Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy slider technology, specifically an aluminum alloy slider. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum alloy sliders are sliding components made of aluminum alloy, commonly used in machinery, automation, and precision equipment. They are used in conjunction with slide rails (or guide rails). Made of aluminum alloy, they offer good strength and lightweight properties. The main functions of aluminum alloy sliders are to provide load-bearing capacity, sliding, friction reduction, corrosion resistance, and to extend the service life of equipment. They are widely used in automation equipment and precision instruments. After a period of use, wear will occur between the aluminum alloy slider and the slide rail, requiring disassembly, inspection, or maintenance.
[0003] In existing technologies, when it is necessary to disassemble, inspect, or maintain the aluminum alloy slider, it is usually necessary to first remove the limiting plates at both ends of the slide rail before the aluminum alloy slider, which is sleeved on the outside of the slide rail, can be pulled out from inside the slide rail. This operation involves multiple steps, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also increases the difficulty and workload of the disassembly process.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an aluminum alloy slider to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum alloy slider to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An aluminum alloy slider is used in a slide rail. Limit block grooves are formed on both sides of the slide rail. The aluminum alloy slider includes an aluminum alloy slider body, limit blocks, and a locking mechanism. The sliding aluminum alloy slider body is sleeved on the outer side of the slide rail. Limit block mounting grooves are formed on both sides of the aluminum alloy slider body. Limit blocks are slidably connected to the inner sides of both sets of limit block mounting grooves. Locking mechanisms are provided on the inner sides of both sets of limit blocks. Both sets of limit blocks are used to limit the sliding of the aluminum alloy slider body on the slide rail. The locking mechanism is used to lock or release the limit blocks.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the locking mechanism includes a first adjusting bolt, a first bevel gear, a lead screw, and a locking block. The first adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to both sides of the aluminum alloy slider body. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the aluminum alloy slider body near the two sets of first adjusting bolts. The first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the two sets of first adjusting bolts and lead screws at positions close to each other. The two sets of first bevel gears are meshed with each other. One end of each set of lead screws is threadedly connected to a locking block, and the locking block is slidably connected to the aluminum alloy slider body.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a locking groove is provided on one side of each of the two sets of limiting blocks, and the two sets of locking blocks are slidably connected to the locking grooves respectively.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: multiple sets of pulley brackets are fixedly connected to one side of each of the two sets of limiting blocks, pulleys are rotatably connected to the inner side of the multiple sets of pulley brackets, and the multiple sets of pulleys are slidably connected to the sliding groove of the limiting block.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: a ball bearing limiting mechanism is provided on the inner side of both sets of limiting blocks, and multiple sets of ball bearing grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of both sets of limiting blocks corresponding to the ball bearing limiting mechanism. The ball bearing limiting mechanism is used to drive the ball bearing to move in the ball bearing groove.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the ball bearing limiting mechanism includes a second adjusting bolt, a driving bevel gear, a driven bevel gear, a driven bevel gear, and an adjusting unit. The second adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to one side of each of the two sets of limiting blocks. A driven screw is rotatably connected to the upper and lower ends of each set of limiting blocks near the second adjusting bolt. A driving bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of the second adjusting bolt. A driven bevel gear is provided at the end of each of the two sets of driven screws near the driving bevel gear. The driving bevel gear meshes with each of the two sets of driven bevel gears. The second adjusting bolt is used to drive the two sets of adjusting units on the upper and lower sides to move.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the adjustment unit includes an adjustment block and balls, the four sets of adjustment units include adjustment blocks that slide within the limiting block, the four sets of driven screws are threaded through and connected to the adjustment blocks, and one side of each of the four sets of adjustment blocks is embedded and movably connected to multiple sets of balls.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a material picking block 11 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two sets of limiting blocks 2.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. Traditional aluminum alloy sliders typically require the removal of the limiting plates at both ends of the slide rail for disassembly, inspection, or maintenance, a cumbersome and time-consuming process. This invention, however, simplifies the disassembly process by using an adjustable locking mechanism and limiting blocks. Users can easily remove the limiting blocks simply by releasing the locking mechanism, achieving rapid disassembly and saving time and labor.
