Description

Technical Field

[0002] The floor rail slide is a key component of automated welding and cutting equipment, used to increase the working range and flexibility of the equipment. One of the main functions of the floor rail slide is to expand the working range of the welding and cutting robot. By moving on the floor rail, the welding and cutting robot can cover a larger working area and complete welding and cutting operations at multiple stations, which can significantly improve the production efficiency of automated welding equipment. It allows the robot to quickly switch between different stations, reducing the time for manual intervention, thereby improving overall production efficiency.

[0003] The floor rail slide is mainly composed of a base, a guide rail slider, a gear rack, a slide, a motor reducer, a lubrication system and a protective device. Compared with other types of floor rail slides, it has higher precision and stability and can meet the production needs under complex process conditions. At the same time, its modular design and high customizability enable it to adapt to a variety of different application scenarios and customer needs.

[0004] During the operation of the floor rail slide, the lubrication system delivers a fixed amount of lubricating oil to the guide rail slider at a regular interval, so that the lubricating oil forms an oil film on the contact surface of the guide rail slider, thereby reducing the friction and wear of the guide rail slider. However, in actual applications, due to the different operating conditions and trajectories of the floor rail slide, the guide rail slider consumes different amounts of lubricating oil. Therefore, when the subsequent lubrication system replenishes the lubricating oil, it is very easy to cause too much or too little lubricating oil on the guide rail slider.

The automated welding and cutting equipment can be mounted on the bottom plate 7. A lubricating oil pump 6 matching the self-lubricating slider 4 is mounted on the upper end of the bottom plate 7.

[0040] A double-ear oil storage block 8 is embedded inside the self-lubricating slider 4, and the double-ear oil storage block 8 cooperates with the lubricating oil pump 6.

[0045] An offset oil control plate 94 is fixedly connected inside the oil introduction cylinder 91, and a floating oil plate 95 is slidably arranged inside the oil introduction cylinder 91 and is located on the upper side of the offset oil control plate 94. The floating oil plate 95 cooperates with the upper limit contact block 93, and a pair of guide trigger rods 96 that cooperate with the lower limit contact block 97 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the floating oil plate 95;

[0046] A plurality of bottom oil suction strips 92 are embedded at the upper end of the oil introduction cylinder 91, and the upper end of the bottom oil suction strip 92 extends to the outside of the self-lubricating slider 4 and abuts against the lower end of the linear guide rail 2. The lower end of the bottom oil suction strip 92 extends to the lower side of the offset oil control plate 94 through the sliding hole. The length of the lower end of the bottom oil suction strip 92 extending to the inside of the oil introduction cylinder 91 is 0.7 to 0.8 times the distance between the upper inner wall of the oil introduction cylinder 91 and the upper end of the offset oil control plate 94. The setting of the bottom oil suction strip 92 can penetrate the upper limit contact block 93 in the oil introduction cylinder 91 into the self-lubricating On the slider 4, it can achieve effective lubrication by sliding cooperation with the linear guide rail 2. Through the floating effect of the lubricating oil 63 on the floating oil plate 95, the real-time display of the lubricating oil 63 content in the oil guide cylinder 91 is effectively realized, and the monitoring of the amount of lubricating oil 63 is effectively promoted, so as to realize the subsequent adaptive effect of the lubricating oil 63 replenishment. While reducing the loss of lubricating oil 63 and saving costs, it can also effectively improve the accuracy of lubricating oil 63 replenishment and avoid operating problems caused by too much or too little oil.

Three reserved square grooves are provided at the left and right ends of the support seat respectively, and a reserved mounting hole is provided on the lower inner wall of the reserved square groove. The setting of the adjustable bolt support foot can effectively facilitate the adjustment of the installation height of the double-ear base 1, increase the environmental adaptability and adjustability of the double-ear base 1 when it is used, and the setting of the reserved square groove and the reserved mounting hole can effectively realize the subsequent splicing and installation of the double-ear base 1, and can be suitable for application places with different specifications.

[0056] Figure 1 - Fig.10 In the process of local rail slide application, the technician inputs parameter data about lubricating oil 63 into the self-lubricating control processing unit through the transmission access port and lubrication parameter setting unit of the slide controller, and the parameter data includes but is not limited to the single replenishment amount of lubricating oil 63, the driving amount when the lubricating oil 63 is replenished, the replenishment cycle of lubricating oil 63 and the service life of lubricating oil 63 and other related data, and also inputs driving instructions into the self-lubricating control processing unit through the transmission access port and driving instruction unit of the slide controller, and the driving instructions include but are not limited to the movement instruction data of the ground rail slide to drive the automatic welding and cutting equipment, the movement route data of the automatic welding and cutting equipment, the driving slide lubrication action instruction data, the reset instruction data and the start-stop instruction data;

