When the driving member 430 simultaneously drives the first and second follower shafts 4413 and 4423 to move in the second direction, the first follower plate 4411 is moved in the first direction by the first inclined portion 4412 and the first follower shaft 4413, and the second follower plate 4421 is moved in the second direction by the second follower shaft 4423. Note that, at this time, the second inclined portion 4422 does not guide the second follower plate 4421, and the second inclined portion 4422 corresponds to a plane in contact with the second follower shaft 4423. The driving member 430 may be a telescopic cylinder or a linear motor.

In the present application, the third direction is the Z-axis direction.

In the linkage structure 440, the first transmission structure 410 and the second transmission structure 420 are arranged, and the first positioning element 200 can be driven to move towards the direction close to the workpiece 500 and/or the first limiting element 101 by the first elastic element 413 in the first transmission structure 410, and the second positioning element 300 can be driven to move towards the direction close to the workpiece 500 and/or the second limiting element 102 by the second elastic element 423 in the second transmission structure 420; in addition, the driving member 430 drives the first linkage member 441 and the second linkage member 442 to move simultaneously, so that the first linkage member 441 drives the first transmission structure 410 to move in a direction away from the workpiece 500 and/or the first limiting member 101, and the second linkage member 442 drives the second transmission structure 420 to move in a direction away from the workpiece 500 and/or the second limiting member 102, thereby finally realizing that the first positioning member 200 moves in a direction away from the workpiece 500 and/or the first limiting member 101, and realizing that the second positioning member 300 moves in a direction away from the workpiece 500 and/or the second limiting member 102, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.
