The upper groove and the lower groove form a hole for accommodating the aluminum pipe to achieve clamping of the aluminum pipe. When facing aluminum pipes of different specifications, this method cannot clamp and fix aluminum pipes of different specifications, resulting in the problem of poor versatility of the equipment.
