Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a slide rail mechanism, in particular to a slide rail assembly with a handle for users to conveniently operate the slide rail displacement. Background Art

[0002] For example, U.S. Patent No. US10,631,639B2 discloses a slide rail assembly including a first rail, a second rail, a stopper and an operating member. The second rail and the first rail can be displaced longitudinally relative to each other; the stopper is attached to the first rail; the operating member can be in a predetermined state relative to the second rail; when the second rail is in a position relative to the first rail, the second rail can be blocked by the stopper through the operating member being in the predetermined state, so as to prevent the second rail from being displaced in a direction from the position; when the operating member is not in the predetermined state, the operating member is no longer blocked by the stopper, so as to allow the second rail to be displaced in the direction from the position. The operating member is pivotally connected to the second rail through an axis member, and since the configuration direction of the axis member is substantially the same as the lateral direction (or transverse direction) of the second rail, when the operating member is operated by the user, the operating member pivots in the height direction of the slide rail.

[0003] However, in order to meet the diversified needs of the market, how to develop a different slide rail product has obviously become an issue that cannot be ignored. Summary of the invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a slide rail assembly having a handle which can facilitate users to operate the slide rail displacement.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, and a handle. The second rail can move relative to the first rail; the handle is pivotally connected to the second rail through a shaft member so that the handle can move between a first state and a second state; wherein the configuration direction of the shaft member is substantially the same as the displacement direction of the second rail relative to the first rail.

[0006] According to another aspect of the present invention, a slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, and a handle. The second rail can be displaced relative to the first rail; the handle can be movable relative to the second rail, and the handle can be movable between a first state and a second state; wherein the second rail has an outer side and an inner side that are opposite to each other, and the outer side of the second rail is adjacent to the first rail; wherein the handle includes a first end, a second end, and a gripping section connected between the first end and the second end; when the handle is in the second state, the gripping section of the handle exceeds the inner side of the second rail by a predetermined distance.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a slide rail assembly 20 of the first embodiment of the present invention. The slide rail assembly 20 includes a first rail 22, a second rail 24 and a handle 26, and preferably, further includes a third rail 28 movably installed between the first rail 22 and the second rail 24. The second rail 24 can be in a retracted position R relative to the first rail 22, and the second rail 24 can be longitudinally displaced relative to the first rail 22. In this embodiment, the X-axis direction is the longitudinal direction (or the length direction or displacement direction of the slide rail), the Y-axis direction is the transverse direction (or the lateral direction of the slide rail), and the Z-axis direction is the vertical direction (or the height direction of the slide rail).

[0027] The handle 26 can move relative to the second rail 24. Further, the handle 26 is pivotally connected to the second rail 24 through a shaft 30, so that the handle 26 can be in a first state S1 (such as Figure 1 ) and a second state S2 (as shown Figure 2) between the handle 26 and the first rail 22. The configuration direction of the shaft 30 is substantially the same as the displacement direction of the second rail 24 relative to the first rail 22. In other words, the configuration direction of the shaft 30 is substantially the same as the length direction of the second rail 24, for example, both are longitudinal (for example, the X-axis direction). Further, when the handle 26 is in the second state S2, the user can apply a force F in an opening direction D1 to the handle 26 (for example, the user can hold the handle 26 with his hand to facilitate the application of the force F, as shown). Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the second rail 24 can be easily pulled out toward the opening direction D1 relative to the first rail 22 .

[0028] Preferably, when the handle 26 is in the first state S1 (eg Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 2 , the configuration direction of the handle 26 is substantially the same as a height direction (eg, Z-axis direction) of the second rail 24 .

[0029] Preferably, when the handle 26 is in the second state S2 (eg Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 2 , the configuration direction of the handle 26 is substantially the same as a side direction (eg, the Y-axis direction) of the second rail 24 .

[0030] Preferably, the displacement direction of the second rail 24 relative to the first rail 22 , the height direction and the lateral direction of the second rail 24 are perpendicular to each other.

