Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slide rail technology, and in particular to a slide rail that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] A slide rail is a mechanical device used to enable objects to move in a straight line or curve in a specific direction. It usually consists of a fixed part and a sliding part. It reduces friction by rolling or sliding, making the movement smoother. An easy-to-install slide rail is a linear motion mechanism with an optimized design. Its structure or installation method has been specially improved, which can significantly reduce installation time and reduce tool dependence.
[0003] To address this, patent CN212838965U discloses an easy-to-install linear slide rail, belonging to the field of slide rail technology. This easy-to-install linear slide rail includes a track, a slider, and a scraper. The slider is snapped onto the outer surface of the track, and the scraper is threadedly connected to the side of the slider. A metal scraper is threadedly connected to the side of the scraper, and an oil nozzle is threadedly connected to the side of the metal scraper. A fixing block is provided at one end of the track, and a frustum-shaped stop is threadedly connected to the side of the fixing block. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing block near its edge, and the connecting plate is threadedly connected to the side wall of the track by bolts. This easy-to-install linear slide rail, by setting the frustum-shaped stop, can effectively prevent the slider from being damaged by impact, protecting the linear reciprocating sliding of the slider. The stepped threaded holes on the track surface facilitate threaded installation by workers, making installation convenient.
[0004] The aforementioned easy-to-install linear guide rails are installed via stepped threaded holes on the rail surface. While this makes installation easier for workers to some extent, tools are still required for threaded connection, making the installation process relatively cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-install slide rail to solve the problem that existing easy-to-install linear slide rails are not easy to install quickly.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a slide rail that is easy to install, including a mounting plate;
[0007] Mounting holes are provided on both sides of the mounting plate, and fixing screws are installed inside the mounting holes. A mounting structure is installed on the top of the mounting plate. The mounting structure includes a first locking strip fixed to one side of the top of the mounting plate and a second locking strip fixed to the other side of the top of the mounting plate. A slide rail is installed on the top of the mounting plate. A slot is provided on the outer side of the first and second locking strips at the bottom of the slide rail. A sliding groove is provided on both sides of the slide rail. A recess is provided on one side of the sliding groove. A rotating rod is installed inside the recess, and a ball is fixed on the outer side of the rotating rod.
[0008] A buffer structure is installed on the outside of the slide rail.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting holes are symmetrically distributed on both sides inside the mounting plate.
[0010] The aforementioned structure allows for a uniform distribution of the fixing force exerted by the screws on the mounting plate during use. This prevents the mounting plate from tilting, twisting, or deforming due to uneven force, ensuring that the mounting plate is securely installed on the mounting surface and providing a stable foundation support for the entire slide rail system.
[0011] Preferably, the first and second locking strips are symmetrically distributed at the middle position of the top of the mounting plate, and one side of both the first and second locking strips is set with an inclined surface. The side view of the slot is set in a "T" shape, and the first and second locking strips and the slide rail form an engaging structure through the slot.
[0012] With the above structure, during use, the inclined structure of the first and second locking strips can guide the slot of the slide rail to quickly align with the locking strip. During installation, simply push the slide rail in along the inclined surface. No precise alignment or complex tools are required, making the operation easy. The side view of the locking groove is "T" shaped, which forms a mechanical locking structure after engaging with the locking strip. The slide rail automatically locks in place after being pushed in, avoiding the tedious steps of traditional screw installation. It is especially suitable for scenarios that require frequent disassembly and assembly.
[0013] Preferably, the grooves are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the slide rail, the two sides inside the grooves are inclined, the two ends of the rotating rod extend through the two ends of the groove and form a rotatable connection with the inside of the groove, and the balls are evenly distributed inside the groove.
[0014] With the above structure, the rotating rod and the ball form a rolling structure during use, which transforms the sliding friction between the slider and the slide rail into rolling friction. The balls are arranged at equal intervals in the groove, which can evenly bear the load of the slider and avoid wear caused by excessive local pressure.
