An oil distribution block fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spindle housing, and an oil distribution block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the oil distribution block fixing bracket. An oil distribution block has an oil inlet on one side, and a regulating valve is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the oil distribution block. A flow meter is fixedly connected to the top of the regulating valve. A spindle is mounted on the lower surface of the spindle housing, and a spindle oil inlet is mounted on the outer surface of the spindle. A spindle oil outlet is mounted on the front of the spindle housing.

[0007] In order to achieve the effect of fixing the oil inlet and outlet, as a vertical machining center dual-circulation spindle cooling oil circuit structure of this utility model, a spindle housing is movably connected to one side of the column, and a gearbox is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spindle housing.

[0008] In order to achieve the effect of dividing the oil circuit into two, as a vertical machining center dual-circulation spindle cooling oil circuit structure of this utility model, the upper surface of the oil distribution block is provided with a first oil outlet and the upper surface of the oil distribution block is provided with a second oil outlet.

[0009] In order to achieve the effect of connecting the oil inlet of the gearbox, as a vertical machining center dual-circulation spindle cooling oil circuit structure of this utility model, one end of the oil cooler outlet pipe is connected to the right end of the pressure filter through a pipe, the left end of the pressure filter is connected to the oil inlet of the oil distribution block through a pipe, and the top of the flow meter is connected to the gearbox oil inlet connector through a pipe.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a dual-circulation spindle cooling oil circuit structure for a vertical machining center includes a column 1, a spindle housing 2, and a gearbox housing 3. A pressure filter 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the column 1. A gearbox oil inlet connector 10 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the gearbox housing 3, and a gearbox oil outlet connector 11 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the gearbox housing 3. An oil distribution block fixing bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spindle housing 2, and an oil distribution block 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the oil distribution block fixing bracket 12. An oil inlet 18 is provided on one side of the oil distribution block 13, and a regulating valve 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the oil distribution block 13. A flow meter 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the regulating valve 14. A spindle is provided on the lower surface of the spindle housing 2, and a spindle oil inlet 16 is provided on the outer surface of the spindle. A spindle oil outlet 17 is provided on the front of the spindle housing 2.

[0027] In practical use, the oil cooler is fixed to the ground with the following components: pressure filter 7, gearbox oil inlet connector 10, gearbox oil outlet connector 11, oil distributor 13, regulating valve 14, flow meter 15, spindle oil inlet interface 16, spindle oil outlet interface 17, oil inlet 18, first oil outlet 19, and second oil outlet 20. The oil cooler's oil outlet is connected to the right end of the pressure filter 7, and the left end of the pressure filter 7 is connected to the oil distributor 13. The function of the oil distributor 13 is to divide one oil inlet into two oil outlets. The first oil outlet 19 of the oil distributor 13 is fixedly connected to the flow meter 15 and the regulating valve 14. The oil in this oil path flows from the first outlet... Oil enters the flow meter 15 and flow regulating valve 14 through the oil port 19, and then connects to the gearbox oil inlet connector 10 through the pipeline, entering the gearbox body 3 to provide cooling oil lubrication for the gearbox. Another oil path connects to the spindle oil inlet connector 16 through the pipeline from the second oil outlet 20, entering the spindle housing 2 to cool the spindle. Oil from the gearbox body 3 exits through the gearbox oil outlet connector 11 and returns to the oil cooler suction port through the pipeline. After the spindle is used, the cooling oil returns to the oil cooler return port through the pipeline from the spindle oil outlet connector 17. In this way, the two oil paths complete the circulation, achieving both spindle oil cooling and gearbox lubrication, and reducing the cost of oil path cooling.

[0028] In this embodiment, a spindle housing 2 is movably connected to one side of the column 1, and a gearbox 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spindle housing 2.

[0029] In practical use, the oil inlet and outlet connectors are fixed by setting up the gearbox 3 and the spindle box 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the oil distribution block 13 is provided with a first oil outlet 19 and the upper surface of the oil distribution block 13 is provided with a second oil outlet 20.

[0031] In practical use, the oil circuit is divided into two by setting the oil distribution block 13.

[0032] In this embodiment, one end of the oil cooler outlet pipe is connected to the right end of the pressure filter 7 via a pipe, the left end of the pressure filter 7 is connected to the oil inlet 18 of the oil separator 13 via a pipe, and the top of the flow meter 15 is connected to the gearbox oil inlet connector 10 via a pipe.

[0033] In practical use, the gearbox oil inlet circuit is connected by setting the oil distribution block 13 and the gearbox oil inlet connector 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, one end of the gearbox oil outlet connector 11 is connected to the oil inlet of the oil cooler via a pipe, and one end of the spindle oil outlet port 17 is connected to the oil return port of the oil cooler via a pipe.

[0035] In practical use, the connection between the oil cooler's suction port and return port facilitates the return of oil from both circuits.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second oil outlet 20 of the oil distribution block 13 and the main shaft oil inlet 16 are connected by a pipe.

[0037] In practical use, the oil distribution block 13 and the spindle oil inlet interface 16 are used to connect the oil inlet circuit of the spindle box.

[0038] Working principle: The oil outlet of the oil cooler is connected to the right end of the pressure filter 7, and the left end of the pressure filter 7 is connected to the oil distributor 13. The function of the oil distributor 13 is to divide one oil inlet into two oil outlets. The first oil outlet 19 of the oil distributor 13 is fixedly connected to the flow meter 15 and the regulating valve 14. The oil in this oil path enters the flow meter 15 and the flow regulating valve 14 from the first oil outlet 19, and then enters the gearbox inlet connector 10 through the pipeline, providing cooling oil lubrication for the gearbox. The other oil path connects to the spindle inlet interface 16 through the pipeline from the second oil outlet 20, and enters the spindle housing 2 to cool the spindle. The oil in the gearbox housing 3 exits from the gearbox outlet connector 11 and returns to the oil cooler suction port through the pipeline. After the spindle is used, the cooling oil returns from the spindle outlet interface 17 through the pipeline to the oil cooler return port. In this way, the two oil paths complete the circulation.
