The clamp adopts an elastic opening and closing design, and the hook can enter and exit the clamp by lifting and lowering, so as to quickly realize the loading and taking of the hook.

[0012] Furthermore, the hook installation device includes a robot arm, a rotating arm is provided at the end of the robot arm, at least one pneumatic clamp is installed on the rotating arm, and a clamp block is installed on the clamp of the pneumatic clamp. The clamp block closes with the clamp under the drive of the pneumatic clamp to achieve the grabbing of the hook.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating arm is provided with two pneumatic clamps, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating arm, and the installation distance of the pneumatic clamps is equal to the conveying spacing of the hook conveying device and the installation interval of the hook on the truss.
