[0016] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 The present invention is further described:

[0017] A floating mechanism for automatic assembly of a robot comprises a mounting plate 5 and a base plate 1 arranged up and down, a lifting cylinder 8 being fixed at the bottom of the base plate 1, an output end of the lifting cylinder 8 penetrating the base plate 1 and connected to the bottom center of the mounting plate 5, three guide posts 3 distributed in an equilateral triangle are arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 5, the bottom of the guide posts 3 penetrating the base plate 1 and the guide sleeve 2 on the base plate 1, the guide posts 3 and the guide sleeve 2 are slidably matched to accurately guide the up and down movement of the mounting plate 5, a limiting pad 4 is arranged at the bottom of the guide post 3, the limiting pad 4 is used to limit the maximum stroke of the guide post 3, so that the height of the mounting plate 5 is consistent each time, and four steel ball rollers 6 and two limiting pins 7 for positioning the assembly jig 9 are arranged on the mounting plate 5, the four steel ball rollers 6 are located at the four corners of the mounting plate 5 in the direction, and the two limiting pins 7 are located in the middle of both sides of the mounting plate 5. A blocking cylinder 11 is fixed to the side of the base plate 1 , and the blocking working end at the top of the blocking cylinder 11 can move upward to the upper side of the mounting plate 5 . When the assembly jig 9 is transferred to the top of the floating mechanism, it will be blocked by the blocking cylinder 11 .

[0018] The assembly jig 9 is located on the floating return plate 10. The bottom of the floating return plate 10 is provided with an inner concave arc surface that cooperates with the steel ball roller 6. The steel ball roller 6 can roll in any direction. After the assembly is completed, the steel ball roller 6 will roll to the top of the arc of the inner concave arc surface of the floating return plate 10, thereby realizing the precise positioning of the floating return plate 10. The bottom of the floating return plate 10 is provided with a limiting hole that cooperates with the limiting pin 7 to position the floating return plate 10 and prevent the floating return plate 10 from moving after positioning.

[0019] When the assembly jig 9 is transferred to the top of the mounting plate 5, it will be blocked by the blocking cylinder 11, and then the lifting cylinder 8 will lift the mounting plate 5, and the assembly jig 9 will be lifted by the floating return plate 10. When the robot assembles on the assembly jig 9, the assembly jig 9 moves in all directions with the robot assembly. After each assembly is completed, the assembly jig must be put back on the floating mechanism. When putting it back, the steel ball roller 6 will move to the inner arc top of the concave arc surface of the floating return plate 10, so that the assembly jig 9 is accurately returned to the initial state, waiting for the next step of assembly.
