Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of CNC machine tool functional component design technology, and relates to an ultra-low temperature medium internal spray type double swing head electric spindle. Background Technology
[0002] In aerospace, petrochemical, and other fields, advanced materials such as high-temperature alloys and titanium alloys have become the preferred materials for key components such as aero-engines, gas turbine blades, impellers, and integral bladed disks due to their superior performance. Given the complex curved surface structures of these components, the high cutting temperatures in the machining area, and the poor surface quality under low-speed cutting, the development of advanced cooling, high-speed cutting, and multi-axis machining technologies is particularly urgent. An internal spray cooling method, which delivers ultra-low temperature media such as liquid nitrogen (-196℃) to the tool tip through an internal channel between a double-swivel head, electric spindle, and tool, not only achieves immediate and deep cooling of the cutting area, effectively reducing the cutting temperature, but also ensures the quality and efficiency of complex curved surface components under high-speed machining, meeting the urgent needs of key fields for new technologies in high-end component machining.
[0003] Therefore, the cryogenic medium internal spray type double-swivel head electric spindle has become one of the components for realizing high-speed multi-axis linkage machining at cryogenic temperatures. However, the development of the cryogenic medium internal spray type double-swivel head electric spindle faces many challenges. For example, the complex internal structure and motion of the double-swivel head electric spindle not only pose challenges to the design of the cryogenic medium conveying structure, but also significantly increase the difficulty of dynamic sealing and heat insulation. Once the cryogenic medium leaks or the heat insulation is insufficient, it will cause serious problems such as frosting, deformation, and lubrication failure, endangering the stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, the compatible design of the electric spindle tool changer and the cryogenic medium transmission structure must take into account both motion coordination and heat insulation sealing, which is extremely technically difficult. Therefore, overcoming the above-mentioned challenges is extremely important for the development of the cryogenic medium internal spray type double-swivel head electric spindle.
[0004] Currently, several structural forms have been invented by domestic and foreign institutions for internally cooled double-swivel head spindles. In 2021, Dalian University of Technology disclosed "an ultra-low temperature cooling medium internal spray mechanical spindle" in invention patent 202110373295.7. This device achieves ultra-low temperature medium transmission through the vacuum pipeline inside the spindle. However, due to the static design of the vacuum pipeline, it cannot be compatible with traditional tool-changing mechanisms, resulting in the lack of automatic tool changing function. In addition, this device is a mechanical spindle and does not involve a double-swivel head structure. In 2023, Hunan Huazhong CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. disclosed "a five-axis swivel head with both internal cooling and hollow high-pressure water outlet" in invention patent 202311298970.X. This device achieves the introduction of cooling water from the tail end of the spindle by designing a cooling channel in the stator of the spindle motor, and finally flows to the hollow channel inside the tool and is sprayed out in a high-pressure form. However, the cooling medium is water, and the design difficulty of the device is far less than that of ultra-low temperature medium. Moreover, the cooling water does not pass through the inside of the swivel head, so its heat insulation and sealing difficulty is relatively small. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies or practical application needs by proposing a cryogenic medium internal spray type double-swivel head electric spindle.

The flow rate is about 30 to 50 L / h, and the temperature is about -196 to -180℃, at which point machining can begin.
[0024] This invention employs a cooling approach where cryogenic medium is delivered to the tool tip via an internal channel connecting the dual-swivel head, electric spindle, and cutting tool, achieving point-to-point cooling of the cryogenic medium during dual-swivel head electric spindle cutting. The rational use of cryogenic rotary dynamic seal joints and cryogenic medium vacuum transmission pipelines ensures thermal insulation and sealing during cryogenic medium transmission. Core functional components for high-end cryogenic machining equipment are designed to facilitate the smooth implementation of high-speed cryogenic machining of complex curved surface components.