[0031] Preferably, the second rail 24 has an outer side L1 and an inner side L2 that are opposite to each other, and the outer side L1 is adjacent to or faces the first rail 22 (or the third rail 28). Further, the first rail 22 has a first end 22a and a second end 22b that are opposite to each other, such as a front end and a rear end; similarly, the second rail 24 has a first end 24a and a second end 24b that are opposite to each other, such as a front end and a rear end.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first rail 22 may be provided with a bracket 25, and the bracket 25 is connected (e.g., fixedly connected) to the first rail 22 and is considered as a whole with the first rail 22. Preferably, the first rail 22 includes a stopper 19, and the stopper 19 is arranged on one of the first rail 22 and the bracket 25. Here, the stopper 19 is arranged on an extension member 17 on the bracket 25 as an example, and the stopper 19 is adjacent to the first end 22a of the first rail 22.

[0033] The handle 26 can be in the first state S1 (eg Figure 3 ) and the second state S2 (as shown Figure 4The handle 26 includes a first end 26a, a second end 26b, and a gripping section 26c connected between the first end 26a and the second end 26b (as shown). Figure 3 2. The shaft 30 is adjacent to the first end 26a of the handle 26. The handle 26 is pivotally connected to a connecting member 32 on the second rail 24 through the shaft 30. The connecting member 32 is connected (e.g., fixedly connected) to the second rail 24 and is considered as one with the second rail 24. When the handle 26 is in the second state S2, the gripping section 26c of the handle 26 is used to allow the user to pull the second rail 24 out from the folded position R toward the opening direction D1 relative to the first rail 22 (this part can be referred to in conjunction with Figure 4 and Figure 2 ).

[0034] Preferably, the slide rail assembly 20 further includes an elastic member 33 (eg Figure 3 The handle 26 can be kept in the first state S1 in response to the elastic force of the elastic member 33. The elastic member 33 is, for example, a torsion spring, but any object having elasticity can be used in practice. The elastic member 33 includes a first elastic section 33a, a second elastic section 33b (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 2 and 3. As shown in FIG. 2 , a middle section 33c is located between the first elastic section 33a and the second elastic section 33b. The middle section 33c is, for example, mounted on the body of the shaft member 30; the first elastic section 33a contacts the handle 26, and the second elastic section 33b contacts the connecting member 32 on the second rail 24; or the second elastic section 33b contacts the handle 26, and the first elastic section 33a contacts the connecting member 32 on the second rail 24.

[0035] Preferably, the slide rail assembly 20 further includes a lock 34 movably mounted on the second rail 24. Here, taking the example of the lock 34 being pivotally connected to the connecting member 32 on the second rail 24 through an auxiliary shaft 36 (the lock 34 can be regarded as being pivotally connected to the second rail 24), the configuration direction of the auxiliary shaft 36 is substantially the same as the lateral direction of the second rail 24 (for example, the Y-axis direction mentioned above); when the second rail 24 is in the retracted position R relative to the first rail 22, a lock portion 38 of the lock 34 is used to lock the stop portion 19 to prevent the second rail 24 from leaving the retracted position R relative to the first rail 22 (for example, Figure 3 shown).

[0036] Preferably, the handle 26 includes a supporting feature 40, and the supporting feature 40 includes a guiding portion (e.g., an inclined surface or a curved surface); when the second rail 24 is in the retracted position R relative to the first rail 22, and the handle 26 is in the first state S1, the handle 26 supports the locking element 34 through the supporting feature 40, so that the locking portion 38 of the locking element 34 locks the blocking portion 19 (e.g., Figure 3shown).

[0037] Preferably, the handle 26 further includes a guide feature 42, the guide feature 42 is, for example, an inclined surface or a curved surface, and a predetermined space K is defined between the guide feature 42 and the support feature 40 to accommodate an extension portion 44 of the lock 34, so that the support feature 40 of the handle 26 supports the extension portion 44 of the lock 34, wherein the auxiliary shaft 36 is located between the lock portion 38 and the extension portion 44 (e.g. Figure 3 shown).

[0038] Preferably, when the handle 26 is changed from the first state S1 (eg Figure 3 and Figure 3A As shown) moves to the second state S2 (as shown Figure 4 and Figure 4A During the process of locking, the handle 26 can contact the extension 44 of the lock 34 through the guide feature 42 to drive the lock 34 to pivot to a predetermined angle (such as Figure 3 and Figure 3A ), and the support feature 40 of the handle 26 no longer supports the extension 44 of the lock 34, so that the lock portion 38 of the lock 34 no longer locks the stopper 19, so as to allow the second rail 24 to move away from the folded position R relative to the first rail 22 in the opening direction D1 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 4A shown).

