Shaft sleeve, electric spindle and machine tool
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of machining, in particular to a shaft sleeve, an electric spindle and a machine tool.
Background
The electric spindle is a new technology for integrating the spindle of the machine tool with a spindle motor in the field of numerical control machine tools, and pushes high-speed machining to a new era along with a linear motor technology and a high-speed cutter technology. The electric spindle comprises the electric spindle and accessories thereof, and comprises the electric spindle, a high-frequency conversion device, an oil mist lubricator, a cooling device, a built-in encoder, a tool changing device and the like. The rotor of the motor is directly used as a main shaft of the machine tool, the shell of the main shaft unit is the motor base, and the motor and the main shaft of the machine tool are integrated by matching with other parts.
At present, with the rapid development and the gradual perfection of electric transmission technologies (variable frequency speed regulation technology, motor vector control technology and the like), the mechanical structure of a main transmission system of a high-speed numerical control machine tool is greatly simplified, and belt wheel transmission and gear transmission are basically canceled. The main shaft of the machine tool is directly driven by an internal motor, so that the length of a main transmission chain of the machine tool is shortened to zero, and zero transmission of the machine tool is realized. The transmission structure of the spindle motor and the machine tool spindle is that the spindle component is relatively independent from the transmission system and the whole structure of the machine tool, so the spindle motor can be made into a spindle unit commonly called an electric spindle.
The electric spindle consists of a shell-free motor, a spindle, a bearing, a spindle unit shell, a driving module, a cooling device and the like. The rotor of the motor is integrated with the main shaft by a press fit method, and the main shaft is supported by front and rear bearings. The stator of the motor is mounted in the housing of the spindle unit via a sleeve.
Because the electric spindle integrates the motor into the spindle unit, and the rotating speed is very high, a large amount of heat can be generated during operation, so that the temperature rise of the electric spindle is caused, the thermal state characteristic and the dynamic characteristic of the electric spindle are deteriorated, and the normal operation of the electric spindle is affected. Therefore, measures must be taken to control the temperature of the motorized spindle so that it is constant within a certain value. The machine tool generally adopts a circulating coolant cooling mode to cool the stator of the electric spindle, and takes away heat generated by high-speed rotation of the spindle.
The bearing structure layout of the existing machine tool spindle generally adopts a structure of front three and rear two, namely three front bearings and two rear bearings, and the front bearings and the rear bearings are angular contact ball bearings. But the rigidity of the bearing is reduced and the rigidity of the main shaft is reduced, thereby affecting the machining precision. In addition, due to the structure of the bearing, the cooling unit cannot cool the rear bearing, and the rear bearing has a certain temperature rise after long-term use, so that the normal operation of the electric spindle is affected.
