The invention discloses an intelligent card (IC) clamping mechanism which comprises clamp fingers used for clamping an IC, and a clamp driving device that is connected with the clamp fingers and is used for driving the clamp fingers to make clamp motion. According to the IC clamping mechanism, the IC can be clamped by the clamp fingers driven by the clamp driving device, and the IC can be taken and placed, so that the IC is avoided being directly taken and placed manually, and the labor force can be reduced in the IC testing process of an electric energy meter.
