Abstract

A high frequency vibration spindle system with non-contact power transmission and a method for manufacturing a restraining member used therein are disclosed. The high frequency vibration spindle system comprises: an electric power transmission device including a first induction module and a second induction module, wherein the second induction module is disposed at either a spindle or a toolholder and is adapted to receive an electric power from the first induction module in a non-contact electromagnetic induction manner; a transducer adapted to vibrate the tool and disposed at the toolholder and electrically connected with the second induction module to receive the electric power; and-a restraining member located between the first induction module and the second induction module. With the restraining member, the structural strength and stability of the second induction module can be improved, thereby increasing the maximum rotational speed of the high frequency vibration spindle system.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A high frequency vibration spindle system with non-contact power transmission, comprising:
a spindle;
a toolholder detachably mounted on the spindle and adapted to engage with a tool;
an electric power transmission device, including a first induction module and a second induction module spaced apart from each other with a gap, wherein the second induction module is disposed at the spindle or the toolholder, and the second induction module is adapted to receive an electric power from the first induction module in a non-contact electromagnetic induction manner;
a transducer, adapted to be controlled to vibrate the tool and being disposed at the toolholder and electrically connected with the second induction module to receive the electric power; and
a restraining member provided on the second induction module and located between the first induction module and the second induction module;
wherein the restraining member includes at least one layer of a sheet shaped carbon fiber material wound around an exterior circumference of the second induction module, and the thickness of the restraining member is between 0.25 mm and 1.5 mm.

2. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 1 , wherein the restraining member is made of a non-magnetic material.

3. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 1 , wherein the restraining member is made of a composite material.

4. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 3 , wherein the restraining member is made of carbon fibers.

5. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 1 , wherein the restraining member winds around an exterior circumference of the second induction module to provide a restraint force for counteracting a centrifugal force generated when the second induction module rotates.

6. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 1 , wherein the second induction module includes a ferrite core and a coil, the ferrite core is formed in a ring shape, the coil fits around an exterior circumference of the ferrite core, and the restraining member wraps around the ferrite core and the coil.

7. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 1 , wherein the restraining member further includes a composite material sleeved on the exterior of the carbon fiber material.

8. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 1 , wherein the restraining member includes a first composite material wound around an exterior circumference of the second induction module and a second composite material sleeved on the first composite material.

9. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 1 , wherein the second induction module includes a ferrite core and a coil, the ferrite core is formed in a ring shape and has two protrusions protruding radially outward and a recess between the two protrusions, the coil fits around the recess of the ferrite core, and the restraining member is at least located between one of the two protrusions and the first induction module.

10. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 9 , wherein the restraining member includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion is located between one of the two protrusions and the first induction module, and the second portion is located between the other of the two protrusions and the first induction module.

11. The high frequency vibration spindle system of claim 10 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are separately disposed on the two protrusions.

12. A method for manufacturing a restraining member used in a high frequency vibration spindle system, wherein the high frequency vibration spindle system includes a first induction module and a second induction module, the second induction module is adapted to receive an electric power from the first induction module in a non-contact electromagnetic induction manner, the second induction module includes a ferrite core and a coil, the restraining member wraps around the ferrite core, comprising the steps of:
A. winding a carbon fiber material pre-impregnated with a resin around the ferrite core with a predetermined restraint force; and
B. baking the ferrite core for a predetermined time to cure the resin on the carbon fiber material.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the ferrite core has two protrusions protruding radially outward and a recess between the two protrusions; the coil fits around the recess of the ferrite core; and in step A, the carbon fiber material is wound beyond the two protrusions.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein after the baking is completed, portions of the carbon fiber material beyond the two protrusions are removed so that the carbon fiber material is flush with the two protrusions.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising the following steps after step B:
C. after the baking, sleeving a sleeve made of a composite material on the ferrite core, wherein an inner surface of the sleeve wraps around the ferrite core and the carbon fiber material, and the sleeve is internally coated with an anaerobic adhesive; and
D. coating the ferrite core with a rust preventive oil to cure the anaerobic adhesive such that the composite material is fixed to the carbon fiber material and the ferrite core.

16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising disposing a composite material at the exterior of the ferrite core before step A, wherein in step A the carbon fiber material wraps around the composite material such that the composite material is located between the ferrite core and the carbon fiber material.
