DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(5) A mechanism device based on virtual linear moving guide rail of sliding-plug door plugging and pulling movement. It is made up of double linear guide rail and five-bar mechanisms with a virtual restraint. Under normal circumstances, the mechanism degree of freedom is zero and it can't move. However, the mechanism is capable of moving when the length of each rod is at a specific length and at this time the mechanism is a virtual restraint. The degree of freedom of the mechanism shall be calculated in accordance with the cancellation of the component and the low pair. At the same time, the degree of freedom of the five-bar mechanisms should be equal to the degree of freedom of the four-bar mechanisms and it can move. With the different requirements of industrial applications, the inventors selected different components and motion pairs as virtual restraint and the selection of different components as driving parts, the mechanism can have different functions. The invention relates to a double linear guide rail and five-bar mechanisms of one double linear guide rails as a virtual restraint and eliminates the linear guide rail (i.e. low pair) with its subsidiary slide block (i.e. component) while the remaining four components are retained. Although the linear guide rail (i.e. low pair) and its subsidiary slide block (component) were eliminated, due to the special nature of the four-bar mechanisms length which is connected with the slide block, the connection point can still be guaranteed according to the original linear guide trajectory. Although the linear guide rail is eliminated, it still can run out of the original linear guide rail track, we call it virtual linear motion guide rails. Connecting points of the virtual linear moving guide rail and the driving point of the sliding-plug door are connected by a rotation pair. In order to ensure that the sliding-plug door can follow the required linear movement along the guide track and complete the plugging and pulling movement of the door, the other guide rail in the original double guide rails is replaced with a roller form having an upper pair form with passive degree of freedom. Along with the change of the motion range of the mechanism, the force of the mechanism is also changing. In order to ensure flexibility of the plugging and pulling movement, different components can be used as the driving component in the mechanism so that the door is lighter, more flexible and reliable when making the plugging and pulling movement. The invention of the plugging and pulling movement is without driving power source alone. The power source is from the drive door opening and closing direction (i.e. train forward direction) of screw motion through the door of the curve guide rail forming action and reaction to push on the door which achieve the door plugging and pulling movement. The employment of the torsion spring force driving the swing rod to rotate in the virtual linear guide rail sliding-plug door plugging and pulling movement mechanism, ensure that the door is always in open state. When the door to needs of the plugging or pulling, used to set in the door frame of bevel mechanism driven original slider guide rail changed to roller forms of upper pair, plugging or pulling the door.

(6) As shown in FIG. 1, the invention main body mechanism is composed of ACBD which is a plugging and pulling movement based on virtual linear mobile guide rail about the sliding-plug door. The ACBD main body mechanism is composed of an AC swing rod (1), a BD connecting rod (2), a roller (3) and a connected bearing rod slide block (5). One end of AC swing rod is connected to the bearing rod slide block (5) by sliding rotation pair A while the other end is connected to connecting rod (2) by rotation pair C. The connecting rod (2) with B, C, D three rotation pairs, connected the compartment door (4), swing rod (1) and roller (3) respectively. Roller (3) and the bearing rod slide block (5) are composed of sliding pairs and the moving direction is along the direction of the AD center line. The bearing rod and nut slider are connected by a bridge F. In order to ensure point B that the connection between AB points and compartment door, the trajectory of AB is always perpendicular to the AD. The rod length of AC is equal to BC which is equal to CD and the value can be altered to 75 mm. The requirements are that the angle BAD is 90 degrees and BCD three points in a straight line when is installed. Due to the length of the mechanism and the particularity of the installation above, if the AC among the mechanism rotated along w, then the point B must be perpendicular to AD and along AB with straight line movement. If point D moves along the direction AD (that is, the direction S), point B in the AB can also be perpendicular to the AD along the AB trajectory. If point B moves along the direction AB, the trajectory of point B can always ensure that AB is perpendicular to the direction of AD with straight line trajectory movement.

