[0001] This utility model relates to the field of linear module technology, and in particular to a dust removal structure for linear modules. Background Technology

[0002] Servo electric cylinders are modular products that integrate servo motors and ball screws. By converting the rotary motion of the servo motor into linear motion, they achieve precise control of rotational speed, torque, and rotational speed, and are widely used in high-precision fields.

[0003] In contrast, belt-driven linear modules experience greater vibration during operation. To improve stability, some designs incorporate guide grooves in the housing to stabilize the tray's movement trajectory; however, this structure easily accumulates dust and dirt. If not cleaned promptly, it can cause jamming or wear of moving parts, ultimately affecting module performance and lifespan. Summary of the Invention

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] Referring to Figures 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present invention is provided, which provides a dust removal structure for a linear module, a belt conveyor assembly 100, and a protective housing 200 connected to the belt conveyor assembly 100. The protective housing 200 has guide grooves 201 on both side walls, a slide block 300 at the upper end of the protective housing 200, and connecting portions 301 that slide within the guide grooves 201 on both sides of the slide block 300. An insulating metal layer 201-1 is provided on the surface of the guide groove 201, and an electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1 is provided on the portion of the connecting portion 301 that slides within the guide groove 201. As the connecting portion 301 moves within the guide groove 201, the electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1 generates static electricity through friction and adsorbs dust within the guide groove 201. Through the sliding connection between the connecting part 301 and the guide groove 201, when the belt conveyor assembly 100 drives the slide 300 on the protective housing 200 to move, due to the friction between the electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1 and the insulating metal layer 201-1 on the connecting part 301, the connecting part 301 is charged by friction to adsorb the dust in the guide groove 201, so that the operator can wipe the dust on the connecting part 301 to avoid the accumulation of dust in the guide groove 201.

[0027] The guide groove 201 includes a first groove 201-2 and a second groove 201-3 located at both ends of the inner cavity of the first groove 201-2. The connecting part 301 is inserted into the first groove 201-2 and the second groove 201-3. By opening the second groove 201-3 and inserting the connecting part 301 into the second groove 201-3, the connecting part 301, which slides in the guide groove 201, will not be restricted by the second groove 201-3 and will not separate from the guide groove 201, thus ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the connecting part 301 connected to it.

[0028] The connecting part 301 includes a first part 301-2 connected to the slide 300, a second part 301-3 inserted into the first groove 201-2, and a third part 301-4 inserted into the second groove 201-3. An electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1 is disposed in the third part 301-4. Since the second groove 201-3 is recessed within the first groove 201-2, and most dust accumulates in the second groove 201-3, the electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1 is disposed in the third part 301-4, allowing the third part 301-4 to adsorb dust within the second groove 201-3.

[0029] An insulating metal layer 201-1 is disposed inside the second tank 201-3. The insulating metal layer 201-1 can cover the metal surface to prevent charge transfer or magnetization during friction, making the metal unable to attract dust. When used in conjunction with the electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1, it can effectively prevent dust from accumulating inside the second tank 201-3, instead moving it to the third part 301-4. This makes it easier for operators to clean the dust inside the second tank 201-3 and also avoids the difficulty in cleaning caused by dust accumulating in the dead corners inside the second tank 201-3.

[0030] The second tank 201-3 is made of aluminum, and the insulating metal layer 201-1 is a PTFE coating. The surface of the third part 301-4 is made of copper, and the electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1 is a polyimide film. Dust particles in the air may carry a weak charge due to friction, collision, or radiation, but this charge is usually small and randomly polarized. When they approach a charged surface, the dust particles become polarized and are thus adsorbed. Because the third part 301-4 is made of copper, after friction with the polyimide electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1, the polyimide easily becomes negatively charged, while the copper becomes positively charged. At this time, the negatively charged electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1 can directly adsorb positively charged dust and neutral dust, while negatively charged dust can be adsorbed through the third part 301-4, which is not coated with the electrostatic adsorption layer 301-1. Furthermore, because the second tank 201-3 is made of aluminum, and PTFE has good insulation properties (resistivity > 10¹), the dust particles are easily adsorbed. 8 (Ω·m) prevents the aluminum sheet from exchanging charges with the outside world, so that it cannot accumulate static charge, that is, the surface of the second tank 201-3 always remains electrically neutral and has no adsorption capacity.

[0031] The second tank 201-3 is V-shaped, and the third part 301-4 is adapted to the second tank 201-3.

[0032] Both ends of the protective housing 200 are connected to the caps 400. The two ends of the second groove 201-3 extend from the left and right ends of the protective housing 200 and are connected to the caps 400.

[0033] The cover 400 is provided with a storage port 401 on the protective housing 200, which is connected to the first tank 201-2 and the second tank 201-3. Even if the third part 301-4 does not have a dust adsorption function, because the third part 301-4 is adapted to the second tank 201-3, when the third part 301-4 moves to the tail of the second tank 201-3, it can still push the dust in the second tank 201-3 into the storage port 401 so that the operator can clean the dust.

[0034] It is important to note that the constructions and arrangements of this application shown in several different exemplary embodiments are merely illustrative. Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in this disclosure, those who consult this disclosure will readily understand that many modifications are possible (e.g., changes in the size, dimensions, structure, shape and proportion of various elements, as well as parameter values ​​(e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), mounting arrangements, use of materials, color, orientation, etc.) without substantially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the subject matter described in this application). For example, an element shown as integrally formed may be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of elements may be inverted or otherwise altered, and the nature or number or position of discrete elements may be changed or altered.
