Two clamping assemblies 4 are provided at one end of the clamping seat 1, and each clamping assembly 4 is connected to a cylinder 2 via a hinge 3. In this embodiment, see Figure 2 As shown, the output end of the cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to the hinge 3, and the cylinder 2 drives the hinge 3 to drive the clamp assembly 4 to tighten or loosen, thereby achieving the clamping action of the pipe string.

[0031] Each clamp assembly 4 includes:

[0032] Two clamping clamp bodies 401, one end of the clamping clamp body 401 is hinged to the clamping seat 1, and one side of the other end of the clamping clamp body 401 is provided with a mounting groove;

[0033] Positioning plates 402, two positioning plates 402 are provided on both sides of the mounting groove; the provided positioning plates 402 are used to install the clamp tooth seat 403, and the distance between the two positioning plates 402 can be adjusted as needed.

[0034] The jaw base 403 is provided with several jaw bases 403 between the two positioning plates 402. The jaw base 403 is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 402 via a positioning pin 404. The jaw base 403 is used to mount the jaw plates 405. The two ends of the jaw base 403 are connected to the positioning holes on the two positioning plates 402 via two positioning pins 404, so that the jaw base 403 can rotate between the two positioning plates 402. The rotation angle of the jaw base 403 can be 10 to 15 degrees, which can be set according to specific needs. Each jaw base 403 can be provided with several jaw plates 405, and each jaw plate 405 is provided with several anti-slip protrusions. Figure 5 As shown, an arc-shaped guide hole is provided at the end of the clamp tooth seat 403, and one end of the positioning pin 404 is provided in the guide hole and can slide in the guide hole.

[0035] The jaw plate 405 is provided on the jaw seat 403.

The position where the two hinge seats are connected to each other is rotatably connected to the output end of the cylinder 2. The extension of the piston rod of the cylinder 2 can push the two hinge seats to drive the two clamping clamp bodies 401 to move closer to each other, thereby clamping the pipe column. When clamping the pipe column, the jaw plate 405 will first contact the outer wall of the pipe column, and the outer wall of the pipe column will support the jaw plate 405, so that the jaw plate 405 pushes the jaw seat 403 to rotate, so that the jaw plate 405 can always clamp the outer wall of the pipe column, and the jaw plate 405 is provided with a number of anti-slip protrusions, which can play an anti-slip effect. When the piston rod of the cylinder 2 contracts, the two hinged seats can be pulled back, so that the two hinged seats spread the two clamping clamp bodies 401 apart, so that the two clamping clamp bodies 401 move away from each other, achieving a loosening action.

[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the plurality of jaw seats 403 are distributed in an arc shape. Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of jaw seats 403 are distributed in an arc shape so as to adapt to the outer wall of the pipe string.

[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a groove plate 406 is further included. Several groove plates 406 are provided between the two positioning plates 402.

Among them, the groove plate 406 has a notch on the side facing the jaw seat 403 to facilitate the entry of lubricating oil. The jaw seat 403 faces the groove plate 406, so that the lubricating oil can contact the jaw seat 403, facilitating the lubrication of the jaw seat 403 and extending the service life of the jaw seat 403.

[0038] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it further includes a first bolt 407, and the groove plate 406 is connected to the clamp body 401 through the first bolt 407. Figure 6 As shown, the first bolt 407 passes through the clamp body 401 and is connected to the groove plate 406 to fix the groove plate 406.

[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it further includes a second bolt 408, and each positioning plate 402 is connected to the clamp body 401 via the second bolt 408. Figure 7 As shown, second bolts 408 are provided on both sides of the clamping clamp body 401 . The second bolts 408 pass through the clamping clamp body 401 and are connected to the positioning plate 402 to fix the position of the positioning plate 402 .

[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, an oil cup 409 is further included. A groove is provided on the other side of the other end of the clamp body 401. An oil hole 410 is provided on the inner wall of the groove. The oil hole 410 is connected to the groove plate 406. An oil cup 409 is provided at the oil hole 410. Figure 6 As shown, a groove is provided in the middle of the other side of the other end of the clamping clamp body 401, and the oil hole 410 on the inner wall of the groove is connected to the groove of the groove plate 406.
