Traditional electric spindle heat dissipation structures mainly rely on forced air cooling or water cooling circulation systems, which still have technical limitations. Chinese patent document CN222472075U discloses an electric spindle structure for a grinding machine tool using an electric motor. Specifically, it discloses an electric spindle housing with a weight-reducing groove on its periphery. Heat dissipation fins are installed in the weight-reducing groove, and a condenser tube is wound around the weight-reducing groove in a ring. An upper shell is provided on the upper side of the electric spindle housing, and an exhaust fan is installed at the upper end of the upper shell. A lower shell is provided on the lower side of the electric spindle housing, and an air inlet is provided at the bottom of the lower shell. A cooling circulation device is provided in front of the electric spindle housing. Although this structure improves the cooling efficiency of the cooling device, it does not consider the optimization of the heat conduction path, and the thermal resistance from the electric spindle housing to the heat dissipation components is still relatively high.
