Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of spindle lubrication, in particular to a lubrication structure for a high-speed machine tool spindle. Background Art
[0002] The high-speed spindle component is one of the most critical components of high-speed machine tools. At the same time, the design of the high-speed spindle unit is one of the key technologies to achieve high-speed machining. The types of high-speed spindle units mainly include electric spindles, pneumatic spindles, hydraulic spindles, etc. The output power of different types of spindles varies greatly. The high-speed spindle must complete speed increase and decrease in a very short time and stop quickly and accurately at the specified position, which places high demands on lubrication.
[0003] The utility model with publication number CN216633648U discloses a self-lubricating device for a machine tool spindle, including a spindle, a lubrication structure and an adjustment structure. The spindle is provided with an inner ring, and balls are distributed on the outer side of the inner ring. An outer ring is provided on the outer side of the inner ring. The balls are embedded between the inner ring and the outer ring, and are rollingly connected with the inner ring and the outer ring. The lubrication structure is located in the inner ring and is used to oil the balls. The adjustment structure is located in the inner ring and is used to adjust the oiling rate according to the spindle speed. In the above application document, the lubrication structure is driven to work by the force generated by the rotation of the spindle to send lubricating oil to the balls. The effect of adjusting the oiling rate by the force generated by the rotation of the spindle is poor, and the lubrication effect may not be achieved when the shaft speed is slow.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1.

[0015] 2. The utility model is provided with a pressurizing mechanism, so that in the process of the closing plate repeatedly moving up and down to intermittently seep out the lubricating oil, the connecting rod, piston rod, pressurizing chamber and other components will cooperate to drive the suction pipe to absorb external air and discharge it into the oil cavity through the outlet pipe for pressurization, thereby preventing the lubricating oil from being unable to flow out through the oil seepage groove due to the tension of the lubricating oil liquid.

An oil chamber 5 is opened inside the outer ring 3, and an oil filling pipe 6 is passed through and fixedly connected to the front end of the outer ring 3. An oil seepage mechanism 7 and a pressurizing mechanism 8 are provided on the inner side of the outer ring 3; the oil seepage mechanism 7 includes an extrusion rod 71, an oil seepage groove 72 and a slide cylinder 73. The bottom of the extrusion rod 71 is fixedly connected to the inner ring 2, the oil seepage groove 72 is opened on the inner side of the outer ring 3, the top of the slide cylinder 73 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the oil chamber 5, and a telescopic spring 74 is provided inside the slide cylinder 73. The interior of the slide cylinder 73 is slidably connected to a slide rod 75 through the telescopic spring 74. The bottom of the slide rod 75 is fixedly connected to a closing plate 76, and the bottom of the closing plate 76 is fixedly connected to an inclined block 77.
[0027] The end of the extrusion rod 71 away from the inner ring 2 is an inclined surface, and the inclined block 77 is located on the movement trajectory of the extrusion rod 71. When the extrusion rod 71 rotates with the inner ring 2, its inclined surface will squeeze the inclined surface of the inclined block 77 and drive the inclined block 77 to move upward.
[0028] The oil seepage groove 72 is connected to the oil chamber 5 and is trapezoidal in shape. The lubricating oil in the oil chamber 5 can flow out through the oil seepage groove 72 . The trapezoidal oil seepage groove 72 has a smaller bottom opening and a larger upper opening.
[0029] The closing plate 76 is located in the oil seepage groove 72 , and the outer wall of the closing plate 76 initially fits against the inner wall of the oil seepage groove 72 . The closing plate 76 initially closes the oil seepage groove 72 , and when the closing plate 76 moves upward, a gap is created between the closing plate 76 and the inner wall of the oil seepage groove 72 .
[0030] The pressurizing mechanism 8 includes a pressurizing chamber 81, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer ring 3. The internal piston of the pressurizing chamber 81 is slidably connected to the piston rod 82, and the top of the piston rod 82 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 83. The end of the connecting rod 83 away from the piston rod 82 is fixedly connected to the top of the closing plate 76. The side of the pressurizing chamber 81 is penetrated and fixedly connected with an intake pipe 84 and an exhaust pipe 85, and a one-way valve is provided inside the intake pipe 84 and the exhaust pipe 85.
[0031] The end of the intake pipe 84 away from the pressurized chamber 81 is located outside the outer ring 3, and the end of the outlet pipe 85 away from the pressurized chamber 81 is located inside the oil chamber 5. The intake pipe 84 can draw external air into the pressurized chamber 81, and the outlet pipe 85 can discharge air into the oil chamber 5.
[0032] The one-way valve in the intake pipe 84 is for one-way conduction toward the interior of the pressurized chamber 81, and the one-way valve in the outlet pipe 85 is for one-way conduction toward the exterior of the pressurized chamber 81. When negative pressure is formed in the pressurized chamber 81, air will be sucked in through the intake pipe 84, and when the air in the pressurized chamber 81 is squeezed, the air will be discharged through the outlet pipe 85.
[0033] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: lubricating oil can be injected into the oil cavity 5 inside the outer ring 3 through the oil filling pipe 6, and then the oil filling pipe 6 is closed. When the main shaft 1 rotates, it will drive the inner ring 2 to rotate. The rotation of the inner ring 2 cooperates with the ball 4 to roll between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3 to reduce friction, and the rotation of the inner ring 2 will drive the extrusion rod 71 to rotate. When the extrusion rod 71 follows the rotation of the inner ring 2, its inclined surface will be squeezed to the inclined surface of the inclined block 77 and drive the inclined block 77 to move upward. The upward movement of the inclined block 77 will drive the closing plate 76 to move upward. The upward movement of the closing plate 76 drives the sliding rod 75 to move upward. The telescopic spring 74 is compressed, and when the closing plate 76 moves upward, a gap is generated with the inner wall of the oil seepage groove 72. At this time, the lubricating oil can flow out of the oil seepage groove 72 for lubrication. When the extrusion rod 71 moves away from the inclined block 77, the telescopic spring 74 returns to The spring drives the sliding rod 75, the closing plate 76 and the inclined block 77 to move downward and restore. At this time, the closing plate 76 closes the oil seepage groove 72 again, maintaining the lubrication effect by intermittently seeping out the lubricating oil. In the process of the closing plate 76 moving up and down to intermittently seep out the lubricating oil, the upward movement of the closing plate 76 will drive the piston rod 82 upward through the connecting rod 83. The upward movement of the piston rod 82 will form a negative pressure in the pressurizing chamber 81, so that the suction pipe 84 draws air into the pressurizing chamber 81. The closing plate 76 then moves downward and drives the piston rod 82 downward through the connecting rod 83. The downward movement of the piston rod 82 will squeeze the air in the pressurizing chamber 81 and discharge it into the oil chamber 5 through the air outlet pipe 85, increasing the air pressure in the oil chamber 5, and preventing the lubricating oil from being unable to flow out through the oil seepage groove 72 due to the tension of the lubricating oil liquid.
