[0013] 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.

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of this utility model include:

[0015] A milling and turning hybrid electric spindle includes a spindle body 1, a spindle broach 2, a four-lobed jaw 4, a milling cutter flange 5, a turning tool flange 6, and a spacer 7. The spindle body 1 is composed of an outer shell 8 and a rotating shaft 9 coaxially connected by a heavy-duty bearing 10. The rotating shaft 9 is hollow and houses the spindle broach 2. The front end of the spindle broach 2 is equipped with a four-lobed jaw 4. The front end of the rotating shaft 9 is equipped with a milling cutter flange 5 surrounding the four-lobed jaw 4. The front end of the outer shell 8 is equipped with a turning tool flange 6 surrounding the milling cutter flange 5. A spacer 7 is provided between the turning tool flange 6 and the milling cutter flange 5.

[0016] The tool flange 6 is used to install the tool chuck, the tool chuck is used to engage the tool holder, the tool holder is used to install the tool head, the four-lobed claw 4 is used to connect the tool head, the four-lobed claw 4 is used to tighten the tool head, the four-lobed claw 4 is also used to lock the tool holder and the tool chuck together, and the four-lobed claw 4 is also used to stress-connect the tool flange 6 and the spacer ring 7.

[0017] Furthermore, the contact positions of the spacer ring 7 and the cutting tool flange 6 are provided with mutually engaging conical surfaces 11, which are used to transmit heavy load stress from the cutting tool.

[0018] Furthermore, a countersunk hole 12 is coaxially formed on the milling cutter flange 5, and a coaxial positioning cavity 13 is formed at the countersunk hole 12. The spindle broach 2 is connected to the countersunk hole 12, and the four-lobed claw 4 is placed in the coaxial positioning cavity 13. The coaxial positioning cavity 13 is used to position the milling cutter.

[0019] Furthermore, a motor stator 14 is provided on the inner wall of the outer casing 8, and a motor rotor 15 is provided on the rotating shaft 9 at the corresponding location of the motor stator 14.

[0020] Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer casing 8 is provided with a recessed groove 16, the motor stator 14 is placed in the recessed groove 16, the recessed groove 16 is filled with aluminum metal, the motor stator 14 is embedded in the aluminum metal, and the aluminum metal is used for motor rust prevention and motor heat conduction.

[0021] This product is a high-speed, high-stability machining center electric spindle. In addition to its excellent machining stability, the spindle broach 2 further adopts HSK broaches and, with the cooperation of the milling cutter flange 5 and the turning tool flange 6, simultaneously realizes the functions of a turning tool and a milling cutter.

[0022] The turning and milling functions can be switched as needed, allowing for quick and easy switching between turning tools and milling cutters, making it a dual-purpose machine.

[0023] When used for turning, a tool chuck, tool post, and four-lobed jaws 4 need to be installed on the tool flange 6 to secure the tool. Once the tool is secured, the spindle does not rotate, ensuring stable clamping of the tool head. Turning stress is transferred from the tool flange 6 to the housing 8 and spacer 7. The spacer 7 further transfers the stress to the cutter flange 5, which in turn transfers the stress to the spindle 9. In this way, the housing 8 and spindle 9 simultaneously absorb stress, effectively absorbing the heavy load stress on the tool.

[0024] The milling cutter operates by connecting to the four-lobed jaw 4, similar to a traditional spindle. This product further addresses the waterproofing issue crucial during milling by casting aluminum metal into the motor stator 14. Since water vapor is cold and the stator is hot, this prevents condensation at the stator 14, thus avoiding corrosion of the entire motor assembly. The cast aluminum metal also acts as a heat conductor, further enhancing heat dissipation.

[0025] In summary, this utility model provides a milling-turning hybrid electric spindle. By constructing a stress transmission structure through the turning tool flange 6 and the milling cutter flange 5, the spindle achieves a combined milling-turning function. At the same time, the addition of an aluminum metal casting layer structure solves the problem of moisture corrosion affecting the motor, which not only significantly enhances the functional characteristics but also greatly extends the service life.
