Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electric spindle technology, specifically relating to an electric spindle and a machine tool. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of high-speed electric spindles, their rotational speeds are constantly increasing, placing higher demands on the lubrication, cooling, and thermal management of their bearings. Especially in ultra-high-speed oil-pneumatic electric spindles, traditional oil-pneumatic systems typically use independent oil injectors or simple internal oil circuits, which have some inherent defects, such as poor oil return. At ultra-high speeds of tens of thousands of revolutions per minute, the centrifugal force is enormous, and traditional oil return methods are unable to effectively overcome this centrifugal force, causing old oil and oil mist to accumulate in the bearing cavity. This not only fails to remove the heat generated during bearing operation in time, but also generates heat due to the accumulation and stirring of old oil and oil mist in the bearing cavity, causing the spindle bearing temperature to rise, seriously affecting the life and accuracy of the spindle bearing.

[0032] In this application, unless otherwise explicitly defined, the terms "setup," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral molding; they can refer to mechanical connection, electrical connection, or connection capable of mutual communication; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 5 This application provides an electric spindle, including a body assembly 1, a spindle core 2, and an oil injection structure. The body assembly 1 has an oil inlet channel and an oil return channel 3. The spindle core 2 is supported on the body assembly 1 by a bearing assembly, which includes a first bearing 41 and a second bearing 42 spaced apart in a vertical direction. A spacer sleeve is provided between the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 and fitted onto the spindle core 2, allowing the spacer sleeve to rotate with the spindle core 2.

[0034] The sleeve is provided with a guide channel 51 and a return channel 52 connected to the return oil channel 3. The top of the guide channel 51 is connected to the internal raceway of the first bearing 41, and the bottom of the guide channel 51 is connected to the internal raceway of the second bearing 42. The guide channel 51 has an oil-throwing slope to guide the waste oil in the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 to the return channel 52, thereby allowing the waste oil in the guide channel 51 to flow through the return channel 52 to the return oil channel 3, and then be discharged from the electric spindle.

[0035] The spacer sleeve can be manufactured as a single piece or assembled from two parts. The spacer sleeve includes an inner ring spacer sleeve 531 and an outer ring spacer sleeve 532. The inner ring spacer sleeve 531 is fitted around the outer circumference of the shaft core 2, and the outer ring spacer sleeve 532 is located around the outer circumference of the inner ring spacer sleeve 531, forming a guide channel 51 between them. The outer ring spacer sleeve 532 has a return channel 52 and an inner waste oil receiving groove 56 communicating with the return channel 52. The outer side of the inner ring spacer sleeve 531 has an oil-throwing slope to guide waste oil from the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 to the waste oil receiving groove 56.

[0036] The guide channel 51 guides the waste oil in the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 to the waste oil receiving tank 56 under the action of centrifugal force through the oil-throwing inclined surface. With the cooperation of the oil-throwing inclined surface and the waste oil receiving tank 56, the waste oil receiving tank 56 receives the waste oil thrown off by the centrifugal force of the oil-throwing inclined surface, which facilitates the collection of waste oil and makes more efficient use of the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the electric spindle to realize the recycling of old oil and excess oil, while improving the reliability of waste oil return.

[0037] One end of the oil injection structure is connected to the oil inlet channel, and the other end of the oil injection structure is connected to the internal raceway of the first bearing 41 or the second bearing 42 to lubricate the internal raceway of the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42.

[0038] This technical solution utilizes a guide channel 51 on the electric spindle. When the inner ring spacer 531 rotates with the spindle core 2, the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the electric spindle forces the oil-throwing slope on the guide channel 51 to create forced backflow. This guides the waste oil in the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 to the backflow channel 52, achieving automated oil return and more efficient recovery of old and excess oil. The electric spindle's oil return system has been upgraded from passive flow to forced centrifugation, cleverly transforming the disadvantage of high-speed rotational centrifugal force into the core power for efficient oil return. This prevents old and excess oil from affecting bearing lubrication and cooling, ensuring the accuracy and service life of the spindle bearings. Simultaneously, by adjusting the structure of the oil-throwing slope, the oil volume can be controlled, solving the problem of "oil bath heating" caused by poor oil return at ultra-high speeds.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the outer side of the inner ring spacer 531 is provided with a guide protrusion 5311. The guide protrusion 5311 has an inclined surface on the upper and / or lower side to form an oil-throwing slope, which facilitates the guidance and throwing of old oil and excess oil in the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 into the waste oil receiving tank 56 by centrifugal force. It is understood that the bottom surface of the waste oil receiving tank 56 is an inclined surface or a plane, etc., and can be set according to the actual situation, without limitation here.

[0040] Furthermore, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The oil injection structure includes an oil nozzle 5321 located at the top or bottom of the outer ring spacer 532. The oil nozzle 5321 extends into the internal raceway of the first bearing 41 and / or the second bearing 42 and communicates with the oil inlet channel. The outer ring spacer 532 can directly spray oil and gas into the contact area of ​​the raceway in the first bearing 41 and / or the second bearing 42 that requires lubrication and cooling through the oil nozzle 5321, thereby achieving lubrication and cooling. By using a single spacer component, the three major functions of bearing isolation, oil injection, and waste oil return and guidance can be integrated, which is conducive to the compactness and miniaturization of the overall structure, effectively saving internal space of the spindle and ensuring that the high-speed rotation performance of the electric spindle is not affected.

