Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a three-section slide rail device, belonging to the technical field of ball-type heavy-duty slide rails. Background Art

[0002] Three-section slides are commonly used in pull-out equipment and consist of an inner rail (movable rail), a middle rail, and an outer rail (fixed rail). Compared to two-section slides, three-section slides have the advantage of a longer travel. For example, Chinese patent document CN216554967U discloses a heavy-duty aluminum alloy three-section slide. Existing three-section slides, due to the built-in ball bearings, inevitably carry the risk of ball bearings falling off or breaking, especially in the vibration environment of a vehicle, which can easily damage the ball bearings and render the slide unusable. In outdoor environments, humid and dusty conditions accelerate ball bearing aging and wear, resulting in reduced slide performance and a lifespan that is easily affected by the environment. Reliability is low, and the complex, multi-gap structure is susceptible to contamination from outdoor dust, especially mud and sand, which can cause slide failure and inconvenience in maintenance.

[0031] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1-3As shown, a three-section slide rail device of the present invention includes an upper rail 1, a middle seat 2, and a lower rail 3. The upper and lower surfaces of the middle seat 2 are both provided with a slide groove 21 with a trapezoidal cross-section. The bottom width of the slide groove 21 is greater than the width of the slot opening. The upper rail 1 and the lower rail 3 are respectively provided with a slide rail portion 10 that cooperates with the slide groove 21. The cross-section of the slide rail portion 10 is also trapezoidal. When the slide rail portion 10 is inserted into the slide groove 21, it can move linearly along the direction of the slide groove 21 and is restricted by the trapezoidal structure and will not fall out. A slat 4 is provided in the slide groove 21. The slat 4 is used to adjust the gap between the upper rail 1, the middle seat 2, and the lower rail 3. The middle seat 2 is provided with a slat stop screw 5 for retaining the slat 4 within the slide groove 21.

[0033] An upper limit structure is provided between the upper rail 1 and the middle seat 2 for limiting the maximum stroke of the upper rail 1 relative to the middle seat 2, and a lower limit structure is provided between the lower rail 3 and the middle seat 2 for limiting the maximum stroke of the middle seat 2 relative to the lower rail 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, if Figure 4-7 As shown, the upper limit structure includes a first limit screw 61 and a second limit screw 62 respectively screwed and fixed at both ends of the upper rail 1, and a first stop portion 201 and a second stop portion 202 are provided on the middle seat 2. When the upper rail 1 is pulled outward relative to the middle seat 2 to the maximum stroke position, the first limit screw 61 abuts on the first stop portion 201. When the upper rail 1 is reset to a position overlapping with the middle seat 2, the second limit screw 62 abuts on the second stop portion 202.

[0035] An upper clearance groove 22 for accommodating the first limiting screw 61 and the second limiting screw 62 is provided on the middle seat 2 , an upper stop block 221 is provided in the upper clearance groove 22 , and a first stop portion 201 and a second stop portion 202 are located on both sides of the upper stop block 221 .

[0036] The lower limit structure includes a third limit screw 63 and a fourth limit screw 64 respectively screwed and fixed at both ends of the middle seat 2, and a third stop portion 301 and a fourth stop portion 302 are provided on the lower rail 3. When the middle seat 2 is pulled outward to the maximum stroke position relative to the lower rail 3, the third limit screw 63 abuts on the third stop portion 301, and when the middle seat 2 is reset to a position overlapping with the lower rail 3, the fourth limit screw 64 abuts on the fourth stop portion 302.

[0037] A lower clearance groove 31 for accommodating the third limiting screw 63 and the fourth limiting screw 64 is provided on the lower rail 3 . A lower stopper 311 is provided in the lower clearance groove 31 . The third stopper 301 and the fourth stopper 302 are located on both sides of the lower stopper 311 .

[0038] In order to prevent the limit screws from accidentally failing, a safety screw 65 is arranged next to each limit screw to prevent the upper rail 1, the middle seat 2 and the lower rail 3 from separating from each other.

[0039] The three-section slide rail device further includes a locking mechanism, which is used to self-lock when the three-section slide rail device is at the maximum stroke position and the minimum stroke position.

[0040] A receiving groove 23 is provided on the side wall of the middle seat 2, and the locking mechanism is provided in the receiving groove 23; the locking mechanism includes a connecting rod 71, a compression spring 72, and an upper pin block 73 and a lower pin block 74 located at both ends of the connecting rod 71. The middle part of the connecting rod 71 is rotatably mounted on the middle seat 2 by a plug screw 75. An upper through hole 231 and a lower through hole 232 for the upper pin block 73 and the lower pin block 74 to pass through are respectively provided on the two side walls of the receiving groove 23. A first locking hole 101 and a second locking hole 102 for inserting the upper pin block 73 are provided on the upper rail 1, and a third locking hole 303 and a fourth locking hole 304 for inserting the lower pin block 74 are provided on the lower rail 3. One end of the compression spring 72 is fixed to the side wall of the accommodating groove 23, and the other end is inserted into the pin hole 711 on the connecting rod 71. The compression spring 72 presses against the connecting rod 71 so that the upper pin block 73 and the lower pin block 74 always have a tendency to pass outward from the upper through hole 231 and the lower through hole 232.

[0041] A pressing handle 76 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 71. When unlocking, the connecting rod 71 can be pressed by the pressing handle 76, so that the upper pin block 73 and the lower pin block 74 are respectively disengaged from the first locking hole 101 of the upper rail 1 and the third locking hole 303 of the lower rail 3. Figure 8 、 9 Then the upper rail 1 can be pulled outward to stretch the entire three-section slide assembly. When the three-section slide assembly is stretched to the maximum travel position, as shown in FIG. Figure 10-12 As shown, under the reset action of the compression spring 72, the upper pin block 73 and the lower pin block 74 respectively enter the second locking hole 102 of the upper rail 1 and the fourth locking hole 304 of the lower rail 3, thereby locking the three-section slide rail device in this position to achieve self-locking.

[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
