They are also widely used in linear motion components in automation equipment, construction equipment, and precision machinery.

[0003] When linear guides are used in different fields, the sliders on them will carry objects of different weights to slide at different speeds.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not limit the scope of protection and application of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] A linear slide with a buffer function, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a linear guide 1, a slider 2 and a base 3. A cavity is provided inside the slider 2. There are two bases 3 and they are arranged at both ends of the linear guide 1. A brake assembly 4 is provided on the slider 2. The brake assembly 4 includes four brake pads 46. The brake pads 46 are slidably passed through the slider 2. The brake pads 46 are arranged in pairs. The brake pads 46 are in contact and friction fit with the linear guide 1. A second spring 47 is connected between the brake pads 46 and the linear guide 1.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the brake assembly 4 also includes four extrusion blocks 49, which are rotatably connected to the inside of the slider 2 through a rotating shaft 410. The extrusion blocks 49 are extruded and fitted with the brake pads 46. One end of the extrusion blocks 49 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 48. Connecting frames 43 are provided on both sides of the slider 2 facing the base 3. The connecting frames 43 are connected to an air bag 42 on the back side, and the air bag 42 is connected to an extrusion frame 41 on the back side. The extrusion frame 41 collides and is extruded and fitted with the base 3. A first spring 44 is connected between the extrusion frame 41 and the connecting frame 43 on the same side. A piston rod 45 is provided on the opposite side of the connecting frame 43. The piston rod 45 is communicated with the air bag 42, and the piston of the piston rod 45 is rotatably connected to the adjacent connecting rod 48.

[0030] When the slider 2 moves back and forth on the linear guide 1, if the load on the slider 2 is heavy, the slider 2 will be seriously affected by inertia. When the slider 2 slides to the base 3, it will collide with the base 3, and the air bag 42 will be squeezed by the extrusion frame 41. The air bag 42 is compressed to extend the piston of the piston rod 45, and then the extrusion block 49 is rotated around the rotating shaft 410 through the connecting rod 48 and squeezes the brake pad 46. The brake pad 46 approaches the linear guide 1 and is gradually tightened until the slider 2 stops.

[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a uniform oiling component 5, which includes a guide frame 55, which is connected to the top of the slider 2, and a sliding frame 54 is slidably provided on the guide frame 55, and an oil barrel 56 is connected to the guide frame 55. A barrel cover 57 is threadedly connected to the top of the oil barrel 56, and a temporary oil storage bin 58 is slidably connected to the bottom of the oil barrel 56. A sponge block 59 is passed through the side wall of the temporary oil storage bin 58, and the sponge block 59 is blocked by the inner wall of the bottom of the oil barrel 56. The temporary oil storage bin 58 is connected to the sliding frame 54, and the slider 2 is located below the temporary oil storage bin 58. A circular hole that passes directly through the surface of the linear guide rail 1 is opened, and the lubricating oil in the temporary oil storage bin 58 flows into the circular hole through the sponge block 59 to the surface of the linear guide rail 1.

[0032] The elastic coefficient of the third spring 53 is smaller than that of the fourth spring 512 .

[0033] The uniform oiling assembly 5 also includes a protective cover 51, which is slidably arranged on the top of the slider 2. The slider 2 has a square bin located below the protective cover 51. The sliding frame 54 slides through the protective cover 51. A squeezing ball 52 is slidably arranged in the square bin. Two third springs 53 are connected between the squeezing ball 52 and the inner side wall of the square bin. The squeezing ball 52 is in contact with the sliding frame 54.

[0034] A baffle 510 is provided circumferentially around the top of the circular hole, and the baffle 510 is higher than the sponge block 59 .

[0035] like Figure 9As shown, a top block 511 is slidingly provided on the upper surface of the linear guide rail 1, and a fourth spring 512 is connected between the top block 511 and the linear guide rail 1. The top block 511 is squeezed into fit with the extrusion ball 52, and the extrusion frame 41, the airbag 42, the connecting frame 43 and the slider 2 are all provided with a channel 5110 for the top block 511 to pass through. The distance from the axis of the top block 511 to the base 3 is less than or equal to the distance from the cross-section of the extrusion ball 52 to the base 3.

[0036] When the slider 2 approaches the base 3, the top block 511 contacts and squeezes the squeezing ball 52, and the squeezing ball 52 is displaced and no longer blocks the sliding frame 54. The third spring 53 is deformed, and the sliding frame 54 drops under the action of gravity. The bottom of the oil barrel 56 no longer blocks the sponge block 59, and the sponge block 59 relaxes and bulges. The lubricating oil in the oil barrel 56 flows out through the sponge block 59 due to osmosis and flows along the circular hole onto the linear guide 1. When the third spring 53 is deformed to the limit, the squeezing ball 52 begins to press the top block 511 downward, and the fourth spring 512 is deformed. Then the squeezing ball 52 will pass over the top block 511, and then the fourth spring 512 is deformed. After passing over, the third spring 53 is reset, driving the squeezing ball 52 to reset and then squeeze the sliding frame 54 upward. The bottom of the oil barrel 56 squeezes the sponge block 59 in again and blocks it, so that the lubricating oil no longer flows out.

[0037] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a buffer assembly 6, which includes a telescopic motherboard 61, a telescopic sub-plate 62, a spring 63 and a fifth spring 64. The telescopic motherboard 61 is symmetrically hinged on the extrusion frame 41, and the telescopic sub-plate 62 is symmetrically slidably arranged at the opposite ends of the two telescopic motherboards 61. The two telescopic sub-plates 62 are connected, the spring 63 is arranged between the telescopic motherboard 61 and the extrusion frame 41, and the fifth spring 64 is arranged between the telescopic sub-plate 62 and the telescopic motherboard 61.

[0038] When the slider 2 collides with the base 3, the telescopic sub-plate 62 is squeezed into the telescopic mother plate 61 where it is located, the fifth spring 64 is deformed, and the telescopic mother plate 61 is also squeezed and rotated, thereby deforming the spring piece 63. The fifth spring 64 and the spring piece 63 have a buffering effect on the collision between the slider 2 and the base 3.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective cover 51 is symmetrically provided with a first support block 71, and an optical signal transmitter 72 is provided on the side facing away from the first support block 71. The base 3 is provided with a second support block 73 and a display screen 75. The second support block 73 is provided with an optical signal receiver 74. The optical signal receiver 74 is inductively matched with the optical signal transmitter 72 on the same side, and the optical signal receiver 74 is electrically connected to the display screen 75 on the same side.

[0040] During the sliding process of the slider 2, the optical signal transmitter 72, the optical signal receiver 74 and the display screen 75 are always in the on state. Through the photoelectric sensing between the optical signal transmitter 72 and the optical signal receiver 74, the display screen 75 can display the distance between the slider 2 and the base 3 in real time.

[0041] It should be understood that this embodiment is only used to illustrate the present invention and is not used to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms fall equally within the scope limited by the appended claims of the application.
