[0021] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A connecting structure capable of achieving floating connecting rod includes a locking nut 1, a spiral groove 13 being provided on the inner wall of the locking nut 1, a driving rod 2 being installed inside the locking nut 1, a spiral pattern being provided on the outer side of the driving rod 2 to match the spiral groove 13, the driving rod 2 being spirally connected to the locking nut 1 via the spiral pattern, a movable groove 21 being provided inside the driving rod 2, a guide shaft 5 being slidably installed in the movable groove 21, the guide shaft 5 being connected to the extension rod 3, the top of the extension rod 3 being matched with the inner cavity of the locking nut 1;

[0024] A base 4 is mounted on one end of the movable groove 21 .

[0025] Specifically, when a rotational force is applied to the drive rod 2, the spiral pattern on the outside of the drive rod 2 fits in with the spiral groove 13 on the inner wall of the locking nut 1, and the drive rod 2 will generate axial movement relative to the locking nut 1 under the action of the spiral. During this process, the distance between the drive rod 2 and the extension rod 3 is constantly adjusted. When the drive rod 2 and the extension rod 3 fit tightly together, the extension rod 3 can be prevented from floating. When there is a certain distance between the drive rod 2 and the extension rod 3, the extension rod 3 has a certain floating space. When the extension rod 3 is connected to the external connecting rod, the up and down movement of the extension rod 3 will achieve corresponding floating with the connecting rod. By controlling the rotation direction and angle of the drive rod 2, the floating distance of the extension rod 3 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving flexible adjustment of the floating amplitude of the connecting rod, reducing the hard contact between the connecting rod and other components, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of the mechanical components.

[0026] The base 4 acts as a buffer. Without the buffer, stress concentration would occur during the floating movement of the connecting rod due to contact between the guide shaft 5 and the movable groove 21 of the drive rod 2. The buffer evenly distributes and absorbs the force transmitted by the guide shaft 5, preventing stress concentration in a localized area. This improves the component's load-bearing capacity and reliability, reduces wear between the guide shaft 5 and the drive rod 2, and extends the component's service life.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] To fix the floating distance, see Figure 1-Figure 4On the basis of Example 1, the outer side of the locking nut 1 is provided with an anti-slip groove 11, and the locking nut 1 is provided with a mounting groove 12, which is semi-circular in shape, and both ends of the mounting groove 12 are provided with through grooves connected to the inner cavity of the locking nut 1;

[0029] Limiting grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the driving rod 2;

[0030] A stop ring 6 is installed in the mounting groove 12. The stop ring 6 includes two sets of symmetrical connecting rods 62. One end of the connecting rod 62 is fixedly connected to a limit rod 61. The limit rod 61 passes through the through slot and is inserted into the limit slot 22.

[0031] The other end of the connecting rod 62 is fixedly mounted with a connecting groove 63, in which a spring 632 is mounted. The connecting groove 63 is connected to another connecting groove 63 via the spring 632, and an anti-slip groove 631 is provided on the outer side of the connecting groove 63;

[0032] The two groups of connecting rods 62 are connected to form a semicircular ring shape and fit closely with the inner wall of the installation groove 12 .

[0033] Specifically, when the driving rod 2 rotates and drives the extension rod 3 to move to the desired floating position, the limiting rods 61 in the stop ring 6 pass through the through slots at both ends of the mounting slot 12 and are inserted into the limiting slots 22 on both sides of the driving rod 2, thereby limiting the rotation of the driving rod 2 and preventing the driving rod 2 from further axial movement, thereby fixing the position of the driving rod 2 and achieving a fixed floating distance of the connecting rod;

[0034] When installing the retaining ring 6, when the semicircular ring structure composed of the two groups of connecting rods 62 is placed into the installation groove 12 and the limiting rod 61 is aligned with the limiting groove 22, the spring 632 is in a stretched state. This is because the distance between the connecting grooves 63 makes it difficult to insert the limiting rod 61 from both sides of the locking nut 1 into the limiting groove 22 in the natural state, so it is necessary to pull the connecting grooves 63 outward to increase the distance between the two limiting rods 61 so that the limiting rod 61 can be smoothly inserted into the limiting groove 22. Once the limiting rod 61 is inserted into the limiting groove 22, the spring 632 generates an inward elastic force due to being stretched. This elastic force will cause the two groups of connecting rods 62 to tend to approach each other, thereby driving the limiting rod 61 to press tightly against the inner wall of the limiting groove 22. This pre-tightening force ensures that the limiting rod 61 can be firmly maintained in the limiting groove 22 under normal conditions, preventing it from accidentally falling out due to slight vibration or shaking;

[0035] The two sets of connecting rods 62 are connected in a semicircular ring shape and fit closely to the inner wall of the mounting groove 12. This fit allows the stop ring 6 to maintain a stable position in the mounting groove 12, preventing it from rotating or shifting easily. The second anti-slip groove 631 on the outside of the connecting groove 63 increases the friction when the operator operates the stop ring 6, thereby facilitating the separation of the connecting groove 63. The first anti-slip groove 11 facilitates the operator to secure the lock nut 1, thereby controlling the rotation of the drive rod 2.

[0036] Working principle: When the equipment is in use and the floating distance needs to be adjusted, the operator controls the two connecting grooves 63 to separate through the anti-slip groove 2 631, and then drives the limit rod 61 to disengage from the limit groove 22 through the connecting rod 62, and takes out the stop ring 6. Then, with the assistance of the anti-slip groove 11, when the driving rod 2 is rotated, the axial movement is generated due to the spiral fit, and the distance between the driving rod 2 and the extension rod 3 changes. When the distance is zero, the extension rod 3 has no floating. If there is a distance, there is floating space. After being connected to the external connecting rod, the connecting rod can be driven to float. When the driving rod 2 is rotated to make the extension rod 3 reach the predetermined floating position, the stop ring 6 is placed in the installation groove 12, and the stretching spring 632 increases the distance between the limit rod 61 and inserts it into the limit groove 22. The rebound force of the spring 632 makes the limit rod 61 close to the inner wall of the limit groove 22, fixing the position of the driving rod 2 and preventing the driving rod 2 from rotating again, thereby achieving the fixing of the floating distance of the connecting rod. The fit of the stop ring 6 and the installation groove 12 and the anti-slip groove can keep it stable, which is convenient for operation and control.

[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention.