[0057] When the ground rail slide is initially started, the self-lubricating control processing unit will first send self-replenishing data to the self-lubricating replenishing unit, so that the self-lubricating replenishing unit controls the action of the lubricating oil pump 6 and the multi-way oil distributor 61, and delivers lubricating oil 63 to the double-ear oil storage block 8 set inside the linear guide 2 through the oil-passing embedded tube 81. The lubricating oil 63 enters the oil introduction cylinder 91 through the double-ear oil storage block 8, and continuously acts on the floating oil plate 95, so that the floating oil plate 95 produces a floating upward movement, causing the floating oil plate 95 to drive the guide trigger rod 96 to move upward, and no longer trigger the lower limit contact block 97. When the floating oil plate 95 moves to contact the upper limit contact block 93, the upper limit contact block 93 and the lower limit contact block 97 are both triggered at this time, so the normal oil quantity trigger module is triggered by the double disconnection signal, and sends data to the self-lubricating control processing unit. After the subsequent continuous input of lubricating oil 63, the floating oil plate 95 continues to move upward to trigger the upper limit contact block 93. , so that the oil quantity upper limit trigger module is triggered, and an upper limit trigger signal is sent to the self-lubricating control processing unit, so that the self-lubricating control processing unit turns off the lubricating oil pump 6 and the multi-way oil distributor 61 through the self-lubricating replenishing unit. At the same time, the self-lubricating control processing unit can judge the replenishment amount data of the lubricating oil 63 transmitted by the lubrication parameter setting unit according to the data fed back by the oil quantity upper limit trigger module and the oil quantity normal trigger module, and iteratively compensate it, so as to facilitate the accuracy of replenishing the lubricating oil 63 in the subsequent rail slide application process. After the lubricating oil 63 is replenished, since the floating oil plate 95 floats away from the offset oil control plate 94, the lubricating oil 63 passes through the offset oil control plate 94 and enters the upper end of the offset oil control plate 94, and can be absorbed by the bottom oil absorption strip 92 and transmitted to the contact position between the upper end of the self-lubricating slider 4 and the linear guide 2, so as to achieve the lubrication effect on the contact surface between the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4;

[0058] After the self-lubricating control processing unit completes the replenishment of the lubricating oil 63, it will also send a control instruction to the slide drive unit, so that it controls the slide drive mechanism 5 to produce a movement, drive the self-lubricating slider 4 to produce a reciprocating movement on the linear guide 2, and evenly apply the lubricating oil 63 to the contact surface between the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4, so as to ensure the smoothness and stability of the subsequent sliding cooperation between the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4.

[0059] After receiving the driving instruction transmitted by the driving instruction unit, the subsequent self-lubricating control processing unit transmits the driving control data to the slide drive unit, so that the slide drive unit controls the slide drive mechanism 5 to produce an action, and drives the automatic welding and cutting equipment located on the bottom plate 7 to move through the cooperation of the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4. The lubricating oil 63 in the oil introduction cylinder 91 is continuously transmitted to the upper end of the self-lubricating slider 4 through the bottom oil suction strip 92. As the lubricating oil 63 is continuously consumed, the amount of lubricating oil 63 in the oil introduction cylinder 91 is continuously reduced, causing the floating oil plate 95 to move downward synchronously with the decrease in the liquid level of the lubricating oil 63, and then disconnects the trigger of the upper limit contact block 93. At this time, the oil volume normal trigger module is double-disconnected and triggered, and a signal is sent to the self-lubricating control processing unit. The self-lubricating control processing unit determines that the amount of lubricating oil 63 is reduced at this time, but within the normal range, the bottom oil suction strip 92 can still continue to transmit lubricating oil 63 to the upper end of the self-lubricating slider 4, but as the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4 continue to move, the lubricating oil 63 is continuously reduced, causing the floating oil plate 95 to move to contact the offset oil control plate 94, and the guide trigger rod 96 is driven by the floating oil plate 95 to trigger the lower limit contact block 97, so that the oil lower limit trigger module sends a lower limit trigger signal to the self-lubricating control processing unit. After receiving the lower limit trigger data, the self-lubricating control processing unit determines that the amount of lubricating oil 63 in the linear guide 2 is small at this time and cannot achieve the effect of continuous lubrication, and then sends a control instruction to the self-lubricating replenishing unit. Even if it is not within the originally set lubricating oil 63 automatic replenishment cycle at this time, the self-lubricating replenishing unit sends a control instruction to the lubricating oil pump 6 and the multi-way oil distributor 61 according to the instruction, so that the lubricating oil pump 6 is started, and the multi-way oil distributor 61 conducts the lubricating branch pipe 62 of the linear guide 2 at the corresponding position, so that the lubricating oil 63 can enter the double-ear oil storage block 8 and the oil amount sensing component 9 through the cooperation of the lubricating branch pipe 62 and the oil-passing embedded pipe 81, and then after the self-lubricating control processing unit receives the upper limit data sent by the oil upper limit trigger module, the replenishment of the lubricating oil 63 is completed;

