Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of linear guide rail production technology, and in particular to a drying device for linear guide rail production. Background Technology
[0002] Linear guides, also known as linear rails, slide rails, or linear guideways, are mechanical components that achieve high-precision linear motion guidance through the cyclic rolling of rolling elements between a slider and a guide rail. During the production of linear guides, their surfaces may come into contact with coolant, lubricating oil, or other processing media, thus requiring cleaning. Cleaning results in a cleaner guide surface, facilitating subsequent processes such as drying, painting, lubrication, or assembly, thereby ensuring the effectiveness and consistency of these steps.
[0003] Patent publication number CN209877511U discloses a linear guide rail energy-saving drying device, including a main body. Slide rails are installed on both sides of the top of the main body. Several first positioning holes are arranged along the extension direction of the slide rails on the top surface of the slide rails. A mounting plate is installed on the top of the main body, with second positioning holes at each of the four corners of the top of the mounting plate. Several evenly arranged electric heating tubes are installed inside the drying chamber. A mounting hole is provided on one side of the drying chamber. A support block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate, with a hydraulic rod connected to one end of the support block. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed at one end of the main body, and the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the hydraulic rod. Although the above patent uses a mounting plate on the slide rail and connects the mounting plate and hydraulic cylinder via the hydraulic rod, allowing the mounting plate to be moved by the hydraulic cylinder, and uses the electric heating tubes installed in the drying chamber for drying, the inability to rotate the guide rails to adjust the angle during the drying process easily leads to uneven heating of the guide rails, increasing drying time and reducing drying efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, a drying device for the production of linear guides is needed to ensure that all surfaces of the guide rail are heated evenly. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing patents, which cannot adjust the angle of the guide rail due to the inability to rotate it, resulting in uneven heating of the guide rail surfaces, increased drying time, and reduced drying efficiency, this utility model provides a drying device for the production of linear guide rails that can ensure uniform heating of the guide rail surfaces.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a drying device for linear guide rail production, comprising a base, a drying oven, an infrared heating lamp, a support base, a support plate, an electric slide rail, an electric slider, and a placement seat. The drying oven is mounted on the base, and an infrared heating lamp is installed inside the drying oven. Support bases are mounted on both the front and rear sides of the base. Two support plates are fixedly connected to the tops of the two support bases. An electric slide rail is mounted on both support bases, and two electric sliders are slidably mounted on the electric slide rail. A placement seat is fixedly connected to the top of each electric slider. The device also includes a rotating ring. The system comprises a first rotating shaft, a mounting plate, a second rotating shaft, rollers, a bevel gear set, a pulley assembly, and a clamping assembly. A rotating ring is rotatably mounted on the placement base. A first rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the front side of the placement base. Two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the front side of the placement base. The two mounting plates together rotatably mount the second rotating shaft. Rollers are mounted on both ends of the second rotating shaft. A bevel gear set is mounted on both the first and second rotating shafts. A pulley assembly is mounted on both the rotating ring and the first rotating shaft. A clamping assembly is mounted on the front side of the rotating ring and is used to clamp the linear guide rail.
[0007] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a connecting ring, guide rods, clamping blocks, and elastic elements. A connecting ring is fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating ring, and two guide rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting ring. The clamping blocks are slidably mounted on the two guide rods, and elastic elements are sleeved on the guide rods. The two ends of the elastic elements are connected to the connecting ring and the clamping blocks, respectively.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes fixing buckles, air guide rings, nozzles and air pumps. Multiple fixing buckles are snapped onto the front side of the drying oven, and multiple fixing buckles are connected to an air guide ring. Multiple nozzles are evenly spaced on the air guide ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the rollers are made of rubber.
[0013] Furthermore, the nozzle is tilted forward.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a drying device for linear guide rail production, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. During the movement of the placement seat, the rollers are driven to roll, and the rolling of the rollers drives the second rotating shaft to rotate. Through the transmission of the bevel gear set and the pulley assembly, the rotating ring is driven to rotate. The rotation of the rotating ring drives the linear guide rail to rotate, thereby ensuring that the guide rail is heated evenly on all surfaces, accelerating the evaporation of moisture, and improving the drying efficiency.
[0015] 2. The air pump delivers air to the air ring through the air supply pipe. The air is sprayed out from the nozzle and blown evenly onto the surface of the linear guide rail, effectively removing water droplets from the guide rail and preventing water stains from affecting the quality of the guide rail.

