DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a guide rail potentiometer, comprising a body 1;
[0029] A sliding contact 2 slidably connected to the surface of the body 1;
[0030] A positioning structure 3 is provided on the surface of the sliding contact 2, and the positioning structure 3 includes connecting blocks 4 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the sliding contact 2. The interior of the connecting block 4 is movably connected to a shaft 5 through a bearing. Both ends of the shaft 5 pass through the outside of the connecting block 4 and are fixedly connected to a pressure plate 6. The side of the pressure plate 6 away from the shaft 5 is in contact with the surface of the body 1. A transmission structure 7 is provided on the top of the sliding contact 2, and the transmission structure 7 can swing the pressure rod.
[0031] refer to Figure 3 The transmission structure 7 includes a force-bearing plate 8 fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressure plate 6. The top of the sliding contact 2 is movably connected to a screw 9 through a bearing. The top of the screw 9 is fixedly connected to a runner 10. The surface of the screw 9 is threadedly connected to a screw sleeve 11. The screw sleeve 11 is located on the inner side of the pressure plate 6. The top of the screw sleeve 11 contacts the bottom of the pressure plate 6. During the rising process, the screw sleeve 11 can squeeze the force-bearing plate 8 so that it carries the pressure plate 6 to swing.
[0032] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the screw 9 is rotated by rotating the wheel 10, thereby driving the screw sleeve 11 to rise or fall. When the screw sleeve 11 rises, it presses the force-bearing plate 8, causing the pressure plate 6 to swing, thereby achieving positioning adjustment of the sliding contact 2, making the adjustment process more precise and controllable.
[0033] refer to Figure 2 The surface of the screw 9 is provided with a support frame 12. Both ends of the support frame 12 extend to the outside of the screw sleeve 11 and are fixedly connected to the top of the sliding contact 2. The support frame 12 and the screw sleeve 11 are slidably connected.
[0034] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the design of the support frame 12 provides stable support and guidance for the screw sleeve 11, ensuring that the screw sleeve 11 slides smoothly on the screw rod 9, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the adjustment.
[0035] refer to Figure 2A limiting groove 13 is provided on the surface of the support frame 12 , and both sides of the screw sleeve 11 are fixedly connected with a limiting block 14 located inside the limiting groove 13 , and the limiting block 14 and the limiting groove 13 are slidably connected.
[0036] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the design of the limit groove 13 and the limit block 14 further limits the movement range of the screw sleeve 11, preventing the screw sleeve 11 from deflecting or shaking during the sliding process, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the adjustment.
[0037] refer to Figure 3 The left and right sides of the screw sleeve 11 are movably connected with rollers 15 through pins, and the outer surface of the roller 15 contacts the surface of the pressure plate 6.
[0038] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the design of the roller 15 reduces the friction between the screw sleeve 11 and the pressure plate 6, making the screw sleeve 11 smoother in movement while protecting the surface of the pressure plate 6 from wear.
[0039] refer to Figure 4 , both sides of the top of the body 1 are fixedly connected with a carrier 16, and the outer side of the carrier 16 is fixedly connected with an elastic frame 17. The side of the elastic frame 17 away from the carrier 16 can contact the inner side of the pressure plate 6, and both ends of the elastic frame 17 are fixedly connected with a positioning frame 18. The side of the positioning frame 18 away from the elastic frame 17 extends to the outside of the body 1. When the pressure plate 6 squeezes the elastic frame 17, it can deform the elastic frame 17 and carry the positioning frame 18 to move inward. During the movement, the positioning frame 18 can fix the cables connected to the two ends of the body 1.
[0040] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the design of the elastic frame 17 and the positioning frame 18 provides the rail potentiometer with an additional function: cable fixation. When the pressure plate 6 squeezes the elastic frame 17, it deforms and drives the positioning frame 18 inward, thereby clamping and securing the cable. This not only facilitates cable management, but also improves the neatness and safety of the device.
[0041] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using a guide rail potentiometer, the sliding contact 2 slides on the surface of the body 1 to adjust the potential in the circuit as needed. In order to accurately control the position of the sliding contact 2, a positioning structure 3 is introduced. The positioning structure 3 is implemented by a connecting block 4, a shaft 5 and a pressure plate 6. When the position of the sliding contact 2 needs to be fixed, the transmission structure 7 comes into play. The core of the transmission structure 7 is the interaction between the screw 9, the sleeve 11, the force plate 8 and the pressure plate 6. The user rotates the wheel 10 at the top of the screw 9 to rotate the screw 9. Since the sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the screw 9, the rotation of the screw 9 will cause the sleeve 11 to rise or fall on the screw 9. When the sleeve 11 rises, it will directly contact the bottom of the pressure plate 6 and apply an upward force. This upward force is transmitted to the pressure plate 6 through the force plate 8. Since the pressure plate 6 is connected to the connecting block 4 through the shaft 5, the pressure plate 6 will swing around the shaft 5. The swing of the pressure plate 6 changes its contact position with the surface of the body 1, thereby realizing the positioning of the sliding contact 2. When the pressure plate 6 swings and contacts the elastic frame 17 at the top of the body 1, the elastic frame 17 will deform. Positioning frames 18 are fixed at both ends of the elastic frame 17. The positioning frame 18 moves inward as the elastic frame 17 deforms. During this movement, the positioning frame 18 can clamp and fix the cables connected to both ends of the body 1 to prevent the cables from loosening or falling off.
[0042] To sum up: the guide rail potentiometer is provided with a positioning structure 3 on the surface of the sliding contact 2, so that the sliding contact 2 can stay stably in a specific position, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the potential adjustment. Through the design of the connecting block 4, the shaft 5 and the pressure plate 6, the contact between the pressure plate 6 and the surface of the body 1 is achieved, providing a basis for the subsequent transmission structure 7 and positioning.
