[0003] In view of this, this application provides a tidying device that can save activity space and an automated device having the above-mentioned tidying device.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a straightening device, including a combing assembly and a driving assembly. The combing assembly includes a plurality of straightening elements spaced apart along a first direction, with a straightening position formed between each pair of adjacent straightening elements. The straightening position allows multiple pieces of material stacked along a second direction to pass through. Each straightening element includes a column and a combing tooth assembly, each combing tooth assembly including a plurality of combing teeth. The column extends along the second direction, and each combing tooth assembly is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the column along the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the axial direction of the combing teeth is perpendicular to the second direction, forming an angle α with the first direction. The driving assembly connects to the plurality of columns and drives the straightening elements to rotate around the central axis of the column, thereby changing the angle α. When the combing teeth on two adjacent columns are rotated into a straightening position, each combing tooth can be inserted between two adjacent pieces of material.

[0005] In this application, the drive assembly rotates the drive column, causing the combing teeth to move along with the column, thus changing the included angle α. This allows the combing teeth on two adjacent columns to be rotated into a straightening position and inserted between two adjacent pieces of material to straighten the material. Compared to the straightening component, which needs to move relative to the straightening position along a first direction to straighten the material, this saves the moving space of the straightening component, thereby saving the space occupied by the straightening device.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the combing assembly includes three or more combing members, with a combing position formed between each pair of adjacent combing members; among the multiple combing members, the outer peripheral surface of the two side columns is provided with a row of combing teeth, and the outer peripheral surface of the middle column is provided with two rows of combing teeth, the two rows of combing teeth being arranged opposite to each other along the central axis of the column, so that the two sets of combing teeth of a combing member can be rotated simultaneously to two adjacent combing positions.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the axial direction of the combing teeth is defined to extend from the bottom to the top of the combing teeth; the outer peripheral surface of the column includes a mounting arc surface extending along a second direction, and the bottom of the combing teeth is connected to the mounting arc surface; when the combing tooth assembly is rotated into the alignment position and the included angle α is an acute angle, the vertical distance between the two mounting arc surfaces of two adjacent columns is greater than the width of the material, the top of the combing teeth is located above or below the first direction, and can be inserted between two adjacent pieces of material; when the included angle α is 0°, the vertical distance between the two mounting arc surfaces of two adjacent columns is equal to the width of the material, so that the two adjacent alignment pieces clamp the material.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the outer peripheral surface of the column includes an mounting arc surface and a tangent surface extending along a second direction. In two adjacent regularizing parts, the vertical distance between the two mounting arc surfaces is less than the vertical distance between the two tangent surfaces. The combing teeth are provided on the mounting arc surface. Tangent surfaces are provided on both sides of the mounting arc surface.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the comb teeth are conical and include a connected top and bottom. The bottom is a conical base located on the outer circumferential surface of the column, and the top is a conical tip for insertion between two adjacent pieces of material.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the axial directions of the combing teeth on the multiple columns are all parallel to each other; when the driving assembly drives the multiple straightening components to rotate synchronously, in two adjacent straightening components, the combing teeth of one straightening component are rotated from above in the first direction to the straightening position, and the combing teeth of the other straightening component are rotated from below in the first direction to the straightening position.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the sizing device further includes a bracket, a drive assembly mounted on the bracket, and a sizing element rotatably mounted on the bracket; the drive assembly includes a power component and a transmission component, the transmission component connects multiple columns together, the power component is coaxially connected to one column, and drives multiple columns to rotate simultaneously through the transmission component.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the straightening device further includes a sensing component, which includes a sensing part and a moving part. The sensing part is fixedly mounted on the bracket, and the moving part is connected to the transmission component. The sensing part is used to electrically contact the moving part to position the rotation angle of the straightening component.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the transmission component includes transmission teeth and a belt. Each transmission tooth is coaxially connected to a column, the belt is tensioned between two transmission teeth, and each column is connected to a belt through the transmission teeth, so that the power component can drive multiple columns to rotate simultaneously in the same direction through the transmission component.

