[0037] In order to make the person skilled in the art better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings of the specification of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0038] Reference to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase "in an embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily all referring to a particular embodiment logically divided into parts. It is explicitly contemplated that embodiments described herein can be combined to include other embodiments.
[0039] Referring to Figures 1-5 The utility model discloses a first aspect provides a kind of electric spindle cooling system, comprising: stator 1, first end cap 2 and second end cap 3 are connected with the top and bottom of the stator 1 respectively;Wherein, the stator 1 is connected with the first end cap 2 of top and the second end cap 3 of bottom and then constitutes closed space;The electric spindle cooling system further includes rotor 4 in the closed space, first cooling flow channel 5 being set through the first end cap 2, second cooling flow channel 6 being set through the second end cap 3, first circulation flow channel 8 being connected with the first cooling flow channel 5, second circulation flow channel 9 being connected with the second cooling flow channel 6, recovery pool 10 being connected with the second circulation flow channel 9, and cooling device 11 being connected with the recovery pool 10, and the cooling device 11 is also connected with first circulation flow channel 8.
[0040] Further, the stator 1 is connected with the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3 to form a sealed space, which can effectively prevent foreign matter from entering the interior of the electric spindle cooling system, and also can prevent mechanical collision from damaging the internal structure of the electric spindle cooling system, thereby playing a good protection role. The stator 1 is a stationary fixed part in the electric spindle cooling system, which can generate a rotating magnetic field after current is passed; the rotor 4 is a rotating part of the electric spindle cooling system, which can obtain an electromagnetic torque to rotate under the action of the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator 1 based on the electromagnetic induction phenomenon.
[0041] Further, the rotor 4 is connected with the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3 through bearings, so as to fix the rotor 4 by the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3. In some embodiments, a stepped fixing groove 42 is provided on the rotating shaft 41 of the rotor 4, and the rotating shaft 41 is connected with the bearing through the fixing groove 42, so as to avoid displacement of the bearing along the rotating shaft 41 when the electric spindle cooling system is working. In addition, a circular through hole is provided in the center of each of the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3, so that the rotor 4 can extend out of the closed space through the circular through hole and be connected with other transmission components or parts.
[0042] In some embodiments, the output end of the rotor 4 can be connected with a load such as a milling machine. By directly connecting the rotor 4 with the load, compared with connecting the milling machine with the motor through a gear box, the power loss caused by the gear box can be reduced. The exemplary power loss can be the energy lost by the gear box during transmission due to internal friction, rotation and vibration, etc. These energies are dissipated in the form of heat, thereby causing the mechanical efficiency to decrease.

On the other hand, by improving the machining precision and stability of the rotor 4 during operation, the machining precision and stability of the motorized spindle can be improved. Exemplarily, the cooling liquid can be cooling oil, which has the characteristics of local non-magnetic, non-flammable, non-conductive and good heat conduction. Using cooling oil as the cooling liquid has no influence on the magnetic circuit of the motorized spindle cooling system, and the heat dissipation efficiency is higher.

The first cooling sub-flow channel 51 is arranged through the first end cover 2 and is used to introduce external cooling liquid into the closed space. The second cooling sub-flow channel 52 has an annular structure and is provided with a through hole at the bottom. The cooling liquid entering the first cooling flow channel 5 first enters the second cooling sub-flow channel 52 through the first cooling sub-flow channel 51, and then is dispersed into the closed space through the through hole in the second cooling sub-flow channel 52 to contact the stator 1 and / or the rotor 4, thereby cooling the stator 1 and / or the rotor 4 in the closed space.
[0045] Further, the second cooling flow channel 6 is arranged through the second end cover 3. In some embodiments, the second cooling flow channel 6 is used to guide the cooling liquid after cooling the stator 1 and / or the rotor 4 in the closed space out, thereby realizing the circulation cooling process of the cooling liquid.

[0049] Further, the electrospindle cooling system further comprises a third end cover 7 connected to the stator 1, in some embodiments, the third end cover 7 is provided with an annular accommodating groove 71, and a third cooling flow channel 72 connected to the outside of the accommodating groove 71; wherein the accommodating groove 71 is arranged below the second cooling flow channel 6 to receive the cooled cooling liquid discharged from the second cooling flow channel 6; it should be noted that the cooled cooling liquid refers to the cooling liquid after cooling the stator 1 and / or the rotor 4, and the third cooling flow channel 72 is used to guide the cooled cooling liquid in the accommodating groove 71 to the outside structure of the electrospindle cooling system.
[0050] In some more preferred embodiments, the connection between the third end cover 7 and the second end cover 3 is further provided with a second sealing ring 73 to enhance the sealing performance of the connection between the third end cover 7 and the second end cover 3.
