Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spindles, and more particularly to a spindle for an external cylindrical grinding machine. Background Technology
[0002] During the rotation of the grinding wheel, the spindle of an external cylindrical grinding machine generates a large amount of water vapor. This water vapor can easily seep into the spindle, causing internal corrosion and affecting its lifespan and machining accuracy. Existing technologies usually use a bent joint structure to achieve a water-blocking effect. However, the water film accumulated in the gap will continue to cause seepage under the centrifugal force during high-speed operation, resulting in poor waterproof performance and a short spindle lifespan.

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0017] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the embodiments of this utility model include:
[0018] A cylindrical grinding machine spindle includes a spindle body 1, a housing 2, an inner cover 3, an outer cover 4, an air curtain hole 5, and a drain hole 6. The spindle body 1 is coaxially mounted inside the housing 2. The housing 2 is covered by the inner cover 3 at both ends. The outer cover 4 is stacked on the outer side of the inner cover 3. A first water-blocking ring 7 is provided on the spindle body 1. The inner cover 3 is provided with an integrally formed second water-blocking ring 8. The second water-blocking ring 8 is installed on the inner wall of the port of the housing 2. The first water-blocking ring 7 and the second water-blocking ring 8 cooperate with each other to form a tortuous water-blocking joint 9. The inner cover 3 is provided with an air curtain hole 5 at the outer end of the water-blocking joint 9. The outer cover 4 is fitted on the outer circumferential surface of the spindle body 1 to form a water inlet joint 10. The outer cover 4 has a drain hole 6 at the water inlet joint 10. The air curtain hole 5 communicates with the drain hole 6.
[0019] The shaft 1 has a tapered loading interface 11 at its front end for mounting a grinding wheel, and a drive pulley 12 at its rear end.
[0020] Furthermore, four heavy-duty bearings 13 are provided at each end of the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the shaft 1 is loaded inside the heavy-duty bearings 13.
[0021] Furthermore, the first water-blocking ring 7 is coaxially mounted on the shaft body 1 by embedding a first sealing ring 14, and the second water-blocking ring 8 is coaxially mounted inside the outer casing 2 by embedding a second sealing ring 15.
[0022] Furthermore, the outer cover 4 has a water storage tank 16 on the mating surface with the shaft 1, and the drain hole 6 is opened in the water storage tank 16.
[0023] Furthermore, the distance between the drain hole 6 and the air curtain hole 5 is in the range of 90°~180° or 120°±15%.
[0024] Furthermore, the inner cover 3 has an air seal groove 17 that communicates with the air curtain hole 5, and the first water baffle ring 7 has an outwardly inclined guide angle 18, which is directly opposite the air seal groove 17, and a flow guide groove is formed on the surface of the guide angle 18.
[0025] This product is a high-precision, high-rigidity cylindrical grinding machine spindle, whose main features are excellent water-proof protection and rapid drainage performance.
[0026] Its outer cover 4 is mainly used for protection. It fits on the shaft 1 and has a very small gap reserved to initially block the entry of water. The inner cover 3 provides further water-proof sealing, constructs an air curtain to block water ingress, and accelerates the directional discharge of internal water vapor through compressed air in the air seal channel. Combined with the guide angle 18 and / or the guide groove, the water vapor is drawn out more quickly.
[0027] This product is driven by a synchronous belt pulley set. The shaft 1 is supported by eight heavy-duty bearings 13, which provides high rigidity for the stable operation of the grinding wheel, thereby improving the texture roughness / surface smoothness and making the mirror effect better.
[0028] As the grinding wheel rotates, the water vapor surrounding it is first intercepted in the water tank 16 and discharged through the drain hole 6. When the water vapor further penetrates to the air seal groove 17, it is blown out by compressed air. The blown-out water vapor accumulates in the water tank 16 until it is discharged through the drain hole 6. A very small amount of water vapor further penetrates into the water-blocking joint 9, which is a bend in the seam similar to a zigzag bridge structure. The water vapor accumulates and condenses within the joint and is trapped at the bend, preventing further penetration.
[0029] In summary, this utility model provides a cylindrical grinding machine spindle that forms a rapid drainage channel through the air curtain hole 5 and the drainage hole 6, and achieves directional drainage control by using the air seal groove 17 and the guide angle 18. At the same time, the bearing distribution structure is optimized for the grinding wheel load, thereby significantly improving the overall waterproof sealing performance and operational stability of the spindle.
[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
