On the other hand, above-mentioned moving block 20 comprises that the base portion 22 of attachment face 21 of the movable body that has worktable etc. is with relative with the bi-side of above-mentioned rail track 10 and from the above-mentioned base portion 22 outstanding a pair of skirt sections 23,23 that are provided with, form the roughly section of saddle as a whole.Become the accepting groove of the loosening setting-in in top of rail track 10 between a pair of skirt section 23,23, the base portion 22 of moving block 20 and skirt section 23 are relative with rail track 10 in the accepting groove across small gap.On above-mentioned base portion 22, be formed for the fixedly screw tap hole 24 of movable body, be connected to above-mentioned screw tap hole 24, movable body is fixed on the moving block 20 by plugging in the fixing bolt that leads at movable body.In addition, below each skirt section 23, be provided with the side sealing 25 that seals the gap of moving block 20 and rail track 10 along the length direction of this rail track 10.
On each skirt section 23 of moving block 20, at the fixed-site ball-recirculation plate 30 relative with the side of rail track 10.The section that this ball-recirculation plate 30 and length direction are vertical becomes general triangular, and is chimeric with the mounting groove 26 that forms on the skirt section 23 of moving block 20.As shown in Figures 3 and 4, on ball-recirculation plate 30, form the track groove 31 of accommodating a plurality of balls 2 in the position relative with the side of rail track 10.This track groove 31 keeps the relative nothing carrying straight-line groove 33 of groove 14 by the carrying straight-line groove 32 relative with the ball rolling groove 13 of rail track 10, with the ball of rail track 10 and the end a pair of direction conversion groove 34,34 connected to one another that makes these carrying straight-line grooves 32 and do not have a carrying straight-line groove 33 constitutes.
Roll by ball 2 bearing load limit, limit between the carrying straight-line groove 32 of the ball rolling groove 13 of rail track 10 and ball-recirculation plate 30, this ball-recirculation plate 30 is pressed in the mounting groove 26 of rail track 10 lateral movement pieces 20, thus, ball-recirculation plate 30 will be in skirt section 23 be maintained at mounting groove 26.In addition, as shown in Figure 1, on former and later two end faces of the movement direction of moving block 20, fixed stop parts 40,40 end ball-recirculation plate 30 moving to length direction by these stop components 40,40 cards.This stop component has the end sealed member 41 of rubber system, and this end sealed member 41 can seal the gap of rail track and moving block.That is, 30 of above-mentioned ball-recirculation plates relatively move the mounting groove 26 of piece 20 carry out chimeric, when moving block 20 when rail track 10 is deviate from, just can pull down ball-recirculation plate 30 from moving block 20 at an easy rate.
In addition, because ball-recirculation plate 30 its section as mentioned above forms general triangular, so for such ball-recirculation plate 30, when effect with it during to the power that pushes in the skirt section 23 of moving block 20, ball-recirculation plate 30 is positioned in the accepting groove 26 in skirt section 23 about the short transverse (above-below direction of paper) of rail track 10, as a result, obtain the location about these short transverse moving block 20 relative orbit guide rails 10.
As shown in Figure 5, the carrying straight-line groove 32 in the ball rolling groove 13 of above-mentioned rail track 10 and the track groove relative 31 with it, its section forms Goethe's formula cusped arch shape, ball 2 with respect to these grooves with 2 contacts.Ball 2 and ball rolling groove 13 or with carrying straight-line groove 32 contact direction each 45 degree that tilt up and down of Normal direction (left and right directions of Fig. 5) with respect to the side of rail track 10, can carry all loads beyond piece 20 its movement directions of effect that relatively move.Promptly, the ball rolling groove 13 by rail track 10 and the carrying straight-line groove 32 of ball-recirculation plate 30 are in opposite directions, form the carrying rolling path of ball 2, roll in this carrying rolling path by ball 2, the moving block 20 of maintenance ball-recirculation plate 30 can be along rail track 10 to-and-fro motion freely.
On the other hand, the ball of the nothing of ball-recirculation plate 30 carrying ball grooves 33 and rail track 10 keeps groove 14 its sections also to form Goethe's formula cusped arch shape.The ball of relative rail track 10 sides keeps the distance that the groove 14 and the nothing of moving block 20 sides are carried straight-line groove 33 mutually, be set at bigger than the diameter that is housed in the ball 2 in the track groove 31, the small gap of generation between ball 2 and rail track 10, ball 2 and moving block 20.Thereby the ball that ball 2 is affiliated at rail track 10 keeps on the groove 14, rolls with no loaded state in the nothing carrying straight-line groove 33 of moving block 20, and thus, ball 2 can remain on not to be had in the carrying straight-line groove 33.That is, the nothing carrying straight-line groove 33 by making ball-recirculation plate 30 and the ball grooves 14 of rail track 10 relative, the nothing that forms ball 2 is carried the rolling path.
