[0021] Example 1:

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a high-precision slide rail structure, including a base 1. A support side plate 2, a first fixing plate 3, and a second fixing plate 4 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. A stepper motor 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first fixing plate 3. A ball screw 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 5. An encoder 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the stepper motor 5. A nut 7 is provided on the outer surface of the ball screw 6. A slide body 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the nut 7. A lubrication mechanism 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slide body 8. A lubrication mechanism 9 is provided on the side of the lower surface of the slide body 8. The rotating ball 10 and the slide body 8 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slide body 8. The top of the support side plate 2 is provided with a guide groove 12. The lubrication mechanism 9 includes a liquid storage cylinder 91. The end of the liquid storage cylinder 91 is fixedly connected to a telescopic cylinder 92. The end of the liquid storage cylinder 91 away from the telescopic cylinder 92 is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 94. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 92 is fixedly connected to a piston 93. The outer surface of the inlet pipe 94 is fixedly connected to a first solenoid valve 95. The side of the outer surface of the liquid storage cylinder 91 is fixedly connected to a guide pipe 96. The outer surface of the guide pipe 96 is fixedly connected to a second solenoid valve 97.

[0023] Specifically, the support side plates 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first fixed plate 3 and the second fixed plate 4, and the rotating balls 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the nut 7.

[0024] Specifically, the rotating balls 10 are arranged linearly along the lower surface of the slide body 8, and the outer surface of the rotating balls 10 is adapted to the inner surface of the guide groove 12.

[0025] Specifically, the end of the ball screw 6 away from the stepper motor 5 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second fixed plate 4, and the encoder 13 is coaxially arranged with the stepper motor 5.

[0026] Specifically, the outer surface of the liquid storage cylinder 91 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slide body 8, the outer surface of the telescopic cylinder 92 penetrates the liquid storage cylinder 91 and extends into the inner cavity, and the outer surface of the piston 93 is adapted to the inner surface of the liquid storage cylinder 91.

[0027] Specifically, the timer 11 is electrically connected to the telescopic cylinder 92 and the second solenoid valve 97, and the output end of the liquid guide tube 96 is aligned with the gap between the nut 7 and the ball screw 6.

[0028] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above embodiments.

[0029] In use, the stepper motor 5 drives the ball screw 6 to rotate, causing the nut 7 to drive the slide body 8 to move linearly along the ball screw 6. The encoder 13 is used to precisely control the moving distance of the slide body 8. During the movement of the slide body 8, the ball bearing 10 moves along the guide groove 12. The support side plate 2 provides support for the slide body 8. The ball bearing 10 is used to reduce the friction between the slide body 8 and the support side plate 2, thereby improving the support effect of the slide body 8 and giving the slide body 8 a larger load-bearing capacity. The telescopic cylinder 92 and the second solenoid valve 97 are timed by the timer 11. The switch automatically activates the telescopic cylinder 92 and the second solenoid valve 97 after a set period of time, causing the telescopic cylinder 92 to extend a short distance. This drives the piston 93 to push a portion of the lubricating fluid in the reservoir 91 through the guide pipe 96 to the gap between the nut 7 and the ball screw 6 for lubrication. This prevents excessive wear between the nut 7 and the ball screw 6 after prolonged operation, which could affect accuracy. When the lubricating fluid in the reservoir 91 is used up, the first solenoid valve 95 is opened, and lubricating fluid is injected into the reservoir 91 through the inlet pipe 94 to ensure the continuous operation of the lubrication mechanism 9.
