Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of linear lifting device technology, and in particular to a transmission assembly and linear lifting device for a linear lifting device. [Background Technology]

[0002] The existing linear lifting device includes a transmission assembly and a sleeve assembly sleeved on the outside of the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly drives the sleeve assembly to extend and retract. The transmission assembly includes a lead screw, a spline sleeve, and a hollow shaft sleeved on the outside of the lead screw. The bottom end of the lead screw has a threaded hole extending along its axial direction. The spline sleeve is sleeved on the bottom end of the lead screw and rotates synchronously with the lead screw. The spline sleeve has a limiting step that abuts against the bottom end face of the lead screw. The limiting step forms a through hole. A screw passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby fixing the spline sleeve axially to the bottom end of the lead screw. This achieves axial relative fixation between the spline sleeve and the lead screw, while the spline sleeve and the inner wall of the hollow shaft maintain a circumferentially relatively fixed and axially relatively movable connection, so that the lead screw and the hollow shaft can extend and retract relative to each other along the axial direction. In existing technologies, the spline sleeve and lead screw are connected by screws to achieve axial relative fixation between the spline sleeve and the lead screw. However, under long-term vibration or alternating loads, the screws may loosen due to fretting wear of the threaded pair or attenuation of preload, leading to the risk of connection failure between the spline sleeve and the lead screw. In addition, a threaded hole needs to be made at the bottom end of the lead screw. The design of the threaded hole not only increases the machining difficulty of the lead screw, but also weakens the structural strength of the bottom end of the lead screw. Especially when subjected to large axial forces, stress concentration is prone to occur at the root of the thread, which may lead to breakage of the bottom end of the lead screw (especially for small-diameter lead screws). [Utility Model Content]

[0003] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, this utility model provides a transmission assembly and linear lifting device for a linear lifting device. This eliminates the need for screws to connect the spline sleeve and the lead screw, thus simplifying the assembly process. Furthermore, the lead screw does not require machining of threaded holes, ensuring its integrity and structural strength. The two half-sleeves are radially closed and connected by a connector to maintain their closed state, eliminating the need to hold the two half-sleeves afterward, facilitating subsequent assembly of the spline sleeve and hollow shaft.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A transmission assembly for a linear lifting device includes a lead screw, a spline sleeve, and a hollow shaft sleeved on the outside of the lead screw. The spline sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the lead screw. The spline sleeve and the inner wall of the hollow shaft are connected in a circumferentially fixed and axially movable manner, so that the lead screw and the hollow shaft can extend and retract relative to each other in the axial direction. The spline sleeve includes two half-sleeves and a connecting member. The two half-sleeves are closed radially along the lead screw and connected by the connecting member to maintain the closed state. One of the inner walls of the half-sleeves and the outer periphery of the lead screw is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other is provided with a positioning groove. The positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are radially inserted to fix the half-sleeves axially relative to the lead screw.

[0006] In the transmission assembly of the above-mentioned linear lifting device, the lead screw includes a threaded section and a smooth shaft section connected along its axial direction, and the outer peripheral side of the smooth shaft section is provided with the positioning protrusion or positioning groove.

[0007] In the transmission assembly of the above-mentioned linear lifting device, the optical shaft section is provided with an annular positioning protrusion or an annular positioning groove, the outer periphery of the optical shaft section is provided with a non-cylindrical surface, and the inner wall of the spline sleeve has a non-circular inner wall adapted to the non-cylindrical surface.

[0008] In the transmission assembly of the aforementioned linear lifting device, the outer peripheral surface of the positioning protrusion forms the non-cylindrical surface, or the bottom surface of the positioning groove forms the non-cylindrical surface.

[0009] In the transmission assembly of the aforementioned linear lifting device, the optical axis section is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced positioning protrusions or positioning grooves.

[0010] In the transmission assembly of the above-mentioned linear lifting device, the optical shaft section is provided with a positioning protrusion. The positioning protrusion extends from the end face of the optical shaft section toward the threaded section. A slot is provided between the positioning protrusion and the threaded section. The inner wall of the half-body is provided with two inner shoulders that are axially spaced apart. The positioning groove is formed between the two inner shoulders. One inner shoulder abuts against the end face of the optical shaft section, and the other inner shoulder is inserted into the slot.

