Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electric spindles, and particularly relates to an electric spindle air-tight sealing structure and an electric spindle. BACKGROUND
[0002] An electric spindle is a new technology in the field of numerical control machine tools, which combines a driving motor and a rotating spindle into one. With the continuous development of science and technology, the performance requirements for electric spindles are becoming higher and higher. Electric spindles with high precision, high speed, high rigidity and high torque stand out, especially machining center electric spindles. Most machining center electric spindles use precision and super-high-precision rolling bearings. In order to protect the bearings from damage by water, oil and cutting chip pollutants, the spindle must use a sealing structure to prevent the entry of pollutants and corrosion of the bearings, thereby reducing the service life of the spindle.
[0003] Most existing spindle air-tight sealing structures only seal the front end of the spindle, often ignoring the sealing of the rear bearing of the spindle. During long-term use of the machining center spindle, there is a great possibility of leakage of the water leakage, which directly flows into the spindle from the tail, and then flows into the rear bearing of the spindle, affecting the service life of the spindle. Therefore, the air-tight sealing of the rear end of the spindle is also particularly important. Moreover, most existing spindle front-end air-tight sealing structures use a gas seal ring to generate a single circumferential air curtain. A limited number of uniformly distributed radial air holes are formed in the circumferential direction of the gas seal ring, so that the sealing gas enters the sealing gap from the air holes. The single air curtain has limited ability to prevent pollutants from entering the bearing, and over time, it still affects the service life of the spindle.

[0034] In addition, it should be noted that the use of "first", "second" and the like to define parts is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding parts, and the above words have no special meaning unless otherwise stated, therefore it cannot be understood as a limitation to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0035] For reference Figures 1-10As shown, according to the embodiment of the present application, an air-tight seal structure of an electric spindle is provided, comprising: a front flange 5, a second channel 8 is arranged on the front flange 5, an air-tight seal ring 9 is arranged on the front flange 5, a plurality of fifth channels 19 and a plurality of sixth channels 21 are arranged on the air-tight seal ring 9, the fifth channels 19 are arranged along the axial direction of the air-tight seal ring 9, the sixth channels 21 are arranged along the radial direction of the air-tight seal ring 9, a front end cover 13 is arranged on the front flange 5, a first gap is formed between the front end cover 13 and the air-tight seal ring 9, the air-tight seal ring 9 is sleeved on a front end nut 2 of the electric spindle, a third channel 18 is formed between the air-tight seal ring 9 and the front flange 5, one end of the second channel 8 communicates with the first channel 17, the other end of the second channel 8 communicates with the third channel 18, after the gas flows through the second channel 8 and the third channel 18 in sequence, part of the gas flows to a thread groove 20 of the front end nut 2 through the sixth channels 21, and the remaining gas flows to the first gap through the fifth channels 19. In this technical solution, after the gas enters from the second channel 8, part of the gas flows to the thread groove 20 of the front end nut 2 through the sixth channels 21 to form a first air curtain, and the remaining gas flows to the first gap through the fifth channels 19 to form a second air curtain. Twice air curtain structures are formed at the front end of the electric spindle, which can effectively prevent contaminants from entering the front bearing and affecting the service life of the spindle.
[0036] The related art provides an air-tight seal structure that forms a circumferential air curtain by using an air seal ring. The air holes are not radially symmetrically distributed, but are rotationally symmetrically distributed at a certain oblique angle. The diameter of the air holes is very small, and multiple clamping needs to be completed, which has high processing cost.
[0037] The related art also provides a structure that cancels the air seal ring and realizes the circumferential air curtain property of the front end of the spindle by cooperation between adjacent parts. However, this scheme only designs one air curtain to prevent contaminants from entering the bearing, and the additional contaminant discharge hole greatly affects the air curtain. The gas will flow out of the discharge hole, thereby increasing the risk of contaminants entering the front bearing.
[0038] In some embodiments, a plurality of seventh channels 22 are arranged on the front end cover 13, the seventh channels 22 are arranged along the front end cover 13 and penetrate the front end cover 13, one end of the seventh channel 22 is communicated with the fifth channel 19, the other end of the seventh channel 22 is arranged on the front end cover 13 away from the gas seal ring 9, and a plug 6 is arranged in the seventh channel 22. In the technical scheme, the contaminant storage cavity is formed at the front end cover 13, the front end nut 2 and the front end gas seal ring 9, when the electric spindle is normally operated, the seventh channel 22 is blocked, when the electric spindle is maintained, the seventh channel 22 is opened through the plug 6, the contaminant is discharged out of the electric spindle under the action of the airflow in the fifth channel 19, and the maintenance of the electric spindle is facilitated.
[0039] In some embodiments, the electric spindle gas seal structure further comprises a rear end pipeline disc 7 and a shaft sleeve 1, which are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the electric spindle, the rear end pipeline disc 7, the shaft sleeve 1 and the front end flange 5, a first channel 17 is arranged on the rear end pipeline disc 7, one end of the first channel 17 is arranged on the rear end pipeline disc 7, the other end of the first channel 17 penetrates the rear end pipeline disc 7 and the shaft sleeve 1 in sequence and is located in the front end flange 5, and is communicated with the second channel 8. In the technical scheme, the gas seal gas is transported to the inside of the electric spindle through the first channel 17, further, the electric spindle structure further comprises a front end separation ring 3, as shown in the drawing, a first groove is arranged on the front end separation ring 3, a second groove is arranged on the front end cover 13, the front end flange 5 has a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and a third gap exists between the front end flange 5 and the front end cover 13. When the contaminant enters the electric spindle from the third gap between the front end flange 5 and the front end cover 13, the contaminant will be deflected by 90° through the 9 stages, the difficulty of the contaminant entering the front bearing is increased, and the front bearing 4 of the electric spindle is ensured not to be contaminated. Figure 9

The gas blown out of the 20 axial holes forms a first air curtain in the air gap flow channel between the front-end air-tight sealing ring 9 and the front-end cover 13, and the gas blown out of the 4 radial holes forms a second air curtain at the circumferential triangular thread groove 20 of the front-end nut, which can effectively prevent contaminants from entering the front bearing and affecting the service life of the spindle. By designing the mechanical structures of the front-end flange 5, the front-end cover 13, the front-end nut 2 and the front-end spacer ring 3, a 9-stage 90° gap deflection is formed, the difficulty of the contaminants entering the front bearing is increased, and the front bearing of the spindle is ensured to be not contaminated.
