[0030] like Figure 1-4As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a multifunctional linear module includes a worktable 10, a first transmission component 20, a second transmission component 30, a monitoring component 40, and a fixture component 50. The first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the worktable 10. The monitoring component 40 is disposed between the first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30 and is used to monitor the transmission speed between the first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30. The fixture component 50 includes a first fixture element 51 and a second fixture element 52.

The first transmission component 20 drives the first fixture element 51 to move in the opposite direction or in the same direction as the second transmission component 30 drives the second fixture element 52 on the worktable 10. In this embodiment, the coordinated operation of the first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30, which are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the workbench 10, ensures the motion accuracy and stability of the fixture component 50, effectively reducing the offset or shaking problems that may be caused by unilateral transmission, and providing a stable power transmission structure for the entire module. The monitoring component 40 is set between the first and second transmission components 30, which can monitor the transmission rate between the two in real time, so that the operator can keep track of the transmission status. The first fixture element 51 is on the first transmission component 20, and the second fixture element 52 is on the second transmission component 30. The two transmission components can drive the fixture elements to make opposite or the same movements. The flexible movement mode greatly expands the application scenarios of the module and can meet different process requirements, such as material clamping and transfer, product assembly and other operations, improving the functionality and versatility of the module. It is highly practical.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a mounting plate 11 and a mounting bracket 12 are provided on the workbench 10. The first transmission component 20 is disposed on the mounting plate 11, and the second transmission component 30 is disposed on the mounting bracket 12. In this embodiment, by providing a mounting plate 11 and a mounting bracket 12 on the workbench 10, and placing the first transmission component 20 on the mounting plate 11 and the second transmission component 30 on the mounting bracket 12, different transmission components are rationally distributed, achieving efficient use of space and avoiding mutual interference between components.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the inner walls of both sides of the mounting plate 11 are provided with first slide rails 13, and the inner sides of the first slide rails 13 are provided with first grooves 14. The first transmission component 20 is driven along the first slide rails 13. The inner walls of both sides of the mounting bracket 12 are provided with second slide rails 121, and the inner sides of the second slide rails 121 are provided with second grooves 122. The second transmission component 30 is driven along the second slide rails 121. In this embodiment, the first slide rails 13 provide a precise running track for the first transmission component 20.

The second slide rails 121 and the second grooves 122 create a stable and precise operating environment for the second transmission component 30.

[0033] The first transmission assembly 20 includes a first mounting base 21, a first drive motor 22, a first drive wheel 23, a first synchronous belt 24, a first driven wheel 25, and a first transmission frame 26. The first drive motor 22 is mounted on the first mounting base 21, the first drive wheel 23 is mounted on the first drive motor 22, and the first synchronous belt 24 is respectively sleeved on the first drive wheel 23 and the first driven wheel 25. One end of the first drive motor 22 is connected to drive the first drive wheel 23, and the first drive wheel 23 drives the first driven wheel 25 and the first synchronous belt 24 to slide within the first slide rail 13. In this embodiment, the first mounting base 21 provides a stable mounting foundation for components such as the first drive motor 22, ensuring operational stability. The first drive motor 22 serves as a power source, precisely outputting power to drive the first drive wheel 23. The first drive wheel 23, in conjunction with the first synchronous belt 24, can efficiently and stably transmit power to the first driven wheel 25, achieving smooth transmission. The first driven wheel 25 drives related components to slide within the first slide rail 13, ensuring the accuracy and smoothness of linear motion. The entire transmission assembly works collaboratively to effectively realize power transmission and linear motion, improve module working efficiency, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of equipment operation.

[0034] A first slider 27 is provided on the first transmission frame 26 near the first transmission assembly 20. A first mounting block 28 is provided on one end of the first transmission frame 26 near the first slider 27. The first mounting block 28 is used to mount the first slider 27 on the first transmission frame 26. The first mounting block 28 slides along the first synchronous belt 24. The first slider 27 has first protrusions at both ends. One end of the first protrusion abuts against the first slide groove 14. The first slider 27 slides synchronously with the first mounting block 28 along the first slide rail 13. In this embodiment, the first slider 27 cooperates with the first mounting block 28 to securely mount the slider on the first transmission frame 26, ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure. The first mounting block 28 slides along the first synchronous belt 24, which can accurately transmit power and effectively drive the first transmission frame 26 to move along a predetermined trajectory. The first protrusions at both ends of the first slider 27 abut against the first slide groove 14, which plays a guiding and limiting role, ensuring that the slider slides synchronously along the first slide rail 13 and the first mounting block 28, improving the accuracy of the movement. This allows the multi-functional linear module to achieve more precise linear movement during operation, reducing deviations and thus improving the overall working performance and processing accuracy of the equipment.

