Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of mechanical parts, and in particular to a locking rhomboid slider, including a slider body. The bottom of the slider body is provided with a sliding part, and the cross-sectional shape of the sliding part is rhomboid. The rhomboid structure of the slider body increases the bearing area and improves the bearing capacity of the slider, enabling it to adapt to greater working loads. The sliding part and the connecting part are connected by a neck. Grooves are provided on both sides of the neck. The grooves fit properly with the guide rail to ensure the sliding stability of the slider body and prevent shaking and falling. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sliding plates are embedded in the grooves, which can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction, reduce wear, extend the service life of the slider and the guide rail, and eliminate the need for frequent lubrication, thus reducing maintenance costs. Locking mechanisms are provided at both ends of the bottom of the sliding part. A spring is provided inside the first cavity. By adjusting the spring, different preload positions can be selected to easily lock the slider body on the guide rail.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical parts, specifically a diamond-shaped slider with locking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In existing mechanical transmission and positioning systems, sliders, as important moving parts, are widely used in various devices.

[0003] However, the existing technology has the following drawbacks:

[0004] Common sliders lack an effective locking mechanism after positioning, making them prone to displacement due to external vibration, impact, or misoperation, leading to decreased equipment operating accuracy or even malfunction. In addition, the structural design of traditional sliders has limitations in adapting to complex working conditions and diverse installation requirements, failing to meet the growing demand for high performance and multi-functionality in modern industry. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a locking diamond-shaped slider to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a locking rhomboid slider, comprising a slider body, the slider body including a sliding part and a connecting part, the top of the sliding part and the bottom of the connecting part being fixedly connected by a neck, and grooves being provided on both sides of the neck, and first cavities being provided at both ends of the bottom sides of the sliding part, a spring being fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the first cavity, and a movable sleeve being movably installed inside the first cavity, a second cavity being provided inside the movable sleeve, and a through hole being provided on the top of one side of the movable sleeve, and the spring being inserted and installed inside the through hole.

[0007] The above technical solution involves a sliding part that is fitted inside the guide rail, with the groove matching the opening of the guide rail to ensure sliding stability and prevent the slider body from shaking or falling off.

[0008] The sliding part has a rhomboid cross-sectional shape, and the connecting part has a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The slider body is made of high-performance engineering plastic, and rubber pads are adhered to the bottom of the sliding part and the top of the connecting part.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the rhomboid structure design can provide a larger load-bearing area and better guiding performance with the same space occupation compared with the traditional rectangular slider, effectively reducing the swaying and deviation of the slider during the movement.

[0010] A rectangular groove is provided in the middle of both ends of the bottom of the slider body. A mounting hole is provided in the middle of the top inner wall of the rectangular groove. The mounting hole is designed as a through hole. The height of the rectangular groove plus the height of the mounting hole is equal to the height of the slider body.

[0011] The above technical solution uses cylindrical through holes for mounting.

[0012] A fixing component is fixedly installed inside the mounting hole. The fixing component includes a base plate and a column. The base plate is a rectangular plate and is snapped into the inside of a rectangular groove. The column is inserted into the inside of the mounting hole and the two are fixedly connected. A threaded hole is opened in the middle of the top of the column.

[0013] The above technical solution uses a base plate with the same thickness as the rectangular groove, which is snapped into place inside the rectangular groove to ensure the flatness of the bottom of the slider body.

[0014] The top of the movable sleeve is flat, and its bottom has the same shape as the bottom of the sliding part. The length of the movable sleeve is less than the length of the top of the first cavity. The inner wall of the first cavity and the outer wall of the movable sleeve (10) are both provided with wear-resistant layers.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, the movable sleeve moves inside the first cavity, and the wear-resistant layer enhances the wear resistance of both, preventing them from being damaged by friction.

[0016] The top of the inner walls on both sides of the first cavity is provided with a sliding groove, and the top of the two sides of the movable sleeve is provided with a protrusion. The protrusion is slidably installed inside the sliding groove. A buffer pad is adhered to the inner wall of the narrower end of the second cavity. One end of the spring passes through the round hole and abuts tightly against the inner wall of the narrower end of the second cavity.

[0017] Using the above technical solution, the groove and convex strip serve to limit and ensure the stable installation of the protective sleeve, prevent shaking, and avoid unstable locking.

[0018] The groove is fitted with a sliding piece made of self-lubricating material, and the edges of the groove are all rounded and chamfered.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction coefficient is effectively reduced, wear is reduced, the service life of the slider and guide rail is extended, and there is no need to add lubricating oil frequently, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This invention allows for the selection of different preload levels by adjusting the spring. The rotation of the fastening bolt compresses the protective sleeve, locking the slider body at any position on the guide rail, facilitating the processing of parts. The diamond-shaped slider body increases the bearing area, enhancing its load-bearing capacity and enabling it to adapt to larger working loads. The self-lubricating slide plate in the groove reduces friction and wear, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance and lubrication, thus lowering equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and improving production efficiency.
