[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, the transmission device for a sliding door provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes an upper slide rail 1, a lower slide groove 4 and a door panel 12. The upper slide rail 1 has two track grooves 11 inside. The upper slide rail 1 has two track rails 2 inside the top wall of each track groove 11. Sliding seats 3 are slidably inserted into the outer walls on both sides of the track rails 2. Several bearing pulleys 31 are provided on both sides inside the sliding seats 3. The bearing pulleys 31 are close to both sides of the track rails 2. A fixing plate 32 is provided at the bottom inside the sliding seats 3. A rack groove 33 is provided at the bottom inside the sliding seats 3. The rack groove 33 is located directly below the fixing plate 32.

[0027] In this embodiment, two track grooves 11 are provided inside the upper slide rail 1. Slide rail strips 2 are provided on the inner top wall of the two track grooves 11, and sliding seats 3 are slidably inserted into the outer walls on both sides of the slide rail strips 2.

[0028] Specifically, several bearing pulleys 31 are provided on both sides inside the sliding seat 3. There are two bearing pulleys 31 on each side inside the sliding seat 3. The bearing pulleys 31 are close to both sides of the slide rail 2. A fixing plate 32 is provided at the bottom inside the sliding seat 3. The fixing plate 32 is fixed to the sliding seat 3 by screws. A rack groove 33 is provided at the bottom inside the sliding seat 3. The rack groove 33 is located directly below the fixing plate 32. The transmission rack 7 can be fixed inside the sliding seat 3 by the cooperation of the fixing plate 32 and the rack groove 33.

[0029] Specifically, a limiting groove is provided on the surface of the bearing pulley 31, and the limiting protrusion 21 is fitted into the limiting groove to improve the meshing degree between the sliding seat 3 and the slide rail 2, making the connection more secure. The fixing plate 32 fixes the transmission rack 7 in the rack groove 33, so that the transmission rack 7 can drive the sliding seat 3 to move together when it moves.

[0030] In this embodiment, both sides of the slide rail 2 are provided with limiting protrusions 21, which are engaged in the limiting grooves on the bearing pulley 31. The top outer wall and bottom outer wall of the slide rail 2 are provided with rack grooves 22, and a transmission rack 7 is provided in the rack grooves 22 to provide a movement path for the movement of the transmission rack 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, motors 6 are provided at both ends of the upper slide rail 1. One motor 6 controls the movement of one door panel 12. A transmission gear 61 is sleeved on the transmission rod of the motor 6. The teeth on the transmission gear 61 mesh with the transmission rack 7. A driven gear 62 is provided inside both ends of the upper slide rail 1. The driven gear 62 makes the movement of the transmission rack 7 smoother and reduces the wear of the slide rail 2 on the transmission rack 7. The transmission gear 61 and the driven gear 62 are connected by meshing with the transmission rack 7.

[0032] In this embodiment, a connecting piece 10 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the sliding seat 3. The door panel 12 and the sliding seat 3 are connected and fixed by the connecting piece 10. The connecting piece 10 is fixed to the door panel 12 and the sliding seat 3 by screws.

[0033] In this embodiment, a support pulley 8 is provided in the sliding groove 4. The support pulley 8 can slide in the sliding groove 4 and provide support for the door panel 12, reducing the impact of weight on the slide rail 2. The support pulley 8 is fixed to the bottom of the door panel 12 with screws.

[0034] In this embodiment, vertical rods 5 are provided at both ends of the upper slide rail 1 and the lower slide groove 4. A buffer assembly 9 is provided on the vertical rod 5. The buffer assembly 9 includes a mounting groove 91 opened on the vertical rod 5. A spring 93 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting groove 91. A buffer key 92 is slidably inserted into the mounting groove 91. The buffer key 92 is made of rubber and can provide a good buffering effect. The bottom of the buffer key 92 is connected to the spring 93. The buffering effect is enhanced by compressing the spring 93.

[0035] Specifically, limit sliders 95 are provided on both sides of the buffer key 92, and limit grooves 94 are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 91. The limit sliders 95 are slidably inserted into the limit grooves 94. The limit sliders 95 slide within the limit grooves 94 to prevent the buffer key 92 from disengaging from the mounting groove 91.

[0036] Working steps: 1. Pass the transmission rack 7 through the rack groove 22, and then make the transmission rack 7 mesh with the transmission gear 61 and the driven gear 62. Fix the transmission rack 7 in the rack groove 33 in the sliding seat 3 through the fixing plate 32. Then insert the sliding seat 3 into the slide rail 2 and fix the door panel 12 to the bottom of the sliding seat 3 through the connecting piece 10.

[0037] Second, the motor 6 is then powered on, which drives the transmission gear 61 to rotate. The transmission gear 61 drives the transmission rack 7 to move, and the transmission rack 7 drives the sliding seat 3 to move, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the door panel 12. When it is fully opened or closed, the impact between the door panel 12 and the vertical rod 5 can be reduced by the buffer component 9.

[0038] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
