The invention relates to a linear slide detecting method and a detecting device thereof, in particular to a linear sliding rail life detecting method for detecting a simple harmonic movement of a guide rail on a fixedly arranged slider and a detecting device thereof.

According to the current life detection methods of linear slides, there are mainly two types, one is to increase the speed of the line rail operation and accelerate the line rail life test time; the other is to apply a high load on the slider to reduce the life of the line rail. Rated life, and the static safety factor of the rail can be changed by adjusting the load. The method of applying a high load on the slider has the advantage of accelerating the track life test time and the static safety factor of the adjustable track. However, there are two main ways to apply a load to the slider. One is to apply a fixed load to the slider, and the other is to install a device with adjustable output force above the slider (example: screw, oil pressure) The cylinder has the advantage of being able to adjust its load. However, this method needs to fix the adjustable load device on a sliding table which is parallel to the line rail, thereby improving the device cost and installation difficulty, and the maintenance is inconvenient. Moreover, the method of driving the wire rail mostly uses a linear transmission mechanism (such as a screw, a belt drive) and a motor to drive the slider. In this method, the length of the slide rail needs to be long enough to provide sufficient acceleration and deceleration distance for the motor, and The motor reduces its life by repeatedly reversing. Accordingly, the inventors have diligently studied and cooperated with the application of the theory, and proposed a present invention which is rational in design and effective in improving the above problems.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a linear slide life detecting method and a detecting device thereof, which are used for solving the life detecting method of a linear sliding rail in the prior art.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a linear slide life detecting device for testing a guide rail of a linear slide rail and a slider slidably disposed on the guide rail. The linear slide life detecting device comprises: a detecting stage, a roller and a driving module. The detecting stage is configured to fix the slider such that the rail is slidably disposed on the slider. The roller is disposed above the detection stage, the roller is pressed down against the guide rail, and the roller carries a predetermined load, and the predetermined load is applied to the guide rail through the roller. The drive module is mechanically connected to the guide rail so that the guide rail is between the slider and the roller for simple harmonic movement.

The beneficial effects of the present invention may be achieved by: "making a roller disposed above the slider downward against the guide rail, wherein the roller carries a predetermined load, and the predetermined load is applied to the guide rail through the roller" and "passes through a driving die The design of the group makes the guide rail move smoothly between the slider and the roller. This method has the advantage of not having a long test slide rail, and can greatly reduce the length of the machine, and only fix the slider on the inspection tool. The test can be started by fixing the front end of the slide rail to the transmission mechanism, which can achieve the effect of quickly changing the test object and quickly completing the linear slide life detection operation.

The driving unit 31 can be a DC motor, an AC motor, a stepping motor, etc., and can be selected according to requirements, and is not limited thereto. In addition, in practical applications, the driving module 30 may not be fixedly disposed on the detecting stage. 10, but a separate set of components. The turntable 33 is pivotally connected to the drive shaft 31 of the driving member 31, and the turntable 33 has a convex protrusion 331 with respect to the surface pivotally connected to the driving unit 31; of course, the driving unit 31 and the turntable 33 The connection relationship may also be interlocked with each other after the transmission of the gear set or the related member, and is not limited to the form in which the drive shaft 311 of the drive unit 31 is directly pivoted to the turntable 33.

The 331 of the aligning unit 34 corresponding to the turntable 33 has a guiding slot 341, and the guiding slot 341 is correspondingly sleeved on the 331. The appearance of the turntable 33, the bumps 331, the linking unit 34, and the guiding groove 341 is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawings of the embodiment, and can be changed according to actual needs. The rail fixing base 35 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the linking unit 34 opposite to the dial 33 for fixing one end of the rail L1 to be tested. In the actual application, the guiding groove 341 may have a rectangular appearance, and the short side thereof may be parallel to the long side of the guide rail L1 fixedly disposed in the rail fixing seat 35; that is, the rectangular guiding groove 341 may be It is arranged perpendicular to the guide rail L1.

As described above, as shown in FIG. 5, the slider L2 of the linear slide L to be tested is fixed. The slider holder 11 is disposed between the roller 21 and the slider L2, and the other end of the rail L1 is fixedly disposed in the rail fixing seat 35 of the driving module 30, and the rail is fixed. The seat 35 is fixedly disposed on the linking unit 34, and the guiding groove 341 of the linking unit 34 is sleeved in the protrusion 331 of the turntable 33, and the turntable 33 is driven by the driving unit 31. Therefore, when the driving unit 31 drives the turntable 33 to rotate, the guide rail L1 can linearly reciprocate between the slider L2 and the roller 21.

In detail, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6A, when the driving unit 31 drives the turntable 33 to rotate in the A direction in the drawing, the bump 331 of the turntable 33 will be pushed against the side wall of the guiding groove 341 of the linking unit 34. And the interlocking unit 34 is moved in the B direction in the figure, so that the rail fixing seat 35 fixed to the linking unit 34 moves the rail L1 in the C direction in the figure, and in the process of moving the rail L1, the roller 21 The home wheel rotates in the direction of D in the figure, and the roller 21 can continue to apply the predetermined load of the guide rail L1 during the rolling process, so that the linear slide rail L can perform the life detection of the simple harmonic motion under the load.

