Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation, specifically to a rack and a power guide rail including the rack. Background Technology

[0002] In automated equipment, guide rails are crucial structures for achieving linear motion. They primarily provide support, guidance, and positioning in mechanical equipment, ensuring smoother, more precise, and safer movement, thereby improving machining accuracy and lifespan. For example, in the machine tool manufacturing industry, guide rails are key components ensuring work accuracy and stability; common types include rolling guides, sliding guides, and linear guides. In transportation equipment, such as warehouse robots and elevators, guide rails ensure the safe and smooth transport of goods.

[0003] To achieve linear motion, in addition to the guide rail, a power component is needed to provide power to drive the assembly along the guide rail. Common power components include rollers and pulleys. To simplify the overall structure of the power component and the guide rail, a gear and rack meshing transmission can also be used to provide power, with the rack engaged on the guide rail. That is, the assembly rests on the guide rail and is directly driven by the gear and the rack embedded in the guide rail.
