[0032] Certain terms used to describe the present application are discussed below or elsewhere in this specification to provide additional guidance to those skilled in the art regarding the description of the present application.
[0033] The embodiment of the present invention provides a waterproof spindle for a high-precision grinding machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0034] Spindle body 1;
[0035] The first paired bearing 2 is installed in the front section of the spindle body 1. The first paired bearing 2 is designed as a fixed end. The first paired bearing 2 and the hole are matched with JS3 grade precision tolerance, and the target clearance is 3~7um. When installing the first paired bearing 2, you can gently push it into the sleeve by hand;
[0036] The second paired bearing 3 is installed at the rear end of the spindle body 1 to improve the accuracy of the grinder. The second paired bearing 3 and the hole are matched with H3 grade precision tolerance, and the target clearance is 8~13um. When installing the second paired bearing 3, it can be easily pushed into the sleeve by hand;
[0037] An outer sleeve 4, wherein the outer sleeve 4 is sleeved on the circumferential outer surface of the spindle body 1;
[0038] The first end cover 5 passes through the front end of the main shaft body 1 and presses the outer sleeve 4 to form a fixed end.
[0039] The second end cover 6 passes through the rear cover from the rear end of the main shaft body 1 on the outer sleeve 4. A gap 7 is provided between the outer sleeve 4 and the second end cover 5 to form a floating end. When the second paired bearing expands and contracts due to heat during operation, the second paired bearing can slide freely in the axial direction to release the displacement of the shaft and ensure that the position of the front end remains fixed.
[0040] A first waterproof cover 8, wherein the first waterproof cover 8 covers the first end cover 5;
[0041] A second waterproof cover 9, wherein the second waterproof cover 9 covers the second end cover 6;
[0042] A first drain port 10, which is located at the front end of the main shaft body and is arranged on one side of the first waterproof cover;
[0043] The second drainage port 11 is located at the rear end of the main shaft body 1 and is arranged on one side of the second waterproof cover 9 .
[0044] Specifically, since the first waterproof cover 8 and the second waterproof cover 9 are provided, and the first drainage port 10 is located at the front end of the spindle body and is provided on one side of the first waterproof cover 8, and the second drainage port 11 is located at the rear end of the spindle body and is provided on one side of the second waterproof cover 9, a large amount of coolant will be flushed by the workpiece during the cutting process, which will first be blocked by the outer waterproof cover, that is, a small amount of water will penetrate from the gap of the shaft to the inner layer, and when it hits the high-speed rotating nut inside, the water will be thrown out immediately, and the drainage port is left below to allow the penetrated water to be discharged from the body, thereby extending the life of the waterproof spindle.
[0045] Specifically, the first end cover 5 is fixed to the outer sleeve 4 by a bolt fixing part, and the first waterproof cover is fixed to the first end cover by a bolt fixing part 12; the second end cover 6 is fixed to the outer sleeve by a bolt fixing part, and the second waterproof cover is fixed to the second end cover by a bolt fixing part, ensuring that the first end cover and the second end cover can be firmly fixed to the outer sleeve. The bearing is mainly lubricated by grease in the raceway. When the main shaft is flooded, water enters the bearing, and the lubrication function of the bearing is reduced, resulting in premature failure of the bearing.
[0046] Specifically, the first paired bearing 2 is installed in a TBT pairing manner using an angular contact bearing, and the second paired bearing 3 is installed in a BD pairing manner using an angular contact bearing. The fit between the bearing and the main shaft uses an H3 level precision tolerance, with a target interference amount of 2~3um. The bearing is installed using a hot-fitting method, the inner ring is heated, quickly installed on the shaft, and then the bearing is compacted using a press.
[0047] In addition, it should be noted that a first bearing spacer 13 is provided between the first paired bearings 2 to avoid collision or friction between the first paired bearings 2, and a second bearing spacer 14 is provided between the second paired bearings to avoid collision or friction between the second paired bearings 3.
[0048] In addition, it is worth mentioning that it also includes a first waterproof maze 15 and a second waterproof maze 16. The first waterproof maze is located between the first end cover 5 and the first waterproof cover 8, and the second waterproof maze 15 is located between the second end cover 6 and the second waterproof cover 9. The first waterproof maze 15 and the second waterproof maze 16 are designed to be a V-shaped maze structure. A large amount of coolant will be flushed into the workpiece during the cutting process. It will first be blocked by the outer waterproof cover, that is, a small amount of water will penetrate into the inner layer from the gap of the shaft. When it hits the high-speed rotating nut inside, the water will be thrown out immediately. A drainage port is left below to allow the penetrated water to be discharged from the body.
[0049] In addition, in order to further waterproof, a first sealing ring 17 and a second sealing ring 18 are also included. The first sealing ring is located between the first end cover and the outer sleeve, and the second sealing ring is located between the second end cover and the outer sleeve.
[0050] The above description is only an illustrative specific implementation of the present invention. Without departing from the concept and principle of the present invention, any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
