Built-in dust-proof structure of sliding rail
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the field of guide equipment, in particular to a sliding rail built-in dustproof structure.
Background
The linear motion guide device comprises a linear slide rail, a slide seat arranged on the linear slide rail, end covers fixed at two ends of the slide seat and rolling elements (such as balls), wherein a rolling element loading passage and a ball return passage are arranged in the slide seat, and the rolling element loading passage and the rolling element return passage are connected through a rolling element transition passage arranged on the end covers, so that a rolling element circulating passage is formed. The rolling elements move in the rolling element circulation passage, and the sliding seat is kept in contact with the linear sliding rail through the rolling elements, so that the friction resistance between the sliding seat and the linear sliding rail is reduced.
In order to prolong the service life of the rolling element and the linear slide rail, in the using process of the linear motion guiding device, foreign matters or impurities cannot enter the area where the rolling element is located in the moving process of the sliding seat, so that the sliding seat needs to be sealed and dustproof. The dust-proof structure is usually formed by fixedly connecting a retainer to the inner side wall of the sliding seat, wherein the retainer is kept in contact with the side wall of the sliding rail during the sliding seat moves along the sliding rail. The retainers are generally two in number and are respectively arranged on two opposite peripheral side walls of the slide rail, which are defined as slide side walls, with which the retainers are held in contact.
The sliding rail is usually locked on the top surface of a base, the sliding seat moves along the sliding rail, and a gap is reserved between the bottom surface of the sliding seat and the top surface of the base; the sliding side wall is generally perpendicular to the top surface of the base; foreign matter is generally accumulated on the top surface of the base opposite to the bottom surface of the sliding seat, the foreign matter is gradually accumulated upwards on the top surface of the base, and a gap between the retainer and the sliding side wall is defined as a first gap which is parallel to the accumulation direction of the foreign matter, so that the foreign matter is easily entered into the rolling element circulation passage along the first gap, thereby causing damage to the rolling element during use.
Some bases are provided with one to two bosses, the sliding side walls of the sliding rails are respectively abutted against the side walls of the bosses, gaps are reserved between the top surfaces of the bosses and the bottom surfaces of the sliding seats, foreign matters are usually accumulated on the top surfaces of the bosses, and the foreign matters are gradually accumulated upwards on the top surfaces of the bosses. The first gap is parallel to the direction of the accumulation of the foreign matters, and the foreign matters are easy to enter the rolling element circulation passage along the first gap, so that the rolling elements are damaged in the using process.
