[0025] By sliding the first main arm 31 and the second main arm 32 on the slide rail 2, the cross support arm 33 and the manipulator 38 are driven to move horizontally as a whole. The cross support arm 33 moves up and down on the first main arm 31 and the second main arm 32 through the sliding sleeve 35 to realize the up and down movement of the manipulator 38.
