Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of guide rail technology, specifically to a self-cleaning lubrication structure for a slider. Background Technology

[0002] Slider blocks are mainly used in sliding friction guides. Some large mechanical equipment requires linear guides, also known as linear rails, slide rails, linear guides, or linear slide rails. They are used in linear reciprocating motion applications and can withstand a certain amount of torque, enabling high-precision linear motion under high loads.

[0003] When the slider is working on the guide rail, it is necessary to inject lubricating oil into the guide rail and clean the guide rail with oil suction to avoid dust accumulation on the slider. Generally, the guide rail is cleaned by fixing an oil scraper or oil suction layer to one side of the slider. However, the guide rail and slider are usually continuously injected with oil, and the amount of oil injected cannot be controlled, resulting in excessive oil injection, wasting lubricating oil and affecting the working performance of the slider. Moreover, the continuous cleaning of the guide rail by the oil scraper or oil suction layer will cause the oil scraper or oil suction layer to absorb too much lubricating oil, affecting the performance of the oil scraper or oil suction layer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-cleaning lubrication structure for sliders to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning lubrication structure for a slider, comprising a slide rail, a slider body slidably connected to the top of the slide rail, an oil injection block fixedly connected to one side of the slider body, a cleaning block fixedly connected to the other side of the slider body, a top groove formed at the top of the oil injection block, a liquid storage tank disposed within the top groove, a pump body disposed within the liquid storage tank, a middle groove formed at the middle of the oil injection block, an inclined liquid guide pipe fixedly connected between the two sides of the top of the middle groove, a sponge layer fixedly connected to the bottom of the middle groove, an air pump disposed at the top of the cleaning block, a second bottom groove formed at the bottom of the cleaning block, a first air bladder layer disposed within the first bottom groove, second mounting grooves formed on both sides of the second bottom groove, a second air bladder layer disposed within the second mounting groove, and an oil-absorbing layer disposed on the inner wall of the second bottom groove.

[0008] Preferably, a liquid passage pipe is fixedly connected between the liquid storage tank and one end of the liquid guide pipe, and a first solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the surface of the liquid passage pipe. The output end of the pump body is connected to one end of the liquid passage pipe through a pipeline.

[0009] Preferably, a first air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the first air bladder layer, and a second solenoid valve is installed on the surface of the first air outlet pipe. A second air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the second air bladder layer, and a third solenoid valve is installed on the surface of the second air outlet pipe. One end of the air pump is connected to one end of the second air outlet pipe and one end of the first air outlet pipe through a pipe.

[0010] Preferably, a first controller is fixedly installed on one side of the liquid storage tank, and the pump body and the first solenoid valve are both electrically connected to the first controller.

[0014] Preferably, a glass window is provided on one side of the surface of the liquid storage tank.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] By configuring the slide rail, oil injection block, reservoir, first controller, sponge layer, slider body, cleaning block, and oil absorption layer, lubricating oil can be evenly introduced into the inner groove. Then, the lubricating oil flows evenly into the first bottom groove through the first and second liquid inlets before flowing onto the slide rail, evenly injecting oil into the slide rail and thus guiding the lubricating oil onto the slider body. When the second controller periodically starts the air pump, the air pump inflates the first and second airbag layers, causing them to expand and press against the slide rail. The oil-absorbing layers of the first and second air-filled bladder layers can absorb oil and clean the slide rail. When the second controller opens the first and second solenoid valves, air is released from the first and second air-filled bladder layers through the first and second exhaust pipes, causing the first and second air-filled bladder layers to contract and stop the oil-absorbing layers from absorbing oil and cleaning the slide rail. Thus, this device can periodically lubricate and clean the slide rail and slider body, saving the amount of lubricating oil used and maintaining an appropriate amount of oil for the slide rail and slider body, allowing the slider body to work better.

[0030] A liquid passage pipe 23 is fixedly connected between one end of the liquid storage tank 21 and the liquid guide pipe 25. A first solenoid valve 231 is fixedly installed on the surface of the liquid passage pipe 23. The output end of the pump body is connected to one end of the liquid passage pipe 23 through a pipe.

[0031] The first air bladder layer 42 is fixedly connected to one side of a first air outlet pipe, and a second solenoid valve is installed on the surface of the first air outlet pipe. The second air bladder layer 44 is fixedly connected to one side of a second air outlet pipe, and a third solenoid valve is installed on the surface of the second air outlet pipe.

[0037] Working principle: When the slider body 30 works on the slide rail 10, the first controller 22 and the second controller 411 are turned on. The first controller 22 starts and stops the first solenoid valve 231 and the pump body at regular intervals. The second controller 411 starts and stops the air pump 41, the first solenoid valve 231 and the second solenoid valve at regular intervals. When the first controller 22 starts the pump body and the solenoid valve, the pump body injects the lubricating oil in the storage tank 21 into the guide pipe 25 through the pipeline. The lubricating oil flows into the outlet hole 251. Within the inner groove 241 of the sponge layer 24, the diameter of the outlet hole 251 allows lubricating oil to be evenly introduced into the inner groove 241.

This, in turn, guides the lubricating oil onto the slider body 30. When the first controller 22 closes the first solenoid valve 231 and the pump, it stops supplying lubricating oil to the slide rail 10 and the slider body 30. Oil injection; when the second controller 411 starts the air pump 41 at regular intervals, the air pump 41 inflates the first airbag layer 42 and the second airbag, causing the first airbag layer 42 and the second airbag layer 44 to expand, making the first airbag layer 42 and the second airbag layer 44 close to the slide rail 10, so that the oil-absorbing layer 45 of the first airbag layer 42 and the second airbag layer 44 can absorb oil and clean the slide rail 10. When the second controller 411 opens the first solenoid valve 231 and the second solenoid valve, through The first and second exhaust pipes release air from the first and second airbag layers 42 and 44, causing them to contract and stopping the oil-absorbing layer 45 from absorbing oil and cleaning the slide rail 10. Thus, this device can periodically lubricate and clean the slide rail 10 and the slider body 30, saving the amount of lubricating oil used and maintaining an appropriate amount of oil for the slide rail 10 and the slider body 30, allowing the slider body 30 to work better.
