[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a direct-drive angle-adjusting shaft head, including a main body 1, a quick-connect coupling, and an electric spindle 2. The electric spindle 2 is disposed in a receiving cavity located in the middle of the main body 1. The main body 1 includes a torque motor 5. The output end of the torque motor 5 is fixedly connected to the electric spindle 2. The quick-connect coupling is fixed at the end of the main body 1 and is used to fixally connect the mating joint of the rotary drive shaft.

A receiving cavity is provided in the middle of the main body 1, and the electric spindle 2 is housed within the receiving cavity. The output end of the torque motor 5 is fixedly connected to the electric spindle 2 to drive the electric spindle 2 to rotate.
[0031] This invention improves the efficiency of shaft replacement by providing a quick-connect connector at the end of the main body 1, which can be quickly connected to the mating connector on the rotary drive shaft.
[0032] Furthermore, the main body 1 also includes a rotary joint, which has a liquid passage communicating with the liquid spraying passage in the electric spindle 2. The rotating part 3 of the rotary joint is fixedly connected to the electric spindle 2. The rotating part 3 is provided with a liquid outlet communicating with the liquid passage.

[0033] Specifically, the rotating part 3 of the rotary joint is fixedly connected to the electric spindle 2 and rotates synchronously with the electric spindle 2; the fixed part 4 of the rotary joint is rotatably connected to the electric spindle 2, and the central axis of the rotatable connection is coaxial with the rotation axis of the output end of the torque motor 5, ensuring that the fixed part 4 remains stationary while the electric spindle 2 rotates. This invention can achieve angle adjustment of the machining tool in two directions.
[0034] In this embodiment, the quick-connect coupling and the docking coupling of the rotary drive shaft are male and female couplings, which can achieve quick connection. Both can use existing devices, and their specific structures will not be described in detail.

This embodiment also provides a rotary connector. By setting a liquid passage on the rotary connector and setting the liquid inlet of the liquid passage on the fixed part 4 and the liquid outlet on the rotating part 3, it is possible to continuously supply liquid to the rotating electric spindle 2 for cooling and lubrication. Moreover, the liquid conduit 11 is more convenient to set, and the rotation of the electric spindle 2 will not cause the liquid conduit 11 to curl or entangle, ensuring that the electric spindle 2 can work stably for a long time.
[0036] Furthermore, the outer wall of the fixed part 4 is sealed and fitted to the inner wall of the rotating part 3, and an annular passage portion 6 is formed between the outer wall of the fixed part 4 and the inner wall of the rotating part 3 in the liquid passage.

The clamp 8 is a ring structure, with one part fixed to the housing and the other part fixed to the main body 1, thereby enabling the electric spindle 2 to be clamped and fixed at a specified angle through pneumatic control.
[0040] Furthermore, it also includes an outer cover 9 fixedly fitted onto the outside of the main body 1, with the wires 10, liquid conduit 11, and gas conduit all housed inside the outer cover 9. This prevents interference between the wires 10, liquid conduit 11, and gas conduit and other equipment.

The mating gear 15 is used to connect the mating joint of the rotary drive shaft. Correspondingly, the mating joint is also equipped with an output gear. Through the meshing of the mating gear 15 and the output gear, torque can be transmitted, thereby achieving the purpose of the rotary drive shaft driving the main body 1 to rotate.
[0046] Furthermore, the central surface of the electric spindle 2, which is arranged along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, is coplanar with the axis of the quick-connect coupling, and the swing angle of the electric spindle 2 is 220°. Using the aforementioned central surface as a boundary, the electric spindle 2 can rotate 110° to one side of the central surface.
