[0025] In the embodiment, the outer slide rail 1 is a concave structure, the inner slide rail 2 is a π-shaped structure matched with the outer slide rail 1, the inner slide rail 2 is longitudinally embedded in the inner side of the outer slide rail 1 and slidably connected with the outer slide rail 1, the outer slide rail 1 wraps the inner slide rail 2, and the inner slide rail 2 can preliminarily and simply slide on the inner side of the outer slide rail 1, the opposite sides of the fixed seat 31 are each fixed with a clamping sleeve for wrapping and fixing the outer slide rail 1, the inner bottom wall of the clamping sleeve is fixed with a limiting block abutting against the inner slide rail 2, and the bottom of the opposite end of the clamping rod 32 is fixedly installed with the limiting block, the two ends of the outer slide rail 1 are nested by the fixed seat 31, the nesting of the two ends of the outer slide rail 1 is realized, the inner slide rail 2 is prevented from sliding out of the inner side of the outer slide rail 1, and the outer slide rail 1 is convenient to disassemble in the later period.

[0026] In the embodiment, the inner bottom wall of the outer slide rail 1 is provided with an arc-shaped notch on both sides for cooperating with the rolling steel ball 33. The positioning plate 34 is slidingly connected with the outer slide rail 1 between the two arc-shaped notches. The two arc-shaped notches are used to limit the rotating position of the rolling steel ball 33, which facilitates assembly. The top surface of the front and rear ends of the positioning plate 34 is provided with a clamping wedge 37 for cooperating with the clamping rod 32. The clamping rod 32 is embedded in the clamping wedge 37. The clamping rod 32 can fix the fixing seat 31 at both ends of the positioning plate 34, and the fixing seat 31 can press the positioning plate 34 against the inner bottom wall of the outer slide rail 1. The bottom surface of the positioning plate 34 is provided with a plurality of tapered notches on both sides for limiting the rolling steel ball 33. The tapered notches press the rolling steel ball 33 inside the arc-shaped notch, so that the rolling steel ball 33 can only rotate at a specified position, avoiding the rolling steel ball 33 from deviating during rotation.

[0027] In the embodiment, the inner top wall of the outer slide rail 1 is provided with a clamping notch on both sides. The upper end of the limiting plate 35 is embedded in the clamping notch.

[0028] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0029] The arc-shaped notch is provided on both sides of the inner bottom wall of the outer slide rail 1 to place the rolling steel ball 33. The rolling steel ball 33 supports the bottom of the inner slide rail 2. During movement of the inner slide rail 2, the rolling steel ball 33 rotates to ensure that the inner slide rail 2 can smoothly slide along the inner side of the outer slide rail 1. The fan-shaped notch on the top of the limiting plate 35 supports the auxiliary steel ball 36. During movement of the inner slide rail 2, the auxiliary steel ball 36 rotates in the clamping notch while being limited on the top of the limiting plate 35, so that the inner slide rail 2 slides more smoothly along the inner side of the outer slide rail 1. The clamping rod 32 of the fixing seat 31 is clamped into the clamping wedge 37. When the fixing seat 31 is inserted and fixed at both ends of the outer slide rail 1, the positioning plate 34 can be pressed against the inner bottom wall surface of the outer slide rail 1. At the same time, the tapered notch of the positioning plate 34 presses the rolling steel ball 33 inside the arc-shaped notch of the outer slide rail 1, which can only self-rotate at a specified position. This avoids the inner slide rail 2 from moving the rolling steel ball 33 during movement, which affects the overall stability, thereby solving the problem of low stability of the steel ball in the structure of the seat slide rail assembly.
