Abstract
A clamping mechanism includes a mounting plate, a driving assembly, and a clamping assembly. The mounting plate defines four through grooves. The driving assembly includes a driver mounted on the mounting plate, and a connecting member connected to the driver. The clamping assembly includes a reversing member mounted on the mounting plate, four clamping members, four transferring members, and four elastic members. The clamping members are movably mounted in the through grooves. The transferring members are wound on the reversing member. An end of each transferring member is connected to the connecting member, an opposite end of each transferring member is connected to the corresponding clamping member. The elastic members are sleeved on the transferring members, and resisting against the clamping members. The clamping members move toward the reversing member driven by the driver, for clamping a workpiece.
