Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a slide rail mechanism, and more particularly to a slide rail mechanism that can temporarily hold a locking member in an unlocked state via a predetermined component. [Background technology]

[0002] U.S. Patent No. 11,540,630 discloses a slide rail assembly including a first rail, a second rail, a predetermined structure, a locking member, and an operating member. The second rail (e.g., an inner rail) is longitudinally movable relative to the first rail (e.g., an outer rail). The predetermined structure is disposed on the first rail and has a blocking portion. The locking member is movably attached to the second rail. The operating member is configured to drive and move the locking member.

[0003] When the second rail is in a retracted position relative to the first rail, the elastic member abuts against a predetermined structure, thereby holding the locking member in a locked state in which it is blocked by the blocking portion in response to the elastic force of the elastic member to prevent the second rail from moving in the open direction away from the retracted position. When a force is applied to the operating member to move the operating member from the first position to the second position, the operating member is configured to drive the locking member to move to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state, thereby no longer blocking the locking member by the blocking portion to allow the second rail to be moved in the open direction away from the retracted position.

[0004] Specifically, when the second rail is in a retracted position relative to the first rail, a user can apply force to the operating member to move the operating member from the first position to the second position, driving the locking member to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. However, when the user stops applying force to the operating member and the second rail remains in the retracted position without being moved in the open direction by the user, the locking member is configured to return from the unlocked state to the locked state by the elastic force of the elastic member, and the second rail is locked in the retracted position by the locking member. In other words, the user must continuously apply force to the operating member to keep the locking member in the unlocked state. This is therefore inconvenient for users to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is important to develop a variety of slide rail products to meet the needs of different markets.

[0006] The present invention provides a slide rail mechanism that can hold a locking member in an unlocked state via a predetermined component.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the slide rail mechanism comprises: a first rail including a blocking feature; a movable rail that is movable relative to the first rail; a locking member that is movable relative to the movable rail so as to be in a locked state or an unlocked state; An elastic member; a predetermined component disposed on the movable rail; When the movable rail is in a predetermined position relative to the first rail, the locking member in the locked state is configured to be blocked by a blocking feature to prevent the movable rail from being moved in a predetermined direction away from the predetermined position; when a force is applied to the locking member to move it to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state, the locking member in the unlocked state is no longer blocked by the blocking feature to allow the movable rail to move in the predetermined direction away from the predetermined position; When the locking member is in an unlocked state, the locking member and the predetermined component are configured to engage with each other to maintain the locking member in the unlocked state, and the elastic member is configured to accumulate an elastic force; During the process of the movable rail being moved in a predetermined direction away from the predetermined position, the first rail is configured to disengage the locking member from the predetermined component, thereby causing the locking member to move to switch from an unlocked state to a locked state in response to the elastic force released by the elastic member.

[0008] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the slide rail mechanism comprises: a first rail including a blocking feature; a movable rail that is movable relative to the first rail; a locking member that is movable relative to the movable rail; predetermined components, the locking member is configured to be blocked by a blocking feature to prevent the movable rail from being moved in a predetermined direction away from the retracted position when the locking member is in a locked state; When the locking member is in the unlocked state, the locking member is not blocked by the blocking feature to allow the movable rail to be moved in a predetermined direction away from the retracted position, and the locking member is configured to engage with a predetermined component to hold the locking member in the unlocked state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] 1 to 3, the slide rail mechanism 20 includes a first rail 26 and a movable rail 28 that is movable longitudinally relative to the first rail 26. In the figures, the X axis is the longitudinal direction (or the length or movement direction of the slide rail), the Y axis is the transverse direction (or the lateral direction of the slide rail), and the Z axis is the vertical direction (or the height direction of the slide rail).

[0012] Specifically, the slide rail mechanism 20 includes a first slide rail assembly 22 and a second slide rail assembly 24. The first slide rail assembly 22 is longer than the second slide rail assembly 24, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first slide rail assembly 22 includes a first rail 26, a second rail 30, and a third rail 32. The first rail 26 is configured with a support frame 34. The support frame 34 is attached to an auxiliary frame 36 of the first rail 26, which is connected (e.g., fixedly connected) to the first rail 26, and the support frame 34 is connected (e.g., fixedly connected) to the auxiliary frame 36, so that the support frame 34, the auxiliary frame 36, and the first rail 26 may be considered to be a single unit. The second rail 30 is movably attached between the first rail 26 and the third rail 32.