[0015] Preferably, the buffer structure includes a rear baffle fixed to one side of the mounting plate, a front baffle fixed to the other side of the mounting plate, a slider mounted on the outer side of the slide rail, a first guide groove provided inside the slider, a first slide rod fixed to one side of the slider, a first air spring mounted on the outer side of the first slide rod, a through hole provided inside the front baffle, a fixing plate fixed to one end of the slide rail, a second slide rod slidably connected inside the fixing plate, a second air spring mounted on the outer side of the second slide rod on one side of the fixing plate, a buffer plate fixed to one end of the second slide rod, and a second guide groove provided inside the buffer plate.
[0016] Preferably, the interior of the first guide groove is fitted with the exterior of the slide rail, the slider and the slide rail are slidably connected through the first guide groove, the first slide rods are evenly distributed on one side of the slider, the through holes correspond one-to-one with the first slide rods, the first slide rods and the through holes are telescopically connected through the first air spring, and one end of the first air spring is fixedly connected to one side of the slider.
[0017] With the above structure, the first guide groove engages with the outer side of the slide rail during use, which can limit the displacement of the slider in the direction perpendicular to the slide rail, ensuring that the slider slides smoothly in a straight line. The slider engages with the slide rail through the first guide grooves on both sides, and together with the ball bearings in the grooves, a double guide structure is formed. The first slide rod and the through hole are connected by the first air spring. When the slider slides towards the front baffle, the first slide rod inserts into the through hole and compresses the air spring, reducing the impact speed to a safe range and avoiding damage to the components caused by hard collisions.
[0018] Preferably, the second slide rods are evenly distributed inside the fixed plate, the buffer plate and the fixed plate form a telescopic structure through the second air spring, the inside of the second guide groove is fitted with the outside of the slide rail, and the buffer plate and the slide rail form a sliding connection through the second guide groove.
[0019] With the above structure, the buffer plate is connected to the fixed plate through the second air spring during use. When the slider slides towards the rear baffle and hits the buffer plate, the second air spring is compressed and absorbs the impact energy of the slider through elastic deformation, thus avoiding hard collision between the slider and the end of the slide rail.
[0020] The present invention provides a slide rail that is easy to install, and its advantages are as follows:
[0021] With an installation structure, the first and second locking strips engage with the bottom groove of the slide rail in a "T" shape. During installation, simply push the groove along the inclined surface of the locking strip to complete the fixation. No complicated tools or precise alignment are required, which greatly shortens the installation time and reduces the difficulty of operation. It is especially suitable for non-professionals to install quickly. In addition, the rotating rod and the ball in the slide rail form a rolling friction structure, which makes the slider slide more smoothly. The evenly distributed balls can evenly bear the load, reduce local wear, and extend the service life of the slide rail.
[0022] By incorporating a buffer structure, when the slider moves the first slide bar, the first air spring compresses and absorbs the impact energy, reducing the slider's impact speed and preventing damage to components caused by hard collisions at the front end. After the slider contacts the buffer plate, the second air spring further buffers the impact, absorbing the remaining impact force through elastic deformation. This effectively protects the slide rail, slider, and connecting equipment. The elasticity of the air spring can automatically adjust the buffering strength according to the impact force, providing gentle buffering under light loads and enhancing the damping effect under heavy loads, making it suitable for different load scenarios.

[0029] 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.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a slide rail that is easy to install, including a mounting plate 1.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, mounting holes 2 are provided on both sides of the interior of the mounting plate 1, and the mounting holes 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the interior of the mounting plate 1. Fixing screws 3 are installed inside the mounting holes 2. A mounting structure 4 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 1. The mounting structure 4 includes a first retaining strip 401 fixed to one side of the top of the mounting plate 1, and a second retaining strip 402 fixed to the other side of the top of the mounting plate 1. A slide rail 403 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 1. A groove 404 is provided on the outer side of the first retaining strip 401 and the second retaining strip 402 at the bottom of the slide rail 403. A sliding groove 405 is provided on both sides of the slide rail 403. A recess 406 is provided on one side of the interior of the sliding groove 405. A rotating rod 407 is installed inside the recess 406. The outer side is fixed with ball bearings 408. The first locking strip 401 and the second locking strip 402 are symmetrically distributed at the middle position of the top of the mounting plate 1. One side of the first locking strip 401 and the second locking strip 402 are both set with an inclined surface. The side view of the slot 404 is set with a "T" shape. The first locking strip 401 and the second locking strip 402 and the slide rail 403 form a locking structure through the slot 404. The slide groove 405 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the slide rail 403. The two sides inside the slide groove 405 are set with an inclined surface. The two ends of the rotating rod 407 respectively penetrate through the two ends inside the groove 406 and extend into the inside of the groove 406 and form a rotatable connection with the inside of the groove 406. The ball bearings 408 are evenly distributed inside the groove 406.
