[0031] Working principle of the present invention:

[0032] When the pin 3 needs to be inserted into the inner cavity of the needle seat 7, the control connecting piece 1 is moved close to the connecting piece 2 9. At this time, the needle seat 7 will apply a force in the opposite direction to the protective plate 47, so that the protective plate 47 drives the connecting rod 45 fixedly connected thereto to move. When the connecting rod 45 moves, it will drive the rotating sleeve 42 to rotate under the spiral action of the spiral pattern 46, so that the rotating sleeve 42 drives the active cone wheel 513 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. When the active cone wheel 513 rotates, it will drive the driven cone wheel 512 meshed with it to rotate, so that the driven cone wheel 512 drives the fixedly connected The driving rod 511 rotates, and when the driving rod 511 rotates, it drives the driving wheel 510 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, so that the driving wheel 510 drives the driven wheel 58 to rotate through the belt 59. When the driven wheel 58 rotates, it drives the driving shaft 57 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, so that the driving shaft 57 drives the threaded rod 52 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. When the threaded rod 52 rotates, it drives the threaded sleeve 53 threadedly connected thereto to move, so that the threaded sleeve 53 drives the clamping plate 54 fixedly connected thereto to move, and when the clamping plate 54 moves, it clamps the connecting frame 6.

[0033] When the connecting member 1 moves closer to the connecting member 2 9, the rack 81 will drive the gear 82 meshing with it to rotate, so that the gear 82 drives the latch 85 to move upward, so that the latch 85 drives the connecting plate 86 fixedly connected to it to move upward, and when the connecting plate 86 moves, it will drive the connecting shaft 87 fixedly connected to it to move, so that the connecting shaft 87 drives the fixed plate 812 fixedly connected to it to move synchronously, and when the fixed plate 812 moves, it will compress the spring 2 810 fixed to it. When the pin 3 is fully in contact with the needle seat 7, the fixed plate 812 will move downward due to the elastic force of the spring 2 810, so that the latch 85 is stuck on the gear 82, preventing the connecting member 1 and the connecting member 2 9 from moving relative to each other;

[0034] When the device needs to be disassembled, it is only necessary to control the handle 811 to move upward, so that the handle 811 drives the movable rod 89 fixedly connected to it to move upward. When the movable rod 89 moves, it drives the fixed plate 812 fixedly connected to it to move, so that the latching tooth 85 is disengaged from the gear 82. At this time, the connecting rod 45 will move outward due to the elastic force of the spring 1 43, so that the connecting rod 45 drives the protective plate 47 fixedly connected to it to move synchronously, thereby making the protective plate 47 protect the pin 3. When the connecting rod 45 moves, it will drive the rotating sleeve 42 rotatably connected to it to reverse, so that the rotating sleeve 42 drives the active conical wheel 513 fixedly connected to it to rotate, and when the active conical wheel 513 rotates, it will drive the driven conical wheel 512 threadedly connected to it to rotate, so that the clamping plate 54 moves to the initial position to release the clamping of the connecting frame 6.
