Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a linear guide device in which a track rail and a slide member are relatively movably engaged via a rolling element such as a ball or a roller, and particularly applies lubricating oil to a surface of the track rail. The present invention relates to a lubricating oil supply member and a linear guide device using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as this type of linear guide device, a track rail provided on a fixed portion such as a bed or a saddle and formed with a ball rolling groove along a longitudinal direction, and a large number of balls A slide member having a load rolling groove opposed to the rolling groove of the track rail and having an infinite circulation path for balls rolling in the load rolling groove, and a table with infinite circulation of the ball. There is known a configuration in which a slide member supporting a movable body such as the one described above continuously linearly moves along a track rail. This type of linear guide device is mainly used for a linear guide portion of a machine tool, a transfer device, or the like.
[0003]
In using such a linear guide device, wear of the ball itself and wear of the rolling groove of the track rail or the load rolling groove of the slide member on which the ball rolls are suppressed, and the movement of the slide member with high precision is suppressed. From the viewpoint of maintaining for a long time, it is necessary to appropriately lubricate such balls and the above-mentioned rolling grooves, etc. according to the usage conditions.Conventionally, apply lubricating oil to the ball rolling grooves of the track rail in accordance with the slide movement A lubricating oil supply device has been proposed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-184683). The device disclosed in the publication includes an application body that applies lubricating oil to a track rail, an occlusion body that absorbs and holds the lubricating oil and supplies lubricating oil to the application body, An oil amount adjusting plate for controlling the amount of lubricating oil supplied from the oil to the applying body, and a cartridge main body which accommodates the applying body, the occlusion body and the oil amount adjusting plate and is mounted on the slide table. By mounting this on the front and rear end surfaces in the moving direction of the slide member, the lubricating oil oozing out of the application body is applied to the surface of the track rail as the slide member moves, and the lubricating oil is applied to the rolling grooves and balls. Is supplied. In addition, in this device, the lubricating oil held in the occlusion body is supplied to the application body by the oil amount adjustment plate in a substantially constant amount, so that the minimum necessary amount of lubrication oil can be stably applied to the track rail for a long period of time. It has the advantage that it can be done.
[0004]
Since the lubricating oil supply device consumes a small amount of the lubricating oil stored in the above-mentioned occlusion body, when the lubricating oil of the occlusion body is completely consumed, it is necessary to replace the lubricating oil supply device. However, this type of lubricating oil supply device has a function of applying lubricating oil to the surface of the track rail, and has a cross section substantially the same as that of the slide member and is engaged with the track rail. When the device is combined with a track rail, it is impossible to assemble the device from a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the track rail due to the shape of the lubricating oil supply device. Still, when one slide member is combined with one track rail, the lubricant supply device is inserted into the track rail from both ends of the track rail, and the lubricant supply device is mounted on the slide member. It is possible. However, when two or more slide members are combined with one track rail, the slide members are not removed from the track rail at a position between a pair of slide members adjacent to each other. In addition, it is impossible to detach only the lubricating oil supply member.
[0005]
If the maintenance time of the mechanical equipment mounted on the linear guide device and the replacement time of the lubricant supply device match, it is not possible to replace the lubricant supply device by removing the slide member from the track rail. However, depending on the magnitude of the load acting on the slide member, the travel distance of the slide member with respect to the track rail, and the traveling speed, the amount of lubricating oil consumed in the lubricating oil supply device is significantly different, and the lubricating oil in the occlusion body is exhausted. It is extremely difficult to match the timing with the maintenance timing of machinery and equipment.
[0006]
For this reason, in the lubricating oil supply device disclosed in JP-A-2000-97234, the casing of the lubricating oil supply device is divided into a pair of casing halves, and each casing half is connected by a hinge portion. The lubricating oil supply device itself is configured to be freely expandable around the hinge portion, so that the lubricating oil supply device can be attached to and detached from the track rail without passing through the end of the track rail.
