Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of roller chain belt linear guide rail pairs, in particular to roller chain belt linear guide rail pairs. Background Art
[0002] Roller chain linear guides are a key component widely used in modern industrial automation and precision machinery. They are mainly used to achieve high-precision linear motion and positioning. This guide pair usually consists of a slider and a roller chain assembly, where the slider moves along a fixed guide rail and the roller chain is responsible for transmitting force and motion. The application range of roller chain linear guides is very wide, including CNC machine tools, automated assembly lines, robotics, precision measuring equipment, etc.
[0003] However, the existing roller chain linear guide pair has some shortcomings:
[0004] Installation complexity: Traditional roller chain linear guide pairs often require precise calibration and alignment during the installation process, especially the traditional roller chain linear guide pair. The internal roller chain assembly is a split design. This design is to adapt to the internal installation structure of the traditional slider. In particular, the rollers in the traditional roller chain assembly need to be inserted into the chain one by one, which is not only time-consuming, but also requires high skills of the operator, increasing the complexity and cost of installation.
[0005] Difficult maintenance: Due to the close fit between components, once a failure occurs or maintenance is required, the disassembly and reassembly process may be very cumbersome, resulting in long maintenance cycles and affecting production efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, this invention proposes a roller chain linear guide pair to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a roller chain linear guide pair.
[0008] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the utility model is implemented as follows: a roller chain linear guide pair, including a slider and a roller chain assembly, the left and right side walls of the guide rail penetration hole inside the slider are provided with cross mounting guide grooves, the roller chain assembly is inserted corresponding to the tail end port of the cross mounting guide groove, the front end of the slider is fixedly installed with a fixed end cover, the tail end port of the slider is provided with a T-shaped vertical clamping tooth near the left and right sides, the tail end of the slider is provided with a movable end cover, and the inner end surface of the movable end cover is provided with a T-shaped docking groove adapted to the T-shaped vertical clamping teeth on both sides near the left and right sides;
[0009] The roller chain belt assembly specifically includes the following structure:
[0010] Two cross-distributed roller chains;
