[0045] Thus, when adjusting the specific surface area of the positive electrode 43, the worker can rotate the positive screw sleeve 4414 to rotate the first positive hinged rod 4412 and the second positive hinged rod 4413 towards each other or away from each other, thereby driving the two positive electrodes 43 to move towards each other or away from each other in the first direction, and further stretching or pressing the two positive electrodes 43, which is convenient to adjust. When adjusting the specific surface area of the negative electrode 47, the worker can rotate the negative screw sleeve 4814 to rotate the first negative hinged rod 4812 and the second negative hinged rod 4813 towards each other or away from each other, thereby driving the two negative electrodes 47 to move towards each other or away from each other in the first direction, and further stretching or pressing the two negative electrodes 47, which is convenient to adjust. The positive limiting frame 4415 can limit the positive screw sleeve 4414, so that the positive screw sleeve 4414 can only rotate around the second direction, which helps to improve the structural stability between the positive screw sleeve 4414 and the positive outer frame 411, and facilitates the positive screw sleeve 4414 to drive the positive adjusting rod 4411 to move in the second direction.

Since the cross-sectional shape of the positive electrode flow channel 434 perpendicular to the first direction is arc-shaped or trapezoidal, when the positive flexible electrode 431 is extruded, the positive electrode flow channel 434 can be completely blocked due to extrusion, ensuring that the electrolyte can flow normally on the surface of the positive flexible electrode 431. During use, by means of the first positive electrode avoidance groove 414 and the second positive electrode avoidance groove 444, the electrolyte can be avoided, so that the electrolyte can flow normally through the positive electrode flow channel 434, avoiding the interference of the first positive electrode hollow frame 412 and the second positive electrode hollow frame 442 with the flow of the electrolyte. By opening a plurality of negative electrode flow channels 474 on the surface of the negative electrode 47, the electrolyte can be uniformly distributed on the surface of the negative flexible electrode 471, and the electrolyte can take away the heat generated by the reaction, facilitating heat dissipation. Since the cross-sectional shape of the negative electrode flow channel 474 perpendicular to the first direction is arc-shaped or trapezoidal, when the negative flexible electrode 471 is extruded, the negative electrode flow channel 474 can be completely blocked due to extrusion, ensuring that the electrolyte can flow normally on the surface of the negative flexible electrode 471. During use, by means of the first negative electrode avoidance groove 454 and the second negative electrode avoidance groove 484, the electrolyte can be avoided, so that the electrolyte can flow normally through the negative electrode flow channel 474, avoiding the interference of the first negative electrode hollow frame 452 and the second negative electrode hollow frame 482 with the flow of the electrolyte.

Through the two negative electrode cover plates 457, the negative electrode liquid inlet flow channel 455 and the negative electrode liquid outlet flow channel 456 can be sealed to prevent the electrolyte from overflowing from the negative electrode liquid inlet flow channel 455 and the negative electrode liquid outlet flow channel 456, and the sealing effect is good.