[0039] Preferably, the first rail 22 is provided with an auxiliary structure 46. Here, the auxiliary structure 46 is provided on the bracket 25 of the first rail 22, and the auxiliary structure 46 is a pin, but the implementation is not limited thereto. The auxiliary structure 46 protrudes laterally (transversely) relative to the first rail 22. The second rail 24 is provided with an auxiliary elastic member 48, and a first predetermined feature 50 is configured on the auxiliary elastic member 48, and the handle 26 is provided with a second predetermined feature 52. The first predetermined feature 50 and the second predetermined feature 52 are, for example, a combination of a convex portion and a concave portion (space or hole). Here, the first predetermined feature 50 is a fixing bolt, and the fixing bolt has an extended convex portion 50a, and the second predetermined feature 52 is a hole, but the implementation is not limited thereto. In addition, in this embodiment, the auxiliary elastic member 48 is connected to the connecting member 32 on the second rail 24 as an example.

[0040] When the second rail 24 is in the retracted position R relative to the first rail 22 and the handle 26 is in the second state S2 (eg Figure 4 and Figure 4A As shown), the auxiliary structure 46 and the auxiliary elastic member 48 are offset, and the auxiliary elastic member 48 accumulates an elastic force f, so that the first predetermined feature 50 (the extended protrusion 50a of the fixing bolt) and the second predetermined feature 52 (hole) cannot be locked with each other (as shown in FIG. Figure 4and Figure 4A shown).

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the second rail 24 moves relative to the first rail 22 from the retracted position R (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 4A ) moves a predetermined distance toward the opening direction D1 to an extended position E (as shown Figure 5 and Figure 5A ), the auxiliary structure 46 and the auxiliary elastic member 48 no longer abut against each other, so that the first predetermined feature 50 responds to the auxiliary elastic member 48 releasing the elastic force f and can engage with the second predetermined feature 52. For example, the first predetermined feature 50 (the extended protrusion 50a of the fixing bolt) penetrates into the second predetermined feature 52 (hole) to keep the handle 26 in the second state S2 (as shown). Figure 5 and Figure 5A In other words, the elastic member 33 can be kept in a state of accumulating an elastic force by the first predetermined feature 50 and the second predetermined feature 52 being engaged with each other.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the auxiliary elastic member 48 is provided with a guide section 54 (eg, an inclined surface or an arc surface); when the second rail 24 is relative to the first rail 22 from the extended position E (eg, Figure 5 and Figure 5A As shown) to a folding direction D2 (as shown Figure 6 During the process of moving to the above-mentioned folded position R, the auxiliary elastic member 48 is driven by the mutual contact between the guide section 54 and the auxiliary structure 46 on the first rail 22 (please refer to the following for this part) Figure 6 and Figure 4 ), so that the first predetermined feature 50 (the extended protrusion 50a of the fixing bolt) is released from the second predetermined feature 52 (the hole) (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 4A ), to allow the handle 26 to be moved from the second state S2 (as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 4A As shown) returns to the first state S1 (as shown Figure 3 and Figure 3A Preferably, the handle 26 can return from the second state S2 to the first state S1 in response to the elastic member 33 releasing the elastic force. When the handle 26 returns from the second state S2 to the first state S1, the support feature 40 of the handle 26 can contact the extension portion 44 of the lock 34 through its own guide portion (such as an inclined surface or an arc surface) to drive the lock 34 back to the state of locking the stopper 19, so that the second rail 24 is locked again at the folded position R relative to the first rail 22 (such as Figure 3 and Figure 3A shown).

