Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of adjustment support equipment technology, specifically to a side support adjustment device that can move vertically. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, traditional support devices generally suffer from significant functional limitations (limited functionality, insufficient adjustment precision, and inadequate stability). These devices are mostly designed to be relatively simple, providing support only in a fixed direction and lacking the ability to flexibly adjust the vertical height of the support position. This limitation significantly restricts their adaptability and practicality in different application scenarios.

[0003] While some adjustable support devices exist on the market, these devices are often complex in structure, increasing manufacturing costs and sacrificing some degree of adjustment precision and stability. Especially in applications requiring simultaneous vertical movement and precise lateral support adjustment, these devices often fail to meet users' combined demands for high precision, high stability, and flexible adjustability. For example, some simple slide mechanisms, while achieving vertical movement to some extent, are significantly inadequate in lateral support adjustment. These devices typically lack a stable and reliable lateral support adjustment mechanism, leading to deviations or instability under heavy loads or during precision operations. Traditional screw-adjustable support structures, while offering some adjustment capabilities, suffer from significant limitations in vertical movement. Screw adjustment is not only cumbersome and inefficient but also difficult to effectively integrate with vertical movement functionality. This design flaw renders traditional screw-adjustable support structures unsuitable for complex and varied support requirements. Therefore, developing a device capable of simultaneously achieving vertical position adjustment and precise lateral support adjustment is crucial.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this disclosure and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of at least one of the above technical problems, this disclosure provides a vertically movable side support adjustment device, which aims to solve the technical problems of traditional support devices having single function and inconvenient adjustment. It can realize the vertical position adjustment of the supported object and the precise adjustment of the lateral support distance, so as to improve the stability and flexibility of the support.

[0006] Specifically, the side support adjustment device includes a lever cylinder, a movable slider, a lateral adjustment support mechanism, and a dovetail groove slide. The lateral adjustment support mechanism includes a lead screw and a support base. The dovetail groove slide has a vertical dovetail groove. The lever cylinder and the lead screw are threaded together to adjust the lateral support displacement. One end of the lead screw is connected to the support base. The lateral adjustment support mechanism is threadedly connected to a threaded hole on the movable slider. The movable slider is connected to the lever cylinder. The side of the movable slider has a guide protrusion, which slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the dovetail groove.

[0007] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the lead screw has a single-line triangular thread structure, which can improve the accuracy and smoothness of the lateral movement of the lead screw.

[0008] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the lever is an aluminum alloy part with an oxide film on its surface, which can improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0009] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the guide protrusion surface of the movable slider is provided with a lubricating coating, which can further reduce the friction of the movable slider during vertical movement.

[0010] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the contact surface between the support base and the supported object is provided with a buffer pad. The rubber buffer pad has a Shore hardness of A40-A60 and a thickness of 5-10 mm, which is used to buffer vibration during the support process and protect the supported object.

[0011] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least one of the following technical effects or advantages:

[0012] 1. The overall structure is simple and easy to use and maintain. The slider is connected to the lever cylinder, which moves vertically with the lever cylinder, thus achieving vertical movement. The lead screw is connected to the support base. By rotating the lead screw, the support base can be moved relative to the supported object along the axis of the lead screw, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the lateral support distance, improving the stability of the support, and meeting the support requirements under different working conditions.

[0013] 2. By using the guide protrusion and dovetail groove of the movable slider, the stability of vertical movement is ensured and the deviation of the movable slider is prevented. Furthermore, the dovetail groove slide can be made of high-strength wear-resistant material to improve the durability of the device. Attached Figure Description

The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application are used to distinguish the described objects and do not have any sequential or technical meaning. And the terms "connection" and "linkage," unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0019] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example

[0020] This example discloses a vertically movable side support adjustment device, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-3 When the loaded object exerts a downward force on the movable slider 2, the movable slider 2 will slide downward under its influence, thereby generating vertical displacement; rotating the lead screw 4 of the lateral support adjustment mechanism causes the support seat 5 to move relative to the supported object along the axial direction of the lead screw 4, thereby realizing the adjustment of the lateral support distance. This side support adjustment device includes a lever cylinder 1, a movable slider 2, a lateral adjustment support mechanism (including lead screw 4 and support seat 5), and a dovetail groove slide 3.

