[0027] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the connector 3 includes a first connector and a second connector, the connecting channel 4 includes a first connecting channel and a second connecting channel, the nozzle 5 includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle, the first connector is connected to the first nozzle through the first connecting channel, the second connector is connected to the second nozzle through the second connecting channel, and the first nozzle and the second nozzle spray different media. In practical applications, the first connector and the second connector can be connected to the air storage mechanism or the lubricating liquid storage mechanism or the cooling liquid storage mechanism through a hose, so that the first nozzle and the second nozzle spray different media, so as to meet the needs of chip removal, lubrication or cooling at the same time, and improve processing efficiency.

[0028] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, two or more first nozzles are arranged side by side in a front-to-back manner, and the ends of the first nozzles are arranged obliquely toward the tool spindle 2; two or more second nozzles are arranged side by side in a front-to-back manner, and the ends of the second nozzles are arranged obliquely toward the tool spindle 2. The accompanying drawings show three first nozzles and second nozzles arranged side by side in a front-to-back manner, and the number of the first nozzles and the second nozzles can be limited to meet production requirements.

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the first connector, the first nozzle, the second connector, and the second nozzle are symmetrically arranged along the vertical direction of the tool spindle. The above components are arranged to be bilaterally symmetrical, so that the first nozzle and the second nozzle are located on one side respectively, which can better classify and avoid the clutter caused by multiple hoses, and is also conducive to the processing of the first connecting channel and the second connecting channel.

[0032] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a mounting seat 14 is provided on the back of the side plate 11 at the rear, and a nut seat 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 14. The nut seat 15 is used to be threadedly connected with a lead screw, and the lead screw passes through the upper and lower sides of the nut seat 15. In practical applications, the output end of the drive motor 101 is vertically downwardly arranged and connected to the upper end of the lead screw. The drive motor 101 is arranged on the saddle 10. Therefore, when the drive motor 101 rotates, it drives the lead screw to rotate, and under the action of the nut seat 15, the spindle box 1, the tool spindle 2, and the tool are raised or lowered.

[0033] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, Z-axis guide rails 16 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the nut seat 15, and the Z-axis guide rails 16 are used to be slidably connected with the Z-axis slider 102.
