Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air flotation platform technology, and in particular to a modular air flotation platform. Background Technology

[0002] In some product manufacturing industries, such as display screen or semiconductor manufacturing, the precision of the products themselves necessitates high cleanliness and stability requirements for the conveying process. Therefore, non-contact conveying methods, such as air-floating platforms, are typically employed. When the levitation force balances with the workpiece's gravity, the workpiece remains in a stable suspended state. Air-floating conveying avoids direct contact with the workpiece, preventing scratches and ensuring workpiece cleanliness.

[0003] The existing air flotation platform has a single base frame, with wooden planks laid on top to form the main structure, which can be as long as ten to twenty meters. This makes transportation and installation very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a modular air flotation platform that can effectively solve the problem of existing air flotation platforms having a single, integral bottom frame with wooden planks laid on top to form the main structure, which can be as long as ten to twenty meters, making transportation and installation very inconvenient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

A first iron block is fixed in the first groove, and a second iron block is fixed in the second groove. The first groove and the second groove have the same size.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a pushing mechanism, which includes an electric push rod. The electric push rod is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate by a fixing block. A placement plate is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate by a connecting rod. A third groove is provided at the bottom of the placement plate. A first electromagnet is fixed in the third groove. An arc-shaped placement plate is fixed to the top of the placement plate for placing the fixing rod.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing rod is placed behind the arc-shaped placement plate, and the central axis of the fixing rod, the central axis of the first limiting tube, and the central axis of the second limiting tube coincide, so that when the fixing rod is pushed, it can be pushed into the first limiting tube and the second limiting tube.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a pushing mechanism, which includes an electric push rod movably fitted inside two rings. A limiting ring is fitted on the outer wall of the electric push rod near the two rings. Both rings are fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This modular air flotation platform can be disassembled into smaller modular platforms for easy transportation.

[0019] By setting up a pushing mechanism, the fixed rod can be detachably mounted on the modular platform, which facilitates the quick pushing of the fixed rod into the first and second limit tubes to complete the fixation, making the installation of the modular platform more convenient.

[0031] Connector 2 is used to connect modular platform 1;

[0032] The connector 2 includes a first connecting block 201 and a second connecting block 202.

[0037] After the fixing rod 205 is placed on the arc-shaped placement plate 308, the central axis of the fixing rod 205, the central axis of the first limiting tube 203, and the central axis of the second limiting tube 204 coincide, so that when the fixing rod 205 is pushed, it can be pushed into the first limiting tube 203 and the second limiting tube 204.

[0038] The pushing mechanism is detachably installed in the first groove 206 or the second groove 207, and is fixed by the first electromagnet 307 and the first iron block 208 or the second iron block 209;

[0039] During installation, the fixing rod 205 is placed in the arc-shaped placement groove 308, the electric push rod 301 extends, and the electric push rod 301 drives the fixing rod 205 to move, so that the fixing rod 205 gradually moves into the first limiting tube 203 and the second limiting tube 204, and then the fixing rod is limited by the limiting strip to complete the fixing.

[0040] After installing one, remove the pushing mechanism and place it into another first groove 206 or second groove 207 to fix the next connector 2.

[0041] Example 2

The first connecting block 201 and the second connecting block 202 are connected by a fixing rod 205, which is inserted into the first limiting tube 203 and the second limiting tube 204.

[0046] A modular platform 1 is provided with a plurality of first connecting blocks 201 spaced apart, and a modular platform 1 adjacent to it is provided with a plurality of second connecting blocks 202 spaced apart.

[0047] A first groove 206 is provided on the bottom of the modular platform 1 near the first connecting block 201, and a second groove 207 is provided on the bottom of the modular platform 1 near the second connecting block 202.
