Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical processing technology, and in particular relates to the water cooling mechanism of a worm gear milling machine. Background Technology
[0002] When machining worm gears on a cyclone milling machine, the high-speed cutting between the tool and the workpiece generates a large amount of heat. If the tool is milling the worm gear at a speed of 300-1000 rpm, the temperature in the cutting area will rise sharply. If it is not cooled in time, the tool hardness will decrease, wear will be accelerated, and the machining accuracy and tool life will be affected.
[0003] Worm gears are typically high-precision components used in precision transmission. The heat transferred from cutting to the workpiece causes thermal deformation, leading to deviations in dimensional accuracy and form and position tolerances. This affects the meshing accuracy of the worm and worm wheel, reducing transmission efficiency and stability. In modern production, whirl milling machines are often integrated into production lines with other equipment. Poor heat dissipation can impact the performance and lifespan of surrounding equipment. Water cooling systems help maintain the stable operation of the entire production system; however, existing water cooling systems cannot ensure smooth water flow and cannot adjust the water flow rate according to processing requirements.