[0014] One embodiment of this application provides an automated device, including lifting teeth and a straightening device as described in any of the above embodiments. The lifting teeth are used to carry multiple stacked materials and drive the multiple materials to move in a third direction.

[0015] In this application, multiple materials stacked together are moved relative to the regularized position along a third direction by a lifting tooth, thereby making multiple pieces of material stacked in a regularized manner between two adjacent regularized parts. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0027] The definitions of "first direction", "second direction" and "third direction" are for the purpose of describing the relative positional relationship of related structures, and do not mean that "first direction", "second direction" and "third direction" need to depend on the related structures involved in the above definitions.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0029] The term "perpendicular" is used to describe an ideal state between two components. In actual production or use, two components can exist in a state that is approximately perpendicular. The two components described as "perpendicular" do not have to be absolute straight lines or planes, but can be roughly straight lines or planes. From a macroscopic perspective, if the overall direction of extension is a straight line or plane, the component can be considered a "straight line" or "plane".

[0030] The term "parallel" is used to describe an ideal state between two components. In actual production or use, two components can exist in a state that is approximately parallel. The two components described as "parallel" do not have to be absolute straight lines or planes, but can be approximately straight lines or planes. From a macroscopic perspective, if the overall direction of extension is a straight line or plane, the component can be considered a "straight line" or "plane".

[0031] In the production and processing of solar cells, silicon wafers need to be positioned. In related technologies, two aligning strips are used to align the wafers laterally, which requires a large amount of space for these strips to move and occupies considerable space.

[0032] Embodiments of this application provide a straightening device, including a combing assembly and a driving assembly. The combing assembly includes a plurality of straightening elements spaced apart along a first direction, with a straightening position formed between each pair of adjacent straightening elements. The straightening position allows multiple pieces of material stacked along a second direction to pass through. Each straightening element includes a column and a combing tooth assembly, each combing tooth assembly including multiple combing teeth. The column extends along the second direction, and each combing tooth assembly is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the column along the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the axial direction of the combing teeth is perpendicular to the second direction, forming an angle α with the first direction. The driving assembly connects to the plurality of columns and drives the straightening elements to rotate around the central axis of the column, thereby changing the angle α. When the combing teeth on two adjacent columns are rotated into a straightening position, each combing tooth can be inserted between two adjacent pieces of material.

[0033] In this application, the drive assembly rotates the drive column, causing the combing teeth to move along with the column, thus changing the included angle α. This allows the combing teeth on two adjacent columns to be rotated into a straightening position and inserted between two adjacent pieces of material to straighten the material. Compared to the straightening component, which needs to move relative to the straightening position along a first direction to straighten the material, this saves the moving space of the straightening component, thereby saving the space occupied by the straightening device.

[0034] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides an automated device, including a lifting tooth (not shown) and a straightening device 100. The lifting tooth causes multiple pieces of material 200 to be stacked along a second direction Y and is used to carry the multiple pieces of material 200 stacked along the second direction Y. The lifting tooth can also drive the multiple pieces of material 200 to move along a third direction Z, so that the multiple pieces of material 200 move relative to the straightening device 100.

[0036] In the illustrated embodiment, the second direction Y is the horizontal direction. The third direction Z is the vertical direction, meaning that the lifting teeth can drive multiple pieces of material 200 to rise and fall vertically.

[0037] In some embodiments, the straightening device 100 includes a combing assembly 10 and a driving assembly 20. The combing assembly 10 includes a plurality of straightening elements 11. The plurality of straightening elements 11 are spaced apart along a first direction X. A straightening position 101 is formed between every two adjacent straightening elements 11, and the straightening position 101 can accommodate multiple pieces of material 200 stacked along a second direction Y. Lifting teeth can drive the multiple pieces of material 200 to move up and down between two adjacent straightening elements 11. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0038] In the illustrated embodiment, the first direction X and the second direction Y are two perpendicular horizontal directions. Both the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to the third direction Z.

