[0028] The up-and-down floating swing arm in the embodiment includes a swing arm base 1, a swing arm mechanism 3 in contact with the abrasive belt 4 and playing a supporting role on the workpiece during polishing, and a floating mechanism 2 for applying a supporting force to the swing arm mechanism 3 when the workpiece contacts the abrasive belt 4 outside the swing arm mechanism 3 during polishing. The floating mechanism 2 and the swing arm mechanism 3 are both installed on the swing arm base 1, and the floating mechanism 2 cooperates with the swing arm mechanism 3.
[0029] The swing arm mechanism 3 in the embodiment includes a swing arm body 31, a swing arm rotating shaft 32, a swing arm limiting seat 33, a supporting shaft 35 and a supporting wheel 36. The swing arm body 31 is installed on the swing arm base 1 through the swing arm rotating shaft 32. The swing arm limiting seat 33 is installed at one end of the swing arm body 31. The supporting wheel 36 is installed at the other end of the swing arm body 31 through the supporting shaft 35.
[0030] The floating mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes a floating top rod 25 and a floating limit seat 26. The floating top rod 25 is mounted on the swing arm base 1, and the floating limit seat 26 is mounted on one end of the floating top rod 25 and cooperates with the swing arm limit seat 33. The other end of the floating top rod 25 cooperates with the force application mechanism. A floating limit wheel 27 is mounted on the floating limit seat 26, and a swing arm limit groove 34 is provided on the swing arm limit seat 33. The floating limit wheel 27 is located in the swing arm limit groove 34.
[0031] The force-applying mechanism in this embodiment includes a floating push rod 22, a floating rotating shaft 23, and a floating roller 24. The floating push rod 22 is mounted on the swing arm base 1 via the floating rotating shaft 23. The floating roller 24 is mounted on the lower end of the floating push rod 22 and is engaged with the other end of the floating top rod 25. The upper end of the floating push rod 22 is in contact with the piston rod of the floating cylinder 21. The cylinder of the floating cylinder 21 is mounted on the swing arm base 1.
[0032] In this embodiment, the swing arm base 1 is installed on the belt sander, and two guide wheels 11 are installed on the swing arm base 1. The support wheel 36 is located between the two guide wheels 11, and the sanding belt 4 passes around the support wheel 36 and the two guide wheels 11.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the workpiece contacts the lower part of the sanding belt 4 on the outer side of the support wheel 36, the swing arm body 31 swings upward; when the workpiece contacts the upper part of the sanding belt 4 on the outer side of the support wheel 36, the swing arm body 31 swings downward.
[0034] The working method of the up-and-down floating swing arm in this embodiment is as follows: In the initial state (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown), the support wheel 36 tightens the sand belt 4. Under the action of the floating cylinder 21, the floating push rod 22 is pushed to swing along the floating shaft 23, which in turn causes the floating roller 24 to push the floating top rod 25. The floating top rod 25 drives the floating limit wheel 27 on the floating limit seat 26 to push the swing arm limit seat 33, thereby making the swing arm body 31 in a horizontal state.
[0035] When the workpiece contacts the lower part of the outer sanding belt 4 of the support wheel 36 (e.g. Figure 2 As shown), at this time, the workpiece pushes the support wheel 36 upward, causing the swing arm body 31 to swing along the swing arm pivot 32. Due to the swing of the swing arm body 31, the swing arm limit seat 33 can push the floating limit seat 26 backward. At the same time, the floating limit wheel 27 slides in the swing arm limit groove 34, and can then contact the floating roller 24 through the floating top rod 25, and push the floating push rod 22 to swing along the floating pivot 23. In this state, the floating cylinder 21 pushes the floating push rod 22 to swing along the floating pivot 23, thereby achieving a state of force balance.
[0036] When the workpiece contacts the upper part of the outer sanding belt 4 of the support wheel 36 (e.g.)Figure 3 As shown), at this time, the workpiece pushes the support wheel 36 down, causing the swing arm body 31 to swing along the swing arm pivot 32. Due to the swing of the swing arm body 31, the swing arm limit seat 33 can push the floating limit seat 26 backward. At the same time, the floating limit wheel 27 slides in the swing arm limit groove 34, and can then contact the floating roller 24 through the floating top rod 25, and push the floating push rod 22 to swing along the floating pivot 23. In this state, the floating cylinder 21 pushes the floating push rod 22 to swing along the floating pivot 23, thereby achieving a state of force balance.
[0037] Specifically, the floating arm is mounted on a belt sander, and the sanding belt 4 passes around the drive wheel, two guide wheels 11, and support wheel 36 of the belt sander. Initially, the main body 31 of the arm is in a horizontal state. When the robot holds the workpiece and uses the belt sander to grind the workpiece, the workpiece contacts the sanding belt 4 on the outside of the support wheel 36. When the workpiece contacts the lower or upper part of the sanding belt 4 on the outside of the support wheel 36 (during the grinding process), the main body 31 of the arm will tilt. The floating limit seat 26 and the floating push rod 25 will be pushed backward by the arm limit seat 33, so that the floating push rod 25 contacts the floating roller 24. The floating push rod 25 pushes the floating push rod 22 to swing along the floating shaft 23. At this time, the support force provided by the floating push rod 22 pushed by the floating cylinder 21 is equal to the contact force generated when the workpiece contacts the support wheel 36, so as to achieve a state of force balance and avoid overcutting of the workpiece.
[0038] Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ in the shape and name of their components. The above description is merely illustrative of the structure of this utility model. All equivalent or simple variations made based on the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model patent concept are included within the protection scope of this utility model patent. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined in these claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
