Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of numerically controlled machine tools, and in particular relates to a spindle of a numerically controlled machine tool. Background Art
[0002] As an important functional component in CNC machine tools, the spindle plays a key role in parts processing. During the installation of the spindle, the front and rear bearings installed on the spindle need to be preloaded. At present, the spindles on the market are mainly divided into two types: positioning preload and constant pressure preload, according to the different bearing preload methods. Among them, the oil-gas lubrication constant pressure preload spindle is a representative of high-speed and high-performance spindles. The domestic market mainly relies on imports and lacks independent production capabilities. In order to meet the structural requirements of oil-gas lubrication and constant pressure preload, the existing constant pressure preload spindles usually design cooling structures for the outer ring of the front bearing. Some front bearings even have no cooling structure and only cool the bearings through oil-gas lubricating oil, resulting in a reduction in bearing life and affecting part processing efficiency. The existing constant pressure preload spindle only considers the external heat dissipation of the motor (that is, only the heat is dissipated on the periphery of the spindle sleeve), ignoring the heat transfer between the motor and the bearing. When the spindle is in a high-speed rotating working state, the stator of the motor will also generate a lot of heat, resulting in a temperature rise of the front and rear bearings on the spindle, affecting the bearing life and part processing efficiency. Summary of the invention

The traditional main shaft with center water outlet function has a center water outlet connecting pipe and a rear bearing pressure cover as a split structure. The center water outlet connecting pipe is fixed to the tool pulling rod by threads and moves with the tool pulling rod. With the increase in the number of times the tool is loosened and clamped, the center water outlet connecting pipe moves frequently relative to the center water outlet rotating joint.