[0011] In the transmission assembly of the above-mentioned linear lifting device, the half-body has a slit surface that engages with the other half-body, and the connecting member includes a connecting post provided on the slit surface of one half-body and a connecting hole provided on the slit surface of the other half-body. The connecting post is inserted into the connecting hole and is interference-fitted with the connecting hole.

[0012] In the transmission assembly of the above-mentioned linear lifting device, the half-body is provided with the positioning groove, and the two half-body is connected by two connectors, which are distributed on both sides of the cutting surface located in the radial direction of the positioning groove.

[0013] In the transmission assembly of the above-mentioned linear lifting device, the connecting member is a clamp, which is sleeved on the outside of the two half-body to hold the two half-body tightly; or, the connecting member is an adhesive, and the two half-body is bonded together by the adhesive.

[0014] In addition, this utility model also discloses a linear lifting device, including a sleeve assembly, a transmission assembly, and a drive device. The drive device drives the sleeve assembly to extend and retract through the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly adopts the transmission assembly described in any of the above technical solutions. The drive device includes a motor, and the motor is coupled with the lead screw.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, when assembling the spline sleeve and the lead screw, one half of the sleeve is first fitted radially onto the outside of the lead screw, and the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are radially inserted and engaged. The radial insertion and engagement of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove can fix the half of the sleeve axially relative to the lead screw. Then, the other half of the sleeve is assembled in the same way and connected to the assembled half of the sleeve through the connector. Thus, the two half of the sleeve can be closed radially along the lead screw and then connected by the connector to maintain the closed state, thereby keeping the spline sleeve completely fitted onto the outside of the lead screw. The radial insertion and engagement of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove achieves the axial fixation of the spline sleeve on the lead screw. That is, the spline sleeve is pre-installed and fixed on the lead screw by the connection of the two half of the sleeve. When the hollow shaft is subsequently fitted onto the outside of the spline sleeve, it is not necessary to hold the two half of the sleeve to keep it closed, thus facilitating the subsequent assembly of the spline sleeve and the hollow shaft. In summary, this utility model eliminates the need for screws to connect the spline sleeve and the lead screw, thus simplifying the assembly process; furthermore, the lead screw does not require machining of threaded holes, thereby ensuring the integrity and structural strength of the lead screw; and by pre-installing the spline sleeve on the lead screw, it also facilitates the subsequent assembly of the spline sleeve and the hollow shaft.

[0017] 2. The lead screw includes a threaded section and a smooth shaft section connected along its axial direction. The outer periphery of the smooth shaft section is provided with a positioning protrusion or a positioning groove. Since the threaded section is used to drive the load lifting and lowering, while the surface of the smooth shaft section is flat, placing the positioning protrusion or positioning groove on the smooth shaft section can ensure the machining accuracy of the positioning protrusion or positioning groove, reduce assembly errors, and thus reduce the machining difficulty of the lead screw, while also avoiding occupying the threaded section and affecting the lifting stroke.

[0018] 3. The optical axis section is provided with an annular positioning protrusion or an annular positioning groove, and the outer circumference of the optical axis section is provided with a non-cylindrical surface. The inner wall of the spline sleeve has a non-circular inner wall that matches the non-cylindrical surface. The design of the annular positioning protrusion or annular positioning groove facilitates the half-sleeve fitting onto the outside of the lead screw, so that the positioning groove can quickly position and achieve a plug-in fit with the positioning protrusion. At the same time, the annular structure can also increase the mating area between the positioning groove and the positioning protrusion to improve the axial positioning effect of the spline sleeve. The fit between the non-cylindrical surface and the non-circular inner wall can achieve circumferential relative fixation between the spline sleeve and the optical axis section, so that the spline sleeve and the lead screw rotate synchronously. The structure is simple and eliminates the need for other connecting parts.

