Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slide rail structure technology, specifically to a track guide structure, a slide rail, and a cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] A drawer slide is a mechanical device that enables smooth linear reciprocating motion. It typically consists of outer, middle, and inner rails. Due to its low friction, high load-bearing capacity, and precise guidance, it is widely used in scenarios requiring flexible movement or pull-out mechanisms. For example, in server racks, drawer slides are installed between the rack and the equipment, allowing servers to slide out smoothly for maintenance or hardware replacement, preventing damage from direct dragging. In home or office settings, drawer slides ensure smooth and silent opening and closing of storage spaces. Whether it's a deep drawer in a kitchen cabinet or a multi-tiered drawer in a desk or filing cabinet, high-quality drawer slides ensure long-term use without jamming or falling off, significantly improving operational convenience and space utilization.

[0003] Between the middle rail and the inner rail, a cage and ball bearings are typically installed to improve the smoothness of their relative sliding. A guide structure is located at the end of the middle rail. This guide structure serves two purposes: firstly, it limits the movement of the cage relative to the middle rail; secondly, it supports the inner rail to ensure its proper function. However, a stop is also located at the front end of the middle rail for locking with the inner rail. Therefore, existing guide structures, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the guide includes a guide 106 and a connecting plate 107. The guide 106 is made of plastic, and its two sides have posts 108 for engaging with the grooves 103 on both sides of the middle rail 101. The guide 106 is hollowed out at the position corresponding to the stop block 109. During installation, the guide 106 is pressed into the middle rail 101 by deformation, and the posts 108 on both sides engage with the corresponding grooves 103. The connecting plate 107 is a thin metal plate. Finally, the connecting plate 107 is placed on top of the guide 106 and fixed to the middle rail 101 by rivets 2 and other connectors, thus completing the connection. However, the above-mentioned guide structure requires at least two parts, making assembly cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of numerous guide structure components and cumbersome assembly, this utility model provides a track guide structure, the specific technical solution of which is as follows: A track guide structure includes an integral guide plate, the guide plate including a connecting part and a pair of locking parts, the two locking parts being respectively disposed on both sides of the connecting part, the locking parts being elastically connected to the connecting part, the locking parts being adapted to the groove of the middle rail, the guide plate having a clearance groove for a stop block to pass through; the guide plate having a connector for connecting to the middle rail.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the integrated guide plate, the connecting part is directly pressed, causing the locking parts on both sides to deform first. When the locking part enters the groove position of the corresponding middle rail, the elastic action between the locking part and the connecting part allows the locking part to reset and smoothly lock into the groove of the middle rail. At this time, the stop block passes through the clearance groove. Finally, the guide plate is connected to the middle rail through the connector. The above guide structure consists of only an integrated guide plate and connector, which has fewer parts compared with the existing technology and is more convenient to install.

[0006] Furthermore, the locking part is bent into a cylindrical shape from the connecting part.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector includes a rivet, and the connecting part has a through hole, through which the rivet is fixed to the middle rail.

[0008] Furthermore, a bud is provided on the side of the through hole near the center rail, and the bud is inserted into a fixing hole pre-set on the center rail.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes inclined guide surfaces pre-set at both ends of the inner rail.

[0010] Accordingly, this utility model also provides a slide rail, including the track guide structure described above.

[0011] Accordingly, this utility model also provides a cabinet, including the slide rails described above. Attached Figure Description

When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0018] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0019] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a track guide structure in one embodiment of this utility model includes an integral guide plate 1, which is a thin elastic metal plate with a thickness of less than 0.3 mm, for example, made of SUS3010.6T. The guide plate 1 includes a connecting part 11 and a pair of locking parts 12. The two locking parts 12 are respectively disposed on both sides of the connecting part 11. The locking parts 12 are elastically connected to the connecting part 11. The locking parts 12 are adapted to fit into the groove 103 of the middle rail 101. The locking parts 12 are formed by bending the two sides of the guide plate 1 and are cylindrical. The side of the two locking parts 12 that is far apart from each other is inserted into the groove 103 of the middle rail 101, while the side of the two locking parts 12 that is close to each other is inserted into the sliding groove 104 of the inner rail 102. The guide plate 1 has a clearance groove 13 for the stop block 109 to pass through. The guide plate 1 is provided with a connector for connecting the middle rail 101.

[0020] During installation, the guide plate 1 is pressed directly, and the outer arc surface of the cylindrical locking part 12 guides it to deform smoothly. When the locking part 12 enters the groove 103 of the corresponding middle rail 101, the elasticity causes the locking part 12 to engage in the groove 103 of the middle rail 101. Finally, the guide plate 1 is stably connected to the middle rail 101 by the connector. This structure reduces the number of parts and is easy to install.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector includes a pair of rivets 2, and the connecting part 11 has a pair of through holes 14. The two through holes 14 are spaced apart along the length of the middle rail 101. The two rivets 2 are respectively inserted through the two through holes 14 and fixed to the middle rail 101, thereby achieving a quick connection between the guide plate 1 and the middle rail 101. A bud 15 is provided on the side of the through hole 14 near the middle rail 101. The bud 15 is inserted into the fixing hole 105 preset on the middle rail 101, thereby improving the locking force when the rivets 2 are fixed.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the track guide structure also includes inclined guide surfaces 3 preset at both ends of the inner rail 102, so that when the inner rail 102 is inserted into the middle rail 101, the inclined guide surfaces 3 abut against the ends of the two locking parts 12, playing a guiding role and making the insertion of the inner rail 102 smoother.

[0023] The implementation principle of the track guide structure in this application embodiment is as follows: When installing the integrated guide plate 1, the connecting part 11 is pressed directly, causing the locking parts 12 on both sides to deform first. When the locking part 12 enters the groove 103 position corresponding to the middle rail 101, the elastic action between the locking part 12 and the connecting part 11 allows the locking part 12 to reset and smoothly lock into the groove 103 of the middle rail 101. At this time, the stop block 109 passes through the clearance groove 13. Finally, the guide plate 1 is connected to the middle rail 101 by the rivet 2.

[0024] This application also discloses a slide rail, including the track guide structure described in the above embodiments.

[0025] This application also discloses a cabinet, which may be a power cabinet, monitoring cabinet, security cabinet, safe, server cabinet, etc. In this embodiment, the cabinet is a server cabinet, which includes the above-mentioned slide rails.

[0026] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0027] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
