[0033] Example 2
[0034] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 3 The X-axis return limit mechanism 9 includes: a buffer sleeve 26, the buffer sleeve 26 is fixedly arranged on the top of the module bottom plate 3, the balance plate 25 and the piston block 29 are arranged in the buffer sleeve 26, and the balance plate 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer sleeve 26, the piston block 29 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the buffer sleeve 26, one end of the guide column 33 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer sleeve 26, and the other end of the guide column 33 movably passes through the piston block 29.
[0035] Preferably, a limiting groove 30 is provided in the piston block 29 , and a pressure sensor 31 is installed in the limiting groove 30 . A limiting rod 34 is provided on the outer wall of the guide column 33 , and a second buffer spring 32 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide column 33 .
[0036] Preferably, the rubber head 19 is connected to the support block 22 through the first connecting rod 20, one end of the second connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the support block 22, the other end of the second connecting rod 23 movably passes through the balance plate 25 and extends into the limiting groove 30 of the piston block 29, the fixed end of the telescopic rod 27 movably passes through the balance plate 25 and is fixedly connected to the piston block 29, the movable end of the telescopic rod 27 is fixedly connected to the support block 22, and the buffer spring 24 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 27.
[0037] Preferably, a magnet 1 21 is provided on a side of the support block 22 away from the first connecting rod 20 , and a magnet 28 is provided on the balance plate 25 .
[0038] Preferably, the X-axis return and limit mechanism 9 and the Y-axis return and limit mechanism 11 have the same structure.
[0039] Preferably, the model of the pressure sensor 31 can be Locar FSR402 or resistive flexible force-sensitive tactile FSR406 / RPF602.
[0040] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the X-axis return limit mechanism 9 and the Y-axis return limit mechanism 11 have the same structure, and the X-axis return limit mechanism 9 and the Y-axis return limit mechanism 11 are respectively installed on the axis of the moving direction of the driving plate 2 18 and the driving plate 1 12, so as to protect the entire floating module. When the floating module is in use, if it moves along the X\Y axis and hits any object\obstacle, the rubber head 19 is subjected to the impact force and pushes the support block 22 and the two sets of second connecting rods 23 to move through the first connecting rod 20. At this time, the telescopic rod 27 contracts while the buffer spring 1 24 is compressed, thereby reducing the initial velocity of the rubber head 19 being hit, and as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, magnet 1 21 and magnet 2 28 have the same magnetic properties in the axial direction, so the existence of magnet 1 21 and magnet 2 28 will generate a thrust on the support block 22 opposite to the impact force, thereby further playing a preliminary buffering role. When the impact is greater than the upper limit that the buffer spring 1 24 and the repulsive force of magnet 1 21 and magnet 2 28 can withstand, the second connecting rod 23 abuts against the pressure sensor 31 along the limit groove 30, and pushes the piston block 29 to slide along the guide column 33 as a whole, thereby compressing the buffer spring 2 32 to play a secondary buffering role. Among them, the setting of the limit rod 34 can prevent the piston block 29 from rotating during movement, and can increase the friction between the piston block 29 and the guide column 33, thereby playing an auxiliary buffering role. The second connecting rod 23 transmits the buffered impact force to the pressure sensor 31. When the data detected by the pressure sensor 31 exceeds the preset range, it will transmit a control signal to the X-axis linear slide 8\Y-axis linear slide 10, thereby controlling the X-axis linear slide 8\Y-axis linear slide 10 to reset, thereby preventing damage to the X-axis floating unit 4\Y-axis floating unit 5.
[0041] By setting the X-axis return limit mechanism 9\Y-axis return limit mechanism 11, it can play a protective role when the floating module moves in multiple directions, and when the moving range deviates, it can be controlled to reset in time, which greatly improves the safety of the floating module.
[0042] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
