AI Technical Summary
In existing cutting equipment, water entering the spindle leads to reduced bearing life and dilution of lubricating oil, and the sealing ring is easily corroded, affecting production efficiency.
An annular drainage groove and an installation groove are set in the spindle end cover. The cutting fluid is introduced into the drainage groove by centrifugal force and discharged in time to prevent the cutting fluid from soaking the seal. The cutting fluid is blocked from entering the installation groove by the annular partition.
It increases the service life of the seal, ensures production efficiency, and avoids frequent replacement of seals and a decrease in equipment efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Existing cutting equipment uses a drive motor and a gear reduction mechanism to drive the spindle, with a cutting head mounted on the end of the spindle that extends beyond the gearbox. This can lead to water ingress into the spindle, shortening bearing life and diluting the lubricating oil. This problem is typically addressed by installing a sealing ring in the spindle end cap. However, over long periods of use, due to the high flow of cutting fluid at the end of the spindle where the cutting head is mounted, a large amount of cutting fluid accumulates between the spindle, the spindle end cap, and the sealing ring, which can corrode the sealing ring and reduce its service life. Frequent sealing ring replacement also impacts the production efficiency of the cutting equipment. Utility Model Content
