[0027] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the accompanying drawings, the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in this specification are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and to provide a clear understanding. They are not intended to limit the scope of this invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the use of terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" in this specification is solely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0028] The controllable constant force floating unit in this embodiment includes a fixed frame, a floating structure mounted on the fixed frame, and a limiting structure for preventing overcutting during workpiece grinding.

[0029] The floating structure in this embodiment includes a floating cylinder 4, a floating swing arm 5, and a grinding wheel 6. The cylinder barrel of the floating cylinder 4 is mounted on a fixed frame, the piston rod of the floating cylinder 4 is in contact with one end of the floating swing arm 5, the grinding wheel 6 is mounted on the other end of the floating swing arm 5, the middle part of the floating swing arm 5 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame, and a limiting frame 7 for limiting one end of the floating swing arm 5 is mounted on the cylinder barrel of the floating cylinder 4.

[0030] The fixed frame in this embodiment includes a support 1, a bracket 2 and a support arm 3. The bracket 2 is fixed to the support 1, the support arm 3 is fixed to the bracket 2, the cylinder of the floating cylinder 4 is mounted on the support 1, and the middle part of the floating swing arm 5 is rotatably mounted on the support arm 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the limiting structure is installed on the floating swing arm 5. The limiting structure includes a limiting frame 8, a limiting shaft 9, an adjusting rod 10, an adjusting seat 11, and an abutment block 12. The adjusting seat 11 is installed on the floating swing arm 5, the limiting frame 8 is installed on the adjusting seat 11 via the limiting shaft 9, the abutment block 12 is installed on the adjusting seat 11, the adjusting rod 10 is installed on the limiting frame 8 and abuts against the abutment block 12, and a limiting rod 13 is provided on the limiting frame 8.

[0032] The belt sander in this embodiment includes a frame 14, a drive wheel 15, a tension wheel 16, a guide wheel 17, a sanding belt 18, and a controllable constant force floating unit. The drive wheel 15, tension wheel 16, guide wheel 17, and controllable constant force floating unit are all mounted on the frame 14. The drive wheel 15, tension wheel 16, guide wheel 17, and controllable constant force floating unit are driven by the sanding belt 18, and the sanding belt 18 can be directed in different directions depending on the installation position of the guide wheel 17.

[0033] Specifically, when the belt sander is working, the drive wheel 15 drives the sanding belt 18 to pass through the tension wheel 16, guide wheel 17, and controllable constant force floating unit. When sanding a workpiece, the robot holds the workpiece and places it on the sanding wheel 6, which is in contact with the sanding belt 18. When the workpiece is in contact with the sanding belt 18, the sanding wheel 6 can provide support. The floating arm 5 is controlled to swing by the floating cylinder 4, which ensures that the sanding wheel 6 can provide a constant support force when the workpiece is in contact with the sanding belt 18. "Controllable" means that the force applied by the floating cylinder 4 can be controlled. The diameter of the sanding wheel 6 is usually 100-380mm. For example, this controllable constant force floating unit can be used when sanding the outer wall of the rear swingarm of a motorcycle.

[0034] The limiting frame 8 can limit the workpiece when it comes into contact with the sanding belt 18, preventing overcutting. Since the adjusting rod 10 abuts against the abutting block 12, the angle of the limiting frame 8 can be adjusted by turning the adjusting rod 10, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the position of the limiting frame 8 relative to the grinding wheel 6. During grinding, the limiting frame 8 can limit the workpiece to prevent overcutting.

[0035] 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 are included within the protection scope of this utility model.
