The moving block 302 drives the positioning clamp 305, which in turn drives the protective pad 306. The positioning clamps 305 on both sides... Components such as 05 and protective pad 306 move toward the molded car design clay model, so that the protective pad 306 is connected to both sides of the molded car design clay model. The positioning clamp 305 is used in conjunction to achieve positioning and clamping of both sides of the molded car design clay model. Then, the box cover 102 is closed by the hinge 101 to place the molded car design clay model in the box 1, realizing the protection and handling of the molded car design clay model. This improves the usability of the car design clay model making tool and further enhances its practicality.
