[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0013] Example 1 This utility model provides an aluminum-clad steel rigid guide rail, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes: a lower guide rail 1, an upper guide rail 2, a stainless steel core 3, a slot 4, and a pre-positioning assembly. The lower guide rail 1 is used to support the aluminum-clad steel rigid guide rail, and the lower guide rail 1 is T-shaped. The upper guide rail 2 is connected to the lower guide rail 1 and is circular in shape. Both the lower guide rail 1 and the upper guide rail 2 are made of aluminum alloy. The stainless steel core 3 is movably mounted on the upper guide rail 2, and the slot 4 is located inside the stainless steel core 3. The pre-positioning assembly includes an elastic element 5, a snap-fit ​​element 6, a limiting element 7, and a silicone element 8. The elastic element 5 is connected to the upper guide rail 2. The elastic component 5 can be a spring. The snap-fit ​​component 6 is connected to the elastic component 5 and can be a snap-fit ​​block. Both sides of one end of the snap-fit ​​component 6 are beveled to reduce friction when in contact with the stainless steel core 3, thereby reducing the moving resistance of the stainless steel core 3. The snap-fit ​​component 6 is movably mounted on the upper guide rail 2 and snaps into the slot 4. The limiting component 7 is connected to the snap-fit ​​component 6 and can be a limiting block. The limiting component 7 is movably mounted on the upper guide rail 2. The silicone component 8 is adhered to the slot 4 and can be a silicone sheet, used to increase the... The frictional force when the snap-fit ​​6 contacts causes the elastic element 5 to keep the snap-fit ​​6 in contact with the silicone element 8. Two snap-fit ​​6s are provided on the upper guide rail 2, located at opposite ends of the upper guide rail 2. Each snap-fit ​​6 corresponds to a snap-fit ​​slot 4. The snap-fit ​​6s are located outside the elastic element 5. The upper guide rail 2 is elastically connected to the snap-fit ​​6s via the elastic element 5. The system also includes a fixing assembly, which includes a fixing element 9, an ear plate 10, and bolts 11. The fixing element 9 is fitted onto the stainless steel core 3 and can be used for fixing... The ear plate 10 is connected to the fixing member 9, and the ear plate 10 is kept in contact with the upper guide rail 2. The bolt 11 is connected to the ear plate 10 and the upper guide rail 2. The bolt 11 drives the fixing member 9 to keep in contact with the stainless steel core 3 through the ear plate 10. There are two fixing members 9 on the stainless steel core 3, and the two fixing members 9 are located at both ends of the stainless steel core 3. There are two ear plates 10 on the fixing member 9, and the two ear plates 10 are located at both ends of the fixing member 9. The ear plates 10 and the bolt 11 are set one-to-one.

[0014] With the help of the pre-positioning component, the stainless steel core 3 can be pre-positioned automatically and quickly, so that the stainless steel core 3 is stuck in the correct preset position. This eliminates the need for manual measurement and alignment, which not only effectively improves the subsequent fixing efficiency, but also effectively ensures the positional accuracy of the stainless steel core 3, thereby significantly improving the user experience of the guide rail.

[0015] In use, the operator first pushes the stainless steel core 3 into the upper guide rail 2 from left to right. As the stainless steel core 3 moves, it contacts the inclined surface of the locking piece 6, applying a squeezing force. The inclined surface ensures that the locking piece 6 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 5 and moves inward, allowing the stainless steel core 3 to continue moving inside the upper guide rail 2. Once the stainless steel core 3 is in place, the two slots 4 on it align with the two locking pieces 6. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 5, the locking piece 6 quickly pops out and engages with the corresponding slot 4, thus completing the pre-positioning of the stainless steel core 3 inside the upper guide rail 2. In the pre-positioned state, the locking piece 6 is pressed tightly against the silicone piece 8 by the elastic element 5, allowing the silicone piece 8 to be lifted. Providing greater static friction, it can effectively prevent the snap-fit ​​6 from dislodging from the slot 4 under slight external force, thereby ensuring the stability of the pre-positioning. It is used to prevent the stainless steel core 3 from moving axially inside the upper guide rail 2. After the stainless steel core 3 is pre-positioned, it is fixed using a fixing component. The fixing component 9 is sleeved on the end of the stainless steel core 3, and the ear plate 10 is tightly attached to the end face of the upper guide rail 2. Then, the bolt 11 is passed through the ear plate 10 and screwed into the pre-set threaded hole at the end of the upper guide rail 2. As the bolt 11 is tightened, the ear plate 10 drives the fixing component 9 to axially press the end of the stainless steel core 3. After this operation is performed simultaneously at both ends, the fixing component 9, under the strong locking force provided by the bolt 11, achieves the final fixation of the stainless steel core 3 inside the upper guide rail 2 securely and without shaking.

