CLAMPING APPARATUS AND TRANSPORT DEVICE

The present disclosure relates to a clamping apparatus and a transport device. The clamping apparatus comprises: a base (11); a support plate (12), stacked with the base (11) in a vertical direction (Z); a locking assembly (13), by which the support plate (12) is connected to the base (11), wherein the locking assembly (13) comprises a first locking member (131) disposed on the support plate (12) and a second locking member (132) disposed on the base (11), the support plate (12) is movable in the vertical direction (Z) and is capable of being connected to or separated from the base (11) by connection or separation of the first locking member (131) to or from the second locking member (132), and a horizontal load is able to be transmitted between the support plate (12) and the base (11) via the locking assembly (13); and a clamping assembly (14) disposed on a surface of the support plate (12) facing away from the base (11), and comprising a first clamping jaw (141) and a second clamping jaw (142) spaced apart in a first horizontal direction (X), wherein the first clamping jaw (141) is connected to the support plate (12) in a horizontally movable manner and is capable of moving toward or away from the second clamping jaw (142) to switch between a clamping position and an opening position. The clamping apparatus of the present embodiment can improve the efficiency of transport operation and reduce the labor intensity.
