Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of linear guide rail technology, specifically a machine tool linear guide rail with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] Linear guideways are guide systems used in machine tools to support and guide the precise linear motion of machine tool components such as the worktable and cutting tools. Linear guideways achieve low-friction, high-precision motion through the rolling of balls or rollers between the slider and the guide rail, ensuring that the machine tool maintains stable machining accuracy even under prolonged high-speed operation.

[0003] Existing technologies lack effective protective measures for linear guideways. During use, dust or impurities inevitably accumulate on the guideway surface. As the slider slides on the guideway, these impurities cause irremovable scratches on the contact surfaces of both the slider and the guideway, increasing the friction between them and severely affecting the service life of the linear guideway. Therefore, we propose a machine tool linear guideway with a protective structure. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-5As shown, in this embodiment, a machine tool linear guide with a protective structure includes a mounting frame 1, a guide rail 2 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1, a mounting seat 4 slidably sleeved on the guide rail 2, a lead screw 5 on the mounting frame 1, four sets of symmetrically distributed fixing frames 6 on the mounting seat 4, and a positioning frame 7 on each of the four sets of fixing frames 6. The positioning frame 7 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 6 via a rotating rod 8. Two sets of symmetrically distributed rubber brushes 12 are fixedly mounted on the positioning frame 7, and the two sets of rubber brushes 12 are in contact with the side of the guide rail 2. Two sets of symmetrically distributed mounting rods 13 are provided on the fixing frame 6, and two sets of symmetrically distributed belts 15 are sleeved on the two sets of fixing frames 6. A friction belt 16 is fixedly installed between the two sets of belts 15, and the friction belt 16 is in contact with the rubber brushes 12. A scraper 1 is provided on the fixing frame 6. 7. The scraper 17 is in contact with the surface of the friction belt 16. Two sets of symmetrically distributed oil pipes 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting base 4. Two sets of symmetrically distributed oil inlet grooves 23 are opened inside the mounting base 4. The oil inlet grooves 23 are correspondingly arranged with the oil pipes 22. The motor on the mounting frame 1 drives the screw 5 to rotate, and under the limiting action of the guide rail 2, the mounting base 4 drives the fixed frame 6 to slide at a uniform speed on the guide rail 2. The guide rail 2 is fitted with a guide block 3. The two ends of the screw 5 pass through the mounting frame 1 and are rotatably connected to the mounting frame 1 through bearings. The screw 5 passes through the mounting base 4 and is threadedly connected to the mounting base 4. A gear 9 is fitted on the rotating rod 8. A cylinder 11 is installed inside the fixed frame 6. A rack 10 is installed inside the fixed frame 6. The rack 10 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 6. The rack 10 is connected to the piston of the cylinder 11. The output end of the 25 rod is connected, and the rack 10 meshes with the gear 9. During the sliding process of the mounting base 4 driving the fixing frame 6, the rubber brush 12 on the fixing frame 6 scrapes against the two sides of the guide rail 2, effectively cleaning the impurities adhering to the surface of the guide rail 2. Some of the impurities adhere to the rubber brush 12 in contact with the guide rail 2. The cylinder 11 is periodically started to drive the rack 10 to slide, which, in conjunction with the gear 9, causes the rotating rod 8 to drive the positioning frame 7 to rotate, realizing the conversion of the two sets of rubber brushes 12. The rubber brush 12 used in the previous set corresponds to the friction belt 16 after conversion. The two ends of the two sets of mounting rods 13 pass through the fixing frame 6 and are rotatably connected to the fixing frame 6 through bearings. Two sets of symmetrically distributed pulleys 14 are sleeved on each of the two sets of mounting rods 13, and the belts 15 are respectively connected to the two sets of belts. The wheel 14 is connected to the drive system. The motor on the fixed frame 6 drives the rotation of the mounting rod 13, which in turn drives the friction belt 16 through the belt 15 and pulley 14. During the transmission process, the friction belt 16 scrapes against the rubber brush 12, cleaning the impurities adhering to the surface of the rubber brush 12. The impurities adhering to the rubber brush 12 are removed when the friction belt 