Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a lubricating assembly of linear slide rail; in particular, it is a kind of innovative structure of assembled lubricating structure and lubricating module. BACKGROUND

[0002] Linear slide rail is a kind of linear motion guide structure widely used in various machine equipment, which includes a slide rail and a slide block. The slide rail passes through the slide block axially, and the slide block and the slide rail reciprocate linearly along the axial direction of the slide rail. The two sides of the slide rail form rolling grooves, and the interior of the slide block is provided with a plurality of rolling elements. Each rolling element rolls in each rolling groove relative to the slide rail, thereby improving the precision and smoothness of the relative motion of the slide block and the slide rail.

[0003] The slide rail and the rolling elements must be sufficiently lubricated to reduce the friction between the rolling elements and the slide rail, so that the linear slide rail runs smoothly and has a long service life. Therefore, a lubricating oil tank is provided at each end of the slide block along the running direction. The lubricating oil tank includes a main body, which is axially sleeved on the slide rail. The main body is mainly composed of a middle part and two side parts extending downward from both ends of the middle part, forming a box-shaped structure similar to a door frame. The shape of each side part facing the direction of the slide rail is matched with each rolling groove, and each side part forms a plurality of through holes corresponding to each rolling groove. The interior of the main body contains lubricating grease and a plurality of oil applying elements. Each oil applying element is arranged adjacent to each rolling groove, and each oil applying element extends in each through hole, so that each oil applying element applies lubricating grease to each rolling groove.

[0004] When the slide block and the slide rail are axially assembled, the lubricating oil tank is arranged on the slide block. The lubricating oil tank must be pivotally sleeved on the slide rail from one end of the slide rail and moved along the slide rail to the slide block. When the lubricating oil tank is detached from the slide block, it also needs to move along the slide rail to the one end of the slide rail until it is out of the range of the slide rail. Therefore, when the lubricating oil tank is maintained or replaced, the linear slide rail often needs to be detached or at least partially detached from the machine equipment provided by the linear slide rail, which causes inconvenience in maintaining or replacing the lubricating oil tank.
