Description

[0002] The electric spindle is a high-precision mechanical device that integrates an electric motor and a spindle. It is widely used in CNC machine tools, machining centers, and automation equipment. The core components of the electric spindle include a rotor, a stator, a bearing, and a cooling system. When the electric spindle runs at high speed, a large amount of heat will be generated due to bearing friction, the rotor cutting the magnetic flux lines, and the thermal effect of the motor itself. If the temperature rise is not effectively controlled, this heat will cause the internal temperature of the electric spindle to rise, affecting the lubrication and life of the bearings, and even causing overheating and damage to the bearings. High temperature will also cause thermal expansion of the spindle components, change the geometry of the spindle, and thus affect the machining accuracy. In addition, by controlling the bearing preload, a larger preload can be provided at low speeds to ensure rigidity, while the preload can be reduced at high speeds to reduce friction and heat, extend the bearing life, and ensure machining accuracy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 and Fig.13The present embodiment proposes an electric spindle structure, including a housing 1, wherein a rotating shaft 3 and a bearing 8 are arranged inside the housing 1, wherein two bearings 8 are arranged, wherein the outer ring of the bearing 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the inner ring of the bearing 8 is fixedly sleeved on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3, and the bearing 8 serves as a rotating support component for the rotating shaft 3 to rotate freely inside the housing 1, and a rotor 7 is also fixedly sleeved on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3, and a stator 6 adapted to the rotor 7 is installed at a position corresponding to the rotor 7 inside the housing 1, and a gap 16 is formed between the stator 6 and the rotor 7, and a rotating magnetic field is generated by the current of the stator 6, thereby driving the rotor 7 to rotate, and since the rotor 7 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 3, the rotating shaft 3 also rotates accordingly; the temperature rise of the main shaft It comes from two aspects: the heat generated by bearing friction and the heat generated by the rotor cutting the magnetic field. First, as the core of the rotating support component of the shaft 3, the preload force of the shaft 3 has an important influence on the stiffness and temperature rise of the main shaft. For example, at low speed, the heat generated by the bearing 8 is small and the internal clearance is large. In order to improve the stiffness of the main shaft, the preload force needs to be increased; at high speed, the heat generated by the bearing 8 increases significantly, and the internal clearance will decrease due to thermal expansion, so the preload force should be appropriately reduced; second, when the rotor 7 rotates at high speed, due to the viscosity of the fluid, this means that there is a viscous force between the fluid molecules and between the fluid and the solid surface. The layer of fluid close to the solid surface is called the boundary layer. In the high-speed rotating rotor 7, The fluid molecules on the surface of the rotor 7 will be dragged by the movement of its surface. This viscous drag force will produce an "adsorption" effect between the fluid and the surface of the rotor 7, so that the fluid molecules are tightly attached to the surface of the rotor 7, forming a laminar boundary layer with smooth flow. The gap 16 between the stator 6 and the rotor 7 is relatively small, resulting in a small volume of fluid that can flow per unit time. Affected by the boundary layer, the fluid renewal speed in the boundary layer is slowed down, further reducing the heat exchange efficiency between the fluid and the rotor 7. Therefore, preload rings 9 are provided on the outer sides of the two bearings 8. The preload rings 9 are slidably sleeved between the housing 1 and the shaft 3. The preload rings 9 apply a force to the bearing 8 along the axial direction of the shaft 3 toward the direction close to the bearing 8. Increase the preload force of the bearing 8; a plurality of guide rings 61 are installed on the inner wall of the stator 6, and the guide ring 61 is located in the gap 16 and is provided with a guide portion 611 for changing the movement direction of the coolant near the end face of the rotor 7; the rotation speed of the shaft 3 is detected by the collecting component 17 arranged inside the housing 1, and when the rotation speed of the shaft 3 increases, the force applied by the preload ring 9 to the bearing 8 is reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the preload force of the bearing 8, and at the same time, the guide ring 61 is flipped toward the direction close to the rotor 7, and the coolant away from the boundary layer is guided to move in the direction close to the boundary layer, disturbing and destroying the original boundary layer, so that the fluid in the boundary layer is quickly renewed, and the overheating and heat accumulation problems near the surface of the rotor 7 are effectively reduced.

