[0024] In operation, firstly, the motor 5 is started, and drives the screw rod 2 to rotate through the output shaft connected with the screw rod 2. Since the sliding block 3 is in threaded cooperation with the screw rod 2, when the screw rod 2 rotates, the sliding block 3 moves along the slide rail 1 to realize large-range position adjustment. When fine adjustment of the sliding block 3 is needed, the user first closes the motor 5, and then operates the wedge-shaped block 15 by pressing the handle 17 to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 16, and release the locking of the sliding frame 12. After the locking is released, the sliding frame 12 is quickly pushed to the direction of the screw rod 2 by the first spring 14, until the sliding frame 12 and the screw rod 2 contact each other. At this time, if the spline groove 21 in the screw rod 2 is just connected with the spline shaft 11, the spline shaft 11 is directly inserted into the spline groove 21 in the screw rod 2. If the spline groove 21 in the screw rod 2 cannot be connected with the spline shaft 11, the knob 10 is rotated to drive the worm 9 to rotate, and then the worm gear 8 and the shaft sleeve 7 are driven to rotate by the meshing transmission of the worm gear 8 and the worm 9. Since the shaft sleeve 7 is matched with the spline shaft 11, the rotation of the shaft sleeve 7 directly drives the spline shaft 11 to rotate and align with the spline groove 21. Under the action of the first spring 14, the spline shaft 11 is directly inserted into the spline groove 21 in the screw rod 2 under the elastic force. Once the spline shaft 11 is successfully connected with the screw rod 2, the user adjusts the position of the sliding block 3 by rotating the knob 10 installed at one end of the worm 9. The rotation of the knob 10 drives the worm 9 to rotate, and then the worm gear 8 and the shaft sleeve 7 are driven to rotate by the meshing transmission of the worm gear 8 and the worm 9. The shaft sleeve 7 drives the screw rod 2 to rotate through the spline shaft 11, so that the screw rod 2 performs more subtle rotary motion, and finally the sliding block 3 is precisely positioned on the slide rail 1. Since the damper 18 is arranged between the sliding frame 12 and the mounting frame 6, the damper 18 can slow down the sliding speed of the sliding frame 12 on the guide rod 13, prevent hard collision between the spline shaft 11 and the screw rod 2 due to too fast sliding, and protect the service life of each component, so as to ensure long-term stable operation of the device. At the same time, the spline shaft 11 and the screw rod 2 can be automatically locked after adjustment by the threaded action between the worm gear 8 and the worm 9, so that the sliding block 3 can be stably kept at the set fine adjustment position and will not be displaced due to external vibration and other factors.