[0039] Please combine Figure 2 Each sizing element 11 includes a column 111 and at least one row of combing teeth 112. The column 111 extends along a second direction Y. The combing teeth 112 includes a plurality of combing teeth 1121, each combing teeth 112 being disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the column 111 along the second direction Y, such that the axial direction A of the combing teeth 1121 is perpendicular to the second direction Y, and the axial direction A of the combing teeth 1121 forms an angle α with the first direction X. A drive assembly 20 is connected to the column 111 and is used to drive the plurality of sizing elements 11 to rotate, causing the combing teeth 1121 to rotate together with the column 111 around the central axis of the column 111, thereby changing the angle α. The central axis of the column 111 is parallel to the second direction Y.

[0040] When the combing teeth 1121 on two adjacent columns 111 are rotated into a regularization position 101, each combing tooth 1121 can be inserted between two adjacent pieces of material 200 to comb multiple pieces of material 200 in the regularization position 101.

[0041] By driving the column 111 to rotate, the combing teeth 1121 move together with the column 111, changing the included angle α. This allows the combing teeth 1121 on two adjacent columns 111 to be rotated into a straightening position 101 and inserted between two adjacent pieces of material 200 to straighten the material 200. Compared to the straightening element 11 needing to move relative to the straightening position 101 along the first direction X to straighten the material 200, this saves the moving space of the straightening element 11, thereby saving the space occupied by the straightening device 100.

[0042] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the axial direction A of the combing tooth 1121 is defined to extend from the bottom 1121a of the combing tooth 1121 to the top 1121b of the combing tooth 1121. The outer peripheral surface of the column 111 includes a mounting arc surface 1111 extending along a second direction Y, and the bottom 1121a of the combing tooth 1121 is connected to the mounting arc surface 1111.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4When the combing tooth assembly 112 is rotated into the leveling position 101, and the included angle α is an acute angle, such as 89° < α < 1°, the vertical distance between the two mounting arc surfaces 1111 of two adjacent columns 111 is greater than the width of the material 200. The top 1121b of the combing tooth 1121 is located above or below the first direction X, and the combing tooth 1121 can be inserted between two adjacent pieces of material 200. At this time, the combing teeth 1121 of the two adjacent leveling members 11 can comb the material 200 when the lifting tooth drives the stacked pieces of material 200 to rise and fall.

[0044] After the multiple pieces of material 200 have been combed, the lifting teeth position the combed pieces of material 200 in the regularization position 101 between two adjacent regularization pieces 11. The driving assembly 20 then drives the column 111 to rotate so that the included angle α is 0°, meaning the axial direction A of the combing teeth 1121 is parallel to the first direction X. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 5 When the included angle α is 0°, the vertical distance between the two mounting arc surfaces 1111 of two adjacent columns 111 is equal to the width of the material 200, so that the two adjacent regular parts 11 clamp the material 200 to position multiple pieces of material 200 and achieve the effect of aligning multiple pieces of material 200.

[0045] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the column 111 further includes a tangent 1112 extending along the second direction Y. In two adjacent regularizing members 11, the vertical distance between the two mounting arc surfaces 1111 is smaller than the vertical distance between the two tangents 1112. The combing teeth 1121 are provided on the mounting arc surfaces 1111, and each mounting arc surface 1111 has a tangent 1112 on both sides.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 When the included angle α is 90°, that is, when the drive assembly 20 drives the column 111 to rotate so that the axial direction A of the combing teeth 1121 is perpendicular to the first direction X, the axial direction A of the combing teeth 1121 is parallel to the third direction Z. The vertical distance between the two cross-sections 1112 of two adjacent columns 111 is greater than the width of the material 200, so as to leave enough space for the stacked multiple pieces of material 200 to enter and exit the leveling position 101. At this time, the lifting teeth can drive the stacked multiple pieces of material 200 to pass into the leveling position 101 between two adjacent leveling members 11.

