Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slide rail technology, specifically to a ring-shaped guide rail with a positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] The circular guide rail with positioning device is a modular conveying device based on a closed-loop track design. It typically consists of a track body, a slide unit, a transmission system, and a positioning device. During operation, a servo motor receives pulse signals to drive a synchronous pulley, moving the slide to the vicinity of the target workstation. Simultaneously, a laser calibrator adjusts the flatness and straightness of each track segment. Combined with the error compensation function of the positioning device, seamless connection between different sections of the track is achieved. Circular guide rails with positioning devices are widely used in new energy manufacturing, semiconductor packaging, medical automation, and intelligent warehousing.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN210372704U, entitled "A Slide Rail," includes an outer rail, an inner rail, balls, and a ball retainer. The outer rail has a U-shaped cross-section and a groove along its length. The inner rail extends into the groove, and a plurality of balls are disposed within the groove and between the outer and inner rails. The ball retainer is formed by folding a first wear-resistant metal strip in half. When unfolded, the first wear-resistant metal strip includes a first strip portion and a second strip portion, with corresponding first and second ball holes respectively provided on the first and second strip portions. The first and second bead holes have a minimum diameter smaller than the diameter of the ball. When the first wear-resistant metal strip is folded in half, the corresponding first and second bead holes respectively fit the same ball from two opposite directions. After the first wear-resistant metal strip is folded in half, the first strip portion and the second strip portion are fixedly connected, and the ball is wrapped between the first strip portion and the second strip portion and is rotatably disposed in the corresponding first and second bead holes. The folding line on the first wear-resistant metal strip for the folding is arranged along the direction of the groove.
[0004] While the existing technologies can achieve slide rail installation, in practical use, on the one hand, the precision of slide rail assembly is not high enough. By attaching multiple slide rail segments together and installing them on the base, misalignment can easily occur at the slide rail connection points, thus affecting the operation of the slide block. On the other hand, it is difficult to install slide rails of different sizes on the base. Usually, the threaded holes on the base and the slide rail correspond to each other, which means that different bases are required when changing slide rails of different sizes, thus reducing the adaptability of the base. Therefore, it does not meet the current needs. To address this, we propose a ring guide rail with a positioning device. Utility Model Content

At this time, the operator first puts the first nut into the first through hole and the first nut is locked and fixed with the first through hole. At this time, the operator aligns the first bolt with the lower opening of the first fixing cavity and inserts it into the first fixing cavity. Then the operator rotates the first bolt until the first bolt is moved to the appropriate position. At this time, the first bolt passes through the first nut and contacts the lower end of the fixing frame. When the first slide rail and the second slide rail are fixed, the operator puts the second nut into the second through hole and the second nut is locked and fixed with the second through hole. At this time, the operator aligns the second bolt with the lower opening of the second fixing cavity and inserts it into the second fixing cavity. Then the operator rotates the second bolt until the second bolt is moved to the appropriate position. At this time, the second bolt passes through the second nut and contacts the lower end of the fixing frame, thereby improving the flexibility of slide rail fixing. Attached Figure Description
