[0036] A docking buffer assembly 2 is provided between the bottom of the installation groove 102 and the bottom of the guide rail body 301, and the docking buffer assembly 2 is used to provide a buffer for the placement of the guide rail body 301 to prevent the guide rail body 301 from having a hard collision with the concave seat 101;
[0037] The docking buffer assembly 2 includes a buffer unit, a fixing unit, and an alignment guide unit;
[0038] The buffer unit is used to buffer the placement of the guide rail body 301;
[0039] The fixing unit is used to install and fix some parts of the buffer unit;
[0040] The alignment guide unit is used to realize the alignment operation between the receiving groove 302 and the first threaded hole 103;
[0041] The buffer unit includes a lower hemispherical groove 201 and a ball 202;
[0042] The lower hemispherical groove 201 is opened at the bottom of the installation groove 102, and the ball 202 is rotatably installed inside the lower hemispherical groove 201. The ball 202 is composed of an inner core steel ball and an outer rubber layer. When the guide rail body 301 is placed inside the installation groove 102, it first contacts the outer rubber layer of the ball 202, and the placement of the guide rail body 301 is buffered by the outer rubber layer;
[0043] The fixing unit includes a fixing cover plate 203, an upper hemispherical groove 204, a docking circular hole 205, a mounting hole 206, and a second threaded hole 207;
[0044] The upper hemispherical groove 204 is formed at the bottom of the fixed cover plate 203 and penetrates to the top of the fixed cover plate 203. The fixed cover plate 203 is sleeved on the outside of the ball 202 through the upper hemispherical groove 204 and fits on the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting groove 102. The top of the ball 202 protrudes to the top of the fixed cover plate 203.

[0046] The mounting holes 206 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the fixed cover plate 203, and the second threaded holes 207 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the mounting groove 102 and aligned with the mounting holes 206. The fixed cover plate 203 and the ball bearing 202 are installed by screws penetrating the mounting holes 206 and screwing them into the second threaded holes 207.
[0047] The alignment guide unit includes a linear guide groove 208, a positioning ball groove 209, and a docking rubber ring 210;
[0048] The linear guide groove 208 is provided at the bottom of the guide rail body 301 and passes through both ends of the guide rail body 301. The guide rail body 301 cooperates with the ball bearing 202 to realize horizontal lateral limited sliding of the guide rail body 301.
[0049] The positioning ball groove 209 is provided at the bottom of the guide rail body 301 and is connected to the linear guide groove 208. The horizontal center lines of the linear guide groove 208, the positioning ball groove 209 and the rubber ring installation groove 304 are in a coincident state;
[0050] The docking rubber ring 210 is installed inside the rubber ring installation groove 304 and protrudes to the bottom of the guide rail body 301;
[0051] The ball 202 is inserted into the positioning ball groove 209 to realize the positioning of the guide rail body 301 . At this time, the docking rubber ring 210 is synchronously inserted into the docking circular hole 205 to realize the center line coincidence of the rubber ring installation groove 304 and the docking circular hole 205 .
[0052] In this embodiment: it should be supplemented that: the number and position of the first threaded hole 103, the docking circular hole 205, the receiving groove 302, the through groove 303, and the rubber ring installation groove 304 correspond one to one, and the number and position of the lower hemispherical groove 201, the ball 202, the upper hemispherical groove 204, and the positioning ball groove 209 correspond one to one;
[0053] When installing the guide rail body 301, the docking rubber ring 210 can be installed in the multiple rubber ring installation grooves 304 in sequence first, and then the guide rail body 301 can be held with its bottom facing downward and then lowered into the installation groove 102. During this process, the linear guide groove 208 at the bottom of the guide rail body 301 can be aligned with the top of the ball 202 (it should be supplemented that: during this process, there is no need to align the docking rubber ring 210 and the docking circular hole 205, and it is only necessary to keep the positions close to each other). Finally, the inner wall of the linear guide groove 208 of the guide rail bottom 301 is in contact with the ball 202. At this time, the guide rail bottom 301 does not contact the fixed cover plate 203. The self-elasticity of the rubber layer on the outer side of the ball 202 can buffer the lowering process of the guide rail bottom 301 to avoid a hard collision of the guide rail body 301.
[0054] Then, the guide rail body 301 is moved horizontally. At this time, the guide rail body 301 slides linearly along the top of the ball 202 through the linear guide groove 208, and the ball 202 can rotate, so that the movement resistance of the guide rail body 301 can be further reduced;
[0055] When the ball 202 is aligned with the positioning ball groove 209, the ball 202 will be stuck in the positioning ball groove 209. At this time, the height of the guide rail body 301 is further reduced, and the lower surface of the guide rail body 301 is in contact with the top of the fixed cover plate 203. At the same time, the docking rubber ring 210 is synchronously aligned with the docking circular hole 205, and when the guide rail body 301 moves downward, the docking rubber ring 210 is inserted into the docking circular hole 205. The docking rubber ring 210 and the docking circular hole 205 are squeezed and rubbed to provide a buffer for the downward movement of the guide rail body 301. With the buffering of the ball 202, the guide rail body 301 is effectively prevented from having a hard collision.
[0056] Then, the fixing screw is passed through the receiving groove 302, the through groove 303, the docking rubber ring 210 and screwed with the first threaded hole 103 (it should be additionally explained that: multiple fixing screws are tightened in sequence, and the tightening is divided into multiple times to ensure the flatness of the guide rail body 301).
[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The outer wall diameter of the docking rubber ring 210 matches the inner diameter of the docking circular hole 205 and the rubber ring installation groove 304, the inner diameter of the docking rubber ring 210 matches the inner diameter of the first threaded hole 103, and the height of the docking rubber ring 210 protruding to the bottom of the guide rail body 301 matches the wall thickness of the fixed cover plate 203.
[0058] In this embodiment, this structure allows the docking rubber ring 210 to be completely received in the rubber ring installation groove 304 and the docking circular hole 205 , without affecting the tightening of the fixing screw and the first threaded hole 103 and the flatness of the guide rail body 301 .
[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the height of the linear guide groove 208 is less than the top height of the ball 202 protruding from the fixed cover plate 203, and the height difference between the top height of the ball 202 protruding from the fixed cover plate 203 and the inner wall height of the linear guide groove 208 is greater than the height of the docking rubber ring 210 protruding from the bottom of the guide rail body 301;
[0060] The inner wall trajectory of the positioning ball groove 209 matches the trajectory of the portion of the ball 202 protruding from the fixed cover plate 203 .
[0061] In this embodiment: this structure ensures that the bottom of the docking rubber ring 210 does not contact the fixed cover plate 203 during the process of the linear guide groove 208 moving along the surface of the ball 202;
[0062] In addition, by matching the inner wall trajectory of the positioning ball groove 209 with the trajectory of the portion of the ball 202 protruding from the fixed cover plate 203 , the ball 202 can be completely positioned inside the ball groove 209 , thereby preventing the ball 202 from affecting the flatness of the guide rail body 301 .
[0063] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
