[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides a smooth sliding drawer slide rail assembly 100 applied to a drawer cabinet, which comprises an outer rail 10 for mounting on the cabinet body and an inner rail 20 for connecting with the drawer.

[0033] Specifically, the outer rail 10 comprises a first plate body 11 extending along a length direction and a first bent portion 12 arranged above an edge of the first plate body 11 along the length direction, the first bent portion 12 is bent along an inner side of the first plate body 11, and a mounting groove 13 is formed between the first bent portion 12 and the first plate body 11, a slide strip 30 extending along the length direction is arranged in the mounting groove 13, and a plurality of spaced balls 50 are embedded in the slide strip 30 along the length direction. The inner rail 20 comprises a second plate body 21 extending along a length direction and a second bent portion 22 arranged above an edge of the second plate body 21 along the length direction, the second bent portion 22 is bent along an inner side of the second plate body 21, and an outer surface of the second bent portion 22 is used to rollingly contact with the balls 50, so that the inner rail 20 can slide relative to the outer rail 10.

[0034] Based on the above technical features, the drawer slide rail assembly 100 is smooth in sliding, the outer rail 10 comprises the first plate body 11 and the first bent portion 12 arranged above the edge of the first plate body 11 along the length direction, and the mounting groove 13 is formed between the first bent portion 12 and the first plate body 11, then the slide strip 30 is mounted in the mounting groove 13, and the plurality of spaced balls 50 are embedded in the slide strip 30, so that when the inner rail 20 is connected with the outer rail 10, the second bent portion 22 of the inner rail 20 is in rolling contact with the balls 50, thereby making the inner rail 20 slide more smoothly relative to the outer rail 10, reducing the swing amplitude of the slide rail when being pulled out, and reducing the probability of adverse phenomena such as unsmooth pulling out, blocking and jamming of the slide rail. In addition, the balls 50 are embedded in the slide strip 30 to form an integral whole, so that when the balls 50 need to be replaced, the entire slide strip 30 can be removed from the mounting groove 13, and the corresponding balls 50 can be replaced, which is simple in structure and can realize quick replacement.

[0035] In a possible implementation, a plurality of mounting holes 30a are arranged on the slide strip 30 along the length direction, the balls 50 are mounted in the mounting holes 30a, and the portions of the balls 50 towards the second bent portion 22 are exposed outside the mounting holes 30a to be in rolling contact with the outer surface of the second bent portion 22.

[0036] Exemplarily, a plurality of mounting holes 30a are arranged on the slide strip 30 along the length direction, and then the balls 50 are mounted in each mounting hole 30a, and the portions of the balls 50 towards the second bent portion 22 are exposed outside the mounting holes 30a, when the inner rail 20 is slidably connected to the outer rail 10, the outer surface of the second bent portion 22 of the inner rail 20 is in abutment with the balls 50, so that the inner rail 20 can slide more smoothly and will not appear adverse phenomena such as blocking and jamming.

[0037] In a possible implementation, the outer surface of the second bending portion 22 is concave, and a sliding groove 22a extending in the length direction is formed in the outer surface. The sliding groove 22a is in rolling contact with the part of the rolling ball 50 exposed outside the mounting hole 30a. In this way, the sliding of the inner rail 20 is smoother, and the problems of deviation or disengagement do not occur.

[0038] In a possible implementation, the end of the first plate body 11 is provided with a connecting portion 11a perpendicular to the first plate body 11. The anti-collision block 40 is sleeved on the connecting portion 11a. An arc-shaped portion is protruded on the surface of the anti-collision block 40 facing the front end of the first plate body 11. A cavity is formed between the arc-shaped portion and the surface of the anti-collision block. The cavity is filled with an elastic material.

[0039] Exemplarily, the elastic material can be an elastic sponge or other materials that can provide elastic force after being impacted, and the present application is not limited in this regard.

[0040] Exemplarily, when the inner rail 20 is pushed to slide relative to the outer rail 10, and the end of the inner rail 20 abuts against the arc-shaped portion of the anti-collision block 40, the elastic material filled in the cavity can provide a certain buffering effect, thereby eliminating the impact caused by the restriction of the inner rail 20, and delaying the service life of the sliding rail.

[0041] In a possible implementation, a plurality of fixing holes for fixing the cabinet are arranged on the first plate body 11. In this way, the first plate body 11 is placed on the surface of the cabinet, so that the fixing holes are aligned with the hole positions of the cabinet. Then, fasteners (such as bolts) are used to sequentially pass through the fixing holes and the hole positions, so that the first plate body 11 and the cabinet are fixedly connected.

[0042] In a possible implementation, the connecting plate 70 is further provided. The end of the connecting plate 70 extending towards the second plate body 21 is connected with the second plate body 21. The connecting plate 70 is provided with protrusions 80 connected in sequence at the head and tail. The protrusions 80 surround the clamping groove 90 for clamping the shelf.

[0043] Exemplarily, when the shelf is installed and connected with the inner rail 20, the end of the connecting plate 70 extending towards the second plate body 21 is fixedly connected with the second plate body 21, so that the connecting plate 70 is fixed on the second plate body 21. Since the connecting plate 70 is provided with the protrusions 80 connected in sequence at the head and tail, the clamping groove 90 is surrounded on the connecting plate 70. Then, one end of the shelf is inserted into the clamping groove 90, so that the shelf and the inner rail 20 are fixedly connected and integrated. Finally, the inner rail 20 is slidably connected with the outer rail 10. That is, the shelf can be connected with the inner rail 20 in a plug-in manner, which is convenient for subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the drawer sliding rail assembly 100.

[0044] In a possible implementation, the fixing plate 60 is further included for being installed on the cabinet body, and the fixing plate 60 is located at the outer side of the first plate body 11, and the first plate body 11 is fixed on the surface of the fixing plate 60.

[0045] Specifically, the surface of the fixing plate 60 away from the first plate body 11 is provided with the mounting column for being plugged with the cabinet body. In this way, after the outer rail 10 is installed on the fixing plate 60, the mounting column provided on the surface of the fixing plate 60 away from the first plate body 11 is plugged into the plugging hole of the cabinet body, so that the outer rail 10 is fixedly installed on the cabinet body, and the structure is simple and convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0046] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred embodiments of the present application, the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the patent scope of the present application; it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined without departing from the concept of the present application, and several modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the present application; therefore, any equivalent transformation and modification within the scope of the claims of the present application shall belong to the scope of the claims of the present application.
