In the direction away from the sixth shaft 204, the hole wall 135 of the second through hole 9 201000273 136 is a gradually increasing slope to be in close contact with the plurality of balls 124. . The fourth gas passage 138 cooperates with the third gas passage 129. The second positioning through hole 137 corresponds to the positioning pin 117 and the first positioning through hole 127. The connecting portion 130 is fixed to the clamp 300 through a fixing hole 139 by a screw (not shown). When the jig replacement device 100 is used to replace the jig 300 with the jig 200, first, the replacement portion 120 and the connecting portion 130 are in a separated state (shown in FIG. 3), and the connecting portion 130 is passed through a screw (not shown). The fixing hole 139 is fixed to the jig 300. The replacement part 120 and the connecting part 130 are in a stage of rapid engagement. Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the sixth shaft 204 drives the main body 110 and the replacement part 120 toward the connecting part. The direction of movement of 130 is ensured, and the positioning pin 117 is inserted into the second positioning through hole 137. At this time, the fourth gas passage 138 is gradually matched with the third gas passage 129, and the electrical signal connector 134 and the electric signal are The female connector 121 gradually cooperates, and the gas starts to enter the first gas passage 114 to push the body 118a of the piston 118 to move toward the second through hole 136. The body 118a drives the large-angle conical surface at the circular table 118c. The plurality of balls 124 are radially pressed along the second through hole 136. Since the plurality of balls 124 press the plurality of balls 124 to generate a relatively small force, the replacement portion 120 and the connecting portion 130 are only quickly sucked. Then, the replacement portion 120 and the connecting portion 130 are in the energizing and attracting phase. Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 together. When the electrical signal male connector 134 is fully engaged with the electrical female connector 121, the sixth The shaft 204 stops moving, 201000273 a large amount of gas continues to pass into the first gas passage 114 to push the body 118a of the piston 118 toward the second through hole 136. At this time, the cylinder 118b and the circular table 118 ( The pressing portion 124 presses the plurality of balls 124, and the contact area of the piston 118 with each of the balls 124 becomes smaller, thereby increasing the force given to the balls 124, so that the replacement portion 12〇 and the connecting portion are tightly attracted to each other - At the same time, 'the fourth gas passage 138 is fully engaged with the third gas passage 129' and the mechanical arm 2 〇〇 drives the clamp 3 〇〇 to operate, the fourth gas passage 138 and the third gas passage The 129 phase communication can provide power to the clamp 200 or be used as other auxiliary functions. Finally, the replacement portion 120 and the connecting portion 13 are in the suction locking phase. Referring to FIG. 6, the gas continues to pass into the first gas passage 114.
