Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of machine tools, in particular to a spindle system of a machine tool. BACKGROUND
[0002] The vertical machine tool mainly refers to the tool spindle or the grinding wheel spindle of the machine tool arranged in the vertical direction. The vertical layout of the spindle has the advantage that the spindle is less affected by gravity in the radial direction.
[0003] For example, the vibration of the grinding wheel is mainly related to the unbalance of the rotating part of the spindle, mainly in the radial direction, and the unbalance calculation formula U = m x r, where m is the unbalance mass and r is the gravity center radius of the unbalance mass. The force generated by the unbalance acts together with the gravity of the spindle, which is easy to cause resonance of the spindle, so the vertical machine tool has a unique advantage in reducing vibration of the machine tool.
[0004] However, for machine tools with more functional accessories, such as a gear machining machine tool with application number 2021220034970, the spindle has a spindle drive unit and an auxiliary functional unit installed on the outer periphery of the spindle. These units are arranged in an additional form on the outer periphery of the spindle and are separated from the spindle by a partition plate. The layout of the spindle system is difficult to install and maintain, and the weight of the spindle system is not reasonably distributed, which affects the lifting accuracy and horizontal accuracy of the spindle, and increases the unbalance of the rotating part of the spindle, thereby affecting the dynamic performance of the grinding wheel or tool movement, making it difficult for the machine tool to meet the use requirements of high machining precision and machining efficiency.

[0065] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the vertical spindle integrated device 40 mainly consists of a lifting carrier 41, a spindle assembly 42, a spindle driving unit 43 and an auxiliary function unit 44, wherein the lifting carrier 41 has a horizontally extended platform 411, a back expansion plate 412 and first and second side plates 413 and 414 located on both sides.
[0066] The horizontally extended platform 411 and the back expansion plate 412 are generally rectangular, and both are "L" shaped in the longitudinal section; the back surface of the back expansion plate 412 is provided with a lead screw nut and Z-axis sliders located on both sides of the lead screw nut (not shown due to obstruction), which are in sliding fit with the first and second Z-axis guide rails 71 and 72 on the column 30, and the Z-axis driving motor 73 drives the lifting carrier 41 to move up and down through the cooperation of the Z-axis lead screw 74 and the lead screw nut.

[0068] The lateral projection of the first side plate 413 and the second side plate 414 is generally a right triangle, and the width gradually increases from top to bottom, so as to reduce the gravity center and the overall weight of the lifting bearing seat 41. The first side plate 413 and the second side plate 414 are both provided with a weight-reducing hole, and the shape of the weight-reducing hole can be set according to actual conditions, for example, it can be set as a triangular shape, a rectangular shape, etc.
[0069] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 the horizontal extension platform 411, the back expansion plate 412, the first side plate 413 and the second side plate 414 jointly constitute an upper containing space. The lower surface of the horizontal extension platform 411 is provided with a downward overhanging main shaft mounting portion 415 at the center position, the main shaft assembly 42 is installed on the main shaft mounting portion 415, and the power input end of the main shaft assembly 42 extends into the upper containing space from the main shaft mounting portion 415. The main shaft driving unit 43 is located in the upper containing space and is arranged beside the power input end and is in transmission connection with the power input end through a transmission mechanism. The auxiliary function unit 44 is located in the upper containing space and is partially beside the power input end. The auxiliary function unit 44 has a component connected through the horizontal extension platform 411 and a part located outside the upper containing space. The horizontal extension platform 411 is provided with a hole position corresponding to the component passing through the horizontal extension platform 411.
[0070] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 the main shaft assembly 42 has an eccentric main shaft, the main shaft driving unit 43 is provided with a main shaft motor 431 and an eccentric main shaft motor 432, the main shaft motor 431 is vertically fixed on the horizontal extension platform 411 through a mounting seat, the power output end of the main shaft motor 431 faces the horizontal extension platform 411 and is in transmission connection with the rotary power input end 421 of the main shaft assembly 42 through a main shaft transmission belt mechanism 416, so as to drive the main shaft to work in rotation.