[0007]
However, since the movable body is fixed to the slide member, if the pair of casing halves is opened to attach and detach the lubricating oil supply device, the casing half is located between the upper surface of the track rail and the movable body. A large space that allows the body to expand is required, and there is an inconvenience that the mounting position of the movable body with respect to a fixed portion such as a bed is increased.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and the object thereof is that even when the linear guide device is used, the exchange can be easily performed. A lubricating oil supply device which can be additionally attached to an existing linear guide device later, and which does not require a change in the mounting structure of a movable body such as a table on a slide member, and a linear guide device used therefor. To provide.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a lubricating oil supply device of the present invention comprises a plurality of lubricating cartridges for holding lubricating oil and applying the same to the track rail, and a lubricating cartridge fixed to the slide member and The lubricating cartridge is configured to be detachable from the holder, and in a state where all the lubricating cartridges are mounted on the holder, these lubricating cartridges are positioned with respect to the track rail and the lubricating cartridges are positioned. It is configured to hold the track rail.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a lubricating oil supply device of the present invention and a linear guide device using the same will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 and 2 are a side view and an exploded perspective view showing an example in which a lubricating oil supply device is mounted on a linear guide device. This linear guide device engages with a track rail (track axis) 1 on which a rolling surface 11 of a ball is formed along a longitudinal direction and a number of balls 3 as rolling elements, and engages with the track rail 1. A slide member 2 having an infinite circulation path for the ball therein, and mounted on both front and rear end faces in the movement direction of the slide member 2, and the surface of the track rail 1 is lubricated with the movement of the slide member 2. And an end seal 5 as a seal member provided with a seal lip portion 51 provided in close contact with the track rail 1 and disposed outside the lubricating oil supply member 4. The slide member 2 reciprocates on the track rail 1 as the ball 3 circulates.
[0011]
The sliding member 2 has a mounting surface 21 for a mechanical device such as a table, and has a ball return hole 22 for circulating the ball 3 and a load ball rolling surface 20 corresponding to the ball rolling surface 11 of the track rail 1. The block main body 23 includes a substantially saddle-shaped block main body 23 and a pair of end plates 24 fixed to both front and rear end surfaces of the block main body 23. The end plate 24 scoops up the ball 3 from the ball rolling surface 11 of the track rail 1 and feeds the ball 3 into the ball returning hole 22 of the block main body 23. The end plate 24 is fixed to the block main body 23 using mounting bolts 25 to form an infinite circulation path for the balls 3 in the slide member 2. It is supposed to be.
[0012]
Further, the end seal 5 is formed by vulcanizing and bonding a rubber layer to a thin plate-shaped cored bar 52 to form the seal lip portion 51. The end seal 5 and the lubricating oil supply member 4 are fixed to the fixing bolt 28. Thus, each of the end plates 24 is mounted on the slide member 2 from above.
[0013]
3 to 5 show a first embodiment of a lubricating oil supply member 4 to which the present invention is applied.
As shown in FIG. 3, the lubricating oil supply member 4 is fixed to the slide member 2 by a pair of lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b for applying lubricating oil to the ball rolling surface of the track rail and the fixing bolt 28. And a holder 6 for holding the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 4, each of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b has a cartridge body 42 and an application body that is housed in the cartridge body 42 and abuts on the track rail 1 to apply lubricating oil to the track rail 1. 43, an occlusion body 44 housed in the cartridge main body 42 together with the application body 43 and absorbing and holding the lubricating oil, and supplying the lubricating oil to the application body 43; And an oil amount adjusting plate 45 for isolating the oil amount adjusting plate 45 from the oil amount adjusting plate 45.
[0015]
The cartridge body 42 has side walls 47 erected along the contours of a pair of substrates 46, 46, and a recess surrounded by the substrates 46 and the side walls 47 accommodates the coating body 43 and the occluding body 44. A lubricating oil storage chamber 48 is provided. The lubricating cartridge 40b has exactly the same configuration as the lubricating cartridge 40a, but is formed in a mirror image relationship with the lubricating cartridge 40a.
