In this embodiment, the driving rod 7 drives the driving ring 181 to slide toward the driving block 182, and the driving block 182 drives the claw 33 to slide away from the center direction of the claw 33. When the driving rod 7 drives the driving ring 181 to slide in the direction away from the driving block 182, the driving rod 7 is restored under the elastic force of the spring. The spring is arranged in the chuck 32 to connect the chuck 32 and the claw 33. The spring is selected to have a strong elastic force.
