[0024] Furthermore, the sliding rod 10 slides synchronously along the inner walls of the limiting groove 11 and the sliding groove 12. The sliding rod 10 forms a sliding structure through the swing rod 9 and the limiting groove 11 and the sliding groove 12, which is beneficial to the rotation of the swing rod 9, driving the sliding rod 10 to slide synchronously along the inner walls of the limiting groove 11 and the sliding groove 12, thereby driving the clamping rod 13 to slide back and forth.

[0025] Furthermore, the clamping rods 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding rod 10, and the outer wall profile of the connection part between the clamping rods 13 and the sliding rod 10 is arranged in a "U" shape, which is beneficial to the clamping rods 13 being symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding rod 10, thereby playing a role in effectively limiting the two sides of the plane chessboard 7.

[0026] Furthermore, the positioning rod 18 is arranged on the movement trajectory of the plane chessboard 7, and the heights of the positioning rod 18 and the clamping rod 13 are both lower than the height of the plane chessboard 7, which is beneficial for setting the positioning rod 18 on the movement trajectory of the plane chessboard 7, thereby improving the limit position of the plane chessboard 7 during calibration.
