Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guide rail slider technology, and in particular to a guide rail slider mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A guide rail and slider is a mechanical component used to achieve smooth movement of an object along a fixed path. It typically consists of two parts: a guide rail and a slider. The slider is mounted on the guide rail and can slide precisely linearly along it. This device is widely used in automation equipment, machine tools, robots, and electronic manufacturing equipment, providing high-precision, low-friction linear motion support to ensure the accuracy and reliability of equipment operation.
[0003] In order to ensure the efficient operation of the device, traditional guide rail sliders require the regular injection of lubricating oil into the oil injection hole of the slider to lubricate the internal balls. However, as the device is used continuously, the lubricating oil will gradually flow downward with gravity and deposit on the table, which requires workers to clean the device regularly. In addition, the device requires a high degree of concentration when disassembling and assembling, which affects the maintenance efficiency of the device.
[0004] Therefore, a guide rail slider mechanism needs to be designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional guide rail sliders, which are prone to oil stains, easily pollute the working environment, increase cleaning difficulty, and are inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, the technical problem to be solved is to provide a guide rail slider mechanism.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0007] A guide rail slider mechanism, comprising:
[0008] Linear guide rail;
[0009] The slider is slidably connected to the linear guide rail, and the linear guide rail has an oil storage groove for collecting lubricating oil along its length direction, and the oil storage groove is located below the slider.
[0010] Ball bearings, wherein multiple sets of ball bearings are disposed between the slider and the linear guide rail; and
[0011] The linear guide rail is movably fitted with a clamping rail at one end, and the slider is movably connected to the clamping rail.
[0012] Furthermore, the length of the clamping rail is not less than the length of the slider, and the slider can separate from the linear guide rail along with the clamping rail after moving onto the clamping rail.
[0013] Furthermore, the slider has a limiting groove on the side facing the linear guide rail for limiting the ball, and the ball can roll within the limiting groove.
[0014] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided at the connection between the linear guide rail and the slider, and the linear guide rail divides the ball into upper and lower parts through the protrusion.
[0015] Furthermore, the number of slider limiting grooves corresponds to the number of ball bearing sets.
[0016] Furthermore, the clamping rail is provided with a curved groove along its length, and the ball rolls within the curved groove when the clamping rail enters the slider.
[0017] Furthermore, the clamping rail is provided with multiple through holes.
[0018] Furthermore, it also includes: a limiter, wherein a fixed groove is provided on the linear guide rail, and the limiter is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping rail, and the limiter is inserted into the fixed groove.
[0019] Furthermore, both the limiter and the fixing groove are L-shaped to improve the stability of the connection.
[0020] Furthermore, the slider is provided with an oil injection hole, which is connected to the limiting groove of the slider.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Through the design of the clamping rail, this utility model realizes the quick assembly and disassembly between the linear guide rail and the slider, reducing the difficulty of operation. At the same time, the oil reservoir collects excess lubricating oil, which not only ensures the smooth operation of the ball bearings, but also facilitates subsequent cleaning.
[0022] 2. This utility model effectively reduces the friction between the slider and the clamping rail by rolling the balls on the clamping rail, which reduces the difficulty of disassembly and assembly and effectively improves the disassembly efficiency of the device.
[0023] 3. The protruding design of the linear guide rail in this utility model enables each group of balls to run stably, avoids mutual interference between the groups of balls, and ensures the stable operation of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Example: A guide rail slider mechanism, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a linear guide rail 1, a slider 2, ball bearings 3, and a clamping rail 5. The linear guide rail 1 is slidably connected to the slider 2, which has an oil injection hole. Multiple sets of ball bearings 3 are arranged between the slider 2 and the linear guide rail 1. The linear guide rail 1 has an oil reservoir 4 for collecting lubricating oil along its length. The oil reservoir 4 is located below the slider 2. A clamping rail 5 is movably mounted at one end of the linear guide rail 1, and the slider 2 is movably connected to the clamping rail 5. The clamping rail 5 has multiple through holes. Here, the length of the clamping rail 5 is not less than the length of the slider 2. After the slider 2 moves onto the clamping rail 5, it can separate from the linear guide rail 1 along with the clamping rail 5. The design of the through holes in the clamping rail 5 reduces the contact area between the clamping rail 5 and the slider 2, thereby reducing the possibility of frictional heat generation between the clamping rail 5 and the slider 2, reducing the possibility of heat wear on the slider 2, and extending the usable area of the device.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the slider 2 has a limiting groove for limiting the ball 3 on the side facing the linear guide 1. The ball 3 can roll in the limiting groove. The slider 2 is provided with an oil injection hole, which is connected to the limiting groove of the slider 2. The design of the limiting groove can limit the ball 3 to a certain extent during the operation of the device, prevent the ball 3 from rolling randomly, facilitate centralized management of the ball 3, and improve the operating efficiency of the device.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a protrusion is provided at the connection between the linear guide 1 and the slider 2. The linear guide 1 divides the balls 3 into upper and lower parts through the protrusion. The number of limiting grooves of the slider 2 corresponds to the number of groups of balls 3. Here, the protrusion design of the linear guide 1 enables each group of balls 3 to run stably, avoids mutual interference between the groups of balls 3, and ensures the stable operation of the device.
[0033] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the clamping rail 5 has a curved groove along its length. When the clamping rail 5 enters the slider 2, the ball 3 rolls in its curved groove. Here, the curved groove design of the clamping rail 5 can limit the ball 3 when the slider 2 moves the ball 3 onto the clamping rail 5, preventing the ball 3 from falling off. At the same time, the rolling of the ball 3 on the clamping rail 5 effectively reduces the friction between the slider 2 and the clamping rail 5, improving the disassembly efficiency of the device.
[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a fixed groove 7 is provided on the linear guide rail 1, and a limiter 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping rail 5. The limiter 6 and the fixed groove 7 are inserted and matched. Both the limiter 6 and the fixed groove 7 are L-shaped structures to improve the stability of the connection. Here, the design of the limiter 6 and the fixed groove 7 makes it easier to quickly assemble or disassemble the linear guide rail 1 and the clamping rail 5, reducing the difficulty of operation and effectively improving work efficiency.
[0035] This device functions as a guide rail slider 2. When maintenance or repair is required, the limiter 6 connected to one end of the clamping rail 5 is inserted into the fixed groove 7 of the linear guide rail 1. This allows the clamping rail 5 to connect to the linear guide rail 1 through the insertion and engagement between the limiter 6 and the fixed groove 7. Then, the slider 2 is pushed towards the clamping rail 5. The slider 2 uses its limiting groove to apply a pushing force to the ball 3, causing the slider 2 to move the ball 3 towards the clamping rail 5 until both the slider 2 and the ball 3 are on the clamping rail 5. Afterward, the limiter 6 is disconnected from the fixed groove 7. The clamping rail 5 is then removed, and the slider 2 is flipped so that its opening faces upward and it is removed from the clamping rail 5, exposing the ball bearings 3 inside the slider 2. The ball bearings 3 are then removed or replaced as needed, thus completing the disassembly of the device so that the staff can maintain or repair it. After completion, the above operations are reversed to reassemble the device. Then, sufficient lubricating oil is added to the oil injection hole of the slider 2. The lubricating oil lubricates the ball bearings 3. Subsequently, the excess lubricating oil flows into the oil storage tank 4 under the guidance of gravity and the slider 2 for subsequent cleaning. The work is now complete.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