[0041] Furthermore, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The oil injection structure also includes an oil injection sleeve. The oil inlet channel includes a first oil inlet channel and a second oil inlet channel. The first oil inlet channel communicates with the oil injector 5321. The oil injector 5321 extends into the internal raceway of either the first bearing 41 or the second bearing 42. The oil injection sleeve is located on the outer periphery of the shaft core 2, above the first bearing 41 or below the second bearing 42. The oil injection sleeve has an oil injection channel communicating with the second oil inlet channel, which in turn communicates with the other internal raceway of either the first bearing 41 or the second bearing 42. By combining the oil injection sleeve and the spacer, the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 in the same bearing assembly can be simultaneously lubricated and cooled.

[0042] See Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the spacer includes an upper spacer 54 and a lower spacer 55, and the bearing assembly includes an upper bearing assembly 43 and a lower bearing assembly 44 spaced vertically. Both the upper bearing assembly 43 and the lower bearing assembly 44 include a first bearing 41 and a second bearing 42. An upper spacer 54 is installed between the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 of the upper bearing assembly 43, and a lower spacer 55 is installed between the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 of the lower bearing assembly 44. Both the upper spacer 54 and the lower spacer 55 include an inner ring spacer 531 and an outer ring spacer 532. By providing multiple bearing assemblies and spacers within the electric spindle, the stability of the electric spindle, as well as the efficient and controllable lubrication, cooling, and oil return of each bearing assembly, are effectively ensured.

[0043] Further, see Figure 1 The first oil inlet channel includes a first upper oil inlet channel 61. The outer ring spacer 532 of the upper spacer 54 is provided with an oil nozzle 5321 at the top that communicates with the first upper oil inlet channel 61. The oil nozzle 5321 extends into the inner raceway of the first bearing 41 of the upper bearing assembly 43. The outer ring spacer 532 of the upper spacer 54 is provided with a waste oil receiving groove 56 at the bottom.

[0044] The second oil inlet channel includes a second upper oil inlet channel 62, and the oil spray sleeve includes an upper oil spray sleeve 71. The upper oil spray sleeve 71 is installed on the machine body assembly 1 and located below the upper bearing assembly 43. The upper oil spray sleeve 71 extends upward into the internal raceway of the second bearing 42 of the upper bearing assembly 43, and the upper oil spray sleeve 71 is provided with an oil spray channel communicating with the second upper oil inlet channel 62. Through the combined arrangement of the outer ring spacer 532 of the upper spacer 54 and the upper oil spray sleeve 71, lubrication and cooling of the ball contact area inside the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 of the upper bearing assembly 43 can be achieved.

[0045] Further, see Figure 2 The first oil inlet channel also includes a first lower oil inlet channel 63 that is separated from the first upper oil inlet channel 61. The outer ring spacer 532 of the lower spacer 55 is provided with an oil nozzle 5321 at the bottom that communicates with the first lower oil inlet channel 63. The oil nozzle 5321 extends into the inner raceway of the second bearing 42 of the lower bearing assembly 44. The outer ring spacer 532 of the lower spacer 55 is provided with a waste oil receiving groove 56 at the top.

[0046] The second oil inlet channel also includes a second lower oil inlet channel 64, which is separated from the second upper oil inlet channel 62. The oil spray sleeve also includes a lower oil spray sleeve 72 located below the upper oil spray sleeve 71. The lower oil spray sleeve 72 is installed on the machine body assembly 1 and is located above the lower bearing assembly 44. The lower oil spray sleeve 72 extends downward into the internal raceway of the first bearing 41 of the lower bearing assembly 44. The lower oil spray sleeve 72 is provided with an oil spray channel communicating with the second lower oil inlet channel 64. Through the combined arrangement of the outer ring spacer 532 of the lower spacer 55 and the lower oil spray sleeve 72, lubrication and cooling of the ball contact area inside the first bearing 41 and the second bearing 42 of the lower bearing assembly 44 can be achieved.

[0047] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the upper oil spray sleeve 71 is installed between the shaft core 2 and the machine body assembly 1. The top outer side of the upper oil spray sleeve 71 is provided with a first guide slope 711, and a guide groove 712 is formed between the first guide slope 711 and the machine body assembly 1. The guide groove 712 is connected to the oil return channel 3. The first guide slope 711 is used to guide the old oil and excess oil in the upper bearing assembly 43 to the guide groove 712, and then the old oil and excess oil are recovered through the oil return channel 3, effectively ensuring that the old oil in the upper bearing assembly 43 can be recovered more thoroughly.

[0048] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the shaft core 2 is provided with a locking member 81 and a bearing seat cover 82 below the lower bearing assembly 44. The bearing seat cover 82 abuts against the lower part of the body assembly 1 and is provided with an oil collection groove 83 communicating with the return channel 52. The locking member 81 is provided with a second guide slope 811. The second guide slope 811 is used to guide the old oil and excess oil in the lower bearing assembly 44 to the oil collection groove 83, so that the old oil and excess oil can be recycled through the return channel 3, effectively ensuring that the old oil in the lower bearing assembly 44 can be recycled more thoroughly.
