The three third fixed frames are arranged in a circular array around the center of the second fixed frame. A second slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the third fixed frame. A spring is installed at the end of the second slider away from the center of the second fixed frame. The end of the spring away from the second slider is installed on the inner wall of the third fixed frame. A second sliding rod is installed at the end of the second slider near the center of the second fixed frame. The end of the second sliding rod away from the second slider passes through the side wall of the third fixed frame and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed block via a hinge.

The end of the second sliding rod 18 away from the second slider 20 passes through the side wall of the third fixing frame 19 and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixing block 4 via a hinge.

[0029] In use, the mounting plate 1 is moved onto the product by a robotic arm or other mobile device, and the guide cover 6 is fitted onto the product positioning post. Then, the mounting plate 1 is moved closer to the product, and the mounting plate 1 drives the second fixing frame 9, the fixing block 4, the clamping cylinder 5, and the guide cover 6 to move.

[0032] After the clamping cylinder 5 is fitted onto the product positioning post, the electric push rod 25 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 25 pushes the third slider 24 to move. The third slider 24 drives the clamping plate 23 to move. The clamping plate 23 passes through the opening 22 to clamp and fix the product positioning post inside the clamping cylinder 5. Then, the electromagnet 15 is activated. Under the action of magnetic force, the electromagnet 15 is attracted and fixed to the side wall of the mounting plate 1. At the same time, the electromagnet 15 drives the first slide rod 28 to move. The first slide rod 28 drives the first slider 27 to move. The first slider 27 stretches the tension spring 26, thereby fixing the clamping cylinder 5.

[0033] The connecting mechanism includes a hexagonal nut 12. The mounting plate 1 and the first friction pad 2 are provided with a plurality of square through holes 3. A third friction pad 16 is installed at one end of the second fixing frame 9 near the mounting plate 1.

[0034] In use, select the corresponding number of second fixing frames 9 according to the distribution of the product positioning columns, then insert the square insert 10 on the second fixing frame 9 into the square through hole 3 at the corresponding position, and then connect the hexagonal nut 12 to the side wall of the threaded rod 11 by threaded rotation. Rotate the hexagonal nut 12, and the hexagonal nut 12 will drive the support cylinder 13 to move until the support cylinder 13 presses against the side wall of the mounting plate 1, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the second fixing frame 9 on the mounting plate 1.

[0035] Working principle of an adaptive product floating clamping device:

[0036] Before use, select the corresponding number of second fixing frames 9 according to the distribution of the product positioning columns, then insert the square insert 10 on the second fixing frame 9 into the square through hole 3 at the corresponding position, and then connect the hexagonal nut 12 to the side wall of the threaded rod 11 by threaded rotation. Rotate the hexagonal nut 12, and the hexagonal nut 12 will drive the support cylinder 13 to move until the support cylinder 13 presses against the side wall of the mounting plate 1, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the second fixing frame 9 on the mounting plate 1.

[0037] In use, the mounting plate 1 is moved onto the product by a robotic arm or other mobile device, and the guide cover 6 is fitted onto the product positioning post. Then, the mounting plate 1 is moved closer to the product, and the mounting plate 1 drives the second fixing frame 9, the fixing block 4, the clamping cylinder 5, and the guide cover 6 to move. The inclined surface of the guide cover 6 moves along the product positioning post, the guide cover 6 drives the clamping cylinder 5 to move, the clamping cylinder 5 drives the fixing block 4 to move, the fixing block 4 drives the second sliding rod 18 to swing and extend, the second sliding rod 18 drives the second slider 20 to move along the inner wall of the third fixing frame 19, and the second sliding rod 18 drives the third fixing frame 19 to swing, so that the clamping cylinder 5 is fitted onto the product positioning post.

[0038] Then, the electric push rod 25 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 25 pushes the third slider 24 to move. The third slider 24 drives the clamping plate 23 to move. The clamping plate 23 passes through the opening 22 to clamp and fix the product positioning post inside the clamping cylinder 5. Then, the electromagnet 15 is activated. Under the action of magnetic force, the electromagnet 15 is attracted and fixed on the side wall of the mounting plate 1. At the same time, the electromagnet 15 drives the first slide rod 28 to move. The first slide rod 28 drives the first slider 27 to move. The first slider 27 stretches the tension spring 26, thereby fixing the clamping cylinder 5.

[0039] Then, the mounting plate 1 is moved by a robotic arm or other mobile device. The mounting plate 1 will move the second fixing frame 9, the fixing block 4, the clamping cylinder 5, the first fixing frame 8, and the fixing cylinder 7 together. The clamping cylinder 5 will move the product positioning column and the product together.
