Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machining centers, in particular to a spindle cooling structure of a gantry machining center. Background Technique
[0002] A gantry machining center refers to a machining center with a spindle axis perpendicular to the workbench. Its overall structure is a gantry frame, composed of double columns and a top beam, and there is also a crossbeam in the middle. It is especially suitable for machining large workpieces and workpieces with complex shapes. During machining, the temperature of the center and the machined workpiece is very high, so cooling is carried out during machining.
[0003] For example, a spindle cooling system of a vertical machining center provided by the authorized patent No. CN215035901U includes a spindle box. A spindle main body is rotatably connected at the center of the spindle box, and two first clamping grooves are fixedly connected to the top inside the spindle box. In the utility model, high-temperature air near the spindle main body is pumped into the U-shaped tube by an air pump. When it is cooled in the coolant, the air is dispersed through a wire mesh cover to form more bubbles, increasing the cooling efficiency of the hot air. The staff changes the area of the connection between the first through hole and the second through hole by screwing the bolt. When the overlapping area of the first through hole and the second through hole is small, the wind force is large at this time, which is used to quickly cool the spindle main body. When the overlapping area of the first through hole and the second through hole is large, the wind force of the cooling air flow is softer, which is convenient for continuously cooling the spindle main body. This design structure is flexible, greatly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the spindle main body and extending the service life of the spindle main body to a certain extent.
