[0034] The outer circumference of the clamp body 6 is defined by multiple vertical slots, within which multiple claws 5 are positioned. The claws 5 are provided with guide slots, and the sides of the clamp body 6 are correspondingly provided with multiple pin holes. Each pin hole is fitted with a guide pin 4, which passes through and slidably engages with the guide slots. The claws 5 are mounted within the vertical slots of the outer circumference of the clamp body 6. The slots on the claws 5 are aligned with the pin holes on the sides of the clamp body 6. The guide pins 4 pass through the pin holes on the sides of the clamp body 6 and the guide slots of the claws 5, passing through the gap between the guide pins 4 and the guide slots to achieve and limit their range of motion.
