After the two sets of vertical plates 3 are adjusted to a suitable distance, the main pin shaft is placed between the two sets of vertical plates 3. Then, the six sets of first motors 8 are turned on, driving the six sets of first screws 4 to rotate. The six sets of first screws 4 are threadedly connected to the six sets of moving blocks 5. The moving block 5, through the action of six sets of adjusting plates 6, multiple sets of telescopic tubes 9, multiple sets of telescopic rods 10, and multiple sets of springs 11, drives six sets of arc-shaped clamping plates 7 to move inward. The six sets of arc-shaped clamping plates 7 clamp the main pin shaft. Then, the second motor 17 is turned on, which drives the second screw 15 to rotate.
