[0012] As a preferred scheme of the utility model, multiple groups of limited position sliding grooves are provided and are respectively located on the opposite outer walls of the guide rail. The sliding steel part is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limited position sliding groove through the rolling steel ball. The cross section of the sliding groove is a return structure. And multiple groups of sliding grooves are provided and are respectively located on the inner wall of the sliding steel part.

[0027] In this embodiment, specifically refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the distance measuring assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 301. The mounting plate 301 is mounted on the side wall of the guide rail 1. A buzzer 302 is mounted on the outer wall of the mounting plate 301. Fixed rods 303 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the mounting plate 301. And one end of the fixed rod 303 is mounted with a limiting rubber pad 305 through a bolt 304. And the limiting rubber pad 305 protects the infrared distance measuring sensor 306.

The receiving end of the infrared distance measuring sensor 306 is located on one side of the oil nozzle 12. The limiting rubber pad 305 is located on one side of the infrared distance measuring sensor 306.

[0028] In this embodiment, specifically refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the limiting assembly 8 includes a limiting spring 801, a contact sensor 802 and a lubricating oil sensor 803. The limiting spring 801 is mounted on the inner wall of the installation groove 9. Multiple groups of limiting springs 801 are arranged from left to right and are respectively located on the inner wall of the installation groove 9. On one side of the limiting spring 801 and on the inner wall of the installation groove 9, a limiting plate 804 is slidably connected. The limiting plate 804 is located on one side of the rolling steel ball 6. And the connection mode between the limiting plate 804 and the rolling steel ball 6 is a sliding connection. The limiting plate 804 limits the rolling steel ball 6. On one side of the rolling steel ball 6 and on the inner wall of the sliding groove 5, a contact sensor 802 is embedded. A lubricating oil sensor 803 is embedded on the inner wall of the sliding groove 5.

[0029] Among them, under the action of the lubricating oil sensor 803 located on one side of the contact sensor 802, the lubricating oil sensor 803 monitors the lubricating oil in the inner cavity of the device in real time. At the same time, the lubricating oil sensor 803 generates an electrical signal and conducts it to the control panel 307 through a wire, facilitating the monitoring of the lubrication condition of the rolling steel balls 6. The transmitting end of the infrared distance sensor 306 is located on the outer wall of the mounting plate 301, and the receiving end of the infrared distance sensor 306 is located on the outer wall of the end sealing cover 11. Under the action that the control panel 307 is electrically connected to the buzzer 302, the infrared distance sensor 306, the contact sensor 802, and the lubricating oil sensor 803 through wires, the device is powered on;

[0030] Among them, the data generated by the infrared distance sensor 306 and the contact sensor 802 are stored in real time for subsequent reference and comparison. Taking time as the X-axis and displacement distance as the Y-axis, the data are compared. The data generated when the sliding steel part 4 moves are linearly changed. Since the jamming occurs occasionally, when the data show fluctuating changes, the buzzer 302 can be used to give a reminder for maintenance.

[0031] In this solution, when the high-precision linear guide pair is working, an infrared distance sensor 306 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 301. Under the action that the transmitting end of the infrared distance sensor 306 is located on the outer wall of the mounting plate 301 and the receiving end of the infrared distance sensor 306 is located on the outer wall of the end sealing cover 11, when the sliding steel part 4 makes a lateral displacement on the outer wall of the guide rail 1, the infrared distance sensor 306 generates data in real time according to the distance between the transmitting end and the receiving end. At the same time, the infrared distance sensor 306 generates an electrical signal and conducts it to the control panel 307 through a wire. The control panel 307 stores the operation data for subsequent reference. At the same time, under the action of the contact sensor 802 located in the inner cavity of the sliding groove 5, when the rolling steel ball 6 contacts the contact sensor 802, the contact sensor 802 generates an electrical signal and conducts it to the control panel 307 through a wire. When jamming occurs, the above data will show fluctuating changes. Subsequently, the control panel 307 controls the buzzer 302 to emit a beep, thereby prompting the staff to perform maintenance, thus solving the possible jamming phenomenon of the ball screw assembly during the movement process. If the jamming problem cannot be detected in time and maintenance is carried out on the ball screw assembly, it will lead to excessive wear of the equipment, thereby affecting the accuracy of the linear guide pair.

[0032] It is installed on the inner wall of the installation groove 9 through a limiting spring 801. A limiting plate 804 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 9 on one side of the limiting spring 801. The limiting plate 804 is located on one side of the rolling steel ball 6, and the connection mode between the limiting plate 804 and the rolling steel ball 6 is a sliding connection. Under the action of this, the limiting spring 801 exerts an elastic extrusion force on the limiting plate 804, so that the limiting plate 804 slides outward on the inner wall of the installation groove 9. When the limiting plate 804 contacts the rolling steel ball 6, under the action of the connecting structure at the joint of the installation groove 9 and the sliding groove 5 being a communicating structure, the limiting plate 804 exerts a thrust on the rolling steel ball 6, causing the rolling steel ball 6 to slide on the inner wall of the sliding groove 5, and then making the rolling steel ball 6 fit on the inner wall of the limiting sliding groove 2 for fixation. Due to the elastic displacement of the rolling steel ball 6, regardless of the size of the assembly gap, the rolling steel ball 6 can be well fitted and fixed, thus making the displacement of the sliding steel part 4 more stable and the movement accuracy of the device better, thereby solving the problem that the assembly accuracy of the linear guide pair directly affects its working performance. If the assembly is improper, it may lead to too large or too small a gap between the guide rail and the slider, thereby affecting the operation accuracy and stability of the equipment.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
