Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum guide rails, and in particular to an aluminum guide rail that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Modern manufacturing technology is developing towards high speed, precision and modularity. The manufacturing industry is putting forward higher and higher requirements for the performance of processing equipment. This demand has promoted the development of the machine tool industry, especially CNC machine tools. The feed unit is an important functional component of modular machinery. The feed function of conventional modular production and processing equipment generally uses guide rails. The shape of the guide rails is generally round or rectangular, among which round guide rails are widely used in equipment processing.

[0003] In the current market, circular guide rails are fixed at both ends to increase their stability. However, when the guide rail is too long, the middle part will bear a lot of pressure, and the structure of the guide rail may deform. Long guide rails are also inconvenient to transport and install. Usually, two or more guide rails are used to connect them. However, if there is a large error during the connection process, it may affect the operation of the equipment on the guide rail. During the installation process, workers need to perform repeated calibrations, which greatly reduces the installation efficiency of the guide rail.

[0004] Therefore, an easy-to-install aluminum guide rail is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-install aluminum guide rail to solve the above-mentioned problems. It improves the connection between two or more guide rails. However, if there is a large error in the connection process, it may affect the operation of the equipment on the guide rail. During the installation process, workers need to perform repeated calibration, which greatly reduces the installation efficiency of the guide rail.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: an easy-to-install aluminum guide rail, comprising: a first guide rail body and a second guide rail body, wherein the first guide rail body is located at one end of the second guide rail body, and a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body.

[0007] A limiting post is movably disposed at one end of the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body that are close to each other, and is inserted into the interior of the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body respectively. A support plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the limiting post.

[0008] Two limiting components are provided, both of which are located inside the limiting post to limit the limiting post from the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body.

[0009] Preferably, both sides of the two bases are symmetrically provided with fixing grooves, and the fixing grooves are elongated.

[0010] Preferably, the two sides of the support plate are respectively attached to and slide against the inner walls of the two bases, and the horizontal height of the lower surface of the support plate is higher than the horizontal height of the lower surface of the base.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting tube is fixedly connected to one end of the first guide rail body, and a limiting ring is fixedly connected to one end of the second guide rail body. The inner diameter of the limiting ring is larger than the surface diameter of the limiting tube, and one end of the limiting tube is inserted into the interior of the limiting ring.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting component includes a gear that rotates inside the limiting post. A guide rod and a support rod are respectively meshed on one side of the gear. The support rod is located on one side of the guide rod. One side of the guide rod passes through the outer wall of the limiting post and the support plate and communicates with the outside. A limiting block is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod. One side of the limiting block passes through the limiting post and abuts against the inner wall of the first guide rail body.

[0013] Preferably, a return spring is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod, and the return spring is fixed to the inner wall of the limiting post.

[0014] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting post, the support rod slides along the inner wall of the limiting block, and the limiting block and the limiting block face the same horizontal line.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. First, place the first and second guide rail bodies coaxially, with their lower surfaces supported by a base. Then, place the limiting post between the first and second guide rail bodies. Next, insert one side of the limiting post and support plate into the interior of the first guide rail body, so that the inner wall of the first guide rail body fits against the inner wall of the limiting post. The limiting assembly will then fix the limiting post in place. Once the limiting post is fixed inside the first guide rail body, slowly move the second guide rail body so that the other side of the limiting post and support plate is inserted into the interior of the second guide rail body. When the other end of the limiting post is attached to the inner wall of the second guide rail body, the limiting component will fix the second guide rail body and the limiting post. The limiting post moves at the axis of the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body. When the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body are attached, the limiting post will be located at the splice of the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body, which greatly increases the strength and stability of the splice structure and reduces the possibility of deformation. This docking method guided by the limiting post greatly increases the docking efficiency and accuracy of the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body.

[0017] 2. When the two ends of the limiting post are inserted into the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body respectively, the inclined surfaces of the two limiting blocks will contact the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body respectively. Then the limiting blocks will retract into the limiting post. After the limiting blocks reach the predetermined positions of the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body, the limiting blocks will abut against the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body. When it is necessary to disassemble the limiting post, the guide rod needs to be pressed. The guide rod will slide towards the axis of the limiting post. The guide rod will drive the gear to rotate. The gear will drive the meshing support rod to slide. The support rod will drive the limiting blocks to slide into the limiting post. When the limiting blocks are disengaged from the first guide rail body and the second guide rail body, the limiting post can be disassembled, which greatly increases the efficiency of the installation and disassembly of the limiting post.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] In practical implementation: such as Figure 1-4 As shown, an easy-to-install aluminum guide rail includes: a first guide rail body 1, a second guide rail body 3, a limiting post 4, and a limiting component 6. The first guide rail body 1 is located at one end of the second guide rail body 3. A base 2 is fixedly connected to the lower part of both the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3. The limiting post 4 is movably disposed at the end of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 that are close to each other, and is inserted into the interior of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 respectively. A support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the limiting post 4. Two limiting components 6 are provided, and both limiting components 6 are located inside the limiting post 4 to limit the limiting post 4 and the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3.

[0025] In this way, when workers need to install the guide rail, the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 are placed coaxially. The bottom of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 are supported by the base 2. Then, the limiting post 4 is placed between the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3. Then, the limiting post 4 and one side of the support plate 5 are inserted into the interior of the first guide rail body 1. The inner wall of the first guide rail body 1 will fit against the inner wall of the limiting post 4. Then, the limiting component 6 will fix the limiting post 4.

