Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and more specifically, to a floating marking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as furniture manufacturing, machining, and equipment assembly, scribing is a common operation, widely used for positioning marks in parts processing or hole machining, and also for distinguishing between qualified and unqualified products or identifying different production processes. With industrial advancement, traditional manual scribing is gradually being replaced by automation technology. Some scribing needs are met by uploading production information to the network or binding it to product QR codes, while the remaining scribing tasks are gradually being completed by automated equipment.

[0003] Currently, standard ink markers are commonly used as line marking tools due to their ease of purchase and low cost. However, the marker tips are relatively fragile and easily damaged by hard contact. Furthermore, existing line marking mechanisms often involve cumbersome operations when changing markers, making it difficult to quickly adapt to markers with different tip models, further limiting their application range.

[0004] In view of this, the applicant hereby submits this application after studying the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a floating line marking mechanism, which aims to provide a quick way to install or replace marker pens and avoid damage caused by the pen tip making hard contact with the product.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a floating line marking mechanism, including a base, a lower support plate, an upper cover plate, a sliding block, a mounting base, a locking block, a marker pen, and a compression spring. The upper cover plate and the lower support plate are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the base. A sliding groove is provided at the front end of the base, and the sliding block is slidably connected to the sliding groove. The compression spring is abutted between the upper cover plate and the sliding block. The mounting base is fixedly connected to the sliding block. The locking block is hinged to the mounting base, and a mounting hole suitable for installing the marker pen is provided between the locking block and the mounting base.

[0007] As a further optimization, a hinge block is formed on the side end of the mounting base, and a hinge shaft is provided on the hinge block. The locking block is hinged to the hinge block through the hinge shaft.

[0008] As a further optimization, a knob is also included. The lock block is provided with a first connecting hole, and the mounting base is provided with a second connecting hole. The knob is adapted to be threadedly connected to the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole.

[0009] As a further optimization, the slide is designed in a dovetail shape.

[0010] As a further optimization, the sliding block is arranged in an I-shape.

[0011] As a further optimization, the upper end of the sliding block is provided with a groove, and the lower end of the compression spring is adapted to be inserted into the groove.

[0012] As a further optimization, a limiting block is also included, which is installed on the mounting base and located at the upper end of the mounting hole to abut against the marker pen.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The floating function of the marker pen is achieved through the cooperation of the slide, sliding block and compression spring. The overall structure is compact and occupies little space. The elastic adjustment function of the compression spring avoids hard contact between the pen tip and the product, effectively protecting the pen tip and extending the service life of the marker pen.

[0015] 2. The hinged shaft allows the locking block to open and close flexibly, facilitating the replacement of markers. The knob allows for quick access to the mounting holes to replace different models of markers, making operation simple and saving a significant amount of maintenance time.

[0016] 3. By further setting a limiting block at the upper end of the marker, it is prevented from shifting due to vibration or external force during the marking process, thus ensuring stability during operation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Depend on Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a floating marking mechanism, including a base 1, a lower support plate 2, an upper cover plate 3, a sliding block 4, a mounting base 5, a locking block 6, a marker pen 7, and a compression spring 8. The upper cover plate 3 and the lower support plate 2 are respectively bolted to the upper and lower ends of the base 1. A groove 9 is provided at the front end of the base 1, and the sliding block 4 is slidably connected to the groove 9. The compression spring 8 is abutted between the upper cover plate 3 and the sliding block 4. During installation, the lower support plate 2 is fixed first, then the sliding block 4 and the compression spring 8 are installed into the groove 9, and the upper cover plate 3 is fixed, thereby closing the upper and lower ends of the groove 9. Furthermore, the mounting base 5 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 4, and a locking block 6 is also connected to the front end of the mounting base 5. A mounting hole 10 suitable for mounting the marker pen 7 is provided between the locking block 6 and the mounting base 5. The base 1 is driven to move by other driving mechanisms, which will not be described in detail here. When the marking mechanism starts working, the tip of the marker pen 7 contacts the product to be marked and generates pressure under external force. Because of the sliding connection between the sliding block 4 and the groove 9, the sliding block 4 slides upward along the groove 9 under pressure, simultaneously compressing the compression spring 8. The compression stroke of the compression spring 8 varies depending on the magnitude of the reaction force during the marking process. When the marking is completed and the external force disappears, the elastic restoring force of the compression spring 8 pushes the sliding block 4 and the marker 7 back to their original positions. This floating design ensures that the tip of the marker 7 makes full contact with the product surface while avoiding damage to the tip from hard contact, thus significantly extending the lifespan of the marker 7.

