[Prior Art] The principle of the ball screw is the right monument. ^The steel ball is added between the screw # and the nut to roll the steel ball. The sliding friction drive of the ACME screw is used to reduce the friction.仏 ^ ^ ' 'Helps to maintain high efficiency and high precision. The use of the balls makes the movement of the screw smoother. However, the adjacent balls easily collide with each other and give a large noise during the rolling process. Such collisions shorten the life of the balls, which in turn affects the life of the entire screw device. In order to improve this problem, the prior art proposes a device for fixing a ball and bead by a chain. The US Patent No. 5,993,064 further provides an improved ball chain which is made of a material having elasticity and The four-belt fixed ball is surrounded by the ball so that the chain can be freely bent in any direction, and the ball is still fixed at the same position. The ball chain can be applied to devices such as linear slides and ball screws. However, in the ball screw module, it is necessary to provide a circulation path for guiding the balls back into the spiral groove to form a continuously circulating roll 3 [s] 1342367 bead track. When using a ball chain, when the above-mentioned circulation path is passed, the chain must change the direction of motion to form a reflow. However, if the circulation path is not well designed, it is difficult for the chain to smoothly pass and change the direction of travel, so that the conventional design causes the chain to break due to improper twisting and pulling. The aforementioned U.S. Patent No. 5,993,064 discloses that the ball chain can be applied to the screw device and that a circulation device is provided in the nut for the ball chain to recirculate. However, there is no mention of how to smoothly pass the ball chain through the circulation device. In the practical application, since the two sides of the chain enter the circulation device from the spiral track, three-dimensional rotation will be carried out. If the rotation path is not designed with a special angle, the inner side of the chain will be squeezed, and the outer side will be squeezed. Being pulled, the sides are broken due to the difference in the amount of deformation. Therefore, although linear slides with ball chains are currently on the market, ball screws with ball chains have not been designed and manufactured. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Based on the problems of the above-described conventional techniques, the inventors of the present invention have succeeded in research and improvement, and the invention of the following inventions can be finally achieved. That is, the primary object of the present invention is to design a circulation path for a transmission element that allows the chain to run smoothly. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a chain transmission component comprising: a screw having a spiral rolling groove on its outer edge; 4 [s] 1342367, when the chain is on the return path, The connecting portions are respectively received in the first guiding channel and the second guiding channel, and the chain is twisted by the guiding of the first guiding channel and the second guiding channel; It is placed in the accommodating space as a transmission medium between the screw and the nut.
