[0024] Figures 1-3 The main shaft box heat insulation structure of the application comprises a main shaft box 300, a gearbox 200, and a connecting plate 100 fixedly connected with the gearbox 200 and the main shaft box 300.

[0025] Specifically, the main shaft box 300 is hollow, and the gearbox 200 is located in the interior of the main shaft box 300.

[0026] As shown in Figure 3 The connecting plate 100 is provided with a cooling inlet 101, a cooling outlet 102, and a cooling circulation pipeline 103 located in the interior of the connecting plate 100, and the cooling inlet 101 and the cooling outlet 102 are in communication through the cooling circulation pipeline 103.

[0027] Specifically, the connecting plate 100 is made of a corrosion-resistant material. In the embodiment, the connecting plate 100 is made of stainless steel material. The material has high mechanical strength and better rust and corrosion resistance than ordinary steel.

[0028] In other embodiments, the corrosion-resistant material is aluminum alloy material (corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy) or glass steel (fiber-reinforced plastic).

[0029] The main shaft box heat insulation structure further comprises a motor 400 and a main shaft 500, the main shaft 500 is installed on the main shaft box 300, and the motor 400 is connected with the main shaft 500 and located on one side of the gearbox 200.

[0030] The main shaft box heat insulation structure further comprises a cutting fluid water pump assembly 600, and the cooling circulation pipeline 103 is connected with the cutting fluid water pump assembly 600.

[0031] Specifically, the cutting fluid water pump assembly 600 includes a cutting fluid water pump (not shown in the figure) and a cutting fluid burl pipe 601, the cutting fluid water pump is connected with the cooling inlet 101, and the cutting fluid burl pipe 601 is connected through the cooling outlet 102.

[0032] Specifically, the cooling outlet 102 is arranged along the outside of the main shaft box 300.

[0033] In other embodiments, the cooling medium of the coupling plate 100 is cooling oil, and a part of the heat of the coupling plate 100 is taken away by oil cooling, and another part of the heat of the coupling plate 100 is insulated by the heat insulation piece 700.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the cooling medium is cutting fluid, the temperature of the cutting fluid is generally equivalent to the ambient temperature, and the temperature of the cutting fluid is much lower than that of the oil cooling machine oil; at the same time, the main cost of the cutting fluid is water, the specific heat capacity of water is larger than that of oil, and more heat can be taken away in unit time, which better helps the heat dissipation of the gearbox 200.

[0035] The cutting fluid water pump assembly 600 is part of the machine tool complete equipment, and plays an important role in cooling, lubrication, chip removal and the like during machine tool machining. Therefore, by connecting the coupling plate 100 and the cutting fluid water pump assembly 600 in series, no additional cost is increased; and the cutting fluid water pump pressure of the machine tool cooling system is generally higher than that of the oil cooling machine, and under the condition of a certain pipe diameter, the higher the pressure, the greater the flow, and the more heat taken away in unit time, the better the heat dissipation performance; the coupling plate 100 is directly connected to the cutting fluid system, and the gearbox 200 can also be assisted to dissipate heat for the equipment without an oil cooling system, which is more economical, and can improve the thermal stability of the main shaft box 300 and the precision stability of the machine tool.

[0036] The main shaft box heat insulation structure further includes a heat insulation piece 700 located between the coupling plate 100 and the main shaft box 300. The material has a certain hardness, can be processed into the required shape, and has good heat insulation performance, which can effectively block the heat transfer between the coupling plate 100 and the main shaft box 300.

[0037] Specifically, the heat insulation piece 700 is a heat insulation film, and the heat insulation film covers the coupling plate 100. After the heat insulation film is covered, the heat insulation film can effectively prevent heat transfer. The heat insulation film is generally composed of multiple layers of materials, some of which (such as ceramic fiber, aerogel, etc.) have very low thermal conductivity. By heat insulating the coupling plate 100, the temperature field of the main shaft box 300 located around the coupling plate 100 can be better controlled, and the influence of temperature fluctuation on the precision of the machine tool can be reduced.

[0038] Specifically, the heat insulation piece 700 is a non-metallic material.

[0041] In use, the spindle box heat insulation structure in the application, the motor 400 is directly connected with the gearbox 200, and heat exchange exists between the motor 400 and the gearbox 200 during high-speed operation. The motor 400 is cooled by air cooling, and the gearbox 200 is generally connected to the oil cooling system of the machine tool, which plays a role in lubrication and heat dissipation for the gearbox 200. The gearbox 200 is directly installed on the coupling plate 100, and the heat of the gearbox 200 is quickly transferred to the coupling plate 100 during high-speed operation. The cooling circulation pipeline 103 is arranged in the coupling plate 100, and the heat insulation member 700 is arranged between the coupling plate 100 and the spindle box 300.

When the machine tool is normally working, the cutting fluid flows in the cooling circulation pipeline 103 in the coupling plate 100, takes away the heat on the coupling plate 100, and directly reduces the temperature of the coupling plate 100, indirectly takes away the heat of the gearbox 200, improves the cooling capacity of the cooling system for the gearbox 200, and directly reduces the heat transfer between the coupling plate 100 and the heat insulation member 700. The temperature of the coupling plate 100 can better block the heat transfer to the spindle box 300. The spindle box heat insulation structure in the application is arranged between the coupling plate 100 and the spindle box 300, and the heat insulation member 700 is arranged between the coupling plate 100 and the spindle box 300, which effectively blocks the heat transfer between the coupling plate 100 and the spindle box 300.
