[0025] Specifically, a pair of guide rail sliding block assembly one 11 is fixedly installed on the support column 1, the lower end of the intermediate slide plate 14 is connected with the sliding block of the guide rail sliding block assembly one 11, the upper end of the intermediate slide plate 14 is connected with the guide rail of a pair of guide rail sliding block assembly two 9, the upper slide plate 8 is further connected with the sliding block of a pair of guide rail sliding block assembly two 9, and the clamp bearing plate 2 is fixedly installed on the upper slide plate 8, so that the clamp bearing plate 2 can move freely in the horizontal direction equivalent to the support column 1.

[0026] Meanwhile, a pair of transverse spring floating assemblies 12 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the middle slide plate 14. The two ends of the transverse spring floating assemblies 12 are respectively connected to transverse limiting plates 6, and the transverse limiting plates 6 are located on the left and right sides of the middle slide plate 14.

The two ends of the longitudinal spring floating assemblies 15 are respectively connected to longitudinal limiting plates 7, and the longitudinal limiting plates 7 are located on the front and rear sides of the upper slide plate 8, so that the clamp bearing plate 2 floats in the horizontal direction within the set limit range.

[0027] The transverse spring floating assembly 12 and the longitudinal spring floating assembly 15 each include a four-sided guide sleeve 21, a pair of compression springs 22, a pair of guide bolts 23, and an adjusting nut. The four-sided guide sleeve 21 is provided with a screw hole for fixed connection with the intermediate slide plate 14 or the upper slide plate 8. The four-sided guide sleeve 21 is also provided with blind mounting holes at both ends. The compression springs 22 are fixedly connected to the corresponding blind mounting holes and guide bolts 23 respectively. The guide bolts 23 are connected to the transverse limiting plate 6 or the longitudinal limiting plate 7 through the adjusting nut. By rotating the adjusting nut, the relative position between the transverse limiting plate 6 and the intermediate slide plate 14 or the longitudinal limiting plate 7 and the upper slide plate 8 is adjusted, the initial position of the clamp bearing plate 2 relative to the support column 1 is adjusted, and the floating range of the entire floating mechanism is controlled.