(7) In addition to the main body mechanism ACBD, this device is supplemented by compartment door (4), bearing rod slide block (5), bearing rod (6), reverse stroke non-self-locking (i.e. having a large lead) trip screw rod (7) with the screw rod (7) to match the nut slider (8) and the compartment door upper roller (9), upper roller guide rail (10), compartment door lower roller (11) and other components. It is the ACBD mechanism which makes the plugging and pulling movement based on virtual linear mobile guide rail about the sliding-plug door. Point B of the mechanism component (2) is connected to the compartment door (4) by rotation pair B and there is a compartment door upper roller (9) on the top of compartment door. The compartment door upper roller (9) is installed on the upper roller guide rail (10) and the upper roller guide rail (10) is fixed and installed on the vehicle body. The guide rail on the lower end of compartment door is installed on the door, with the door into a whole. The compartment door lower roller (11) is installed on the guide rail of the lower end and can move along the low guide rail as shown in FIG. 1. It is allowed to swing along the U direction when the compartment door makes a plugging and pulling movement. The sliding-plug door plugging and pulling movement discussed above was installed on the bearing rod slide block and makes the movement with the bearing rod slide block together. The compartment door (4) is supported by point B, compartment door upper roller (9) and compartment door lower roller (11). When the controller controls the motor drive, the drive screw rod (7) rotate and promote the nut slider (8) along the train moving direction, namely moving along the door opening and closing direction. The drive bearing rod slide block (5) also moves at this time. The compartment door not only can move with bearing rod slide block (5) together but also the part of bending guide rail on the upper roller guide rail (10) when opening and closing the door give compartment door upper roller (9) the reaction along part force of the direction V as shown in FIG. 1 to K direction view, driving compartment door (4) follow the rotation pair B to move by being perpendicular to the train forward motion direction along virtual linear moving guide rail, that is, as showed in FIG. 1 V is plugging and pulling movement when closing the door. The opposite movement showed in FIG. 1 is the plugging and pulling movement when opening the door. Bearing rod slide block (5) and nut slider (8) are connected by connection pair F. This pair as showed in FIG. 1 P direction view, the upper and the lower has no restraint can prevent the whole component which is connected with the load bearing rod sliding block (5), which comprises the weight of the door and other loads, delivering to the screw rod (7). But at the same time, the motor drive screw rod to (7) to rotate, push the nut slider (8) together along the train along the direction of movement of the force transmitted to the bearing rod slide block (5), driving the compartment door (4) to complete the movement along the train forward or backward direction. The direction and time of rotation driven by motor is controlled by the controller. Please note: in any of the components of the ACBD three movement components which is the main body about the invention of plugging and pulling movement (that is, swing rod (1), connecting rod (2), roller (3)) can be used as a driving component to complete plugging and pulling movements. The characteristics of this movement can provide the diversity and convenience for the driving style of plugging and pulling movement. As mentioned above, with the reaction force of upper guide rail bending part in direction V, completing plugging and pulling movement along direction V, that is, by the reaction force to drive the connecting point B on connecting rod 2, taking connecting rod 2 as the driving component, completing plugging and pulling movement as an example.

(8) The drive transmission line: If the door needs to be closed the controller is used to control the steering and running time of the motor. The driven screw rod (7) rotate and drives the nut slider (8) along the train forward moving direction which in turn drives the bearing rod slide (5) along the bearing rod to move. This then drives the main body of the plugging or pulling movement ABCD moving as a whole. The driven upper roller of compartment door (9) also moves along the upper roller track (10) in a straight line movement and completes the door movement along the train forward direction (closed) or reverse direction (open) movement when the compartment door (4) moved to near the end point position of the closed door. Because the upper roller (9) of the compartment door enters the curved section of the upper roller guide rail (10), the force of the upper roller track (10) to the counterforce of the upper roller of compartment door (9) is in the V direction. This enables B point on the compartment door (4) along the direction V completes the plugging or pulling movement of closed door. Due to the characteristics of the mechanism, the invention can always ensure that the B point is along the direction that BA is perpendicular to AD and makes virtual linear guide rail movement. The above is the closing process, first along the forward direction of the train, i.e. the upper roller of compartment door (9) in the upper roller track (10) doing straight line movement. When the door is closed, the upper roller of compartment door (9) enters the upper roller track (10) curved section to complete plugging or pulling movement along the V direction and closed the door.

(9) If you need to open the door, the process is the opposite process. First, make the curved section plugging or pulling movement of the guide rail to open the door and then make a straight line movement to open the door.

(10) The drive transmission line: If the door needs to be closed the controller is used to control the steering and running time of the motor. The driven screw rod (7) rotate and drives the nut slider (8) along the train forward moving direction which in turn drives the bearing rod slide (5) along the bearing rod to move. This then drives the main body of the plugging or pulling movement ABCD moving as a whole. The driven upper roller of compartment door (9) also moves along the upper roller track (10) in a straight line movement and completes the door movement along the train forward direction (closed) or reverse direction (open) movement when the compartment door (4) is moved to near the end point position of the closed door. Because the upper roller (9) of the compartment door enters the curved section of the upper roller guide rail (10), the force of the upper roller track (10) to the counterforce of the upper roller of compartment door (9) is in the V direction. This enables B point on the compartment door (4) along the direction V completes the plugging or pulling movement of closed door. Due to the characteristics of the mechanism, the invention can always ensure that the B point is along the direction that BA is perpendicular to AD and makes virtual linear guide rail movement. The above is the closing process, first along the forward direction of the train, i.e. the upper pulley of compartment door (9) in the upper roller track (10) doing straight line movement. When the door is closed, the upper roller of compartment door (9) enters the upper roller track (10) curved section to complete plugging or pulling movement along the V direction and closes the door.

(11) If you need to open the door, the process is the opposite process. First, make the curved section plugging or pulling movement of the guide rail to open the door and then make a straight line movement to open the door.
