[0020] Preferably, the crossbeam fixing assembly 2 and the adaptive positioning fixture 3 have the same sliding path;
[0021] Preferably, the adaptive positioning fixture 3 includes a slide 31, a first hinge rod 32, a second hinge rod 33, a third hinge rod 34, a hinge bolt 35, a positioning bolt 4 and a clamping assembly 5. The bottom end of the slide 31 is slidably connected along the clamping table 1 through a slide groove 11.
