A guiding device includes a straight track, an arc track, and an interconnecting track joining the former two, where the interconnecting track has two opposite rolling contact surfaces, one with the profile being identical to that of the arc track and the other with a variable-curvatured profile. Only two rolling members are provided to roll on the side of the arc profile and only one rolling member is provided to roll on the side of the variable-curvatured profile, achieving a result that the rolling members driving a movement of a moving body remain contact with corresponding tracks in their rolling motion so as to improve stability and smooth transition of the device in motion.

1. A guiding device, comprising: a track assembly comprising a straight track, an interconnecting track, and an arc track, the straight track comprising a first straight contact surface and a second straight contact surface on opposite sides, the arc track comprising a first arc contact surface and a second arc contact surface on opposite sides which are concentric, the interconnecting track comprising a third arc contact surface and a variable-curvatured contact surface on opposite sides, wherein the third arc contact surface of the interconnecting track and the first arc contact surface of the arc track are the same in curvature, the third arc contact surface links the first straight contact surface and the first arc contact surface, and the variable-curvatured contact surface links the second straight contact surface and the second arc contact surface;a moving body spanning the track assembly; anda rolling unit composed of a first rolling member, a second rolling member, and a third rolling member, the first and the second rolling members normally rolling and coupling between the moving body and the track assembly on a side where the third arc contact surface is located, while the third rolling member normally rolling and coupling between the moving body and the track assembly on a side where the variable-curvatured contact surface is located;wherein the moving body moves along the track assembly only through the rolling unit. 2. The guiding device of claim 1, wherein the rolling members are referred to as rollers pivoted at the moving body. 3. The guiding device of claim 2, wherein each of the contact surfaces of the tracks is formed to be a horizontally-orientated cone portion and each of the rolling members is provided with an annular groove engaging with the horizontally-orientated cone portion. 4. The guiding device of claim 1, wherein the rolling members are referred to as balls restrained inside a space defined between the moving body and the track assembly and performing pure rolling motion. 5. The guiding device of claim 1, wherein a radii of the third rolling member is greater than that of the first rolling member and of the second rolling member. 6. The guiding device of claim 1, wherein each of the tracks is made of aluminum. 7. The guiding device of claim 1, wherein a radii of the first rolling member is the same with the second rolling member and a profile of the variable-curvatured contact surface is determined, according to an OXY coordinate system, as follows: XP=R1cosθ-4(Lsinη2)2-[R1(1-sinθ)]2+Lcos(ϕ+π2-η2)-r2cosθCYP=-R1+Lsin(ϕ+π2-η2)-r2sinθCϕ=tan-1(YB-YAXB-XA)=tan-1(R1(1-sinθ)4(Lsinη2)2-[R1(1-sinθ)]2) θC=tan-1{-(R1cosθ-4(Lsinη2)2-[R1(1-sinθ)]2)tanθ+R1-Lsin(ϕ+π2-η2)-Lcos(ϕ+π2-η2)}where an origin of the OXY coordinate system lies on a curvature center of the arc track, an X axis and a Y axis of the OXY coordinate system are parallel with and perpendicular to the straight track respectively;η is an angle formed from the positive X axis to a reference line which is a straight line connecting a center of the second rolling member and the origin O of the OXY coordinate system;R1 is a sum of a curvature radii of the first arc contact surface and a radii of the first rolling member;r2 is a radii of the third rolling member;L is a center distance between the first rolling member and the third rolling member, equaling to a center distance between the second rolling member and the third rolling member; andη is an angle formed by a line connecting centers of the first rolling member and the third rolling member and a line connecting centers of the second rolling member and the third rolling member.
