[0014] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0015] As Figure 1 shown, a high-speed electric spindle end composite sealing structure is disclosed, including a dust-proof cover 1, a sealing cover 2, a sealing ring 3, a front cover 4, a front bearing chamber 5, a bearing assembly 6 and a rotating shaft 7; the bearing assembly 6 is connected to the front bearing chamber 5 in an excessive manner, the rotating shaft 7 is in interference fit with the bearing assembly 6, and is locked by the sealing cover 2 installed at the front end of the rotating shaft 7. The front cover 4 is fixedly installed at the front end of the front bearing chamber 5 by screws, and is locked by the sealing cover 2 and presses the bearing assembly 6. An O-ring 29 is provided between the front cover 4 and the front bearing chamber 5. The sealing cover 2 is installed at the end of the rotating shaft 7, the front cover 4 is installed at the front end of the front bearing chamber 5, the sealing ring 3 is fixedly installed in the front cover 4 in an interference manner, and the dust-proof cover 1 is fixedly installed at the front end of the front cover 4 by screws.

[0016] In this embodiment, the front cover 4, the sealing ring 3, and the sealing cover 2 are all coaxially installed. After the front cover 4, the sealing ring 3, and the sealing cover 2 are installed, a clearance seal cavity 30 and a clearance labyrinth seal cavity 31 are respectively formed. The clearance seal cavity 30 and the clearance labyrinth seal cavity 31 constitute the labyrinth seal structure of the present invention.

[0017] In this embodiment, to further enhance the sealing effect and prevent water mist and oil mist from entering the bearing assembly 6, a circulating gas path is also provided in the present invention. The specific example is as follows: After the sealing cover 2, the dust cover 1, and the front cover 4 are assembled, a sealed gas storage cavity 22 and a gas path annular outlet 21 are formed; the sealing ring 3 is evenly distributed with siphon holes 28 in the circumferential direction, a siphon channel 26 is provided in the front cover 4, and the dust cover 1 is provided with an air inlet 24, a jet port 23, and a siphon port 25. During operation, compressed air enters through the air inlet 24, forms a high-speed air flow through the jet port 23 and is sprayed into the sealed gas storage cavity 22, and then flows out through the gas path annular outlet 21 to form an air curtain seal.

[0018] An air-sucking cavity 27 is formed between the sealing ring 3 and the front cover 4 after installation. The high-speed air flow ejected from the jet port 23 makes the siphon port 25, the siphon channel 26, and the air-sucking cavity 27 in a negative pressure state.

[0019] In this embodiment, during operation, if external water mist or oil mist enters the clearance seal cavity (30), the oil mist will be discharged along the siphon air path through the air curtain seal. The siphon holes 28, the siphon channel 26, and the siphon port 25 form a siphon air path. The air curtain seal, the clearance seal cavity 30, and the siphon air path form a circulating gas path.

[0020] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and deformations can be made, and these improvements and deformations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
