Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of linear modules, in particular to a full-protection linear module. Background Art

[0002] Linear modules are known by several names, including linear modules, Cartesian robots, and linear slides. They are an automation upgrade following linear guides, linear motion modules, and ball screw linear drive mechanisms. Combining these units enables linear and curved motion of loads, making light load automation more flexible and positioning more precise.

[0003] Existing linear modules typically rely on two guide rails for linear guidance. These rails are typically large and complex to install and adjust. Furthermore, existing linear modules are typically semi-protective, using polyurethane dust strips for dust protection. However, these strips adhere closely to the rail surface, creating friction during the high-speed reciprocating motion of the slide, which in turn causes heat buildup. This, combined with the generation of dust over extended periods of use, can lead to product stalls and reduced precision, shortening the overall lifespan.

[0004] For example, a fully protected linear module disclosed in Chinese patent CN217002940U has a movable mechanism. One end of the base profile is equipped with a rotating motor, which is connected to a screw located above the base profile. The screw is movably equipped with a slider. A top cover is located above the screw and fixed to both ends of the base profile. Dust strips are provided between the top cover and the base profile and on both sides of the screw. The two dust strips are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner. The horizontal spacing between the tops of the two dust strips is smaller than the horizontal spacing between their bottoms. A slide platform is fixed to the top of the slider. The slide platform has a through hole for the top cover to pass through. The top height of the dust strip is higher than the height of the bottoms of the top cover. The dust strip is located between the bottoms of the top cover. On the premise of ensuring the movement path of the slide platform, the top cover and dust strips are used to protect the linear module to prevent the entry of external impurities and ensure the life of the linear module.

[0005] However, the dust-proof devices used in the prior art generally utilize relatively fixed protective covers to shield and protect the internal structure of the linear module. However, such fixed protective structures may affect the path of the linear module or have certain gaps, thereby causing dust particles to enter the interior of the linear module, affecting the protective performance of the linear module.

[0006] For this reason, we urgently need to provide a fully protected linear module. Utility Model Content

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.

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , the utility model provides a technical solution: Example

[0028] A fully protected linear module comprises a module base 1, a module structure is installed in the middle of the module base 1, a lubrication structure is installed in the middle of the front and back of the module structure, and protective structures are installed at the left and right ends of the top of the module structure.

[0029] The protective structure includes a limiting connection unit and a fixed connection unit, with the fixed connection units located on either side of the limiting connection unit.