[0047] In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting arc surface 1111 is a cylindrical surface, and the tangent surface 1112 is a plane. Cutting a cylinder can form the tangent surface 1112 and the mounting arc surface 1111, which facilitates the processing of the cylinder 111.

[0048] The drive assembly 20 rotates the drive column 111, causing the combing teeth 1121 to move together with the column 111. This allows adjacent aligning members 11 to switch between combing multiple pieces of material 200 and clamping multiple pieces of material 200. Compared to the aligning member 11 needing to move relative to the aligning position 101 along the first direction X to switch functions, this saves the aligning member 11's operating space, thus saving the space occupied by the aligning device 100. In the automated equipment with the above-mentioned aligning device 100, the aligning device 100 occupies less space, thereby saving the overall space occupied by the automated equipment.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, when the included angle α is acute, each combing tooth 1121 can insert into the gap between two adjacent pieces of material 200. At this time, the lifting tooth can adjust the gap between the two adjacent pieces of material 200, making the gap between the stacked pieces of material 200 uniform. When the included angle α is 45°, the distance between the corresponding two combing teeth 1121 on two adjacent straightening members 11 is the closest, the combing teeth 1121 can insert deeper into the gap between the two adjacent pieces of material 200, and the combing effect of the combing teeth 1121 on the material 200 is better.

[0050] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the combing teeth 1121 are conical, and each combing tooth 1121 includes a bottom 1121a and a top 1121b connected together. The bottom 1121a is fixedly disposed on the mounting arc surface 1111 of the column 111. The top 1121b is a conical tip, which guides the combing teeth 11 to insert between two adjacent pieces of material 200, so that the sizing member 11 combs multiple pieces of material 200 through the combing teeth 11.

[0051] In some embodiments, the bottom 1121a is cylindrical and the top 1121b is conical. The diameter of the bottom surface of the top 1121b is the same as the diameter of the bottom 1121a, so that the bottom surface of the top 1121b is connected to the bottom 1121a. The conical top 1121b can pass through the gap between two adjacent pieces of material 200. The end of the top 1121b away from the bottom 1121a has a rounded corner to prevent the top 1121b from damaging the material 200 when combing the material 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, the bottom 1121a can be installed on the column 111 by screws or welded to the column 111. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0053] In some embodiments, the comb teeth 1121 are made of ceramic. Such comb teeth 1121 have high hardness, are not easily thermally conductive, and are resistant to high temperatures, enabling them to comb the material 200 for extended periods without fatigue damage. The column 111 is made of PEEK. Such a column 111 has good high-temperature resistance and mechanical properties, as well as good strength and fatigue resistance, allowing it to be used for extended periods to drive the rotation of the comb teeth 1121. This application does not limit the materials of the comb teeth 1121 and the column 111; those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0054] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, in each row of combing teeth 112, multiple combing teeth 1121 are arranged at preset intervals along the second direction Y, so that the multiple combing teeth 1121 are evenly spaced. The combing teeth 1121 connected to the multiple columns 111 correspond to each other in the first direction X, so that the combing assembly 10 can simultaneously comb or clamp two sets of stacked multiple pieces of material 200.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 When the included angle α is 90°, that is, when the axial direction A of the combing teeth 1121 is perpendicular to the first direction X, the initial state of the sizing element 11 is defined. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The state when the included angle α is acute is defined as the first state of the regularized part 11. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The state where the included angle α is 0°, i.e., when the axial direction A of the combing teeth 1121 is parallel to the first direction X, is defined as the second state of the aligning member 11. Multiple aligning members 11 are driven to rotate by the drive assembly 20, allowing the aligning members 11 to switch between three states. When the aligning member 11 is in the initial state, two adjacent aligning members 11 are not working. When the aligning member 11 is in the first state, two adjacent aligning members 11 are used to comb multiple pieces of material 200. When the aligning member 11 is in the second state, two adjacent aligning members 11 are used to clamp multiple pieces of material 200.

