Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of adapters, in particular to a high-compatibility guide rail sliding block. BACKGROUND

[0002] The annular and arc-shaped guide rails have the characteristics of low noise, dust-free, low cost, reduced replacement frequency, simple maintenance, convenient replacement, long service life and the like, thereby adapting to the large-scale, high-quality and fast-paced modern production mode, and further being applied to improving the stability and precision in industrial automated production, and reducing the labor cost. However, in actual production, because of the shape of the special-shaped guide rail, the produced special-shaped guide rail is prone to precision error, so that the sliding block often encounters the phenomenon of vibration or jamming in the running process, thereby affecting the work efficiency. And because the special-shaped guide rail has different shapes, the sliding blocks adapted to the special-shaped guide rail have different structures, so that the interchangeability of different sliding blocks is poor, thereby increasing the types of sliding blocks needed to be used in production, and increasing the production cost. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of this, the present application provides a high-compatibility guide rail sliding block which can solve the above problems.

[0004] The application discloses a high-compatibility guide rail sliding block which comprises a guide rail and a sliding block arranged on the guide rail. The guide rail comprises a guide rail plate and two guide rail ridges arranged on the guide rail plate. When the guide rail is arc-shaped, the radii of the two guide rail ridges are the same; when the guide rail is ring-shaped, the radii of the two guide rail ridges are different. The sliding block comprises a base, at least two fixed sliding members fixed on the base and at least two floating sliding members slidingly connected to the base. The base is provided with at least two assembly grooves arranged at intervals. The fixed sliding member comprises a sliding member body fixedly arranged on the assembly groove, a sliding head arranged on the sliding member body and inserted into the assembly groove, a semi-enclosed containing groove arranged on the sliding member body, a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole arranged in the semi-enclosed containing groove and a semi-enclosed bushing arranged in the semi-enclosed containing groove. The floating sliding member comprises a sliding member body slidingly arranged on the assembly groove, a sliding head arranged on the sliding member body and inserted into the assembly groove, a semi-enclosed containing groove arranged on the sliding member body, a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole arranged in the semi-enclosed containing groove and a semi-enclosed bushing arranged in the semi-enclosed containing groove. The inner wall of the semi-enclosed containing groove is spherical, the central axes of the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole are in the same plane and are perpendicular to each other, and the central axes of the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole intersect with the central axis of the semi-enclosed bushing, the central axis of the first insertion hole is perpendicular to the plane in which the central axes of the two guide rail ridges are located, and the central axis of the second insertion hole is parallel to the plane in which the central axes of the two guide rail ridges are located. The semi-enclosed bushing comprises a bushing body and a rotating shaft arranged on the outer wall of the semi-enclosed bushing. The outer wall of the bushing body is spherical, when the guide rail is arc-shaped, the rotating shaft is inserted into the second insertion hole, and when the guide rail is ring-shaped, the rotating shaft is inserted into the first insertion hole.

[0005] Further, the guide rail ridges are located on the outer side or the inner side of the guide rail plate.

[0006] Further, the assembly groove is a T-shaped groove or a V-shaped groove.

[0007] Further, the sliding head is located at one end of the sliding member body, and two grooves are formed in the sliding member body to form the sliding head.

[0008] Further, the central angle of the semi-enclosed containing groove is between 180 degrees and 330 degrees.

[0009] Further, the central axis of the semi-enclosed containing groove should be parallel to the arrangement direction of the two fixed sliding members.

[0010] Furthermore, the central axis of the semi-enclosed receiving groove is perpendicular to the surface formed by the central axes of the first and second insertion holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the bushing is equivalent to the outer diameter of the guide rail ridge.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating shaft and the semi-enclosed receiving groove are connected by a plug-in type.