[0019] 4. The outer circumferential surface of the positioning protrusion is formed as a non-cylindrical surface, or the bottom surface of the positioning groove is formed as a non-cylindrical surface. Compared with setting a non-cylindrical surface on the outer circumference of the optical axis section outside the positioning protrusion or positioning groove, this technical solution can effectively shorten the axial length of the optical axis section, thereby further reducing the machining difficulty of the lead screw. In addition, the axial and circumferential relative fixation of the spline sleeve and the lead screw can be achieved simultaneously through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove, achieving a dual-purpose effect.

[0020] 5. The optical axis section is provided with multiple circumferentially spaced positioning protrusions or positioning grooves. This design allows for simultaneous axial and circumferential relative fixation of the spline sleeve and the lead screw through the cooperation of the positioning protrusions and positioning grooves, achieving a dual-purpose effect.

[0021] 6. The optical axis section is provided with a positioning protrusion extending from the end face of the optical axis section towards the threaded section. A slot is provided between the positioning protrusion and the threaded section. The inner wall of the half-sleeve is provided with two axially spaced inner shoulders, forming a positioning groove between the two inner shoulders. One inner shoulder abuts against the end face of the optical axis section, and the other inner shoulder is inserted into the slot. Since the optical axis section of the existing screw-fixed spline sleeve usually has the above-mentioned positioning protrusion and slot, and the existing spline sleeve also has an inner shoulder abutting against the end face of the optical axis section, this technical solution only requires adding an inner shoulder to the slot inside the existing half-sleeve. The modification to the screw and spline sleeve is small, thereby reducing the modification cost.

[0022] 7. One half of the sleeve has a cut surface that engages with the other half. The connector includes a connecting post on the cut surface of one half and a connecting hole on the cut surface of the other half. The connecting post is inserted into the connecting hole and is interference-fitted with the connecting hole. This design not only hides the connector to improve the appearance of the spline sleeve, but also allows the two half sleeves to be connected without the need for tools by inserting the connecting post into the connecting hole, making the connection simple and convenient.

[0023] 8. The half-body is provided with the positioning groove, and the two half-body are connected by two connectors, which are distributed on both sides of the cutting surface located in the radial direction of the positioning groove. This design, by increasing the number of connectors, can improve the connection reliability of the two half-body, so that the two half-body can be stably kept in the closed state, thereby improving the secure fixing of the spline sleeve on the lead screw.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0035] This utility model provides a transmission assembly for a linear lifting device, including a lead screw, a spline sleeve, and a hollow shaft sleeved on the outside of the lead screw. The spline sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the lead screw. The spline sleeve and the inner wall of the hollow shaft are connected in a circumferentially fixed and axially movable manner, so that the lead screw and the hollow shaft can extend and retract relative to each other in the axial direction. The spline sleeve includes two half-sleeves and a connecting member. The two half-sleeves are closed radially along the lead screw and are connected by the connecting member to maintain the closed state. One of the inner walls of the half-sleeves and the outer periphery of the lead screw is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other is provided with a positioning groove. The positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are radially inserted to fix the half-sleeves axially relative to the lead screw.

[0036] In this invention, when assembling the spline sleeve and the lead screw, one half of the sleeve is first fitted radially onto the outside of the lead screw, and the positioning protrusion and positioning groove are radially inserted into each other. The radial insertion of the positioning protrusion and positioning groove fixes the half of the sleeve axially relative to the lead screw. Then, the other half of the sleeve is assembled in the same way and connected to the assembled half of the sleeve through a connector. This allows the two half of the sleeve to be closed radially along the lead screw and then connected by the connector to maintain the closed state. This ensures that the spline sleeve is completely fitted onto the outside of the lead screw, and the radial insertion of the positioning protrusion and positioning groove achieves axial fixation of the spline sleeve on the lead screw. In other words, the spline sleeve is pre-installed and fixed on the lead screw by the connection of the two half of the sleeve. When the hollow shaft is subsequently fitted onto the outside of the spline sleeve, it is not necessary to hold the two half of the sleeve to keep them closed, thus facilitating the subsequent assembly of the spline sleeve and the hollow shaft. In summary, this utility model eliminates the need for screws to connect the spline sleeve and the lead screw, thus simplifying the assembly process; furthermore, the lead screw does not require machining of threaded holes, thereby ensuring the integrity and structural strength of the lead screw; and by pre-installing the spline sleeve on the lead screw, it also facilitates the subsequent assembly of the spline sleeve and the hollow shaft.

