DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0048] See also Figure 1-13 This embodiment provides a method for processing a hardware slide rail, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S100, bending and / or rolling the metal sheet to obtain the inner slide rail 1 and the outer slide rail 2;

[0050] S200, pressing the ball 32 into the mounting frame 31 to obtain the manufactured ball rack 3;

[0051] S300, pushing the ball bearing rack 3 and the inner slide rail 1 into the outer slide rail and performing shaping and compacting treatment to obtain a finished hardware slide rail.

[0052] It is understandable that, in this embodiment, by bending and / or rolling the metal sheet, the inner slide rail 1 and the outer slide rail 2 having a specific shape and structure can be formed. Through the shaping and compacting process, the tight fit between the inner slide rail 1, the outer slide rail 2 and the ball cage 3 can be ensured, thereby improving the sliding performance and stability of the slide rail. This embodiment can significantly improve the production efficiency of the hardware slide rail. Compared with the traditional manual operation method, the processing process of this embodiment is faster and more accurate.

[0053] Furthermore, the inner slide rail 1 manufactured in step S100 includes: an inner slide rail body, and a first flat plate portion 11, a first bent portion 12, and a second bent portion 13 arranged on the inner slide rail body, wherein the first bent portion 12 is formed by bending both side edges of the first flat plate portion 11 in the same direction, and the second bent portion 13 is formed by bending one side edge of the first bent portion 12 away from the first flat plate portion 11 toward the angle between the first flat plate portion 11 and the first bent portion 12; wherein a side surface of the first bent portion 12 facing away from the second bent portion 13 is rolled along the length direction to form a first recessed groove 121, and the first recessed groove 121 is used to abut against the ball 32. By arranging the first flat portion 11 and the first bent portion 12 and the second bent portion 13 on the inner slide rail body, the overall strength and stability of the inner slide rail 1 can be enhanced, so that it is not easy to be deformed or damaged during use. By rolling the first recessed groove 121 on the first bent portion 12, precise matching with the ball 32 can be achieved, thereby improving the sliding smoothness and load capacity of the slide rail.

[0054] Furthermore, the outer slide rail 2 manufactured in step S100 includes: an outer slide rail body, and a second flat plate portion 21, a third bent portion 22, and a fourth bent portion 23 arranged on the outer slide rail body, wherein the third bent portion 22 is formed by bending both sides of the second flat plate portion 21 in the same direction, and the fourth bent portion 23 is formed by bending one side of the third bent portion 22 away from the second flat plate portion 21 away from the angle between the second flat plate portion 21 and the third bent portion 22, and the third bent portion 22 and the second flat plate portion 21 enclose a mounting cavity for mounting the ball cage 3 and the inner slide rail 1; wherein a side of the third bent portion 22 away from the fourth bent portion 23 is rolled along the length direction to form a second recessed groove 221, and the second recessed groove 221 is used to abut against the ball 32. By arranging the second flat plate portion 21, the third bent portion 22, and the fourth bent portion 23 on the outer slide rail body, a stable mounting cavity can be formed to provide reliable support for the ball cage 3 and the inner slide rail 1. This structural design helps to improve the deformation resistance and overall stability of the slide rail. The second recessed groove 221 on the third bending portion 22 forms a precise fit with the ball 32, which can reduce the friction resistance and noise during the sliding process and improve the sliding efficiency and load transfer capacity of the slide rail.

[0055] Specifically, in step S200, the mounting frame 31 is provided with a plurality of ball holes 313, the ball holes 313 have an inlet 311 and a limiting opening 312, the ball 32 is placed into the ball hole 313 through the inlet 311, the diameter of the limiting opening 312 is less than or equal to the maximum diameter of the ball 32, and the limiting opening 312 is used to limit the movement of the ball 32 passing through the limiting opening 312. It can be understood that the design of the inlet 311 allows the ball 32 to easily enter the ball hole 313 during the assembly process, and the diameter of the limiting opening 312 is less than or equal to the maximum diameter of the ball 32, which ensures that once the ball 32 enters the ball hole 313, it cannot easily escape from the limiting opening 312, thereby achieving stable fixation of the ball 32. It should be explained that the design of the limiting opening 312 should also take into account the force of the ball 32 during the movement process, to ensure that it can maintain a good rolling state when the slide rail is working. When the ball 32 is placed through the insertion port 311 and completely enters the ball hole 313, since the diameter of the limiting port 312 is less than or equal to the maximum diameter of the ball 32, the ball 32 cannot escape from the limiting port 312, thereby achieving stable positioning of the ball 32 and ensuring the stable position and good rolling state of the ball 32 in the slide rail, thereby improving the sliding performance of the slide rail and reducing noise and wear.

