Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of machining spindles, and more specifically, to an adjuster for a hydrostatic spindle with self-feedback and self-adjustment. Background Art

[0002] The machine tool spindle is the core functional component of modern machine tools, and its function is to drive the tool (grinding wheel) or workpiece to rotate to achieve high-speed precision machining. A hydrostatic bearing is a sliding bearing that uses a pressure pump to force a pressure lubricant into the tiny gap between the bearing and the shaft. A hydrostatic spindle is the product of the combination of the two. The spindle is supported by a hydrostatic bearing, integrating the functions of the machine tool spindle and the motor structurally.

[0003] Among them, the hydrostatic spindle mainly includes a bearing body and a spindle. The bearing body is composed of a shaft housing and a bearing bush. The bearing bush is arranged outside the spindle, and the shaft housing is arranged outside the bearing bush to form a system support. A corresponding flow channel is arranged in the shaft housing to provide oil for the gap between the bearing bush and the spindle. The bearing bush is usually made of high-strength steel or cast iron, and its inner surface is precision machined to ensure smoothness and flatness, which helps the formation of an oil film. At the same time, the hydrostatic spindle also includes a restrictor, which can be in the form of a fixed-size orifice, a capillary tube, or an adjustable valve body, etc. By adjusting the opening degree of the restrictor to adapt to different working conditions (the throttle surface controls the flow rate and pressure of the fluid by restricting the flow area of the fluid, thereby precisely controlling the speed and pressure of the system. This control is very important for maintaining the stability and efficiency of the system, including flow control, pressure regulation, temperature management, and preventing blockage, etc.).

[0004] An oil cavity is also arranged between the bearing bush and the spindle, so as to store lubricating oil and provide necessary space for the formation of the oil film (located on the inner wall of the bearing bush and distributed around the journal. When designing, the number and layout of the oil cavities need to be considered to optimize the pressure distribution of the oil film).

[0005] In addition, the hydrostatic spindle is also correspondingly provided with an oil supply system to supply clean and pressure-stable lubricating oil to the bearing. It mainly includes components such as an oil pump, a filter, a cooling device, a pressure regulating valve, etc. and a sealing device (adopting mechanical seals, labyrinth seals or other forms of seals. Good sealing performance is very important for maintaining the cleanliness of the system), etc. Ensuring the quality of the lubricating oil is crucial for maintaining the stability of the oil film.

[0006] Although the hydrostatic spindle achieves non-contact support through the oil film, theoretically reducing the direct metal-to-metal contact friction, in practical applications, under the high-speed rotation of the spindle, the flow of lubricating oil in the bearing clearance will generate shear force. This shear action will cause relative movement between lubricating oil molecules, which will then be converted into heat. Especially for the oil film formed under high-pressure conditions, the internal shear will result in energy loss and release it in the form of heat. Regarding the oil supply system, during the circulation of lubricating oil, the lubricating oil can be cooled by an external cooling device to avoid excessive lubricating oil temperature. However, during use, the temperatures of the bearing and the spindle will still change. Especially when the spindle is used for a long time in machining and at a high operating speed, the temperatures of the bearing and the spindle will also increase. At this time, since the overall texture of the spindle is uniform, the resulting thermal deformation is also relatively uniform. For the bearing, multiple oil cavities are provided inside it. In the circumferential direction, the inner wall structure of the bearing is slightly uneven. However, for a hydrostatic spindle with relatively small oil cavities, the thickness of the lubricating oil in the oil cavity is relatively low. Therefore, the heat transfer difference of the lubricating oil between the oil cavity and the remaining clearances is not significant, and the overall thermal deformation of the bearing is also within a controllable range.

[0007] However, for some heavy-duty machining and processing equipment that needs to face sudden loads or impacts, such as large grinding machines, it is necessary to use oil cavities with a larger space. Thus, when the spindle bears a large radial or axial load, the larger oil cavities can store more lubricating oil, provide stronger load-bearing capacity, and help disperse the pressure to ensure the stability of the oil film and prevent failure caused by local overload.