[0013] Meanwhile, the second slide rail assembly 24 is movable relative to the first slide rail assembly 22. The second slide rail assembly 24 includes a support rail member 38, an outer rail 40, an intermediate rail 42, and a movable rail 28. The support rail member 38 is movably attached to the first rail 26. The outer rail 40 is connected to the support rail member 38. In this embodiment, the outer rail 40 and the support rail member 38 are fixedly connected to each other and may be considered to be one unit. The intermediate rail 42 is movably attached between the outer rail 40 and the movable rail 28.

[0014] Preferably, support rail member 38 of second slide rail assembly 24 is configured to partially cover first rail 26 of first slide rail assembly 22. Support rail member 38 has at least one support section, such as first support section 44a and second support section 44b, configured to retain first wall 27a and second wall 27b of first rail 26 (shown in FIG. 2).

[0015] Preferably, the support rail member 38 is configured with at least one rolling member 46 (such as a roller shown in FIG. 2 ). The rolling member 46 is configured to contact the first rail 26 (first wall portion 27 a of the first rail 26) to roll in the longitudinal direction of the first rail 26, so as to improve the smoothness of movement of the support rail member 38 (and outer rail 40) relative to the first rail 26.

[0016] Preferably, first rail 26 has opposed first and second ends 26a, 26b, e.g., a front end and a rear end. First rail 26 is configured with a blocking portion 48 adjacent second end 26b. Blocking portion 48 is configured to block outer rail 40, thereby blocking second slide rail assembly 24 relative to first slide rail assembly 22 and enabling the second slide rail assembly 24 to be in the retracted position (shown in FIG. 1).

[0017] 4, first rail 26 includes blocking feature 50. In this embodiment, blocking feature 50 is disposed on support frame 34 at sub-frame 36 of first rail 26, although the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0018] The slide rail mechanism 20 further includes a locking member 52 and a predetermined component 54. Preferably, the slide rail mechanism 20 further includes an elastic member 56.

[0019] The locking member 52 is movable relative to the movable rail 28. When the movable rail 28 is at a predetermined position P1 relative to the first rail 26, the locking member 52, which is in a locked state S1 relative to the movable rail 28, is configured to be blocked by the blocking feature 50 in order to be locked relative to the first rail 26. For example, the locking portion 58 of the locking member 52 in the locked state S1 is configured to be blocked by the blocking feature 50 in order to prevent the movable rail 28 from moving in a predetermined direction D1 (such as the opening direction) away from the predetermined position P1 (see FIG. 1 ) relative to the first rail 26. Note that in this embodiment, the predetermined position P1 is a retracted position, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0020] Preferably, the movable rail 28 has a first end 28a and a second end 28b, e.g., a front end and a rear end, that are opposite to each other. The movable rail 28 is configured with an auxiliary member 60. For example, the auxiliary member 60 is connected (e.g., fixedly connected) to the movable rail 28, and thus the auxiliary member 60 and the movable rail 28 may be considered to be one unit. The auxiliary member 60 is adjacent to the first end 28a of the movable rail 28.

[0021] Preferably, the locking member 52 is movably attached to the auxiliary member 60. For example, the locking member 52 is pivotally connected to the auxiliary member 60 via a shaft 62, and the locking member 52 is configured to be held in the locked state S1 in response to an elastic force provided by an elastic member 56.

