AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, the electric spindle of the horizontal machining center is difficult to effectively cool during high-speed operation, resulting in deformation of the motor and affecting service life. At the same time, the cooling method causes the spindle to weaken rigidity.
A body structure with mixed water cooling for spindles is adopted, including the front bearing chamber, the housing, the circulating straight water channel and the spiral water channel. The cooling water circulates and flows through these structures to achieve a dual cooling method.
Through the double cooling method, the problem of weakening spindle rigidity caused by insufficient shell wall thickness is solved, and the bearings and motors are fully cooled, extending service life.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spindle cooling, in particular to a mixed water-cooled body structure for a spindle. Background Art
[0002] The spindle mechanism is the core component of the machining center. During the operation of the machining center, the spindle needs to be cooled to ensure safe and reliable operation of the machining center. Insufficient cooling often reduces the life of the spindle. The horizontal machining center is generally slender in shape, with high power and heat generation. During the high-speed operation of the electric spindle, the heat inside the motor housing is difficult to effectively dissipate in a limited space, which can easily cause the electric spindle to deform and affect the service life of the motor. In the prior art, cooling holes are usually machined on the motor housing for cooling, which will cause the housing wall thickness to be insufficient and the spindle rigidity to be weakened.
