Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aerostatic spindles, in particular to an aerostatic spindle with a damping cavity on the rotating shaft flange. Background Technique

[0002] Most aerostatic thrust bearings will show self-excited vibration because a certain volume of the air cavity requires a certain time to fill and empty the gas. The change of the squeeze film is proportional to the speed of the thrust plate to form a damping force, and the bearing is in a stable state. When the volume effect of the air cavity is greater than the squeeze film effect, the damping decreases, and the bearing is unstable. When there is a deviation from the equilibrium state, only a very small disturbance is needed to excite the vibration with an increasing amplitude. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an aerostatic spindle with a damping cavity on the rotating shaft flange to solve the problems put forward in the above background technique.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: an aerostatic spindle with a damping cavity on the rotating shaft flange, including a rotating shaft housing, one end of the rotating shaft housing is provided with a thrust bearing, a plurality of throttle nozzles are opened on the thrust bearing, a closed air cavity is provided on the rotating shaft housing, an air inlet is provided on one side of the closed air cavity facing the thrust bearing, and a sealing plug screw is provided above the closed air cavity.

[0005] Preferably, the air inlets are equally divided in the circumferential direction on the rotating shaft housing.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the utility model is that: when the throttle nozzle and the air inlet correspond, the pressure in the closed air cavity is the largest, the gas inside the closed air cavity is slightly compressed, and when they are staggered, the gas in the closed air cavity is discharged to generate oscillation. The gas oscillation interferes with the air hammer excitation generated between the damping thrust bearing and the flange, achieving the reduction of the spindle vibration and the improvement of the high-frequency harmonic effect.

[0011] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0012] Please refer to 1-3, an embodiment provided by the utility model: an air-floating electric spindle with a shaft flange and a damping chamber, comprising a shaft housing 1, a thrust bearing 2 is provided at one end of the shaft housing 1, a plurality of throttling air nozzles 3 are provided on the thrust bearing 2, a closed air cavity 4 is provided on the shaft housing 1, an air inlet 6 is provided on the side of the closed air cavity 4 facing the thrust bearing 2, and a sealing top screw 5 is provided above the closed air cavity 4. When the thrust bearing 2 rotates, it drives the throttling air nozzle 3 to rotate. When the throttling air nozzle 3 corresponds to the air inlet 6, outside air will enter the closed air cavity 4, and an independent damping air chamber is completed. Damping force is generated when the air flows in and out, thereby eliminating the unstable state of the air-floating thrust bearing.

[0013] The air inlets 6 are equally divided on the circumference of the rotating shaft housing 1 and can correspond to the air inlets 6 regularly to achieve reciprocating air intake and exhaust.

[0014] Working principle: When the thrust bearing 2 rotates, the throttle nozzle 3 located on the thrust bearing 2 will regularly correspond to the air inlet 6. The pressure in the closed air cavity 4 is maximum at the moment when the throttle nozzle 3 and the air inlet 6 correspond to each other, and the gas inside the closed air cavity 4 is slightly compressed. When the throttle nozzle 3 and the air inlet 6 are staggered, the gas in the closed air cavity 4 is discharged to generate vibration, thereby eliminating the unstable state of the air-floating thrust bearing.