[0056] In some embodiments, the combing assembly 10 includes two straightening members 11, which form a straightening position 101. Each column 111 is connected to a row of combing teeth 112, which includes a plurality of combing teeth 1121 disposed along the second direction Y on the mounting arc surface 1111. The plurality of combing teeth 1121 connected to the same column 111 can act on multiple pieces of material 200 in the same straightening position 101, thereby enabling the two straightening members 11 to comb or clamp the multiple pieces of material 200 stacked in the straightening position 101.

[0057] In some embodiments, the combing assembly 10 includes three or more combing members 11, with a combing position 101 formed between each pair of adjacent combing members 11. Among the multiple combing members 11, the outer peripheral surfaces of the two side pillars 111 are provided with a row of combing teeth 112, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the middle pillar 111 are provided with two rows of combing teeth 112. The two rows of combing teeth 112 are arranged opposite each other along the central axis of the pillars 111, so that the two sets of combing teeth 112 of one combing member 11 can be rotated simultaneously into two adjacent combing positions 101.

[0058] As an illustrative example, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 When the combing assembly 10 includes three straightening elements 11, the three straightening elements 11 are spaced apart along the first direction X to form two straightening positions 101. Each straightening position 101 is used to accommodate a set of stacked multiple pieces of material 200 passing through, so that the two straightening positions 101 formed by the combing assembly 10 can simultaneously accommodate two sets of stacked multiple pieces of material 200 passing through. The automated equipment includes two sets of lifting teeth, one set of lifting teeth corresponding to one straightening position 101, so that the two sets of lifting teeth simultaneously drive the straightening positions 101 corresponding to the two sets of stacked multiple pieces of material 200 to rise and fall, so as to simultaneously straighten the material 200 in the two straightening positions 101 and improve the straightening efficiency of the material 200.

[0059] Of the three straightening elements 11, the two side pillars 111 are provided with a row of combing teeth 112, and the middle pillar 111 is provided with two rows of combing teeth 112. The middle straightening element 11 can act on the material 200 in two straightening positions 101 at the same time. Compared with a straightening element 11 acting on the material 200 in only one straightening position 101, it saves the position of one straightening element 11, thereby saving the space occupied by the straightening device 100.

[0060] The sizing device 100 is used for processing half-wafer silicon wafers. When the sizing element 11 is in its initial state, two sets of lifting teeth simultaneously raise two sets of stacked multi-wafer materials 200 to enter the corresponding sizing position 101. The drive assembly 20 drives the three sizing elements 11 to rotate simultaneously to the first state, and the two sets of lifting teeth simultaneously drive the materials 200 to rise and fall, so that the combing assembly 10 simultaneously combs the materials 200 in the two sizing positions 101. The drive assembly 20 drives the three sizing elements 11 to rotate simultaneously to the second state, the two sets of lifting teeth stop working, and the combing assembly 10 can simultaneously clamp the combed materials 200 in the two sizing positions 101, aligning the stacked multi-wafer materials 200 in the two sizing positions 101, so as to simultaneously size the two sets of stacked multi-wafer materials 200.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the drive assembly 20 drives the plurality of straightening members 11 to rotate synchronously, in two adjacent straightening members 11, one row of combing teeth 112 of one straightening member 11 is rotated from above in the first direction X into the straightening position 101, and the other row of combing teeth 112 of the other straightening member 11 is rotated from below in the first direction X into the straightening position 101. In this way, the combing teeth 112 on two adjacent straightening members 11 can comb the same group of stacked multiple pieces of material 200.

[0062] In some embodiments, the axial directions A of the combing teeth 1121 on the plurality of columns 111 are all parallel to each other.

[0063] When the drive assembly 20 drives multiple alignment elements 11 to rotate by the same angle, the multiple alignment elements 11 can simultaneously rotate to the initial state, the first state, or the second state. Therefore, in such an alignment device 100, the movement of multiple alignment elements 11 can be synchronized, and multiple alignment elements 11 can be in any of the three states at the same time. This facilitates the installation and adjustment of the alignment device 100, and also facilitates the switching of the alignment device 100 between the three states, thereby realizing different functions.

