Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of transmission equipment technology, and in particular relates to a linear guide rail. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of transmission, linear guides have always been an important product. A linear guide is a device used to support and guide moving parts, enabling them to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Compared to ordinary transmission structures, it requires less effort and facilitates equipment operation. Common linear guides are generally divided into three types: roller linear guides, cylindrical linear guides, and ball linear guides. They utilize rollers, cylinders, or balls to provide rolling friction, thereby reducing the impact of friction on the equipment and facilitating the sliding of sliders on the track.
[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN220354290U discloses a linear guide device, which includes: a track and a slider. The slider has an inner ball track and an outer ball track that run through it. The two ends of the inner ball track surface have first trimming parts. Two return devices are located at the two ends of the slider, and each return device has a return ball track. The outer ball track, the inner ball track and the return ball track together form a circulating ball track, and multiple steel balls are arranged in the circulating ball track.
[0004] While the aforementioned linear guide improves the smoothness of the steel ball's turning, its lubricating oil supply structure is relatively simple and lacks restraint, resulting in continuous oil leakage and high consumption. Improvements are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a linear guide that improves the lubrication effect of the slider while saving on the use of lubricating oil.
[0006] This application provides a linear guide rail, including a track and a slider that slides with the track, the slider comprising:
[0007] Reverse caps are placed at both ends of the slider;
[0008] Reverse block, installed in the reverse cover;
[0009] The oil supply mechanism is installed on the reverse cover;

[0017] The shaft seat is movably connected with the oiling roller;
[0018] The first spring is arranged between the shaft seat and the reverse cover.
[0019] The first valve body can control the conveying speed, but when the ball is just placed in the first elastic member when the sliding block stops moving, the first valve body will be in a continuous open state, when the oiling roller does not abut against the ball, the first spring makes the oiling roller block the oil outlet hole, the shaft body of the oiling roller is hinged to the shaft seat, so that the oiling roller can rotate around the axis, when the oiling roller abuts against the ball, the oiling roller moves into the oil storage cavity, the oil outlet hole is opened, the lubricating oil flows into the reverse channel, the lubricating property of the ball is improved, by setting the distance between the oil outlet hole and the first elastic member, the oiling roller and the oil outlet hole can correspond to at most one ball, so as to improve the control of the lubricating oil conveying and the utilization rate of the lubricating oil.
[0020] Further, the oil storage cavity comprises:
[0021] The piston is movably arranged in the oil storage cavity;
[0022] The second spring is arranged between the piston and the oil storage cavity.
[0023] By arranging the piston and the second spring, when the first valve body is opened, the lubricating oil first enters the oil storage cavity, and the lubricating oil is stored in the oil storage cavity by moving the piston, when the oil outlet hole is opened, the lubricating oil flowing out of the oil outlet hole is assisted, and the lubricating efficiency is improved.

[0026] The slider is provided with a flow divider channel, which is connected to the oil supply channel. The second valve body is connected between the oil supply channel and the flow divider channel. A lubrication hole is provided between the inner ball track and the flow divider channel.
[0027] By setting a second valve body to connect the distribution channel and the oil supply channel, when the slider is first used, the second valve body is opened to allow the lubricating oil to be delivered to the inner ball track through the distribution channel and lubrication hole, which will quickly lubricate the balls placed in the inner ball track, improve the lubrication performance of the slider during initial use, and reduce the wear of the balls.
[0028] Furthermore, the first valve body is provided with a third spring.
[0029] The third spring is placed between the first valve body and the reverse cover. By setting the third spring, the reset performance of the first valve body and the first elastic element is improved, and the stable on / off performance of the first valve body is guaranteed.
[0030] Furthermore, the slider is provided with a sealing cover, which is installed and connected to the reverse cover.
[0031] The sealing cover and the reverse cover are connected by fasteners such as bolts. The sealing cover prevents dust and impurities from entering the slider and improves the stability of the ball movement inside the slider.
[0032] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0033] 1. When the ball passes through the first elastic element, the deformation of the first elastic element causes the first valve body to move, opening the oil supply channel and allowing the lubricating oil to pass through the first valve body, thereby controlling the lubricating oil and improving the economical use of the lubricating oil.
[0034] 2. When the oiling roller comes into contact with the ball, it moves the oiling roller into the oil storage chamber, opens the oil outlet, and allows the lubricating oil to flow into the reverse ball track, improving the lubrication of the ball.
[0035] 3. By setting up a piston and a second spring, when the oil outlet is opened, it provides assistance for the lubricating oil to flow out of the oil outlet, thereby improving lubrication efficiency. Attached Figure Description
