When the locking plate 16 of the end gripper 1 is inserted into the cavity 3 in the gripper head seat 2... Since the cavity 3 has a stepped structure, the top of the locking plate 16 rests against the plane in the cavity, limiting the locking plate 16. This ensures that the locking hole 17 on the locking plate 16 and the locking head 6 are on the same horizontal plane. The elastic force of the compression spring 14 will push the lifting frame 9 downward. The lifting frame 9 will push the left rotating plate 7 and the right rotating plate 8, causing the left rotating plate 7 and the right rotating plate 8 to rotate on the same horizontal plane. The left rotating plate 7 and the right rotating plate 8 will horizontally push the locking head 6 to move horizontally in the insert plate 5. When the two locking heads 6 move, they will insert into the locking hole 17 of the locking plate 16, completing the installation of the end gripper 1 and the gripper head seat 2.
