Description

sliding arm mechanism

This creation is related to the sliding arm mechanism, especially the sliding arm mechanism that can freely choose the installation method.

By the way, doors have been an indispensable element since humans began to develop architecture. From the earliest wooden gates, stone gates to large city gates, almost all need to be opened or closed by humans. With the advancement of technology and the development of digitization, many tools that traditionally need to be used by humans have been replaced by computer control. The emergence of automatic doors is one of the products. The advantage of the automatic door is that the opening and closing of the automatic door can be automatically controlled only through the control device without human operation, which is relatively convenient. Among them, the common automatic doors include translation type, casement type, folding type and so on.

Since the slide rail set usually has pre-drilled mounting holes in the horizontal position or vertical position, the installation method of the slide rail set will be limited by the position of the installation hole. When the slide rail set is to be installed on a vertical wall or door , a slide rail set with horizontal mounting holes cannot be installed. The second is that the slider at one end of the arm is usually a rectangular block or cylinder, and the shape of the track is usually rectangular. Therefore, if the position of the slide rail group and the swing arm is not calibrated well, it is easy to cause the slider and the track to not completely fit together, resulting in the slider not being able to move smoothly in the track, affecting the smoothness of the automatic switch, and long-term Wear and tear will also lead to an increase in the probability that the sliding arm mechanism needs to be repaired, which will relatively increase the maintenance cost.
