Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC milling and turning technology, specifically to a power turret cooling structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the bevel gearbox transmission components of tool turrets on the market use grease lubrication. Maintenance requires adding grease and lubricating the gears and bearings, which does not provide adequate heat dissipation. Since the bevel gearbox is surrounded by the tool disc, the generated heat is absorbed by the tool disc, easily causing metal expansion. This can fatally impact the stability of precision machining on machine tools. Furthermore, maintaining the bevel gearbox transmission requires disassembling components for lubrication, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.
[0003] Therefore, a power turret cooling structure is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a power turret cooling structure. This invention connects to the air blowing pipe on the machine tool via an external air inlet pipe, and the inlet end of an external oil inlet pipe is connected to an oil pump. The oil pump pumps cooling oil into the bevel gear transmission chamber through the oil inlet pipe, thus ensuring thorough mixing of gas and oil within the bevel gear transmission chamber. This mixed oil and gas not only provides more uniform and sufficient lubrication and cooling to the transmission gears, but also effectively dissipates the frictional heat of the mechanical transmission to the outside of the turret components through the exhaust pipe, effectively controlling metal deformation caused by overall turret temperature rise. It avoids the problem of metal expansion of the cutter head due to high temperatures, a problem inherent in traditional methods. This invention uses oil-gas lubrication, requiring no maintenance. Only a normal supply of oil and gas at the inlet is needed; maintenance is simple, operation is convenient and quick, and maintenance efficiency is high. This invention is highly practical.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] A power turret cooling structure includes a turret body, and an air inlet pipe and an oil inlet pipe that penetrate the turret body. The air inlet pipe and the oil inlet pipe both penetrate the turret body and extend into the bevel gear transmission chamber.
[0007] An exhaust pipe is provided in the middle of the bevel gear transmission chamber, and the air inlet pipe and oil inlet pipe are respectively located on both sides of the exhaust pipe in the bevel gear transmission chamber.
[0008] The exhaust pipe abuts against the coupling chamber within the turret body. An external exhaust pipe extends through the coupling chamber and out of the turret body's shell. The exhaust pipe inside the turret body communicates with this external exhaust pipe. The output end of the external exhaust pipe is connected to a waste oil and gas receiving and processing device. This device effectively treats the discharged exhaust gas, preventing it from being sprayed into the workshop and causing environmental pollution.
[0009] An external air intake pipe is connected to the outer shell of the turret body, and an external oil intake pipe is connected to the outer shell of the turret body. The external air intake pipe is connected to the air blowing pipe on the machine tool, and an oil pump is connected to the inlet end of the external oil intake pipe. The oil pump pumps the cooling oil through the oil intake pipe into the bevel gear transmission chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, a rotary motor is connected to the coupling inside the coupling chamber.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. In this invention, the oil and gas are transported to the transmission components through a predetermined pipeline, providing sufficient lubrication and cooling. Finally, the oil and gas will be discharged from the exhaust port through a pre-set pipeline. The main body has an output interface connected to the exhaust pipe, ensuring continuous input of oil and gas. The exhaust pipe continuously outputs waste gas, completing the discharge of oil and gas carrying heat. This achieves lubrication, cooling, and heat dissipation outside the turret, solving the problems of lubrication, cooling, and suppressing metal heating, expansion, and deformation.
[0013] 2. The main focus of this invention is to solve the problem of metal expansion caused by heat generation in the turret during transmission. This results in improved stability and precision in the processing equipment.
[0014] 3. This utility model uses oil-air lubrication, requiring no maintenance. Only a normal supply of oil and air at the inlet is needed. Maintenance is simple, operation is convenient and quick, maintenance efficiency is high, and this utility model is highly practical. Attached Figure Description
