Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machining technology, and in particular to a spindle structure for a high-precision machining center. Background Technology

[0002] A gantry machining center is a machining center in which the spindle Z-axis is set perpendicular to the worktable. The overall structure is a large machining center with a portal frame consisting of double columns and a top beam. There is also a crossbeam in the middle of the double columns. It is especially suitable for machining large workpieces and workpieces with complex shapes. The spindle is a component of the machining center.

[0003] The existing spindle structure of high-precision CNC gantry machining centers has the problem that the internal tools transfer some heat to the spindle during use, causing the spindle temperature to rise and affecting its service life. This cannot meet the needs of users. Therefore, a new spindle structure for high-precision machining centers is proposed.

[0004] A high-precision CNC gantry machining center spindle structure disclosed in publication number CN212264552U includes a spindle body and a limiting ring. The left end of the spindle body has a mounting groove, and a cutting tool is placed inside the mounting groove. A rubber pad is placed inside the cutting tool, and a pull rod is attached to the side of the rubber pad away from the tool's centerline. The limiting ring is located in the middle of the pull rod. A vent hole is provided at the outer end of the spindle body, and a partition is provided inside the spindle body. A flange is fixed to the right end of the spindle body, and a connector is fixed to the right side of the flange. Compared with existing ordinary spindle structures, this high-precision CNC gantry machining center spindle structure, through an anti-wear layer, avoids direct contact between the spindle body and other objects, preventing wear and affecting the spindle's lifespan. It facilitates the installation and removal of cutting tools, increases the bonding force between the spindle and the cutting tool, prevents tool slippage, and the fan accelerates the airflow within the spindle for rapid heat dissipation.

[0005] While the aforementioned patent achieves the goal of preventing the spindle body from directly contacting other objects and causing wear, thus affecting the spindle's lifespan, through the anti-wear layer, facilitating the installation and removal of cutting tools, increasing the bonding force with the cutting tools, preventing tool slippage, and accelerating the airflow within the spindle for rapid heat dissipation, this device does not easily protect against metal shavings generated during tool processing. The flying metal shavings can easily cause injury to surrounding workers.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a spindle structure for a high-precision machining center to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A plurality of heat-conducting pillars are fixedly connected to one side of the heat dissipation fins. The heat-conducting pillars are used to absorb the heat generated by the hot surface of the semiconductor cooling chip.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this invention, the cold side of the semiconductor refrigeration chip is located inside the refrigeration chamber, and the hot side of the semiconductor refrigeration chip is located inside the heat dissipation chamber. The heat dissipation chamber serves to dissipate heat from the semiconductor refrigeration chip.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the hot side of the semiconductor cooling chip overlaps the end of the heat-conducting column, and a flange connector is fixedly connected to the back of the main spindle body. The flange connector serves to install and disassemble the main spindle body.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two cooling fans are installed on the surface of the heat dissipation chamber, and a ventilation opening is provided on the back of the heat dissipation chamber.

The spindle structure of this high-precision machining center, through the setting of the cooling mechanism, when the power is turned on to dissipate heat inside the spindle body, causes the semiconductor cooling chip inside the cooling chamber to emit cool air. The cool air enters the spindle body through four air pipes, rapidly dissipating heat inside the spindle body. In conjunction with the heat dissipation mechanism on one side, the heat from the hot surface of the semiconductor cooling chip is dissipated, which can improve the cooling effect of the semiconductor cooling chip and prevent the internal tool body from transferring some heat to the spindle body, causing the spindle body temperature to rise and affecting the service life of the spindle body.

[0020] 2. The spindle structure of this high-precision machining center, through the setting of the protective mechanism, when the power is turned on during the machining of the workpiece, the electric push rod on one side is activated. The electric push rod drives the protective cover at the end to move to the appropriate position and then wraps around the tool body. This can effectively block the flying debris generated by the tool body during the machining process, improve the safety of the equipment processing, and avoid the flying debris from causing injury to the surrounding personnel.

The cooling mechanism 6 can improve the efficiency of semiconductor machining. The cooling effect of the body cooling chip 601 prevents the internal tool body 12 from transferring some heat to the spindle body 1, which would cause the temperature of the spindle body 1 to rise and affect the service life of the spindle body 1. The protective mechanism 4 includes an electric push rod 401 fixedly connected to the surface of the extension block 3. A protective cover 402 is fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod 401. A battery 403 is electrically connected to one side of the electric push rod 401 through a power line.

The heat dissipation mechanism 8 is used to dissipate heat from the hot surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 601.

[0029] The heat dissipation mechanism 8 includes heat dissipation fins 801 fixedly connected to the surface of the heat dissipation chamber 7. Several heat conduction pillars 802 are fixedly connected to one side of the heat dissipation fins 801. The heat conduction pillars 802 are used to absorb the heat generated by the hot surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 601.

[0030] The cold side of the thermoelectric cooler 601 is located inside the cooling chamber 5, and the hot side of the thermoelectric cooler 601 is located inside the heat dissipation chamber 7. The heat dissipation chamber 7 is used to dissipate heat from the thermoelectric cooler 601.

[0033] The tool connector 2 has a tool body 12 installed inside. The surface of the tool connector 2 has several through holes, which facilitate the flow of gas.

[0034] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0035] First step: When cooling the inside of the spindle body 1, turn on the power so that the semiconductor cooling chip 601 inside the cooling chamber 5 emits cool air. The cool air enters the inside of the spindle body 1 through four air pipes to quickly cool the inside of the spindle body 1. In conjunction with the heat dissipation mechanism 8 on one side, the heat on the hot surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 601 is dissipated.

[0036] The second step: When processing the workpiece, turn on the power and start the electric push rod 401 on one side. The electric push rod 401 drives the protective cover 402 at the end to move. After it moves to a suitable position, it covers the tool body 12, which can effectively block the flying debris generated by the tool body 12 during processing.