[0022] Preferably, the predetermined component 54 is disposed on the auxiliary member 60. In this embodiment, the predetermined component 54 is an elastic piece, although the present invention is not limited thereto. The locking member 52 has a first engagement feature 64, and the predetermined component 54 has a second engagement feature 66 configured to interact with the first engagement feature 64. The first engagement feature 64 and the second engagement feature 66 may be a combination of a hole and a protrusion, or a combination of a recess structure and a protrusion structure, although the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0023] Preferably, the predetermined component 54 is configured with a guide structure 68, and the guide structure 68 has an inclined surface or an arcuate surface, although the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0024] 5 , when a force F is applied to the locking member 52 by a user to move the locking member 52 from the locked state S1 to the unlocked state S2, the locking member 52 in the unlocked state S2 is no longer blocked by the blocking feature 50 to be unlocked from the first rail 26. For example, the locking portion 58 of the locking member 52 in the unlocked state S2 is not blocked by the blocking feature 50 to allow the movable rail 28 to be moved in the predetermined direction D1 away from the predetermined position P1 relative to the first rail 26. When the locking member 52 is in the unlocked state S2, the locking member 52 and the predetermined component 54 are configured to engage with each other via the first engagement feature 64 and the second engagement feature 66 to temporarily hold the locking member 52 in the unlocked state S2. Furthermore, when the locking member 52 is in the unlocked state S2, the elastic member 56 is in a state of storing elastic force.

[0025] Furthermore, when the locking member 52 is held in the unlocked state S2, the user may stop applying the force F. In other words, the user does not need to continuously apply the force F to the locking member 52. This makes the operation convenient for the user.

[0026] Preferably, the locking member 52 is configured with an operating unit 70. A user can easily apply a force F to the locking member 52 via the operating unit 70 to move the locking member 52 to switch it from the locked state S1 to the unlocked state S2.

[0027] Preferably, synchronization mechanisms (not shown) are disposed between the outer rail 40 and the intermediate rail 42, and between the intermediate rail 42 and the movable rail 28. When the locking member 52 is not blocked by the blocking feature 50 and is in the unlocked state S2, the movable rail 28, the intermediate rail 42, and the outer rail 40 can move synchronously in a predetermined direction D1 away from the predetermined position P1 via the synchronization mechanisms. Furthermore, when the movable rail 28, the intermediate rail 42, and the outer rail 40 are synchronously moved a predetermined distance in the predetermined direction D1, the synchronization mechanisms disposed between the rails are disabled. Such configurations are well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore further illustrations thereof will be omitted for the sake of simplicity.

[0028] 6 to 10, during the process of moving the movable rail 28 (together with the outer rail 40 and the intermediate rail 42) relative to the first rail 26 from a predetermined position P1 in a predetermined direction D1 to another predetermined position P2, the first rail 26 is configured to disengage the locking member 52 from a predetermined component 54 (shown in FIGS. 8 to 9). As a result, the locking member 52 is configured to return from the unlocked state S2 (shown in FIGS. 6 to 9) to the locked state S1 (shown in FIG. 10) in response to the elastic force released by the elastic member 56.

[0029] For example, during the process of moving the movable rail 28 (together with the outer rail 40 and the intermediate rail 42) relative to the first rail 26 from a predetermined position P1 in a predetermined direction D1, a predetermined portion 72 of the support frame 34 of the auxiliary frame 36 of the first rail 26 is configured to abut against the guide structure 68 of the predetermined component 54 (shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 ) to deflect the predetermined component 54 in the transverse direction T (or lateral direction) from its initial state. This is to disengage the first engagement feature 64 of the locking member 52 from the second engagement feature 66 of the predetermined component 54 (shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 ). In this way, the locking member 52 is configured to return from the unlocked state S2 (shown in FIG. 9 ) to the locked state S1 (shown in FIG. 10 ) in response to the elastic force released by the elastic member 56. The predetermined component 54 is also configured to return to its initial state by its own elastic force.

[0030] Therefore, when the movable rail 28 (together with the outer rail 40 and the intermediate rail 42) is moved relative to the first rail 26 from a predetermined position P1 (shown in FIG. 5) in a predetermined direction D1 to a predetermined position P2 (shown in FIG. 10), the first engagement feature 64 of the locking member 52 disengages from the second engagement feature 66 of the predetermined component 54. The locking member 52 is configured to return from the unlocked state S2 to the locked state S1 in response to the elastic force of the elastic member 56.

