[0002] Linear guides are used in high-precision or high-speed linear reciprocating motion applications and can withstand a certain amount of torque. They can achieve high-precision linear motion under high loads. The working principle can be understood as a rolling guide, in which steel balls roll and circulate infinitely between the slider and the guide rail, thereby enabling the load platform to move easily and linearly along the guide rail with high precision. The coefficient of friction is reduced to one-fiftieth of that of traditional sliding guides, which can easily achieve very high positioning accuracy. However, traditional linear guides have certain defects, such as an unreasonable return mechanism, which leads to increased friction between steel balls and between steel balls and the inner core when the steel balls switch channels, affecting the operation and lubrication of the linear guide.

[0025] The first embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] A T-shaped internal circulation rolling linear slide rail pair includes a slide rail 1, which has a U-shaped structure and includes a base plate and vertical plates located on both sides of the base plate. The upper part of the vertical plates is provided with a rail groove 20, and the extension direction of the rail groove 20 is the same as the extension direction of the slide rail 1. The base plate is provided with several through holes 2, and mounting bolts 3 are detachably installed in the through holes 2. The linear slide rail pair can be installed in a predetermined position by means of the mounting bolts 3.

[0027] Several sliders 9 are movably arranged on the slide rail 1. The sliders 9 can move back and forth. A number of sliders 9 can be installed according to the actual situation. Two return rails 14 are provided inside the slider 9. The lower part of the slider 9 is provided with a groove and cooperates with the rail groove 20 to form a bearing rail.

[0028] The return assembly includes an end cap 7, inside which an inner core 8 is detachably mounted. Three positioning holes 16 are provided at the end of the slider 9. Three positioning pins 17 are provided at the end of the inner core 8 facing the slider 9. The positioning pins 17 are inserted into the positioning holes 16 to ensure relative positioning of the inner core 8 and the slider 9. This prevents the inner core from slightly shifting due to vibration or impact during long-term use, thus eliminating the possibility of the edge of the inner core colliding with the steel ball due to slight displacement. The end cap 7 is detachably fixed to both ends of the slider 9. The inner core 8 is located between the end cap 7 and the slider 9. A return groove 18 is provided at the end of the end cap 7 facing the slider 9, and an arc surface 19 adapted to the return groove 18 is provided at the end of the inner core 8 facing the end cap 7. The return groove 18 and the arc surface 19 form the return tube. The return pipe is connected to the return track 14 and the carrying track at its upper and lower ends, respectively. Both the return track 14 and the carrying track are connected to the return component to form a loop structure. Several steel balls 4 are movably arranged inside the loop structure. During the movement of the slider 9, the steel balls 4 continuously circulate inside the loop structure. The arc surface 19 and the steel balls cooperate with each other to make the steel balls turn very smoothly, eliminating the impact on the inner core when the steel balls turn. With the help of the oil passage, lubricating oil is injected into the inner core, so that the turning part of the inner core can be fully lubricated. When the slider 9 is running, the steel balls 4 turn on the same side of the return component on both sides of the slide rail 1, enter the return track of the slider 9, and then return to the carrying track through the other end of the return component. The return structure is simple and efficient, small in size, high in load capacity, and has a certain dustproof performance.

[0029] The lower part of the end cover 7 is provided with a protrusion that matches the rail groove 20. During the movement of the slider 9, the protrusion is coupled with the rail groove 20 to prevent the whole from accidentally detaching.

[0030] An oil passage is provided on the end cap 7, which is connected to the circulation structure. An oil nozzle 5 is provided on the outer end of the oil passage in a detachable manner. Lubricating oil can be replenished through the oil passage. The lubricating oil enters the circulation structure to lubricate the steel ball 4. After the oil nozzle 5 is installed, lubricating oil leakage is prevented and the seal is dustproof.

[0031] The return component and slider 9 are fixed by two connecting structures. The first connecting structure connects slider 9, inner core 8 and end cap 7 into one unit. The end of slider 9 is provided with a fifth bolt hole 15, the inner core 8 is provided with a fourth bolt hole 11, and the end cap 7 is provided with a third bolt hole 12. The first connecting bolt 6 passes through the third bolt hole 12, the fourth bolt hole 11 and the fifth bolt hole 15 in sequence and is connected in an engaging manner to fix end cap 7, inner core 8 and slider 9.

[0032] The second connecting structure connects the slider 9 and the end cap 7 into one unit. The end of the slider 9 is also provided with a second bolt hole 13, and the end cap 7 is provided with a first bolt hole 10. The second connecting bolt 6 passes through the first bolt hole 10 and the second bolt hole 13 in sequence and is connected in an engaging manner, so that the end cap 7 and the slider 9 are fixedly connected. The overall stability is ensured by fixing with multiple sets of bolts.

[0033] The return component and slider 9 are tightly connected by two connecting structures, which improves their dustproof performance.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first, second, and third" used in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and do not indicate any order. They should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, and can be interpreted as names.