[0056] Furthermore, the step S300 includes:

[0057] S310, pushing the ball rack 3 into the installation cavity of the outer slide rail 2, and making the side of the ball rack 3 provided with the introduction port 311 face the second recessed groove 221;

[0058] S320, push the inner slide rail 1 into the installation cavity of the outer slide rail 2, and clamp the ball cage 3 between the first recessed groove 121 and the second recessed groove 221.

[0059] During the assembly process of this embodiment, it is first necessary to ensure that the ball rack 3 can be correctly pushed into the installation cavity of the outer slide rail 2, and the side with the introduction port 311 is facing the second recessed groove 221. This is because the balls 32 on the ball rack 3 need to cooperate with the second recessed groove 221 through the introduction port 311 to realize the sliding function of the slide rail. Next, the inner slide rail 1 needs to be pushed into the installation cavity and clamped between the first recessed groove 121 and the second recessed groove 221. This step ensures a close fit between the inner slide rail 1, the ball rack 3 and the outer slide rail 2, thereby improving the overall performance and stability of the slide rail.

[0060] Specifically, in step S200, the ball rack processing device 4 is used for execution. The ball rack processing device 4 includes: a positioning base 41, a primary driving mechanism 42, a secondary driving mechanism 43 and a plurality of adsorption components 44. The positioning base 41 is used to limit the mounting frame 31 placed thereon, the primary driving mechanism 42 is used to drive the secondary driving mechanism 43 to move above the positioning base 41 and drive the secondary driving mechanism 43 to press down close to the positioning base 41, the secondary driving mechanism 43 is used to drive the plurality of adsorption components 44 to be arranged at specified intervals, and the adsorption components 44 are used to vacuum adsorb the balls 32. In a feasible action process, the mounting frame 31 is first placed on the positioning base 41, and the limiting function of the positioning base 41 is used to ensure that the position of the mounting frame 31 is stable and accurate; then the primary driving mechanism 42 is started, driving the secondary driving mechanism 43 and the adsorption component 44 to move to the top of the positioning base 41, and the secondary driving mechanism 43 adjusts the interval between the adsorption components 44 according to the preset program to match the position of the ball hole 313 on the mounting frame 31; then the adsorption component 44 starts the vacuum adsorption function to move the ball 32 It is firmly adsorbed on the component. At this time, the ball 32 can be installed into the ball hole 313 of the mounting frame 31; then, the primary drive mechanism 42 drives the secondary drive mechanism 43 and the adsorption component 44 to press down, so that the ball 32 enters the ball hole 313 through the introduction port 311. When the ball 32 enters the ball hole 313, the adsorption component 44 releases the vacuum adsorption, and the ball 32 is fixed in the ball hole 313. Then, the primary drive mechanism 42 and the secondary drive mechanism 43 drive the adsorption component 44 to reset, and prepare for the installation of the next ball 32.

[0061] Specifically, a positioning groove is provided on the positioning base 41, and the positioning groove is used to place the installation frame 31; the primary driving mechanism 42 is a six-axis robotic arm, which is used to drive the secondary driving mechanism 43 to displace and / or rotate, and the six-axis robotic arm includes a base, a first rotating arm, a second rotating arm, a third rotating arm, a fourth rotating arm, a fifth rotating arm and a sixth rotating arm. A first driving motor is provided between the first rotating arm and the base to drive the first rotating arm to rotate relative to the base; a second driving motor is provided between the second rotating arm and the first rotating arm to drive the second rotating arm to rotate relative to the first rotating arm; a third driving motor is provided between the third rotating arm and the second rotating arm to drive the third rotating arm to rotate relative to the second rotating arm; a fourth driving motor is provided between the fourth rotating arm and the third rotating arm to drive the fourth rotating arm to rotate relative to the third rotating arm; and a fourth rotating arm is provided between the fifth rotating arm and the fourth rotating arm A fifth driving motor is arranged between the sixth rotating arm and the fifth rotating arm to drive the fifth rotating arm to rotate relative to the fourth rotating arm; a sixth driving motor is arranged between the sixth rotating arm and the fifth rotating arm to drive the sixth rotating arm to rotate relative to the fifth rotating arm, and the secondary driving mechanism 43 is connected to the end of the sixth rotating arm; the secondary driving mechanism 43 is a linear motor with multiple movers, and the multiple movers of the linear motor are connected to the multiple adsorption components 44 in a one-to-one correspondence; the adsorption component 44 includes an adsorption block 441 and a vacuum generating device 442, the adsorption block 441 and the vacuum generating device 442 are both fixed on the corresponding movers, a vacuum chamber is arranged in the adsorption block 441, the suction end of the vacuum generating device 442 is connected to the vacuum chamber, a spherical groove 4411 is concavely arranged on the lower side of the adsorption block 441, and a vent is opened on the groove wall of the spherical groove 4411, and the vent is connected between the vacuum chamber and the spherical groove 4411. In this embodiment, the six-axis robot arm can achieve displacement and rotation in six directions through six rotating arms and corresponding driving motors, thereby meeting the complex three-dimensional space operation requirements. The linear motor can precisely control the position and speed of multiple adsorption components 44 through the synchronous movement of multiple movers. The adsorption component 44 uses the vacuum adsorption principle to firmly adsorb the ball 32 on the adsorption block 441 through the negative pressure generated by the vacuum generating device 442, and is connected to the vacuum chamber through the vent hole to ensure the stability of the ball 32 during the adsorption process.

