[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the anti-slip strip 13, the friction between the movable block 11 and the hand or other operating tools is increased, preventing misoperation or damage caused by slippage during operation.
[0029] refer to Figure 3 The top and bottom of the inner wall of the fixing block 6 are fixedly connected with protrusions 14. The inner side of the protrusions 14 is slidably connected to the surface of the card block 7.

[0033] The working principle and usage of this utility model are as follows: When connecting bipolar plate 1 and bipolar plate 4, firstly, move bipolar plate 1 downwards to insert the insert block 5 into the fixing block 6. As the insert block 5 goes deeper, the locking block 7 is squeezed and moves to the left and right sides until it is locked into the limiting block 8. At this time, due to the toughness of the limiting block 8, the locking block 7 is firmly fixed inside the limiting block 8, thus realizing the locking connection between the bipolar plates. Then, the movable block 11 can be flipped to squeeze the limiting block 8 away from the locking block 7, thereby tightening the locking block 7 and the limiting block 8, making their locking more stable. This avoids the complex installation caused by the lack of an additional locking structure in existing graphite bipolar plates, giving it the advantage of ease of use.
