Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to an integrated intelligent power guide rail module. Background Technology

[0002] A linear motor is a transmission device that directly converts electrical energy into linear motion mechanical energy without any intermediate conversion mechanism. Linear motors are also called linear actuators, linear motors, linear pushrod motors, and the most common types are flat plate type, U-slot type, and tubular type.

[0003] Currently, linear motor modules mainly consist of multiple parts such as mover, stator, guide rail, and slider. After a power outage and subsequent power restoration, the linear motor needs to return to zero and cannot start moving from the position at the moment of power failure, which takes a long time and results in low efficiency. In addition, the lifespan of linear motors needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an integrated intelligent power guide rail module.

[0005] The integrated intelligent power guide rail module of this application includes an integrated stator slide rail and an integrated mover module. The mover module is slidably fitted onto the stator slide rail. The mover module includes a mover, a mover coil winding, a slider, a position detection component, and a lubrication component. The slider is mounted on the mover, and the mover engages with the stator slide rail via mover balls. The position detection component includes a magnetic strip and a reading module. The magnetic strip is disposed on the top surface of the stator slide rail, and there are multiple magnetic strips arranged along the movement direction of the mover. The reading module is connected to the slider and moves synchronously with the slider. The reading module, in conjunction with the magnetic strip, detects the movement information of the slider, which includes at least one of position, speed, and stroke. The lubrication component is disposed on the slider and is used to lubricate the mover balls and the stator slide rail.

[0006] The intelligent power guide rail module of this application detects the motion information of the slider through the reading module and the magnetic strip, and stores the motion information in real time. This allows the module to save the slider's motion information even after power loss, enabling it to control the mover to drive the slider based on the recorded motion information upon power-up. This eliminates the time required for the mover to return to zero when power is restored, as is required with traditional linear motor modules, effectively improving the working efficiency of the intelligent power guide rail module upon power-up. Simultaneously, the lubrication component ensures smoother slider movement, reducing wear and tear and extending the overall lifespan of the intelligent power guide rail module.

[0007] In some embodiments, the reading module further includes a housing, a control chip, a communication chip, and an electromagnetic sensor. The control chip, the communication chip, and the electromagnetic sensor are all disposed in the housing. The control chip is used to record and store the motion information detected in real time by the magnetic strip in conjunction with the electromagnetic sensor. The magnetic strip is a magnet. The communication chip is used to interact with the motion information with external devices. The electromagnetic sensor cooperates with the magnetic strip.

[0008] In the above implementation, the control chip can record and store slider motion information from the electromagnetic sensor. Working in conjunction with the communication chip, it can exchange motion information with external devices, enabling remote viewing of the motion information and real-time monitoring of the intelligent power guide rail module's motion status. Furthermore, when the system is powered on again after a power outage, the slider can directly resume movement from its position at the time of the power outage based on the position information stored in the control chip, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the intelligent power guide rail module upon power restoration.

[0009] In some embodiments, there are multiple electromagnetic sensors, which are aligned or staggered along the width direction of the stator slide rail.

[0010] In the above embodiment, the relative positions of multiple electromagnetic sensors and the slider remain unchanged. The position of the motion is primarily tested using a magnetic grid formed by magnetic strips arranged on the stator slide rail. Multiple electromagnetic sensors on the reading module are arranged laterally or longitudinally staggered between two magnetic strips on the stator slide rail, forming a hardware-level subdivision of the magnetic strip spacing. The electromagnetic sensors can obtain the position information of the slider relative to the stator slide rail by detecting changes in the magnetic field of the magnets. Furthermore, the multiple electromagnetic sensors can further obtain information such as the slider's speed and stroke based on the position information.

[0011] In some embodiments, the reading module further includes a vibration sensor and a temperature sensor disposed within the housing, the vibration sensor and the temperature sensor being disposed side by side, the vibration sensor being used to detect the vibration of the slider, and the temperature sensor being used to detect the temperature of the moving element.

[0012] In the above embodiments, the vibration sensor of the reading module can detect the vibration information of the slider relative to the stator slide rail in real time, thereby determining whether the intelligent power guide rail module has experienced severe wear, ensuring the working effect of the intelligent power guide rail module when it is working normally. The temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the mover in real time to ensure that it is at a suitable working temperature, further ensuring the normal operation of the intelligent power guide rail module.

