[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without carrying out creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Technologies, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods and equipment should be considered part of the authorization specification.

[0041] The V-shaped floating support device of the present invention comprises: 1: base; 2: stud seat; 3: slide rail seat; 4: slide rail; 5: bracket; 6: nut; 7: spring; 8: cylindrical pin; 9: limit shaft; 10: pin shaft; 11: roller; 12: spring retaining ring; 13: screw; see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 .

[0042] The stud seat 2 is installed in the hole of the base 1. The external thread of the stud seat 2 is set on the outer circle 203. The outer circle 203 of the stud seat 2 is inserted into the hole 101 of the base 1 with a clearance fit. The annular component connected to the outside of the stud seat 2 is the nut 6. The hole 601 of the nut 6 is an internal thread, which cooperates with the external thread of the stud seat 2. The function is: by rotating the nut 6, the stud seat 2 can move axially along the hole 101 of the base 1. A through groove 201 is designed on the right side, and a cylindrical pin 801 is used for positioning to limit the rotation of the stud seat 2 around its own axis. The base 1 is provided with a pin hole 102 for installing the cylindrical pin 801. See Figure 1 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 .

[0043] The rail seat 3 is mated with the stud seat 2. The bottom of the rail seat 3 is supported by a spring 7. A spring mounting hole 304 is provided at the bottom of the rail seat 3. A closed keyway 301 is designed on the left side. A cylindrical pin 802 is used to position the rail seat 3, limiting its movement along the axis within a certain range. The vertical travel of the rail seat 3 is 12 mm, which is used for coarse adjustment of the vertical distance when clamping the workpiece. The stud seat 2 is provided with a pin hole 202 for mounting the cylindrical pin 802. Figure 1 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 .

[0044] A dovetail groove 302 is formed at the upper end of the rail seat 3. The dovetail flange 401 of the rail 4 cooperates with the dovetail groove at the upper end of the rail seat 3. A movable groove 402 is formed on one side of the rail 4. The function of the movable groove 402 is to limit the sliding distance of the rail 4 on the rail seat 3 to the length of the movable groove 402 through the limit shaft 9 installed on the rail seat 3. The rail seat 3 is provided with a mounting hole 303 for mounting the limit shaft 9. The limit shaft 9 includes a connecting portion 901 for connecting to the rail seat 3, a baffle 902 whose rear end is connected to the connecting portion 901 and whose front end extends into the movable groove 402 to limit the sliding distance of the rail 4 along the rail seat 3. Figure 6 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 .

[0045] Four rollers 11 are mounted on two brackets 5, positioned by a pin 10 and secured by a spring retainer 12. The spring retainer 12 is a standard component with a flexible opening. It fits within the annular groove of the pin 10, securing the rollers 11 to the pin 10. The slide rail 4 is equipped with a slideway 403 for mounting the brackets 5. The slideway 403 is formed by two upper and lower flat surfaces and two left and right arcuate surfaces. A bracket 5 is mounted on each end of the slideway 403. The bracket 5 includes a connecting section 51 inserted into the slideway 403 and a roller frame 52 connected to the outer end of the connecting section for mounting the rollers 11. The roller frame 52 is equipped with a pair of rollers 11 for supporting the workpiece. The connecting section 51 is flanked by outer arcuate surfaces 501 that cooperate with the left and right arcuate surfaces of the slideway 403 to adjust the roller angle. The connecting section 51 is provided with multiple parallel stop slots 502. A stop pin 13 is connected to the slide rail 4 to cooperate with the stop slots 502 to limit the axial movement of the bracket 5. The limiting pin 13 has a three-stage stepped structure. The middle stage 131 is a threaded section that cooperates with the threaded hole 404 on the slide rail 4. The front small stage 132 extends into the limiting groove 502 to limit the axial movement of the bracket 5. The rear large stage 133 is provided with a hexagonal hole.

[0046] The bracket 5 is installed in the slide rail 4, and the limiting pin 13 is installed in the threaded hole 404 on the slide rail 4, so that the cylindrical part 132 at the front end of the limiting pin 13 penetrates into the limiting groove 502 of the bracket 5. The limiting groove 502 and the cylindrical part at the front end of the limiting pin 13 are clearance-fitted. At this time, the bracket 5 is fixed in the slideway 403 of the slide rail 4 and cannot move axially, but can only rotate along the axis. The outer arc surface 501 of the bracket 5 contacts the arc surfaces on both sides of the slideway 403 of the slide rail 4, which is a clearance fit. It can rotate along the axis by a certain angle (±15°) to flexibly adjust the roller angle; there are three limiting grooves 502 on the bracket 5. By inserting the cylindrical part at the front end of the limiting pin 13 into different positions of the limiting groove 502, the axial distance between the rollers 11 can be adjusted. Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 .

[0047] like Figure 15 、 16As shown, this V-shaped floating support device mainly uses the elastic force of the spring 7 to move the slide seat 3 up and down to adjust the up and down movement distance of the workpiece; the slide rail 4 is in contact with the arc surface of the slide rail seat 3, and the horizontal position of the workpiece is adjusted by the groove on the slide rail 4; a groove is designed at one end of the bracket 5, which can move horizontally, and the bracket 5 is in contact with the arc of the inner wall of the slide rail 4 to achieve 360° adjustment of the roller. Regardless of whether there is a high point or eccentricity on the outer surface of the shaft part, the workpiece can always be kept in full contact with the four rollers, avoiding vibration due to poor workpiece rigidity during processing.

[0048] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
