During the rotation of the rotating roller 3, the driving paddle 31 is connected to the connecting paddle 4 by transmission, thereby driving the new material limiting mechanism 13 to rotate, and the new material limiting mechanism 13 is driven to rotate. After the graphite electrode in the structure 13 is aligned with the graphite electrode below, the new material limiting mechanism 13 is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism to connect the two graphite electrodes, so that the two graphite electrodes can be positioned at the same time when the two graphite electrodes are connected, so that the connection between the two graphite electrodes can be quickly aligned, and there is no need to drive the upper graphite electrode to move back and forth through the lifting structure to align with the other graphite electrode, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation in the process of connecting the graphite electrodes, and quickly aligning during the connection, thereby improving the connection efficiency of the graphite electrodes.

[0020] Two connecting grooves 221 are symmetrically provided on the top of the base 1, and the connecting block 22 is slidably connected inside the connecting groove 221, and the connecting groove 221 is connected to the connecting cavity 231; by providing the connecting groove 221 and the connecting cavity 231, the driver 23 is installed so that the connecting block 22 can slide smoothly inside the connecting groove 221.
