[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a mechanical spindle for a drilling and tapping machine includes a spindle body 1, the spindle body 1 includes a spindle head 2, a front end bearing 14 is provided on the lower outer side of the spindle head 2, a rear end bearing 11 is provided above the front end bearing 14 and is sleeved on the outer side of the spindle head 2, an inner spacer 13 is provided between the rear end bearing 11 and the front end bearing 14 and is sleeved on the outer side of the spindle head 2, an outer spacer 12 is provided on the outer side of the inner spacer 13, and the outer diameter of the outer spacer 12 is not greater than the outer diameter of the front end bearing 14.

[0026] The spindle body 1 is designed without a bearing sleeve and has a reduced diameter, which solves the problem of reduced strength of the drilling and tapping machine spindle head 2 due to its compact structure. The small size amplifies the rigidity of the spindle, improves the processing rigidity, and improves the processing performance of the machine tool.

[0027] The specification of the front end bearing 14 is one size larger than that of the rear end bearing 11, and the rigidity of the main shaft is increased accordingly.

[0028] A locking nut 7 sleeved on the outside of the spindle head 2 is provided at the upper end of the rear end bearing 11 , and the locking nut 7 is used to seal the rear end bearing 11 .

[0029] A circular inner washer 8 is provided between the rear end bearing 11 and the locking nut 7 and is sleeved on the outside of the spindle head 2. A circular outer washer 10 is provided on the outer sleeve of the circular inner washer 8. A bearing outer washer 9 is provided on the upper end of the circular outer washer 10, which improves the sealing of the rear end bearing 11.

[0030] A bearing washer 15 is provided at the lower end of the front end bearing 14 and sleeved on the outside of the spindle head 2 , thereby improving the sealing performance of the front end bearing 14 .

[0031] A flange cover 18 is sleeved on the outer side of the lower end of the spindle head 2 and is located below the front end bearing 14 . The bearing washer 15 is located between the flange cover 18 and the front end bearing 14 . An O-ring 22 is provided on the upper end of the flange cover 18 and is located outside the bearing washer 15 .

[0032] An air curtain retaining ring 16 is provided at the lower end of the flange cover 18 , and an air blowing seal 17 located at the lower end surface of the flange cover 18 is provided outside the air curtain retaining ring 16 .

[0033] The spindle head 2 is provided with an axial cavity that passes through from top to bottom, and a broaching rod body 5 is provided in the axial cavity. A tool clamping groove is provided at the lower end of the tool clamping groove, and a through hole connected to the tool clamping groove is provided on the side wall of the tool clamping groove. The through hole accommodates a steel ball 19, and the diameter of the steel ball 19 is greater than the length of the through hole. The lower end of the spindle head 2 is provided with a receiving groove that is coaxially connected to the axial cavity, and the upper part of the receiving groove is a tapered part, and the tapered part is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The diameter of the receiving groove is greater than the inner diameter of the axial cavity, and the tool clamping groove The inner part is used to accommodate the upper part of the tool clamped by the main shaft body 1. The side wall of the upper part of the tool is provided with a groove that cooperates with the steel ball 19. The upper part of the tool is extended into the tool clamping groove. The steel balls 19 are located on both sides of the groove. The broaching rod 5 is moved upward. When the steel balls 19 on the broaching rod 5 move upward, the inner diameter of the shaft cavity is smaller than the inner diameter of the accommodating groove. The steel balls 19 move toward the center axis of the tool clamping groove due to the small inner diameter of the shaft cavity. The steel balls 19 enter the groove and drive the tool to move upward during the movement on the steel balls 19. At the same time, the steel balls 19 squeeze the tool.

[0034] The spindle head 2 is provided with a tool loosening hole 20 passing through the axial cavity, and the tool loosening hole 20 is a vertical long strip. A tool pulling rod head 4 is provided in the axial cavity, and the tool pulling rod head 4 is connected to a tool loosening rod 3 passing through and extending out of the tool loosening hole 20. The lower end of the tool pulling rod head 4 is provided with a matching groove for accommodating the upper end of the tool pulling rod body 5. The outer side of the tool pulling rod body 5 is provided with a strong spring 6 located in the axial cavity. The upper and lower ends of the strong spring 6 are respectively connected to the lower end of the tool pulling rod head 4 and the axial cavity, so as to improve the control of the tool loosening rod 3 to move up and down, drive the tool pulling rod head 4 to move up and down, facilitate the clamping and loosening of the tool, have a simple structure, reliable clamping, easy replacement, and reduced cost.

[0035] When the tool clamped by the spindle body 1 needs to be loosened, a tool loosening arm 21 is provided above the tool loosening rod 3 and is located on the outside of the spindle head 2. The tool loosening arm 21 can be set on the machine tool or the spindle head 2 to control the tool loosening arm 21 to swing downward and press the tool loosening rod 3. The tool loosening arm 21 is in contact with the pressing tool loosening rod 3 to compress the strong spring 6, and the tool pulling rod head 4 and the tool pulling rod body 5 move downward, driving the tool to move downward. At the same time, the steel ball 19 moves downward and a part of the steel ball 19 enters the accommodating groove. As the outer diameter of the outer circle increases, the steel ball 19 retreats to loosen the tool.

[0036] When the tool needs to be clamped, the upper end of the tool release arm 21 is lifted, and the tool pulling rod 5 moves upward under the force of the strong spring 6. When the steel ball 19 in the tool pulling rod 5 moves upward, it moves inward due to the reduction of the outer circle diameter and drives the tool to move upward until the steel ball 19 squeezes the tool. Under the pulling force of the strong spring 6, the tool is clamped, and the spindle body 1 can drive the tool for processing.

[0037] Annular retaining rings are provided at both ends of the through hole, and the provision of the annular retaining rings facilitates preventing the steel ball 19 from escaping from the through hole.
