[0038] The following describes in detail various embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] See Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides a linear module 100, comprising a module body 110 and a protection unit 120. Specifically, the module body 110 is substantially a rectangular parallelepiped, and the length direction of the module body 110 is the trajectory motion direction of the linear module 100.

[0040] For ease of description, Figures 1 to 3 A three-dimensional coordinate system is added to the . Specifically, the X-axis direction is the length direction of the module body 110, the Y-axis direction is the width direction of the module body 110, and the Z-axis direction is the thickness direction of the module body 110. The X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0041] Please also see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The protection unit 120 includes a protection member 121 and two sets of fixing components 122. The two sets of fixing components 122 are respectively arranged at the opposite ends of the module body 110 along the X-axis direction. Each set of fixing components 122 includes a mounting member 1221, an inner support member 1222 and an outer support member 1223. The mounting member 1221 is connected to one end of the module body 110, the outer support member 1223 is connected to the mounting member 1221 and is located on the side of the mounting member 1221 away from the module body 110, and the inner support member 1222 is connected to the outer support member 1223. The protective member 121 is connected to the mounting member 1221 and is located between the outer support member 1223 and the module body 110. The opposite ends of the protective member 121 have a fixing portion 1211. The two fixing portions 1211 correspond one-to-one to the two groups of fixing components 122. Each fixing portion 1211 abuts the mounting member 1221 and extends from the bottom end of the inner support member 1222 to between the inner support member 1222 and the outer support member 1223. The outer support member 1223 is connected to the inner support member 1222 and abuts the fixing portion 1211 to the inner support member 1222.

[0042] Specifically, the protective member 121 further includes a protective body 1212, which is disposed between the two mounting members 1221, and the two fixing portions 1211 respectively connect the two ends of the protective body 1212. Exemplarily, the protective member 121 is a steel belt, and the protective body 1212 and the two fixing portions 1211 are an integrated structure.

[0043] In the above-mentioned linear module 100, each fixing portion 1211 abuts against the mounting member 1221 and extends from the bottom end of the inner support member 1222 to between the inner support member 1222 and the outer support member 1223, and the outer support member 1223 connects the inner support member 1222 and abuts the fixing portion 1211 to the inner support member 1222, so that each fixing portion 1211 forms a U-shaped structure. Compared with the method of laying the cover plate or pulling the steel belt straight, the two groups of fixing components 122 can form a greater fastening force on the protective member 121 through the two U-shaped fixing portions 1211 to avoid the protective member 121 from collapsing and deforming, thereby increasing the stroke of the linear module 100.

[0044] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the inner support member 1222 includes an inner support body 1222a and a locking body 1222b. The inner support body 1222a is connected to the outer support member 1223, and the locking body 1222b is inserted into the inner support body 1222a and connected to the mounting member 1221. The fixing portion 1211 abuts the bottom end of the inner support body 1222a and is located between the inner support body 1222a and the outer support member 1223.

[0045] Therefore, the above arrangement can simplify the connection between the inner support member 1222 and the mounting member 1221 , which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly of the inner support member 1222 and the mounting member 1221 .

[0046] Specifically, the fixing portion 1211 is formed with a U-shaped groove 1211a, the opening of the U-shaped groove 1211a is facing the positive direction of the Z axis, and the inner support body 1222a is accommodated in the U-shaped groove 1211a. The inner support body 1222a forms a supporting force on the fixing portion 1211 along the negative direction of the Z axis, so that the fixing portion 1211 supports the mounting part 1221 along the negative direction of the Z axis.

[0047] In this embodiment, there are two locking bodies 1222b, which are respectively disposed at two ends of the inner supporting body 1222a along the Y-axis direction, and the fixing portion 1211 is located between the two locking bodies 1222b.

[0048] See Figure 3In some embodiments, the locking body 1222b includes a locking portion 1222c and a pressing portion 1222d. The locking portion 1222c is threaded through the inner support body 1222a and is threadedly connected to the mounting member 1221. The pressing portion 1222d is connected to and abuts the locking portion 1222c. Rotating the locking body 1222b adjusts the holding force of the inner support body 1222a against the fixing portion 1211, thereby adjusting the tension of the protective body 1212.

