Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of linear module technology, specifically a protective shell for the smooth operation of a linear module. Background Technology
[0002] Linear modules, also known as linear slides, Cartesian robots, or electric cylinders, are mechanical devices used to achieve linear motion. Their working principle varies depending on the type of module, but they all basically involve converting rotary motion into linear motion through some kind of transmission mechanism (such as belts, ball screws, etc.).
[0003] Utility model patent CN202220948244.2 discloses a fully protected linear module. This fully protected linear module includes a moving mechanism; a rotary motor is mounted at one end of a base profile, and the rotary motor is connected to a lead screw located above the base profile. The lead screw is movably mounted with a slider; a top cover is located above the lead screw and fixed to both ends of the base profile; and dustproof strips are provided between the top cover and the base profile and on both sides of the lead screw. The two dustproof strips are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner, and the horizontal distance between the tops of the two dustproof strips is smaller than the horizontal distance between their bottoms. In this technical solution, the linear module is doubly protected by the top cover and dustproof strips, making it difficult for external impurities to enter and ensuring the service life of the linear module. The dustproof strip and the top cover are two independent parts, which facilitates the movement path of the slide platform. At the same time, since the two dustproof strips are located below the top cover and in the middle, the gap between the dustproof strip and the top cover for the movement path of the slide platform is open downwards, making it more difficult for impurities to enter. In addition, the dustproof strip and the top cover are staggered vertically, which further improves the protective performance. Furthermore, the dustproof strip is in a state of inward at the top and outward at the bottom, so even if there is dust or impurities, they will slide off along the outer wall of the dustproof strip.
[0004] Although the fully protected linear module provides protection through its protective cover, the cover has the following drawbacks in actual use: the cover is fixed to the end cap by multiple bolts on both sides. This design requires workers to remove and install multiple bolts when assembling and disassembling the cover, increasing the complexity and difficulty of disassembly and assembly. This makes it inconvenient for workers to inspect and maintain the internal components of the linear module later. Therefore, we propose a protective shell for the smooth operation of the linear module. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a protective shell for the smooth operation of a linear module. The protective shell not only protects the linear module and ensures its stable operation, but also has the advantage of easy disassembly and assembly, facilitating the opening of the linear module's interior for inspection and maintenance.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] The protective housing for the smooth operation of the linear module includes a protective cover, the bottom of which has through slots at both the front and rear ends;
[0008] The protective cover has a base at both the front and rear ends. The top of the base has two slots, and each slot has a slot on one side.
[0009] The top of the protective cover is equipped with quick-release components at both the front and rear ends. The quick-release components include a housing that is fixed to the protective cover. Two sliding grooves are opened at the bottom of the housing. A guide rod is fixed in each of the sliding grooves. A spring is sleeved on the outside of each guide rod. A connecting block is also slidably installed on the outside of the guide rod. The bottom end of the connecting block passes through the groove and is inserted into the slot. A locking block is fixed on each of the two opposite ends of the two connecting blocks. The locking block engages with the corresponding locking slot.
[0010] In addition, the protective shell for the smooth operation of the linear module proposed in the above application may also have the following additional technical features:
[0011] Specifically, the outer wall of the housing is provided with a connecting groove that communicates with the sliding groove, and a slider is slidably installed in the sliding groove. The slider is fixed to the connecting block, and a push block is fixed to the outer wall of the slider.
[0012] Specifically, the connecting block and the locking block are integrally formed structures, and both the connecting block and the locking block are made of stainless steel.
[0013] Specifically, the protective cover has a U-shaped cross-section and is made of aluminum alloy.
[0014] Specifically, the connecting block has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and the size of the connecting block is adapted to the size of the groove.
[0015] Specifically, the housing is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover by bolts, and the housing is made of aluminum alloy.
