The rails include a first rail and a second rail which is slidably arranged inside the first rail; the two rotating wheels are respectively arranged at the two ends of the rails; the belt, which wraps around the outer periphery of the two rotating wheels, has a free end and a fixed end; the first traction block is arranged at the middle of the belt, wherein the first traction block comprises a first fixing device by which the first traction block could grip or release the belt; the second traction block is configured to grip the two ends of the belt, wherein the fixed end is gripped and fixed by the second traction block, and the free end is gripped by the second traction block and then stretches out of the second rail via a through-hole on the second rail, wherein the second traction block comprises a second fixing device by which the second traction block could grip or release the belt.
In a further aspect of the invention, the belt is a timing belt.
In a further aspect of the invention, the first traction block comprises a first main part and a first retaining structure, the first retaining structure comprises a first fixing plate and a first gripping portion for gripping the belt, wherein the belt is gripped between the first main part and the first gripping portion, the first fixing plate is fixed with the first main part by the first fixing device.
In a further aspect of the invention, the first main part comprises a first groove portion installed inside the rail and a first fixing portion partly extended out of the rail, wherein the first fixing portion is fixed with the first fixing plate by the first fixing device, and the belt is gripped in the first groove portion.
In a further aspect of the invention, the first fixing device is a screw.
In a further aspect of the invention, the second traction block comprises a second main part and a second retaining structure, the second retaining structure comprises a second fixing plate and a second gripping portion for gripping the belt, wherein the belt is gripped between the second main part and the second gripping portion, the second fixing plate is fixed with the second main part by the second fixing device.
In a further aspect of the invention, the second main part comprises a second groove portion installed inside the rail and a second fixing portion partly extended out of the rail, wherein the second fixing portion is fixed with the second fixing plate by the second fixing device, and the belt is gripped in the second groove portion.
In a further aspect of the invention, the second fixing device is a screw.
The present invention has following technical advantages:
The telescopic rail comprises a first rail and a second rail slidably arranged relative to each other, rotating wheels, a belt, a first traction block, and a second traction block. When the rail is put into use, loosen the first fixing device and the second fixing device to release the belt from the first traction block and the second traction block, then hold the free end of the belt and slide the first rail and the second rail relative to each other till the total length of the rails is qualified for the installation requirement, then tighten the first fixing device and the second fixing device to grip and secure the belt by the first traction block and the second traction block, after that cut off the surplus of belt extending out of the through-hole, thus the length of the telescopic rail could be adjusted on-site without preparatory measurements and customizations, which decreases the workload for measurements and improves the efficiency for installation.

Referring to
Optionally, the belt 300 is a timing belt.
The first traction block 400 is arranged at the middle of the belt 300, wherein the first traction block 400 comprises a first fixing device 401 by which the first traction block 400 could grip or release the belt 300.
Preferably, the first fixing device 401 is a screw.
Further, the first traction block 400 comprises a first main part 402 and a first retaining structure, the first retaining structure comprises a first fixing plate 404 and a first gripping portion 403 for gripping the belt 300, wherein the belt 300 is gripped between the first main part 402 and the first gripping portion 403, the first fixing plate 404 is fixed with the first main part 402 by the first fixing device 401. In a preferred embodiment, the first retaining structure is integrally-formed or formed by fixing the first fixing plate 404 and the first gripping portion 403 by a screw.
The first main part 402 comprises a first groove portion installed inside the rail 100 and a first fixing portion partly extended out of the rail 100, wherein the first main part 402 is fixed with the first fixing plate 404 at the first fixing portion by the first fixing device 401, and the belt 300 is gripped in the first groove portion.
The second traction block 500 is configured to grip the two ends of the belt 300, wherein the second traction block 500 comprises a second fixing device 501 by which the second traction block 500 could grip or release the belt 300.
In a preferred embodiment, the second fixing device 501 is a screw. The fixed end 302 of the belt 300 is fixed to the second traction block 500, and the free end 301 of the belt 300 extends out of the second rail 102 via a through-hole 103 on the second rail 102.
