Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool technology, specifically to a high-rigidity CNC machine tool spindle. Background Technology
[0002] The spindle, as a crucial functional component of CNC machine tools, plays a key role in parts machining. High-rigidity spindles, representing high-speed, high-performance spindles, have become a critical configuration for high-end CNC machine tools. However, the current high-rigidity spindle market in my country is still dominated by imported products, with relatively insufficient domestic production capacity. Existing high-rigidity spindles, designed to meet structural rigidity requirements, often simplify the bearing cooling structure. However, the high-speed rotating motor generates a large amount of heat, leading to high temperature rise in the spindle and bearings, reduced service life, and impacting spindle rigidity and operational stability, ultimately affecting parts machining efficiency. These problems urgently need to be addressed through technological innovation and structural optimization. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a high-rigidity CNC machine tool spindle that can maintain high rigidity and stability under complex working conditions, ensure the machining accuracy and efficiency of parts, and improve the service life of the spindle and front bearing.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a high-rigidity CNC machine tool spindle, including a spindle, a spindle box, a front bearing, a rear bearing, a front bearing housing, a rear bearing housing, a motor, and a tool-clamping cylinder unit. The front bearing and the rear bearing are respectively interference-fitted and installed on the front and rear sections of the spindle. The front bearing housing and the rear bearing housing are respectively installed on the outer sides of the front and rear bearings. The motor includes a stator, a rotor, and a stator sleeve. The rotor is interference-fitted and connected to the outer side of the middle section of the spindle. The stator sleeve is interference-fitted and connected to the outer side of the stator. The tool-clamping cylinder unit is located on the rear side of the spindle and is used to realize the tool clamping and releasing function of the spindle. The front bearing housing is centered and connected to the front end of the spindle box by screws. A radial convex ring is integrally provided on the rear end of the stator sleeve. The radial convex ring is centered and connected to the rear end of the spindle box by screws. The rear bearing housing... The radial convex ring is centered and connected to the rear end of the front bearing by screws. A cooling structure is provided on the outer side of the front bearing. The cooling structure includes a heat insulation ring and a circulating cooling circuit. The heat insulation ring is centered and connected to the rear side of the front bearing housing by screws. The heat insulation ring is located between the rear side of the front bearing and the front side of the stator. The circulating cooling circuit includes a first through hole, a first cooling ring groove, a second through hole, several second cooling ring grooves, and a third through hole that are connected in sequence. The first cooling ring groove is formed on the outer wall of the heat insulation ring. The first through hole, the second through hole, several second cooling ring grooves, and the third through hole are respectively located in the front bearing housing. The several second cooling ring grooves are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the front bearing housing and are connected in sequence. A water inlet hole and a water outlet hole are provided in the spindle box. The water inlet hole is connected to the external cooling water supply mechanism and the first through hole, respectively. The water outlet hole is connected to the third through hole.
[0005] This invention integrates the front bearing housing, rear bearing housing, stator sleeve, and spindle box into one unit, achieving an integrated design of the spindle and spindle box. This significantly improves the rigidity of the spindle. Combined with a specific cooling structure, it can effectively absorb the heat from the front bearing and spindle, control the temperature rise of the front bearing and spindle, and enable the spindle to maintain high rigidity and stability under complex working conditions. This ensures the machining accuracy and efficiency of parts and improves the service life of the spindle and front bearing.
[0006] During spindle operation, the motor generates a significant amount of heat. Cooling water from the external cooling water supply system enters the first through-hole through the inlet, then the first cooling ring groove, and subsequently passes through the second through-hole into several second cooling ring grooves. Finally, it exits through the third through-hole into the outlet for recycling. The heat insulation ring effectively blocks and absorbs the heat generated by the stator during spindle operation, greatly alleviating the temperature rise problem of the spindle bearings and ensuring adequate cooling for the front bearing and spindle. Furthermore, the design of the first through-hole, first cooling ring groove, second through-hole, several second cooling ring grooves, and third through-hole, combined with the inlet and outlet holes, saves space while improving cooling efficiency, ensuring high-efficiency spindle operation.
[0007] Preferably, the front bearing comprises two double-row cylindrical roller bearings and one thrust angular contact ball bearing. One of the double-row cylindrical roller bearings and the thrust angular contact ball bearing are clearance-fitted and positioned inside the front section of the front bearing housing, while the other double-row cylindrical roller bearing is clearance-fitted and positioned inside the rear section of the front bearing housing. This combination of front bearings further enhances the rigidity of the spindle, ensuring that the spindle maintains high rigidity even under high-speed operating conditions, effectively suppressing vibrations generated during high-speed spindle operation, and making the spindle's working state more stable during high-speed operation.
[0008] Preferably, the plurality of second cooling ring grooves are formed on the outer surface of the front bearing housing, and the radially outer sides of the plurality of second cooling ring grooves are sealed by water jackets. Adjacent second cooling ring grooves are connected by axial flow channels. This design of the plurality of second cooling ring grooves improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling structure and further enhances the cooling effect on the front bearing.
[0009] Preferably, a cooling sleeve is provided on the inner side of the rear bearing housing for centering and positioning. The cooling sleeve is located near the front side of the rear bearing and is connected to an external cooling water supply mechanism. The function of the cooling sleeve is to cool the rear bearing, further control the temperature rise of the spindle, and thus achieve higher spindle rigidity.
[0010] Preferably, the upper side wall of the spindle box is provided with several functional interface outlets. Concentrating the outlets of the functional interfaces on the upper side wall of the spindle box facilitates wiring during the installation and assembly of the spindle and its supporting components, improves wiring efficiency, and facilitates subsequent maintenance.
[0011] Preferably, the gap between the heat insulation ring and the stator is 0.8–1.5 mm. This small gap of 0.8–1.5 mm ensures effective heat insulation and cooling, promptly removes heat, and maintains the compactness of the overall spindle structure.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention integrates the front bearing housing, the rear bearing housing, the stator sleeve and the spindle box into one unit, realizing the integrated design of the spindle and the spindle box, which greatly improves the rigidity of the spindle. At the same time, combined with a specific cooling structure, it can effectively absorb the heat of the front bearing and the spindle, control the temperature rise of the front bearing and the spindle, so that the spindle can maintain high rigidity and stability under complex working conditions, ensure the machining accuracy and efficiency of parts, and improve the service life of the spindle and the front bearing.
