[0037] A corresponding hole 205 is formed through the other end of the fixing tube 203, and a limiting ball 207 is connected to the inner wall of the corresponding hole 205 in a limited sliding manner;

[0041] Working principle: when the claw clip on the clamp 201 needs to be replaced, the limiting rod 303 is removed from the limiting hole 304, and the ball is moved manually, and the ball drives the button 202 to extend from the fixed tube 203, and the button 202 extends to drive the connecting spring 204 to rebound, and the connecting spring 204 drives the push rod 206 to return, so that the limiting ball 207 is retracted into the corresponding hole 205, and the claw clip is not limited, and the claw clip is removed from the clamp 201.
