Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating module technology, specifically to a floating module for industrial production. Background Technology
[0002] In automated industrial production, floating modules are commonly used for workpiece positioning and assembly docking. They need to possess flexible multi-directional floating capabilities and precise positioning switching functions to adapt to positional deviation compensation during workpiece processing. Currently, floating modules used in the industry have significant shortcomings: traditional floating modules are mostly single-directional floating structures, unable to achieve multi-dimensional flexible adjustment, and difficult to meet the deviation compensation requirements under complex working conditions; the floating and positioning switching structures of some modules are complex in design, with slow switching response and poor stability, making them prone to positioning misalignment; in addition, most modules lack convenient gap adjustment structures, and after long-term use, the floating accuracy decreases due to component wear, requiring the replacement of the entire component, resulting in high maintenance costs and failing to meet the needs of efficient, precise, and low-cost industrial production operations. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a floating module for industrial production, so as to solve the problems of existing floating modules having a single floating dimension, slow switching response, poor stability, inconvenient gap adjustment, and high maintenance cost.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a floating module for industrial production, including a mounting base and a mounting flange. A steel ball mounting block is provided between the mounting base and the mounting flange. A positioning slider is provided inside the mounting base and a cover plate is provided on the top. A first floating slider and a second floating slider are provided in the internal space of the mounting base and the mounting flange. A first sliding pin is provided inside the steel ball mounting block to fix the first floating slider. A second sliding pin is provided inside the first floating slider to fix the second floating slider. The positioning slider is provided on the second floating slider.
[0005] Furthermore, the first sliding pin passes through the first floating slider, the second sliding pin is connected to the first floating slider, and a first spring is sleeved on the periphery of the tail of both the first and second sliding pins.
[0006] Furthermore, the steel ball mounting block is provided with first placement holes at intervals around its periphery, and steel ball assemblies are provided in some of the placement holes, with a second spring provided on the top of the steel ball assembly; The mounting base is provided with a second placement hole at intervals around its periphery, and the second spring is disposed in the second placement hole.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the second floating slider is connected to the mounting flange, and a set screw is provided at the connection.
[0008] Furthermore, a first O-ring is provided between the cover plate and the mounting base.
[0009] Furthermore, a second O-ring and a positioning bushing are provided between the positioning slider and the mounting base.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Multi-directional flexible floating, adaptable to complex working conditions: By using the first floating slider and the second floating slider in conjunction with the first sliding pin and the second sliding pin, the module can be adjusted to float in different dimensions, which can effectively compensate for the positional deviation of the workpiece in industrial production; the steel ball assembly in the steel ball mounting block cooperates with the second spring to further improve the flexibility and smoothness of floating, avoid jamming, meet the multi-directional deviation compensation requirements under complex working conditions, and improve assembly or positioning accuracy.
[0011] 2. Rapid switching and stable positioning: The positioning bushing and positioning slider inside the mounting base slide together, and rapid switching between floating and positioning states can be achieved through air ventilation control. The switching response is rapid and no complex mechanical operation is required. The first O-ring between the cover plate and the mounting base, and the second O-ring between the positioning slider and the mounting base, ensure the internal sealing performance of the module, prevent dust and impurities from entering and affecting the switching stability, and at the same time improve the structural sealing and stability in the positioning state.
[0012] 3. Convenient adjustment and low-cost maintenance: The set screw at the connection between the second floating slider and the mounting flange can easily adjust the gap between the mounting flange and the steel ball, compensating for component wear after long-term use, without the need to replace the entire component, thus reducing maintenance costs; the first spring at the tail of the first and second sliding pins can provide buffering and restoring force during floating, extending the service life of the components and further reducing the frequency of maintenance.

[0019] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0020] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited.

When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the floating module for industrial production according to this utility model includes a mounting base 1 and a mounting flange 2. A steel ball mounting block 3 is provided between the mounting base 1 and the mounting flange 2. A positioning slider 4 is provided inside the mounting base 1 and a cover plate 5 is provided on the top. A first O-ring 16 is provided between the cover plate 5 and the mounting base 1. A second O-ring 17 and a positioning bushing 18 are provided between the positioning slider 4 and the mounting base 1 (the positioning bushing 18 slides with the positioning slider 4, and the floating state and the positioning state are switched after air is vented). The mounting base 1 and the mounting flange 2 are provided with a first floating slider 6 and a second floating slider 7. The bottom of the second floating slider 7 is connected to the mounting flange 2 and a set screw 15 is provided at the connection point (for adjusting the gap between the mounting flange 2 and the steel ball). The steel ball mounting block 3 is provided with a first sliding pin 8 for fixing the first floating slider 6. The first floating slider 6 is provided with a second sliding pin 9 for fixing the second floating slider 7. The first sliding pin 8 passes through the first floating slider 6 and the second sliding pin 9 is connected to the first floating slider 6. The tail periphery of the first sliding pin 8 and the second sliding pin 9 is sleeved with a first spring 10. The positioning slider 4 is provided on the second floating slider 7. The steel ball mounting block 3 has first placement holes 11 spaced apart around its periphery, with steel ball assemblies 12 placed in some of the placement holes, and a second spring 13 placed on the top of the steel ball assembly 12; the mounting base 1 has second placement holes 14 spaced apart around its periphery, and the second spring 13 is placed in the second placement holes 14.
[0024] The working principle and specific operation procedure of this utility model are as follows: Step 1: Module Installation and Gap Adjustment: Fix the mounting flange 2 at the designated work position of the industrial production equipment. According to the equipment operation requirements, rotate the set screw 15 at the connection between the second floating slider 7 and the mounting flange 2 to adjust the gap between the mounting flange 2 and the steel ball assembly 12 inside the steel ball mounting block 3, ensuring that the gap matches the floating accuracy requirements. Check whether the first O-ring 16 between the cover plate 5 and the mounting base 1 and the second O-ring 17 between the positioning slider 4 and the mounting base 1 are installed in place to ensure the module is sealed inside.
[0025] Step 2: Floating State Switching and Operation: When the module needs to be in a floating state, air is supplied to the mating gap between the positioning sleeve 18 and the positioning slider 4. The air pressure pushes the positioning slider 4 to slide along the positioning sleeve 18, releasing the rigid constraint on the second floating slider 7. At this time, the first floating slider 6 can float along the first sliding pin 8, and the second floating slider 7 can float along the second sliding pin 9. The steel ball assembly 12 rolls flexibly under the action of the second spring 13, realizing multi-directional floating of the module, adapting to workpiece position deviation compensation, and meeting the flexible docking requirements in the assembly or positioning process. The first spring 10 at the tail of the first sliding pin 8 and the second sliding pin 9 can provide buffering during the floating process to avoid collision damage to the parts.
[0026] Step 3: Positioning State Switching and Fixing: When the module needs to be in the positioning state, the air supply to the positioning sleeve 18 is stopped. The positioning slider 4 returns to its initial position under the action of its own structure or the reset component, forming a rigid constraint on the second floating slider 7, restricting the floating of the first floating slider 6 and the second floating slider 7. At the same time, the steel ball assembly 12 remains stable under the action of external pressure or the reset force of the second spring 13, and the module as a whole is in a precise positioning state, ensuring the positional accuracy of subsequent processing or assembly.
[0027] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims.