[0017] 2. The limiting block in this utility model uses a ball bearing limiting mechanism and a pulley. By setting a pulley on the side of the limiting block and sliding it to the side of the slide rail, the sliding friction is reduced by the rolling of the ball bearing in the ball bearing groove, avoiding traditional surface contact friction, significantly reducing friction, making the aluminum alloy slider slide more smoothly and efficiently on the slide rail, and extending the service life of the slider and the slide rail. In addition, the ball bearing limiting mechanism can retract the ball bearing when the limiting block is disassembled and return the ball bearing to its position after the limiting block is installed.

[0023] 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.
[0024] like Figure 1 , 2As described in section 3, this utility model embodiment provides a connector processing device applied to a slide rail 3. Limiting block grooves 4 are provided on both sides of the slide rail 3. The aluminum alloy slider includes an aluminum alloy slider body 1, limiting blocks 2, and a locking mechanism 5. The sliding aluminum alloy slider body 1 is sleeved on the outer side of the slide rail 3. Limiting block mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the aluminum alloy slider body 1. Limiting blocks 2 are slidably connected to the inner sides of both sets of limiting block mounting grooves. Locking mechanisms 5 are provided on the inner sides of both sets of limiting blocks 2. Both sets of limiting blocks 2 are used to limit the sliding of the aluminum alloy slider body 1 on the slide rail 3. The locking mechanism 5 is used to lock or release the limiting blocks 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, when the aluminum alloy slider body 1 slides for a long distance on the slide rail 3 and needs to be disassembled, inspected, or maintained, the two sets of locking mechanisms 5 are rotated, and the two sets of locking mechanisms 5 release the two sets of limiting blocks 2 respectively. This allows the two sets of limiting blocks 2 to be removed from both sides of the aluminum alloy slider body 1, so that the aluminum alloy slider body 1 can be quickly removed from the slide rail 3 without first removing the limiting plates at both ends of the slide rail. The limiting blocks 2 are used to limit the sliding of the aluminum alloy slider body 1 on the slide rail 3. Without removing the limiting plates at both ends of the slide rail, the entire operation process is simpler and faster, saving time and reducing unnecessary disassembly and assembly steps, thereby improving the efficiency of maintenance and repair.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the locking mechanism 5 includes a first adjusting bolt 51, a first bevel gear 52, a lead screw 53, and a locking block 54. The first adjusting bolt 51 is rotatably connected through both sides of the aluminum alloy slider body 1. The lead screw 53 is rotatably connected to the aluminum alloy slider body 1 near the two sets of first adjusting bolts 51 respectively. The first bevel gear 52 is fixedly connected to the two sets of first adjusting bolts 51 and lead screw 53 at positions close to each other. The two sets of first bevel gears 52 are meshed with each other. One end of each set of lead screw 53 is threadedly connected to a locking block 54.
[0027] In this embodiment, by rotating the first adjusting bolt 51, the first adjusting bolt 51 drives the first bevel gear 52 to rotate, the first bevel gear 52 drives the lead screw 53 to rotate, and the lead screw 53 drives the locking block 54 to move, thereby adjusting the locking block 54 to slide within the aluminum alloy slider body 1 to limit and lock or release the limiting block 2. The locking mechanism 5 utilizes the synergistic effect of the transmission components such as the first adjusting bolt 51, the first bevel gear 52, and the lead screw 53, so that the locking block 54 can move within the aluminum alloy slider body 1, thereby achieving precise locking or unlocking of the limiting block 2.
[0028] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, optionally, a locking groove 6 is provided on one side of each of the two sets of limiting blocks 2, and the two sets of locking blocks 54 are slidably connected to the locking groove 6 respectively.
[0029] In this embodiment, the locking block 54 is slidably connected to the locking groove 6 on one side of the limiting block 2 to lock the limiting block 2. When it is necessary to release the limiting block 2, the first adjusting bolt 51 is rotated so that the locking block 54 slides out from the locking groove 6 of the limiting block 2, thereby releasing the limiting block 2.
