[0042] Reference Figure 6-8As shown, the first transmission assembly includes a first synchronization mechanism 333, a first transmission plate 334, a first slider 335, a first clamping guide rail 336, and a first transmission block 337; the first synchronization mechanism 333 is connected to the first top plate 322, and its two synchronization ends are respectively connected to the two first transmission plates 334, the first slider 335 is provided on the first transmission plate 334, and the first slider 335 is slidably matched with the first clamping guide rail 336 provided on the first top plate 322, the first transmission block 337 is provided on the first transmission plate 334, and the first transmission block 337 is connected to the output end of the first clamping drive device 331.

[0043] Specifically, the first transmission block 337 transmits the power of the first clamping drive device 331 to the first clamping arm 332, so that it moves along the first clamping guide rail 336 to achieve clamping displacement. By setting the first synchronization mechanism 333, the synchronous clamping displacement of at least two first clamping arms 332 can be controlled simultaneously, thereby achieving efficient and precise clamping operation; in some embodiments, the first synchronization mechanism 333 adopts a synchronous gear system or a synchronous belt system.

[0045] Specifically, the selection and working principle of each component in the second lifting device 41 and the second clamping device 42 are similar to those of the first lifting device 31 and the second clamping device 42, and thus will not be repeated here.
