DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described, obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] Embodiment:

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A linear guide rail with internal circulation cross rollers, comprising a guide rail body 1, a sliding groove 11 is formed on both sides of the guide rail body 1, a sliding block 2 is slidably and adaptively installed on the guide rail body 1, a rolling groove 21 is formed on both sides of the inner wall of the sliding block 2, the rolling groove 21 corresponds to the sliding groove 11, an installation groove 22 is formed in the sliding block 2, a moving pipe 4 is adaptively installed in the installation groove 22, a moving groove 41 is formed in the inside of the moving pipe 4, mutually symmetrical stop blocks 3 are connected to both ends of the moving pipe 4, a connecting groove 32 is formed in the inside of the stop block 3, a transition block 5 is installed in the connecting groove 32, a U-shaped groove one 31 is formed on the inner wall of the stop block 3, a U-shaped groove two 51 is formed on the outer surface of the transition block 5, one end of the U-shaped groove two 51 is connected to the moving groove 41, the other end of the U-shaped groove two 51 is connected to the inner wall rolling groove 21 of the sliding block 2, the U-shaped groove one 31 corresponds to the U-shaped groove two 51;

[0022] The sliding groove 11 and the rolling groove 21 are straight grooves with triangular cross sections, and the sliding groove 11 and the rolling groove 21 are combined into a straight groove with a rhombic cross section;

[0023] The U-shaped groove one 31 and the U-shaped groove two 51 are both triangular in cross section, and the U-shaped groove one 31 and the U-shaped groove two 51 are combined into a U-shaped pipe groove with a rhombic cross section;

[0024] The moving groove 41 is rhombic in cross section, and its two ends are connected to the straight grooves through the U-shaped pipe grooves, forming a ring-shaped roller groove;

[0025] The ring-shaped roller groove formed by the combination of the moving groove 41, the U-shaped pipe groove and the straight groove has a rolling body 6 rolling inside.

[0026] Specifically, during assembly, the guide rail body 1 and the sliding block 2 are correspondingly and adaptively installed through the sliding groove 11 and the rolling groove 21, the moving pipe 4 is installed in the installation groove 22, and the stop block 3 with the transition block 5 at one end of the moving pipe 4 is connected with the sliding block 2. Since the sliding groove 11 on both sides of the guide rail body 1 is a straight groove with a triangular cross section, and the rolling groove 21 on the inner wall of the sliding block 2 is also triangular, when the two are combined, a straight groove with a rhombus cross section is formed. The rolling element 6 is cross-placed in the straight groove, the moving groove 41 and the U-shaped groove at one end of the moving pipe 4. The rolling element 6 installed in the straight groove can accurately limit the movement direction of the sliding block 2, so that the sliding block 2 moves linearly along the guide rail body 1, while ensuring that the sliding block 2 is constrained in two directions, avoiding the left and right deviation or the upward and downward disengagement of the sliding block 2. After the stop block 3 with the rolling element 6 and the transition block 5 is installed on the other side of the sliding block 2, the moving groove 41, the U-shaped pipe groove (formed by combining the U-shaped groove one 31 and the U-shaped groove two 51) and the straight groove (formed by combining the sliding groove 11 and the rolling groove 21) are combined to form a ring-shaped roller groove, effectively utilizing the space inside the sliding block 2 and reducing the occupation of external space. Compared with the cross-roller guide rail of single-direction motion in line, it does not need to reserve too much space for the single-direction motion of the roller, so that the overall size of the sliding block 2 can be designed to be smaller, which can better adapt to the miniaturization demand of the instrument and will not make the instrument too large due to the size of the linear guide rail;

[0027] At the same time, the rolling element 6 is arranged in the ring-shaped roller groove and circulates and rolls in the ring-shaped roller groove. Since the shape of the groove is regular and the parts are connected closely, the movement of the rolling element 6 is more uniform and stable. This helps to reduce the vibration and jumping of the sliding block 2 during movement, and for equipment that needs high-precision positioning (such as precision machine tools, optical instruments, etc.), the machining precision or measurement precision of the equipment can be improved;

[0028] The rolling element 6 is a cylindrical roller. When the cross-arranged rollers work, they can automatically decompose the forces from different directions, such as vertical pressure, horizontal tension or oblique composite force. The multi-directional load-carrying capacity enables the linear guide rail to remain stable in a complex stress environment and better adapt to the stress changes in various actual working conditions;

[0029] The rolling body 6 rolls in the annular rolling groove, and the friction mode between the sliding block 2 and the guide rail body 1 is changed from sliding friction to rolling friction. The rolling friction coefficient is much smaller than the sliding friction coefficient, which makes the driving force required when the sliding block 2 moves on the guide rail body 1 smaller, reduces the energy loss, and the inner circulation structure can make each part of the rolling body 6 participate in the bearing and rolling process. Since the rolling body 6 is in circulation, the rolling body 6 in each area has the opportunity to contact the guide rail and bear the load during the movement, which avoids the situation of local excessive wear of the roller.

[0030] Working principle: when the device is used, the guide rail body 1 is placed on the workbench to keep it horizontal and stable. Then, the sliding block 2 is fitted and installed on the two sides of the sliding groove 11 of the guide rail body 1 through the rolling groove 21 on the inner wall of the sliding block 2, the moving pipe 4 is installed into the installation groove 22 of the sliding block 2, and the moving pipe 4 is installed firmly and tightly combined with the inner wall of the installation groove 22. Then, the stop block 3 with the transition block 5 is installed at one end of the moving pipe 4, the transition block 5 is inserted into the connecting groove 32 of the stop block 3, and the connection is ensured to be tight, the rolling body 6 is crossed and placed into the straight groove, the moving groove 41 of the moving pipe 4 and the U-shaped groove at one end of the moving pipe 4, and after the rolling body 6 is placed, the other side stop block 3 with the rolling body 6 and the transition block 5 is installed on the sliding block 2. During the installation process, it is ensured that the U-shaped groove one 31 of the stop block 3 and the U-shaped groove two 51 of the transition block 5 accurately correspond, and are well adapted to the position of the rolling body 6, so as to realize that the moving groove 41, the U-shaped pipe groove and the straight groove are combined to form an annular rolling groove, and the rolling body 6 can realize inner circulation in the annular rolling groove.