[0008] For such equipment, due to the increased space of the oil cavity, the thickness of the lubricating oil in the oil cavity is relatively high during use. At this time, the thickness difference between the lubricating oil in the oil cavity and that in the clearance is relatively large, and the temperature conduction difference is also relatively large. Especially during the grinding of large workpieces, the processing cycle is long, the processing load is large, and the temperature change of the spindle is large. At this time, the uneven heat conduction leads to uneven temperature distribution on the inner wall of the bearing, resulting in relatively uneven thermal deformation of the bearing. At this time, it is easy to cause a large error in the radial direction of the spindle rotation, forming radial runout, which will further increase the vibration intensity of the spindle and affect the processing accuracy of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0009] An adjuster for a self-feedback and self-adjusting hydrostatic spindle provided by the present invention aims to solve the following problem: For existing heavy-duty machining and processing equipment that needs to face sudden loads or impacts, the space of the oil cavity increases, and the thickness of the lubricating oil in the oil cavity is relatively high during use.

Detailed implementation manners

[0038] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation manners are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application according to the above application content.

[0039] Refer to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figures 1 to 14, An adjuster for a self-feedback and self-adjusting hydrostatic spindle, comprising a hydrostatic spindle system 1, a monitoring system 2, and a temperature adjustment system 3. The temperature adjustment system 3 is configured with a cooling and temperature adjustment system 4. Among them, the hydrostatic spindle system 1 includes a spindle housing 11, a main shaft 12, and a bearing bush 13. The main shaft 12 is rotatably installed inside the bearing bush 13, and the bearing bush 13 is installed in the spindle housing 11 (usually fixedly installed). The mating surface between the bearing bush 13 and the main shaft 12 is set as a clearance surface 131. A plurality of oil cavities 132 are arranged along the circumferential direction on the clearance surface 131. The oil cavities 132 are recessed. A dynamic sealing structure 14 (common structures for rotating seals such as hydrostatic bearings, such as mechanical seal structures, packing seal structures, and labyrinth seal structures, etc.) is provided between the two ends of the main shaft 12 and the bearing bush 13. The hydrostatic spindle system 1 further includes an oil supply system and a lubricating oil passage. The oil supply system fills the clearance surface 131 and the oil cavities 132 with lubricating oil through the lubricating oil passage, and forms a pressure oil film between the main shaft 12 and the clearance surface 131, thereby forming a support for the main shaft 12.

[0040] Specifically, the oil supply system is a hydraulic oil pump and its affiliated hydraulic oil, hydraulic oil cooling equipment, etc. The lubricating oil passage includes an oil inlet passage 111 and an oil outlet passage 112 provided on the spindle housing 11, a radial throttle hole 133 and an axial throttle hole 134 provided on the bearing bush 13. Among them, the radial throttle hole 133 and the axial throttle hole 134 are both correspondingly arranged with the oil inlet passage 111 and are connected. The radial throttle hole 133 extends inward to the oil cavity 132 to directly supply oil to the oil cavity 132. The axial throttle hole 134 extends toward the dynamic sealing structure 14 to supply oil to the inside of the dynamic sealing structure 14. A return groove 136 is further provided inside the bearing bush 13. The return groove 136 is used to connect the space between the dynamic sealing structure 14 and the main shaft 12 with the clearance surface 131, and finally connect with the oil outlet passage 112, thereby forming an oil supply path and filling the space between the main shaft 12 and the bearing bush 13 with lubricating oil.

[0041] Among them, oil inlet throttle guiding grooves 135 are provided at the positions corresponding to the radial throttle hole 133 and the axial throttle hole 134 on the outer wall of the bearing bush 13. The oil inlet throttle guiding grooves 135 surround the bearing bush 13, and the oil inlet throttle guiding grooves 135 are correspondingly arranged with the oil inlet passage 111, so as to be able to form an oil supply guide to ensure that the lubricating oil can be quickly and evenly distributed when entering. At the same time, a throttling structure can also be formed by means of the radial throttle hole 133 and the oil inlet throttle guiding grooves 135.

[0042] In the above-mentioned hydrostatic spindle system 1, the lubricating oil in the oil chamber 132 not only plays a load-bearing role, but also provides a good lubrication effect, reduces the direct contact between the main shaft 12 and the bearing 13, and thus prolongs the service life. When the main shaft 12 rotates, the oil chamber 132 can also generate liquid dynamic pressure, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity and oil film stiffness, especially when running at high speed. By utilizing the unique structure of the oil chamber 132, the main shaft 12 is in a pure hydrostatic state when it is not rotating, and a dynamic pressure bearing oil film is naturally formed when it rotates, thereby improving the stiffness of the system. It should be noted that the solution of the above-mentioned hydrostatic spindle system 1 is a mature solution of the existing hydrostatic spindle and hydrostatic bearing, and its detailed structure will not be explained in detail in this embodiment.

