Through the transmission effect of the three transmission assemblies, when the bolt 23 is screwed into the housing 21, it drives the three clamping blocks to move inward synchronously, so that the clamping blocks simultaneously pass through the tool guide groove 22 and are clamped with the clamping block slots 31 provided at the bottom of the tool 3, thereby locking the tool 3. The bolt 23 is movably connected to the connection head 241 provided at the end of the first clamping block 24 close to the bolt 23.
