Silenced Guide Rail Bevelled Abutting End Noise Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing guide rails with a two-piece assembly of a guide rail body and a guide block generate abnormal noise due to a high-low level difference, causing collisions between the guide post and the assembled part when the guide post passes through, resulting in significant noise.
Innovation Solution
A silenced guide rail design featuring a guide rail body with a beam piece and a guide block connected via a docking strip, where the docking strip includes a bevelled abutting end that forms a slideway, reducing noise by shortening the length of the guide post's contact points and misaligning the bevels to prevent simultaneous collision.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a two-piece assembly of guide rail body and guide block is used, then the guide rail can be assembled from separate components, but a high-low level difference is created at the assembled part causing abnormal noise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-forming a bevelled abutting end on the guide block before assembly. This bevelled surface is prepared in advance to ensure that when the guide post passes through the connection between guide rail body and guide block, it follows the inclined surface rather than creating a sudden high-low level difference, thereby preventing collision noise while maintaining the two-piece assembly structure
2Ease of operation
If the guide post passes through the high-low level difference at the assembled part, then the guide post can move through the connection, but collision between the guide post and assembled part generates large volume noise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the curvature principle by introducing a bevelled (inclined) surface at the abutting end of the guide block. This inclined surface creates a smooth transition path for the guide post, replacing the abrupt high-low level difference with a gradual slope, allowing the guide post to pass through the connection without sudden collision, thereby reducing noise while maintaining movement functionality

AI summary
A silenced guide rail includes a guide rail body, a guide block, and a slideway. The guide rail body includes a beam piece, and the beam piece includes an abutting end. The guide block is connected to one end of the guide rail body, and the guide block includes a docking strip. The docking strip includes a corresponding abutting end corresponding to the abutting end. The abutting end includes a short side and a bevel. A shape of the corresponding abutting end corresponds to a shape formed by the short side and the bevel. The slideway is formed on the beam piece and the docking strip. Therefore, the present disclosure reduces an abnormal noise generated when a guide post passes through a connection between the guide rail body and the guide block, and an effect of eliminating all or most of the abnormal noise may be achieved.