16 scrapes against the scraper 17 during the transmission process. A slide rod 19 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 6. Two sets of symmetrically distributed springs 20 are sleeved on the slide rod 19. The scraper 17 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 6 through a slider 18. The slider 18 is slidably sleeved with the slide rod 19. Both ends of the two sets of springs 20 are fixedly connected to the slider 18 and the fixed frame 6, respectively. A cam 21 is rotatably installed inside the fixed frame 6.The cam 21 is fitted to the surface of the slider 18. A motor on the mounting bracket 6 drives the cam 21 to rotate. When the cam 21 rotates, it pushes the slider 18 and compresses the spring 20 on the slide rod 19, causing the scraper 17 to vibrate up and down on the slide rod 19. The auxiliary scraper 17 shakes off the impurities cleaned from the friction belt 16, completing the cleaning of the friction belt 16 and the rubber brush 12.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, four sets of symmetrically distributed rubber sheets 24 are fixedly installed inside the oil pipe 22 near the oil inlet groove 23. An oil inlet 28 is provided above the oil pipe 22. A fixing rod 29 is fixedly installed at the end of the oil pipe 22 away from the mounting base 4. A piston 25 is slidably installed inside the oil pipe 22. A push rod 27 is fixedly installed on the piston 25. The push rod 27 is slidably connected to the fixing rod 29 and the oil pipe 22. A screw 26 is rotatably installed inside the fixing rod 29. The end of the screw 26 near the oil pipe 22 passes through the push rod 27 and is connected to the push rod 27. During the sliding process of the threaded connection and mounting base 4, the motors in the two sets of fixed rods 29 are started to drive the corresponding screws 26 to rotate at low speed. Under the limiting action of the fixed rods 29, the push rod 27 drives the piston 25 to move slowly forward in the oil pipe 22. The lubricating oil injected into the oil pipe 22 through the oil inlet 28 passes through the rubber sheet 24 and is evenly applied between the contact surfaces of the mounting base 4 and the guide rail 2 through the oil inlet groove 23. During the uniform sliding process of the mounting base 4, the surface of the guide rail 2 is evenly coated with lubricating oil.

[0025] This utility model provides a machine tool linear guide rail with a protective structure. The specific working principle is as follows: The motor on the mounting bracket 1 drives the lead screw 5 to rotate, and under the limiting action of the guide rail 2, the mounting seat 4 drives the fixed bracket 6 to slide uniformly on the guide rail 2. During the sliding process, the rubber brush 12 on the fixed bracket 6 scrapes against the two sides of the guide rail 2, effectively cleaning the impurities adhering to the surface of the guide rail 2. Some of the impurities adhere to the rubber brush 12 in contact with the guide rail 2. Periodically, the cylinder 11 drives the rack 10 to slide, which, in conjunction with the gear 9, causes the rotating rod 8 to drive the positioning bracket 7 to rotate, realizing the switching between two sets of rubber brushes 12. The previously used set of rubber brushes 12 corresponds to the friction belt 16 after switching. The motor on the fixed bracket 6 drives the mounting rod 13 to rotate, and in conjunction with the belt 15 and pulley 14, realizes the transmission of the friction belt 16. During the transmission process, the friction belt 16 scrapes against the rubber brush 12, completing the cleaning of the impurities adhering to the surface of the rubber brush 12. After the impurities adhering to the rubber brush 12 are attached to the friction belt 16, they are removed when the friction belt 16 scrapes against the scraper 17 during its transmission. The motor on the fixed frame 6 drives the cam 21 to rotate. When the cam 21 rotates, it pushes the slider 18 and squeezes the spring 20 on the slide rod 19, causing the scraper 17 to vibrate up and down on the slide rod 19. The auxiliary scraper 17 shakes off the impurities cleaned from the friction belt 16, completing the cleaning of the friction belt 16 and the rubber brush 12. During the sliding of the mounting base 4, the motors in the two sets of fixed rods 29 are started to drive the corresponding screws 26 to rotate at low speed. Under the limiting action of the fixed rods 29, the push rod 27 drives the piston 25 to move slowly forward in the oil pipe 22. The lubricating oil injected into the oil pipe 22 through the oil inlet 28 passes through the rubber sheet 24 and is evenly applied between the contact surfaces of the mounting base 4 and the guide rail 2 through the oil inlet groove 23. During the uniform sliding of the mounting base 4, the surface of the guide rail 2 is evenly coated with lubricating oil.