[0071] The position of the eccentric power input end 422 of the eccentric main shaft is higher than the horizontal extension platform 411 and lower than the rotary power input end 421. The eccentric main shaft motor 432 is vertically fixed on the horizontal extension platform 411 through a mounting seat, the power output end of the eccentric main shaft motor 432 faces the horizontal extension platform 411 and is in transmission connection with the eccentric power input end 422 of the eccentric main shaft through an eccentric main shaft transmission belt mechanism 417, so as to drive the eccentric main shaft to work in rotation.
[0072] The main shaft transmission belt mechanism 416 has a main shaft belt pulley 4161 arranged at the main shaft assembly rotating power input end 421, and the eccentric main shaft transmission belt mechanism 417 has an eccentric main shaft belt pulley 4171 arranged at the main shaft assembly eccentric power input end 422.

The diameter of the eccentric main shaft belt pulley 4171 is greater than that of the main shaft belt pulley 4161, and the width of the main shaft transmission belt 4161 is greater than that of the eccentric main shaft belt pulley 4171.
[0073] The number and type of auxiliary function units 44 can be increased or decreased according to different requirements of the machine tool. In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the number of auxiliary function units 44 is two, which are a cooling nozzle follow-up unit 441 and an online measurement unit 442. The cooling nozzle follow-up unit 441 and the online measurement unit 442 are located in the part inside the upper containing space and are installed at a position deviated from the axis of the main shaft assembly 42. Figure 2 Figure 3 The number of auxiliary function units 44 can be increased or decreased according to different requirements of the machine tool. In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the number of auxiliary function units 44 is two, which are a cooling nozzle follow-up unit 441 and an online measurement unit 442. The cooling nozzle follow-up unit 441 and the online measurement unit 442 are located in the part inside the upper containing space and are installed at a position deviated from the axis of the main shaft assembly 42.
[0074] The cooling nozzle follow-up unit 441 is provided with a cooling nozzle follow-up motor 4411 and a cooling nozzle 4412. The cooling nozzle 4412 is located below the horizontal extension platform 411. The cooling nozzle follow-up motor 4411 is vertically fixed to the inner side of the second side plate 414 through a lateral mounting plate. The power output end of the cooling nozzle follow-up motor 4411 has a certain spacing with the horizontal extension platform 411. The cooling nozzle follow-up motor 4411 is in transmission connection with the lifting rod 4414 of the cooling nozzle 4412 through a screw rod transmission mechanism 4413, so as to adjust the up-down position of the cooling nozzle 4412 according to the axial size of the grinding wheel or the tool.
[0075] The inner side of the second side plate 414 is fixed with a cooling lifting slide rail 4415. The nut part of the screw rod transmission mechanism 4413 is in up-down sliding cooperation with the cooling lifting slide rail 4415. The lifting rod 4414 is fixed to one side of the nut part. The horizontal extension platform 411 is provided with a first hole position 418 through which the lifting rod 4414 passes. The lifting rod 4414 can move up and down along the first hole position 418. The inside of the lifting rod 4414 can be designed with a corresponding cooling liquid flow path, so as to supply cooling liquid to the cooling nozzle 4412.
[0076] Taking the grinding wheel as an example, during work, with the use and dressing of the grinding wheel, the size in the axial direction becomes smaller. In order to avoid interference between the cooling nozzle 4412 and the workpiece being processed, and to achieve better cooling effect, the cooling nozzle follow-up motor 4411 drives the cooling nozzle 4412 to make corresponding adjustment upwards according to the axial size of the grinding wheel through the screw rod transmission mechanism 4413.
