[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-2 As shown in the utility model is a kind of lead machine main shaft front end sealing protection structure, including shaft core 1, nut 2, repair spacer ring 4 and angular contact ball bearing 7 are respectively sleeved on the outer surface of shaft core 1 from right to left, angular contact ball bearing 7 outer ring is sleeved bearing seat 6, bearing seat 6 right end face is fixedly installed front end cover 5, front end cover 5 is sleeved on the outer surface of repair spacer ring 4, front end cover 5 is positioned on bearing seat 6 with stop, front end cover 5 left stop end face has pre-tightening force to the outer ring of angular contact ball bearing 7, front end cover 5 right end face is fixedly installed protective cover 3, protective cover 3 is sleeved on the outer surface of nut 2, protective cover 3 is positioned on front end cover 5 with stop, protective cover 3 is opened with drain hole A8 and drain hole B9 below;

[0027] First annular cavity 17, second annular cavity 18 are formed in sequence from right to left between nut 2 and protective cover 3, third annular cavity 19, fourth annular cavity 20, fifth annular cavity 21 are formed in front of angular contact ball bearing 7 between front end cover 5 and repair spacer ring 4;

[0028] First stage sealing 11 and second stage sealing 12 are formed in two labyrinth sealing gaps from right to left in the circumferential direction of nut 2 and protective cover 3, the structure of first stage sealing 11 is radial comb tooth type sealing structure, and the structure of second stage sealing 12 is small-gap centrifugal sealing protection structure;Third stage sealing 13, fourth stage sealing 14, fifth stage sealing 15 and sixth stage sealing 16 are formed in four labyrinth sealing gaps from right to left in the circumferential direction of front end cover 5 and repair spacer ring 4, the structure of fifth stage sealing 15 is radial comb tooth type sealing structure, and the structures of third stage sealing 13, fourth stage sealing 14 and sixth stage sealing 16 are all small-gap centrifugal sealing protection structures.

[0029] Further, the first annular cavity 17 is located between the nut 2 and the protective cover 3 at the first trapezoidal ring groove from right to left; the second annular cavity 18 is located between the nut 2 and the protective cover 3 at the second groove from right to left.

[0030] Further, the third annular cavity 19 is located between the front end cover 5 and the repair spacer ring 4 at the groove on the right end face of the front end cover 5; the fourth annular cavity 20 is located between the front end cover 5 and the repair spacer ring 4 at the first trapezoidal ring groove from right to left; the fifth annular cavity 21 is located between the repair spacer ring 4 and the front end cover 5 at the second trapezoidal ring groove from right to left.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The working principle of the front end sealing protection structure of the main shaft of the core running machine is shown in the embodiment.

[0032] I. When the main shaft of the core running machine is working, the shaft core 1, the nut 2 and the repair spacer ring 4 at the front end of the main shaft are in a high-speed rotating state. The only way for external gas mist and impurities to enter the front end of the main shaft is through the gap between the rotating nut 2 and the non-rotating protective cover 3.

[0033] II. When the main shaft is rotating at high speed, a large amount of cutting fluid splashes into the sealing gap. The first-stage radial comb-shaped sealing structure formed by the nut 2 and the protective cover 3 at the front end can effectively block a large amount of splashing cutting fluid and impurities such as iron filings. The higher the speed of the main shaft, the better the protection effect. After the main shaft stops, the large sharp corner at the front end of the nut 2 can prevent the backflow of cutting fluid. At this moment, the comb-shaped sealing structure is invalid, but part of the cutting fluid is sucked into the first annular cavity 17 under the capillary effect. This is the primary protective sealing structure at the front end of the main shaft of the core running machine.

[0034] III. In the processing process, the material of the core machine stops working, the comb seal structure loses the ability to intercept and drain. After the main shaft stops in harsh working conditions, there is a large amount of gas mist in the environment where the core machine main shaft is located, and the splashed cutting fluid is accumulated into droplets in the sealing gap between the nut 2 and the protective cover 3. Due to the capillary effect, the cutting fluid can enter the first annular cavity 17 through the first sealing gap 11. The first annular cavity 17 is provided with a drain hole A8, so that the cutting fluid and impurities flowing into the first annular cavity 17 can flow out of the drain hole A8 at the first time, and only a small part of the cutting fluid remains on the cavity wall. When the cutting fluid passes through the first annular cavity 17 and enters the second sealing structure 12 formed by the nut 2 and the protective cover 3 at the front end, the second sealing structure 12 is a small-gap centrifugal sealing protection structure, and the sealing gap distance is between 0.15-0.20mm. The cutting fluid enters the second annular cavity 18 through the second sealing gap 12. The second annular cavity 18 is provided with a drain hole B9, so that the cutting fluid and impurities flowing into the second annular cavity 18 can flow out of the drain hole B9 at the first time. When the cutting fluid passes through the second annular cavity 18 and enters the third sealing structure 13 formed by the front end cover 5 and the repair spacer ring 4 between the front end cover 5, the third sealing structure 13 is a small-gap centrifugal sealing protection structure with a labyrinth structure, which loses kinetic energy and slows down the flow rate. The cutting fluid enters the third annular cavity 19 through the third sealing gap 13, and the kinetic energy is almost exhausted. A small amount of cutting fluid flows to the fourth sealing structure 14, which is a small-gap centrifugal sealing protection structure with a sealing gap distance of 0.15-0.2mm. The cutting fluid enters the fourth annular cavity 20 through the fourth sealing gap 14. The fourth annular cavity 20 is also called an expansion chamber and an oxygen collection tank. At this time, the gas mist is almost completely blocked and liquefied. The cutting fluid remaining in the fourth annular cavity 20 flows to the fifth sealing structure 15, which is a comb seal structure. The cutting fluid enters the fifth annular cavity 21 through the fifth sealing gap 15. The fourth annular cavity 20 is provided with a drain hole C10, so that the cutting fluid and impurities flowing into the fourth annular cavity 20 can flow out of the drain hole C10 at the first time. The gas loses kinetic energy and cannot continue to climb. The cutting fluid can only flow to the sixth sealing structure 16 through the fifth annular cavity 21. The sixth sealing structure 16 is a small-gap centrifugal sealing protection structure with a sealing gap distance of 0.15-0.20mm. The cutting fluid passing through the sixth sealing structure 16 can affect the bearing. The cutting fluid flowing to the sixth sealing structure 16 is almost zero, so that the inside of the front end of the core machine main shaft is protected. This is the sealing protection structure of the front end of the core machine main shaft.
