The reinforcing plate is located between the two clamping plates. Telescopic rods are welded to both sides of the reinforcing plate, and the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods are screwed and fixed to the outer walls of the clamping plates.

[0010] Preferably, a support rod is welded to one end of the bottom of the reinforcing plate, and a rubber block is sleeved on the other end of the support rod. The outer wall of the rubber block is corrugated.

[0011] Preferably, a numerical control screen is screwed to the outer wall of the robot console, and a controller is provided below the bottom of the numerical control screen.

One end of the bottom of the spring rod 5 is welded with a clamping frame 6, and sliding grooves 7 are opened at both ends of the top of the clamping frame 6. Sliders 8 are slidably installed inside the sliding grooves 7, and a double-acting cylinder 9 is screwed to the top of the slider 8. Transmission rods 10 are fixed to both output ends of the double-acting cylinder 9, and the other end of the transmission rod 10 is welded with a clamping plate 11. An anti-slip pad 12 is adhesively bonded to the inner wall of the clamping plate 11. The two double-acting cylinders 9 are connected in parallel. The anti-slip pad 12 is made of flannelette, and several convex points are adhesively bonded to the flannelette. The convex points are in a cross shape. The convex points are beneficial to improving the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip pad 12. A threaded rod 13 is arranged inside the sliding groove 7, and the threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected with the slider 8. One end of the threaded rod 13 extends to the outside of the clamping frame 6 and is fixed with a motor 14.