[0022] The preferred technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example 1: A drying device for linear guide rail production, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-5The system includes a base 1, a drying oven 2, an infrared heating lamp 3, a support base 4, a support plate 5, an electric slide rail 6, an electric slider 7, and a placement seat 8. The drying oven 2 is mounted on the base 1, and the infrared heating lamp 3 is installed inside the drying oven 2. Support bases 4 are located on both the front and rear sides of the base 1. Two support plates 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the two support bases 4. An electric slide rail 6 is mounted on the two support bases 4, and two electric sliders 7 are slidably mounted on the electric slide rail 6. A placement seat 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric sliders 7. A rotating ring 9 is rotatably mounted on the placement seat 8. A first rotating shaft 10 is rotatably mounted on the front side of the placement seat 8. Two mounting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the front side of the placement seat 8. A second rotating shaft 12 is rotatably mounted on the two mounting plates 11. Rollers 13 are mounted on both ends of the second rotating shaft 12. A bevel gear set 14 is provided on both the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 12. A pulley set is provided on both the rotating ring 9 and the first rotating shaft 10. Component 15, a clamping assembly is provided on the front side of the rotating ring 9. The clamping assembly is used to clamp the linear guide rail. The clamping assembly includes a connecting ring 16, a guide rod 17, a clamping block 18, and an elastic element 19. The connecting ring 16 is fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating ring 9. Two guide rods 17 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the connecting ring 16. The clamping block 18 is slidably arranged on the two guide rods 17. The elastic element 19 is sleeved on the guide rods 17. The two ends of the elastic element 19 are connected to the connecting ring 16 and the clamping block 18 respectively. A pad 24 is glued to the side of the clamping block 18 that contacts the linear guide rail. The pad 24 protects the guide rail and prevents the guide rail surface from being scratched during clamping. Infrared heating lamps 3 cover the inner wall of the drying oven 2, so that the infrared heating lamps 3 radiate heating in all directions to achieve uniform drying. A sliding groove is opened on the support plate 5. The roller 13 rolls in the sliding groove, thereby limiting the roller 13. The roller 13 is made of rubber. Rubber has good wear resistance and extends the service life of the roller 13.
[0024] When the linear guide rail needs to be dried, first pull the clamping block 18 outward and stretch the elastic element 19 to place the linear guide rail between the two clamping blocks 18. After placement, release the clamping blocks 18, and the elastic element 19 will spring back and push the clamping blocks 18 inward to clamp and fix the linear guide rail, thereby fixing the linear guide rail to the rotating ring 9. After fixing, turn on the infrared heating lamp 3 and the electric slide rail 6. The electric slide rail 6 drives the electric slider 7 to move, bringing the placement seat 8 and the guide rail into the drying oven 2. The infrared heating lamp 3 irradiates the surface of the linear guide rail to dry the residual moisture. The placement seat 8 moves... During the process, the roller 13 is driven to roll, and the rolling of the roller 13 drives the second rotating shaft 12 to rotate. Through the bevel gear set 14 and the pulley assembly 15, the rotating ring 9 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the rotating ring 9 drives the linear guide rail to rotate, thereby ensuring that the guide rail is heated evenly on all sides, accelerating the evaporation of moisture and improving the drying efficiency. After drying is completed, the infrared heating lamp 3 is turned off first, and the electric slide rail 6 is controlled to continue to drive the electric slider 7 to move, so that the placement seat 8 and the guide rail are transported out of the drying oven 2. The clamp 18 is pulled outward again to release the clamping and fixing of the linear guide rail. Finally, the guide rail is removed.
[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 5 The front side of the drying oven 2 is secured with three fixing buckles 20, and the three fixing buckles 20 are connected to an air guide ring 21. Several nozzles 22 are evenly spaced on the air guide ring 21. An air pump 23 is installed on the left side of the base 1. The air supply pipe of the air pump 23 is connected to the air guide ring 21. The nozzles 22 are tilted forward to prevent water droplets on the guide rail from being blown into the drying oven 2.
[0026] Before sending the linear guide rail into the drying oven 2, start the air pump 23. When the air pump 23 is running, it delivers air to the air ring 21 through the air supply pipe. The air is sprayed out from the nozzle 22 and blown evenly onto the surface of the linear guide rail, effectively removing water droplets on the guide rail and preventing water stains from affecting the quality of the guide rail.
[0027] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
