Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a sealing structure, in particular to a sealing structure of a linear guide rail. Background Art

[0002] The main function of the sealing sheet on the linear guide is to prevent external dust, impurities, moisture, etc. from entering the interior of the guide, thereby protecting the guide and bearing system from contamination and corrosion. The sealing sheet can effectively reduce friction, extend the service life of the guide, and improve the operating stability and accuracy of the guide system.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN213776087U discloses a roller-type linear guide pair, including a roller slider and a slide rail, the roller slider rolls along the slide rail, the roller slider includes a slider body, a reverser assembly, a roller assembly, an end plastic cover, a dustproof sheet, a sealing sheet and an oil scraper sheet; the slider body includes a first and a second fixed cavity, a first sub-rolling groove and a second sub-rolling groove, and the roller assembly can roll along the first sub-rolling groove and the second sub-rolling groove; the reverser assembly includes a first sleeve fixed in the first fixed cavity, a second sleeve fixed in the second fixed cavity, and a first reverser and a second reverser for changing the rolling direction of the roller assembly; the roller assembly includes a plurality of rollers.

[0004] In the above scheme, the roller assembly is rolled to realize the movement of the roller slider along the slide rail, and the contact between the roller slider and the slide rail is changed from point contact to line contact, thereby increasing the contact area between the slider body and the slide rail. However, the above scheme has the following shortcomings: since there is line contact between the ball slider and the slide rail, that is, there is line contact between the dustproof sheet and the slide rail in the above scheme, after the above scheme has been running for a period of time, the dustproof sheet is easily worn and a gap is easily generated at the contact position between the dustproof sheet and the slide rail, thereby making the sealing effect of the dustproof sheet ineffective; and the line contact between the dustproof sheet and the slide rail cannot prevent larger impurities from entering the interior of the slide rail, thereby causing the problem of poor sealing effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a sealing structure of a linear guide rail with better sealing effect.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows: a sealing structure of a linear guide rail, comprising a linear guide rail and a slider slidably arranged on the linear guide rail, dustproof sheets are arranged at both ends of the slider, and a sealing surface is arranged on the dustproof sheet, and the sealing surface is integrally fitted on the linear guide rail to realize the sealing cooperation between the dustproof sheet and the linear guide rail, and the sealing surfaces of the dustproof sheets at both ends cooperate to form a seal for the linear guide rail portion contained in the slider.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by setting a sealing surface with a certain width, a surface contact can be formed between the dustproof sheet and the linear guide rail. Therefore, when the slider runs on the linear guide rail, the surface contact sealing surface can effectively prevent impurities of various sizes from entering the linear guide rail part located in the slider, and because it is a surface contact type, the sealing failure problem will not occur due to wear after running for a period of time; and the surface contact dustproof sheet can more easily scrape off impurities attached to the linear guide rail during the operation of the slider, so as to achieve the effect of cleaning the linear guide rail and extending the service life of the linear guide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, an impurity storage groove is arranged on the end surface of the dustproof sheet facing away from the slider, and the sealing surface allows impurities to fall into the impurity storage groove.

[0009] The impurity storage groove can be used to temporarily store impurities blocked by the sealing surface. When the impurities are located in the impurity storage groove, they will not move to other parts of the dustproof sheet to affect the work of the dustproof sheet; and when a certain amount of impurities accumulate in the impurity storage groove, it can be emptied by sweeping away the impurities therein, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance.

[0010] Furthermore, the impurity storage groove includes a scraping surface, and the plane where the scraping surface is located is perpendicular to the plane where the sealing surface is located; the impurity storage groove also includes a guide surface connected to the scraping surface, and the guide surface makes the impurities located thereon have a tendency to fall into the bottom of the impurity storage groove.

[0011] The scraping surface that forms a perpendicular relationship with the sealing surface makes the sealing surface have a certain thickness. When the sealing surface runs on the linear guide exposed to the side outside the slider, that is, when it runs towards the part of the linear guide where impurities may be attached, the thickness of the sealing surface can not only make the sealing surface more wear-resistant, but also further reduce the possibility of external impurities entering the part of the linear guide surrounded by the slider, thereby improving the sealing effect of the dustproof sheet. When impurities fall on the inclined guide surface, they can fall to the bottom of the impurity storage groove under the push of the impurities that fall on the scraping surface later, so as to avoid the problem of impurities accumulating on the scraping surface and causing magazine jams to affect the operation of the slider.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing strip, and a groove is provided on the end surface of the dustproof sheet facing the slider, and the two ends of the sealing strip are respectively inserted into the groove of the dustproof sheet to fix the sealing strip.

[0013] The two ends of the sealing strip are inserted into the card groove to achieve fixation between the sealing strip and the dustproof sheet, thereby preventing the sealing strip from being manufactured at a lower limit level due to processing reasons, which would result in a gap at the joint between the dustproof sheet and the sealing strip. Therefore, the sealing strip is fixed between the two dustproof sheets to ensure that no gap is generated between the sealing strip and the dustproof sheet, so as to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the slider through the gap and affecting the operation of the slider.

[0014] Furthermore, a positioning portion is protruding from the sealing strip, a positioning hole matching the positioning portion is provided in the slot, a retractable clamping block is provided in the positioning hole, a groove for inserting the clamping block is provided on the positioning portion, and the clamping block cooperates with the groove to prevent the sealing strip from falling out of the slot.

[0015] When installing the sealing strip, the positioning portion is extended into the positioning hole and the clamping block is forced to retract, so that the positioning portion is fully extended into the positioning hole, and then the clamping block rebounds and is clamped in the groove to lock the sealing strip in the slot, further preventing the sealing strip from falling out of the slot.
