A compression spring 8 is provided on the outer side of the lever body 2. When in use, the upper lever body 2 is pulled upward, the pin shaft 6 compresses the compression spring 8, and the opening between the upper lever body 2 and the fixed jaw 5 is quickly opened. Then the workpiece is placed between the opening and the upper lever body 2 is released. The upper lever body 2 clamps the workpiece downward under the action of the elastic force of the compression spring 8, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly adjusting the opening amount; a locking structure is provided between the locking sleeve 7 and the movable handle 4. When the movable handle 4 is pressed toward the fixed handle 1, the movable handle 4 drives the locking structure to lock the upper lever body 2, thereby locking and maintaining the position of the upper lever body 2, so that when the movable handle 4 is rotated outward, the locking structure releases the upper lever body 2.

[0023] The locking structure comprises a pull rod 9, one end of the pull rod 9 is connected with the movable handle 4 through a second rivet 10, the other end of the pull rod 9 is connected with the upper part of a cam 12 through a rotating shaft 11, the lower part of the cam 12 is connected with one side of the locking sleeve 7 through a third rivet 13, the outer side of the lower part of the cam 12 is provided with an arc-shaped ratchet, a locking block 14 is movably arranged in the locking sleeve 7 between the cam 12 and the upper handle body 2, the locking block 14 is provided with a straight ratchet which is engaged with the arc-shaped ratchet, the locking block 14 is movable in the locking sleeve 7 between the cam 12 and the upper handle body 2, but will not fall off. When the movable handle 4 is pressed towards the fixed handle 1, the movable handle 4 drives the pull rod 9, the pull rod 9 drives the cam 12, and the cam 12 drives the locking block 14 to move towards the upper handle body 2, the gap between the locking block 14 and the upper handle body 2 is gradually reduced, and the upper handle body 2 is gradually locked, when the first rivet 3, the second rivet 10 and the third rivet 13 are located on the same straight line, the locking of the upper handle body 2 can be realized.

[0024] One side of the connecting end of the pull rod 9 and the cam 12 is provided with a screw seat 15, an adjusting screw 16 is screwedly arranged in the screw seat 15, the adjusting screw 16 is matched with the cam 12 and is used for adjusting the locking force, when the front end of the adjusting screw 16 is closer to the cam 12, the rotating angle of the cam 12 is smaller, the moving distance of the locking block 14 driven by the cam 12 is smaller, and the locking force is smaller, on the contrary, when the front end of the adjusting screw 16 is farther away from the cam 12, the rotating angle of the cam 12 is larger, the moving distance of the locking block 14 driven by the cam 12 is larger, and the locking force is larger.