[0043] In the above embodiment, although the lubricating oil itself is equipped with a cooling device to cool the lubricating oil when it circulates to avoid heat superposition of the lubricating oil, the lubricating oil has a high viscosity and flows slowly during actual use, which can only ensure that the lubricating oil is in a normal working state. However, during actual use, heat is continuously generated in the hydrostatic spindle system 1, especially the bearing 13 will be deformed by heat. When the oil cavity 132 is too large, the thickness of the lubricating oil in the oil cavity 132 is relatively large. Therefore, the physical structure of the bearing 13 at the oil cavity 132 and the clearance surface 131 is heated differently, which easily produces temperature differences, and then leads to uneven thermal deformation, thereby causing rotation errors and vibration superposition of the spindle 12. Therefore, this embodiment, based on the above, is equipped with a monitoring system 2, a temperature adjustment system 3 and a cooling and temperature control system 4 for the hydrostatic spindle system 1, wherein the monitoring system 2 includes The temperature monitoring component 21 and the vibration monitoring component 22, the temperature monitoring component 21 is set into two groups, and the two groups of temperature monitoring components 21 are respectively set corresponding to the gap surface 131 and the oil chamber 132, that is, the two groups of temperature monitoring components 21 are respectively used to detect the surface temperature of the gap surface 131 and the surface temperature of the oil chamber 132. Specifically, corresponding temperature sensors can be embedded and installed on the inner side of the two surfaces to detect the temperature of the material in the corresponding area, and the detected information is transmitted to the control system of the grinder, so as to form temperature monitoring of different areas in the inner wall of the temperature monitoring component 21, and the vibration monitoring component 22 is embedded and installed in the bearing 13. The vibration monitoring component 22 is used to detect the vibration of the main shaft 12 during rotation, such as using an eddy current sensor for non-contact detection. At the same time, the vibration monitoring component 22 also transmits the detection information to the control system of the processing grinder to form vibration monitoring of the main shaft 12.

[0044] Since the thickness of the lubricating oil in the gap surface 131 and the oil cavity 132 is different, the resulting heat conduction and thermal deformation are different. Therefore, in this embodiment, corresponding cooling structures are respectively provided for the gap surface 131 and the oil cavity 132. For details, refer to the attached specification. Figures 2 to 6, the temperature adjustment system 3 includes a first cooling control component 31 and a second cooling control component 32. The first cooling control component 31 includes a first cooling flow channel 311, and the second cooling control component 32 includes a second cooling flow channel 321. The first cooling flow channel 311 is arranged in the area of the bearing bush 13 corresponding to the oil cavity 132, and the second cooling flow channel 321 is arranged in the area of the bearing bush 13 corresponding to the clearance surface 131. The first cooling flow channel 311 is connected to a first cooling fluid supply unit. The first cooling flow channel 311 is connected to a first input pipe 312 and a first output pipe 313. The first cooling fluid supply unit supplies flowing cooling fluid into the first cooling flow channel 311 through the first input pipe 312. The second cooling flow channel 321 is connected to a second cooling fluid supply unit. The second cooling flow channel 321 is connected to a second input pipe 322 and a second output pipe 323. The second cooling fluid supply unit supplies flowing cooling fluid into the second cooling flow channel 321 through the second input pipe 322. Both the first cooling fluid supply unit and the second cooling fluid supply unit are connected to the cooling and temperature adjustment system 4, that is, the cooling and temperature adjustment system 4 is used to control the temperature of the cooling fluid supplied by the first cooling fluid supply unit and the second cooling fluid supply unit.