[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 Optionally, multiple sets of pulley brackets 9 are fixedly connected to one side of each of the two sets of limiting blocks 2, and pulleys 7 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the multiple sets of pulley brackets 9. The multiple sets of pulleys 7 are slidably connected to the limiting block groove 4.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the aluminum alloy slider body 1 slides on the slide rail 3, the aluminum alloy slider body 1 drives the limiting block 2 to move, and the limiting block 2 drives the pulley 7 to slide in the limiting block groove 4 on the slide rail 3, thereby reducing the friction between the aluminum alloy slider body 1 and the slide rail 3 during movement.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, a ball limiting mechanism 8 is provided on the inner side of both sets of limiting blocks 2, and multiple sets of ball grooves 10 are opened on the upper and lower sides of both sets of limiting blocks 2 corresponding to the ball limiting mechanism 8. The ball limiting mechanism 8 is used to drive the ball 85 to move in the ball groove 10.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the limiting block 2 is installed in the aluminum alloy slider body 1, the rotating ball limiting mechanism 8 causes the ball limiting mechanism 8 on the upper and lower sides of a set of limiting blocks 2 to drive the ball 85 to contact the limiting block groove 4 in the slide rail 3. During the movement of the aluminum alloy slider body 1, the rolling of the ball 85 replaces the traditional sliding friction. Since the contact between the ball 85 and the slide rail 3 is a point contact, the resistance of rolling friction is significantly reduced compared to the sliding friction of surface contact, which makes the movement of the aluminum alloy slider body 1 smoother and more efficient.
[0034] like Figure 2 , 4As shown, optionally, the ball bearing limiting mechanism 8 includes a second adjusting bolt 81, a driving bevel gear 82, a driven bevel gear 86, and an adjusting unit. The second adjusting bolt 81 is rotatably connected to one side of each of the two sets of limiting blocks 2. A driven lead screw 83 is rotatably connected to the upper and lower ends of each set of limiting blocks 2 near the second adjusting bolt 81. The driving bevel gear 82 is fixedly connected to one end of the second adjusting bolt 81. A driven bevel gear 86 is provided at the end of each of the two sets of driven lead screws 83 near the driving bevel gear 82. The driving bevel gear 82 meshes with each of the two sets of driven bevel gears 86. The second adjusting bolt 81 is used to drive the two sets of adjusting units on the upper and lower sides to move.
[0035] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the ball limit mechanism 8, the second adjusting bolt 81 needs to be rotated first. The second adjusting bolt 81 drives the active bevel gear 82 to rotate, and the active bevel gear 82 drives the driven bevel gears 86 meshing on the upper and lower sides to rotate. The two sets of driven bevel gears 86 respectively drive the driven screw 83 to rotate, and the two sets of driven screws 83 respectively drive the upper and lower adjustment units to move.
[0036] It should be further explained that when the driving bevel gear 82 rotates in the forward direction, it drives the upper driven bevel gear 86 to rotate in the reverse direction, and drives the lower driven bevel gear 86 to rotate in the forward direction. Since the driven screw 83 has the same thread direction, the upper driven screw 83 drives the adjusting block 84 to move upward while the lower driven screw 83 drives the adjusting block 84 to move downward.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the adjustment unit includes an adjustment block 84 and balls 85. The four sets of adjustment units, including the adjustment blocks 84, slide in the limiting block 2 respectively. The four sets of driven screws 83 are threaded through and connected to the adjustment blocks 84 respectively. One side of each of the four sets of adjustment blocks 84 is embedded and movably connected to multiple sets of balls 85.
[0038] In this embodiment, the adjusting block 84 in the adjusting unit moves under the drive of the driven lead screw 83, thereby driving multiple sets of balls 85 to move. When the limiting block 2 is disassembled, the adjusting block 84 drives the adjusting unit to retract the balls 85. When the limiting block 2 is installed, the adjusting block 84 drives the adjusting unit to push the balls 85 out through the ball groove 10 to contact the limiting block groove 4 in the slide rail 3, rolling and rubbing to reduce resistance, while avoiding affecting the installation and disassembly of the adjusting block 84.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, a material picking block 11 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two sets of limiting blocks 2.
[0040] In this embodiment, when the staff needs to install or remove the limiting block 2, the material picking block 11 facilitates the staff to pick up the limiting block 2.
[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