In addition, ball 2 forms with no loaded state in the inside of above-mentioned direction conversion groove 34 and rolls.For the ball 2 that rolls on the ball rolling groove 13 inner edge bearing load limits of rail track 10 is imported direction conversion groove 34, this direction conversion groove 34 deepens gradually from the joint with carrying straight-line groove 32, and is the darkest at the position relative with the par 15 of rail track 10.Afterwards, along with not shoaling gradually, be connected with nothing carrying straight-line groove 33 near there being carrying straight-line groove 33.
If moving block 20 is moved along rail track 10, then be clamped in ball 2 between the carrying straight-line groove 32 of the ball rolling groove 13 of rail track 10 and moving block 20, the i.e. ball 2 of bearing load in carrying rolling path, mobile in carrying straight-line groove 32 with moving block 20 with respect to half the speed of the travelling speed V of rail track 10.If the ball 2 that rolls in carrying straight-line groove 32 arrives the connection part of carrying straight-line groove 32 and direction conversion groove 34, because the degree of depth of this carrying straight-line groove deepens gradually, therefore little by little load is released.The ball 2 that obtains discharging from load is promoted by follow-up ball 2, and advancing in the ball rolling groove 13 at rail track 10 under this state, but because direction conversion groove 34 makes the side of these ball 2 deflection ball rolling grooves 13, thereby, this ball 2 is promoted to the par 15 of rail track 10 in the mode of climbing in ball rolling groove 13, be housed in fully in the direction conversion groove 34 of moving block 20.
Because direction conversion groove 34 has roughly semicircular track, so the ball 2 that is housed in the direction conversion groove 34 reverses its rotating direction, the ball that enters by rail track 10 keeps the groove 14 and the nothing of moving block 20 to carry in the straight-line groove 33 relative formed nothing carrying rolling paths.At this moment, ball 2 enters in the mode that keeps at the ball of rail track 10 in the groove 14 climbing under side direction does not have carrying rolling path.As mentioned above, because it is bigger slightly than the diameter of ball 2 that the ball of rail track 10 keeps the groove 14 and the distance setting of the nothing carrying straight-line groove 33 of moving block 20, thereby ball 2 do not become no loaded state in having carrying rolling path, do not advance in having carrying rolling path in the mode that is promoted by follow-up ball 2.
In addition, the ball 2 of in not having carrying rolling path, advancing, if arrive the connection part that does not have carrying straight-line groove 33 and direction conversion groove 34, then direction conversion groove 34 makes the ball of rail track 10 keep the ball 2 in the groove 14 to be partial to pars 15, therefore, this ball 2 rises to the par 15 of rail track 10 in the mode of climbing on keeping groove 14 at ball, is housed in fully in the direction conversion groove 34 of moving block 20.In addition, the balls 2 that are housed in the direction conversion groove 34 reverse its rotating direction once more, enter in the carrying straight-line groove 32 relative formed carrying rolling paths by the ball rolling groove 13 of rail track 10 and moving block 20.At this moment, ball 2 enters carrying rolling path in the mode of climbing from the side downwards the ball rolling groove 13 of rail track 10, when the degree of depth of this carrying straight-line groove when the connection part of direction conversion groove 34 and carrying straight-line groove 32 shoals gradually, from of the loaded state transfer of no loaded state to load.
Ball 2 circulation in the track groove 31 of ball-recirculation plate 30 is in this wise accompanied therewith, and moving block 20 can move without interruption continuously along rail track 10.
In the rolling guide device of such present embodiment, owing to relatively ball-recirculation plate 30 is installed at the inner side surface in the skirt section 23 of the moving block 20 relative with the formation face of ball rolling groove 13 in the rail track 10, be used in the Infinite Cyclic road that the track groove 31 that forms on this ball-recirculation plate 30 forms ball 2, therefore, the structure of moving block 20 is extremely simple.Because track groove 31 is opened to the side of rail track 10, so can form at an easy rate by ball-recirculation plate 30 being carried out cutting etc., at this moment, can precision adjust carrying straight-line groove 32 well, not have the degree of depth of carrying straight-line groove 33 and direction conversion groove 34 by the digital control of working machine.In addition, adding man-hour, the side of the piece 20 that can relatively move forms in an operation and resembles a track groove 31 of being write as.
In addition, because comprising the track groove 31 that carries straight-line groove 32 forms on ball-recirculation plate 30, so if ball-recirculation plate 30 is implemented Quenching Treatment, just needn't carry out Quenching Treatment to moving block 20, such moving block 20 can be used relatively more cheap material formation such as low carbon steel (for example SS41).In addition, by using such material also can easily carry out movable body the relatively move processing of attachment face 21 of piece 20 or the processing in screw tap hole 24.And the material of moving block 20 and ball-recirculation plate 30 can be according to the purposes independent assortment of the rolling guide device of assembling.