[0060] During the process of the self-lubricating control processing unit controlling the slide drive mechanism 5 through the slide drive unit to drive the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4 to slide and cooperate and after the action is completed, due to the continuous loss of lubricating oil 63, the self-lubricating control processing unit will be able to receive the double disconnection signal data sent by the normal oil trigger module, and then after the lubricating oil 63 is replenished to reach the replenishment cycle, the lubricating oil 63 is replenished into the linear guide 2 with the normal oil trigger module transmitting the signal, and the oil level reaches the upper limit trigger module and stops when the trigger module is triggered, so as to ensure the sufficiency and effectiveness of the lubricating oil 63 and avoid mechanical damage between the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4 due to the subsequent lack of lubricating oil 63; and in the subsequent process of re-replenishing the lubricating oil 63 or continuously monitoring the amount of the lubricating oil 63, the self-lubricating control processing unit will synchronously transmit the data signal transmitted by the lubricating oil data acquisition unit to the lubrication safety assurance unit, and the lubrication safety assurance unit will control the amount of the lubricating oil 63 replenished by the self-lubricating control processing unit according to the control data , judge the signal transmitted by the lubricating oil data collection unit, and when it is judged that the trigger signal sent by the lubricating oil data collection unit to the self-lubricating control processing unit remains unchanged or the amount of lubricating oil 63 changes abnormally, that is, the signal transmitted by the normal oil trigger module continues, or the signal transmitted by the upper limit oil trigger module continues, or the signal transmitted by the lower limit oil tank trigger module continues, or the lower limit oil trigger module is triggered when replenishing the lubricating oil 63, the lubrication safety assurance unit determines that the monitoring data is abnormal at this time, and sends a safety assurance instruction to the slide drive unit, the self-lubricating replenishment unit and the data abnormality warning module, so that the slide drive unit controls the slide drive mechanism 5 to stop working, and the self-lubricating replenishment unit turns off the lubricating oil pump 6 and the multi-way oil distributor 61, and performs emergency protection on the ground rail slide to avoid damage to the ground rail slide and ensure its operation safety. At the same time, the data abnormality warning module will send instructions to the PC and the alarm through the transmission communication port, which can effectively send warning signals to the maintenance personnel and improve the emergency response speed of the maintenance personnel.

[0061] During the operation of the self-lubricating control processing unit, it will transmit the control data to the PC through the data display transmission module and the transmission communication port, so that technicians or maintenance personnel can effectively obtain the data during the actual operation of the slide rail platform, which is convenient for the control of the slide rail platform.

[0062] Second implementation method:

[0063] Figure 1 - Fig.10The invention shows a floor rail slide for automated welding and cutting equipment. Based on the first embodiment, the upper ends of the double-ear oil storage block 8 are fixedly mounted with lateral lubrication components 10. The lateral lubrication components 10 include lateral lubrication cylinders 1001 fixedly mounted on the upper ends of the double-ear oil storage block 8. The ends of the front and rear side lubrication cylinders 1001 close to each other are embedded with lateral oil suction strips 1002. The ends of the front and rear side oil suction strips 1002 close to each other extend to the outside of the self-lubricating slider 4 and abut against the side of the linear guide rail 2. The ends of the front and rear side oil suction strips 1002 far away from each other extend into the lateral lubrication cylinders 1001 at corresponding positions.

[0064] The side lubrication cylinder 1001 is filled with an oil absorption filler 1003 that cooperates with the side oil absorption strip 1002. The double-ear oil storage block 8 is fixedly installed with an oil absorption strip 1004, and the oil absorption strip 1004 is located at the upper side of the double-ear oil storage block 8. The front and rear ends of the oil absorption strip 1004 extend into the corresponding side oil absorption strip 1002 respectively, and cooperate with the oil absorption filler 1003. The setting of the side lubrication component 10 can increase the lubrication effect on the mating contact surface of the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4, and further promote the stability of the sliding fit between the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4 by increasing the lubrication of the front and rear guide surfaces. In addition, when the lubricating oil on the oil quantity sensing component 9 cannot be replenished in time, the friction damage between the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4 can be effectively reduced through the lubrication effect of the front and rear sides.

[0065] Figure 1 - Fig.10 It is shown that after the lubricating oil 63 is filled into the double-ear oil storage block 8, the oil absorption strip 1004 will absorb and guide the lubricating oil 63 and transfer it to the oil absorption filler 1003. The side oil absorption strip 1002 absorbs the lubricating oil 63 in the oil absorption filler 1003, so that the lubricating oil 63 can move to the front and rear sides where the self-lubricating slider 4 cooperates with the linear guide 2, thereby achieving further lubrication of the linear guide 2 and the self-lubricating slider 4.

[0066] In view of current practical needs, the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to the scope of protection. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
