[0023] When the bending frame 61 is in place, the tab body 41 is located on one side of the limiting rod 62, and the electric telescopic rod 65 on the corresponding side is started to push the push plate 63 to move towards the limiting rod 62. Because the guide rod 64 on one side of the push plate 63 slides through the side wall of the bending frame 61, this enables the push plate 63 to move stably in the predetermined direction without deviation, and the push plate 63, under the push of the electric telescopic rod 65, exerts pressure on the tab body 41 located on both sides of the limiting rod 62, so that the tab body 41 is bent around the limiting rod 62, thereby realizing the bending operation of the tab.
