Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milling head heat dissipation technology, and more specifically to a direct-drive CNC milling head heat dissipation device. Background Technology
[0002] As a core piece of equipment in modern manufacturing, CNC milling machines directly determine product quality and production costs through their machining accuracy and efficiency. Among them, the milling head, as a key functional component of CNC milling machines, is of paramount importance in terms of performance stability. In recent years, direct drive technology has been widely used in high-precision, high-speed CNC milling heads because it eliminates intermediate transmission links such as gears and belts, and has significant advantages such as compact structure, high transmission efficiency, fast dynamic response, and low noise.
[0003] However, during operation, especially during heavy cutting and long-term machining, the spindle and the drive unit directly connected to it will generate a lot of heat due to high-speed friction and electromagnetic loss. If this heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, it will cause the internal temperature of the milling head to rise sharply, causing serious thermal deformation problems. The thermal elongation of the spindle and the thermal deformation of the housing will be directly transferred to the workpiece, resulting in out-of-tolerance machining dimensions and deterioration of surface quality, which seriously restricts the machining accuracy and reliability of the machine tool.
[0004] A search revealed Chinese patent CN215748141U, which discloses a milling head mechanism for high-efficiency heat dissipation. This device makes full use of the idle space in the housings of the main bevel gear set and the auxiliary bevel gear set. The meshing transmission of the bevel gear set directly drives the main fan and the auxiliary fan to rotate while transmitting power, without the need for an additional drive source. The structure is simple and low-cost, and easy to maintain. However, in order to ensure the lubrication of the gears and other transmission components during operation, lubricating oil needs to be added inside the milling head. During high-speed rotation, the lubricating oil is heated, splashes, and evaporates, forming oil mist. This oil mist will adhere to the inside of the housing, the heat dissipation surface, and even the electrical components, forming sludge, which greatly reduces the heat dissipation efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a direct-drive CNC milling head heat dissipation device to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a flow fan is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the main shaft and located between the bevel gear and the end cover, for guiding the air inside the housing to the outside.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. This utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides a direct-drive CNC milling head heat dissipation device, including a housing 1. A spindle 3 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the housing 1 by bolts. A bevel gear 4 is fixedly connected to the spindle 3 by bolts. A main drive component 2 is provided on one outer wall of the housing 1 to rotate the bevel gear 4. An air inlet connector 13 is threaded through and connected to the outer wall of the housing 1 on the side opposite to the main drive component 2. The air inlet connector 13 is connected to an external air inlet pipe, and the other end of the air inlet connector 13 is connected to the inside of the housing 1. An end cover 6 is provided at the end of the housing 1. The inner wall of the housing 1 has a cylindrical cavity structure. Multiple arc-shaped baffles 5 are fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the housing 1 between the bevel gear 4 and the end cover 6 by bolts. The surface of the baffles 5 is coated with an oleophobic layer 12.
[0024] Through the air inlet connector 13 connected to the external air inlet pipe, a forced air cooling circulation is constructed to efficiently remove the heat from key heat sources such as the spindle 3 and bevel gear 4. At the same time, the unique arc-shaped baffle 5 group can effectively capture and aggregate oil mist particles in the air through the labyrinth-like channel design that guides the airflow. This achieves integrated treatment of heat dissipation and oil mist separation, solving the problem of oil stains adhering and accumulating inside the housing 1 and on the surface of parts, thereby affecting heat dissipation efficiency and causing thermal deformation. This ensures the long-term operational stability and machining accuracy of the milling head under high-speed and heavy-load conditions.
[0025] When the device is started, the main drive 2 drives the main shaft 3 and the bevel gear 4 and the exhaust fan 8 fixed on it to rotate together. The vortex blade design of the exhaust fan 8 can efficiently drive the airflow. Outside air is sent into the cylindrical cavity inside the housing 1 through the air inlet pipe and air inlet connector 13. The air flows through the heat source areas such as the high-speed rotating bevel gear 4 and the main shaft 3, absorbing and carrying away a large amount of heat generated by the friction and operation of the parts. The airflow carrying heat continues to flow to the end of the device under the drive of the exhaust fan 8.
[0026] When the hot airflow passes through the baffle 5 region, its flow process changes. Multiple baffles 5 distributed in an arc shape form an efficient labyrinthine separation channel. Under the action of inertia, the suspended oil mist particles in the airflow collide with the arc surface of the baffle 5 multiple times. Since the surface of the baffle 5 is coated with an oleophobic layer 12, the oil mist particles are difficult to adhere and remain, and are more likely to agglomerate and gather into larger oil droplets.
