[0042] Working principle: First, when the end fixture 3 of the robot arm 2 needs to be replaced, the original robot arm 2 is removed, and then the robot arm 2 to be replaced is placed between the opposite sides of the two clamps 7, and then the rotating rod 13 is rotated. The rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bearing 12 so that the rotating rod 13 can rotate. The rotating rod 13 is connected to the internal thread of the slider 11. When the rotating rod 13 rotates, the slider 11 can drive the left clamp 7 to move, so that the anti-slip pads 6 on the surfaces of the two clamps 7 are in close contact with the surface of the fixture 3 to be replaced. The fixture 3 that needs to be replaced is stably clamped, and then the robot arm 2 is moved to the lowest position, and then the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 402 is controlled to move upward to the top of the tray 401, close to the installation position of the fixture 3 at the end of the robot arm 2. At this time, the tray 401 can stably lift the fixture 3 that needs to be replaced, and then the robot arm 2 is controlled to move to align the installation position of the fixture 3 at the end of the robot arm 2 with the fixture 3 that needs to be replaced. Then, the fixture 3 that needs to be replaced can be connected to the end of the robot arm 2 with bolts, and the fixture 3 can be replaced. After the replacement is completed, there is no need to manually lift the clamp 3 that needs to be replaced, and the clamp 3 at the end of the robot arm 2 can be conveniently replaced, which saves time and effort, improves the replacement efficiency of the clamp 3 at the end of the robot arm 2, and avoids the need to hold the clamp 3 in place when replacing the clamp 3 at the end of the robot arm 2, and then use multiple bolts to connect the clamp 3 to the robot arm 2. Since the clamp 3 of the robot arm 2 is made of metal and is heavy, it is more laborious to lift and replace the clamp 3 of the robot arm 2, and it is inconvenient to maintain The stability of the clamp 3 of the robotic arm 2 and the inconvenience of using bolts to connect the clamp 3 to the robotic arm 2 can be solved. After the clamp 3 at the end of the robotic arm 2 is replaced, the limit button is pulled upward out of the limit hole 15, and then the pull ring 9 is held to pull the plug 403 out of the slot 14, so that the electric telescopic rod 402 can be disconnected from the base 1, and then the electric telescopic rod 402 can be pressed horizontally into the elastic clamp 17, and the elastic clamp 17 can limit the electric telescopic rod 402 horizontally to prevent the vertical electric telescopic rod 402 from affecting the movement of the robotic arm 2.