[0025] Preferably, a hinge block 11 extends from one end of the mounting base 5, and a hinge shaft 12 is provided on the hinge block 11. The locking block 6 is hinged to the hinge block 11 via the hinge shaft 12. Further, the locking block 6 is provided with a first connecting hole 13, and the mounting base 5 is provided with a second connecting hole 14, both located on the other side of the mounting hole 10. When the mounting hole 10 is closed, the first connecting hole 13 and the second connecting hole 14 are coaxial, allowing for threaded connection via the inserted knob 15, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the locking block 6. When the marker pen 7 needs to be replaced, the locking block 6 can be quickly opened by unscrewing the knob 15 to replace the damaged or different model of marker pen 7, and the locking block 6 can be closed and the marker pen 7 locked by turning the knob 15 again. Compared to the traditional method of fixing with multiple bolts, this embodiment only requires controlling one knob 15 to open and close the locking block 6, which is faster and more convenient. Furthermore, the knob 15 does not need to be completely removed from the locking block 6, reducing the risk of loss.

[0026] Preferably, the slide groove 9 is dovetail-shaped, and the sliding block 4 is adapted to it, so that the sliding block 4 can be limited and slid within the slide groove 9. Furthermore, the sliding block 4 can be correspondingly configured as T-shaped or I-shaped. In this embodiment, the sliding block 4 is configured as I-shaped, thereby having a larger contact area to fix the mounting base 5, making it more stable.

[0027] Preferably, the upper end of the sliding block 4 is provided with a groove 16, and the lower end of the compression spring 8 is adapted to be inserted into the groove 16. In this embodiment, the upper end of the compression spring 8 is fixedly connected to the upper cover plate 3, and the lower end abuts against the sliding block 4 through the groove 16, which can ensure that the compression spring 8 is more stable and not easily bent.

[0028] Preferably, it also includes a limiting block 17, which is installed on the mounting base 5 and located at the upper end of the mounting hole 10 to abut against the marker pen 7. In this embodiment, when installing the marker pen 7, care should be taken to ensure that the upper end of the marker pen 7 abuts against the limiting block 17, thereby limiting the axial position of the marker pen 7, further enhancing the stability between the marker pen 7 and the mounting base 5, and preventing it from loosening or shifting during the marking process.

[0029] The practical applications of floating scribing and marking mechanisms include furniture manufacturing, machining, and equipment assembly. In these fields, scribing is typically used for positioning marks in part processing or hole machining, and can also serve as a distinguishing mark, such as distinguishing between qualified and unqualified products, or marking between production processes. With industrial development, traditional manual scribing and marking processes are gradually being replaced by automated scribing and marking. The floating scribing and marking mechanism provided by this utility model is designed to meet this need. It can directly use a standard ink marker 7 commonly available on the market as the scribing tool, making it convenient to purchase and inexpensive. In addition, the mechanism has a compact structure, occupies little space, and is suitable for scribing needs of products with various shapes and sizes.

[0030] In practical applications, floating marking mechanisms can be widely used in automated production equipment. For example, in an automated production line, a floating marking mechanism can be integrated into the end effector of a robotic arm to automatically mark products of different shapes and sizes. The movement trajectory of the robotic arm is precisely controlled by the control system, while the floating marking mechanism adjusts the position of the marker 7 in real time according to the surface characteristics of the product, thereby achieving efficient and accurate marking operations.

[0031] In summary, this invention achieves the floating function of the marker pen 7 through the cooperation of the sliding groove 9, the sliding block 4, and the compression spring 8, resulting in a compact overall structure with minimal space occupation. The design of the knob 15 and the hinged locking block 6 makes replacing the marker pen 7 simple and quick, with strong compatibility, adaptable to different models of marker pens 7. The elastic adjustment function of the compression spring 8 avoids hard contact between the pen tip and the product, effectively protecting the pen tip and extending the lifespan of the marker pen 7. It has wide applicability and can be widely used in automated production equipment, suitable for marking products of various sizes.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
