Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drawer slide with rails according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a drawer guide is used to pull out of the housing of a device or from the body of a piece of furniture whose pull-out parts.
  • a pull-out part can be, for example, a drawer or a storage level.
  • these pull-out parts in the case of refrigerators, for example, from Wännchen or Abstellebenen or in the case of ovens baking trays or baking trays.
  • pullout guides There are basically two embodiments of pullout guides known: those without intermediate rails and those with at least one intermediate rail.
  • the intermediate rails serve to extend the extension length.
  • the pullout guide comprises a guide rail and a track rail, wherein bearing means are provided between these two rails, which allow a displacement of the track rail along the guide rail.
  • the guide rail can be attached to the housing of the device or to the body of the piece of furniture.
  • the track can be attached to a pull-out part of the device or the piece of furniture.
  • the running rail is releasably connected to the pull-out part of the device or the piece of furniture, as in the case of a baking tray.
  • the drawer slide in addition to the guide rail and the track rail, may also include at least one intermediate rail disposed between the guide rail and the track rail.
  • the bearing means which allow a mutual displacement between adjacent rails are provided between the guide rail and the intermediate rail and between the intermediate rail and the running rail, so that both a displacement of the intermediate rail along the guide rail and a displacement of the running rail along the intermediate rail is possible.
  • the pullout guide has a plurality of intermediate rails, then the above-mentioned bearing means would each be provided between two adjacent intermediate rails, so that one of them is displaceable along the other.
  • round rolling elements in cross-section, such as e.g. Spheres, wheels, cylinders and generally rollers, even those which do not have a rectangular longitudinal section.
  • the use of balls is very common.
  • These rolling elements roll on respective raceways provided on the rails, and they are generally caged.
  • Pull-out guides especially telescopic slide guides with at least one intermediate rail, inherently have a radial play.
  • This radial clearance is created by a play between the rolling elements, in particular the balls, and the rolling element raceways, in particular the ball raceways, which are provided on the guide rail, the running rail and the possibly existing intermediate rails.
  • the degree of freedom resulting from the radial clearance allows the rolling elements, in particular the balls, to move somewhat transversely to the respective raceway.
  • the running rail and possibly existing or existing intermediate rails can thereby tilt transversely to the respective track.
  • the pull-out rails, ie the running rail and the intermediate rail or the intermediate rails thereby feel "wobbly" and "imprecise".
  • the pull-out rails are mounted one above the other, it may happen that not all rails tilt in the same way. As a result, the front caps, which may be located on the rails, are crooked, pointing in particular in different directions. As a result, a disturbing visual impression is generated.
  • the cage must be displaceable, since it is necessary to bring it together with its rolling elements, in particular with the balls in the correct position. If one were to attach a large force, there would also be the danger that the cage (s) and / or the rolling elements, in particular the balls, would thereby be damaged.
  • a pull-out guide in which at least one first rolling element has a larger diameter than at least one second rolling element, wherein the modulus of elasticity of the first, larger rolling element is smaller than the modulus of elasticity of the second rolling element with the smaller diameter.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an improved pullout guide, the on the one hand reduces or eliminates the radial clearance and on the other hand, however, allows a displacement of the WälzMechlafige.
  • At least one of the rolling elements, each arranged between them has a diameter of its cross section which is larger than the diameter of the cross section of the remaining rolling elements, each between the same two adjacent rails are arranged.
  • the enlarged diameter is selected such that said at least one larger diameter rolling element is biased, in particular slightly biased, between the two adjacent rails between which it is disposed, and the remaining rolling elements are each disposed between the same two adjacent rails are instead built in with gameplay.
  • the larger diameter rolling element which is biased between the rails and therefore has no play, the remaining rolling elements have a game, in particular a slight game, so that they can be easily moved and / or can roll without obstruction.
  • the preloaded rolling element can no longer move transversely to the raceway, so that a mutual tilting of the rails is prevented.
  • the resistance of the rolling element with the enlarged diameter must be overcome, so that the radial clearance is removed by the inventive solution, on the other hand, a smooth sliding the cage is possible, which in turn allows a smooth movement of a rail along the other rail.
  • At least one ball of the balls arranged according to one or more rows of balls between the two rails has a larger diameter than the diameter of the remaining balls which are arranged between the two rails.
  • the enlarged diameter is chosen so that it is at least one ball between the two rails is biased, in particular slightly biased, and the remaining balls, which are arranged between the two rails, are instead installed with play. This allows a smooth movement of the running rail along the guide rail, in which case the ball with the enlarged diameter does not allow the running rail tilts relative to the guide rail.
  • an embodiment in addition to the guide rail and the running rail has an intermediate rail and conveniently provides as rolling elements balls. It is further provided according to the invention that at least one ball arranged according to one or more rows of balls between the guide rail and the intermediate rail balls and at least one ball of each arranged between the intermediate rail and the running rail balls have a larger diameter than the diameter of the other balls, respectively are arranged between the same two rails. The enlarged diameter is selected so that each of these at least two balls is biased between the two rails of the pair of adjacent rails between which it is disposed and the remaining balls arranged between the same two rails are instead installed with play ,
  • the diameter of the at least one larger diameter ball by 0.05 to 0.1 mm larger than the diameter of the other balls.
  • These values are particularly suitable for drawer slides intended for household electrical appliances.
  • diameter of the balls are common, which are in the range of 3 to 5 mm.
  • the above-mentioned diameter increase would be a percentage value of 1.2% to 2.5 % to the said diameter of 4 mm.
  • the rolling elements have the same deformability. In this way it can be ensured that the one or more rolling elements with the larger diameter, which are biased against the other rolling elements are not compressed by a load. This makes it possible to ensure that even with a given load, in particular in the usual load or the rolling elements loaded with the larger diameter and remain biased and remain the other rolling elements with play.
  • the deformability of the rolling elements can be understood as their modulus of elasticity.
  • the rolling elements are preferably made of metal. It is advantageous if all rolling elements are made of the same metal.
  • the rails have a high bending stiffness in the vertical direction.
  • the bending stiffness is in particular so high that the rails are not deformed by a predetermined load, in particular by the usual load or only deformed such that even with a load or the rolling elements loaded and biased with the larger diameter and the other rolling elements stay installed with game.
  • the rows of balls, each arranged between the two rails of each pair of pairs of adjacent rails, are arranged in Y-arrangement.
  • the at least one larger diameter ball is arranged in the middle ball row.
  • Such a drawer guide has known rails 1.2; 1,2,3, which are in a row one close to the other, and in cross-section round rolling elements 4,5 on.