It should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "longitudinal," "lateral," "inner," "outer," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," and "bottom," etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are based solely on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Combination Figures 1 to 8As shown, the transmission assembly 100 of the linear lifting device in this embodiment includes a lead screw 110, a spline sleeve 120, and a hollow shaft 130 sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 110. The spline sleeve 120 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 110 and rotates synchronously with the lead screw 110. The spline sleeve 120 and the inner wall of the hollow shaft 130 maintain a circumferentially fixed and axially movable connection, so that the lead screw 110 and the hollow shaft 130 can extend and retract relative to each other axially. The spline sleeve 120 includes two half-sleeves. 121 and connector 123, the cutting surfaces 1212 of the two half-sleeves 121 extend along the axial direction of the lead screw 110. After the two half-sleeves 121 are radially closed along the lead screw 110, they are connected by connector 123 to maintain the closed state. The inner walls of the two half-sleeves 121 are provided with positioning grooves 1210. The outer periphery of the lead screw 110 is provided with positioning protrusions 1101. The positioning protrusions 1101 and the positioning grooves 1210 are radially inserted to fix the half-sleeves 121 axially relative to the lead screw 110.

[0040] In this embodiment, when assembling the spline sleeve 120 with the lead screw 110, one half-sleeve 121 is first radially sleeved onto the outside of the lead screw 110, and the positioning protrusion 1101 is radially inserted into the positioning groove 1210. This radial insertion of the positioning protrusion 1101 into the positioning groove 1210 fixes the half-sleeve 121 axially relative to the lead screw 110. Then, the other half-sleeve 121 is assembled in the same manner and connected to the assembled half-sleeve 121 via the connector 123. This allows the two half-sleeves 121 to be joined radially along the lead screw 110 and then connected... The connection of component 123 keeps the spline sleeve 120 in a closed state, thus ensuring that the spline sleeve 120 is completely fitted on the outside of the lead screw 110. The axial fixation of the spline sleeve 120 on the lead screw 110 is achieved by the radial insertion and engagement of the positioning protrusion 1101 and the positioning groove 1210. That is, the two half-sleeves 121 are pre-installed and fixed on the lead screw 110 by the connection of the connector 123. When the hollow shaft 130 is subsequently fitted on the outside of the spline sleeve 120, it is not necessary to hold the two half-sleeves 121 to keep them in a closed state, which facilitates the subsequent assembly of the spline sleeve 120 and the hollow shaft 130. In summary, this embodiment eliminates the need for screws to connect the spline sleeve 120 and the lead screw 110, thus simplifying the assembly process. Furthermore, the lead screw 110 does not require machining of threaded holes, thereby ensuring the integrity and structural strength of the lead screw 110. At the same time, by pre-installing the spline sleeve 120 on the lead screw 110, it also facilitates the subsequent assembly of the spline sleeve 120 and the hollow shaft 130.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lead screw 110 includes an optical shaft section 111 and a threaded section 112 connected along the axial direction of the lead screw 110. One axial end of the optical shaft section 111 is connected to one axial end of the threaded section 112. Preferably, the optical shaft section 111 and the threaded section 112 are integrally machined, and the optical shaft section 111 is a solid rod-shaped structure. This design ensures the integrity of the lead screw 110, thereby guaranteeing the structural strength of the lead screw 110 and effectively preventing the optical shaft section 111 from breaking. In this embodiment, the positioning protrusion 1101 is located on the outer periphery of the optical shaft section 111. This design is because the threaded section 112 is used to drive the load lifting and lowering, while the surface of the optical shaft section 111 is flat. Therefore, placing the positioning protrusion 1101 on the outer periphery of the optical shaft section 111 can ensure the machining accuracy of the positioning protrusion 1101, reduce assembly errors, and thus reduce the machining difficulty of the lead screw 110, while also avoiding occupying the threaded section 112 and affecting the lifting stroke.