[0043] On the basis of the above scheme, the present invention utilizes the method of increasing the amount of coolant entering to achieve the reduction of the bearing preload and the action of the guide ring 61. Specifically, a separation ring 2 is arranged between the shell 1 and the rotating shaft 3. The separation ring 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1. The separation ring 2 is movably sleeved on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3. The inner cavity of the shell 1 is divided into two relatively independent spaces, a first chamber 4 and a second chamber 5, by the separation ring 2. The two bearings 8 are both located in the first chamber 4, and the stator 6 and the rotor 7 are both located in the second chamber 5. Through this design, the two heat sources are first separated for separate cooling, thereby reducing the heat generated by asynchronous heat exchange. interference, and secondly, effectively reducing the cooling path length of a single heat source and improving the cooling efficiency; the first chamber 4 is connected to a first liquid inlet pipe 10 and a first liquid outlet pipe 14, and the communication position of the first liquid inlet pipe 10 and the first chamber 4 is set between the two pre-tightening rings 9, and the second chamber 5 is connected to a second liquid inlet pipe 11 and a second liquid outlet pipe 15. The first liquid inlet pipe 10 and the second liquid inlet pipe 11 are connected to the liquid inlet main pipe 12 through a three-way pipe, and the other end of the liquid inlet main pipe 12 is connected to the output end of the coolant supply device. The liquid inlet main pipe 12 is provided with an electric control valve 13, which is electrically connected to the collection component 17. The first outlet The other ends of the liquid pipe 14 and the second liquid outlet pipe 15 are connected to the input end of the coolant supply device and form two cold cycles. When the collection component 17 detects that the speed of the shaft 3 increases, the opening of the electric control valve 13 increases, increasing the amount of coolant entering. A part of the coolant enters the first chamber 4 through the first liquid inlet pipe 10. This part of the coolant exerts a force on the two preload rings 9 in a direction away from the bearing 8, forcing the preload ring 9 to exert a force on the bearing 8 to reduce, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the preload force of the bearing 8. At the same time, the method of increasing the coolant also improves the heat exchange efficiency of the bearing 8; the guide ring 61 is a cavity structure, and several guide rings 6 1 are not only interconnected, but also connected to the second chamber 5. The side of the guide ring 61 away from the guide portion 611 is provided with an expansion portion 612 with a larger expansion coefficient, and the remaining portion has a smaller expansion coefficient. When another part of the coolant enters the second chamber 5 through the second liquid inlet pipe 11, as the volume of the coolant flowing into the inner cavity of the guide ring 61 increases, the expansion portion 612 expands, causing the guide ring 61 to move toward the direction close to the rotor 7, changing the original flow direction of the coolant away from the boundary layer to move toward the direction close to the boundary layer, so as to break the boundary layer and replace the fluid in the boundary layer, thereby significantly improving the heat conduction and convection heat transfer performance of the boundary layer.

[0044] In this embodiment, a spring 92 is provided on the side of the preload ring 9 away from the bearing 8, and a force is applied to the preload ring 9 toward the bearing 8 through the spring 92. Preferably, the spring 92 is a conical disc spring. In order to limit the movement stroke of the preload ring 9, a limiting groove 91 is provided inside the housing 1 corresponding to the position of the preload ring 9, and the maximum movement stroke of the preload ring 9 is limited by the limiting groove 91 to avoid excessive extrusion of the preload ring 9 on the bearing 8.