[0045] Specifically, both the first cooling fluid supply unit and the second cooling fluid supply unit are composed of a cooling fluid and a corresponding fluid pump. The fluid pump pumps the cooling fluid into the corresponding first cooling flow channel 311 or second cooling flow channel 321. The cooling and temperature adjustment system 4 independently controls the temperature of the cooling fluid in the first cooling flow channel 311 and the second cooling flow channel 321 respectively. That is, the grinding machine control system processes the corresponding temperature signals of the clearance surface 131 and the oil cavity 132 obtained in real time by the temperature sensors correspondingly arranged by the temperature monitoring component 21. After signal processing, the system performs information feedback. After the cooling and temperature adjustment system 4 obtains the corresponding feedback signal, it makes corresponding adjustments in time, that is, adjusts the actual temperature of the cooling fluid input into the first cooling flow channel 311 and the second cooling flow channel 321. By means of the temperature difference between the two groups of cooling fluids, the temperature difference of the working temperature rise between the clearance surface 131 and the oil cavity 132 is compensated. Furthermore, it can ensure that the working temperature rise at the corresponding position in the bearing bush 13 is more uniform, and the generated thermal deformation within the specified range is also relatively uniform in temperature. Furthermore, in the working state of the hydrostatic spindle system 1 with long time and large load, it can maintain stable rotation for a long time, reduce the working vibration of the spindle 12, and improve the machining accuracy of the grinding machine. In addition, when the vibration monitoring component 22 detects the sudden vibration of the spindle 12, after the grinding machine control system obtains this signal, it timely sends a feedback signal to the grinding machine and adjusts the processing parameters, and stops the machine in time when necessary to reduce losses.

[0046] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the cooling and temperature regulating system 4 is used to control the temperature change of the cooling fluid, and the change range is preferably between above zero and normal room temperature. Under the condition of ensuring effective heat dissipation of the hydrostatic spindle system 1, through reasonable adjustment, the cooling of the hydrostatic spindle system 1 is made more uniform.

[0047] Furthermore, regarding the cooling uniformity of each clearance surface 131 and oil cavity 132 area, multiple groups of second cooling channels 321 and first cooling channels 311 can be arranged in the areas corresponding to each clearance surface 131 and oil cavity 132 to improve the cooling effect. Among them, the groups of second cooling channels 321 in the areas corresponding to all clearance surfaces 131 can be controlled uniformly or independently in each area. Similarly, the groups of first cooling channels 311 in the areas corresponding to all oil cavities 132 can be controlled uniformly or independently in each area. Based on the above unified control scheme, referring to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the oil inlet throttle guiding groove 135 can be referred to. A first input guiding groove 3121, a first output guiding groove 3131, a second input guiding groove 3221 and a second output guiding groove 3231 are arranged on the outer wall of the bearing bush 13. Each guiding groove is used for unified guiding. Specifically, each first cooling channel 311 is respectively communicated with the first input guiding groove 3121 and the first output guiding groove 3131, and each second cooling channel 321 is respectively communicated with the second input guiding groove 3221 and the second output guiding groove 3231. A first input pipe 312, a first output pipe 313, a second input pipe 322 and a second output pipe 323 are arranged on the shaft housing 11. The first input guiding groove 3121 is communicated with the first input pipe 312, the first output guiding groove 3131 is communicated with the first output pipe 313, the second input guiding groove 3221 is communicated with the second input pipe 322, and the second output guiding groove 3231 is communicated with the second output pipe 323. Thus, the supply of the cooling fluid to the first cooling channels 311 and the second cooling channels 321 can be realized by means of a small number of the first input pipe 312 and the second input pipe 322. In the above scheme, only one group can be provided for both the first input pipe 312 and the second input pipe 322.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, during the actual machining process of the grinding machine, if the machining feed direction is single and a long-term single force needs to be maintained (for example, the circumferential side wall of the grinding device needs to be in contact with the workpiece for a long time and feed. At this time, the workpiece will form a reverse thrust on the grinding structure, and then the main shaft 12 will be subjected to a radial thrust in a fixed direction). Therefore, a radial force in a single direction will be formed on the main shaft 12. At this time, the pressure on the fixed area of the bearing bush 13 by the main shaft 12 will relatively increase, and the temperature rise during operation in this area will be relatively high. Therefore, uneven temperature rise in some areas will also be caused. At this time, it is not appropriate to uniformly control each group of first cooling channels 311 and second cooling channels 321. Therefore, at this time, each first cooling channel 311 is grouped according to the number of corresponding oil cavities 132. The first cooling channels 311 in each oil cavity 132 in each area are uniformly controlled as a group, while the first cooling channels 311 between the oil cavities 132 in each area are relatively independently controlled. Similarly, each second cooling channel 321 is grouped according to the number of corresponding clearance surfaces 131. The second cooling channels 321 in each clearance surface 131 in each area are uniformly controlled as a group, while the second cooling channels 321 between the clearance surfaces 131 in each area are relatively independently controlled. Furthermore, multiple independent control areas can be formed around the main shaft 12, and more precise adjustment can be made according to the monitoring feedback signal.