[0042] In this embodiment, the positioning protrusion 1101 is an annular positioning protrusion 1101. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the annular positioning protrusion 1101 means that the positioning protrusion 1101 is arranged around the outer periphery of the lead screw 110. The outer periphery of the positioning protrusion 1101 can be a cylindrical surface, a polygonal prism surface, a waist-shaped surface, or other non-cylindrical surfaces. At this time, the positioning grooves 1210 of the corresponding two half-sleeves 121 cooperate to form an annular positioning groove that matches the positioning protrusion 1101 after the two half-sleeves 121 are closed. The design of the annular positioning protrusion and the annular positioning groove can facilitate the half-sleeves 121 to be fitted onto the outside of the lead screw 110, so that the positioning groove 1210 can be quickly positioned and plugged into the positioning protrusion 1101. At the same time, the annular structure can also increase the mating area between the positioning groove 1210 and the positioning protrusion 1101, thereby improving the axial positioning effect of the spline sleeve 120.

[0043] To achieve synchronous rotation between the spline sleeve 120 and the lead screw 110, in this embodiment, the outer periphery of the optical shaft section 111 is provided with a non-cylindrical surface, and the inner wall of the spline sleeve 120 has a non-circular inner wall adapted to the non-cylindrical surface. Preferably, in this embodiment, the outer periphery of the positioning protrusion 1101 forms the aforementioned non-cylindrical surface. For example, the outer periphery of the positioning protrusion 1101 can be a prism surface, an elliptical cylinder surface, a D-shaped surface, etc. The bottom wall of the annular positioning groove formed by the two half-sleeves 121 after closing forms the aforementioned non-circular inner wall. Thus, the spline sleeve 120 and the optical shaft section can be synchronized through the cooperation of the non-cylindrical surface and the non-circular inner wall. The circumferential relative fixation of 111 allows the spline sleeve 120 and the lead screw 110 to rotate synchronously, resulting in a simple structure that eliminates the need for other connecting parts. Furthermore, compared to setting a non-cylindrical surface on the outer periphery of the optical axis section 111 outside the positioning protrusion 1101, this technical solution can effectively shorten the axial length of the optical axis section 111, thereby further reducing the machining difficulty of the lead screw 110. In addition, the axial and circumferential relative fixation of the spline sleeve 120 and the lead screw 110 can be achieved simultaneously through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 1101 and the two positioning grooves 1210, achieving a dual-purpose effect.

[0044] To facilitate the machining and forming of the lead screw 110 and spline sleeve 120, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the positioning protrusion 1101 is a quadrangular prism surface, and the corresponding positioning groove 1210 is a V-shaped groove. The two groove walls of the V-shaped groove match the two adjacent surfaces of the quadrangular prism surface. In this case, the positioning grooves 1210 of the two half-sleeves 121 are completely identical.

[0045] Better, such as Figures 2 to 4 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the positioning protrusion 1101 extends from the end face of the optical axis section 111 toward the threaded section 112. A slot 1102 is provided between the positioning protrusion 1101 and the threaded section 112. The inner wall of the half-body 121 is provided with two inner shoulders 1211 that are axially spaced and surround the optical axis section 111. A positioning groove 1210 is formed between the two inner shoulders 1211. One inner shoulder 1211 abuts against the end face of the optical axis section 111, and the other inner shoulder 1211 is inserted into the slot 1102. Since the optical axis section of the lead screw that uses screws to fix the spline sleeve usually has the above-mentioned positioning protrusion 1101 and slot 1102, and the existing spline sleeve also has an inner shoulder 1211 that abuts against the end face of the optical axis section, this technical solution only needs to add an inner shoulder 1211 to the inside of the existing half-body 121 and insert it into the slot 1102. The modification of the lead screw 110 and spline sleeve 120 is small, thereby reducing the modification cost.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in order to achieve a connection where the spline sleeve 120 and the inner wall of the hollow shaft 130 are circumferentially fixed and axially movable, in this embodiment, the outer circumferential surface of the spline sleeve 120 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced key teeth 122. The key teeth 122 extend along the axial direction of the lead screw 110, and each half-sleeve 121 has at least one of the key teeth 122 protruding from its outer circumferential side. The inner circumferential surface of the hollow shaft 130 is provided with an axially penetrating keyway 131, and the key teeth 122 are inserted into the keyway 131 and can slide relative to the keyway 131 along the axial direction of the lead screw 110. With this design, the key teeth 122 and keyway 131 can be inserted and fixed circumferentially relative to the hollow shaft 130, so that the hollow shaft 130 is subjected to balanced force. The key teeth 122 can slide relative to the keyway 131 along the axial direction of the lead screw 110, so that each half-body 121 can be connected to the hollow shaft 130 in an axial direction. The structure is relatively simple.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the half-body 121 has a slit surface 1212 that engages with the other half-body 121. The connector 123 includes a connecting post 1231 on the slit surface 1212 of one half-body and a connecting hole 1232 on the slit surface 1212 of the other half-body. The connecting post 1231 is inserted into the connecting hole 1232 and is press-fitted with the connecting hole 1232. This design not only hides the connector 123 to improve the appearance of the spline sleeve 120, but also allows the connection of the two half-body 121s to be achieved without the need for tools by inserting the connecting post 1231 into the connecting hole 1232, making the connection simple and convenient.

