Specifically, a first end of the first flexible deflecting piece 6-1 is fixed and wound on the rope base 7, and a second end of the first flexible deflection piece 6-1 is connected to one end of the third flexible deflection member 6-3 via the first connector 9-1, and a second end of the third flexible deflection member 6-3 passes by the roller 5 to connect the second flexible deflection member 6-2 via the second connection member 9-2. A second end of the second flexible deflection member 6-2 is wound and fixedly connected to the rope base 7. All ends of the first flexible deflection member 6-1, the second flexible deflection member 6-2, and the third flexible deflection member 6-3 are connected with fixing blocks 10 Of course, there may be one, two or even more than three flexible deflection members 6, and they may not be connected by connecting members, as long as the flexible deflection member 6 can be fixed to the sliding rail 4 and the fixed rail 2 in other ways.

[0022] Further, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 7, the rope base 7 is cylindrical and the rope base 7 is provided with a spiral groove 12, and the flexible deflection member 6 is wound around the rope base 7 according to the rotation path of the spiral groove 12; wherein a length of the flexible deflection member 6 wounded on the rope base 7 is greater than or equal to a length of the flexible deflection member 6 pulled out of the rope base 7, that is, when the flexible deflection member 6 is fully pulled out, its pulled-out section can no longer be wound around the rope base 7 and only connected to the rope base 7, and there may also be a part of the flexible deflection member 6 wounded on the rope base 7. Specifically, the outlets 12a and 12b at the two ends of the spiral groove 12 are provided with fixed grooves 11, fixing grooves 11 are respectively provided on both middle portions of first connector 9-1 and the second connector 9-2; and two sides of the fixing grooves 11 of the first connector 9-1 and the second connector 9-2 extend to form grooves 11-1 matching with the size of the flexible deflection piece 6. A first end of the first flexible deflector 6-1 is installed in a first fixing groove 12a on the rope base 7 through a fixing block 10; a second end of the first flexible deflector 6-1 and a first end of the third flexible deflector 6-3 are installed in the fixing groove 11 on the first connector 9-1 through a fixing block; and a second end of the third flexible deflector 6-3 and a first end of the second flexible deflector 6-2 are installed in the fixing groove 11 of the second connector 9-2 through fixing block and a second end of the second flexible deflector 6-2 is installed in a second fixing groove 12b of the rope base 7 through the fixing block 10.

[0023] The flexible deflector is specifically a rope. The protrusion 10 is inserted into the fixing groove 11 by pulling the flexible deflection member 6. At this time, the flexible deflection member 6 shrinks, and the flexible deflection member 6 is always in a tensioned state by the pulling force of the rope. Not only is the flexible deflection element 6 easy to install, but the flexible deflection element 6 can be tensioned through a simple structure, and that in the actual installation process, a deviation of an actual distance and a theoretical distance between the two slide rail assemblies 1a, 1b won't affect the tightness of the flexible deflector 6 and does not need to be adjusted. In addition, the connecting rod 8 is clamped with the rope base 7. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the connection 7-3 on the rope base 7 protrudes and has connecting hole 7-4. The connecting hole 7-4 is flat and matches with the shape of the connecting end 8-1 of the connecting rod 8. The connecting end 8-1 of the connecting rod 8 extends into the connecting hole 7-4, so as to be clamped with the rope base 7, so that the actual distance between the two slide rail assemblies 1a, 1b can be adjusted to adjust the distance between the connecting end 8-1 of the connecting rod 8 inserting in a connection portion 7-3 of the rope base 7 to make axial adjustment. At the same time, rope base 7 drives the connecting rod 8 to rotate in a circumferential direction can be ensured as well.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 4, FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, the rope base 7 is covered with a socket 13, the socket 13 wraps the rope base 7, and the socket 13 is provided with a flexible deflector inlet 14 to prevent the wear of foreign objects, it can play the role of guiding and protecting the rope base 7 and the flexible deflection member 6. Specifically, the contact side of the socket 13 and the intermediate rail 3 is provided with a first hook-shaped connecting member 13-1. The connector 13-1 is clamped with the hole on the middle rail 3; the contact side of the socket 13 and the rope base 7 is provided with a connecting protrusion 13-2, and the connecting protrusion 13-2 is provided with a protrusion 13-3 which is configured to clamp with the second hook-shaped connector 7-1 in the groove on the side of the rope base 7.

[0025] Further, the front end of the first hook-shaped connector 13-1 is provided with an inclined surface with a thin front and a thick rear surface, and the rear end of the inclined surface is provided with a first clamping groove 13-11, and through slots 13-12 are provided on a middle portion of the first hook-shaped connector 13-1, so that the first hook-shaped connector 13-1 can be easily inserted into the hole on the middle rail 3, and when it needs to be disassembled, press the upper and lower ends of the first hook-shaped connector 13-1, it can be separated from the middle rail 3, which is easy to install and disassemble; the protrusion 13-3 is provided with a front thick and a rear thin slope, and the front end of the protrusion 13-3 is provided with a second clamping groove 13-21, the front end of the a second hook shaped connector 7-1 is provided with an inclined surface that matches with the protrusion 13-3, and the rear end of the inclined surface is a clamping groove, which is matched through the inclined surface of the second hook-shaped connector 7-1 and the inclined surface on the protrusion 13-3 during installation; the second hook-shaped connector 7-1 can be pressed into the second clamping groove 13-21 to complete the installation of the socket 13 and the rope base 7, which is very convenient.

[0026] In addition, a positioning rod 7-2 is provided in the middle of the rope base 7 with a positioning block in the middle of the socket 13, which is convenient for positioning during installation.

[0027] After adopting such a structure, when opened, most of the first flexible deflection member 6-1 wound on the rope base 7 is pulled out by the pulling force of the first connecting member 9-1, and the rope base 7 rotate to receive the second flexible deflector 6-2 into the spiral groove 12; when closed, the first connector 9-1 pulls the third flexible deflector 6-3, and the third flexible deflector 6-3 pulls the second connector 9-2 to pull out the second flexible deflector 6-2 which is mostly wounded on the rope base 7, and the rope base 7 rotates to receive the first flexible deflector 6-1 into the spiral groove 12 at the same time. The connecting rod 8 fixedly connected to the rope base 7 keeps the rope bases 7 on both sides rotating synchronously, and the sliding rail and the intermediate rail are kept in synchronous movement through the function of the flexible deflector 6 to realize the fixed rail 2, the intermediate rail 3 and the sliding rail 4 on the two sets of sliding rail assemblies 1a and 1b all move synchronously; because only the flexible deflector 6, the rope base 7 and the connecting rod 8 are needed to realize the synchronous movement of the two sets of sliding rails 1a and 1b, the structure is simple, and the installation, production, and replacement are convenient; and because the flexible deflection member 6 is wound and connected to the rope base 7 and then connected to the two sets of slide rail assemblies through the connecting rod 8, the flexible deflection member 6 or the connecting rod 8 can be replaced separately during replacement, It is more convenient, and the connecting rod 8 is used as the component connecting the two sets of slide rail assemblies 1a, 1b, which is less prone to wear and has a longer life.
