When the stainless steel pipe needs to be clamped for convenient processing, first insert the stainless steel pipe into the pipe hole 9, start the motor 21 to drive the disc 13 to rotate 90° clockwise, so that the convex disc 18 is in contact with the right side wall of the sliding plate B5 and the left side wall of the pushing strip 16, and the sliding plate A4 is pushed to move to the right and the sliding plate B5 is pushed to the left. Since the sliding plates A4 and B5 are provided with V-shaped grooves 10 on the side walls facing each other, the sliding plates A4 and B5 will clamp the stainless steel pipe so that it is located in the V-shaped groove 10, which plays a role of pre-fixation and self-centering. Start the cylinder A6 and the cylinder B7 to push out the push plates of the two. Since the push plates of the cylinders A6 and B7 are both set toward the V-shaped groove 10, the push plates of the cylinders A6 and B7 are fixedly installed with elastic pads 8, and the stainless steel pipe will be clamped by the push plates of the cylinders A6 and B7, and fall into the elastic pads 8 and the elastic pads 8 are fixed. Fixed connection, at this time, the utility model is in a clamping state, which plays the role of clamping the stainless steel pipe; when the stainless steel pipe needs to be taken out after processing, start cylinder A6 and cylinder B7 to pull back the push plates of the two to separate the stainless steel pipe from the elastic pad 8, start the motor 21 to drive the disc 13 to rotate 90° counterclockwise, so that the disc 13 is in contact with the right side wall of the sliding plate B5 and the left side wall of the push bar 16, so that the sliding plate A4 moves to the left and the sliding plate B5 moves to the right, the stainless steel pipe is loosened, and then the stainless steel pipe can be taken out from the pipe hole 9; in summary, the utility model has the beneficial effects of self-centering and self-clamping, which solves the problem that the existing clamps for clamping stainless steel pipes usually only have a clamping function but do not have a centering function, and workers need to manually center and clamp during clamping, resulting in a lot of time spent on clamping, which affects the processing efficiency.

[0021] Preferably, the sliding plate A4 is fixedly provided with protrusions A11 on both the upper and lower sides, and the sliding plate B5 is fixedly provided with protrusions B12 on both the upper and lower sides.
