The guide post includes a guide post, a first sealing ring, and a second sealing ring. A groove is provided on the lower end of the guide post. An upper guide sleeve and a lower guide sleeve are fitted around the outer side of the guide post. The first sealing ring is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the upper guide sleeve. Oil injection holes are provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the upper guide sleeve. An oil collection groove is provided inside the upper part of the upper guide sleeve. A first lubrication groove is provided on the upper part of the inner side of the lower guide sleeve, and a second lubrication groove is provided below the first lubrication groove. Several ball bearings are provided inside both the upper and lower guide sleeves. During use, the first sealing ring seals the upper opening of the upper guide sleeve, and the conical soft layer intercepts the lubricating oil adhering to the guide post, collecting it in the oil collection groove. This allows for long-term use without affecting the operation of the guide post. The second sealing ring seals the lower opening of the lower guide sleeve, and the telescopic sleeve scrapes the lubricating oil adhering to the lower part of the guide post into the lower guide sleeve, preventing lubricating oil leakage from the lower guide sleeve opening and causing waste. In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the prior art:

[0004] The aforementioned guide sleeve has a limited applicable length and cannot be produced in large-area coverage situations, resulting in reduced applicability. Furthermore, the production process has not improved positioning accuracy, leaving room for improvement.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1.

The lower end face of the lower guide layer 3 is fixed with the inclined layer 4.

[0025] Among them, the upper guide layer 1 and the lower guide layer 3 are the core components. The arc-shaped grooves opened on the inner walls of the upper guide layer 1 and the lower guide layer 3 make the guide sleeve have a longer service life. The telescopic layer 2 makes the guide sleeve have a wider range of applications. The inclined layer 4 makes the guide sleeve have more precise positioning.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 will be further described in detail below with reference to the specific working method, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown below, see details:

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the upper guide layer 1 includes a high-strength alloy steel layer 11, a copper-based graphite self-lubricating composite layer 12, a silicon carbide ceramic coating 13, and a first annular groove 14. The copper-based graphite self-lubricating composite layer 12 is fixed to the inner side of the high-strength alloy steel layer 11, and the silicon carbide ceramic coating 13 is disposed on the side of the copper-based graphite self-lubricating composite layer 12 away from the high-strength alloy steel layer 11. The first annular groove 14 is formed on the inner side of the silicon carbide ceramic coating 13. The high-strength alloy steel layer 11 is a steel material that has undergone special alloying and heat treatment processes, and has excellent mechanical properties and comprehensive characteristics, possessing high strength and high hardness, excellent wear resistance, good toughness, and excellent fatigue performance. The copper-based graphite self-lubricating composite layer 12 has excellent self-lubricating properties, good wear resistance, high thermal conductivity, good anti-galling properties, and has the function of shock absorption and noise reduction. The silicon carbide ceramic coating 13 has extremely high hardness, excellent wear resistance, good high temperature resistance, low coefficient of friction, and good fatigue resistance.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the lower guide layer 3 includes a lower guide sleeve 31 and a second annular groove 32, and the inner wall of the lower guide sleeve 31 is provided with the second annular groove 32, and both the first annular groove 14 and the second annular groove 32 are spiral structures.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic layer 2 includes a limiting sleeve 21, a telescopic cylinder 22, and a spring 23, wherein the telescopic cylinder 22 is slidably disposed on the inner side of the limiting sleeve 21, and the spring 23 is disposed on the outer side of the limiting sleeve 21.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the inclined layer 4 includes an inclined sleeve 41 and a third annular groove 42, and the inner wall of the inclined sleeve 41 is provided with a third annular groove 42, which is an annular groove with a spiral structure having an inclined angle.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the inclined sleeve 41 has an inverted conical structure, and the lower end hole diameter of the inclined sleeve 41 is smaller than the upper end hole diameter of the inclined sleeve 41.

[0033] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The guide sleeve adopts a high-strength alloy steel layer 11, a copper-based graphite self-lubricating composite layer 12, and a silicon carbide ceramic coating 13. The high-strength alloy steel layer 11 is a steel that has undergone special alloying and heat treatment processes, possessing excellent mechanical properties and comprehensive characteristics, including high strength and high hardness, excellent wear resistance, good toughness, and excellent fatigue performance. The copper-based graphite self-lubricating composite layer 12 has excellent self-lubricating properties, good wear resistance, high thermal conductivity, good anti-galling properties, and also has the function of shock absorption and noise reduction. The silicon carbide ceramic coating 13 has extremely high hardness, excellent wear resistance, good high temperature resistance, low coefficient of friction, and good fatigue resistance, making the guide sleeve have extremely excellent quality. In terms of performance, the guide sleeve features a chamfered design on both the upper and lower ends, making installation easier and faster. During use, the first annular groove 14 in the upper guide layer 1, the second annular groove 32 in the lower guide layer 3, and the third annular groove 42 in the inclined layer 4 can all store grease, increasing the retention time of the grease on the guide sleeve and reducing the number of times the guide sleeve needs to be greased. Furthermore, the design of the telescopic layer 2 allows the guide sleeve to adapt to more usage environments and perform greater telescopic positioning, increasing the applicability of the guide sleeve. The use of the inclined sleeve 41 in the inclined layer 4 enables the guide sleeve to help production equipment perform more precise positioning, resulting in higher quality parts, reduced material waste, and lower production costs.

[0034] Because a convex ring is designed at the upper edge of the telescopic cylinder 22, the guide sleeve will not cause the limiting sleeve 21 and the telescopic cylinder 22 to fall off during use due to vertical extension and contraction. Furthermore, the convex ring fits perfectly into the internal groove of the limiting sleeve 21, so the limiting sleeve 21 and the telescopic cylinder 22 will not tilt during use. The above is the working principle of this self-lubricating guide sleeve structure.
