Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tools, and in particular to an electric spindle with built-in multi-stage cylinder booster for tool changing. Background Technology

[0002] An electric spindle is a new technology in the field of CNC machine tools that integrates the machine tool spindle and spindle motor into one unit. The spindle is a complete assembly, including the electric spindle itself and its accessories: the electric spindle, high-frequency inverter, oil mist lubricator, cooling system, built-in encoder, tool changer, etc. This transmission structure, where the spindle motor and machine tool spindle are integrated, makes the spindle component relatively independent from the machine tool's transmission system and overall structure. Therefore, it can be made into a spindle unit, commonly known as an electric spindle, characterized by high speed, high precision, and low noise.

[0003] A search of Chinese patents revealed publication number CN217315901U, which discloses a water-cooled automatic tool changer spindle. The spindle comprises a housing, a core, a rotor, a stator, and a tool changer assembly. The housing has shaft holes at both ends and cavities communicating with these holes for mounting the stator and rotor. The core passes through the shaft holes and is housed within the housing. A detachable tool changer assembly is located at the front end of the core. The core is connected to the housing via a front bearing and a rear bearing. The core is fixedly fitted inside the rotor, which is rotatably fitted inside the stator. The stator is fixed within the housing. The front bearing consists of a first bearing and a second bearing, with a first spacer between them. The first spacer has heat dissipation holes parallel to the core. This water-cooled automatic tool changer spindle effectively reduces heat dissipation during use by cooling the stator and bearings, thus increasing the spindle's lifespan.

[0004] Existing electric spindles cannot protect the bearings. When changing tools, the cylinder pulls the pallet, and excessive pulling force can affect the stability of the bearings, easily causing bearing damage and reducing their service life. To solve the above problems, we propose an electric spindle with built-in multi-stage cylinder booster for tool changing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electric spindle with built-in multi-stage cylinder booster for tool changing, which has the advantage of protecting the bearings.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the pull rod is pulled by the cylinder to fix the cutter with the puller. After the pull rod moves into place, the cutter plate will lock the pull rod and fix it. This method can achieve the purpose of protecting the bearing and improve the service life of the spindle. By setting up a multi-stage cylinder to fix the cutter, the pulling force of the cylinder is increased, which greatly improves the stability of the cutter. Compared with the traditional hydraulic tool changer, the speed is faster. The aluminum water jacket and cylinder are integrated into one design, making the size smaller.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a spring cover plate is installed on the surface of the aluminum water jacket, and the air pipe connector is located inside the spring cover plate.

An upper bearing seat 7 is installed on the surface of the aluminum water jacket 1. A mounting seat 8 is installed inside the upper bearing seat 7. An encoder 9 is installed on the surface of the mounting seat 8. A broach plate 10 is installed inside the mounting seat 8. A shaft 11 is installed on the surface of the encoder 9 and is rotatably sleeved with a housing 15. A pull rod 12 is installed inside the shaft 11, with one end of the pull rod 12 located inside the broach holder 6. A butterfly spring 13 is installed between the rod 12 and the shaft 11. A rotor 14 is installed on the surface of the shaft 11. A housing 15 is installed on the surface of the upper bearing seat 7. A stator 16 is installed inside the housing 15. A pull claw 17 is installed at one end of the pull rod 12, and the pull claw 17 is located inside the shaft 11. The pull rod 12 is pulled by the cylinder to fix the tool with the pull claw 17. After the pull rod 12 moves into place, the pull plate 10 will lock the pull rod 12. This fixing method can achieve the purpose of protecting the bearing and improve the service life of the shaft 11. By setting a multi-stage cylinder to fix the tool, the pulling force of the cylinder is increased, which greatly improves the stability of the tool. Compared with the traditional hydraulic tool change, the speed is faster. The aluminum water jacket 1 is integrated with the cylinder, making it smaller in size.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 A spring cover plate 18 is installed on the surface of the aluminum water jacket 1, and the air pipe connector 3 is located inside the spring cover plate 18. The cylinder is fixed by setting the spring cover plate 18.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 The surface of the aluminum water jacket 1 is equipped with multiple power connectors 19, which facilitates power connection.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 A sealing ring 20 is provided between the piston 4 and the cylinder 2. By providing the sealing ring 20, the sealing performance is improved and air leakage is prevented.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 A support plate 21 is installed on the surface of the upper bearing housing 7, and the shaft 11 is located inside the support plate 21. By setting the support plate 21, the shaft 11 is supported, thereby improving the stability of the shaft 11.

[0031] refer to Figure 2 A sliding sleeve 22 is installed between the disc springs 13 to ensure the stability of the disc springs 13.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fixing plate 24 is installed on the surface of the housing 15, which facilitates installation and fixation.

[0034] Brief description of the usage process: Connect the air supply pipe to the air pipe connector 3 to supply air. The piston 4 moves under the action of air pressure. The movement of the piston 4 will push the pull seat to move. The movement of the cutter holder 6 will cause the pull rod 12 to move. The movement of the pull rod 12 will drive the pull claw 17 to move, so that the pull claw 17 will loosen and clamp the cutter. During installation, the cutter is placed in the shaft 11. The piston 4 moves in the opposite direction to drive the pull rod 12 to fix the pull claw 17 to fix the cutter, thus completing the cutter change. When the pull rod 12 is tightened, the cutter plate 10 will lock the pull rod 12 to fix it and prevent damage to the bearing, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the shaft 11. By setting up a multi-stage cylinder to fix the cutter, the cylinder pulling force is increased, which greatly improves the stability of the cutter. Compared with the traditional hydraulic cutter change, the speed is faster. The aluminum water jacket 1 and the cylinder are integrated into one design, making the size smaller.
