The flexible material layer can be coated on the outer side of the free end, or can be sleeved on the outer side of the free end, so as to increase the friction between the side clamp and the clamped target object, and protect the side clamp to avoid corrosion such as H2O2 during disinfection.

[0023] The second clamping component provided in the utility model has a clamping direction different from that of the first clamping component, and can clamp the target object from different directions. For example, if the clamping direction of the first clamping component is horizontal (left-right direction), the clamping direction of the second clamping component can be vertical (up-down direction). When the clamping direction of the second clamping component is vertical, it can also play a role in supporting the target object.
[0024] As a preferred solution, the second clamping assembly includes more than two groups of clamping jaw moving frames and more than two groups of support rods, the clamping jaw moving frame includes a clamping jaw moving frame body and a second sealing assembly fixing plate, a second fixed cavity is provided inside the clamping jaw moving frame body, the second driving assembly is arranged in the second fixed cavity, one end of the support rod is connected to the output end of the second driving assembly, and the other end of the support rod is a free end, the second sealing assembly is arranged at the opening of the second fixed cavity, and the second sealing assembly fixing plate is arranged at the connection between the second sealing assembly and the second fixed cavity.

[0029] Dynamic sealing refers to a sealing method in which the relative positions of the sealing component and the sealing object will move relative to each other during the sealing process, wherein the sealing component and / or the sealing object move individually or together. Compared with static sealing in which the relative positions of the sealing component and the sealing object remain fixed during the sealing process, dynamic sealing requires a sealing effect under long-term dynamic action.
[0030] The second sealing groove of the second sealing component of the utility model is provided with a pleated structure, and the second sealing component is formed of a flexible material. The flexible material can adapt to the deformation and movement of the sealing object within a certain range, maintain a long-term sealing effect, and have high sealing reliability. The pleated structure can increase the surface area of the second sealing component and increase the range of movement of the sealing object. The pleated structure is easier to adapt to the deformation of the sealing surface during movement, such as surface undulations and deformation, and maintain a good sealing effect. The pleated structure can absorb the vibration generated by dynamic movement and reduce its impact on the seal. The pleated structure is preferably a radial pleated structure. The radial direction refers to the outward direction of the center point of the object, perpendicular to the axial direction. When the outer contour of the pleated structure is a circle, the radial direction is the vector direction extending from the center of the circle to any position of the circumference.
[0031] The flexible material of the second sealing component refers to a material that can produce obvious elastic deformation under stress, and the deformation can be restored to the original shape, such as a silicone rubber material. If the second sealing component needs to be used under corrosive working conditions, the second sealing component is preferably formed of an elastic material with corrosion resistance, such as a silicone rubber material. Since the second sealing component is formed of a flexible material, the pleated structure is formed by bending the second sealing groove up and down. After the second sealing groove is bent up and down, more than one annular groove and annular protrusion are formed, that is, the pleated structure. The pleated structure can be a corrugated type or a V-shaped structure similar to the corrugated type, and multiple pleats are preferably arranged concentrically. There are more than one through hole on the second sealing groove, and the through hole can be used as a fixing hole or as a mounting hole for the sealing object. Through the setting of the first protrusion, the sealing and fixation of the second sealing component of the utility model can be further enhanced. Other structures corresponding to the second sealing component, such as the sealing object, or the grooves set on the fixed structure for fixing the second sealing component, cooperate with the first protrusion of the second sealing component, which can further enhance the sealing effect of the second sealing component.