[0013] Furthermore, the slider also includes a detachable baffle assembly fixed to the base. The detachable baffle assembly includes a baffle body, at least one screw hole provided on the baffle body, at least one mounting groove provided on the baffle body, and at least one screw provided in the mounting groove.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the high-compatibility guide rail slider provided by this invention fully utilizes the floating slider and the semi-enclosed bushing provided on the slider body. This allows the slider to eliminate vibration or jamming caused by the bending deformation of the guide rail ridges in annular, arc-shaped, and serpentine guide rails from two directions parallel or perpendicular to the two guide rail ridges, thereby improving the accuracy of the slider. Specifically, when the guide rail is circular, arc-shaped, annular, or serpentine, the floating slider floats on the sliding groove to accommodate the phenomenon of slider vibration caused by the deformation of the guide rail ridges along the arrangement direction of the two guide rail ridges in actual production. In addition, when the guide rail is an arc-shaped guide rail and the rotating shaft is inserted into the second insertion hole, the semi-enclosed bushing can rotate around the central axis parallel to the arrangement direction of the guide rail ridges to accommodate the deformation of the slider along the arc-shaped movement trajectory of the arc-shaped guide rail. When the guide rail is an annular guide rail and the rotating shaft is inserted into the first insertion hole, the semi-enclosed bushing can rotate around the central axis direction perpendicular to the ridge arrangement direction of the guide rail to adapt to the deformation of the slider along the annular guide rail's circular motion trajectory, thereby enabling the slider to adapt to guide rails of different structures and shapes, and improving the slider's compatibility.

[0021] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of the present application herein is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 , it is a structural schematic view of a high compatibility guide rail slider provided by the present application. The high compatibility guide rail slider comprises a guide rail 10 and a slider 20 arranged on the guide rail 10. It is conceivable that the high compatibility guide rail slider further comprises other functional modules, such as a bearing assembly, lubricating oil, a mounting component, etc., which are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here.

[0023] ​​​The guide rail 10 is used to carry the slider 20 to slide along it. The guide rail 10 can be linear, circular, arcuate, serpentine, etc. so that the slider 20 moves along the guide rail of different shapes to complete different work requirements. It is understood that the serpentine guide rail is formed by connecting the ends of multiple arcuate guide rails in a tangential direction. The guide rail 10 comprises a guide rail plate 11 and two guide rail ridges 12 arranged on the guide rail plate 11. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rail ridge 12 can be arcuate, polygonal, etc. In this embodiment, the central angle of the outer cross-section of the guide rail ridge 12 is between 180 and 330 degrees. Preferably, the guide rail ridge 12 is located outside the guide rail plate 11 to insert the slider 20. It is also conceivable that the guide rail ridge 12 can be arranged inside the guide rail plate 11, in which case the central angle of the outer cross-section of the guide rail ridge 12 should be greater than 180 degrees, so that when the slider 20 is inserted on the guide rail ridge 12, the slider 20 can be prevented from falling off in the radial direction of the outer cross-section of the guide rail ridge 12. When the guide rail 10 is circular or arcuate, the arrangement direction of the two guide rail ridges 12 should be parallel to the central axis of the arc of the guide rail 10, and the radii of the two guide rail ridges 12 are the same, as shown in Figure 1 When the guide rail 10 is circular, the arrangement direction of the two guide rail ridges 12 should be parallel to the radial direction of the guide rail 10, i.e. the radii of the two guide rail ridges 12 are different, as shown in Figure 6 .

[0024] The slider 20 comprises a base 21, at least two fixed sliding members 22 fixed on the base 21, at least two floating sliding members 23 slidingly connected to the base 21, and at least one detachable baffle assembly 24 fixed on the base 21 and located on one side of the floating sliding member 23.

[0025] The base 21 can be a plate structure and has at least two spaced assembly grooves 211. The assembly groove 211 can be T-shaped or V-shaped. It is conceivable that the base 21 is also provided with a plurality of fasteners such as screws for assembling or fixing the fixed sliding member 22.

[0026] The fixed sliding member 22 is arranged on the guide rail ridge 12 and at least two. Of course, according to the actual needs, such as strength, the number of fixed sliding member 22 can be three, or more. The size, specification, number of fixed sliding member 22 and floating sliding member 23 can be the same, only because the connection mode is different and is distinguished as fixed and floating, that is, the fixed sliding member 22 is fixedly arranged on the base 21, and the floating sliding member 23 is slidingly arranged on the base 21. The arrangement of at least two fixed sliding members 22 should be consistent with the extension direction of the guide rail ridge 12. The fixed sliding member 22 can be fixed on the base 21 by screws and other fasteners. Because the fixed sliding member 22 and the floating sliding member 23 are the same structure, only the fixed sliding member 22 is taken as an example to illustrate its structure and working principle. The fixed sliding member 22 comprises a sliding member body 221 fixedly arranged on the assembly groove 211, a sliding head 222 arranged on the sliding member body 221 and inserted into the assembly groove 211, a semi-enclosed containing groove 223 arranged on the sliding member body 221, a first insertion hole 224 and a second insertion hole 225 arranged in the semi-enclosed containing groove 223, and a semi-enclosed bushing 226 arranged in the semi-enclosed containing groove 223.