[0077] The online measurement unit 442 is provided with an online measurement driving cylinder 4421 and a detection mechanism. The online measurement driving cylinder 4421 is a vertically arranged air cylinder, the piston rod of which faces upward and is fixed to the back expansion plate 412, and the piston cylinder can move up and down relative to the piston rod. The detection mechanism is installed at the lower end of the piston cylinder. The online measurement driving cylinder 4421 can drive the detection mechanism to extend out so as to complete the online measurement of the workpiece, and can drive the detection mechanism to retract after the measurement is completed. The horizontal extension platform 411 is provided with a second hole position 419 through which the online measurement driving cylinder 4421 extends and retracts.
[0078] In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the lifting carrier 41 is divided into a left side region and a right side region with the spindle mounting portion 415 as the weight symmetry center, and the weights of the left side region and the right side region are balanced. Figure 2 Figure 3 For example, if the weight of the spindle driving unit 43 is basically consistent with the weight of the auxiliary function unit 44, the spindle driving unit 43 can be arranged in the left side region and the auxiliary function unit 44 can be arranged in the right side region, or the spindle driving unit 43 can be arranged in the right side region and the auxiliary function unit 44 can be arranged in the left side region.
[0079] For example, if the spindle driving unit 43 is arranged in the left side region and the auxiliary function unit 44 is arranged in the right side region, in order to further balance the weight of the lifting carrier 41 at each position and further improve the stability of the lifting carrier 41, the spindle motor 431 and the eccentric spindle motor 432 can be arranged in the Y-axis direction with a certain interval. Similarly, the cooling nozzle servo unit 441 and the online measurement unit 442 can be arranged in the Y-axis direction with a certain interval.
[0080] Specifically, in the X-axis direction, the lifting carrier 41 is divided into an inner side region and an outer side region with the spindle mounting portion 415 as the weight symmetry center. When the weight of the spindle motor 431 is greater than the weight of the eccentric spindle motor 432, and the weight of the cooling nozzle servo unit 441 is greater than the weight of the online measurement unit 442, if the spindle motor 431 is arranged in the inner side region and the eccentric spindle motor 432 is arranged in the outer side region, the online measurement unit 442 is arranged in the inner side region and the cooling nozzle servo unit 441 is arranged in the outer side region, so as to balance the weight of the inner side region and the outer side region of the lifting carrier 41.
[0081] It should be noted that in a specific actual product, the weight balance of each position of the lifting bearing seat 41 is given priority as the first priority to optimize the arrangement of the main shaft driving unit 43 and the sub-units of the auxiliary function unit 44. For example, in another embodiment of the present application, when the weight of the main shaft driving unit 43 is substantially the same as that of the auxiliary function unit 44, the main shaft driving unit 43 is arranged in the inner side area, and the auxiliary function unit 44 is arranged in the outer side area, or the main shaft driving unit 43 is arranged in the outer side area, and the auxiliary function unit 44 is arranged in the inner side area.
[0082] Further, when the weight of the main shaft motor 431 is greater than that of the eccentric main shaft motor 432, and the weight of the cooling nozzle follower unit 441 is greater than that of the online measurement unit 442, if the main shaft motor 431 is installed in the left side area and the eccentric main shaft motor 432 is installed in the right side area, then the online measurement unit 442 is installed in the left side area and the cooling nozzle follower unit 441 is installed in the right side area, and vice versa, to achieve weight balance of the left side area and the right side area of the lifting bearing seat 41.
[0083] It can be understood that in other embodiments, if the volume and weight of the main shaft motor 431 are large, the layout mode of the main shaft motor 431 being arranged alone in the left side area inside the lifting bearing seat 41, and the eccentric main shaft motor 432 and the auxiliary function unit 44 being located in the right side area, or the main shaft motor 431 being located in the right side area inside the lifting bearing seat 41, and the eccentric main shaft motor 432 and the auxiliary function unit 44 being located in the left side area can be adopted.
