Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transverse slides, and in particular to a transverse slide. Background Technology
[0002] As a core moving component in mechanical transmission systems, transverse slides are widely used in CNC machine tools, automated production lines, material handling equipment, and precision testing instruments. Their main function is to support workpieces or actuators and achieve stable reciprocating sliding along the horizontal direction, directly affecting the operating accuracy and work efficiency of the entire equipment. In practical applications, transverse slides usually need to maintain a high-frequency, high-load operating state for a long time. For example, in automotive parts processing production lines, slides need to drive fixtures to complete thousands of positioning and sliding actions every day, which places stringent requirements on the stability of their sliding performance.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream transverse slides on the market lack effective lubrication structures or have obvious limitations in lubrication methods. Specifically, some slides do not have dedicated lubrication channels and rely solely on the initial grease applied during assembly. As the usage time increases, the grease will gradually be consumed or become ineffective due to wear, high temperature, and dust contamination, and will not be able to continuously provide lubrication for the sliding pair.
[0004] This leads to a significant increase in sliding resistance, which not only requires more driving power but may also cause the slide to jam, reduce the positioning accuracy of the equipment, accelerate the wear rate of the slide, shorten the service life of the slide, and increase the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the market for a transverse slide that can avoid the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned situation, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.
[0007] A transverse slide includes a base; a lubrication drive assembly is mounted on the surface of the base, the lubrication drive assembly including a slide plate slidably connected in a groove on the surface of the base, a stabilizing block symmetrically mounted on the surface of the slide plate, and a drive seat, balls, a lubrication tube, and a rubber plug for lubrication drive;
[0008] The surface of the slide plate is equipped with an auxiliary sliding assembly, which includes a folded rubber cover disposed on the surface of the base, connecting plates installed at both ends of the folded rubber cover, and bolts and limit rods for stabilization.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the stabilizing block is slidably connected in a clearance groove opened inside the base, the driving seat is installed on the bottom surface of the stabilizing block and slidably connected in an adjustment groove opened inside the base, a plurality of balls are evenly rolled and connected in a ball groove opened on the surface of the driving seat and fit against the adjustment groove opened inside the base, the lubrication pipe is installed inside the slide plate, and the discharge end of the lubrication pipe passes through the stabilizing block and the slide plate in sequence and extends into the interior of the driving seat.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the discharge end of the lubrication pipe is composed of two branch pipes, and the discharge ends of the two branch pipes extend into the adjustment groove opened inside the base.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the feed end of the lubrication tube passes through the slide plate and extends to the outside of the slide plate, and the rubber plug is inserted into the discharge end of the lubrication tube.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the discharge part of the lubrication tube is configured in an inverted Y-shape, and the inlet part of the lubrication tube is configured in an L-shape.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the two connecting plates are respectively attached to the base and the slide plate, and the two sets of bolts are respectively threaded into the threaded holes opened on the surface of the two connecting plates, and one end of the two sets of bolts passes through the connecting plate and is respectively threaded into the threaded holes opened on the surface of the base and the slide plate.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the limiting rod is slidably connected in the through hole opened on the surface of the stabilizing block, and both ends of the limiting rod penetrate the stabilizing block and are installed in the clearance groove opened inside the base.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. Based on the sliding fit between the slide plate and the base groove in the lubrication drive assembly, the stabilizing block provides sliding stability. The combination of the drive seat and the ball converts sliding friction into rolling friction, greatly reducing sliding resistance. At the same time, the lubrication pipe and the rubber plug form a supplementary lubrication channel, which can continuously supply lubricating medium to the sliding pair, avoid the problem of dry friction after long-term use, significantly improve the sliding stability of the slide during long-term operation, and extend the overall service life.
[0017] 2. The folded rubber cover in the auxiliary sliding assembly can block the sliding groove opening of the base, preventing dust and debris from entering the sliding area and avoiding impurities from aggravating wear; the connecting plate and bolts ensure that the folded rubber cover is installed firmly and facilitate the replacement of the aged folded rubber cover; the limit rod further restricts the sliding offset of the slide plate. The two work together to improve the accuracy and safety of the slide and extend the overall service life.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 A transverse slide block in one embodiment of the present utility model includes a base 1;
[0029] The surface of the base 1 is equipped with a lubrication drive assembly 2. The lubrication drive assembly 2 includes a slide plate 21 that is slidably connected to a slide groove on the surface of the base 1, a stabilizing block 22 symmetrically mounted on the surface of the slide plate 21, a drive seat 23 for lubrication drive, a ball 24, a lubrication tube 25, and a rubber plug 26.
