Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bearing processing equipment, and particularly relates to a sealing structure for the workpiece spindle of a numerically controlled vertical lathe. Background Art
[0002] Existing numerically controlled vertical lathe equipment undertakes the processing of various processes of large bearing rings. During the processing, it is necessary to use cooling water to cool the cutting tool and the workpiece. Due to the defects of the original sealing structure of the workpiece spindle of the machine tool, the cooling water seeps into the spindle of the machine tool. The leaked cooling water flows into the oil sump through the spindle and then back to the fuel tank through the return oil pipe, polluting the hydraulic oil and causing various faults in the hydraulic system, which occur frequently. When more cooling water is mixed in, the hydraulic system will generate pressure fluctuations, resulting in unstable pressure. If a workpiece is being processed at this time, the clamping pressure of the chuck will be reduced. When the cutting force is greater than the clamping force, the workpiece will rotate, flip and fly out, and the tool holder will fall off, the workpiece will become a waste product, and even personal and equipment accidents will occur.
[0003] In the above situation, when repairing, it is necessary to change the hydraulic oil, clean the fuel tank, adjust the pressure and then work. The hydraulic oil needs to be replaced about every 2 to 6 months. The spare parts cost, hydraulic oil, maintenance cycle, workpiece waste products, etc. caused by such faults every year are tens of thousands of yuan, resulting in waste and increased costs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Further, a plurality of threaded holes are opened on the outer diameter of the chuck of the numerically controlled vertical lathe, and the upper sleeve is fixed to the chuck of the numerically controlled vertical lathe through a plurality of screws.

[0008] Preferably, the screw holes are countersunk screw holes, and the screws are M8 countersunk screws.
[0009] Further, the upper part of the middle annular plate is a slope surface that slopes from one side of the chuck of the CNC vertical lathe towards the side away from the chuck of the CNC vertical lathe.

[0017] Step 3: Fit the cap-shaped sealing ring made in Step 1 onto the chuck.