[0049] In addition, in the case of higher precision requirements and when cost permits, based on the above principle, each first cooling channel 311 and each second cooling channel 321 can also be individually controlled to further improve the control effect, but relatively speaking, the cost is higher.

[0050] The existing shapes in the oil cavity 132 mainly include a rectangular groove and an arc-shaped groove structure. Among them, the rectangular groove is a groove structure with a constant distance between the inner wall and the main shaft 12, while the distance between the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove and the main shaft 12 gradually decreases towards both sides. That is, the transition between the two side positions of the arc-shaped groove and the clearance surface 131 is relatively smooth, which can reduce the impact on the lubricating oil. However, since the thickness of the lubricating oil stored inside the oil cavity 132 will also change when the arc-shaped groove is used, specifically refer to the attached drawings of the specification. Figure 5, therefore, more precise control is also required for the first cooling channels 311 of the oil chambers 132 in each region. That is, the temperature monitoring components 21 corresponding to the temperature sensors in each oil chamber 132 are set to multiple, and the multiple temperature sensors are arranged along the circumferential direction of the bearing bush 13, so as to be able to detect and feedback the temperature distribution in the oil chamber 132 more precisely. At the same time, after obtaining a more precise monitoring signal, it is also necessary to improve the control accuracy of each first cooling channel 311 at the oil chamber 132. Among them, the simplest is as described above, and each first cooling channel 311 is independently controlled, but the cost is relatively high. Therefore, this embodiment also provides the following solution to adapt to the temperature difference problem in each oil chamber 132 interval. For example, referring to the attached Figure 5 , among the first cooling channels 311 corresponding to each oil chamber 132 region, from the center of the oil chamber 132 to both sides, the distance from each first cooling channel 311 to the inner wall of the oil chamber 132 gradually increases, so that the first cooling channels 311 in the central region are closer to the region with the largest lubricating oil thickness, and the heat dissipation effect is better. On the contrary, the heat dissipation effect of the first cooling channels 311 in the two side directions is relatively poor, so as to compensate for the problem of temperature adjustment difference caused by uneven lubricating oil thickness in the oil chamber 132.

