[0040] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 also includes a hydraulic lifting drive 31 and a screw 32. One end of the screw 32 is driven to the hydraulic lifting drive 31, and the other end is connected to the gear and rack tilting assembly 2.

[0041] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the straightening structure 4 includes a straightening machine body 41 and a jack 42. The straightening machine body forms a straightening cavity 43 and is equipped with a transport roller 6. The transport roller 6 transports the electrode flat steel 7, which has been flipped by the gear and rack flipping assembly 2, into the straightening cavity 43. The driving end of the jack 42 contacts the electrode flat steel 7 and pushes the electrode flat steel 7 toward the top wall of the straightening cavity 43, whereby the electrode flat steel 7 is in close contact with the top wall of the straightening cavity 43. Specifically, the transport roller 6 transports the electrode flat steel 7 into the straightening cavity 43, aligning the middle part of the electrode flat steel 7 with the jack 42. The driving end of the jack 42 extends, pushing the electrode flat steel 7 toward the top wall of the straightening cavity 43. After both ends of the electrode flat steel 7 contact the top wall, the jack 42, in conjunction with the electrode flat steel 7, straightens the electrode flat steel 7.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, a straightness measuring instrument is also included. The straightness measuring instrument is disposed in the straightening cavity 43 and is used to measure the straightness of the electrode flat steel 7. Specifically, the straightness measuring instrument is an optical bending meter, which has the advantages of non-contact measurement, high accuracy, and high speed, and can quickly measure whether the straightness of the electrode flat steel 7 after being straightened by the straightening structure 4 meets the requirements.

[0043] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the control structure 5 is a control panel, which is located on the main body 1 of the device. Specifically, the control panel has multiple buttons. By pressing different buttons, the operator can cause the flipping and lifting structure and the straightening structure 4 to perform corresponding actions, thereby realizing the flipping and straightening of the electrode flat steel 7.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, when the tilting and lifting structure is unloaded and at its furthest position from the transport roller 6, the support part hangs naturally. The operator drives the lifting assembly 3 via the control structure 5 to cause the gear and rack tilting assembly 2 to descend. Figure 6 As shown, the support part contacts the base plate 24 and continues to descend until the support width of the support part increases. The lifting assembly 3 is then closed. At this time, the transport roller 6 can be opened to transport the electrode flat steel 7 into the support space 21. After the electrode flat steel 7 reaches the set position, as... Figure 7 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 is activated, which lifts the electrode flat steel 7 to separate it from the transport roller 6. After being lifted to the set height, the gear and rack flipping assembly 2 is activated to flip the electrode flat steel 7. After the flipping is completed, it is lowered again, so that the electrode flat steel 7 falls back onto the transport roller 6 and is transported to the straightening chamber 43 through the transport roller 6 for straightening.

[0045] In summary, the automatic flipping and straightening of the electrode flat steel 7 is achieved through the coordinated operation of the flipping and lifting structure, the straightening structure 4, and the control structure 5. This ensures that the electrode flat steel 7 meets the requirements of subsequent processes, while improving work efficiency and ensuring the personal safety of the workers. The use of the gear and rack flipping assembly 2 as the flipping power source has the characteristics of simple structure, easy maintenance, and reduced manufacturing costs.
