[0002] At present, with the in-depth development of my country's semiconductor industry, the research and development and design of semiconductor technology covers a wider range, involving more processing fields such as medical, display, optical communication, military, and industry. In particular, the processing of semiconductors in the optical communication field is particularly fine, which has promoted the rapid development of semiconductor lasers.

[0003] The TO tube socket is an important component that determines the transmission speed of optical communication. The TO tube socket is usually welded after being plugged into the shell by wire pins. When plugging in, since the wire pins are overall thin, in order to adapt to modern production, when the wire pins are entered into the mold, a method of cooperating between a robotic arm and a visual sensor is usually used to enter the mold.

[0004] However, there are several disadvantages when entering the mold: the robot arm needs to go back and forth between the mold plate and the discharger to pick up and place the wire feet, which takes a lot of time. In addition, since the arrangement of the wire feet is relatively irregular, the overall single pick-up quantity is small, and the mold entry time required is long. In order to better keep up with production, a factory needs a large number of mold entry machines to cooperate, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources to cooperate, and the production cost will be relatively high, thereby reducing market competitiveness. Summary of the invention

[0036] Step B, placing the template: placing the arranged template on the conveyor belt 18, and adjusting the position of the template, aligning the reserved hole on the first layer of the molding shell 1 with the middle position of the first slide groove 4 and the second slide groove 5;

[0037] Step C, loading: synchronously start the first vibration plate 2 and the second vibration plate 3, adjust the line feet to the required state through the first vibration plate 2 and the second vibration plate 3, and then slide them into the first chute 4 and the second chute 5, and drive the line feet sliding into the first chute 4 and the second chute 5 to move under the vibration of the vibration motor 24 until the filling is completed;