Referring to FIG. 6B, when the driving unit 31 continuously drives the turntable 33 to rotate in the A direction in the figure, the bump 331 of the turntable 33 will gradually be pushed against the left side wall of the guiding groove 341 (like FIG. 6A), and will be converted into a push guide. The right side wall of the groove 341 (as shown in FIG. 6B) moves the linking unit 34 in the B' direction (the opposite direction to the B direction in FIG. 6A) in the drawing, thereby causing the guide rail L1 to follow the C' direction in the drawing (FIG. 6A). Moving in the opposite direction of the C direction; that is, the driving unit 31 only needs to continuously rotate the driving dial 33 in the same direction, so that the guide rail L1 can continuously perform a simple harmonic motion, so that it can be solved in the prior art. The long slide rail can provide the motor with sufficient acceleration and deceleration distance, which causes the space occupied by the machine and the removal time of the slide rail is too long, and the motor reduces the life of the motor due to the reverse rotation. It is worth mentioning that, in practical applications, the load generating unit 24 and the driving module 30 can be electrically connected to an electronic control module (not shown), so that the electronic load control module can accurately control the predetermined load value. The rotation speed of the driving unit 31 and its operation time can further control the speed and the number of times the guide rail L1 linearly reciprocates.

As described above, the linear slide life detecting device of the present invention sandwiches the guide rail L1. Between the roller carrying the predetermined load and the slider L2 fixedly disposed on the detecting stage, and using the scotch yoke mechanism as the driving module, the driving unit can directly rotate in a single direction, and the guide rail L1 can be driven quickly. Linear reciprocating motion is performed on the slider L2, and each segment guide rail L1 is subjected to a predetermined load applied through the roller when passing over the slider L2, thereby achieving life detection of the simulated linear slide rail L under load. .

[Third embodiment]

Please refer to FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 together, which are schematic diagrams of a second embodiment of the linear slide life detecting device of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7 , the linear slide life detecting device 2 includes a detecting stage 10 , a load module 20 , a driving module 30 , and an upper and lower adjusting module 40 . The related components of the detecting stage 10, the load module 20 and the driving module 30 and their mutual actuation relationship are the same as those of the above embodiment, and will not be further described herein. The difference between the embodiment and the above embodiment is that the two lateral support frames 13 of the detection stage 10 can be respectively provided with a limit rail 131 which is parallel to the guide rail L1 disposed on the slider L2 and disposed in the lateral direction. A slidable limiting slider 132 is disposed on each of the limiting rails 131, and the limiting sliders 132 are fixedly disposed on the linking unit 34 relative to the locating unit 34. The other side of the rail mount 35 is provided. In other words, the interlocking unit 34 can be disposed with two limiting sliders 132 facing each other with respect to the other side on which the rail fixing seat 35 is disposed, and the limiting sliders 132 are correspondingly pivoted parallel to the guide rail L1. The limit rail 131 is disposed under the lateral support frame 13. Therefore, when the driving unit 31 drives the turntable 33 to rotate, and the bump 331 pushes against the interlocking unit 34, the limiting slider 132 of the linking unit 34 will move along the limiting rail 131, so that the linking unit 34 can only be parallel to The direction of the guide rail L1 is moved, thereby ensuring that the guide rail L1 can perform a simple harmonic movement.

The embodiment is different from the above embodiment in that the detecting stage 10 is further provided with an upper and lower adjusting module 40, which comprises: a lower supporting plate 41, an upper supporting plate 42, a screw 43 and a The operating member 44 is adjusted. The lower support plate 41 is fixedly disposed on the plurality of lateral support frames 13 of the detection stage 10. The upper support plate 42 is disposed on the load die The positioning member 23 of the group 20 is slidably disposed on the plurality of vertical support frames 12. Both ends of the screw 43 are fixedly disposed on the lower support plate 41 and the upper support plate 42, respectively, and a part of the screw 43 is exposed to the upper support plate 42 to connect the adjustment operating member 44. Therefore, the user can adjust the operating member 44 to push the upper supporting plate 42 against the positioning member 23 of the load module 20, thereby moving the load module 20 along the plurality of vertical support frames 12 of the detecting stage 10 to the slider. The fixing seat 11 moves in the direction to adjust the distance between the roller 21 of the load module 20 and the guide rail L1. In other words, when the user wants to set the guide rail L1 on the slider L2, the distance between the roller 21 and the slider holder 11 can be adjusted through the upper and lower adjustment modules 40 to facilitate the setting of the guide rail L1, and the guide rail L1. After being disposed on the slider L2, the upper and lower adjustment modules 40 can be further passed to contact the roller 21 with the surface of the guide rail L1.

The opposite sides of the surface have a limiting slot 141, and the central axis of each limiting slot 141 is perpendicular to the surface of the detecting stage 10 on which the slider holder 11 is placed; the roller frame 22 of the load module 20 is correspondingly disposed by two The limiting slots 141 form an accommodating space, so that the roller 21 can move vertically up and down the slider holder 11 along the limiting slot 141.

Specifically, in the actual application, after the distance between the roller 21 and the slider holder 11 is adjusted by the adjustment module, when the roller 21 comes into contact with the guide rail L1 again, the contact position may not be originally fixed in the slider. Above the seat 11; or alternatively, when the roller 21 is in contact with the guide rail L1 after adjusting the predetermined load, the above-mentioned predetermined position may be deviated. The limiting slot 141 provided in this embodiment can effectively avoid the problem that the position of the roller 21 contacting the guide rail L1 is incorrect after the roller 21 is adjusted.

As described above, the linear slide life detecting device of the embodiment can not only make the linear slide rail L quickly complete the life test under the load, but also adjust the upper and lower adjustment modules and the limit seat to adjust. The vertical distance between the roller and the slider mount, Thereby, the placement and removal of the guide rail L1 can be facilitated. Moreover, through the design of the limit rail parallel to the guide rail L1, the moving direction of the linkage unit of the scotch yoke mechanism can be effectively limited to ensure the simple harmonic movement of the guide rail L1 on the slider L2.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent technical changes made by using the present specification and the contents of the drawings are included in the protection scope of the present invention. .
