具滾動體保持器之滑塊Slider with rolling body retainer

  本創作為一種線性滑軌之配件,尤指一種具滾動體保持器之滑塊。
This creation is an accessory for linear slides, especially a slider with a rolling body holder.

  美國專利號碼6158890之第二圖與第三圖係揭露一種用於滑塊與軌條組設之球保持器1,其中,該球保持器1是由一材質為彈性體的長軸2與在長軸的軸方向上之複數個圓弧面3所構成,該圓弧面3用以避免當滑塊進入或退出軌條時,滾動球掉落滑塊之情形發生,但其該保持器1之缺點為當滑塊組設進入或退出軌條時,並無法支撐滑塊之重量,當遇到重量較重的滑塊時,就必須藉由兩個人合力才能完成組裝作業,因此需花費較大的人力來搬運滑塊,也耗費組裝之時間。
  為解決前述習知技術的問題,業界又開發出如圖一的保持器3,該保持器3之軸方向設有複數個保持面31以利保持滑塊2中的滾動體(未顯示),該保持器3為塑膠材質,乃可利用射出之方式而一體成形,該保持器3之保持面31係與該軌條1之滾動面11銜接,於組裝時,該保持器3係放置於平台上,並藉由該保持面31與滾動面11銜接的特性,使滑塊2能輕易的推進軌條1上,且該保持器3可承受滑塊2重量,所以,裝配人員進行裝配時相當省力,但其問題點為:
1.該保持器因一體成形而無法拆解,導致將會佔相當大的儲存空間,且於出貨包裝時,提高其包裝成本。
2.該保持器為一體式射出,因此當所需之保持器尺寸較大時,其開模之模具亦需相當龐大,而導致耗費物料與提高開模成本。
  基於上述問題點,該習知技術仍有待改善之空間。
The second and third figures of U.S. Patent No. 6,158,890 disclose a ball holder 1 for a slider and rail assembly, wherein the ball holder 1 is made of a long shaft 2 made of an elastomer. a plurality of circular arc faces 3 in the axial direction of the long axis, which are used to prevent the rolling ball from falling off the slider when the slider enters or exits the rail, but the retainer 1 The disadvantage is that when the slider assembly enters or exits the rail, the weight of the slider cannot be supported. When a heavy weight slider is encountered, the assembly work must be completed by two people, so it takes Larger manpower to carry the sliders also takes time to assemble.
In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the industry has developed a retainer 3 as shown in FIG. 1. The retainer 3 is provided with a plurality of retaining faces 31 in the axial direction to facilitate the rolling elements (not shown) in the slider 2. The holder 3 is made of a plastic material and can be integrally formed by means of injection. The holding surface 31 of the holder 3 is engaged with the rolling surface 11 of the rail 1 . When assembled, the holder 3 is placed on the platform. Up, and by the characteristic that the holding surface 31 is engaged with the rolling surface 11, the slider 2 can be easily pushed onto the rail 1, and the holder 3 can bear the weight of the slider 2, so the assembler performs the assembly quite well. Labor saving, but the problem is:
1. The retainer cannot be disassembled due to integral forming, resulting in a considerable storage space and increased packaging cost when shipping the package.
2. The retainer is integrally fired, so when the required retainer size is large, the mold for opening the mold also needs to be quite large, resulting in costly materials and increased mold opening costs.
Based on the above problems, the prior art still has room for improvement.

  基於上述習知技術之問題點,本發明人經過研究改良後,終有確能達成以下發明之目的之發明誕生。
  即,本發明首要目的在於,研發一種能支撐滑塊重量,且體積輕巧的保持器。
  為達上述之目的,本發明係為一種具滾動體保持器之滑塊,係包含:
  一滑塊,其設有ㄧ凹槽,於該凹槽兩側係分別設有滾動溝,該滾動溝係設置複數個滾動體;
  一保持器,具有一本體,該本體係朝一方向延伸為長條狀之構型,定義該延伸方向為軸方向,該本體於軸方向兩側係分別設有保持面,該保持面係與該滾動溝相對設置,且該保持面係與該滾動體接觸,該本體於軸方向兩端部分別設有一支撐腳及固定部,該支撐腳係藉由一連接部與該本體連接,使該支撐腳能任意翻轉一角度,該支撐腳設有一定位部,該定位部係與該固定部配合,使該支撐腳定位於一角度。
  為了更進一步瞭解本發明之特徵及技術內容,請參閱以下有關本發明之實施方式說明及圖式,然而此實施方式及圖式僅供說明及參考用,而非用以對本發明做任何限制者。

Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the holder 1 of the present invention has a body 10 which is extended into a long strip shape in one direction, and defines the extending direction. In the axial direction X, the main body 10 is respectively provided with a holding surface 11 on both sides of the axial direction X. The support body 10 is respectively provided with a supporting leg 12, a fixing portion 15 and a receiving hole 13 at both ends of the axial direction X. The foot 12 is connected to the body 10 by a connecting portion 14 , so that the supporting leg 12 can be flipped at an angle. The supporting leg 12 is provided with a positioning portion 16 and a supporting portion 17 , and the positioning portion 16 cooperates with the fixing portion 15 . The supporting leg 12 is positioned at an angle R, and the supporting portion 17 is used for contacting with a plane (such as a plane of the worktable or a plane for locking the rail of the machine rail, etc.) to make the body of the holder 1 10 maintaining a distance from the plane in contact with the supporting leg 12; the receiving hole 13 is provided to receive the supporting leg 12 to reduce the overall volume of the retainer 3, and the retainer 3 is required to stand if necessary The support leg 12 is turned over by an angle R so that the positioning portion 16 is engaged with the fixing portion 15 to position the supporting leg 12 at the angle R, and the positioning portion 16 and the fixing portion 15 can be a concave portion. The convex portion or the magnetic force is mutually attracted. In the embodiment, the fixing portion 15 is a groove, and the positioning portion 16 is a protrusion, and the protrusion is embedded in the groove.
Please refer to FIG. 5A, B, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 for illustrating the type of the retainer of the present invention in use. The sliders 3 assembled with the holder 1 are all single sliders 3, that is, the user simply buys the slider 3 to replace the new one or increase the number of the sliders 3 of the rail 2, and the common slider 3 includes: a metal body 33, a return end cover 34, and a plurality of rolling elements 4, etc., the body 33 is provided with a groove 31, and a rolling groove 32 is respectively disposed on both sides of the groove 31, and the rolling groove 32 is provided. For the rolling elements 4, when the holder 1 is sleeved on the slider 3, the holding surface 11 is disposed opposite to the rolling groove 32 (as shown in FIG. 7), and the holding surface 11 is The rolling element contacts 4 (as shown in FIG. 7) to keep the rolling body 4 from falling; however, the retaining surface 11 of the retainer 1 of some types only prevents (blocks) the rolling element 4 from falling, so The holding surface 11 and the rolling elements 4 do not need to be in contact, and whether the holding surface 11 of the holder 1 of the present invention is in contact with the rolling elements 4 is not the focus of the present invention.
When the slider 3 is to be attached to the rail 2, first, the two supporting legs 12 of the holder 1 of the slider 3 are turned over by an angle, so that the positioning portion 16 is engaged with the fixing portion 15 so that The support leg 12 is positioned at an angle, and the support portion 17 of the support leg 12 is in contact with a plane to support the weight of the slider 3 as a whole, and further, the retaining surface 11 of the retainer 1 and the rail The rolling surface 21 of the 2 is connected (as shown in FIG. 5A), and then the user can push the slider 3 into the rail 2 by simply pushing the slider 3 (as shown in FIG. 5B). .
In order to clearly illustrate the implementation features of the present invention, the following description of the preferred and practical aspects of the present invention is as follows:
Since the retainer of the present invention is mounted on the slider, the overall volume can be greatly reduced as compared with the conventional one, so that the packaging time and the use of the packaging material can be shortened.
The support leg of the retainer of the present invention is composed of two separate components, which is integrated with the prior art, so that the material used in the retainer of the present invention is relatively economical, and the manufacturing cost is low.
In view of the above, the "industrial availability" of the present invention should be unquestionable. In addition, the feature technology disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention has not been seen in publications before the application, nor has it been disclosed. The use of not only has the fact that the effect is improved as described above, but also has an additional effect that cannot be neglected. Therefore, the "novelty" and "progressiveness" of the present invention are in compliance with the patent regulations, and the application for the invention patent is filed according to law. Please give us a review and grant a patent as soon as possible.
The above description of the embodiments is intended to be illustrative of the invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
