The bottom end of the connecting frame 10 is provided with a movable tube 11. The right end of the movable tube 11 is fixedly connected with a contact ring 12. The contact ring 12 is made of rubber material, which can allow the contact ring 12 to contact with the workpiece to increase the friction after clamping and make it more stable. The bottom end of the connecting frame 10 is provided with a piston assembly;

[0033] The limiting mechanism includes a pull plate 4, which passes through and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 2. A slot corresponding to the pull plate 4 is provided on the fixed plate 2, allowing the pull plate 4 to move laterally along the fixed plate 2. A wedge block 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 2. The wedge block 5 is an inclined surface. When the inclined surface is squeezed, the wedge block 5 will move laterally. The left end of the pull plate 4 is elastically connected to the fixed plate 2 through a reset spring 3.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The piston assembly includes a piston tube 13, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting frame 10. An air bag 14 is provided at the left end of the piston tube 13. The inner wall of the piston tube 13 is connected to the outer wall of the movable tube 11 by a piston.

Due to the elastic force of the air bag 14 itself, the air will re-enter the piston tube 13, and the elastic force of the air bag 14 will make the air offset the force generated by the movement of the movable tube 11, so that the movable tube 11 contacts and moves at different distances with workpieces of different shapes, which can adapt to workpieces of different shapes. Finally, the electric push rod 1 7 is started to make the electric push rod 1 7 move downward with the contact plate 8, so that the contact plate 8 presses against the upper part of the workpiece to increase its stability.
