[0033] Top plate 5 is located below the positioning seat 4, and the top plate 5 cooperates with the positioning seat 4 to clamp and fix the connecting pipe.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] The alloy chopstick connector device disclosed in Embodiment 2 of this utility model has a structure that is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1. The difference is that the positioning seat 4 is provided with a positioning groove 45, and the guide seat 2 is provided with a guide groove 21. The positioning groove 45 and the guide groove 21 are horizontally aligned.

[0036] A cylinder 3 is provided on the side of the guide seat 2 away from the positioning seat 4. The cylinder 3 is mounted on the base 1. A piston rod 31 is provided on the cylinder 3. The piston rod 31 slides horizontally along the guide groove 21. The piston rod 31 pushes the chopstick head and chopstick body to move and connect in the direction of the connecting pipe.

[0037] The positioning groove 45 is provided with sliding grooves 41 on both sides above. A baffle 42 is horizontally slidably connected in the sliding groove 41. The cross-section of the baffle 42 is trapezoidal, and the upper inner side of the baffle 42 is set as an inclined side.

[0038] A first telescopic rod 43 is provided on the outer side of the baffle 42. The two ends of the first telescopic rod 43 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the baffle 42 and the positioning seat 4, respectively. A first spring 44 is also provided between the baffle 42 and the positioning seat 4, and the first spring 44 provides an inward pushing force to the baffle 42.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] The alloy chopstick connector device disclosed in Embodiment 3 of this utility model has a structure that is basically the same as that in Embodiment 2. The difference is that a lifting groove is provided below the positioning seat 4, and a top plate 5 is vertically slidably connected in the lifting groove of the positioning seat 4. The top plate 5 and the lower inner side of the baffle 42 together clamp and fix the connecting pipe.

[0041] A second telescopic rod 51 is provided below the top plate 5.