[0016] Specifically, the upper guide rail 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower guide rail 1. A stainless steel core 3 is movably connected inside the upper guide rail 2. A slot 4 is opened at the top of one end and the bottom of the other end of the stainless steel core 3. A silicone part 8 is bonded to the outer surface of the stainless steel core 3 at the slot 4. A snap-fit ​​part 6 is movably connected to the inner end of both ends of the upper guide rail 2 at the corresponding slot 4 positions. An elastic part 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the snap-fit ​​part 6. One end of the elastic part 5 is fixedly connected to the upper guide rail 2. Limiting parts 7 are fixedly connected to both ends of the snap-fit ​​part 6. The outer surface of the limiting part 7 is movably connected to the inside of the upper guide rail 2. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​part 6 is snapped into the inside of the slot 4. Fixing parts 9 are sleeved on both ends of the stainless steel core 3. Ear plates 10 are fixedly connected to both ends of the fixing parts 9. One end of the ear plate 10 is kept in contact with the outer surface of the upper guide rail 2. A bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the inside of the ear plate 10. One end of the bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the inside of the upper guide rail 2.

[0017] Working Principle: In actual use, the operator first pushes the stainless steel core 3 into the upper guide rail 2 from left to right. As the stainless steel core 3 moves, it contacts the inclined surface of the locking piece 6, applying a squeezing force. The inclined surface ensures that the locking piece 6 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 5 and moves inward, allowing the stainless steel core 3 to continue moving inside the upper guide rail 2. When the stainless steel core 3 is in place, the two slots 4 on the stainless steel core 3 align with the two locking pieces 6. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 5, the locking piece 6 quickly pops out and locks into the corresponding slot 4, thus completing the pre-positioning of the stainless steel core 3 inside the upper guide rail 2. In the pre-positioned state, the locking piece 6 is pressed tightly against the silicone element 8 by the elastic element 5. The silicone element 8 provides a large static friction force, effectively preventing the locking piece 6 from coming out of the slot 4 under slight external force, thus ensuring the pre-positioning. The stability of the position is used to prevent the stainless steel core 3 from moving axially inside the upper guide rail 2. After the stainless steel core 3 is pre-positioned, it is fixed using a fixing component. The fixing piece 9 is sleeved on the end of the stainless steel core 3, and the ear plate 10 is tightly attached to the end face of the upper guide rail 2. Then, the bolt 11 is passed through the ear plate 10 and screwed into the pre-set threaded hole at the end of the upper guide rail 2. As the bolt 11 is tightened, the ear plate 10 drives the fixing piece 9 to axially press the end of the stainless steel core 3. After this operation is performed simultaneously at both ends, the fixing piece 9, under the strong locking force provided by the bolt 11, achieves a secure and stable final fixation of the stainless steel core 3 inside the upper guide rail 2 without shaking. It can automatically and quickly achieve the pre-positioning of the stainless steel core 3, so that the stainless steel core 3 is stuck in the correct preset position. It can save the steps of manual measurement and alignment, which not only effectively improves the subsequent fixing efficiency, but also effectively ensures the positional accuracy of the stainless steel core 3, thereby significantly improving the user experience of the guide rail.
