Description

[0028] In an embodiment, the motor 200 is connected with the screw rod 100 through a shaft coupling 230; a motor cooling sleeve 240 is arranged on the end face of the motor 200 close to the screw rod 100; a cooling liquid delivery channel 400 is formed between the outside of the motor cooling sleeve 240 and the inner wall of the motor base 210; by arranging the motor cooling sleeve 240, the size of the cooling liquid delivery channel 400 for cooling the motor 200 can be reasonably controlled, and the temperature of the cooling liquid can be prevented from rising too early when the screw rod 100 is not effectively cooled, so that the cooling of the screw rod 100 is preferentially ensured;

[0029] In an embodiment, the lead screw 100 is closed at both ends; the front end access hole 110 is arranged on the circumference of the lead screw 100; a plurality of front end access holes 110 are arranged on the circumference of the lead screw 100; by arranging a plurality of front end access holes 110 on the circumference of the lead screw 100, the flow speed of the cooling liquid can be accelerated by the centrifugal force when the lead screw 100 rotates, thereby improving the cooling effect; the front end access hole 110 is sleeved with a front end spacer sleeve 250; the front end spacer sleeve 250 is provided with front end oil seals 251 on both sides; the front end spacer sleeve 250 is provided with a through hole communicated with the cooling liquid interface 211; the cooling liquid interface 211 is connected with an output pipe 212; the front end spacer sleeve 250 cooperates with the front end access hole 110 to form a plurality of cooling liquid access channels, which facilitates the uniform outward diffusion of the cooling liquid, realizes sealing by the front end oil seals 251 on both sides, reasonably plans the size of the cooling liquid delivery channel 400, and reduces the cooling of unnecessary areas;

[0030] In an embodiment, the first bearing 220 is arranged in the bearing cooling sleeve 260; the bearing cooling sleeve 260 is formed with a cooling groove 261 outside; the cooling groove 261 and the inner wall of the motor base 210 form a cooling liquid delivery channel 400; in an embodiment, the cooling groove 261 can be arranged as an annular groove, so that the cooling liquid travels in a spiral form along the outside of the bearing cooling sleeve 260, increases the length of the cooling liquid channel, increases the contact time with the bearing cooling sleeve, and improves the cooling effect; when the cooling liquid travels in a spiral form along the outside of the bearing cooling sleeve 260, due to the unique annular groove design, the cooling liquid can continuously and relatively slowly flow around the bearing cooling sleeve 260. Compared with the traditional straight channel cooling method, this spiral flow greatly prolongs the contact time of the cooling liquid with the cooling sleeve. Taking a high-speed rotating industrial bearing as an example, its rotational speed can reach thousands of revolutions per minute or even higher during operation. If the heat generated cannot be dissipated in time, it will accumulate rapidly and cause the bearing to overheat and fail. The annular groove causes the cooling liquid to flow like a tightly wound "cooling ribbon", which surrounds the cooling sleeve in all directions and multiple levels, continuously conducts heat from the bearing, and ensures that the bearing is always in an appropriate working temperature range, effectively prolonging the service life of the bearing. The spiral cooling liquid flow channel of the annular groove also helps to achieve uniform distribution of the surface temperature of the bearing cooling sleeve 260. Since the cooling liquid flows uniformly and continuously along the annular path, there is no local cooling liquid flow speed that is too fast or too slow, so that each part of the cooling sleeve can be evenly cooled. While ensuring excellent cooling effect, the annular groove structure prolongs the effective utilization path of the cooling liquid, relatively reduces the need for a large amount of cooling liquid to flow in and out in a short time, and reduces the amount of cooling liquid used;
