;

[0006] Fourth, the main shaft has poor sealing, which can easily lead to water ingress and cause failure;

[0007] Fifth, once the rotary joint is damaged, water can easily enter the inside of the spindle. The above problems will affect the service life and cost-effectiveness of the automatic tool changing high-speed electric spindle. Summary of the invention

The stator plastic sealing solves the problem of low insulation resistance, and the air sealing ring solves the problem of water backflow into the spindle. Each sealing ring can not only ensure good sealing, but also play a role in supporting and ensuring concentricity. The drain outlet of the rotary joint is external, and even if it is damaged, it will not cause water to flow into the electric spindle. After testing, the electric spindle can achieve the performance of similar foreign products, and the selling price can reach one-third of foreign products, which can generate objective profits.
