Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball bearing guide technology, specifically a new type of ball bearing guide with a long service life. Background Technology

[0002] In various fields such as precision machinery and automated equipment, ball bearing guides are key transmission components, and their performance directly affects the operating accuracy and stability of the equipment.

[0003] A search revealed a patent with application number CN202322841479.9, which discloses a corrosion-resistant and rust-proof ball bearing guide rail, including a guide rail, a sliding member, and a support assembly. The sliding member includes a slider body with a mounting groove and a side groove, and a rolling member disposed in the mounting groove. The surface of the rolling member is sequentially coated with a first rust-proof layer, a second rust-proof layer, and a corrosion-resistant layer, with the second rust-proof layer located between the first rust-proof layer and the corrosion-resistant layer.

[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned patented ball guide has the following defects: during long-term use, the track cannot be lubricated, resulting in severe wear of the balls and track, which affects the service life of the ball guide. Therefore, we propose a new type of ball guide with a long service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of ball bearing guide with a long service life to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel ball bearing guide rail with a long service life, comprising a track, with storage grooves on both the left and right sides of the track, and multiple mounting holes evenly distributed on the top of the track, a slider slidably connected to the surface of the track, and balls rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the slider, with the surface of the balls in movable contact with the inner wall of the storage groove.

[0007] Furthermore, oil storage boxes are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the slider. The oil storage boxes are used to store lubricating oil. An oil injection pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the oil storage box, and a valve is installed on the oil injection pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a delivery pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the front and rear sides of the oil storage box. The delivery pump is an electric oil pump, model YB-01S. An oil suction pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the delivery pump near the oil storage box. The end of the oil suction pipe away from the delivery pump passes through the oil storage box and extends into the interior of the oil storage box.

[0009] Furthermore, a delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the delivery pump away from the oil storage box, and an oil injection pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the delivery pipe away from the delivery pump.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of nozzles are fixedly connected to the side of the oil injection pipe away from the delivery pipe, and a first fixing block is fixedly connected to the side of the nozzles near the slider.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the first fixed block near the slider. A sponge brush is detachably provided on the side of the mounting plate near the track. The sponge brush has good elasticity and adsorption properties. On the one hand, during the movement of the slider, the sponge brush can evenly apply the excess lubricant sprayed by the nozzle to the track surface, ensuring the full utilization and uniform distribution of the lubricant. On the other hand, the sponge brush can effectively adsorb dust, debris and other impurities on the track surface, preventing them from entering the contact area between the ball and the track, further reducing the risk of wear and ensuring the smooth operation of the ball guide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the shape of the sponge brush is adapted to the storage groove, and the sponge brush and the storage groove are in movable contact.

[0013] Furthermore, a second fixing block is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate near the slider, and the side of the second fixing block away from the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the slider. A hook and loop fastener is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate near the track, and a loop and loop fastener is fixedly connected to the side of the sponge brush near the mounting plate. The loop and loop fastener are bonded together. By setting the hook and loop fastener, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the sponge brush.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model utilizes a track, storage groove, mounting hole, slider, ball bearings, oil storage box, delivery pipe, delivery pump, oil spray pipe, nozzle, first fixing block, mounting plate, sponge brush, second fixing block, hook and loop fasteners, and other components working together to automatically and evenly apply lubricating oil to the track while the slider slides on it. This eliminates the need for frequent manual operation, improving lubrication efficiency and ensuring the ball bearing guide is always in a good lubricated state. This reduces friction and wear between the ball bearings and the track. Furthermore, the sponge brush effectively absorbs dust, debris, and other impurities from the track surface, preventing them from entering the contact area between the ball bearings and the track, further reducing wear risk, extending the service life of the ball bearing guide, improving equipment operating efficiency, and reducing energy consumption.

[0016] 2. By combining the hook and loop sides of the Velcro, the disassembly and replacement process of the sponge brush is greatly simplified, saving maintenance time and labor costs and improving maintenance efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6A new type of ball bearing guide with a long service life includes a track 1, with storage grooves 2 on both the left and right sides of the track 1. A slider 4 is slidably connected to the surface of the track 1, and ball bearings 5 ​​are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the slider 4. The surface of the ball bearings 5 ​​is in contact with the inner wall of the storage groove 2.

[0027] Specifically, multiple mounting holes 3 are evenly distributed on the top of track 1.

[0028] Specifically, oil storage boxes 6 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the slider 4. The oil storage boxes 6 are used to store lubricating oil. An oil injection pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the oil storage box 6, and a valve is installed on the oil injection pipe 17.

[0029] In practice, a delivery pump 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the front and rear sides of the oil storage box 6. The delivery pump 7 is an electric oil pump, model YB-01S. An oil suction pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the delivery pump 7 closest to the oil storage box 6. The end of the oil suction pipe away from the delivery pump 7 passes through the oil storage box 6 and extends into the interior of the oil storage box 6.

[0030] Specifically, a delivery pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the delivery pump 7 away from the oil storage box 6, and an oil injection pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the delivery pipe 8 away from the delivery pump 7.

[0031] In practice, multiple nozzles 10 are fixedly connected to the side of the fuel injection pipe 9 away from the delivery pipe 8, and a first fixing block 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the nozzle 10 near the slider 4.

[0032] Specifically, a mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the first fixing block 11 near the slider 4, and a sponge brush 13 is detachably provided on the side of the mounting plate 12 near the track 1.

[0033] Specifically, the sponge brush 13 has good elasticity and adsorption properties. On the one hand, during the movement of the slider, the sponge brush 13 can evenly apply the excess lubricant sprayed by the nozzle 10 to the surface of the track 1, ensuring the full utilization and uniform distribution of the lubricant. On the other hand, the sponge brush 13 can effectively adsorb dust, debris and other impurities on the surface of the track 1, preventing them from entering the contact area between the ball 5 and the track 1, further reducing the risk of wear and ensuring the smooth operation of the ball guide rail.

[0034] In practice, the shape of the sponge brush 13 is adapted to the storage groove 2, and the sponge brush 13 and the storage groove 2 are in contact.

[0035] Specifically, a second fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 12 near the slider 4, and the side of the second fixing block 14 away from the mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the slider 4.

[0036] Specifically, a hook and loop fastener 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 12 near the track 1, and a hook and loop fastener 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the sponge brush 13 near the mounting plate 12. The hook and loop fastener 16 and the hook and loop fastener 15 are bonded together.

[0037] Specifically, by setting up the hook side 15 and the loop side 16 of the Velcro, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the sponge brush 13.

[0038] In practical applications: When the slider 4 moves on the track 1, the delivery pump 7 is activated, which draws lubricating oil from the oil storage box 6 and delivers it to the nozzle 10 through the delivery pipe 8 and the spray pipe 9. As the slider 4 moves, it sprays lubricating oil onto the inner wall of the storage groove 2. At the same time, the movement of the slider 4 drives the sponge brush 13 to evenly coat the inner wall of the storage groove 2 with lubricating oil, so that the ball bearing 5 can move under good lubrication conditions, effectively reducing the wear of the ball bearing 5 and the track 1, thereby greatly improving the service life of the ball bearing track.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
