The invention discloses a clamp parallel lifting mechanism for a forging manipulator. The clamp parallel lifting mechanism comprises a clamp, an operating frame, a flange plate, a clamp arm, a liftingseat, a first fixing seat, a chute body, a first connecting rod, a connecting block, a first connecting shaft, a pin shaft, an oil cylinder, a rotating seat, a base, a second connecting shaft, a connecting frame, a second connecting rod, a second fixing seat, a guide seat, a transmission device, a guide groove, a cross beam, a motor and a transmission rod. According to the clamp parallel liftingmechanism for the forging manipulator, the structure is reasonable and simple; the clamp is directly driven to move up and down in parallel by a parallel four-bar linkage mechanism, so that the lifting efficiency is high, and meanwhile the parallel lifting range of the clamp is greatly expanded; and the transmission device can only move up and down in the guide groove and move left and right in the chute body, so that the transmission device can move up and down in parallel along with the clamp, and it is ensured that the transmission device can transmit the power of the transmission rod to the clamp for accurate rotation, so that the forging working efficiency and the quality of forged products are greatly improved.