[0084] In summary, the main shaft motor 431 and the eccentric main shaft motor 432 of the present embodiment are both installed outside the main shaft assembly 42. According to conventional cognition, the coaxial arrangement of the main shaft motor 431 and the main shaft assembly 42 will be more compact and save more space, but in the embodiments of the present application, the staggered layout mode can save more space than the coaxial arrangement. Referring to FIG. 8, if the main shaft motor 431 is coaxially arranged with the main shaft assembly 42, the installation space of the eccentric main shaft motor 432 and the auxiliary function unit 44 will be inevitably squeezed, and finally the width of the lifting bearing seat 41 is L6; on the contrary, when the main shaft motor 431 is arranged in a staggered manner with the main shaft assembly 42, the width of the lifting bearing seat 41 can be made smaller, L5, and the difference ΔL=L6-L5. Figure 6
[0085] In addition, the main shaft motor 431 is arranged in a staggered manner with the main shaft assembly 42, compared with the coaxial arrangement of the main shaft motor 431 and the main shaft assembly 42, the staggered arrangement can reduce the performance requirements of the main shaft motor 431 and the eccentric main shaft motor 432, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost; moreover, each component can be arranged more flexibly, so that the weight carried by the left and right side regions and the inner and outer side regions of the lifting bearing seat 41 is balanced as much as possible, thereby improving the stability of the lifting bearing seat 41 moving up and down, and while maintaining the weight balance, the structure layout is more compact, thereby controlling the width of the lifting bearing seat 41 within a reasonable range, avoiding the problem of the lifting bearing seat 41 being too wide and large due to the simultaneous arrangement of the main shaft driving unit 43 and the auxiliary function unit 44 inside the lifting bearing seat 41.
[0086] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the inner surface of the back expansion plate 412 is provided with longitudinal and transverse intersecting secondary rib plates 4121 and a longitudinal main rib plate 4123, the height of the main rib plate 4123 is greater than that of the secondary rib plate 4121, and the main rib plate 4123 is deviated from the center position of the back expansion plate 412 relative to the main shaft motor 431, for example, as shown in 2, Figure 3 , the main rib plate 4123 is arranged in the right side region. The main rib plate 4123 and the second side plate 414 form a longitudinal channel, which can be used to install the online measurement driving cylinder 4421 of the online measurement unit 442; the secondary rib plate 4121 is arranged between the main rib plate 4123 and the first side plate 413.
[0087] Compared with the arrangement of the main rib plate 4123 at the center position, the deviated main rib plate 4123 can make full use of the internal space of the lifting bearing seat 41, so that it does not interfere with the main shaft mounting portion 415; the main rib plate 4123 cooperates with the secondary rib plate 4121 to ensure the rigidity and structural strength of the lifting bearing seat 41, thereby improving the dynamic performance of the grinding wheel or tool movement; the height of the main rib plate 4123 is greater than that of the secondary rib plate 4121, which is convenient for the installation of the online measurement unit 442, and can also avoid the extrusion of the secondary rib plate 4121 with the upper accommodation space, affecting the compactness and stability of the vertical spindle integrated device 40.
[0088] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the axial cross-sectional view of the vertical spindle integrated device is shown in Figure 4 , Figure 2 . Figure 5 Figure 2 The vertical spindle integrated device is shown in a planar cross-sectional view. The spindle mounting portion 415 is in the shape of an inverted hollow frustum, with the outer diameter of the upper end being larger than that of the lower end. The spindle mounting portion 415 has a cavity that accommodates the main body portion 423 of the spindle assembly 42. The main body portion 423 of the spindle assembly 42 is provided with an annular flange 424 at a position close to the lower end. The spindle assembly 42 is loaded into the spindle mounting portion 415 from the bottom, and the annular flange 424 abuts against the lower end surface of the spindle mounting portion 415. For the convenience of installation, the main body portion 423 of the spindle assembly 42 is provided with a tapered mounting guide surface A at the upper end.
[0089] The axial projection area of the horizontally extended platform 411 is larger than that of the spindle mounting portion 415. The axial projection of the spindle mounting portion 415 is located inside the axial projection of the horizontally extended platform 411. The horizontally extended platform 411 has a portion that is further extended outward in the X and Y directions under the condition that the spindle mounting portion 415 is arranged, so as to obtain a larger area.