[0049] Exemplarily, the locking body 1222b is a bolt, wherein the locking portion 1222c is the screw of the bolt, and the pressing portion 1222d is the head of the bolt.

[0050] It should be noted that the locking portion 1222c is movably disposed in the inner supporting body 1222a along the Z-axis direction, and the force exerted by the fixing portion 1211 on the inner supporting body 1222a causes the inner supporting body 1222a to press against the pressing portion 1222d.

[0051] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 To prevent the inner support body 1222a from shifting relative to the mounting member 1221 during use of the linear module 100, the inner support member 1222 further includes a positioning bolt 1222e. The positioning bolt 1222e passes through the inner support body 1222a along the X-axis and is threadedly connected to the mounting member 1221.

[0052] In this embodiment, there are two positioning bolts 1222e, and the two positioning bolts 1222e are spaced apart along the Y-axis direction, and the two locking bodies 1222b are located between the two positioning bolts 1222e.

[0053] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the outer support member 1223 includes an outer support body 1223a and a fastening body 1223b. The fixing portion 1211 extends between the outer support body 1223a and the inner support member 1222. The fastening body 1223b is sequentially inserted into the outer support body 1223a and the fixing portion 1211 along the X-axis direction and connects to the inner support body 1222a of the inner support member 1222.

[0054] Therefore, through the above arrangement, the connection between the outer support member 1223 and the inner support member 1222 can be simplified, which is beneficial for the assembly and disassembly of the outer support member 1223 and the inner support member 1222.

[0055] In this embodiment, there are multiple fastening bodies 1223b, and the multiple fastening bodies 1223b are arranged at intervals along the Y-axis direction, which can improve the stability of the connection between the outer support body 1223a and the inner support body 1222a.

[0056] It should be noted that the fastening body 1223b extending through the fixing portion 1211 can enhance the fastening force of the outer support member 1223 and the inner support member 1222 on the fixing portion 1211. Furthermore, to prevent the fixing portion 1211 from breaking, the fixing portion 1211 can be punched prior to assembly of the protective unit 120 to form a plurality of through-holes spaced along the Y-axis. The plurality of through-holes corresponds to the plurality of fastening bodies 1223b.

[0057] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, the fastening body 1223b includes a fastening portion 1223c and a stopper portion 1223d. The fastening portion 1223c is sequentially inserted through the outer support body 1223a and the fixed portion 1211 and is threadedly connected to the inner support member 1222. The stopper portion 1223d is connected to the fastening portion 1223c and abuts the outer support body 1223a. The fastening body 122b is rotated to adjust the holding force of the outer support body 1223a on the fixed portion 1211. For example, the rotation of the fastening body 1223b can be achieved manually or mechanically.

[0058] Exemplarily, the fastening body 1223b is a bolt, the fastening portion 1223c is a screw rod of the bolt, and the stopping portion 1223d is the head of the bolt.

[0059] It should be noted that the fastening portion 1223 c is movably passed through the through holes on the outer supporting body 1223 a and the fixing portion 1211 along the X-axis direction.

[0060] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the outer support member 1223 further includes a reinforcement body 1223e. The reinforcement body 1223e is inserted into the outer support member 1223a and is threadedly connected to the mounting member 1221. Exemplarily, the reinforcement body 1223e is a bolt.

[0061] Therefore, through the above arrangement, the outer support body 1223 a can be connected to the mounting member 1221 , which is beneficial to improving the stability of the outer support member 1223 against the fixing portion 1211 .

[0062] In this embodiment, there are multiple reinforcing bodies 1223e, and the multiple reinforcing bodies 1223e are arranged at intervals along the Y-axis direction. The multiple reinforcing bodies 1223e can improve the stability of the connection between the outer support body 1223a and the mounting member 1221.

[0063] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, an anti-slip member 1224 is provided between at least one of the inner support member 1222 and the fixing portion 1211 and between the outer support member 1223 and the fixing portion 1211. For example, the anti-slip member 1224 can be a soft plastic sheet.

[0064] Therefore, the anti-slip member 1224 can increase the friction between the outer support member 1223 and the inner support member 1222 relative to the fixing portion 1211 , thereby increasing the fastening force of the outer support member 1223 and the inner support member 1222 on the fixing portion 1211 .

