[0027] A clamping component 22, arranged on the top surfaces of the two movable plates 212 for clamping and fixing the workpiece. The clamping component 22 includes side plates 221 fixedly installed on the top surfaces of the two movable plates 212. An adjustment groove 222 is formed inside the side plates 221. An adjustment box 228 is movably installed inside the adjustment groove 222, and the cross-section of the adjustment box 228 is cross-shaped. The size specifications of the adjustment box 228 and the adjustment groove 222 are adapted to each other. A notch 227 is formed on the opposite side of the adjustment box 228. A lower clamping block 223 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the opposite side of the adjustment box 228, and the top surface of the lower clamping block 223 is inclined.
