Specifically, the mounting base plate 4 is connected to the slide rail 13 and the base fixture moving cylinder 12; the base moving fixture 1 is connected to the slide rail 13; and the base fixture moving cylinder 12 is connected to the base moving fixture 1, thus forming the bottom fixture lateral movement mechanism; the clamping cylinder mounting bracket 14 is connected to the mounting base plate 4; the clamping cylinder mounting bracket 14 is connected to the clamping cylinder 11; and the nylon clamping block 10 is connected to the clamping cylinder 11, thus forming the clamping mechanism; the upper slide module mounting bracket 2 is connected to the mounting base plate 4.