[0016] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the slot and the groove is rectangular, and the slot and the groove are located on the same vertical plane.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] The design incorporates a protective cover, a base, and quick-release components: the protective cover has a housing on top, inside which are movable connecting blocks and locking blocks. When the locking blocks engage with the locking slots, the protective cover can be connected and fixed to the base; when the locking blocks disengage from the locking slots, the protective cover can be quickly disassembled from the base. This design, through the protective cover, not only protects the linear module and ensures its stable operation, but also has the advantage of easy disassembly and assembly, thus facilitating the opening of the linear module's interior for inspection and maintenance.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0029] This embodiment provides a technical solution:
[0030] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, the protective shell for the smooth operation of the linear module includes a protective cover 1. The bottom of the protective cover 1 has through slots 10 at both the front and rear ends. The bottom of the protective cover 1 has a base 2 at both the front and rear ends. The top of the base 2 has two slots 20, and one side of each slot 20 has a locking groove 21. The top of the protective cover 1 has quick-release components 3 at both the front and rear ends. The quick-release components 3 include a housing 30 fixed to the protective cover 1. The bottom of the housing 30 has two sliding grooves 300. A guide rod 31 is fixed in each sliding groove 300. A spring 32 is sleeved on the outside of each guide rod 31. A connecting block 33 is also slidably installed on the outside of the guide rod 31. The bottom end of the connecting block 33 passes through the through slot 10 and is inserted into the slot 20. The two opposite ends of the two connecting blocks 33 are fixed with locking blocks 36. The locking blocks 36 engage with the corresponding locking grooves 21.
[0031] Furthermore, each outer wall of the housing 30 is provided with a connecting groove 301 that communicates with the sliding groove 300. A slider 34 is slidably installed in each sliding groove 300. The slider 34 is fixed to the connecting block 33, and a push block 35 is fixed to the outer wall of each slider 34. The horizontal position of the connecting block 33 can be easily adjusted by using the push block 35 and the slider 34, which improves the convenience of adjustment.
[0032] In this embodiment, the connecting block 33 and the locking block 36 are integrally formed structures, and both the connecting block 33 and the locking block 36 are made of stainless steel. The integrally formed connecting block 33 and the locking block 36 have better connection strength, ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the connecting block 33 and the locking block 36, while the stainless steel material has the advantages of corrosion resistance and high strength, ensuring the service life of the connecting block 33 and the locking block 36.
[0033] In this embodiment, the protective cover 1 has a U-shaped cross-section and is made of aluminum alloy. The U-shape provides better protection for the linear module, while aluminum alloy has the advantages of being lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ensuring the service life and protective effect of the protective cover 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting block 33 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and its dimensions are adapted to the dimensions of the slide groove 300. This design ensures the stability and accuracy of the connecting block 33 within the slide groove 300, preventing shaking or misalignment.
[0035] In this embodiment, the housing 30 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 1 by bolts, and the housing 30 is made of aluminum alloy. This design reduces the overall weight and provides a stable connection structure, facilitating installation and maintenance.
[0036] In this embodiment, both the through groove 10 and the slot 20 have rectangular cross-sectional shapes and are located on the same vertical plane. This design facilitates the connection block 33 passing through the through groove 10 and the slot 20, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the protective cover 1, i.e., the base 2.
[0037] It should be added that the outer wall of the push block 35 in this embodiment has an inclined surface. This design makes it convenient for users to push the push block 35 to move through the inclined surface, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the horizontal position of the connecting block 33. This design makes it convenient for users to operate.
[0038] When it is necessary to disassemble the protective cover 1, the user first pushes the push block 35 from both sides inward. The push block 35 causes the slider 34 to slide along the connecting groove 301. The slider 34 causes the connecting block 33 to slide along the guide rod 31. At the same time, the spring 32 is compressed by the connecting block 33. At this time, the connecting block 33 causes the locking block 36 to disengage from the slot 21. Then the user lifts the protective cover 1 upward. The protective cover 1 causes the housing 30 to move upward. At this time, the connecting block 33 causes the locking block 36 to disengage from the slot 20, and the protective cover 1 is disassembled.
[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