[0021] The lateral adjustment support mechanism is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the movable slider 2. The lateral adjustment support mechanism includes a lead screw 4 and a support base 5. The lead screw 4 is 110 mm long and 24 mm in diameter. Considering the accuracy and stability of the lateral movement of the lead screw 4, a lead screw with a single-line triangular thread structure is adopted, with a thread pitch of 1 mm. It can generate axial displacement according to the screw drive. The distance moved axially by one rotation of the thread is 1 mm. One end of the lead screw 4 is connected to the support base 5 for contact with the supported object. By rotating the lead screw 4, the support base 5 can move relative to the supported object along the axial direction of the lead screw 4, thereby realizing the adjustment of the lateral support distance. The surface of the support base 5 in contact with the supported object is provided with a rubber buffer pad with a thickness of 5-10 mm and a Shore hardness of A40-A60, which is used to buffer vibration during the support process and protect the supported object. The inner diameter of the lever cylinder 1 is 28mm, the outer diameter is 30mm, and the length is 120mm. The lever cylinder is made of aluminum alloy, and its surface is anodized to form an oxide film with a thickness of 0.05-0.1mm, which can improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance, thereby improving the durability of the device. It can adjust the lateral support displacement by threading with the lead screw 4. The movable slider 2 has overall dimensions of 40 mm in length, 20 mm in width, and 60 mm in height. It is connected to the lever cylinder 1 and can move vertically with the lever cylinder 1. The movable slider 2 has a guide protrusion 21 on its side, which cooperates with the inner wall of the dovetail groove 31 of the dovetail groove slide table 3 to prevent the movable slider 2 from deviating during sliding. In order to reduce the friction of the movable slider 2 during vertical movement, a polytetrafluoroethylene coating with a thickness of 0.1-0.2 mm is provided on the surface of the guide protrusion 21. The fluorine atoms on the polytetrafluoroethylene molecular chain form a highly regular arrangement structure, making its surface very smooth and having very low surface energy. This low surface energy characteristic reduces the contact area between the coating and other materials, thereby reducing friction. In addition, the surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene coating does not easily adhere to other substances and has good non-stick properties. This non-stick property further reduces the frictional resistance between the coating and other materials. The inner wall of the dovetail groove 31 has a smooth inner surface, which can further reduce the friction during the vertical movement of the moving slider. The dovetail groove slide 3 is 20mm wide and 250mm high, and is made of high-strength wear-resistant material to ensure the stability and durability of the structure.

[0022] When assembling the vertically movable side support adjustment device, first install the lead screw 4 in a suitable position to ensure that it can rotate freely; then install the lever cylinder 1 and the lead screw 4 with threaded connection; then connect the movable slider 2 to the lever cylinder 1, while ensuring that the guide protrusion 21 on the side of the movable slider 2 fits well with the dovetail groove 31 of the dovetail groove slide 3; then install the lateral support adjustment mechanism, connect the lead screw 4 to the support base 5, and thread it to the threaded hole on the movable slider 2; finally, fix the dovetail groove slide 3 in the required position.

[0023] Regarding the maintenance and upkeep of the device, it is necessary to regularly check whether the connection between the lever cylinder 1, the movable slider 2 and the lateral support adjustment mechanism is loose. If it is loose, it should be tightened in time. Check whether the inner wall of the dovetail groove 31 of the dovetail groove slide table 3 is worn. If it is worn, it should be replaced or repaired in time. At the same time, the device should be kept clean to avoid dust and debris from entering and affecting the normal operation of the device.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0025] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of its inventive concept. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of this utility model fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
