Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of linear motion bearings, and particularly relates to a novel composite linear motion bearing. Background Technique
[0002] A linear motion bearing, also known as a linear bearing or a slide rail, is a linear motion system produced at low cost and is widely used in scenarios where it is used in conjunction with a cylindrical shaft for an infinite stroke. A linear motion bearing is a linear motion system produced at low cost for use in conjunction with a cylindrical shaft for an infinite stroke. Since the load-bearing balls are in point contact with the shaft, the applied load is small, and the steel balls rotate with extremely small frictional resistance, thus enabling high-precision smooth motion. A linear motion bearing is one of the indispensable components in mechanical equipment, and its characteristics of high precision, low friction, and high rigidity make it widely used in many fields.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN215720222U discloses a novel composite linear motion bearing, including a bearing. A square flange is fixedly sleeved on the side surface of the bearing. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the right side of the square flange. An active block is arranged inside the fixing ring. An active sliding groove is opened on the inner side wall of the fixing ring. Through the mutual cooperation among the fixing ring, the active block, the active sliding groove, the sliding block, the dust-proof ring, the fixing rod, the spring, the limiting hole, the connecting hole, the double-headed screw rod, and the nut, the bearing on the right side of the device can be inserted into the fixing ring on the left side of the device, so as to position the bearing, and further make the positions of two adjacent devices correspond to each other and not prone to deviation. Then, the two square flanges are fixed through the double-headed screw rod and the nut, so as to fix the two devices.
[0004] However, during the use of this utility model, only through a series of structures such as springs, it can only position two linear bearings and cannot achieve the effect of direct and stable fixation. It is necessary to additionally use a double-headed screw rod and a nut for fixation. This operation increases the installation steps of the staff. At the same time, since the double-headed screw rod occupies the installation holes of the square flange, the linear bearing cannot be installed on the machine through the square flange, which cannot meet the production requirements. Therefore, a novel composite linear motion bearing is proposed to solve the problems raised above. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a new type of composite linear motion bearing, which has the advantage of being convenient for fixing two linear bearings, solves the problem that only through a series of structures such as springs, the two linear bearings can only be positioned and cannot achieve the effect of direct and stable fixation. It is necessary to additionally use a double-headed screw and a nut for fixation, which increases the installation steps of the staff. At the same time, since the double-headed screw occupies the installation holes of the square flange, the linear bearing cannot be installed on the machine through the square flange, thus failing to meet the production requirements.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A new type of composite linear motion bearing, including a linear bearing body, one end of the linear bearing body is fixedly connected with a circular flange, a detachable bracket is installed outside the circular flange, and a detachable installation structure is arranged on the side of the circular flange away from the linear bearing body;

[0008] Further, the number of the positioning steel balls is ten, and the ten positioning steel balls are evenly distributed around the inside of the installation sleeve, and one end of the linear bearing body away from the circular flange extends into the inside of the installation sleeve.
[0009] Further, a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the installation sleeve and close to the positioning steel ball, and the side of the fixed block away from the elastic movable sleeve is in contact with the installation sleeve.
[0010] Further, a through hole adapted to the positioning steel ball is opened in the installation sleeve, the shape of the through hole is trapezoidal, and an anti-slip convex pattern is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the elastic movable sleeve.
[0011] Further, a positioning block extending into the inside of the left detachable bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the right detachable bracket, and a positioning groove adapted to the positioning block is opened on the side of the detachable bracket away from the positioning block.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides a novel composite linear motion bearing, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. For this novel composite linear motion bearing, by providing a return spring and a fixing block, the elastic movable sleeve can elastically move outside the mounting sleeve. When the linear bearing body is inserted into the mounting sleeve, the linear bearing body will squeeze the positioning steel balls, thereby facilitating the complete insertion of the linear bearing body into the mounting sleeve. Then, driven by the elastic force of the return spring, the elastic movable sleeve moves, causing the fixing block to squeeze the positioning steel balls. By providing positioning holes, the positioning steel balls can fix the linear bearing body, thus completing the docking and fixing of two linear bearing bodies, facilitating the installation by the staff without the need for additional fixing tools.
[0016] 2. For this novel composite linear motion bearing, by providing a detachable bracket and fixing bolts, it is convenient to disassemble the detachable bracket, thereby facilitating the staff to directly install the linear bearing main body using the circular flange. When it is necessary for the linear bearing main body to drive other structures to move, the detachable bracket can be installed, and then other structures can be fixed through the detachable bracket, improving the overall stability. It solves the problem that only through a series of structures such as springs, only two linear bearings can be positioned, and direct and stable fixing cannot be achieved. It is necessary to additionally use a double-headed screw and nuts for fixing, which increases the installation steps of the staff. At the same time, since the double-headed screw occupies the mounting holes of the square flange, the linear bearing cannot be installed on the machine through the square flange, unable to meet the production requirements.
