AI Technical Summary
When the slide of a heavy-duty horizontal lathe slides on the lathe guide rail, its own weight causes high friction, which affects the smoothness of sliding and machining accuracy.
An auxiliary guide rail is added to the front face of the lathe bed, and a sliding groove is set on the slide to slide and connect with the auxiliary guide rail. At the same time, a roller assembly is installed in the fixed groove to reduce friction and improve sliding smoothness.
By designing auxiliary guideways and roller assemblies, friction is reduced, improving the linear feed accuracy and smoothness of the slide box, thus enhancing the practicality of the lathe.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe guide rail technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary guide rail device for moving the slide of a heavy-duty horizontal lathe. Background Technology
[0002] The lathe apron is a component that slides along the lathe guide rails and drives the cutting tool. It is also called a slide plate. The lathe apron is the control box for the lathe's feed motion, containing a mechanism that converts the rotary motion of the lead screw and feed bar into the linear motion of the tool post. It is one of the main components of a lathe.
[0003] Currently, the slides on heavy-duty horizontal lathes are large in size and weight. When sliding on the lathe guide rails, the friction caused by their own weight is large, resulting in difficult and unsmooth sliding. This also affects the rotation of the lead screw and feed rod on the slide, leading to poor machining accuracy of the lathe's linear feed.
[0004] In view of this, we have studied and improved the existing problems and provided a heavy-duty horizontal lathe slide movement auxiliary guide device. The aim of this technology is to solve the problems and improve its practical value. Utility Model Content

The lathe slide has a sliding groove on its back, and the lathe slide is slidably installed on the auxiliary guide rail through the sliding groove.
[0008] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the auxiliary guide rail of the heavy-duty horizontal lathe slide moving auxiliary guide rail device of this utility model is "L" shaped when viewed from the side and long strip-shaped when viewed from above, and the interior of the auxiliary guide rail is evenly provided with multiple screw holes in a horizontally spaced manner.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a specific technical implementation scheme for an auxiliary guide rail device for moving the slide of a heavy-duty horizontal lathe:
[0023] A heavy-duty horizontal lathe slide moving auxiliary guide rail device includes: a lathe bed 1, an auxiliary guide rail 2, an upper fixing groove 3, a lower fixing groove 4, a roller assembly 5, screw holes 6, a lathe slide 7, and a sliding groove 8; the auxiliary guide rail 2 is fixedly installed on the front end face of the lathe bed 1 by bolts through multiple screw holes 6 on its back; the upper fixing groove 3 is opened in the upper part of the auxiliary guide rail 2, and the roller assembly 5 is installed inside the upper fixing groove 3; the lower fixing groove 4 is opened in the lower part of the auxiliary guide rail 2, and the roller assembly 5 is installed inside the lower fixing groove 4; the lathe slide 7 has a sliding groove 8 on its back, and the lathe slide 7 is slidably installed on the auxiliary guide rail 2 through the sliding groove 8.
[0024] Specifically, the auxiliary guide rail 2 is L-shaped when viewed from the side and elongated when viewed from above. The interior of the auxiliary guide rail 2 has multiple screw holes 6 arranged horizontally at intervals. When the auxiliary guide rail 2 slides in conjunction with the slide groove 8, it can reduce the friction caused by the weight of the lathe slide 7 and the lathe guide rail on the lathe bed 1, so as to play an auxiliary sliding role and improve the feed accuracy of the slide box.
[0025] Specifically, the slide 8 is viewed as an "L" shape, and the slide 8 and the auxiliary guide rail 2 are connected in a clearance fit sliding manner. The slide 8 and the auxiliary guide rail 2 form a moving auxiliary guide rail device for the slide of a heavy-duty horizontal lathe.
[0026] Specifically, the roller assembly 5 consists of rollers and a fixed plate, and the roller assembly 5 is fixedly installed inside the upper fixed groove 3 and the lower fixed groove 4 through the fixed plate. The roller assembly 5 can reduce the friction between the slide groove 8 and the auxiliary guide rail 2 when sliding, making them slide more smoothly.
[0027] Specific implementation steps:
[0028] During use, the lathe slide 7 moves normally on the lead screw and feed rod. Then, through the cooperation of the auxiliary guide rail 2 fixedly installed on the lathe bed 1 and the slide groove 8 opened on the lathe slide 7, it can further act as an auxiliary guide rail during sliding, which can reduce the large friction caused by the large weight of the slide box, making its feed movement smoother and improving its accuracy.
[0029] In summary, this heavy-duty horizontal lathe slide movement auxiliary guide rail device, by adding an auxiliary guide rail to the front face of the lathe bed and slidingly connecting it to the lathe slide, can assist in the linear motion of the slide box, reduce the friction between the slide and the lathe guide rail, make the lead screw and feed rod rotate more smoothly, thereby improving the feed accuracy of the lathe and making it more practical. Furthermore, by installing roller assemblies inside the upper and lower fixed grooves, the sliding between the auxiliary guide rail and the slide grooves is further made easier and smoother, thus improving the feed accuracy of the slide box and making it more practical, thus solving the problems existing in the prior art.
[0030] 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.
