Abstract
A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, an aid-sliding device, a compensating device and a third rail. The aid-sliding device is movably mounted between the first rail and the second rail. The compensating device is movably mounted on the second rail. The second rail is configured to be movably mounted on the third rail. The compensating device is configured to compensate an error of a relative position of the first rail and the second rail.
Claims14
A slide rail assembly comprising:
- a first rail;
- a second rail;
- a first aid-sliding device comprising at least one first rotating member configured to be rotatably supported between the first rail and the second rail;
- a first feature arranged on the first rail;
- a compensating device mounted on the second rail and movable between a first state and a second state, the compensating device being pivotally connected to the second rail, and the compensating device comprising a second feature and a predetermined feature;
- and
- a third rail, the second rail being movably mounted on the third rail, the third rail comprising a supporting section and a blocking portion, and the supporting section being configured to support the compensating device;
- wherein after the second rail is displaced to a lagging position relative to the first rail, the first rail displacing along an opening direction drives the first feature and the compensating device in the first state to abut against each other to drive the second rail to synchronously displace together with the first rail along the opening direction for a first predetermined distance until the compensating device is driven to move from the first state to the second state;
- wherein after the second rail is displaced to an advancing position relative to the first rail, the first rail displacing along the opening direction drives the compensating device in the first state to displace along the opening direction to cause the blocking portion of the third rail and the compensating device in the first state to block each other to prevent a displacement of the second rail relative to the third rail along the opening direction to stop the second rail until the first rail is displaced along the opening direction over a second predetermined distance to drive the first feature and the compensating device in the first state to abut against each other to drive the compensating device to move from the first state to the second state, and when the compensating device is in the second state, the blocking portion of the third rail does not block the compensating device;
- wherein after the second rail is displaced to the lagging position relative to the first rail, the first rail displacing along the opening direction drives the first feature and the second feature of the compensating device in the first state to abut against each other, so as to drive the second rail to synchronously displace together with the first rail along the opening direction for the first predetermined distance;
- wherein one of the first feature and the second feature comprises a first guiding portion, after the second rail is displaced to the advancing position relative to the first rail, the first rail displacing along the opening direction drives the blocking portion of the third rail and the predetermined feature of the compensating device in the first state to block each other to stop the second rail until the first rail is displaced along the opening direction over the second predetermined distance to drive the first feature and the second feature of the compensating device in the first state to abut against each other by the first guiding portion, so as to drive the compensating device to move from the first state to the second state, and when the compensating device is in the second state, the blocking portion of the third rail does not block the predetermined feature of the compensating device.

- and
- a compensating device arranged on the second rail and movable between a first state and a second state, the compensating device being pivotally connected to the second rail, and the compensating device comprising a second feature and a predetermined feature;
- wherein after the second rail is displaced to an advancing position deviated from a predetermined position relative to the first rail, the first rail displacing along a first direction drives the compensating device in the first state to displace along the first direction to cause the blocking portion of the third rail and the compensating device in the first state to block each other to prevent a displacement of the second rail relative to the third rail along the first direction to stop the second rail until the first feature and the compensating device in the first state abut against each other to drive the compensating device to move from the first state to the second state;
- wherein when the compensating device is in the second state, the blocking portion of the third rail does not block the compensating device;
- wherein after the second rail is displaced to a lagging position deviated from the predetermined position relative to the first rail, the first rail displacing along the first direction drives the first feature and the compensating device in the first state to abut against each other to drive the second rail to synchronously displace together with the first rail along the first direction until the compensating device is driven to move from the first state to the second state, and when the compensating device is in the second state, the first feature does not abut with the compensating device;
- wherein in response to a displacement of the first rail from an extended position to a retracted position along a second direction opposite to the first direction, the second rail is displaced to the predetermined position relative to the first rail;
- wherein after the second rail is displaced to the lagging position relative to the first rail, the first rail displacing along the first direction drives the first feature and the second feature of the compensating device in the first state to abut against each other, so as to drive the second rail to synchronously displace together with the first rail along the first direction for a first predetermined distance;
- wherein one of the first feature and the second feature comprises a first guiding portion, after the second rail is displaced to the advancing position relative to the first rail, the first rail displacing along the first direction drives the blocking portion of the third rail and the predetermined feature of the compensating device in the first state to block each other to stop the second rail until the first rail is displaced along the first direction over a second predetermined distance to drive the first feature and the second feature of the compensating device in the first state to abut against each other by the first guiding portion, so as to drive the compensating device to move from the first state to the second state, and when the compensating device is in the second state, the blocking portion of the third rail does not block the predetermined feature of the compensating device.
