The ball assembly includes a ball 14 and a ball retainer 15, and the ball 14 is a spherical structure and provided in plural. The balls 14 in the ball assembly are divided into two groups, namely a first group of balls and a second group of balls, the first group of balls is arranged corresponding to the first rolling surface and can roll on the first rolling surface along a first direction; the second group of balls is arranged corresponding to the second rolling surface and can roll on the second rolling surface along the first direction.

The ball retainer 15 comprises a first retainer and a second retainer which are oppositely arranged, the first retainer is arranged corresponding to the first group of balls and is used for installing the first group of balls, ball grooves which are in one-to-one correspondence with the balls 14 in the first group of balls are arranged, and the balls 14 in the first group of balls can roll in the corresponding ball grooves in the first retainer; the second retainer is arranged corresponding to the second group of balls and used for installing the second group of balls, and ball grooves corresponding to the balls 14 in the second group of balls in a one-to-one mode are arranged, and the balls 14 in the second group of balls can roll in the corresponding ball grooves in the second retainer.

The ball assembly is arranged in the outer slide rail 12, the inner slide rail 13 is of a plate-shaped structure and extends into a space between the first group of balls and the second group of balls from a retainer opening of the ball retainer 15, one side of the inner slide rail 13, which is close to the first group of balls, is in contact with the first group of balls and is provided with a third rolling surface matched with the first group of balls, and the first group of balls can roll on the third rolling surface along a first direction; one side of the inner slide rail 13 close to the second group of balls is in contact with the second group of balls, and is provided with a fourth rolling surface matched with the second group of balls, and the second group of balls can roll on the fourth rolling surface along the first direction.

That is, the inner slide rail 13 and the outer slide rail 12 are clamped on both sides of the ball 14. Here, the first rolling surface, the second rolling surface, the third rolling surface, and the third rolling surface may be planes extending in the first direction, or may also be trapezoidal surfaces or arc surfaces that are engaged with the balls 14 and extend in the first direction, and the trapezoidal surfaces or the arc surfaces may prevent the balls 14 from shaking in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

During the sliding process of the inner slide rail 13 relative to the outer slide rail 12 along the first direction, the relative displacement is generated by the rolling of the ball 14, and during the rolling process of the ball 14 relative to the inner slide rail 13 and the outer slide rail 12, the ball retainer 15 is also pushed to slide relative to the outer slide rail 12 along the first direction, and the moving direction of the ball retainer 15 and the inner slide rail 13 relative to the outer slide rail 12 is the same.

The lifting slide plate 10 completes the sliding along the first direction through the lifting slide rails 7 on the two sides.

Slide rail set spare 11 sets up behind the stand chamber, and first direction is parallel with vertical direction, and lift slide 10 is relative with the stand opening, and the connecting portion of external seat 5 link to each other with lift slide 10, consequently can realize the slide adjustment of direction of height through slide rail set spare 11. Ideally, the ball retainer 15 and the inner track 13 should be raised and lowered to the top and bottom of the stroke simultaneously. However, in practical application, the lifting slide rail 7 is vertically placed, and the balls 14 and the ball holders 15 are affected by their own weight, so that the balls 14 and the ball grooves are changed from rolling friction to sliding friction and rolling friction, and therefore, in the sliding process relative to the outer slide rail 12, the ball holders 15 reach the bottom end of the stroke in one step and reach the top end of the stroke in the later step than the inner slide rail 13, and therefore, the ball holders 15 and the inner slide rail 13 are unsynchronized when moving to the end point, so that the stroke of the inner slide rail 13 is affected, and the stroke of the inner slide rail 13 is shortened.

In view of this, a compensation part is further provided in the lifting bracket provided in the embodiment of the present application, the compensation part is provided in the ball retainer 15, and is configured to act on the outer slide rail 12 to generate a force capable of balancing the gravity of the balls 14 and the ball retainer 15 during the relative movement with the outer slide rail 12, and the force generated by the compensation part and the outer slide rail 12 and acting on the balls 14 and the ball retainer 15 can counteract the gravity of the balls 14 and the ball retainer 15, so as to prevent the balls 14 and the ball retainer 15 from being influenced by the gravity; the inner slide rail 13 and the ball retainer 15 are made to synchronously reach the formed top and bottom ends during sliding with respect to the outer slide rail 12, thereby improving the problem of affecting the shortening of the stroke of the inner slide rail 13.

It should be noted that, for convenience of description, the acting force generated by the compensating element is equal to the gravity of the ball 14 and the ball retainer 15, but the acting force generated by the compensating element is not limited to be equal to the gravity, and the acting force capable of offsetting or partially offsetting the gravity can be understood as the acting force for balancing the gravity of the ball 14 and the ball retainer 15. However, if the force generated by the compensator is too large, it will also cause the problem that the inner slide rail 13 and the ball retainer 15 are not synchronized due to the same reason as the gravity, and therefore it is necessary to adjust the force generated by the compensator to be equal to or less than the gravity of the balls 14 and the ball retainer 15. Although the force smaller than the weight of the balls 14 and the ball retainers 15 may not completely balance the influence of the weight, the influence of the weight is reduced, and the problem of the stroke shortening of the inner slide 13 can be solved.