[0013] In some embodiments, the reading module includes a heat sink connected to the housing and covering the interior space of the housing.

[0014] In the above embodiment, the heat sink ensures that the reading module is at its normal operating temperature, guaranteeing that the slider's motion information can be successfully recorded, stored, and transmitted. The housing prevents external objects from contacting it and causing malfunctions. Simultaneously, the heat sink also serves a protective function, working together with the housing to protect the internal components and ensure their functionality.

[0015] In some embodiments, the intelligent power guide rail module further includes inductive magnets and Hall sensors. There are multiple inductive magnets, which are arranged along the length of the slide rail on the side of the slide rail. The Hall sensors are connected to the lubrication assembly, and the Hall sensors cooperate with the inductive magnets to detect the zero position and travel limit position of the slider.

[0016] In the above implementation, when the Hall sensor enters the magnetic field strength trigger range of the sensing magnet, the Hall sensor outputs a signal, and the system stops the motor smoothly according to the signal to prevent the motor from exceeding the soft limit position and ensure the safety of the intelligent power guide rail module.

[0017] In some embodiments, the intelligent power guide rail module includes a sensing grid disposed on the side of the stator slide rail and a reading head opposite the sensing grid. The sensing grid is arranged along the length direction of the slide rail, and the reading head is used to cooperate with the sensing grid to detect and store the motion information in real time.

[0018] In the above embodiment, the sensing grid on the side of the stator slide rail can detect absolute and relative positions, and the reading head can directly obtain the actual position information of the slider, thereby eliminating all intermediate errors from the motor to the slider and making the slider's movement more precise. Simultaneously, at the instant the intelligent power guide rail module is powered on again after a power outage, the reading head can read its position relative to the sensing grid, thus determining the absolute coordinates of the slider throughout its entire stroke. The intelligent power guide rail module does not need to return to zero, effectively improving its operating efficiency.

[0019] In some embodiments, the intelligent power guide rail module includes a cooling system, which includes cooling pipes installed inside the mover for cooling the intelligent power guide rail module.

[0020] In the above embodiment, the cooling pipe located inside the mover can remove the heat generated by the interaction of the magnetic fields of the stator and the mover, thereby cooling the intelligent power guide rail module, ensuring the operating temperature of the motor, guaranteeing the stability of the magnetic field, and ensuring that the movement effect of the mover meets expectations.

[0021] In some embodiments, the lubrication assembly includes an oil reservoir, a draining element, and an oiling element. The draining element is located on both sides of the oil reservoir and is used to drain the lubricating oil from the oil reservoir. The oiling element is connected to the draining element and is used to apply the lubricating oil to the surface of the stator slide rail.

[0022] In the above embodiments, the lubricating oil makes the slider run more smoothly on the stator slide rail. The lubrication component allows the lubricating oil to flow out actively from the oil storage part through the guide component, without the need for additional power to draw the lubricating oil out of the oil storage part, which is conducive to improving the overall economy of the intelligent power guide rail module.

[0023] In some embodiments, the lubrication assembly further includes an oil level sensor, a display, and a seal. The oil level sensor is mounted on the oil reservoir, the display is mounted on the surface of the oil reservoir to display the oil level in the oil reservoir, and the seal covers the oiling member to seal the lubricating oil on the oiling member.

[0024] In the above embodiments, the seal prevents external impurities from entering the lubricating oil, ensuring that the composition of the lubricating oil is not damaged and that the lubrication function is functioning properly. The oil level sensor can provide real-time feedback on the oil level in the reservoir, allowing for timely oil replenishment and preventing the lubricating oil from running out and affecting the lubrication function.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The intelligent power guide rail module 100 of this application includes an integrated stator slide rail 10 and an integrated mover module 20. The mover module 20 is slidably fitted on the stator slide rail 10. The mover module 20 includes a mover 21, a slider 22, a position detection component 40, and a lubrication component 50. The slider 22 is mounted on the mover 21, and the mover 21 cooperates with the stator slide rail through mover balls. The position detection component 40 includes a magnetic strip 41 and a reading module 42. The magnetic strip 41 is disposed on the top surface of the stator slide rail 10, and there are multiple magnetic strips 41 arranged along the movement direction of the mover 21. The reading module 42 is connected to the slider 22 and moves synchronously with the slider 22. The reading module 42 cooperates with the magnetic strip 41 to detect the movement information of the slider 22 and stores the movement information in real time. The movement information includes at least one of position, speed, and stroke. The lubrication component 50 is disposed on the slider 22 and is used to lubricate the mover balls and the stator slide rail 10.

