The present invention relates to the field of slide rails, particularly to a buffer slide rail with a dynamic friction silencing mechanism.
Because of being installed on a side surface of a drawer in general, being easy in installation and saving space, a slide rail is widely applied to transmission and connecting components of furniture and industrial production, especially a three-section slide rail. A traditional three-section slide rail comprises an upper rail, a middle rail and a lower rail which are embedded in sequence, wherein the upper rail is installed on a drawer, the lower rail is installed on a cabinet, and the middle rail, as a bearing rail, is in sliding connection between the upper rail and the lower rail, to extend a moving range of the drawer and enable the upper rail and the middle rail to slide back and forth with respect to the lower rail in a axial direction of the lower rail.
In the process, in order to make transmission smoother, a transmission lower bead nest in transmission connection with the middle rail may be assembled on the lower rail, and a transmission upper bead nest in transmission connection with the upper rail may be assembled on the middle rail.
However, in an actual operation, due to different forces of pushing and pulling the slide rail, the axial moving speed of the upper rail and the middle rail is caused to be too fast, so that the upper rail and the middle rail cannot be opened or closed on the lower rail in sequence, specifically as follows: the upper rail slides out before the middle rail during opening and the middle rail is reset and closed before the upper rail during closing, so that the middle rail is easy to deform under the action of a large moment during opening or closing, meanwhile, a loud noise is made due to a collision between limit stops for limiting the transmission upper bead nest in the middle rail and the upper rail, the stability of transmission is reduced, even the slide rail is damaged, causing the slide rail to fail, affecting the normal use of a drawer.
An object of the present invention is to overcome the defect in the prior art and provide a buffer slide rail with a dynamic friction silencing mechanism. The structure of the buffer slide rail is simple, to increase a coefficient of dynamic friction between an upper rail and a middle rail, reduce an axial moving speed of the upper rail, achieve a silencing effect, as well as ensure that the upper rail and the middle rail are opened or closed on a lower rail in sequence, improve the transmission stability of the slide rail, and guarantee the normal use of a drawer.