[0030] The stabilizing block 22 is slidably connected in the clearance groove inside the base 1. The drive seat 23 is installed on the bottom surface of the stabilizing block 22 and is slidably connected in the adjustment groove inside the base 1. Multiple balls 24 are evenly rolled and connected in the ball groove on the surface of the drive seat 23 and fit in contact with the adjustment groove inside the base 1. The lubrication pipe 25 is installed inside the slide plate 21, and the discharge end of the lubrication pipe 25 passes through the stabilizing block 22 and the slide plate 21 in sequence and extends into the interior of the drive seat 23. Based on the sliding fit between the slide plate 21 and the slide groove of the base 1, the stabilizing block 22 provides sliding stability. The combination of the drive seat 23 and the balls 24 converts sliding friction into rolling friction, which greatly reduces sliding resistance. At the same time, the lubrication pipe 25 and the rubber plug 26 form a supplementary lubrication channel, which can continuously supply lubricating medium to the sliding pair, avoid the problem of dry friction after long-term use, significantly improve the sliding stability of the slide during long-term operation, and extend the overall service life.
[0031] The discharge end of the lubrication pipe 25 consists of two branch pipes, and the discharge ends of the two branch pipes extend into the adjustment groove opened inside the base 1. This allows for simultaneous lubrication of the contact surfaces on both sides of the drive seat 23 or the distribution area of multiple balls 24 within the adjustment groove. This avoids the problem of insufficient lubrication in certain areas caused by a single discharge port and ensures that all sliding contact areas within the adjustment groove are covered with lubricating oil.
[0032] The discharge end of the lubrication pipe 25 passes through the slide plate 21 and extends to the outside of the slide plate 21. The rubber plug 26 is inserted into the inlet end of the lubrication pipe 25. Operators can directly inject oil from the outside of the slide without disassembling the slide plate 21 or other parts. This avoids the defects of the existing slide oil injection, which requires stopping the machine to disassemble parts and is cumbersome. It improves the efficiency of lubrication maintenance and reduces equipment downtime.
[0033] The discharge section of the lubrication pipe 25 is designed with an inverted Y-shape, while the inlet section is designed with an L-shape, which allows the lubricating oil to be quickly distributed to the two branch pipes, greatly improving the efficiency of oil injection.
[0034] The surface of the slide plate 21 is equipped with an auxiliary sliding assembly 3. The auxiliary sliding assembly 3 includes a folded rubber cover 31 disposed on the surface of the base 1, a connecting plate 32 installed at both ends of the folded rubber cover 31, and bolts 33 and limit rods 34 for stabilization.
[0035] Two connecting plates 32 are respectively attached to the base 1 and the slide plate 21. Two sets of bolts 33 are respectively threaded into the threaded holes opened on the surface of the two connecting plates 32, and one end of each set of bolts 33 passes through the connecting plate 32 and is respectively threaded into the threaded holes opened on the surface of the base 1 and the slide plate 21. The folded rubber cover 31 can cover the sliding groove opening of the base 1 to prevent dust and debris from entering the sliding area and avoid impurities from aggravating wear. The connecting plates 32 and bolts 33 ensure that the folded rubber cover 31 is firmly installed and facilitate the replacement of the aged folded rubber cover 31. The limiting rod 34 further restricts the sliding deviation of the slide plate 21. The two work together to improve the accuracy and safety of the slide and extend the overall service life.
[0036] The limiting rod 34 is slidably connected in the through hole opened on the surface of the stabilizing block 22, and both ends of the limiting rod 34 pass through the stabilizing block 22 and are installed in the relief groove opened inside the base 1. It can strictly limit the sliding direction of the stabilizing block 22 and prevent the stabilizing block 22 from shifting laterally or rotating in the relief groove, thereby ensuring that the sliding trajectory of the slide plate 21 always remains straight.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Before the transverse slide is put into operation, the complete assembly and initial state confirmation must be completed: First, ensure that the base 1, as the basic load-bearing component, is installed firmly and that its surface and internal pre-set grooves, clearance grooves, and adjustment grooves are free of impurities and blockages. Then, assemble the lubrication drive assembly 2, embed the slide plate 21 into the groove on the surface of the base 1 to achieve a sliding connection, and then install the symmetrically distributed stabilizing blocks 22 on the surface of the slide plate 21, while making the stabilizing blocks 22 snap into the clearance groove inside the base 1 to ensure that the stabilizing blocks 22 can slide smoothly along the clearance groove; then, fix the drive seat 23 on the bottom surface of the stabilizing block 22, so that the drive seat 23 is embedded into the adjustment groove of the base 1 to form a sliding fit, and finally, evenly place the balls 24 in the ball groove on the surface of the drive seat 23 to ensure that the balls 24 are tightly fitted with the inner wall of the adjustment groove to achieve rolling contact. The second step is to assemble the auxiliary sliding assembly 3. The folded rubber cover 31 is placed over the surface of the base 1, ensuring that the connecting plates 32 at both ends of the folded rubber cover 31 are in contact with the surfaces of the base 1 and the slide plate 21, respectively. Bolts 33 are then passed through the threaded holes of the connecting plates 32 and screwed into the corresponding threaded holes of the base 1 and the slide plate 21, thus fixing the connecting plates 32. Finally, the limiting rod 34 is passed through the through hole of the stabilizing block 22, and both ends of the limiting rod 34 are fixed in the clearance groove of the base 1. At this point, the rubber plug 26 needs to be inserted into the feed end of the lubrication pipe 25 to prevent external impurities from entering the lubrication pipe 25, and the entire slide enters the ready-to-operate state.
