DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2, which show an embodiment of the instant disclosure. The embodiment provides a linear guideway 100 including a guide rail 1, a sliding block 2, two circulation modules 3, two retainers 4, and two end cap modules 5. The circulation modules 3 are coupled through the sliding block 2, the retainers 4 are respectively disposed on the circulation modules 3, and the end cap modules 5 are respectively fixed on two opposite end surfaces 23 of the sliding block 2 (i.e., the front surface and the rear surface of the sliding block 2 as shown in FIG. 2). Moreover, the sliding block 2, the circulation modules 3, the retainers 4, and the end cap modules 5 are slidably disposed on the guide rail 1 and symmetrical to the guide rail 1.

Please refer to FIG. 3. The guide rail 1 is an elongated structure, the axis of elongation of guide rail 1 defines a sliding direction S, and the cross-section of the guide rail 1, which is perpendicular to the sliding direction S, is approximately I-shaped. Specifically, the guide rail 1 includes two elongated rolled grooves 11 respectively formed on two opposite side surfaces thereof (i.e., the left side surface and the right side surface of the guide rail 1 as shown in FIG. 2), and each rolled groove 11 is parallel to the sliding direction S. The other portion of each side surface of the guide rail 1, which is connected to the edge of the rolled groove 11, is defined as a contact surface 12. Each rolled groove 11 has a bottom wall 111 and two loaded side wall 112 respectively connected to two opposite edges of the bottom wall 111 (i.e., the top edge and the bottom edge of the bottom wall 111 as shown in FIG. 2).

Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 4. The sliding block 2 is an elongated structure, and the length of the sliding block 2 is smaller than the length of the guide rail 1. A mating trough 21 is concavely formed on the sliding block 2, that is to say, the cross-section of the sliding block 2, which is perpendicular to the elongation direction of the sliding block 2, is approximately U-shaped. The mating trough 21 of the sliding block 2 is slidably sleeved at the guide rail 1. The elongation direction of the sliding block 2 is parallel to the elongation direction of the guide rail 1 (such as the sliding direction S). Two opposite inner side surfaces of the mating trough 21 are respectively spaced apart from the opposite side surfaces of the guide rail 1 (as shown in FIG. 1A) for enabling the circulation module 3 and the retainers 4 to arrange between the opposite inner side surfaces of the mating trough 21 and the opposite side surfaces of the guide rail 1.

The sliding block 2 includes two opposite side portions substantially symmetrical to the guide rail 1, such that the following description just discloses one side portion of the sliding block 2. Specifically, the inner side surface of each side portion of the mating trough 21 is formed with a positioning groove 211, two side positioning grooves 212, and two carrying walls 213.

One carrying wall 213 is arranged between the positioning groove 211 and one side positioning groove 212, and another carrying wall 213 is arranged between the positioning groove 211 and another side positioning groove 212. In the cross-section of the sliding block 2 perpendicular to the sliding direction S (as shown in FIG. 1A), the perpendicular bisectors of the carrying walls 213 are perpendicularly intersected at a position, which is at one side of the positioning groove 211 away from the guide rail 1. In other words, the positioning groove 211 and the carrying walls 213 are corresponding to the rolled groove 11. Specifically, the positioning groove 211 faces the bottom wall 111 of the rolled groove 11, and the carrying walls 213 respectively face the loaded side walls 112 of the rolled groove 11.

Moreover, a portion of the sliding block 2 apart from each carrying wall 213 in a predetermined distance is formed with a penetrating accommodating channel 22 along the sliding direction S. The carry walls 213 together with the faced loaded side walls 112 are respectively corresponding to the accommodating channels 22. Specifically, in the cross-section of the sliding block 2 perpendicular to the sliding direction S, the perpendicular bisector of each carrying wall 213 passes through the center of the corresponding accommodating channel 22.

As shown in FIG. 3, the circulation modules 3 are respectively installed on two opposite inner side surfaces of the sliding block 2 (i.e., the inner left side surface and the inner right side surface of the sliding block 2 as shown in FIG. 3). The following description just discloses one circulation module 3 and the corresponding components, because the circulation modules 3 have the same structure.

Please refer to FIGS. 5 and 6. The circulation module 3 includes two circulation tubes 31, two separating sheets 32, and two rolling units 33. Each circulation tube 31 in the instant embodiment is formed by assembling several half tubes, but the following description takes each circulation tube 31 to be one piece for conveniently explaining the construction. Each rolling unit 33 in the instant embodiment takes the rolling pillars connected by the chain for example, but the rolling unit 33 is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 7, each circulation tube 31 includes a straight portion 311 and two U-like cornering portions 312 respectively extended from two opposite ends of the straight portion 311. The length of the straight portion 311 of each circulation tube 31 is greater than the length of accommodating channel 22. The ends of two cornering portions 312 of each circulation tube 31 are facing to each other, and the distance of the ends of two cornering portions 312 of each circulation tube 31 is smaller than the length of accommodating channel 22. One of the cornering portions 312 of each circulation tube 31 includes a fill-in opening 313 formed on a portion thereof adjacent to the straight portion 311. The separating sheet 32 is arced and installed on the circulation tube 31 to shield the fill-in opening 313, such that the circulation tube 31 and the corresponding separating sheet 32 are jointly defines a rolling path, in which the rolling path communicates with the outer space via the ends of cornering portions 312 of the corresponding circulation tube 31.

As shown in FIG. 8, the straight portion 311 of each circulation tube 31 is configured to couple through the corresponding accommodating channel 22, and the straight portion 311 is firmly arranged in the corresponding accommodating channel 22 by a step-like structure formed on the outer surface of the straight portion 311. The ends of the cornering portions 312 of each circulation tube 31 are disposed on the corresponding carrying wall 213. A portion of the straight portion 311 of each circulation tube 31 adjacent to the fill-in opening 313 is protruding out of the sliding block 3, and the cornering portion 312 having the fill-in opening 313 is arranged outside the adjacent cornering portion 312 without the fill-in opening 313.

In other words, when viewing the cornering portions 312 of the circulation module 3 from one end portion of the sliding block 2, the cornering portion 312 having the fill-in opening 313 of each circulating tube 31 (i.e., the position of separating sheet 32) is arranged outside the cornering portion 312 without the fill-in opening 313 of another circulating tube 31. The circulation tubes 31 of each circulation module 3 are installed on the sliding block 2 in a staggered and crossed arrangement.

The rolling unit 33 is rollably arranged in the corresponding circulation tube 31 via the fill-in opening 313, in which the rolling unit 33 is rolling out of the circulation tube 31 from the end of one cornering portion 312 along the carrying wall 213, and then rolling into the circulation tube 31 via the end of another cornering portion 312 for establishing an entire circulation loop. The separating sheet 32 is installed on the circulation tube 31 after the installation of the rolling unit 33, so that the rolling unit 33 is shield by the circulation tube 31 and the separating sheet 32, thereby preventing the rolling unit 33 from exposing out of the sliding block 2. Specifically, the rolling unit 33 is rollable on a track structure, which is formed on the inner surfaces of the circulation tube 31 and the separating sheet 32, and the corresponding carrying wall 213.

Additionally, a portion of each circulation tube 31 protruding out of the sliding block 2 has an oil-guiding opening 314.
