The invention relates to an oil-
gas lubrication system for a high speed main shaft in a large scale horizontal
machining center. The oil-
gas lubrication is adopted for the high speed main shaft with the
diameter of large than 160 mm, and an external gas source and an external
oil tank are arranged. The oil-
gas lubrication system is characterized in that the
system is composed of an oil-gas generating device and an oil-gas delivery mechanism, wherein, the
lubrication circulation and the operation of an oil-filling pump are controlled through the program of an
electric control unit inside the oil-gas generating device, the
electric control unit is connected with the
control system of a
machining center through a connecting terminal, and the output of a
control signal and the
remote control of the oil-gas
lubrication are realized; the gas source pipeline of the oil-gas generating device and the
oil tank are respectively provided with an
inductor and a pressure valve, and the pump is communicated with an oil-
gas mixing and distribution unit inside the oil-gas generating device; a plurality of delivery pipelines of the oil-
gas mixing and distribution unit are respectively connected with an oil-gas connector arranged at the bottom of a main shaft box, the oil-gas connector is communicated with an oil-gas channel on the bearing sleeve of the main shaft and the oil-gas channel on an annular outer sleeve
gasket, and an oil-gas circulation delivery channel from entering the main shaft to being discharged out of the main shaft is formed. The
friction coefficient between the inner / outer sleeve
gasket and balls of the bearing system can be as low as 0.001 or even lower, simultaneously, the bearing of the main shaft is ensured to run in the required temperature range, the self control design can also ensure that once the running of the
lubrication system is abnormal, the automatic shutdown of the
machine tool can be implemented.