[0034] The intelligent power guide rail module 100 of this application detects the motion information of the slider 22 by reading the module 41 in conjunction with the magnetic strip 41, and stores the motion information in real time. This allows the module to save the motion information of the slider 22 even after power failure, enabling it to control the mover 21 to drive the slider 22 based on the recorded motion information upon power-on. This eliminates the time required for the mover 21 to return to zero when power is restored, as is common with traditional linear motors, effectively improving the working efficiency of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 upon power-on. Simultaneously, the lubrication component 50 ensures smoother movement of the slider 22, reducing wear and tear and extending the overall lifespan of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0035] Specifically, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 includes a stator, which is the component in the intelligent power guide rail module 100 used to provide the core driving force, that is, to generate a moving magnetic field. The stator is fixed in the intelligent power guide rail module 100 to drive the moving component, namely the mover 21, to achieve energy conversion. The stator slide rail 10 is a robust structural component made of materials including but not limited to aluminum profiles and steel. It is not only a carrier for installing windings and iron cores, but also a high-precision guide and load-bearing rail, which can provide precise guidance and support for the mover 21 and withstand the gravity from the load perpendicular to the direction of movement, ensuring that the mover 21 can only move smoothly and with high precision along a preset straight path.

[0036] The mover 21 refers to the part of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 that ultimately generates mechanical motion and directly drives the load to do work. The mover module 20 includes a mover coil winding, which is a set of current-carrying conductors installed on the mover 21. When a phase-changing current is passed through the mover coil winding, a magnetic field is generated inside the intelligent power guide rail module 100. This magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field generated by the stator, thereby generating a direct, non-contact electromagnetic thrust on the mover 21, causing it to perform precise linear motion.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, the mover 21 drives the slider 22, which is fixedly connected to it, to move together along the stator slide rail 10. The thrust generated by the mover 21 is directly transmitted to the slider 22 without intermediate links, realizing direct driving of the slider 22 and achieving high precision and high dynamic response of the slider 22.

[0038] The slider 22 is an independent and precise mechanical component. In one embodiment of this application, the stator slide rail 10 is provided with a ball track, on which a moving ball is mounted. The slider 22 and the ball track on the stator slide rail 10 are precisely matched through the moving ball. By the rolling of the moving ball, deviation and jamming are avoided, so that the slider 22 can make high-precision linear motion in a certain direction on the stator slide rail 10.

