Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of linear guide technology, and in particular to a novel linear guide device. Background Technology

[0002] Linear guides, also known as linear rails, slide rails, or linear guideways, are used in linear reciprocating motion applications. They can withstand a certain amount of torque and achieve high-precision linear motion under high loads. The function of linear guides is to support and guide moving parts, enabling them to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction.

[0003] Currently available linear guides are inconvenient to self-lubricate during operation. Prolonged operation necessitates the application of lubricating oil to the outer wall of the device, wasting considerable time and effort. This also hinders device protection, reduces lifespan, and can easily lead to property damage. Furthermore, the gap between the slider and the guide rail allows small particles to easily enter the grooves on both sides of the guide rail when the slider is not covering it. When the slider covers the guide rail again during operation, these particles can enter the ball grooves, potentially causing jamming of the rolling elements between the slider and the guide rail. To address these issues, we propose a novel linear guide device based on existing linear guide technology to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of inconvenient self-lubrication of existing linear guides on the market. Prolonged operation requires lubrication of the outer wall of the device, wasting considerable time and effort, hindering protection, reducing lifespan, and potentially causing property damage. Furthermore, the gap between the slider and the guide rail in the linear guide allows small particles to easily enter the grooves on both sides of the guide rail when the slider is covering it. When the slider covers the guide rail again, these particles can enter the ball grooves, easily causing jamming of the rolling elements between the slider and the guide rail. Therefore, a novel linear guide device is needed to solve these technical problems.

[0005] A novel linear guide device is characterized by comprising a linear guide, a slider, and a wear-resistant plate. The slider is slidably assembled on the linear guide. A set of sliding grooves is provided on both axial sides of the linear guide. Each sliding groove consists of a row of square grooves, a row of upper arc grooves, and a row of lower arc grooves. The upper arc grooves are located above the square grooves, and the lower arc grooves are located below the square grooves. The upper arc grooves, lower arc grooves, and square grooves form a Y-shaped structure. The bottom of the slider has an opening, and a wear-resistant plate is provided on both sides of the opening. A set of sliding surfaces, the sliding surface being composed of a row of square protrusions, a row of upper arc protrusions, and a row of lower arc protrusions. The upper arc protrusions are located above the square protrusions, and the lower arc protrusions are located below the square protrusions. The upper arc groove matches the upper arc protrusion, the lower arc protrusion matches the lower arc groove, and the square groove matches the directional protrusion. The upper arc protrusion, lower arc protrusion, and square protrusion form a Y-shaped structure. A wear-resistant plate is provided on the outer side of the sliding surface, the shape of which is the same as and matches the sliding surface.

[0006] Furthermore, the wear-resistant sheet is made of nano-ceramic material or polyethylene wear-resistant plastic, and the wear-resistant sheet is assembled on the slider by snap-fit.

[0007] Furthermore, the groove extends through the entire axial direction of the linear guide.

[0008] Furthermore, the sliding surface extends throughout the axial direction of the entire slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the linear guide and slider are both integral structures.

[0010] Furthermore, the linear guide rail is quenched using a weakly acidic inorganic salt and oil cleaning agent, and the hardness of the linear guide rail is HRC: 58-62.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model include: the linear guide device provided by this utility model does not have a ball bearing design, is simple to assemble, and will not cause jamming if foreign objects enter the linear guide device, thus not affecting the operation of the linear guide. It is maintenance-free, and the slider moves back and forth in the groove set in the linear guide through the slider surface to complete the reciprocating motion. Wear-resistant plates are assembled on the outside of the slid-out slider surface. The wear-resistant plates are assembled on the slider by snap-fit. After long-term use and wear, the wear-resistant plates can be replaced, which is simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description