[0043] In addition, when the second rail 24 returns to the retracted position R relative to the first rail 22 (eg Figure 3 and Figure 3A As shown in FIG. 4 , the auxiliary structure 46 and the auxiliary elastic member 48 are again offset against each other, and the auxiliary elastic member 48 accumulates the elastic force f again.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, the slide rail assembly 20 can be applied to a rack 56 (or cabinet). For example, the first rail 22 can be mounted to at least one column of the rack 56 through the bracket 25, and the second rail 24 is usually used to carry a load (not shown). However, sometimes the type of the rack 56 is different, or there is a specific need, a part of the rack 56 (such as a wall 58) will block the outside of the slide rail assembly 20, therefore, the handle 26 provided by the embodiment of the present invention is pulled by the user to move from the first state S1 to the inside of the slide rail assembly 20 (for example, to the inside L2 of the second rail 24) to the second state S2, without being affected by the wall 58, so that the second rail 24 can be easily pulled out relative to the first rail 22 in the opening direction D1.

[0045] Furthermore, when the handle 26 is in the second state S2, the operating section 26c of the handle 26 exceeds the inner side L2 of the second rail 24 by a predetermined distance M. The user can hold the operating section 26c of the handle 26 by hand and apply a force F in the opening direction D1 to easily and conveniently pull the second rail 24 out from the folded position R toward the opening direction D1 relative to the first rail 22.

[0046] like Figures 8 to 12 The slide rail assembly 200 of the second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The difference between the slide rail assembly 200 of the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the structure of the handle 201.

[0047] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the handle 201 includes a first end 201a, a second end 201b, and an operating section 201c connected between the first end 201a and the second end 201b (as shown in FIG. Figures 8 to 9 Similar to the first embodiment, the handle 201 is pivotally connected to the second rail 204 via a shaft 203, so that the handle 201 can be in a first state S1' (eg Figure 8 ) and a second state S2' (as shown Fig. 9 The handle 201 is provided with a driving portion 206, such as a protrusion (such as Fig.10 Similar to the first embodiment, the first end 204a of the second rail 204 is connected to a connecting member 207 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8 or Fig. 9 ), the handle 201 is pivotally connected to the connecting member 207 on the second rail 204 through the shaft 203, the connecting member 207 is connected (for example, fixedly connected) to the second rail 204 and is considered as a whole with the second rail 204, and the connecting member 207 includes a shell 208, the shell 208 is covered with a lock 210 (as shown Fig.11 shown).

[0048] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the lock 210 is movably mounted on the second rail 204, wherein the lock 210 is pivotally connected to the second rail 204 (connecting member 207) via an auxiliary shaft 212. Different from the first embodiment, the configuration direction of the auxiliary shaft 212 of the second embodiment is substantially the same as the height direction of the second rail 204 (e.g., the Z-axis direction mentioned above).

[0049] Preferably, the slide rail assembly 200 further includes an elastic member 214 that can provide elastic force to the lock member 210. For example, the elastic member 214 is a spring sheet, but in practice, any member with elasticity is sufficient, and the implementation form of the elastic member 214 is not limited. The elastic member 214 includes an elastic portion 215 for providing elastic force to the lock member 210, so that the lock portion 216 of the lock member 210 can keep locking a stop section 219 (or a stop wall) of the stop portion 218 of the first rail 202 (or the bracket of the first rail 202), so as to prevent the second rail 204 from leaving the retracted position R relative to the first rail 202 (such as Fig.11 shown).

[0050] Preferably, through the elastic force of the elastic member 214, in addition to allowing the locking portion 216 of the lock member 210 to lock the blocking portion 218, the handle 201 can also be kept in the first state S1' through the contact between the driving portion 206 of the handle 201 and the lock member 210. In other words, the handle 201 can be in the first state S1' (such as Fig.11 shown).

[0051] Furthermore, when the handle 201 changes from the first state S1′ (eg Fig.11 As shown) moves to the second state S2' (as shown Fig.12 During the process of the handle 201 being opened, the driving portion 206 of the handle 201 drives the locking member 210 to pivot to a predetermined angle, so that the locking portion 216 of the locking member 210 no longer locks the blocking portion 218, so as to allow the second rail 204 to move away from the folded position R (as shown in the opening direction D1) relative to the first rail 202. Fig.12Preferably, the second rail 204 has a corresponding hole 220. When the lock 210 is pivoted to the predetermined angle, a portion of the lock 210 can extend into the corresponding hole 220, which helps the lock 210 to have room for movement.

