Slide rail self-return mechanism
A slide rail self-return mechanism includes a holder base including a base block, a guide plate extended from the base block, a sliding groove defined in the guide plate and abutted to the base block and a mounting groove defined in the guide plate remote from the base block and disposed in communication with the sliding groove, a sliding seat slidably coupled to the holder base, and a biasing member including a body pivotally connected to the sliding seat and a position-limiting block located at the body and movable through the mounting groove into the sliding groove when the sliding seat is coupled to the holder base.
1. A slide rail self-return mechanism, comprising:
a holder base comprising a base block, a guide plate extending from one side of said base block, two sliding rails longitudinally extending along two opposite lateral sides of said guide plate, a sliding groove longitudinally defined in said guide plate and abutted to said base block, a mounting groove longitudinally forwardly extending from a front end of said sliding groove remote from said base block and disposed in communication with said sliding groove, an insertion hole located on a front end of said guide plate in communication with a front end of said mounting groove opposite to said sliding groove, and a stop block disposed between said sliding groove and said mounting groove and defining a front sloping guide surface that slopes downwardly forwardly into said mounting groove and a rear stop surface that is abutted to said front end of said sliding groove;
a sliding seat comprising two sliding rails respectively disposed at two opposite lateral sides thereof in a parallel manner, an accommodation chamber defined therein between the two sliding rails of said sliding seat, and two displacement grooves respectively defined in the sliding rails of said sliding seat to face toward said accommodation chamber and respectively coupled with the sliding rails of said holder base for allowing said sliding seat to slide on said holder base; and
a biasing member comprising a body pivotally mounted in said accommodation chamber of said sliding seat, and a position-limiting block located at said body and mounted in said sliding groove of said holder base.
2. The slide rail self-return mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said base block of said holder base comprises two first connection grooves respectively disposed at two opposite lateral sides relative to said guide plate; said sliding seat further comprises two second connection grooves respectively disposed at two opposite lateral sides relative to the sliding rails thereof and respectively aligned with said first connection grooves; the slide rail self-return mechanism further comprises two spring members respectively connected between said first connection grooves and said second connection grooves.
3. The slide rail self-return mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said holder base further comprises a notch located in one side wall of said sliding groove for receiving said position-limiting block upon biasing of said biasing member.
4. The slide rail self-return mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a buffer device accommodated in said accommodation chamber of said sliding seat, said buffer device comprising a cylinder body accommodated in said accommodation chamber of said sliding seat between the two sliding rails of said sliding seat, and a reciprocating rod connected to two locating plates at said holder base and movable in and out of said cylinder body.