[0090] The main body portion 423 of the spindle assembly 42 has a reduced diameter section 425 with a diameter smaller than that of the two ends. The outer peripheral surface of the reduced diameter section 425 is provided with a helical protrusion 426. The helical protrusion 426 and the inner wall of the cavity form a helical liquid cooling groove 427. One end of the helical liquid cooling groove 427 is in communication with the liquid inlet port, and the other end is in communication with the liquid outlet port. When the cooling liquid enters the helical liquid cooling groove 427 from the liquid inlet port, it can flow along the helical flow channel defined by the helical liquid cooling groove 427, and complete heat exchange with the spindle assembly 42 in the process of flowing, and then flow out from the liquid outlet port, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling the spindle assembly 42.
[0091] In order to ensure the sealing performance, two first sealing rings 428 are arranged between the main body portion 423 of the spindle assembly 42 and the inner wall of the upper end of the cavity. The second sealing ring 428 is arranged in the sealing groove of the inner wall of the cavity. One second sealing ring 429 is arranged between the main body portion 423 of the spindle assembly 42 and the inner wall of the lower end of the cavity. The second sealing ring 429 is arranged in the sealing groove of the outer wall of the spindle assembly 42.
[0092] In the embodiment, the horizontally extended platform 411, the back expansion plate 412, the first side plate 413, the second side plate 414 and the spindle mounting portion 415 are connected as an integrated structure, for example, an integrally formed casting. The spindle mounting portion 415 is integrally formed with the lifting bearing seat 41, which can improve the manufacturing efficiency, reduce the manufacturing cost, and improve the stability of the spindle mounting portion 415, and further improve the stability of the spindle assembly 42.
[0093] Further, with reference to Figure 5As shown, the rear side of the horizontally extended platform 411 is provided with a thickened part B, and the distance L1 between the lower surface of the front side of the horizontally extended platform 411 and the lower end surface of the main shaft mounting part 415 is greater than the distance L2 between the lower surface of the thickened part B and the lower end surface of the main shaft mounting part 415. The thickened part B can change the overall gravity center of the lifting carrier 41, so that the gravity center of the lifting carrier 41 is lower and closer to the column 30, thereby improving the stability of the lifting of the lifting carrier 41, and further improving the stability of the main shaft assembly 42.
[0094] In the embodiment, to further improve the structural strength of the lifting carrier 41, the front side of the main shaft mounting part 415 is transitioned to the lower surface of the front side of the horizontally extended platform 411 through a first step C, and the rear side of the main shaft mounting part 415 is transitioned to the lower surface of the thickened part B through a second step D, and the distance L3 between the first step C and the lower end surface of the main shaft mounting part 415 is greater than the distance L4 between the second step D and the lower end surface of the main shaft mounting part 415.
[0095] The above embodiment is only a preferred solution of the present application, and is not limited thereto. Based on the above, targeted adjustments can be made according to actual needs to obtain different embodiments. For example, in addition to driving the main shaft assembly 42 by using a belt mechanism, other driving modes can also be used, or the cooling nozzle follower unit 441 is manually adjusted, or the online measurement unit 442 is driven by using an oil cylinder or other telescopic or rotating components, etc. Since there are many possible modes, they will not be illustrated one by one here.
[0096] The main shaft system provided by the present application can leave space for installing the main shaft driving unit 43 and other important auxiliary functional units 44 in the interior of the lifting carrier 41, so that the main shaft driving unit 43 and the auxiliary functional unit 44 do not need to be installed outside, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the main shaft driving unit 43 and the auxiliary functional unit 44. By reasonably arranging the positions of the main shaft driving unit 43 and the auxiliary functional unit 44 on the lifting carrier 41, the weight balance at each position of the lifting carrier 41 is ensured, which can improve the dynamic performance of the movement of the grinding wheel or the cutter, thereby improving the machining precision and the machining efficiency.