[0052] When the handle 201 is in the second state S2', the operating section 201c of the handle 201 exceeds the inner side L2' of the second rail 204 by a predetermined distance M' (eg, Fig.12 As shown in FIG. 2 , the user can hold the operating section 201c of the handle 201 and apply force in the opening direction D1 to easily and conveniently pull the second rail 204 out from the folded position R toward the opening direction D1 relative to the first rail 202.

[0053] like Figures 13 to 15 The slide rail assembly 300 of the third embodiment of the present invention is shown. Fig.13 and Fig.15 The first rail 308 is omitted (the first rail 308 can be found in Fig.14 The difference between the slide rail assembly 300 of the third embodiment and the second embodiment is essentially that the slide rail assembly 300 further includes a working piece 302 and an elastic feature 304; the working piece 302 is pivotally connected to the second rail 306 via an axis 305, and the elastic feature 304 includes a first elastic portion 304a and a second elastic portion 304b.

[0054] When the second rail 306 is in the retracted position R relative to the first rail 308 (eg Fig.14 and Fig.13 ), the first elastic portion 304a of the elastic feature 304 contacts a predetermined structure 310 (eg, an inclined surface or a curved surface, such as Fig.14 ), and the second elastic portion 304b of the elastic feature 304 contacts the working piece 302 (as shown Fig.13 ), so that the working piece 302 and a portion of the handle 312 (such as the driving portion 314) support each other and the handle 312 is maintained in the first state S1' (such as Fig.13 and Fig.14 shown).

[0055] When the handle 312 changes from the first state S1' (such as Fig.13 ) to a first rotation direction R1 to the second state S2' (as shown Fig.15 During the process of rotating the handle 312 in a second rotation direction R2 through the working member 302, the locking member 316 is driven from a locked state J1' (as shown in FIG. Fig.13 and Fig.14 ) is pivoted to a third rotation direction R3 to an unlocked state J2' (as shown Fig.15), so that the lock member 316 (the lock portion 317 thereof) no longer locks the stop portion 318 on the first rail 308, so as to allow the second rail 306 to move from the folded position R to the opening direction D1 to leave the folded position R (as shown in FIG. Fig.14 It is worth mentioning that when the second rail 306 is in an extended position relative to the first rail 308, the handle 312 still maintains the second state S2', and the lock 316 maintains the unlocked state J2' (as shown in FIG. Fig.15 status shown).

[0056] When the second rail 306 moves from the extended position to the retracted direction D2 relative to the first rail 308 and returns to the retracted position R, the first elastic portion 304a of the elastic feature 304 contacts the predetermined structure 310 (eg, Fig.14 ), so that the work piece 302 and the handle 312 support each other again (as shown in Fig.13 ) and the handle 312 is changed from the second state S2' (as shown Fig.15 ) returns to the first state S1', wherein the lock member 316 returns to the locked state J1' (as shown) in response to the elastic force of the elastic portion 322 of the elastic member 320 Fig.13 and Fig.14 shown).

[0057] It can be seen from this that the slide rail assembly (20; 200) provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes the following features:

[0058] 1. The handle (26; 201) is pivotally connected to the second rail (24; 204) through a shaft (30; 203), so that the handle (26; 201) can move between a first state (S1, S1') and a second state (S2, S2'), wherein the configuration direction of the shaft (30; 203) and the displacement direction of the second rail (24; 204) relative to the first rail (22; 202) are substantially the same, for example, both are longitudinal, thereby enabling the handle (26; 201) to be pulled by a user and move from the first state (S1, S1') toward the inner side of the slide rail assembly 20 to the second state (S2, S2'), so that the user can conveniently pull the second rail (24; 204) relative to the first rail (22; 202) from the folded position R toward the opening direction D1.

[0059] 2. When the handle (26; 201) is in the second state (S2, S2'), the operating section (26c; 201c) of the handle (26; 201) exceeds the inner side (L2; L2') of the second rail (24; 204) by a predetermined distance (M; M'), and the user can hold the operating section (26c; 201c) of the handle (26; 201) by hand and apply force in the opening direction D1, thereby easily and conveniently pulling the second rail (24; 204) relative to the first rail (22; 202) from the folded position R toward the opening direction D1.

[0060] 3. The handle (26; 201) can be used to release the lock of the second rail (24; 204) when it is in the folded position R relative to the first rail (22; 202).

[0061] 4.
