[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The inner top wall of the connecting member 6 is rotatably connected with a threaded rod 11, and the outer surface of the threaded rod 11 is threadedly connected with a sliding member 12. The side surfaces of the multiple sliding members 12 that are away from each other are hinged with a transmission plate 13, and the other ends of the multiple transmission plates 13 are hinged with the clamping members 8 close to them. The installation of the threaded rod 11 can drive the sliding member 12 to push the multiple clamping members 8 into the clamping groove 10 through the transmission plate 13 during the rotation of the threaded rod 11, so that the fixing member 9 can be limited and supported. A servo motor 14 is installed on the bottom surface of the connecting member 6, and the output end of the servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 11, and the servo motor 14 can drive the threaded rod 11 By rotating, the threaded rod 11 can drive the multiple clamps 8 back into the connecting member 6 through the sliding member 12 and the transmission plate 13, and can automatically unhook when the load is large.
