[0002] In the field of modern machining, the application of horizontal spindles has become more and more common, and it plays a vital role in the machining process of parts. The precision and efficiency of the horizontal spindle not only determine the quality of the finished product, but also directly affect the output. However, the structural characteristics of the horizontal machine tool spindle, including the gaps between key components such as the spindle, end cover, sealing ring and front cover, bring some challenges to the machining process. These gaps provide opportunities for foreign matter such as cutting fluid, condensed water, fine cutting debris or dust, which can easily invade the inside of the spindle from the front end of the spindle. Once these foreign matter enters, they will damage the lubrication system of the bearing and cause lubrication failure. Lubrication failure further causes grinding and rusting of the bearing, which may eventually lead to bearing damage. Once the bearing is damaged, it will not only damage the precision of the horizontal spindle, but also cause the equipment to need to be repaired or replaced, thereby increasing the production and operation costs of the enterprise. Therefore, how to effectively solve this problem has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the machining industry. Summary of the invention
