Place the workpiece above the mounting block 2, start the driving component 32, and control the clamping arms 31 to rotate inward synchronously, so as to clamp and fix the workpiece and realize the positioning of the workpiece.

[0031] Further, the clamping arm 31 is horizontally arranged. One end of the clamping arm 31 is fixedly connected to a vertical rotating rod 6. The rotating rods 6 are respectively located at the four corners of the mounting block 2. The rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 2.