[0016]
The coating body 43 is preferably made of a material in which the movement of the lubricating oil is easily caused by the capillary phenomenon, for example, a fiber entangled body such as felt having a low porosity so that the lubricating oil to be impregnated can be applied to the track rail 1 without stagnation. In this embodiment, wool felt having a porosity of 54% is used. In addition, a fiber entangled body such as felt having a high porosity is suitable for the storage body 44 so that a large amount of lubricating oil can be absorbed and held. In this embodiment, a wool felt mixed with rayon having a porosity of 81% is used.
[0017]
On the other hand, a concave groove 471 is formed in the side wall 47 of the cartridge main body 42 at a position facing the rolling surface 11 of the track rail 1, and the coating body 43 accommodated in the lubricating oil accommodating chamber 48 is formed from the concave groove 471. The application piece 430 that is a part of the projection protrudes and comes into contact with the rolling surface 11. That is, the lubricating oil supplied from the storage body 44 to the application body 43 is applied to the rolling surface 11 of the track rail 1 via the application piece 430. As shown in FIG. 5, each of the lubricating cartridges 40a, 40b corresponds to one side surface of the track rail 1, and two ball rolling surfaces 11, 11 are formed on one side surface of the track rail 1. Therefore, a pair of application pieces 430 protrude from each of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b corresponding to the rolling surfaces 11 and 11.
[0018]
Further, a step portion 49 is formed on the side wall 47 along the inner peripheral edge of the lubricating oil accommodating chamber 48, and the oil amount adjusting plate 43 is fitted into the step portion 49, and the coating body 43 and the occluding body 44 are isolated from each other. The oil amount adjusting plate 45 is formed of, for example, a stainless steel thin plate (0.1 to 0.2 mm in thickness in this embodiment), and supplies a lubricating oil impregnated in the occlusion body 44 to the application body 43. However, for example, only one hole is opened. The supply amount of the lubricating oil from the occlusion body 44 to the application body 43 is controlled according to the diameter and the number of the supply holes 45a, that is, the opening area thereof.
[0019]
In order to prepare the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b, first, the side wall 47 is bonded to one of the substrates 46 to form a recess which becomes the lubricating oil accommodating chamber 48, and the lubricating oil storage body 44 is placed in the recess. Thereafter, the oil amount adjusting plate 45 is fitted to the step portion 49 of the side wall 47 so as to cover the lubricating oil storage body 44. Next, the lubricating oil applying body 43 is overlaid on the oil amount adjusting plate 45, and finally, the remaining substrate 46 is joined to the side wall 47 by bonding. Thereby, the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b in which the lubricating oil applying body 43 and the lubricating oil occluding body 44 are accommodated are completed. Thereafter, each of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b is immersed in a lubricating oil in a vacuum atmosphere, and the lubricating oil is absorbed by the lubricating oil occluding body 44 and the lubricating oil applying body 43.
[0020]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the lubricating cartridge 40a may be configured such that the occlusion body 44 can be freely attached to and detached from the cartridge body 42. Since the occlusion body 44 itself is made by impregnating the felt with lubricating oil, it is possible to store only the occlusion body 44 in the case 30 and handle it as the lubricating oil tank 31. The cartridge main body 42 is formed with an opening 32 for taking in and out the lubricating oil tank 31. When the lubricating oil tank 31 is pushed into the lubricating oil storage chamber 48 of the cartridge main body 42 from the opening 32, the plate spring 50 The tank 31 is configured to be pressed toward the oil amount adjusting plate 45. A connection hole 33 is formed in the lubricating oil tank 31 at a position corresponding to the supply hole 45a of the oil amount adjusting plate 45. When the plate spring 50 urges the lubricating oil tank 31 from the back, the connection hole is formed. The lubricating oil 33 can be supplied from the occlusion body 44 to the application body 43 by closely overlapping the supply hole 33a with the supply hole 45a. When the lubricating oil tank 31 is removed from the cartridge main body 42, the lever 34 is operated to separate the lubricating oil tank 31 from the oil amount adjusting plate 45 against the leaf spring 50, and The lubricating oil tank 31 can be withdrawn.
