[0016] 5. The self-sealing clamp device is used for the raw material conveying pipeline. By setting up a supporting mechanism, the plunger is inserted into the casing, and then the screw sleeve is tightened onto the plunger. In this way, the supporting mechanism can be installed on the clamp. The bidirectional screw is rotated to make the movable blocks move closer to each other, and the support rod is moved closer in the vertical direction, so that the pad moves downward until the bottom of the pad is close to the ground.
