AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing machine tool spindle cooling systems, the rear bearing housing accumulates heat when the "front-middle-rear" cooling scheme is used, while the front bearing housing accumulates heat when the "rear-middle-front" cooling scheme is used, resulting in poor cooling performance.

Method used

The cooling scheme adopts a "rear-front-middle" approach. The coolant first passes through the rear bearing housing, then through the front bearing housing, and finally through the spindle body. By setting circumferential cooling channels in the rear and front bearing housings, and setting circumferential and axial cooling channels in the intermediate sleeve in the spindle body, an efficient coolant flow path is formed.

Benefits of technology

This effectively avoids heat accumulation in the rear and front bearing housings, ensuring the precision of the spindle front end. By uniformly cooling the spindle body, it optimizes the overall cooling effect and thermal gradient, improving the efficiency of the cooling system.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to lathe spindle and lathe spindle's front bearing seat. BACKGROUND

[0002] The applicant provides a lathe spindle in the patent document with application number 202211525780.2, which has a spindle cooling system. The spindle cooling system contains a cooling liquid channel network. The cooling liquid channels in the cooling liquid channel network are distributed in the shell layers of the spindle body, the front bearing seat, and the rear bearing seat and are respectively connected with the machine tool cooling liquid input interface and the machine tool cooling liquid return interface. According to the record in paragraph 0081 of the specification of the patent document, when the spindle cooling system is working, the cooling liquid first passes through the cooling liquid channels in the front bearing seat, then passes through the cooling liquid channels in the spindle body (the cooling liquid channels in the spindle body have multiple axial channels opened along the axial direction of the spindle body), and finally passes through the cooling liquid channels in the rear bearing seat; that is, the spindle cooling system adopts a "front-middle-rear" cooling scheme.

[0003] Thereafter, the applicant provides a lathe spindle in the patent document with application number 202311546879.5. To improve the cooling effect on the main heat source, i.e., the motor stator, during the operation of the lathe spindle, the cooling liquid channels in the spindle body are improved. An intermediate sleeve is added between the inner side wall of the spindle body and the outer side wall of the motor stator to form a cooling liquid flow path that covers the outer side of the motor stator, which can more effectively cool the motor stator. In addition, according to the record in the specification of the patent document, when the spindle cooling system is working, the cooling liquid first passes through the cooling liquid channels in the rear bearing seat, then passes through the cooling liquid channels in the spindle body, and finally passes through the cooling liquid channels in the front bearing seat; that is, the spindle cooling system adopts a "rear-middle-front" cooling scheme.

[0004] The inventor finds that when the above-mentioned "front-middle-rear" cooling scheme is adopted, the cooling liquid first passes through the front bearing seat, at which time the cooling effect is the best, while the main heat source, i.e., the motor stator, during the operation of the lathe spindle, has already significantly increased in temperature after the spindle body is cooled by the cooling liquid, and the cooling effect is poor when the rear bearing seat is cooled thereafter, which easily leads to heat accumulation in the rear bearing seat. When the above-mentioned "rear-middle-front" cooling scheme is adopted, i.e., the cooling liquid first passes through the rear bearing seat, at which time the cooling effect is the best, while the main heat source, i.e., the motor stator, during the operation of the lathe spindle, has already significantly increased in temperature after the spindle body is cooled by the cooling liquid, and the cooling effect is poor when the front bearing seat is cooled thereafter, which easily leads to heat accumulation in the front bearing seat.

[0038] The machine tool main shaft adopts the "rear-front-middle" cooling scheme (that is, when the main shaft cooling system 7 works, the cooling liquid flows among the rear bearing seat ring circumferential cooling channel 71, the main shaft body ring circumferential cooling channel 72 and the front bearing seat ring circumferential cooling channel 74 in the order of first passing through the rear bearing seat ring circumferential cooling channel 71, then passing through the front bearing seat ring circumferential cooling channel 74 and finally passing through the main shaft body ring circumferential cooling channel 72), effectively solving the shortcomings of the previous two schemes, and optimizing the overall cooling effect. First, the rear bearing seat is cooled, avoiding heat accumulation in the rear part; then the front bearing seat is cooled, ensuring the precision of the front end of the main shaft; since the heat generated by the rear bearing seat and the front bearing seat is much smaller than that of the main shaft body, the main shaft body 1 (including the motor stator) is finally cooled, which can be more uniformly cooled by using cooling liquid with moderate temperature. This sequence not only balances the heat distribution, improves the thermal gradient, but also optimizes the cooling effect of the main heat source (the motor stator). Through more balanced temperature control, it helps to maintain the high-precision operation of the main shaft, and improves the efficiency of the entire cooling system.

[0039] The rear bearing seat ring circumferential cooling channel 71 comprises a rear bearing seat outer side wall annular groove circumferentially arranged on the outer side wall of the rear bearing seat matched with the inner side wall of the main shaft body 1.