[0021]
By adopting a configuration in which the lubricating oil occluding body can be freely attached to and detached from the cartridge main body, when the lubricating oil held in the occluding body is exhausted, the lubricating oil tank can be replaced. Can be replaced without removing the lubricating member from the holder, so that the lubricating oil supply member can be used for a long time.
[0022]
On the other hand, the holder 6 for holding the lubricating cartridges 40a, 40b is configured to sandwich the lubricating cartridges 40a, 40b between two holding plates 60 and hold them. Each of the holding plates 60 is connected to the other holding plate 60 by a flange portion 61 provided at a central position to be symmetrical left and right, and has a substantially H-shaped cross section when viewed from above. Each holding plate 60 has a recess 62 cut out in a rectangular shape, and the upper part of the track rail 1 is adapted to the recess 62. The opening width d of the recess 62 is set to be larger than the maximum width of the track rail 1, and the upper portion of the track rail 1 is loosely fitted into the recess 62.
[0023]
FIG. 7 shows a procedure for adapting the lubricating oil supply member 4 to the track rail 1. When the lubricating oil supply member 4 is adapted to the track rail 1, first, only the holder 6 is positioned with respect to the track rail 1 (the state of FIG. 7A). Since the opening width of the recess 62 cut out in the holder 6 is larger than the maximum width of the track rail 1, when the lubricating cartridges 40 a and 40 b are not mounted on the holder 6, the holder 6 is moved relative to the track rail 1. It can be adapted freely. That is, the upper part of the track rail 1 can be loosely fitted into the recess 62 of the holder 6 from the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, as indicated by the white arrow in FIG.
[0024]
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7B, the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b are mounted on the holder 6. The lubricating cartridges 40a, 40b are inserted between the two holding plates 60, 60 constituting the holder 6, and the interval between the holding plates 60, 60 is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the thickness of the lubricating cartridges 40a, 40b. The lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b into which the holding plates 60 and 60 are inserted are elastically held and held. Positioning projections 63 slightly protrude from both sides of each of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b in contact with the holding plate 60, and locking holes 64 corresponding to the positioning protrusions 63 are provided in the holding plate 60. When the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b are pushed to appropriate positions on the holder 6, the locking holes 64 of the holding plate 60 elastically fit into the positioning projections of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b, and the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b Is determined.
[0025]
When the pair of lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b are mounted on the holder 6 in this manner, in each of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b, the application piece 430 of the application body 43 comes into contact with the rolling surface 11 of the track rail 1, and FIG. As shown in (1), the track rail 1 is sandwiched between the pair of lubrication cartridges 40a and 40b from the left and right. Thus, the lubricating oil supply member 4 is completed, and the positioning of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b with respect to the track rail 1 and the positioning of the lubricating oil supply member 4 with respect to the track rail 1 are completed. In this state, all the coating pieces 430 provided in each of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b protrude from the recesses of the holder 6 toward the track rail, and come into contact with the ball rolling surface 11 of the track rail 1. I have. Therefore, the track rail 1 and the holder 6 cannot be separated from this state. Finally, the fixing bolt 28 is inserted into the through hole 65 of the lubricating oil supply member 4, and the fixing bolt 28 is fastened to the slide member 2, thereby completing the mounting of the lubricating oil supply member 4 on the slide member 2. I do.
[0026]
According to the lubricating oil supply member 4 of this embodiment, the holder 6 is adapted to the track rail 1 first, and the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b are mounted on the holder 6 later, whereby the shaft end of the track rail 1 is adjusted. The lubricating oil supply member 4 can be mounted on the end surface of the slide member 2 without any intervention, for example, such that two slide members 2 and 2 are assembled to a single-axis track rail 1. Even in this situation, the lubricating oil supply member 4 can be mounted on the front and rear end surfaces of the slide member 2 without removing the slide member 2 from the track rail 1.
[0027]
Further, since the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b can be mounted on the holder 6 from the side of the track rail 1, there is no large space between the track rail 1 and a movable body such as a table attached to the slide member 2. In both cases, the lubricating oil supply member 4 of the present embodiment can be attached to the slide member 2, and the height of the movable body with respect to a fixed portion such as a bed can be kept low. It is possible to reduce the acting inertial force and to construct a responsive linear guide portion.
