Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of numerically controlled machine tools, in particular to an inner and outer rotor composite electric spindle. Background Art
[0002] The electric spindle is a key component in CNC machine tools that controls tool rotation. Its speed and torque are limited by the motor. For the same power, high-speed electric spindles tend to have lower torque, while high-torque electric spindles have relatively lower speeds. To maximize the adaptability of electric spindles, the currently adopted solution is to design the electric spindle motor with a dual-winding design. This means that the stator windings of the electric spindle motor are designed to have both high-speed and low-speed operating modes. This switching mode achieves drive characteristics of high-speed, low-torque and low-speed, high-torque. A specific switching speed threshold is set. When the motor speed falls below this threshold, it operates in low-speed mode, and when the speed exceeds this threshold, it switches to high-speed mode. While this solution broadens the torque and speed range of the electric spindle, the two modes provided by the dual-winding design cannot be arbitrarily combined to define parameters. Comprehensive consideration and balanced matching are required during design. If the electric spindle requires two operating modes with significantly different parameters, a dual-winding solution alone cannot achieve this. Summary of the Invention