[0035] The second transmission assembly 30 includes a second mounting base 31, a second transmission frame 32, a second slider 33, and a second mounting block 34. The second transmission frame 32 is mounted on the second mounting base 31. The second slider 33 and the second mounting block 34 are respectively located at both ends of the second transmission frame 32. The second mounting block 34 is used to mount the second slider 33 on the second transmission frame 32. One end of the second slider 33 slides along the second slide rail 121. In this embodiment, the second mounting base 31 provides a stable support foundation for the second transmission frame 32, ensuring transmission stability. The second transmission frame 32, mounted on it, serves as a key component, connecting and supporting the second slider 33 and the second mounting block 34. The second slider 33 and the second mounting block 34 are respectively located at both ends. The second mounting block 34 enables the precise installation of the second slider 33 on the second transmission frame 32, ensuring a stable connection between the two. By sliding the second slider 33 along the second slide rail 121, precise linear motion is achieved, enabling the entire module to complete the corresponding work tasks efficiently and stably, improving the functionality and reliability of the module in practical applications.

[0036] The two ends of the first transmission frame 26 are respectively mounted on the first transmission assembly 20 and the second transmission assembly 30; the two ends of the second transmission frame 32 are respectively staggered with the first transmission frame 26 on the first transmission assembly 20 and the second transmission assembly 30. In this embodiment, by mounting the two ends of the first transmission frame 26 on the first transmission assembly 20 and the second transmission assembly 30, the power is effectively transmitted and distributed, enabling the linear module to receive power input from different directions or sources, optimizing the power transmission path, and improving the overall transmission efficiency. The two ends of the second transmission frame 32 are staggered with the first transmission frame 26 on the two transmission assemblies, and the staggered layout disperses the force, avoids local stress concentration, reduces component wear and failure risk, provides the module with more flexible motion modes and stroke control, can better adapt to complex and ever-changing work requirements, and improves the practicality and reliability of the multi-functional linear module.

[0037] Two sets of first sliders 27 are provided. One set of first sliders 27 slides along the first slide rail 13 at one end; the other set of first sliders 27 slides along the second slide rail 121 at one end. Similarly, two sets of second sliders 33 are provided. One set of second sliders 33 slides along the second slide rail 121 at one end; the other set of second sliders 33 slides along the first slide rail 13 at one end. In this embodiment, by having two sets of first sliders 27 slide along the first and second slide rails 121 respectively, and two sets of second sliders 33 also slide along the second and first slide rails 13 respectively, this staggered arrangement greatly enhances the module's motion flexibility and controllability; it enables diverse linear motion paths, meeting the working requirements of different directions and trajectories under complex working conditions.

[0038] The monitoring component 40 includes a ranging element 41 and a surveying element 42. The ranging element 41 is disposed between the first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30; the surveying element 42 is disposed at the other end of the first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30, relative to the ranging element 41. In this embodiment, by disposing of the ranging element 41 between the first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30, the distance change between the two components can be accurately measured, providing key data for the operating status of the transmission system. The surveying element 42 is disposed at the other end relative to the ranging element 41, allowing for the acquisition of more information from different angles and a comprehensive survey of the module's operating environment and status. The two components work together to monitor the module's operating parameters in real time, promptly identifying potential problems such as transmission deviation and component wear, thereby improving the module's stability, reliability, and operating efficiency.

[0039] A first positioning block 511 is provided on the first fixture element 51. Multiple first positioning blocks 511 are provided and distributed around the perimeter of the first fixture element 51. The first fixture element 51 is mounted on the first transmission assembly 20 and positioned by the first positioning blocks 511. A second positioning block 521 is provided on the second fixture element 52. Multiple second positioning blocks 521 are provided and distributed around the perimeter of the second fixture element 52. The second fixture element 52 is mounted on the second transmission assembly 30 and positioned by the second positioning blocks 521. In this embodiment, by distributing multiple first positioning blocks 511 around the first fixture element 51, the first fixture element 51 is precisely mounted on the first transmission assembly 20, which effectively improves the accuracy and stability of the installation of the first fixture element 51, ensures its positional accuracy during operation, and reduces displacement deviation. Similarly, multiple second positioning blocks 521 are distributed around the second fixture element 52, allowing the second fixture element 52 to be accurately positioned on the second transmission assembly 30, ensuring the installation accuracy and stability of the second fixture element 52. This arrangement improves the positioning accuracy of the fixture assembly 50 in the entire multi-functional linear module, thereby enhancing the reliability of the module's operation and the precision of its processing.