[0031] Preferably, the auxiliary member 60 includes a restricting portion 74 (shown in FIGS. 5 and 9). When the locking member 52 is moved to switch from the locked state S1 to the unlocked state S2, the restricting portion 74 is configured to block the locking member 52 in the unlocked state S2 in order to restrict (limit) the range of movement of the locking member 52. In this embodiment, the restricting portion 74 is a protrusion, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0032] Preferably, the locking portion 58 of the locking member 52 includes a guide section 76 having an inclined surface or an arcuate surface (shown in FIG. 10 ). During the process of moving the movable rail 28 (together with the outer rail 40 and the intermediate rail 42) from a predetermined position P2 to a predetermined position P1 relative to the first rail 26 in a predetermined direction D2 opposite to the predetermined direction D1 (e.g., the backward direction), the guide section 76 is configured to abut against a corresponding feature 78 of the support frame 34 to allow the locking portion 58 to easily cross the corresponding feature 78. As a result, the locking portion 58 is configured to be blocked by the blocking feature 50. In this embodiment, the corresponding feature 78 and the blocking feature 50 are located at two opposite ends (e.g., a front end and a rear end) of the extension portion 80 of the support frame 34, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 11 , multiple slide rail mechanisms 20 (e.g., two slide rail mechanisms 20) have the same structural configuration (since the structural configuration of the slide rail mechanism 20 has already been disclosed, further illustrations are omitted for simplicity's sake). Furthermore, the slide rail mechanisms 20 are attached to a rack 82 at different heights via a first rail 26 (an auxiliary frame 36 of the first rail 26). In this embodiment, the rack 82 has a first post 84 a and a second post 84 b (e.g., a front post and a rear post), but the present invention is not limited to this. The movable rail 28 of the slide rail mechanism 20 is configured to transport an article (not shown), and in the locked state S1, the movable rail 28 is locked at a predetermined position P1 relative to the first rail 26 via a locking member 52.

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 , a user can apply force F to move the locking member 52 from the locked state S1 (shown in FIG. 11 ) to the unlocked state S2 (shown in FIG. 12 ). The predetermined component 54 is configured to temporarily hold the locking member 52 in the unlocked state S2. When the locking member 52 is held in the unlocked state S2, the user may stop applying force F. In other words, the user does not need to continuously apply force F to the locking member 52. Therefore, the user can operate other components. For example, when a user stands in front of the rack 82, the user may pull an article being transported by the movable rail 28 of the slide rail mechanism 20 from a predetermined position P1 in a predetermined direction D1 to be adjacent to the first post 84a (such as the front post) to facilitate maintenance operations on the slide rail and / or the article being transported. Therefore, since the predetermined component 54 of the slide rail mechanism 20 temporarily holds the locking member 52 in the unlocked state S2, it is convenient for the user to operate the slide rail mechanism 20 alone.

[0035] Therefore, the slide rail mechanism 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the following technical features.

[0036] 1. When the movable rail 28 is in a predetermined position P1 (such as a retracted position, but the present invention is not limited to this) relative to the first rail 26, the locking member 52 in the locked state S1 is configured to be blocked by the blocking feature 50 to prevent the movable rail 28 from moving in a predetermined direction D1 away from the predetermined position P1. When a force F is applied to the locking member 52 to move the locking member 52 from the locked state S1 to the unlocked state S2, the locking member 52 in the unlocked state S2 is no longer blocked by the blocking feature 50 to allow the movable rail 28 to move in the predetermined direction D1 away from the predetermined position P1. When the locking member 52 is in the unlocked state S2, the locking member 52 and a predetermined component 54 engage with each other to temporarily hold the locking member 52 in the unlocked state S2, and the locking member 52 will not return to the locked state S1 from the unlocked state S2 even if the movable rail 28 is still in the predetermined position P1. During the process of moving movable rail 28 in predetermined direction D1 from predetermined position P1 relative to first rail 26, first rail 26 is configured to disengage locking member 52 from predetermined component 54 to allow locking member 52 to return from unlocked state S2 to locked state S1. Preferably, locking member 52 is configured to return from unlocked state S2 to locked state S1 in response to the elastic force of elastic member 56.

[0037] 2. When the locking member 52 is engaged with the predetermined component 54 and held in the unlocked state S2, the user may stop applying the force F. In other words, the user does not need to continuously apply the force F to the locking member 52. This makes it convenient for the user to operate the slide rail mechanism 20 and facilitates maintenance of the slide rail and / or the article being transported.

[0038] Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that numerous modifications and variations of the apparatus and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the present invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the above disclosure be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