[0039] The lubrication component 50 is a structural device that provides, distributes, and manages lubricant for the stator slide rail 10 in the intelligent power guide rail module 100. The lubrication component 50 uses lubricating oil to form a protective oil film between the moving stator slide rail 10 and the moving ball, which transforms the dry friction of direct contact between the surfaces of the stator slide rail 10 and the moving ball into liquid shearing within the oil layer. This can reduce the wear of the stator slide rail 10 and reduce the heat generated by the friction between the two. The lubricating oil can also provide rust protection for the stator slide rail 10, effectively extending the life of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0040] The position detection component 40 is a key component that can detect, measure, and provide feedback on the linear displacement of the slider 22 in real time. It converts the motion information of the slider 22, such as its position, speed, and stroke, into easily processed signals, allowing the system to precisely control the movement of the slider 22 based on these signals. The magnetic strip 41 of the position detection component 40 can be a precision-manufactured fixed element with periodic engravings or codes. The magnetic strip 41 is fixed on the stator slide rail 10 and arranged along the movement direction of the mover 21. The length direction of the magnetic strip 41 can be perpendicular to the movement direction of the mover 21 or form a certain tilt angle with it. Its surface has certain physical features that can contain position information. The reading module 42 interacts with the magnetic strip 41, responsible for reading the position information on the magnetic strip 41 and converting it into signals, enabling the system to adjust according to the position information to ensure the precise movement of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0041] The mover 21 and slider 22 of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 of this application are integrated into an integrated mover module 20. Multiple functional modules of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 are integrated into one, and each function is interconnected and supports each other to form an integrated intelligent power guide rail module 100, which greatly improves the functionality of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is another three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 includes a sensing grid 411 disposed on the side of the stator slide rail 10. The sensing grid 411 is arranged along the length direction of the stator slide rail 10. The reading module 42 includes a reading head 421 opposite to the sensing grid 411. The reading head 421 is used to cooperate with the sensing grid 411 to detect and store motion information in real time.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the sensing grid on the side of the stator slide rail 10 can detect absolute and relative positions, and the reading head 421 can directly obtain the actual position information of the slider 22, thereby eliminating all intermediate errors from the motor to the slider 22 and making the movement of the slider 22 more precise. At the same time, at the moment when the intelligent power guide rail module 100 is powered on again after being powered off, the reading head 421 can read its position relative to the sensing grid 411, thereby determining the absolute coordinates of the slider 22 throughout its stroke. The intelligent power guide rail module 100 does not need to return to zero, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0044] Specifically, the sensing grid 411 is fixed on the motor stator slide rail 10. The sensing grid 411 can be a metal ruler with densely spaced, equally spaced micro-scales, providing absolute position information of the mover 21 at extremely high resolution and frequency. The system can compare the actual position feedback from the sensing grid 411 and correct errors in real time, thereby eliminating all errors caused by intermediate mechanical transmission links and ensuring the precise operation of the intelligent power guide rail module 100. The system can calculate a smooth and accurate actual speed value of the slider 22 based on the position information, and perform real-time compensation accordingly to ensure that the motor remains stable even when running at high speed. For example, the sensing grid 411 can be a magnetic grid.

[0045] The reader 421 is a sensor component in the intelligent power guide rail module 100 system used to detect, in real time and with high precision, the absolute position of the mover 21 relative to the stator slide rail 10 and other related information. The relative position of the slider 22 and the reader 421 remains unchanged. The reader 421 is opposite to the sensing grid 411 located on the side of the stator slide rail 10. The reader 421 can read the position of the corresponding sensing grid 411, thereby obtaining the position of the reader 421 on the stator slide rail 10. The reader 421 can store the position information of the slider 22. When the intelligent power guide rail module 100 is powered off and then powered on again, it can directly calculate the path based on the stored position information and move the slider 22 from the power-off position to the target position, thereby improving the working efficiency of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the reading module 42 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a partial three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the reading module 42 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the magnetic strip 41 is a magnet 412 located on the top surface of the stator slide rail 10. There are multiple magnets 412, which are arranged along the length direction of the slide rail. The reading module 42 includes multiple electromagnetic sensors 428 that cooperate with the magnets 412. The multiple electromagnetic sensors 428 are aligned or staggered along the width direction of the slide rail.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the relative position of the electromagnetic sensor 428 and the slider 22 remains unchanged. The position of the motion is mainly tested by the magnetic grid formed by the magnetic strips 41 arranged on the stator slide rail 10. The multiple electromagnetic sensors 428 on the reading module 42 are arranged laterally or longitudinally between the two magnetic strips 41 on the stator slide rail 10 to form a hardware subdivision of the spacing between the magnetic strips 41. The electromagnetic sensors 428 can obtain the position information of the slider 22 relative to the stator slide rail 10 by sensing the change in the magnetic field of the magnet 60. In addition, the electromagnetic sensors 428 can further obtain information such as the speed and stroke of the slider 22 based on the position information.

[0048] Specifically, multiple magnets 412 are arranged sequentially along the length of the stator slide rail 10. When current passes through the magnets 412 on the top surface of the stator slide rail 10, the multiple magnets 412 form a periodic magnetic field on the stator slide rail 10, which can be directly used as a position reference. The electromagnetic sensor 428 utilizes the changes in the electromagnetic properties of the magnets 412 to convert the information of the slider 22 into a usable signal. The electromagnetic sensor 428 can sense the periodic magnetic field of the magnets 412, thereby obtaining information such as the position and speed of the slider 22 relative to the stator slide rail 10. In the embodiments of this application, the multiple electromagnetic sensors 428 can be arranged staggered along the length of the stator slide rail 10, or they can be arranged side-by-side along the length of the stator slide rail 10. Thus, no additional components need to be provided on the stator slide rail 10; the electromagnetic sensors 428 can directly sense the stator slide rail 10, and they have a high response speed, good environmental adaptability, and a relatively simple structure, which helps reduce maintenance costs.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 In some embodiments, the reading module 42 further includes a housing 422, a control chip 423, and a communication chip 424. The control chip 423, the communication chip 424, and the electromagnetic sensor 428 are all disposed in the housing 422. The control chip 423 is used to record and store motion information detected in real time by the magnet 412 in conjunction with the electromagnetic sensor 428. The communication chip 424 is used to communicate the motion information with external devices.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the control chip 423 can record and store the motion information of the slider 22 from the electromagnetic sensor 428. In conjunction with the communication chip 424, it can interact with external devices to remotely view the motion information and monitor the motion status of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 in real time. Furthermore, when the system is powered on again after a power outage, the slider 22 can start moving directly from its position at the time of the power outage based on the position information stored in the control chip 423, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 when it is powered on again.

