Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing monorail synchronous belt sliding table module components are large in axial occupied space, making them unsuitable for applications with limited installation spaces, and they cannot independently move multiple sliders in the same direction and opposite directions as required by some load structures.
Innovation Solution
A monorail independent dual-slider synchronous belt sliding table module component with a compact structure is designed, featuring a sliding table base module with parallel slide rails, a sliding table module with independently moving sliders, and driving end modules with synchronous belts that allow for independent movement of the sliders in the same or opposite directions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple module components are arranged in parallel to satisfy independent movement requirements, then the independence of slider movement is improved, but the axial occupied space increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two independent slider modules into a single integrated component. The first slider and second slider share common structural elements including the slide rail, transmission groove, and synchronous belts. This merging allows both sliders to move independently in the same or opposite directions while occupying significantly less axial space than parallel arrangement would require.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested configuration where the second slider and its transmission components are positioned within the same axial space as the first slider. The second transmission part is convexly provided with an avoidance part that allows the first synchronous belt to pass through, enabling both sliders to share the same transmission path without interfering with each other's independent movement.
2Length of stationary object
If a compact structure is designed to reduce axial occupied space, then the space efficiency is improved, but the complexity of arranging multiple independent sliders deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sliding table module into distinct functional parts: a sliding table base module with parallel slide rails, a sliding table module with first and second sliders, and driving end modules with synchronous belts. Each segment has a specific function, and their modular arrangement simplifies the overall structural design while maintaining compact dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent resolves spatial constraints by transitioning from a single-dimensional linear arrangement to a multi-dimensional configuration. The first and second transmission parts are arranged in the same horizontal plane but at different positions, while the synchronous belts are arranged in the same vertical plane. This dimensional reorganization allows independent slider movement within a compact axial footprint.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the sliders are designed to move in both same and opposite directions independently, then the versatility is improved, but the transmission mechanism complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the transmission mechanism with universal functionality where the first and second synchronous belts and their corresponding driving end modules can operate independently or in coordination. The same basic transmission components (synchronous belt, transmission groove, slide rail) serve multiple functions: enabling independent movement, same-direction movement, and opposite-direction movement of the sliders, thereby reducing the need for separate specialized mechanisms.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The compact design allows for independent movement of two sliders in the same or opposite directions, reducing space occupancy and enhancing control accuracy, making it suitable for applications with limited space or high space requirements.
Implementation Method 1
a first synchronous belt which is arranged in an extension direction of the transmission groove and is in transmission connection with the first transmission part after passing through the avoidance part; and a second synchronous belt which is in transmission connection with the second transmission part

AI summary
Provided is a monorail independent dual-slider synchronous belt sliding table module component with a compact structure, which includes a sliding table base module, a sliding table module, a first driving end module and a second driving end module. A first slide rail and a second slide rail are spaced from each other to form a transmission groove. A first slider is provided with a first transmission part corresponding to the transmission groove, a second slider is convexly provided with a second transmission part corresponding to the transmission groove, and the second transmission part is provided with an avoidance part which is in a same horizontal plane as the first transmission part. A first synchronous belt is arranged in an extension direction of the transmission groove, is in transmission connection with the first transmission part after passing through the avoidance part, and is sleeved outside the second synchronous belt.
