The two ends of each of the two sliding seats 16 are fixedly connected with telescopic pipes 17. The two pipe bodies of each of the telescopic pipes 17 are fixedly connected with first springs 18. Two telescopic pipes 17 located at the same end are fixedly connected with clamping blocks 19. By arranging the clamping mechanism, the tinplate can be first squeezed into the two clamping blocks 19.
