Abstract

A nozzle body wherein replacement with cutting tool is easy and oscillation is small, and machine tool to which nozzle body can be attached, machine tool being equipped with turret having simple construction. Nozzle body includes: a body; a shank that is attached to a main spindle of machine tool: shaft body that is provided in a protruding manner on shank and rotatably supported by the body; annular path that is provided on outer circumference of shaft body; a discharge orifice that is provided at the leading end of shaft body; a first path that is provided inside shaft body and provides communication between discharge orifice and annular path; detent that is provided to the body; and a second path that is provided to the body and opens into the detent, the second path communicating with the annular path.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A machine tool comprising:
a nozzle body having:
a body;
a shank that is attached to a main spindle of a machine tool;
a shaft body base portion being provided inside the body, the shaft body protruding from the shank and rotatably supported by the body;
a cleaning nozzle arranged on the shaft body;
a fastening body configured to fasten the shaft body base portion and the cleaning nozzle;
a first annular path being provided on an outer circumference of the shaft body;
a discharge orifice being provided at a leading end on the opposite side of the cleaning nozzle from the shank;
a first path being provided inside the shaft body, the first path providing communication between the discharge orifice and the annular path;
a detent being provided to the body; and
a second path being provided to the body and opens into the detent, the second path configured to provide communication between the opening and the annular path;

a coolant source;
a turret that is supported rotatably about a rotational axis;
main spindles that are provided to the turret and has a main spindle hole to which the shank is attached;
positioning blocks that have: an insertion hole into which the detent is inserted; a first fluid outlet provided to the insertion hole; and a first fluid inlet communicating with the first fluid outlet, the positioning block being provided to the turret in such a manner that the insertion hole is adjacent to the main spindle hole;
a rotary joint that has:
a hollow rotor provided with second fluid outlets and fixed to the turret;

a stator provided with second fluid inlets and supported inside the rotor so as to be rotatable about the rotational axis;
second annular paths formed by a flow path groove arranged on the stator and a inner surface of the rotor;
third paths being provided inside the stator, the third paths providing communication between the second fluid inlets and the second annular paths; and
fourth paths being provided inside the rotor, the fourth paths providing communication between the second annular paths and the second fluid outlets;
first pipes that connect the second fluid inlets and the coolant source;
valves each being connected between the coolant source and the second fluid inlets; and
second pipes that connect each of the second fluid outlets and the first fluid inlet.

2. The nozzle body according to claim 1 , wherein the shank has a taper shank that fits in a main spindle hole of one of the main spindles and a flange portion that has a key groove, and
the shaft body has a key that causes the cleaning nozzle and the shaft body base portion to match in phase in a rotational direction.