[0027] The sliding member body 221 can be made of light metal material, such as aluminum alloy, and the whole is rectangular structure. The sliding head 222 is located at one end of the sliding member body 221. Two grooves are opened on the sliding member body 221 to form the sliding head 222, as shown in the figure. Thus, when the sliding head 222 is inserted into the assembly groove 211, the position relationship between the sliding member body 221 and the base 21 in the arrangement direction is fixed. Figure 2

[0028] The semi-enclosed containing groove 223 is located at the other end of the sliding member body 222 relative to the sliding head 222 and has an opening. The opening is opened towards the guide rail plate 11. The central angle of the semi-enclosed containing groove 223 is between 180 degrees and 330 degrees, and is used to accommodate the semi-enclosed bushing 226. At the same time, the central axis of the semi-enclosed containing groove 223 should be parallel to the arrangement direction of the two fixed sliding members 22. The inner side wall of the semi-enclosed containing groove 223 is spherical structure, which is beneficial to the rotation of the semi-enclosed bushing 226 in the semi-enclosed containing groove 223.

[0029] ​The first insertion hole 224 is arranged on the sidewall of the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 223, and the central axis of the first insertion hole 224 intersects with the central axis of the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 223. The first insertion hole 224 is used for arranging the semi-enclosed bushing 226, and the arrangement method will be described below in combination with the semi-enclosed bushing 226.

[0030] The second insertion hole 225 has the same structure and function as the first insertion hole 224, and the central axis of the second insertion hole 225 also intersects with the central axis of the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 223. At the same time, the central axis of the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 223 is perpendicular to the plane formed by the central axes of the first and second insertion holes 224, 225. In addition, the included angle between the central axes of the first and second insertion holes 224, 225 is 90 degrees. At the same time, the central axis of the first insertion hole 224 is perpendicular to the plane in which the central axes of the two guide rail ridges 12 lie, and therefore the central axis of the second insertion hole 225 is parallel to the plane in which the central axes of the two guide rail ridges 12 lie, as shown in Figure 3 The second insertion hole 225 is also used for arranging the semi-enclosed bushing 226, and the arrangement method will be described below in combination with the semi-enclosed bushing 226.

[0031] The semi-enclosed bushing 226 can be made of wear-resistant plastic and includes a bushing 2261 and a rotation axis 2262 arranged on the outer sidewall of the bushing 2261. The bushing 2261 is in a cylindrical shape, and its inner diameter is comparable to the outer diameter of the guide rail ridge 12. The outer sidewall of the bushing 2261 is also in a spherical surface structure, and the specification parameters of the spherical surface structure are comparable to those of the spherical surface structure of the inner sidewall of the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 223. Therefore, when the bushing 2261 is inserted into the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 223, not only the positional relationship between the bushing 2261 and the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 223 can be fixed, but also the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 223 can be rotated around the rotation axis 2262.

[0032] During assembly, the semi-enclosed bushing 226 is extruded to deform, and the rotation axis 2262 on the semi-enclosed bushing 266 is inserted into one of the first and second insertion holes 224, 225 of the semi-enclosed accommodating groove 233. The arrangement method will be described in detail below. When the guide rail 10 is an arc-shaped or circular guide rail, the semi-enclosed bushing 226 is extruded, and the rotation axis 2262 must be inserted into the second insertion hole 225, as shown in Figure 4As shown, when the semi-enclosed bushing 226 slides along the arc-shaped guide rail ridge 12, the semi-enclosed bushing 226 can rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft 2262 to adapt to the arc-shaped deformation structure of the guide rail ridge 12. When the guide rail 10 is a ring-shaped guide rail, the movement track of the slider 20 on the guide rail 10 is ring-shaped. When assembled, the semi-enclosed bushing 226 is extruded, and the rotating shaft 2262 must be inserted into the first insertion hole 224, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, when the semi-enclosed bushing 226 slides along the arc-shaped guide rail ridge 12, the semi-enclosed bushing 226 can rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft 2262 to adapt to the arc-shaped deformation structure of the guide rail ridge 12. When the guide rail 10 is a ring-shaped guide rail, the movement track of the slider 20 on the guide rail 10 is ring-shaped. When assembled, the semi-enclosed bushing 226 is extruded, and the rotating shaft 2262 must be inserted into the first insertion hole 224, as shown.