[0038] When lubrication of the sliding components of the slide block is required, the following steps are performed: First, remove the rubber plug 26 from the inlet end of the lubrication pipe 25. Since the inlet section of the lubrication pipe 25 has an L-shaped structure, it is convenient for the operator to inject lubricating oil into the pipe through the inlet end. The injected lubricating oil flows along the internal channel of the lubrication pipe 25. When it reaches the outlet section, because the outlet section of the lubrication pipe 25 has an inverted Y-shaped structure, the lubricating oil will be evenly distributed to two branch pipes. Then, the lubricating oil is delivered to the target area, the adjusting groove inside the base 1, through the outlet end of the branch pipe. The material end extends into the adjustment groove, which can directly deliver lubricating oil to the contact surface between the drive seat 23 and the adjustment groove, and the contact area between the ball 24 and the adjustment groove and the ball groove, so as to achieve precise lubrication. After observing that the lubrication area is fully covered with lubricating oil (which can be judged by the transparent observation window or experience), the rubber plug 26 is re-inserted into the feed end of the lubrication tube 25. This prevents lubricating oil from leaking from the feed end and avoids dust, debris and other impurities from entering the lubrication tube 25 and contaminating the lubricating oil. This completes the injection and supply of the lubricating medium, laying the foundation for the smooth sliding of the slide in the future.
[0039] When an external drive system (such as a motor, cylinder, etc.) applies a lateral driving force to the slide plate 21, the slide plate enters the sliding operation stage: First, under the action of the driving force, the slide plate 21 slides laterally back and forth along the groove on the surface of the base 1. Since the stabilizing block 22 is installed on the surface of the slide plate 21 and embedded in the relief groove of the base 1, the stabilizing block 22 will slide synchronously with the slide plate 21 along the relief groove. At the same time, the limiting rod 34 passes through the through hole of the stabilizing block 22 and is fixed in the relief groove, which can accurately guide the sliding direction of the stabilizing block 22, effectively preventing the stabilizing block 22 and the slide plate 21 from deviating or shaking during the sliding process, and ensuring the stability of the sliding trajectory. Secondly, the drive seat 23 on the bottom surface of the stabilizing block 22 slides synchronously along the adjustment groove of the base 1 with the stabilizing block 22. During this process, the balls 24 in the ball groove of the drive seat 23 continuously adhere to the inner wall of the adjustment groove. The balls 24 will roll around their own axis, converting the sliding friction between the drive seat 23 and the adjustment groove into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the sliding resistance and reduces component wear. In addition, the lubricating oil previously injected into the adjustment groove will continue to adhere to the contact surface to form an oil film when the balls 24 roll and the drive seat 23 slides, further reducing the coefficient of friction and ensuring that the slide plate 21 can stably and smoothly drive the load (such as processing workpieces, mechanical grippers, etc.) to complete the lateral movement. At the same time, the lubrication pipe 25 is installed inside the slide plate 21 and will move synchronously with the slide plate 21, always maintaining the ability to replenish the oil in the lubrication area of the adjustment groove (if the lubricating oil is consumed, it can be injected again through the lubrication pipe 25).
[0040] During the entire lateral sliding process of the slide plate 21, the auxiliary sliding assembly 3 continuously plays a protective and stabilizing role: First, the folded rubber cover 31 expands and contracts synchronously with the movement of the slide plate 21. When the slide plate 21 moves in a certain direction, the folded rubber cover 31 on the side closer to the direction of movement is compressed and contracted. Since the folded rubber cover 31 forms a sealed connection with the base 1 and the slide plate 21 through the connecting plate 32, it can completely cover the opening parts of the base 1 such as the sliding groove, clearance groove, and adjustment groove, effectively preventing dust, metal shavings, coolant and other impurities in the external environment from entering the sliding pair and lubrication area, avoiding contamination of lubricating oil, jamming of the ball 24 or aggravation of component wear. Second, the bolt 33 can disassemble and replace the folded rubber cover 31. Through the synergistic effect of the auxiliary sliding assembly 3 and the lubrication drive assembly 2, the stability and safety of the lateral sliding of the slide are fully guaranteed, and the overall service life of the slide is significantly extended.