[0040] The main shaft body annular cooling channel 72 can adopt the scheme provided in the patent document with application number 202311546879.5, that is, the main shaft body annular cooling channel 72 comprises a plurality of intermediate sleeve outer wall annular grooves arranged along the axis and uniformly spaced apart, which are formed on the outer wall of the intermediate sleeve 11 sleeved between the inner side wall of the main shaft body 1 and the outer side wall of the motor stator. The outer wall of the intermediate sleeve is provided with a plurality of convex rings arranged along the axis and uniformly spaced apart, so that an intermediate sleeve outer wall annular groove is formed between any two adjacent convex rings. A recess is formed on each of the plurality of convex rings, and the recesses of any two adjacent convex rings are 180° apart in the circumferential direction. The plurality of convex rings are respectively matched with the inner side wall of the main shaft body. The recess on each of the plurality of convex rings allows the passage between any two adjacent intermediate sleeve outer wall annular grooves through the corresponding recess. The main shaft body annular cooling channel cooling liquid inlet is communicated with the intermediate sleeve outer wall annular groove at the front end of the intermediate sleeve, and the recess on the convex ring at the front end of the intermediate sleeve is 180° apart in the circumferential direction. The main shaft body annular cooling channel cooling liquid outlet is communicated with the intermediate sleeve outer wall annular groove at the rear end of the intermediate sleeve, and the recess on the convex ring at the rear end of the intermediate sleeve is 180° apart in the circumferential direction.

[0041] In another specific embodiment, the main shaft body annular cooling channel 72 can comprise an intermediate sleeve outer wall spiral groove formed on the outer wall of the intermediate sleeve 11 sleeved between the inner side wall of the main shaft body 1 and the outer side wall of the motor stator. The main shaft body annular cooling channel cooling liquid inlet is arranged at the front end of the intermediate sleeve outer wall spiral groove, and the main shaft body annular cooling channel cooling liquid outlet is arranged at the rear end of the intermediate sleeve outer wall spiral groove.

[0042] The main shaft body axial flow guide channel 73 is formed by a main shaft body axial flow guide hole formed in the main shaft body. The main shaft body axial flow guide channel cooling liquid inlet is arranged at the rear end of the main shaft body axial flow guide hole, and the main shaft body axial flow guide channel cooling liquid outlet is arranged at the front end of the main shaft body axial flow guide hole.

[0043] Specifically, the number of main shaft body axial flow guide holes can be two, and the two main shaft body axial flow guide holes are arranged close to each other. Since the number of main shaft body axial flow guide holes is small (two), this helps to improve the strength of the main shaft body 1.

[0044] The front bearing seat has a front bearing seat body 41 and a ring 42 installed on the inner side of the front bearing seat body 41. The front bearing seat ring cooling channel 74 comprises a front bearing seat body inner side wall ring groove 741 circumferentially arranged on the inner side wall of the front bearing seat body 41. In addition, the middle region of the outer side of the front bearing seat body 41 is provided with a main shaft body front end mounting flange 43, and a plurality of bolt axial mounting holes are circumferentially arranged on the main shaft body front end mounting flange 43. The front end of the main shaft body 1 is connected together with the main shaft body front end mounting flange 43 through bolts 44 inserted into the bolt axial mounting holes. The front bearing seat ring cooling channel 74 further comprises a front bearing seat body outer side wall ring groove 742 circumferentially arranged on the outer side wall of the front bearing seat body 41 and matched with the inner side wall of the main shaft body 1. The front bearing seat body 41 is provided with a front bearing seat body internal passage for connecting the front bearing seat body inner side wall ring groove 741 and the front bearing seat body outer side wall ring groove 742. The front bearing seat ring cooling channel cooling liquid inlet is arranged on the front bearing seat body inner side wall ring groove 741, and the front bearing seat ring cooling channel cooling liquid outlet is arranged on the front bearing seat body outer side wall ring groove 742.

[0045] The advantages of this design mainly include: first, the ring groove structure of the inner and outer side walls of the front bearing seat body 41 (the front bearing seat body inner side wall ring groove 741 and the front bearing seat body outer side wall ring groove 742) and the front bearing seat body internal passage form an efficient cooling loop, which can comprehensively cover the front bearing seat area and ensure uniform cooling. Second, the main shaft body front end mounting flange 43 and the bolt connection mode stably and reliably install the front bearing seat body 41 and the main shaft body 1 together, and the front bearing seat body inner side wall ring groove 741 and the front bearing seat body outer side wall ring groove 742 are located on both sides of the main shaft body front end mounting flange 43, so that the front bearing seat ring cooling channel 74 can be transitioned to the main shaft body ring cooling channel 72 through the passage (see Figure 6 ) formed in the main shaft body 1. It can be seen that this structure design not only optimizes the cooling effect, but also considers the assembly convenience and structural stability.

[0046] The bottom of the annular groove 741 of the front bearing seat body inner side wall is provided with an arc-shaped flow collection groove 743, the bottom of the arc-shaped flow collection groove 743 is provided with two parallel cooling liquid inlet holes, and the two cooling liquid inlet holes form the front bearing seat ring-shaped cooling channel cooling liquid inlets, respectively.

[0047] The arc-shaped flow collection groove 743 can effectively collect and distribute the cooling liquid. The design that the two parallel cooling liquid inlet holes correspond to the two main shaft body axial flow guide holes one by one ensures the uniform distribution and flow of the cooling liquid, and then the arc-shaped flow collection groove 743 is used to guide the flow in two different directions, so that the front bearing seat is rapidly cooled. The number of the main shaft body axial flow guide holes is limited to two and arranged close to each other, so that the structural strength of the main shaft body 1 is maximally reserved while ensuring sufficient cooling effect.

[0048] The cooling liquid channel network further comprises a main shaft body axial output channel, the main shaft body ring-shaped cooling channel cooling liquid outlet is communicated with the machine tool cooling liquid return interface through the main shaft body axial output channel.

[0049] The above related contents of the utility model have been described. The ordinary skilled in the art can realize the utility model based on these descriptions. Based on the above contents of the description, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of patent protection.