[0062] Furthermore, the ball rack processing device 4 also includes a first CCD (charge coupled device) camera and a second CCD camera. The first CCD camera is used to detect the arrangement of the ball holes 313 on the mounting frame 31, and the second CCD camera is used to detect the position of the mounting frame 31 on the positioning base 41. By introducing the first CCD camera and the second CCD camera, accurate detection and positioning of the mounting frame 31 and the ball holes 313 can be achieved, thereby ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the installation of the balls 32.

[0063] Furthermore, the step S200 includes:

[0064] S210, acquiring image data of the first CCD camera, and controlling the secondary driving mechanism 43 to work according to the image data of the first CCD camera, so that the plurality of movers on the secondary driving mechanism 43 and the plurality of ball holes 313 on the mounting frame 31 are arranged in the same manner;

[0065] S220, acquiring image data of the second CCD camera, and controlling the primary driving mechanism 42 to work according to the image data of the second CCD camera, so that the primary driving mechanism 42 drives the secondary driving mechanism 43 to move onto the mounting frame 31 and align with it;

[0066] S230 , controlling the adsorption assembly 44 to stop working, so that the plurality of balls 32 fall into the plurality of ball holes 313 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the first CCD camera and the second CCD camera are used to take images of the mounting frame 31 and the ball hole 313, respectively, and extract key information such as the arrangement of the ball hole 313, the position and posture of the mounting frame 31, etc. through image processing algorithms. This information is transmitted to the control system, and the control system controls the operation of the primary drive mechanism 42 and the secondary drive mechanism 43 according to this information to achieve accurate positioning and movement of the adsorption component 44. Finally, by controlling the working state of the adsorption component 44, the ball 32 falls into the ball hole 313. In step S210, the first CCD camera captures an image of the ball holes 313 on the mounting frame 31 and transmits the image data to the control system. The control system identifies the arrangement of the ball holes 313, including information such as the number, position, size and shape of the ball holes 313, based on the image data captured by the first CCD camera through an image processing algorithm. According to the arrangement of the ball holes 313, the control system controls the secondary drive mechanism 43 to operate so that the arrangement of the multiple movers on the secondary drive mechanism 43 is the same as that of the ball holes 313, that is, the spacing and position between the movers are adjusted to match the layout of the ball holes 313. In step S220, the second CCD camera captures an image of the mounting frame 31 on the positioning base 41, and transmits the image data to the control system. The control system analyzes the position and posture of the mounting frame 31 through an image processing algorithm based on the image data captured by the second CCD camera. According to the analysis result, the control system controls the primary drive mechanism 42 to work, so that the primary drive mechanism 42 drives the secondary drive mechanism 43 to move to the top of the mounting frame 31, and adjusts its position and posture so that the adsorption component 44 is aligned with the ball hole 313. In step S230, after the adsorption component 44 is aligned with the ball hole 313, the control system controls the primary drive mechanism 42 and the secondary drive mechanism 43 to work together, so that the adsorption component 44 carries the ball 32 and is pressed down to the position of the ball hole 313. When the ball 32 contacts the ball hole 313, the control system controls the adsorption component 44 to stop working, releases the vacuum adsorption, and causes the ball 32 to fall into the ball hole 313. The entire ball 32 installation process is automatically completed by the control system without manual intervention, thereby improving the automation level of the production line.
