[0033] A support piece 5 is provided at the opening, and a lifting drive assembly 6 for driving the support piece 5 to move longitudinally is provided on the base 1.

[0034] Both the fixed clamp 2 and the movable clamp 31 are made of hardened steel.

[0035] Limiting rods 32 are symmetrically arranged on the slider 3, and the limiting rods 32 penetrate through the side wall of the base 1 and are slidably connected to it.

[0036] The lifting drive assembly 6 includes a base plate 61 disposed at the bottom of the base 1, and a slide rail 611 is provided on the top surface of the base plate 61.

[0037] The bottom surface of the support plate 5 is provided with a fixed hinge seat 62, and the top surface of the base plate 61 is provided with a movable hinge seat 63, and the movable hinge seat 63 is slidably connected to the slide rail 611.

[0038] The lifting drive assembly 6 also includes a connecting rod 64 and a second cylinder 65. One end of the connecting rod 64 is hinged to a fixed hinge seat 62, and the other end of the connecting rod 64 is hinged to a movable hinge seat 63.

[0039] The second cylinder 65 is mounted on one side of the base 1, and the piston rod of the second cylinder 65 is connected to the movable hinge seat 63.
