TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of guide rail processing, and particularly relates to a steel ball loading device for guide rail sliders. BACKGROUND
[0002] The slider used in the linear guide rail is mostly a double-track ball structure, which realizes transmission by rolling of the ball between two tracks. The basic structure of the double-track ball principle is composed of two tracks and a ball. One track is an inner circle, and the other track is an outer circle. The ball is usually a cylindrical shape. The ball is placed between the two tracks and realizes transmission by rolling. The track surfaces of the inner circle track and the outer circle track are perpendicular to each other and form a 45-degree angle with the cross section of the slider.
[0003] The loading ports of the inner circle track and the outer circle track of the slider are located at both ends of the slider. During the ball loading operation of this type of slider, the transmission ball is directly placed in the track of the slider, and the ball is manually adjusted by using tweezers until the ball fills the inner cavity of the track. The work efficiency is low, the labor cost is high, and there is a lack of direct loading tooling. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the technical problems in the background art, the present application provides a steel ball loading device for guide rail sliders.
[0005] The steel ball loading device for guide rail sliders provided by the present application comprises a base, a support table, a pipeline assembly, a storage seat, a feeding assembly and a slider.
[0006] The storage seat and the support table that are matched with each other are installed on the base. The storage seat has a clamping groove for placing the slider so that the slider and the base maintain a predetermined angle. The support table is provided with the pipeline assembly and the feeding assembly that is matched with the pipeline assembly and is in sliding connection with the support table. The pipeline assembly has a track for guiding the rolling of the ball, and the output port of the track is matched with the feeding port of the slider. When the feeding assembly is located at a first position on the support table for separating the balls in the track, the feeding assembly can be driven to move to a second position on the support table, so that the balls between the feeding assembly in the track and the slider enter the interior of the slider from the feeding port of the slider.
[0007] As a further optimization of the above-mentioned scheme, the storage seat comprises a placing part and a stopper part. The placing part has a clamping groove for placing the slider so that the slider and the base maintain a 45-degree angle. The side wall of the slider has a first feeding port and a second feeding port. The side wall of the slider is placed in close contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove so that the first feeding port and the second feeding port of the slider are parallel to the upper surface of the base and the first feeding port is lower than the second feeding port in height and maintains a fixed height difference. The side of the placing part away from the support table is connected with the stopper part having a height higher than that of the slider.
[0008] As a further optimization of the above scheme, the pipeline assembly comprises a first sliding rail and a second sliding rail installed on both sides of the support table with a height difference, the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail are distributed parallel to each other, and the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail each have a track guiding the rolling of the ball. The first sliding rail and the second sliding rail each have a strip-shaped gap with a width smaller than the track at the opening of the track. The first sliding rail has a first recess and a first protrusion at one end close to the sliding block, and the second sliding rail has a second recess and a second protrusion at one end close to the sliding block. The connection part of the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail with the support table is parallel to the base, so that the output port of the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail is engaged with the first inlet and the second inlet respectively. The one end of the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail close to the sliding block is connected with an elastic member, so that the elastic member limits the ball adjacent to the sliding block.
[0009] As a further optimization of the above scheme, the elastic member comprises an elastic strip part fixedly connected with the first sliding rail or the second sliding rail. The other end of the elastic strip part is connected with a lower recessed clamping strip part located at the end of the track close to the sliding block, so that the lower recessed clamping strip part limits the ball adjacent to the sliding block.
[0010] As a further optimization of the above scheme, the feeding assembly comprises a feeding sliding rail installed at the upper end of the support table. The feeding sliding rail is slidingly connected with a sliding block in the same direction as the rolling direction of the ball of the horizontal part of the pipeline assembly. The sliding block slidingly sleeves a first plug pin and a second plug pin which can change the vertical position. When the feeding assembly is located at the first position on the support table, the lower end of the first plug pin can be inserted into the first sliding rail between the two predetermined balls through the strip-shaped gap, and the lower end of the second plug pin can be inserted into the second sliding rail between the two predetermined balls through the strip-shaped gap.
[0011] As a further optimization of the above scheme, the lower end of the first plug pin and the second plug pin away from the side of the storage seat is provided with a beveled part. The upper end of the first plug pin and the second plug pin is connected with a pressing part. The outer wall of the first plug pin and the second plug pin is sleeved with a spring connected with the pressing part and the sliding block.
[0012] As a further optimization of the above scheme, the width of the clamping groove is smaller than the width of the sliding block, so that the side of the sliding block away from the blocking part extends out of the clamping groove. The upper surface of the storage seat is lower than the height of the upturned edge on the bottom surface of the sliding block placed in the clamping groove.
[0013] As a further optimization of the above scheme, the support table comprises three groups of connecting blocks installed on the base at equal intervals in the same axis direction. The side wall of the connecting block is provided with an inner groove corresponding to the installation position of the pipeline assembly.
[0014] In the present application, the device provides the clamping groove with a 45-degree angle with the base for the sliding block, so that the first feeding port and the second feeding port of the sliding block are parallel to the upper surface of the base and have a fixed height difference, meeting the requirement that the sliding block feeding port can engage with the pipeline assembly output port when the sliding block is placed in reverse, the first slide rail and the second slide rail with height difference corresponding to the support table and the feeding assembly with the first and second latch rods meet the requirement of synchronous ball loading operation for the first and second feeding ports, greatly improving the convenience of the device, improving the efficiency of the sliding block production and processing, and reducing the labor cost in the production process.
