Three types of self-driven rack guide modules

A rack-and-rail intersecting module with an integrated drive, comprising:

• a module box, a bevel gear assembly, a drive box, a gear box, sliders one, two, three, and four, guide rail one and guide rail two, a combined load-bearing rack. Unlike the rack-and-rail skew module with an integrated drive, this module uses a bevel gear assembly instead of a worm gear assembly. The bevel gear assembly includes:
• an input bevel gear, output shafts one, two, and three, an output bevel gear, gears two, three, four, five, six, bearings five through ten, snap rings three through eight. Output shaft one features output bevel gear and gear two, supported at both ends by bearings five and six, with snap ring three securing output bevel gear and snap ring four securing gear two. Similarly, output shafts two and three have respective gears and bearings, secured by snap rings. The module box includes bearing covers four through nine, and bearing bores four through nine. Bearings and their corresponding covers are fitted into these holes. The motor output shaft connects to the input bevel gear through output shaft bore on partition. The input bevel gear intersects with and engages the output bevel gear, changing the direction of rotation. Gears two and three mesh, as do gears four and five, and gears six mesh with the rack.

A rack-and-rail parallel module with an integrated drive, comprising:

• a module box, a spur gear assembly, a drive box, a gear box, sliders one, two, three, and four, guide rail one and guide rail two, a combined load-bearing rack. Unlike the intersecting module, the gear box is L-shaped and separated from the drive box by L-shaped partition. It uses a spur gear assembly instead of a bevel gear assembly. The spur gear assembly differs in that the parallel motor gear meshes in parallel with gear one, converting rotational motion directly into linear motion. The motor output shaft connects to the motor gear through output shaft bore on partition. The intersecting module features a motor that engages with the output bevel gear through an input bevel gear. This arrangement changes the direction of motion, converting rotational movement into linear movement.

A vehicle slide-out system with an integrated drive rack-and-rail module includes:

• a rack-and-rail (skew, intersecting, or parallel) module with an integrated drive, a support frame, a load-bearing box, a slide-out. The rack-and-rail module (skew, intersecting, or parallel) is set inside the load-bearing box. The bottom of the module box has connection holes for securing it to the top plate of the support frame. The support frame consists of a top plate, bottom plate, and vertical plates. The combined load-bearing rack is fixed to the top of the load-bearing box. The rack-and-rail module (skew, intersecting, or parallel) is positioned parallel at the lower part of the slide-out on both sides, performing synchronized motion. When the vehicle is stationary, the slide-out can extend fully from the vehicle body, increasing interior space. Upon retraction, the slide-out aligns flush with the vehicle body, maintaining aesthetic integrity.