[0033] The composition and assembly structure of the floating slider 23 are basically the same as those of the fixed slider 22, and the only difference is that the relative position of the floating slider 23 to the base 21 is not fixed, i.e., slidingly arranged. In the process of bending the guide rail 10 into a circle, an arc, a ring, or a snake shape, the guide rail ridge 12 will deform along the arrangement direction of the two guide rail ridges 12, so when the floating slider 23 slides along the arrangement direction of the two guide rail ridges 12, the vibration caused by the deformation can be offset, and the floating slider 23 can also avoid being stuck, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the entire guide rail slider. It is conceivable that the guide rail ridge 12 will also deform perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two guide rail ridges 12, and this deformation can be offset by the semi-enclosed bushing 226 that can rotate, so that the slider 20 can slide smoothly on the guide rail 10 without jumping, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of the high-compatibility guide rail slider.

[0034] The detachable baffle assembly 24 is used to block the floating slide 23 from sliding out of the assembling groove 211. The number of the detachable baffle assembly 24 is at least one. Of course, according to the actual needs, such as the length of the base 21, the detachable baffle assembly 24 can be two, three, or more. The detachable baffle assembly 24 can be made of light metal material, such as aluminum alloy, which is a whole rectangular structure. The detachable baffle assembly 24 includes a baffle body 241, at least one screw hole 242 arranged on the baffle body 241, at least one mounting groove 243 arranged on the baffle body 241, and at least one screw 244 arranged in the mounting groove 243. The mounting groove 243 is arranged in the direction away from the guide rail base 21 of the screw hole 242. Of course, according to the actual needs, such as the length of the detachable baffle assembly 24, the screw hole 242, the mounting groove 243, and the screw 244 can be two, three, or even more. In this embodiment, the detachable baffle assembly 24 is fixed on the base 21 by screwing. Of course, according to the actual situation, the detachable baffle assembly 24 can be fixed on the base 21 by other ways, such as welding. When installing, align the detachable baffle assembly 24 with the base 21, and screw the screw 244 into the screw hole 242 to fix the base 21 and the detachable baffle 24. When disassembling, unscrew the screw 244 connected between the detachable baffle assembly 24 and the base 21, and then separate the detachable baffle 24 from the base 21.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the high-compatibility guide rail sliding block provided by the application makes full use of the floating sliding block 23 and the semi-enclosed bushing 226 arranged on the sliding member body 221, so that the sliding block 20 can eliminate the vibration or jamming phenomenon of the annular guide rail, the circular-arc guide rail and the serpentine guide rail caused by the deformation of the guide rail ridge 12 in the two directions parallel or perpendicular to the two guide rail ridges 12, thereby improving the accuracy of the sliding block 20. Specifically, when the shape of the guide rail 10 is a circular guide rail, an arc-shaped guide rail, an annular guide rail or a serpentine guide rail, the floating sliding block 23 will float on the sliding groove 211 to adapt to the vibration phenomenon of the sliding block 20 caused by the deformation of the circular guide rail, the arc-shaped guide rail, the annular guide rail or the serpentine guide rail in the actual production due to the guide rail ridge 12 along the two guide rail ridge 12 arrangement directions. In addition, when the guide rail 10 is an arc-shaped guide rail and the rotating shaft 2261 is inserted into the second insertion hole 225, the semi-enclosed bushing 226 can rotate around the central axis direction parallel to the arrangement direction of the guide rail ridge 12 to adapt to the deformation of the sliding block 20 along the arc-shaped motion trajectory of the arc-shaped guide rail. When the guide rail 10 is an annular guide rail and the rotating shaft 2261 is inserted into the first insertion hole 224, the semi-enclosed bushing 226 can rotate around the central axis direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the guide rail ridge 12 to adapt to the deformation of the sliding block 20 along the annular motion trajectory of the annular guide rail, so that the sliding block 20 can adapt to guide rails of different structures and shapes, and the compatibility of the sliding block 20 is improved.

[0036] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the application, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the application. Any modification, equivalent replacement or improvement within the spirit of the application is covered by the claim scope of the application.
