[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotary motion is converted into linear motion by using a roller screw. The roller screw has the characteristics of high efficiency and strong load-bearing capacity, which helps to improve the load-bearing capacity and mechanical transmission efficiency of the reciprocating drive unit. According to the motion characteristics of the roller screw, the movement direction of the nut of the roller screw is consistent with the direction of the central axis of the push rod, which helps to reduce the noise of the reciprocating drive unit and the device driven by the reciprocating drive unit, helps to improve the life of the reciprocating drive unit and the device driven by the reciprocating drive unit, and helps to reduce the speed fluctuation of the push rod, thereby ensuring the flow stability of the high-pressure fluid in the device driven by the reciprocating drive unit.