[0032] Pass the fixing screw 3 through the mounting hole 2 to firmly fix the mounting plate 1 on the mounting surface, completing the installation of the slide rail base support structure. Then, align the slot 404 at the bottom of the slide rail 403 with the inclined surface of the first locking strip 401 and the second locking strip 402, and slowly push the slide rail 403 along the inclined surface so that the slot 404 gradually engages with the outside of the first locking strip 401 and the second locking strip 402 until the slot 404 is fully engaged with the first locking strip 401 and the second locking strip 402, thereby completing the quick connection between the slide rail 403 and the mounting plate 1. In addition, in the sliding grooves 405 on both sides of the slide rail 403, the ball bearings 408 on the outside of the rotating rod 407 roll in the sliding grooves 405. The rolling friction of the ball bearings 408 replaces the sliding friction between the slider 503 and the slide rail 403, effectively reducing the friction force, so that the slider 503 slides more smoothly and effortlessly.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a buffer structure 5 is installed on the outer side of the slide rail 403. The buffer structure 5 includes a rear baffle 501 fixed to one side of the mounting plate 1, a front baffle 502 fixed to the other side of the mounting plate 1, a slider 503 installed on the outer side of the slide rail 403, a first guide groove 504 provided inside the slider 503, a first slide rod 505 fixed to one side of the slider 503, a first air spring 506 installed on the outer side of the first slide rod 505, a through hole 507 provided inside the front baffle 502, a fixing plate 508 fixed to one end of the slide rail 403, a second slide rod 509 slidably connected inside the fixing plate 508, a second air spring 510 installed on the outer side of the second slide rod 509 on one side of the fixing plate 508, a buffer plate 511 fixed to one end of the second slide rod 509, and a second air spring 510 provided inside the buffer plate 511. The guide groove 512 and the inner part of the first guide groove 504 are fitted with the outer side of the slide rail 403. The slider 503 and the slide rail 403 are slidably connected through the first guide groove 504. The first slide rods 505 are evenly distributed on one side of the slider 503. The through holes 507 correspond one-to-one with the first slide rods 505. The first slide rods 505 and the through holes 507 are telescopically connected through the first air spring 506. One end of the first air spring 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 503. The second slide rods 509 are evenly distributed inside the fixed plate 508. The buffer plate 511 and the fixed plate 508 are telescopically connected through the second air spring 510. The inner part of the second guide groove 512 is fitted with the outer side of the slide rail 403. The buffer plate 511 and the slide rail 403 are slidably connected through the second guide groove 512.
[0034] The first guide groove 504 inside the slider 503 is fitted with the outer side of the slide rail 403, so that the slider 503 is sleeved on the outer side of the slide rail 403 through the first guide groove 504, forming a sliding connection structure. Then, when the slider 503 slides along the slide rail 403, the slider 503 will drive the first slide rod 505 to move towards the front baffle 502, so that the first slide rod 505 slides in the through hole 507, the first air spring 506 is compressed, and the elastic deformation of the first air spring 506 absorbs part of the impact energy, slowing down the sliding speed of the slider 503 and playing a preliminary buffering role. When the slider 503 moves towards the rear baffle 501 and contacts the buffer plate 511, it will push the buffer plate 511 to move along the slide rail 403 towards the fixed plate 508. At this time, the second slide bar 509 slides within the fixed plate 508, and the second air spring 510 is compressed. The elastic deformation of the second air spring 510 further absorbs the remaining impact energy, preventing the slider 503 from having a hard collision with the end of the slide rail 403, enhancing the overall buffering effect, and protecting the slide rail and connecting parts.
[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
