[0002] In modern industry, slide rails are an indispensable part of mechanical equipment and are widely used in various drawers, cabinets, office furniture and precision instruments. The quality of slide rails is directly related to the service life of the product and the user experience. In order to ensure that the slide rails can move smoothly and withstand a certain load, the ball bearings (or steel balls) need to be precisely installed and lubricating oil needs to be applied in appropriate positions to reduce friction during the assembly process.

These problems may lead to a decrease in yield and an increase in costs. In addition, long hours of manual labor can also put a physical burden on workers.

[0026] Traditional slide rail assembly, lubrication, and ball bearing installation usually rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to assembly errors, such as ball bearing misalignment or uneven lubrication. These problems may lead to a decrease in yield and an increase in costs. In addition, long hours of manual labor can also put a physical burden on workers.

[0027] Therefore, developing a device that can automatically complete the tasks of oiling and ball loading is of great significance for improving the overall level of the slide rail manufacturing industry.

[0028] The design concept of this application is to use machinery to replace manual labor for slide rail lubrication and ball bearing assembly. This reduces labor intensity, and the slide rail position detection, lubrication and ball bearing assembly are completed automatically without manual intervention. This avoids problems such as ball bearing position misalignment or uneven lubrication, and ensures product production quality.

[0029] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides an automatic oiling and bead-loading device for slide rail assembly, including a controller and a material preparation table 1. The material preparation table 1 is connected to a workstation 2. A bracket is provided on the side of the workstation 2, and a photoelectric sensor is provided on the bracket. A linear slide 3 is provided above the workstation 2. An oiling mechanism and a bead-loading mechanism are provided on the upper slide of the linear slide 3. The photoelectric sensor, the oiling mechanism, and the bead-loading mechanism are electrically connected to the controller.

[0030] The material preparation table 1 is provided with a steel ball frame guide groove 4; the work station 2 is provided with a slide rail limiting groove 5, and the slide rail limiting groove 5 and the steel ball frame guide groove 4 are positioned opposite each other.

[0031] In use, the slide rail 100 is located in the slide rail limiting groove 5, and the left end of the ball bearing frame 200 is located in the ball bearing frame guide groove 4. The ball loading mechanism can push the ball bearing frame 200 from the ball bearing frame guide groove 4 into the slide rail 100 for assembly.

[0032] The linear slide 3 can be a ball screw linear slide, a synchronous belt linear slide, an electric linear slide, or a pneumatic linear slide; the user can choose the type of linear slide according to their own actual situation.

[0033] The oiling mechanism includes an oiling slide 6 slidably mounted on a linear slide 3, an oiling cylinder 7 is provided on the oiling slide 6, the oiling cylinder 7 is connected to an oiling plate 8, an oiling nozzle 9 is provided on the oiling plate 8, and the oiling nozzle 9 faces inward towards the slide rail 100; the oiling nozzle 9 is connected to an oil injection pump, and the oil injection pump is connected to an oil storage tank. Through the above design, it is easier to oil the slide rail.

[0034] In use, the oiling cylinder 7 extends and retracts vertically. When oiling is needed, the oiling cylinder 7 extends downwards, and the oiling plate 8, along with the oil injector 9, extends downwards and approaches the slide rail 100 (which facilitates more concentrated oil spraying). The oil injection pump and the oil injector 9 are activated, the linear slide 3 is activated, the oiling cylinder 7 moves to the right, and the oil injector 9 moves along with it and continuously sprays oil into the slide rail 100. After the oil spraying is completed, the oil injection pump and the oil injector 9 are turned off, the oiling cylinder 7 moves to the left end of the linear slide 3, the oiling cylinder 7 retracts upwards, the linear slide 3 is activated, and the oiling cylinder 7 returns to the right end of the linear slide 3, waiting for the next slide rail 100 to be oiled.

[0035] The bead loading mechanism includes a bead loading carriage 10 slidably mounted on a linear slide table 3. A bead loading cylinder 11 is provided on the bead loading carriage 10, and a push plate 12 is connected to the bead loading cylinder 11. Through the above design, it is easier to push the bead loading carriage.

[0036] In use, the ball-loading cylinder 11 extends and retracts vertically. When it is necessary to load balls, the ball-loading cylinder 11 extends downward, and the push plate 12 extends downward to contact the right end of the ball holder 200. The linear slide 3 starts, the ball-loading cylinder 11 moves to the right, the push plate 12 moves along with it and pushes the ball holder 200 through the ball holder guide groove 4 into the slide rail 100 for assembly. After the loading is completed, the ball-loading cylinder 11 retracts upward, the linear slide 3 starts, and the ball-loading cylinder 11 returns to the right end of the linear slide 3, waiting for the next ball holder 200 to be loaded.

[0037] The photoelectric sensor faces the slide rail 100. In use, the photoelectric sensor detects whether the slide rail 100 exists and feeds the detection information back to the controller for processing.

[0038] In this application, the steel ball frame 200 is placed on the preparation table 1, with the left end of the steel ball frame 200 located in the steel ball frame guide groove 4, which facilitates subsequent pushing (this process can be operated by mechanical equipment). The photoelectric sensor detects that there is a slide rail 100 on the workstation table 2. The controller controls the linear slide table 3, the oiling mechanism and the ball loading mechanism to start. The oiling cylinder 7 of the oiling mechanism descends, and the oiling mechanism sprays oil onto the slide rail 100 while moving the oil nozzle 9 on it. At the same time, the ball loading cylinder 11 of the ball loading mechanism descends, and the ball loading mechanism pushes the steel ball frame 200 along the steel ball frame guide groove 4 while moving the push plate 12 on it until the steel ball frame 200 is pushed to the required position on the slide rail 100. This cycle is repeated to oil the slide rail 100 and assemble the steel ball frame 200.

Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions to the embodiments of the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions should all be within the scope of the present invention. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should also be included within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