[0051] Specifically, the control chip 423 is the core computing unit of the reading module 42. It executes predetermined programs or instructions, processes and calculates data to obtain, record, and store information about the slider 22, and simultaneously coordinates the operation of the communication chip 424 within the reading module 42. When the intelligent power guide rail module 100 is powered off and then powered on again, because the control chip 423 stores the position information of the slider 22 at the time of power failure, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 does not need to return to zero, and the slider 22 can continue to perform high-precision movement from the power-off position. The communication chip 424 is responsible for data transmission and reception between the intelligent power guide rail module 100 and external devices according to a specific communication protocol.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, the communication chip 424 can be a wireless communication chip 424. The control chip 423 is electrically connected to the communication chip 424. The communication chip 424 is used to interact with external devices to exchange motion information of the intelligent power guide rail module 100. The operation information of multiple intelligent power guide rail modules 100 can be fed back to the same external device, which improves monitoring efficiency and effectively reduces labor costs.

[0053] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 In some embodiments, the reading module 42 further includes a vibration sensor 425 and a temperature sensor 426 disposed in the housing 422. The vibration sensor 425 and the temperature sensor 426 are disposed side by side. The vibration sensor 425 is used to detect the vibration of the slider 22, and the temperature sensor 426 is used to detect the temperature of the mover 21.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the vibration sensor 425 of the reading module 42 can detect the vibration information of the slider 22 relative to the stator slide rail 10 in real time, thereby determining whether the intelligent power guide rail module 100 has experienced severe wear, ensuring the working effect of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 when it is working normally. The temperature sensor 426 can detect the temperature of the mover 21 in real time, ensuring that it is at a suitable working temperature, further ensuring the normal operation of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0055] Specifically, vibration sensor 425 and temperature sensor 426 are installed inside housing 422. Vibration sensor 425 is used to detect the vibration state of intelligent power guide rail module 100 during operation, converting the physical quantity of mechanical vibration or impact of slider 22 into a measurable signal. Based on this signal, the wear state of intelligent power guide rail module 100 can be judged, preventing excessive wear of intelligent power guide rail module 100 from affecting its normal operation. In the embodiments of this application, the vibration of slider 22 can originate from the rolling of moving ball bearings on stator slide rail 10.

[0056] Temperature sensor 426 converts the physical quantity of temperature into a readable and further processed signal. The system can determine whether the mover 21 is in a normal working state based on the current temperature, preventing the mover 21 from operating at excessively high temperatures and affecting its motion performance. For example, temperature sensor 426 can directly detect the temperature of its surrounding environment to reflect the current surface temperature of the mover 21, or it can measure the temperature by sensing the infrared energy radiated outward by the mover 21. The operating current required by the reading module 42 can be provided by the battery box connected to the slider 22.

[0057] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 In some embodiments, the reading module 42 includes a heat sink 427, which is connected to the housing 422 and covers the internal space of the housing 422.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the heat sink 427 ensures that the reading module 42 is at its normal operating temperature, guaranteeing that the motion information of the slider 22 can be successfully recorded, stored, and transmitted. The housing 422 prevents external objects from contacting it and causing malfunctions. At the same time, the heat sink 427 also has a certain protective function, working together with the housing 422 to protect the internal components and ensure their functionality.

