AI Technical Summary
Traditional one-way valves cannot open under minimal lubrication conditions, resulting in oil and gas blockage. When changing tools, oil and gas escape and pollute the air, affecting the health of operators.
A structure including a spindle, piston, plug, sealing ring and tool pull rod was designed. The internal coolant rod was used to force the piston to move upward to open the lubrication passage. After the tool was disassembled, the piston moved downward under its own weight to automatically block the oil and gas passage to prevent oil and gas from escaping.
The application of minimal lubrication cutting is realized, ensuring lubrication and cooling effects, while avoiding oil and gas leakage, and improving ease of use and safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of machine tool spindles, in particular to a spindle structure suitable for minimal lubrication of cutting tools. Background Art
[0002] In the spindle structure of standard center-flow cutting, a check valve is required to control the water path. Traditional check valves consist of a spring and a steel ball structure forming a valve core structure, and the opening pressure is relatively high, generally above 20 bar.
[0003] To reduce the amount of cutting fluid used to a minimum, machine tools can use minimal lubrication (MQL). MQL pressure is relatively low, typically only 6 to 10 bar, which prevents the opening of traditional check valves, resulting in blockage of MQL oil and gas. Therefore, MQL operation does not allow for the presence of traditional check valves within the spindle.
[0004] In order to enable the spindle to meet the application of minimal lubrication cutting, the one-way valve can be removed. However, when the spindle changes the tool, it cannot automatically block the minimal lubrication oil and gas, which will cause oil and gas to pollute the air and harm human health, and needs to be improved.

[0020] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4 , the embodiments of the present utility model include:
[0022] like Figure 1 The spindle structure shown is suitable for minimal lubrication of tools, and performs minimal lubrication after the tool is installed, including: a spindle 1, a piston 5, a screw plug 3, a sealing ring 4 and a broaching rod 2. The broaching rod 2 is arranged in the spindle 1, and the spindle 1 is provided with a connecting sleeve 9 which is sleeved on the lower part of the broaching rod 2. The screw plug 3 is arranged in the connecting sleeve 9 and is located at the bottom of the broaching rod 2. The outer wall of the screw plug 3 is connected to the connecting sleeve 9 by a threaded manner, and the structure is stable.
[0023] A sleeve 6 is provided within the connecting sleeve 9 and is positioned below the screw plug 3. A sealing ring 4 is provided on top of the sleeve 6 and on the bottom surface of the screw plug 3, limiting the position of the sealing ring 4. A piston 5 is provided within the sleeve 6 and below the sealing ring 4. The piston 5 is provided with a core rod 51 that extends upward through the sealing ring 4 and the screw plug 3 and into the inner hole of the broaching rod 2. The piston 5 and core rod 51 are integrated into a structure that allows for synchronous lifting and lowering, resulting in high stability.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first blind hole 52 is concavely provided at the top of the core rod 51 , and a first valve hole 53 communicating with the first blind hole 52 is provided on the outer circle of the core rod 51 . The minimally lubricated oil and gas in the inner hole of the broaching rod 2 enters the first valve hole 53 through the first blind hole 52 .
[0025] A second blind hole 55 is provided in the concave bottom of the piston 5, extending upward to the core rod 51 and located below the first blind hole 52. A second valve hole 54 connected to the second blind hole 55 is provided on the outer circle of the core rod 51. In this embodiment, 2 to 4 first valve holes 53 are distributed in a circular array in the core rod 51 and extend obliquely outward and downward from the bottom of the first blind hole 52. 2 to 4 second valve holes 54 are distributed in a circular array in the core rod 51 and extend obliquely outward and upward from the top of the second blind hole 55, which is conducive to reducing the distance between the first valve hole 53 and the second valve hole 54.
[0026] A guide hole corresponding to the core rod 51 is provided in the screw plug 3 to guide the lifting of the core rod 51. An annular groove 10 is provided in the guide hole. Figure 3As shown, after the core rod 51 rises, the first valve hole 53 and the second valve hole 54 are simultaneously connected to the annular groove 10 , so that the oil and gas in the first valve hole 53 enter the second valve hole 54 and the second blind hole 55 .
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the port position of the first valve hole 53 on the outer circle of the core rod 51 is higher than the port position of the second valve hole 54 on the outer circle of the core rod 51. Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the port positions of the first valve hole 53 and the second valve hole 54 on the outer circle of the core rod 51 are simultaneously located in the annular groove 10, opening the oil and gas passage.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, after the tool 8 is disassembled, the piston 5 moves downward and resets under the action of its own weight. After the core rod 51 descends, the second valve hole 54 is located in the sealing ring 4 or below the sealing ring 4, automatically blocking the minimally lubricated oil and gas to avoid the problem of oil and gas escaping and polluting the air.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, tool 8 is mounted at the bottom of spindle 1. Tool 8 is equipped with an internal coolant rod 7 extending upward through sleeve 6. The top of internal coolant rod 7 contacts the bottom of piston 5, forcing piston 5 upward and opening the oil and gas passage for minimal lubrication. A pressure relief hole 56 is provided at the bottom of the outer circumference of core rod 51, connected to a second blind hole 55. During the upward movement of piston 5, gas above piston 5 can enter the second blind hole 55 through pressure relief hole 56 and be discharged, ensuring smooth upward movement of piston 5.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a lubrication hole connecting the second blind hole 55 and the tool 8 is provided in the inner cooling rod 7. The lubrication hole allows the oil and gas in the second blind hole 55 to enter the air hole in the tool 8 for minimal lubrication.
[0031] In summary, the utility model points out a spindle structure suitable for micro-lubrication of tools, which realizes the application of micro-lubrication, ensures that the spindle structure can meet the generation of micro-lubrication oil mist, ensures the lubrication and cooling of tools and processed parts, and automatically blocks the micro-lubrication oil and gas through the disassembly of the tool, avoiding the leakage of oil and gas when replacing the tool, thereby improving the convenience and safety of use.