[0048] To improve the secure fixing of the spline sleeve 120 to the lead screw 110, in this embodiment, the two half-sleeves 121 are connected by two connectors 123, which are distributed on both radial sides of the slit surface 1212 located in the positioning groove 1210. This design, by increasing the number of connectors 123, improves the connection reliability of the two half-sleeves 121, enabling them to stably maintain a closed state, thereby enhancing the secure fixing of the spline sleeve 120 to the lead screw 110. Preferably, each slit surface 1212 is provided with a connecting post 1231 and a connecting hole 1232 on both radial sides of the positioning groove 1210. The connecting post 1231 and the connecting hole 1232 are symmetrically distributed on both radial sides of the positioning groove 1210, and the two half-sleeves 121 have identical structures. This eliminates the need to distinguish between the half-sleeves 121 during assembly, making assembly simpler and more convenient.

[0049] Finally, as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the transmission assembly 100 in this embodiment also includes a first sleeve 140 fitted on the outside of the hollow shaft 130 and a second sleeve 150 fitted on the outside of the first sleeve 140. The hollow shaft 130 is provided with external threads. The top end of the first sleeve 140 is provided with a first transmission nut 160, which engages with the external threads of the hollow shaft 130. The top end of the second sleeve 150 is connected to a second transmission nut 170, which is threaded with the lead screw 110. The hollow shaft 130 and the second transmission nut 170 are rotated and fixed relative to each other in the axial direction through bearings. For a specific implementation method, please refer to CN 207016433U, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] It is understood that in other embodiments of this utility model, if the outer peripheral surface of the positioning protrusion is a cylindrical surface, the bottom wall of the annular positioning groove formed by the two half-sleeves after being joined together is also a cylindrical surface. In this case, it is impossible to achieve circumferential fixation of the half-sleeves relative to the lead screw by the positioning protrusion and the annular positioning groove. Therefore, a non-cylindrical surface can be provided on the outer peripheral side of the optical axis section outside the positioning protrusion, and a non-circular inner wall adapted to the non-cylindrical surface can be formed on the inner wall of the spline sleeve. In this way, the spline sleeve can be circumferentially fixed relative to the lead screw.

[0051] It is understood that in other embodiments of this utility model, the outer periphery of the optical axis segment is provided with an annular positioning groove, and the inner wall of the half-sleeve is provided with a positioning protrusion extending radially inward. After the two half-sleeves are closed, the positioning protrusions on the two half-sleeves cooperate to form an annular positioning protrusion, and the annular positioning protrusion is inserted into the annular positioning groove. In order to achieve circumferential fixation of the spline sleeve relative to the lead screw, the bottom surface of the positioning groove can be formed as a non-cylindrical surface, and the inner surface of the annular positioning protrusion can be a non-cylindrical surface adapted to the bottom surface of the positioning groove; or, the portion of the outer periphery of the optical axis segment outside the positioning groove is provided with a non-cylindrical surface, and the inner wall of the spline sleeve has a non-circular inner wall adapted to the non-cylindrical surface.
