[Technical effect of this creative embodiment]

In summary, the linear slide rail 100 disclosed in this creative embodiment can pass the structural design of the oil guide path 43 of the end cover 4 and the oil guide groove 332 of the sleeve 3 and the cooperation relationship between each other. When the lubricating oil (such as ball lubricating oil) is injected into the oil guide path 43 of the end cap 4, the lubricating oil can further enter the inside of the sleeve 3 through the oil guide groove 332 of the sleeve 3, thereby balancing the lubricant at the end. The pressure in the cover 4 effectively prevents the lubricant from being continuously injected into the end cover 4 or the end cover 4 is detached from the slider 2 (that is, oil explosion) due to the excessive pressure of the lubricant.

Furthermore, the linear slide rail 100 disclosed in this creative embodiment can pass the structural design of the coupling rib 42 of the end cap 4 and the coupling recess 54 of the circulation seat 5 and the cooperation relationship with each other, so that the end cap The gap or high-low gap of the joint between 4 and the circulation seat 5 can be effectively eliminated (that is, the jump point of the joint between the end cover 4 and the circulation seat 5 can be effectively eliminated), so that the rolling unit 6 The linear slide rail 100 can roll smoothly and smoothly.

In addition, the linear slide rail 100 disclosed in this creative embodiment can pass the structural design of the connection portion 52 of the circulation seat 5 and the end of the sleeve 3 and the cooperation relationship with each other, so that the sleeve 3 can When too many fixing elements (such as screws) are needed, they are cleverly fixed on the slider 2, thereby effectively improving the overall tightness of the device, improving the assembly convenience of the device, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the device.

The above is only a preferred and feasible embodiment of this creation, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this creation. Any equal changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of patent application for this creation Decorations should fall within the protection scope of this creation.