[0028]
In the lubricating oil supply member 4 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the fixing bolt 28 for mounting the lubricating oil supply member 4 to the slide member 2 is not limited to the holder 6, but penetrates the lubrication cartridges 40a and 40b. The lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b are configured to penetrate the holes 66, but the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b can be attached and detached with the fixing bolts 28 inserted through the through holes 65 of the holder 6. The shape of 40b can be improved. Further, the pair of holding plates 60, 60 constituting the holder 6 do not necessarily have to have the recesses 62 which are loosely fitted in the upper half of the track rail 1, and the point is that the pair of lubricating cartridges 40a, 40b can be freely attached and detached. What is necessary is just to be able to hold | maintain.
[0029]
FIG. 8 shows another shape of the holder 6. The holder 6a does not have a recess corresponding to the upper half of the track rail 1, and therefore, the pair of holding plates 61 constituting the holder 6a have a simple rectangular shape. Therefore, the holder 6a does not need to be adapted to the track rail 1, and only the lubricating cartridges 40a, 40b are mounted from both sides of the track rail 1 to the holder 6a temporarily placed on the upper surface of the track rail 1, and the lubricating oil is used. When the supply member 4 is completed, the pair of lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b are positioned with the track rail 1 interposed therebetween as shown in FIG. Therefore, the lubricating oil supply member 4 can be attached to the slide member 2 already mounted on the track rail 1 very easily later.
[0030]
FIG. 9 shows a third embodiment of a lubricating oil supply member to which the present invention is applied.
Like the lubricating oil supply member 4 of the first embodiment, the lubricating oil supply member 7 of the third embodiment also includes a pair of lubricating cartridges 70a and 70b for applying lubricating oil to the track rail 1, and these lubricating cartridges 70a and 70b. And a holder 71 for holding the slide member 2 with respect to the slide member 2. Positioning pins 72 for holding the lubricating cartridges 70a and 70b are provided upright on the holder 71, and fixing holes 73 into which the positioning pins 72 fit are formed through the lubricating cartridges 70a and 70b. By fitting the positioning pins 72 into the fixing holes 73, the lubricating cartridges 70 a and 70 b are held by the holder 71 and positioned with respect to the track rail 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the lubricating cartridges 70a and 70b are mounted on the holder 71, the respective lubricating cartridges 70a and 70b are positioned with respect to the track rail 1 as shown in FIG. The application piece 430 provided in the cartridges 70a and 70b grows so as to contact the ball rolling surface 11 of the track rail 1.
[0031]
As in the first embodiment, the holder 71 has a recess 74 that fits loosely into the upper half of the track rail 1, and the width d of the recess is formed larger than the maximum width of the track rail 1. I have. Therefore, when the lubricating cartridges 70a and 70b are not mounted on the holder 71, the holder 71 can be freely adapted to the track rail 1. Therefore, if only the holder 71 is first adapted to the track rail 1 and the lubricating cartridges 70a and 70b are subsequently mounted to the holder 71, the lubricating oil supply can be performed without passing through the shaft end of the track rail 1. The member 7 can be fitted to the track rail 1 and fixed to the end face of the slide member 2.
[0032]
Although the through hole of the fixing bolt 28 is not shown in FIG. 9, the holder and the lubricating cartridge of the second embodiment can be fixed to the slide member by using the fixing bolt. The internal structure of the lubricating cartridge is the same as that of the lubricating cartridges 40a and 40b of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the lubricating oil supply device and the linear guide device using the same of the present invention, when the lubricating cartridge is separated from the holder, the holder can be freely adapted to the track rail. On the other hand, in a state where all the lubricating cartridges are mounted on the holder, these lubricating cartridges are positioned with respect to the track rail, so that the holder and the lubricating cartridge can be easily replaced by separating them from each other, Moreover, it is possible to perform the replacement without the shaft end of the track rail. Further, the slide member is already assembled to the track rail, and it can be additionally attached later to a linear guide device that cannot be separated.