[0027] Furthermore, an exhaust plate 7 is bolted to one end of the end cover 6.
[0028] In this invention, multiple return grooves 10 are formed on the inner circumference of the housing 1 and between the bevel gear 4 and the baffle plate 5.
[0029] Furthermore, multiple baffles 5 have flow guide grooves 11 on their surfaces to guide the oil adhering to the baffles 5 to the return groove 10 on the inner wall of the housing 1. The flow guide grooves 11 are distributed in an inclined manner, and the bottom end of the flow guide grooves 11 is connected to the return groove 10.
[0030] Furthermore, an annular groove 9 is provided on the inner circumference of the housing 1 at the position of the bevel gear 4, and the edge of the bevel gear 4 extends into the annular groove 9. The other end of the multiple return grooves 10 is connected to the annular groove 9.
[0031] Through the closed lubricating oil recovery mechanism composed of the guide channel 11, the return channel 10 and the annular groove 9, the separated lubricating oil is collected in the return channel 10 through the inclined guide channel 11 and finally flows back into the annular groove 9, realizing the self-circulation of lubricating oil, greatly reducing the consumption and splashing leakage of lubricating oil, which not only reduces the user's daily maintenance costs and oil replenishment frequency, but also helps to keep the internal environment of the machine tool clean.
[0032] Oil droplets that impact and condense on the surface of the baffle plate 5 flow downwards under the action of gravity. They flow directionally along the inclined guide grooves 11 opened on the surface of the baffle plate 5. The guide grooves 11 accurately guide the collected lubricating oil to the return grooves 10 on the inner wall of the housing 1. Multiple return grooves 10 form a recycling network, which transports the collected lubricating oil back to the annular groove 9 located in the area of the bevel gear 4. Since the edge of the bevel gear 4 extends into this groove, it can carry the oil up when rotating and splash it back onto the gear meshing surface, thereby realizing the automatic circulation, recycling and reuse of lubricating oil.
[0033] In this utility model, a flow fan 8 is bolted to the outer circumference of the main shaft 3 and located between the bevel gear 4 and the end cover 6. The flow fan 8 is used to reverse the air in the housing 1 to the outside. The blades of the flow fan 8 are vortex blades.
[0034] The spindle 3 uses its own rotational power to drive the exhaust fan 8 and lubricant recovery, making the entire heat dissipation structure very compact. There is no need to change the overall size of the original milling head. The arc-shaped baffle 5 together form a low flow resistance and high air exchange efficiency air duct, achieving the best heat dissipation and separation effect with minimal energy consumption.
[0035] After being purified by the baffle plate 5, the cleaned hot air is finally discharged from the housing 1 through the perforated plate 7 under the drive of the exhaust fan 8.
[0036] The use of this utility model involves the following steps:
[0037] S1: When the device is started, the main drive 2 drives the main shaft 3 and the bevel gear 4 and the exhaust fan 8 fixed on it to rotate together. The vortex blade design of the exhaust fan 8 can efficiently drive the airflow. The outside air is sent into the cylindrical cavity inside the housing 1 through the air inlet pipe and the air inlet connector 13. The air flows through the heat source areas such as the high-speed rotating bevel gear 4 and the main shaft 3, absorbing and carrying away a large amount of heat generated by the friction and operation of the parts. The airflow carrying the heat continues to flow to the end of the device under the drive of the exhaust fan 8.
[0038] S2: When the hot airflow passes through the baffle 5 area, the process changes. Multiple baffles 5 distributed in an arc shape form an efficient labyrinth-like separation channel. Under the action of inertia, the suspended oil mist particles in the airflow collide with the arc surface of the baffle 5 multiple times. Since the surface of the baffle 5 is coated with an oleophobic layer 12, the oil mist particles are difficult to adhere and remain, and are more likely to agglomerate and gather into larger oil droplets.
[0039] S3: The oil droplets that impact and condense on the surface of the baffle plate 5 flow downward under the action of gravity. They will flow in a direction along the inclined guide groove 11 opened on the surface of the baffle plate 5. The guide groove 11 accurately guides the collected lubricating oil to the return groove 10 on the inner wall of the housing 1. Multiple return grooves 10 form a recycling network, which transports the collected lubricating oil back to the annular groove 9 located in the area of the bevel gear 4. Since the edge of the bevel gear 4 extends into this groove, it can carry the oil up when rotating and splash it back to the gear meshing surface, thereby realizing the automatic circulation, recycling and reuse of lubricating oil.
[0040] S4: After being purified by the baffle plate 5, the cleaned hot air is finally discharged from the housing 1 through the perforated plate 7 under the drive of the exhaust fan 8.