[0064] In other embodiments, when the axial direction A of the combing teeth 1121 on the multiple columns 111 is not parallel, each sizing member 11 is individually driven to rotate by the drive assembly 20, so that each sizing member 11 rotates to the desired state.

[0065] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the drive assembly 20 includes a power component 21 and a transmission component 22. The transmission component 22 connects multiple columns 111 together. The power component 21 is coaxially connected to one column 111 and drives multiple columns 111 to rotate simultaneously via the transmission component 22.

[0066] As an example, the power component 21 is a motor. The motor is coaxially connected to the column 111 via a coupling. By driving any one of the columns 111 to rotate through the motor, the columns 111 connected to the motor can cause multiple columns 111 to rotate simultaneously through the transmission component 22, so as to achieve the effect of multiple regularizing components 11 rotating synchronously at the same time, thereby enabling multiple regularizing components 11 to be in any of the three states at the same time.

[0067] In some embodiments, the transmission member 22 includes transmission teeth 221 and belts 222. Each transmission tooth 221 is coaxially connected to a column 111. The belt 222 is tensioned between two transmission teeth 221, and each column 111 is connected to the belt 222 through the transmission teeth 221, so that the power member 21 can drive multiple columns 111 to rotate simultaneously in the same direction through the transmission member 22.

[0068] Driven by the power unit 21, multiple combing teeth 1121 with parallel axial directions A move at the same angle around the clockwise direction along with the connected column 111. The axial directions A of the multiple combing teeth 1121 remain parallel to each other, and the angle between the axial directions A of the multiple combing teeth 1121 and the first direction X remains the same, so that the multiple spaced regularizing members 11 are all in the same state.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the combing assembly 10 includes three straightening members 11, two transmission teeth 221 are coaxially connected to the column 111 connected to the power member 21, and each rotating tooth is connected to one end of the belt 222. The other columns 111 are coaxially connected to one transmission tooth 221, and each transmission tooth 221 is connected to the other end of the belt 222, so that when the column 111 connected to the power member 21 rotates, it can drive the other two columns 111 to rotate simultaneously in the same direction through the belt 222.

[0070] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the straightening device 100 further includes a support 40, the drive assembly 20 and the combing assembly 10 are both mounted on the support 40, and the straightening member 11 can rotate relative to the support 40 under the drive of the drive assembly 20.

[0071] In some embodiments, the straightening device 100 further includes a sensing component 30. The sensing component 30 includes a sensing part 32 and a moving part 31. The sensing part 32 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 40. The moving part 31 is fixedly mounted on the belt 222. When the belt 222 rotates with the column 111, the moving part 31 moves with the belt 222 to the sensing part 32, and the sensing part 32 electrically contacts the moving part 31 to position the belt 222, thereby positioning the rotation angle of the straightening member 11.

[0072] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, when the included angle α is 90°, the sensing part 32 makes electrical contact with the moving part 31, thereby enabling the sensing component 30 to position the initial position of the regularizing part 11.

[0073] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In other embodiments, when the included angle α is 45°, the sensing part 32 electrically contacts the moving part 31, thereby enabling the sensing component 30 to position the regularizing part 11 in a first state; or when the included angle α is 0°, the sensing part 32 electrically contacts the moving part 31, thereby enabling the sensing component 30 to position the regularizing part 11 in a second state.

[0074] In some embodiments, three sets of positioning components are provided to locate the three states of the straightening component 11. Alternatively, two sets or one set of positioning components may be provided to locate any one or two states of the straightening component 11. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0075] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the sensing part 32 is a sensing groove, which is U-shaped. One side wall of the sensing groove emits an infrared signal, and the other side wall of the sensing groove receives the infrared signal. The moving part 31 is a baffle. When the baffle moves into the sensing groove, the other side wall of the sensing groove cannot receive the infrared signal, thereby determining the position of the moving part 31 and the belt 222 used to drive the moving part 31.

[0076] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