[0045] In order to further improve the ability to accurately control the bearing preload, in this embodiment, an intermediate ring 41 is arranged between the two bearings 8, the circumferential surface of the intermediate ring 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, and the intermediate ring 41 is movably sleeved on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3. A plurality of piezoelectric ceramic columns 42 are embedded in the end surface of the intermediate ring 41 close to the bearing 8. By adjusting the length of the piezoelectric ceramic columns 42, the preload of the bearing 8 can be further adjusted, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the bearing preload.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the guide portion 611 is an outwardly concave arc-shaped structure, and the coolant away from the boundary layer is guided by the guide portion 611 to move toward the boundary layer, and the movement direction of the guided coolant in the axial direction of the shaft 3 is opposite to the movement direction of the coolant in the boundary layer. This design can frequently update the boundary layer fluid, reduce the temperature and velocity gradients, and form turbulence in the boundary layer, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency.

[0047] In addition, in order to ensure that the expansion part 612 can fully expand, a reserved chamber 63 matching the expansion part 612 is opened inside the stator 6 in this embodiment, and sufficient space is reserved for the expansion of the expansion part 612 through the reserved chamber 63; an opening 613 is opened on the surface of the guide ring 61, and the opening 613 is connected to a connecting channel 62 opened on the stator 6, and the connecting channel 62 is connected to the second chamber 5. The other end of the connecting channel 62 is arranged near the connection position between the second liquid inlet pipe 11 and the shell 1, which is conducive to the coolant entering the inner cavity of the guide ring 61.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] See also Figure 9-12 and Fig.14This embodiment and the first embodiment adopt the same inventive concept, and the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the separation ring 2 is designed to be a pump body structure, and a liquid inlet 21 is installed on the end face of the separation ring 2 close to the preload ring 9, and the liquid inlet 21 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 3. The circumferential surface of the separation ring 2 is provided with a liquid outlet 22 communicated with the second chamber 5, and the inner cavity of the separation ring 2 is provided with an impeller 23, and the impeller 23 is fixedly sleeved on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3. When the impeller 23 rotates at a high speed, a negative pressure is formed, and a suction force is formed at the opening of the liquid inlet 21. The suction force forms a pulling force on the preload ring 9 close to the side of the separation ring 2, and the pulling force offsets part of the thrust of the spring 92 on the preload ring 9, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically reducing the preload force of the bearing 8 at high speed, and realizing the adaptive adjustment of the bearing preload force.

[0050] In order to achieve synchronous adjustment of the preload force of the two bearings, a relative motion mechanism is provided between the two preload rings 9 in this embodiment. When the preload ring 9 on the side close to the separation ring 2 is subjected to suction and moves in a direction away from the bearing 8, the other preload ring 9 moves in a direction away from the bearing 8 simultaneously. Specifically, the relative motion mechanism adopts a gear rack structure, that is, the two preload rings 9 are both equipped with a set of centrally symmetrically arranged racks 93, and a gear 94 is meshed and connected between the two racks 93 located on the same horizontal plane, and the gear 94 is installed inside the housing 1 through a short shaft rotation; in order to ensure that the preload ring 9 cannot produce self-rotation during movement, a guide rib 95 arranged parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3 is installed on the circumferential surface of the preload ring 9, and a slide groove adapted to the guide rib 95 is opened inside the housing 1, and the guide rib 95 is slidably assembled in the slide groove. It should be noted that after the rack 93 is installed, the entire preload ring 9 is still slidably assembled between the housing 1 and the rotating shaft 3, and there is no gap between the three, which meets the condition of pushing the preload ring 9 to move in a direction away from the bearing 8 by adding coolant.

[0051] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet 22 is connected to one end of the gap 16, and the liquid outlet 22 is inclined. The high-speed rotating impeller 23 pumps the sucked coolant out through the liquid outlet 22. The coolant is ejected at a certain angle through the liquid outlet 22, so that the coolant near the port area of ​​the gap 16 forms turbulence, thereby improving the mixing effect of the coolant and enhancing the convective heat transfer.

[0052] The cooling liquid supply device, the piezoelectric ceramic column 42, and the collection component 17 use currently known equipment. Since they are not the focus of the technical solution to be protected by this application, they will not be described in detail.