[0059] Specifically, the heat sink 427 is a device used to dissipate heat from the heat-generating electronic components inside the reading module 42. By increasing the contact area with the surrounding air, the heat sink 427 accelerates the dissipation of heat inside the reading module 42, thus cooling the multiple sensors and chips located inside the housing 422. The heat sink 427 can be made of aluminum alloy, which has good thermal conductivity. The housing 422 is a structural component that wraps around the reading module 42, serving as the physical boundary between the reading module 42 and its external environment. It provides physical protection for the multiple sensors and chips located within its internal space, preventing external solid foreign objects or liquids from entering and causing short-circuit faults in the reading module 42. The heat sink 427 is mounted on the housing 422, forming an integral part of the housing 422, providing both heat dissipation and physical protection for the reading module 42.

[0060] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 In some embodiments, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 further includes an induction magnet 60 and a Hall sensor 70. There are multiple induction magnets 60, which are arranged on the side of the slide rail along the length of the slide rail. The Hall sensor 70 is connected to the lubrication assembly 50. The Hall sensor 70 and the induction magnet 60 cooperate to detect the zero position and the stroke limit position of the slider 22.

[0061] In the above embodiment, when the Hall sensor 70 enters the magnetic field strength trigger range of the induction magnet 60, the Hall sensor 70 outputs a signal, and the system stops the motor smoothly according to the signal to prevent the motor from exceeding the soft limit position and ensure the safety of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0062] Specifically, the induction magnet 60 is a permanent magnet. Multiple induction magnets 60 are installed on the side of the stator slide rail 10, at defined travel limit positions and zero positions, generating a stable magnetic field region around them. The Hall sensor 70 is a magnetosensitive electronic component capable of detecting the presence and intensity of the magnetic field. The Hall sensor 70 moves with the slider 22. When the Hall sensor 70 approaches the induction magnet 60, the magnetic field of the induction magnet 60 penetrates the Hall sensor 70, forming a Hall effect. When the magnetic field intensity exceeds a preset threshold, the Hall sensor 70 outputs a signal. The system can determine the current position of the slider 22 based on the signal. When the slider 22 approaches the limit position, it can smoothly decelerate, implementing dynamic braking to ensure the safety of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0063] Different numbers of induction magnets 60 are installed at different positions on the side of the stator slide rail 10. This allows different magnetic field strengths to be generated at different positions of the stator slide rail 10. When the Hall sensor 70 interacts with this magnetic field, it can determine whether the slider 22 is at the zero position or the travel limit position based on the different magnetic field strengths. In the embodiments of this application, one induction magnet 60 is provided at one extreme position of the stator slide rail 10, two induction magnets 60 are provided at another extreme position, and three induction magnets 60 are provided at the zero position. Both the Hall sensor 70 and the induction magnets 60 are low-cost components, which helps to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0064] In addition, when the Hall sensor 70 malfunctions, the anti-collision plates 90 located at both ends of the stator slide rail 10 can provide final stroke protection for the slider 22, ensuring that the slider 22 will not run out of the stator slide rail 10.

[0065] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 In some embodiments, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 includes a cooling system 80, which includes a cooling pipe 81 installed inside the mover 21 for cooling the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the cooling pipe 81 located inside the mover 21 can cool down the intelligent power guide rail module 100 by removing the heat generated by the magnetic field of the stator and the mover 21, ensuring the operating temperature of the motor, ensuring the stability of the magnetic field, and making the movement effect of the mover 21 meet expectations.

[0067] Specifically, the cooling system 80 is a component that transfers excess heat generated inside the intelligent power guide rail module 100 during operation to the external environment, thereby maintaining its temperature within a specific safe and efficient range. During operation, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 generates a large amount of heat due to coil resistance, causing the motor temperature to rise rapidly. Excessive temperature may cause demagnetization of the permanent magnet and affect the uniformity of the magnetic field, directly impacting the performance of the intelligent power guide rail module 100. Simultaneously, excessive temperature accelerates the aging and embrittlement of the coil insulation layer. The cooling system 80 continuously removes heat, controlling the motor temperature below the demagnetization point of the permanent magnet and below the temperature resistance rating of the insulation material. It also reduces thermal deformation, ensuring that the moving parts maintain extremely high positioning accuracy and repeatability throughout the entire working cycle, guaranteeing the normal operation of the intelligent power guide rail module 100. For example, the cooling pipes 81 of the cooling system 80 can be circulated with coolant or cooled by blowing in cold air to achieve the cooling function.

