[0034] Four dotting mechanisms, the four dotting mechanisms are arranged at 90° on the outside of the corresponding dotting holes 21;

[0035] The feeding mechanism is located at the front side of the clamping through hole 20 .

[0036] When the probe dotting machine with feeding of the present invention is working, the probe 7 to be dotted can be delivered to the clamping through hole 20 in the mold 8 by the feeding mechanism, and then the dotting mechanism is used to complete the dotting of the probe 7, thereby completing the dotting of the probe in a machining manner to adapt to large-scale batch production.

[0037] Combination Figure 3In a dotting machine for a probe with feeding of the present invention, the dotting mechanism includes a first cylinder 13 and two dotting needles 10 connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder 13. The first cylinder 13 is arranged on the side of the base 12, and the dotting needles 10 extend into and out of the corresponding dotting holes 21 along with the telescopic end of the first cylinder 13.
