At this time, after the spring sensor detects the spring, the upper dividing cylinder retracts, and the upper dividing cylinder drives the ejector on the upper ejector seat to insert into the middle part of the second spring, and the second spring is fixed. Then, the lower dividing cylinder retracts, and the lower dividing cylinder drives the ejector on the lower ejector seat to retract, and the first spring is sent away along the trough under the action of gravity and gas. At this time, after the spring sensor does not detect the spring, the lower dividing cylinder extends out, and the lower dividing cylinder drives the ejector on the lower ejector seat to extend out, and the upper dividing cylinder extends out, and the upper dividing cylinder drives the ejector on the upper ejector seat to be pulled out, and all the springs fall along the feeding trough until the first spring is blocked by the ejector on the lower ejector seat.