[0068] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the lubrication assembly 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the lubrication assembly 50 includes an oil reservoir 51, a draining member 52, and an oiling member 53. The draining member 52 is located on both sides of the oil reservoir and is used to drain the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir 51. The oiling member 53 is connected to the draining member 52 and is used to apply the lubricating oil to the surface of the stator slide rail 10.

[0069] In the above embodiments, the lubricating oil makes the slider 22 run more smoothly on the stator slide rail 10. The lubrication component 50 can make the lubricating oil flow out from the oil storage part 51 through the guide part 52, without the need for additional power to draw the lubricating oil out from the oil storage part 51, which is conducive to the overall economic improvement of the intelligent power guide rail module 100.

[0070] Specifically, the oil reservoir 51 is responsible for storing and supplying lubricating oil. The oil reservoir 51 has a certain three-dimensional space to hold a certain amount of lubricating oil, ensuring that the intelligent power guide rail module 100 has sufficient lubricating oil available within a specific cycle. Simultaneously, the oil reservoir has a large contact area with air, which helps dissipate heat from the lubricating oil and prevents performance degradation due to excessively high oil temperature. The guide member 52 safely and controllably delivers lubricating oil from the oil reservoir 51 to the oiling member 53. The guide member 52 is located on both sides of the oil reservoir 51, extending from the top of the oil reservoir 51 to the oiling member 53, ensuring that an appropriate amount of lubricating oil is drawn out and flows along the path defined by the guide member 52. For example, the guide member 52 can be felt. The oiling member 53 directly contacts the surface of the stator slide rail 10 that needs lubrication, applying the lubricating oil to the stator slide rail 10 in the form of an oil film, preventing lubricating oil leakage into non-target areas. The lubrication assembly 50 also includes cover plates 56 located on both sides of the oil reservoir 51 along its length. The cover plates 56 isolate the draining component 52 and the oiling component 53 from the external environment, preventing particulate impurities from adhering to the surface and affecting lubrication. Through the cooperation of various components, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 can obtain continuous, stable, and adequate lubrication, thereby ensuring its long service life, high efficiency, and reliable operation.

[0071] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a partial three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the intelligent power guide rail module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the lubrication assembly 50 further includes an oil level sensor 54, a display 55, and a seal 57. The oil level sensor 54 is mounted on the oil reservoir 51, the display 55 is mounted on the surface of the oil reservoir 51 to display the oil level in the oil reservoir 51, and the seal 57 covers the oiling component 53 to seal the lubricating oil on the oiling component 53.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the seal 57 prevents external impurity particles from entering the lubricating oil, ensuring that the composition of the lubricating oil is not damaged and that the lubrication function is functioning normally. The oil level sensor 54 can provide real-time feedback on the oil level in the oil reservoir 51, allowing for timely oil replenishment and preventing the lubricating oil from running out and affecting the lubrication function.

[0073] Specifically, the oil level sensor 54 is the core detection element installed in the lubrication assembly 50. It can monitor the presence, position, or pressure changes of the lubricating oil in real time and convert these physical quantities into signals that can be processed. The display 55 serves as a human-machine interface, receiving signals from the oil level sensor and converting the signals detected by the oil level sensor 54 into information that the operator can intuitively understand. Thus, the operator can monitor the oil level information within the lubrication assembly 50 in real time through the display 55, preventing oil depletion and dry friction, effectively ensuring the stable operation of the intelligent power guide rail module 100. The seal 57 is a functional component installed on the surface of the stator slide rail 10. By forming a physical barrier, it prevents lubricating oil leakage from internal connection points and blocks external contaminants from entering the lubrication points. Reliable sealing can improve the effectiveness of the lubrication assembly 50 and the lifespan of the intelligent power guide rail module 100. In the embodiments of this application, there are two lubrication assemblies 50, located on both sides of the stator slide rail 10.

[0074] In summary, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 of this application embodiment is highly integrated, capable of recording and storing the position information of the slider 22, enabling communication with external devices, and requiring no return to zero upon power restoration after a power outage, thus improving the operating efficiency of the intelligent power guide rail module 100. Furthermore, the intelligent power guide rail module 100 of this application embodiment has a longer lifespan thanks to the lubrication component 50.
