Definitions

  • the present invention concerns the technical sector relating technological products widely used in industrial designs, such as linear sliding units made of self-carrying profiles.
  • this invention refers to the technical sector of the manufacturing of profiles in aluminium inside which trolleys slide for moving other profiles connected to them.
  • compact assembling systems are used that, by means of suitable interfaces, permit the assembling in more units, either parallel, perpendicular or oblique, which however allow trolleys to slide into a profile on one, two, three or more axes.
  • the different tracks forming the profile permit the simultaneous internal insertion of transferring devices that allow suitable wheeled trolleys to move inside it.
  • suitable plates directly interface the engine-reducer on the profile, so making the system compact, self-carrying, suitable for several types of design applications, from the easiest one up to the most complex automation systems.
  • the sliding system generally consisting of a wheeled trolley where the device to move is attached, needs sliding tracks to be fixed, by means of screws or other, along this profile in aluminium. Said tracks are necessary because the direct sliding of the wheels in steel over the profile in aluminium would cause its wear and tear.
  • the present invention aims at eliminating the above-mentioned and other manufacturing and assembling problems, supplying a profile with tracks geometrically conceived for the immediate insertion of sliding wheels, of such a shape as to be able to support reinforced loads or however loads with any direction.
  • a system for making trolleys slide into profiles comprises:
  • the spaces (2A) are so realized as to have a front surface and two flaps by means of which the steel foil is locked inside and cannot escape.
  • said foil is inserted from one end of the profile (Fig. 5) and pushed into its space, while its two sides fit into the two flaps of the same space preventing its exit.
  • the profile realized for the execution of the above-mentioned system has a groove having at the top and bottom two further notches (2A), inside which the steel strips (2) are inserted or anyway applied as tracks for the sliding of the wheels or shaped bearings supporting the longitudinal sliding trolley.
  • the particularity of this invention is indeed the convenient shape of the inner sliding profile.
  • the rectangular steel foils (2) are four, two at the top and two at the bottom on the sliding track, in slightly angle couples so as to create a sliding groove for the wheels of the trolley.
  • every wheel of the trolley has on its external diameter, at the two ends, an angle notch (9) such as to suit to the shape and inclination of the foils making this part (9) of the wheels slide over the foils (2).
  • Two eccentric ferrules are used for the vertical clearance inside the track: they are turned out of the trolley during the process and let the inner couple of wheels to move in such a way as to get the precise contact on all the four sliding tracks.
  • This system thanks to its properties, considerably facilitates the assembling of these mechanical devices, largely used in industrial design, supplying a profile for the sliding of longitudinal carrying trolleys.
  • Said sliding is carried out by means of a sliding steel plate that can be simply and immediately inserted into the track thanks to their perfect dimension compatibility.
  • These tracks are realized with opposite angles that, together with the existing eccentric system to restore the clearance, make this device possible to be installed at any angle.
  • the wheels sliding on the trolley either fixed or mobile in vertical rotation by eccentric, have on their external diameters similar angle notches as the opposite ones on the steel tracks.
  • the sliding trolley (3) has a supporting profile (8) attached, which can hold three or more bearings (9), connected to the same sliding trolley (3), but placed perpendicularly to the main gearings (5) for the linear sliding of the trolley.
  • said supporting profile (8) is assembled to the main profile (1) by means of countersunk bolts, embedded in the groove of the same profile, which fit into suitable hammer nuts (11) inserted in the longitudinal tracks on the profile (1).
  • the bearings (9) are connected to the trolley (3) by means of pivots (10); by rotating the eccentric centre of the pivots during assembling, it's possible to restore the clearance between bearings and sliding tracks (2).
  • Said sliding tracks consist of steel strips like the ones used in the main profile and easy to insert thanks to the suitable opposite groove made inside the supporting profile.
  • This practical solution is particularly useful in the case the trolley must support, further than the normal radial dynamic and static loads, also possible transversal loads or twisting moments that would excessively charge the main sliding system.
  • This solution permits to use the same basis profile for axial sliding in absence of heavy transversal loads and, when necessary, to easily integrate it, by the simple and immediate assembling of a supporting profile in aluminium plate, capable of holding three or more consecutive bearings. It's possible to use the same sliding tracks, made of steel plate, which can be easily inserted into the profile, such as the assembling system of the main sliding tracks of the trolley. For this purpose, it's possible to use self-lubricated bearings of mass production, which does not need any further action.
  • a similar eccentric system is used for the restore of the clearance and the radial preload of the bearings, resulting in a reduced coefficient of friction in linear sliding.
  • an aluminium profile is also used with standard longitudinal tracks, for an easy and immediate assembling, by means of hammer nuts (or other locking systems), of any device needs to be moved, having the possibility of a universal assembling system, thanks to the free arrangement of the nuts along the spaces of the same trolley.
  • this system can automatically move, being connected to any actuator, possibly connected in its turn to a circuit having a programmed memory to enable the execution of different movements.
  • the profile can take any external shape, as long as the above-mentioned movement system remains unchanged and therefore protected.
  • This invention considerably reduces times and costs of assembling, as it does not need to support the steel sliding tracks by means of screws and suitable nuts, which are currently necessary but not functional.
  • This system can be applied to any type and size of self-carrying profile in aluminium.