[0026] After the limiting post 4 is fixed inside the first guide rail body 1, the second guide rail body 3 is slowly moved so that the other side of the limiting post 4 and the support plate 5 are inserted into the interior of the second guide rail body 3. When the other end of the limiting post 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the second guide rail body 3, the limiting component 6 will fix the second guide rail body 3 and the limiting post 4. The limiting post 4 moves at the axis of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3. When the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 are in contact, the limiting post 4 will be located at the splice of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3, which greatly increases the strength and stability of the splice structure and reduces the possibility of deformation. This docking method guided by the limiting post 4 greatly increases the docking efficiency and accuracy of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the two bases 2 are symmetrically provided with fixing grooves 21. The fixing grooves 21 are elongated and the fixing grooves 21 of the base 2 are waist-shaped holes. These holes can move laterally during the installation of bolts, which greatly increases the flexibility of the installation position and increases the installation efficiency.

[0028] The support plate 5 slides against the inner walls of the two bases 2 on both sides. The lower surface of the support plate 5 is at a higher level than the lower surface of the base 2. The base 2 has a sliding groove inside, which can limit and guide the support plate 5 so that the limiting post 4 will not deviate or turn when it slides inside the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3, thus improving stability.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a limiting tube 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the first guide rail body 1, and a limiting ring 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the second guide rail body 3. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 31 is larger than the surface diameter of the limiting tube 11, and one end of the limiting tube 11 is inserted into the interior of the limiting ring 31.

[0030] The limiting ring 31 and the second guide rail body 3 are integrally connected. The inside of the limiting ring 31 is grooved. The limiting tube 11 is integrally connected to the first guide rail body 1. When the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 are docked, the limiting tube 11 will be inserted into the inside of the limiting ring 31. Then the limiting ring 31 and the limiting tube 11 support each other, which increases the stability of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the limiting assembly 6 includes a gear 62 that rotates inside the limiting post 4. The gear 62 has a support shaft at its axis, and both ends of the support shaft are fixed to the inner wall of the limiting post 4. A guide rod 61 and a support rod 64 are respectively meshed and connected to one side of the gear 62. The support rod 64 is located on one side of the guide rod 61. One side of the guide rod 61 passes through the outer wall of the limiting post 4 and the support plate 5 and communicates with the outside. A limiting block 65 is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod 64. One side of the limiting block 65 passes through the limiting post 4 and abuts against the inner wall of the first guide rail body 1.

[0032] When the two ends of the limiting post 4 are inserted into the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 respectively, the inclined surfaces of the two limiting blocks 65 will contact the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 respectively. Then the limiting blocks 65 will retract into the limiting post 4. After the limiting blocks 65 reach the predetermined positions of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3, the limiting blocks 65 will abut against the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3. When it is necessary to disassemble the limiting post 4, the guide rod 61 needs to be pressed. The guide rod 61 will slide towards the axis of the limiting post 4. The guide rod 61 will push the gear 62 to rotate. The gear 62 will drive the meshing support rod 64 to slide. The support rod 64 will drive the limiting blocks 65 to slide into the limiting post 4. When the limiting blocks 65 are disengaged from the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3, the limiting post 4 can be disassembled, which greatly increases the efficiency of the installation and disassembly of the limiting post 4.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a return spring 63 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod 61. The return spring 63 is fixed to the inner wall of the limiting post 4. A limiting block 66 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting post 4. The support rod 64 slides along the inner wall of the limiting block 66. The limiting block 66 and the limiting block 65 face the same horizontal line.

[0034] The surface of the return spring 63 has a telescopic rod, which guides the return spring 63 and connects and fixes it to the guide rod 61. The return spring 63 supports the guide rod 61. When the guide rod 61 moves outward, it drives the gear 62 to rotate. The gear 62 pushes the limit block 65 to slide. By supporting the limit block 65, the fit between the limit block 65 and the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 is improved. When the limit block 65 slides, it will be in close contact with the inner wall of the limit block 66. The limit block 66 guides the limit block 65 and increases the stability of the limit block 65 during the sliding process.

[0035] When using this invention, if a worker needs to install the guide rail, firstly, the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 are placed coaxially, with the lower parts of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 supported by the base 2. Then, the limiting post 4 is placed between the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3. Next, one side of the limiting post 4 and the support plate 5 is inserted into the interior of the first guide rail body 1, so that the inner wall of the first guide rail body 1 fits against the inner wall of the limiting post 4. Then, the limiting component 6 fixes the limiting post 4. After the limiting post 4 is fixed inside the first guide rail body 1, the second guide rail body 3 is slowly moved so that the other side of the limiting post 4 and the support plate 5... The first guide rail body 1 is inserted into the interior of the second guide rail body 3. When the other end of the limiting post 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the second guide rail body 3, the limiting component 6 will fix the second guide rail body 3 and the limiting post 4. The limiting post 4 moves at the axis of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3. When the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3 are in contact, the limiting post 4 will be located at the splice of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3, which greatly increases the strength and stability of the splice structure and reduces the possibility of deformation. This docking method guided by the limiting post 4 greatly increases the docking efficiency and accuracy of the first guide rail body 1 and the second guide rail body 3.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
