However, the disadvantages of this type of pipe clamp are: 1. The sliding distance is limited, and the sliding distance is determined by the length of the sliding seat; 2. If the pipeline is not parallel to the fixing seat during installation, the support angle will be incorrect, thereby damaging the pipeline connection. Utility Model Content

The axial buffer movement structure includes a ball positioning block 8 that is adapted to the shape of the shaft housing 6 and is provided in the shaft housing 6. A plurality of ball grooves 9 are provided on the inner arc surface of the ball positioning block 8. Balls 10 rotate in the ball grooves 9. Holes 11 are provided on the inner arc surface of the shaft housing 6 to accommodate the balls 10. The diameter of the holes 11 is smaller than the diameter of the balls 10. Part of the balls 10 are located outside the shaft housing 6 through the holes 11.

[0021] The utility model product is mainly divided into an upper semicircular part and a lower semicircular part, namely an upper clamp and a lower clamp.
