Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of linear module technology and relates to a side-mounted linear module. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, linear modules, as key components for achieving high-precision, high-speed linear motion in mechanical systems, are widely used in CNC machine tools, robots, automated assembly equipment, and handling devices. Traditional linear modules typically adopt a bottom-mounted or embedded structure, with core components such as guide rails, sliders, stators, and movers integrated inside the profile or on the top mounting surface. The reciprocating motion of the moving seat along the guide rail direction is achieved by a motor drive.

[0003] However, in some complex equipment with compact installation environments, especially in applications requiring side-mounted installation, there are adaptation difficulties. Other installation methods, such as directly connecting the guide rail to the profile by welding, may result in installation misalignment, which can further lead to lower accuracy of the linear module, leaving considerable room for improvement.

[0036] like Figures 1-9 As shown, a side-mounted linear module includes: a profile 100, a stator 200, a slide rail 300, and a movable base 400.

[0037] The profile 100 has a mounting groove 110 and two mounting steps 120 on its side, with the mounting groove 110 located between the two mounting steps 120.

[0038] The stator 200 is located in the mounting groove 110 and contacts the lower side of the mounting groove 110.

[0039] There are two slide rails 300, which are located on the two mounting steps 120 and are in contact with the lower side of the mounting steps 120.

[0040] The movable seat 400 is provided with a mover 410 and two sliders 420. The two sliders 420 are slidably connected to the two slide rails 300 respectively. The mover 410 corresponds to the position of the stator 200.

[0041] In this embodiment, the stator 200 and the slide rail 300 are positioned by the lower side of the mounting step 120 and the lower side of the mounting groove 110 of the profile 100, respectively, which plays a positioning and support role. Therefore, the problem of installation misalignment can be overcome and the accuracy of the linear module can be guaranteed.

[0042] like Figures 1-9 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a limiting seat 500. There are two limiting seats 500, and both limiting seats 500 are connected to the profile 100. The movable seat 400 is located between the two limiting seats 500, and the movable seat 400 can contact the limiting seats 500 when it moves.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the movable seat 400 moves in either direction, it can contact one of the limiting seats 500 and be restricted from continuing to move by the limiting seat 500, providing mechanical limit protection to prevent the movable seat 400 from exceeding the predetermined stroke range.

[0044] like Figures 1-9As shown, based on the above embodiment, the profile 100 is further provided with a limiting groove 130. There are two limiting grooves 130, and the two limiting seats 500 are respectively located in the two limiting grooves 130.

The second screw 920 passes through the second connecting hole 710 and the third connecting hole 610 and is connected to the first threaded hole 510.

[0052] In this embodiment, the second screw 920 passes through the second connecting hole 710 and the third connecting hole 610 and connects to the first threaded hole 510, so as to realize the quick disassembly and assembly of the separator 600, facilitate on-site replacement and maintenance, and ensure the sealing between the separator 600 and the adjusting block 520.
