The ring-shaped fixing plate 1 has a detection through hole 101, and the ring-shaped fixing plate 1 serves as a support. At least three groups of support plate groups 2 are arranged on one side of the bottom of the ring-shaped fixing plate 1, and all the support plate groups 2 are arranged in a circumferential array around the detection through hole 101; the support plate group 2 serves to support the arc-shaped linear light source 3.