[0051] The above solution is relatively simple, but has great limitations, that is, although the distance of the first cooling channel 311 changes, its position is fixed, and it is difficult to cope with sudden situations of parameter mutations. Therefore, this embodiment also provides the following technical solution. Specifically, referring to the attached Figure 14 , each first cooling channel 311 is a movable pipe 3101. Both ends of the movable pipe 3101 are connected to the first input pipe 312 and the first output pipe 313 through hoses. At the positions corresponding to each movable pipe 3101 in the bearing bush 13, a distance-adjusting movable cavity 137 is provided. The movable pipe 3101 is slidably installed in the distance-adjusting movable cavity 137. The distance-adjusting movable cavity 137 is filled with a heat-conducting liquid (such as mercury or water or other objects). A control structure for controlling the sliding of the movable pipe 3101 in the distance-adjusting movable cavity 137 to adjust the distance between the movable pipe 3101 and the inner wall of the oil chamber 132 is also provided on the hydrostatic spindle system 1. This control structure can directly select a driving structure such as a micro cylinder.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the temperature reduction and regulation system 4 can directly adopt the combination of heating and cooling equipment (such as the combination of an electric heater and a liquid nitrogen temperature reduction device, etc.) to pre-control the temperature of the temperature reduction fluid. Then, after obtaining the feedback signal, it is pumped to the corresponding area by the corresponding fluid pump. However, since the above temperature reduction fluid is transported to the hydrostatic spindle system 1 after the temperature is pre-controlled, the actual temperature of the temperature reduction fluid will be affected by the ambient temperature during the transportation process. Moreover, if temperature control devices are independently set for each group of the first temperature reduction channels 311 and the second temperature reduction channels 321, the cost will be higher. Therefore, this embodiment also provides another temperature reduction and regulation system 4. Specifically, refer to the attached Figures 10 to 13 , the temperature reduction and regulation system 4 is a distributor, which is fixedly installed on the shaft housing 11. Corresponding to the second temperature reduction channels 321 of each area clearance surface 131 and the first temperature reduction channels 311 of each area oil chamber 132 in the distributor, corresponding distribution chambers 43 are provided respectively. The second temperature reduction channels 321 of each area clearance surface 131 are respectively communicated with the corresponding distribution chambers 43 through the second input pipes 322, and the first temperature reduction channels 311 of each area oil chamber 132 are respectively communicated with the corresponding distribution chambers 43 through the first input pipes 312. A partition plate 45 is slidably arranged in the distribution chamber 43. The distribution chamber 43 is divided into a high-temperature channel 41 and a low-temperature channel 42 distributed up and down with the partition plate 45 as the boundary. The high-temperature channel 41 is connected to a high-temperature liquid source through a pipeline, and the low-temperature channel 42 is connected to a low-temperature liquid source through a pipeline. Among them, the temperature of the high-temperature liquid source is higher than that of the low-temperature liquid source, but the height of the high-temperature liquid source generally does not exceed room temperature. Each liquid source is pumped into the distribution chamber 43 through the corresponding pump. And distribution grooves 44 are arranged at the positions corresponding to the second input pipes 322 or the first input pipes 312 in the distribution chamber 43. The side wall of the partition plate 45 corresponds to the distribution grooves 44. A mobile driver 46 (such as a micro air pump) is installed outside the distribution chamber 43. The mobile driver 46 is used to drive the partition plate 45 to lift. Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 12 , the partition plate 45 adheres to the distribution groove 44 to form a demarcation point. By controlling the lifting of the partition plate 45, the ratio of the high-temperature fluid and the low-temperature fluid flowing into the distribution groove 44 and finally flowing into the second input pipe 322 can be controlled, and then the temperature of the liquid flowing in the second input pipe 322 can be controlled (a temperature sensor can be equipped on the pipeline for direct detection and feedback). Since the distributor of the temperature reduction and regulation system 4 can be directly arranged on the shaft housing 11, the transportation distance is short after the corresponding fluid temperature is regulated, and the influence of the outside world is small, thereby shortening the feedback time and improving the control accuracy.

[0053] In addition, based on the above solution, since the internal oil film thickness of each regional clearance surface 131 is uniform, therefore, the second cooling channels 321 of each regional clearance surface 131 form a group, and each group of second cooling channels 321 is connected to a distribution chamber 43 and is subjected to relative regional unified control. For the oil chamber 132, the above method can also be adopted. The first cooling channels 311 of the oil chambers 132 in each region form a group, and each group of first cooling channels 311 is connected to a distribution chamber 43. However, as mentioned in the previous text, the thickness of the lubricating oil in the oil chamber 132 itself varies. Therefore, in order to adapt to this variation and difference, the present embodiment also provides the following solution. Specifically, referring to the attached Figure 13 , there are also two sets of push blocks 47 provided in the distribution chamber 43 corresponding to the first cooling channels 311. The two sets of push blocks 47 are respectively located at both ends of the partition plate 45, and the partition plate 45 is bent by squeezing the partition plate 45. Among them, a pressure piston chamber 48 is also provided at the position corresponding to the push block 47 in the distribution chamber 43. The push block 47 is slidably arranged in the pressure piston chamber 48. The pressure piston chamber 48 is connected to an air inflation pump structure through a pipeline, so that the push block 47 forms a piston. By controlling the inflation air pressure, the extrusion effect of the push block 47 on the partition plate 45 can be controlled. Since the distribution grooves 44 corresponding to the first input pipes 312 in each group of first cooling channels 311 are arranged along the length direction of the partition plate 45, and when the partition plate 45 is bent, the distribution effect on each distribution groove 44 is also different, which can just adapt to the different lubricating oil thicknesses corresponding to each group of first cooling channels 311 in the oil chamber 132. Furthermore, a neutralization is achieved between the equipment cost and the technical effect, and more precise control of the first cooling channels 311 can be achieved while ensuring that the first cooling channels 311 can be controlled in groups.

[0054] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
