1General position

2Complete
coincidence of three spherical joints

3The connecting rods and the upper platform are in the same plane

4
The connecting rods are parallel in space

5The axes of the connecting rods coincide with the axes of the driving rodsCurrently, the mechanism driving reciprocal screws do not exist, and the mechanism has structural singularity.
