AI Technical Summary
When the existing synchronous slide rail is opened outward, due to the overlapping area between the upper rail and the rear end and the head end of the bottom rail, the stroke is limited, which affects the complete opening and installation of the drawer.
Design a sliding rail assembly with extended stroke, including a plurality of transmission gears that engage each other in sequence on the middle rail, and the transmission gear meshes with the first rack and the second rack to form an extension area to avoid the upper rail and the bottom rail. Overlap, increase the opening stroke of the drawer.
This enables the opening stroke of the drawer in the cabinet with the same installation depth, ensuring that the drawer can be fully withdrawn for easy placement or removal of items.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a slide rail assembly with extended stroke. Background Art
[0002] Prior art, such as Chinese utility model patent document with publication number CN212868336U, discloses a gear rack synchronous motion slide rail, wherein the slide rail comprises an upper rail, a middle rail and a lower rail; the upper rail can slide relative to the middle rail; the middle rail can slide relative to the lower rail; a transmission rack is fixed on the slide rail; the transmission rack comprises an upper transmission rack and a lower transmission rack; the upper transmission rack is fixed to the upper rail by a fixing device; the lower transmission rack is fixed to the lower rail by a fixing device; a rotatable gear is fixed on the middle rail; the upper transmission rack is meshed with the gear; the lower transmission rack is meshed with the gear.
[0003] See also Figure 7 The existing synchronous slide rail adopts a method of setting racks on the bottom rail 10 and the upper rail 30 respectively, and setting a gear on the middle rail 20. The meshing of the gear and the rack can make the middle rail 20 and the upper rail 30 synchronized when moving. The problem with the existing method of using a single gear to mesh with two racks for synchronous transmission is that when the upper rail 30 moves outward to the maximum stroke, there is an overlapping area between the tail end of the upper rail and the head end of the bottom rail, such as Figure 7 As shown in B in the middle. This overlapping area constrains the outward opening stroke of the drawer. The reason for this problem is that a single gear setting must always require two racks to mesh with this gear to keep the slide rail moving outward or inward in sync, and the two racks meshing with the rack affect the outward movement stroke of the slide rail. The existing way to solve the stroke problem is to lengthen the length of the middle rail, the upper rail and the rack. However, blindly increasing the length will face installation problems. Since the depth of the cabinet is limited, when the length of the slide rail when closed is greater than the depth of the cabinet, it will face the problem of being unable to install. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the utility model proposes a slide rail assembly that can solve the problem of overlapping area between the tail end of the upper rail and the head end of the bottom rail and extend the opening stroke.
[0005] A stroke-extended slide rail assembly designed for this purpose comprises a bottom rail, a middle rail and an upper rail, wherein the middle rail is slidably arranged relative to the bottom rail, and the upper rail is slidably arranged relative to the middle rail, a first rack is arranged on the bottom rail, a second rack is arranged on the upper rail, and a stroke-extending assembly is arranged on the middle rail, wherein the stroke-extending assembly comprises a plurality of transmission gears meshing with each other in sequence, the transmission gears are rotatably arranged on the middle rail, a plurality of transmission gears are arranged in an array along the sliding direction of the middle rail, and the transmission gears are respectively meshed with the first rack and the second rack.
[0006] Preferably, the stroke extension assembly further comprises a gear bracket, wherein the gear bracket is mounted on the middle rail, a mounting shaft is disposed on the gear bracket, and the transmission gear is rotatably disposed on the mounting shaft.
[0007] Preferably, a positioning hole corresponding to the mounting shaft is provided on the middle rail, and the mounting shaft is inserted into the positioning hole.
[0008] Preferably, the gear bracket is fixedly mounted on the middle rail by ultrasonic welding.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the utility model is provided with a stroke extension component on the middle rail, and the stroke extension component includes a plurality of transmission gears meshing with each other in sequence, the transmission gears are rotatably arranged on the middle rail, and the plurality of transmission gears are arranged along the sliding direction of the middle rail, and the transmission gears are respectively meshed with the first rack and the second rack. The stroke extension component can realize that when the drawer is fully opened, the head end of the first rack meshes with the transmission gear located at the rear side, and the second rack meshes with the transmission gear at the front side, in which state, an extension area is formed between the head end of the bottom rail and the tail end of the upper rail, and the bottom rail and the upper rail do not overlap each other in the extension area. Compared with the existing single gear with overlapping area, the outward movement stroke of the upper rail can be increased to realize the maximum possible lengthening of the drawer opening stroke in the cabinet with the same installation depth, so that the drawer can be fully pulled out, which is convenient for placing or taking out the items in the drawer.
