It has higher rated load than linear bearings and can bear certain torque. It can realize high-precision linear motion under high load. The guide rail can be divided into T-shaped and U-shaped, etc. The existing T-shaped guide rail is easy to bend due to collision during transportation. Therefore, before actual use, a correction device is needed to correct the T-shaped guide rail. However, in the existing correction device, the correction structure continuously hits and extrudes the guide rail to the side, which easily causes the supporting plate, fixing block and the like to shift, resulting in poor subsequent correction effect. Therefore, improvement is needed.

[0032] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the guide rail straightening machine includes a frame 1, on which a straightening assembly 2 is provided. The straightening assembly 2 includes two gantry supports 2a fixed to the frame 1. The gantry supports 2a are provided with a horizontally arranged upper pressure roller 2b and a lower pressure roller 2c. The gantry supports 2a are provided with a motor that can drive the lower pressure roller 2c to rotate. The gantry supports 2a are provided with a lifting mechanism 3 that can drive the upper pressure roller 2b to rise and fall relative to the lower pressure roller 2c. The side of the gantry supports 2a is provided with a vertically arranged left pressure roller 4 and a right pressure roller 5. The side walls of the left pressure roller 4 and the right pressure roller 5 are all provided with corresponding grooves 6.

[0034] The gantry support 2a is equipped with a drive mechanism 7 that can drive the left pressure roller 4 and the right pressure roller 5 to move synchronously closer or further apart. A straightening support 21 is mounted on the frame 1, located between the two gantry supports 2a. The straightening support 21 has two vertically arranged straightening wheels 22, with a guide rail 11 passing between them. A hydraulic cylinder 23 is mounted on the frame 1 to raise and lower the straightening support 21. By raising and lowering the straightening support 21 via the hydraulic cylinder 23, one of the straightening wheels 22 presses against the workpiece, achieving straightening. This method offers advantages such as good straightening effect and simple, reliable structure.

[0035] Both sides of the gantry support 2a are fixed with vertically arranged guide rails 11. The guide rails 11 are equipped with sliders 8. The outer side of the sliders 8 is provided with vertically arranged grooves and the guide rails 11 are embedded in the grooves. The two ends of the upper pressure roller 2b are inserted on the sliders 8.

[0036] The lifting mechanism 3 includes lead screws 9 vertically arranged on both sides of the gantry bracket 2a. The lower end of the lead screw 9 is inserted into the corresponding slider 8 and threadedly connected to the slider 8. The upper end of the lead screw 9 is fixedly connected to a handwheel 10. Rotating the handwheel 10 drives the lead screw 9 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 8 to rise and fall, thus realizing the lifting and falling of the upper pressure roller 2b. It has the advantages of simple structure and reliable and stable operation.

[0037] As another way, such as Figure 7 As shown, the two sliders 8 are fixedly connected by a horizontally arranged connecting rod 12. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a hydraulic cylinder 3a whose cylinder body is fixedly connected to the gantry bracket 2a. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3a is fixedly connected to the middle part of the connecting rod 12. The hydraulic cylinder 3a drives the connecting rod 12 to rise and fall, thereby driving the upper pressure roller 2b to rise and fall through the slider 8. It has the advantages of simple structure and reliable operation.

[0038] The left and right pressure rollers 4 and 5 each have an upper rocker arm 13 and a lower rocker arm 14 on their upper and lower sides, respectively. The upper and lower rocker arms 13 and 14 correspond one-to-one in structure and position. They are horizontally positioned, with one end hinged to the gantry bracket 2a, allowing them to swing horizontally. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower rocker arms 13 and 14. The left and right pressure rollers 4 and 5 are axially fixed to the corresponding rotating shafts 15. A connecting shaft 18 is fixedly connected to one end of each upper and lower rocker arm 13 and 14. A mounting block 19 is fixedly connected to the gantry bracket 2a, and the connecting shaft 18 passes through the mounting block 19.

[0039] As another way, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive mechanism 7 includes a motor 7a whose housing is fixedly connected to the gantry bracket 2a. A gear 7b is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 7a, and gears 7c are fixedly connected to the connecting shafts 18. The two gears 7c mesh with each other, and gear 7b meshes with one of the gears 7c. The motor 7a drives the two connecting shafts 18 to rotate in opposite directions through the transmission between gear 7b and gear 7c, and then through the transmission between the two gears 7c. This enables the left pressure roller 4 and the right pressure roller 5 to move synchronously closer or further apart, which has the advantages of simple structure and reliable operation.

[0040] As another way, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drive mechanism 7 includes a second hydraulic cylinder 16 whose cylinder body is horizontally fixed to the gantry bracket 2a. The piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 16 and the outer end of the upper rocker arm 13 are provided with a swing arm 17. The two ends of the swing arm 17 are respectively hinged to the piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 16 and one end of the upper rocker arm 13. The swing arm 17 is driven to swing by the second hydraulic cylinder 16, which in turn drives the two upper rocker arms 13 to swing synchronously. This mechanism has the advantages of simple structure and reliable operation.

[0041] The frame 1 is provided with a straightening bracket 21, which is located between two gantry brackets 2a. The straightening bracket 21 is provided with two straightening wheels 22 arranged vertically, and the guide rail 11 passes through the space between the two straightening wheels 22. The frame 1 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder 23 that drives the straightening bracket 21 to rise and fall.

[0042] During operation, the workpiece is fed into and pressed against the two lower pressure rollers 2c. The handwheel 10 is turned to drive the lead screw 9 to rotate, thereby causing the slider 8 to descend and the upper pressure roller 2b to move downward, so that the upper and lower end faces of the workpiece abut against the corresponding upper pressure roller 2b and lower pressure roller 2c. The motor 7a drives the two connecting shafts 18 to rotate in opposite directions through the transmission of gear 1 7b and gear 2 7c, and then through the transmission of the two gears 2 7c. This achieves synchronous approach of the left pressure roller 4 and the right pressure roller 5, and makes the two sides of the workpiece embedded in the groove 6. The motor drives the lower pressure roller 2c to rotate, and the friction force drives the workpiece to move, realizing synchronous vertical and horizontal straightening. It has the advantages of good straightening effect and high working efficiency.

[0043] As a preferred option, such as Figure 8 As shown, a heating assembly is provided on the frame 1. The heating assembly is located at the front end of the straightening assembly 2. The heating assembly includes a cover 20 provided on the frame 1. The two ends of the cover 20 are provided with through holes for the guide rail 11 to pass through. Heating wires are provided on the upper and lower inner walls of the cover 20.