[0065] In this embodiment, anti-slip members 1224 are provided between the inner supporting body 1222a and the outer supporting body 1223a, and between the inner supporting body 1222a and the two side walls of the U-shaped groove 1211a. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the anti-slip members 1224 may be provided only between the inner supporting body 1222a and the outer supporting body 1223a, or only between the inner supporting body 1222a and one side wall of the U-shaped groove 1211a, or between the inner supporting body 1222a and the two side walls of the U-shaped groove 1211a, or between the inner supporting body 1222a and the outer supporting body 1223a, and between the inner supporting body 1222a and one side wall of the U-shaped groove 1211a.

[0066] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, at least one of the surface of the outer support member 1223 abutting against the fixing portion 1211 and the surface of the inner support member 1222 abutting against the fixing portion 1211 is provided with an anti-slip groove 122a.

[0067] Therefore, the anti-slip groove 122 a can increase the friction between the outer support member 1223 and the inner support member 1222 relative to the fixing portion 1211 , thereby increasing the fastening force of the outer support member 1223 and the inner support member 1222 on the fixing portion 1211 .

[0068] In this embodiment, anti-slip grooves 122a are provided on both the surface of the outer support member 1223 abutting the fixed portion 1211 and the surface of the inner support member 1222 abutting the fixed portion 1211. It is understood that in other embodiments, the anti-slip grooves 122a may be provided only on the surface of the outer support member 1223 abutting the fixed portion 1211, or only on the surface of the inner support member 1222 abutting the fixed portion 1211.

[0069] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the mounting member 1221 includes a mounting body 1221a and a supporting body 1221b. The mounting body 1221a is connected to one end of the module body 110 and abuts the fixing portion 1211. The supporting body 1221b is vertically connected to the side of the mounting body 1221a facing away from the module body 110. The inner supporting member 1222 and the outer supporting member 1223 are respectively connected to the supporting body 1221b.

[0070] Specifically, the mounting member 1221 is substantially L-shaped, and the locking body 1222b and the reinforcing body 1223e are both threadedly connected to the supporting body 1221b.

[0071] Therefore, the L-shaped mounting member 1221 can provide sufficient mounting holes for the inner support member 1222 and the outer support member 1223 , thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the fixing assembly 122 .

[0072] In some embodiments, at least one of the surface of the inner support member 1222 facing the support body 1221 b and the surface of the installation body 1221 a abutting against the fixing portion 1211 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0073] In this embodiment, both the surface of the inner support member 1222 facing the support body 1221b and the surface of the mounting body 1221a abutting the fixing portion 1211 are arcuate surfaces. It is understood that in other embodiments, either the surface of the inner support member 1222 facing the support body 1221b or the surface of the mounting body 1221a abutting the fixing portion 1211 is an arcuate surface.

[0074] Therefore, through the above configuration, the fit to the fixing portion 1211 can be improved, and damage to the fixing portion 1211 can be avoided.

[0075] The installation process of the linear module 100 is roughly as follows:

[0076] First, punch a hole in the fixing portion 1211 and fold it into a U-shape to form a U-shaped groove 1211a. Then, place the inner support 1222a and the anti-slip member 1224 so that the inner support 1222a is located in the U-shaped groove 1211a and the anti-slip member 1224 is located between the inner support 1222a and the sidewall of the U-shaped groove 1211a.

[0077] Secondly, the inner support body 1222a and the outer support body 1223a are connected by the fastening body 1223b, and an anti-slip member 1224 is installed between the outer support body 1223a and the fixing portion 1211;

[0078] Then, the inner support body 1222a and the support body 1221b are connected by the locking body 1222b, and the outer support body 1223a and the support body 1221b are connected by the reinforcing body 1223e. The locking body 1222b is rotated to adjust the supporting force of the inner support body 1222a on the fixing portion 1211, and the reinforcing body 1223e is rotated to adjust the position of the outer support body 1223a relative to the inner support body 1222a.

[0079] Finally, the positioning bolt 1222e is passed through the inner support body 1222a along the X-axis direction and is threadedly connected to the mounting body 1221a.

[0080] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be encompassed within the present invention.

[0081] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
