[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The pen jump is fed into the pen jump slot of the station turntable via the feeding channel of the pen jump feeding station. Then, the station turntable is driven to rotate by a cam divider or a servo / stepper motor, causing the pen jump to reach the needle feeding station. After receiving the needle that has fallen from the needle outlet, the lifting cylinder of the needle feeding station pushes the lifting cylinder from below the needle outlet to below the pen jump. Then, the lifting device drives the lifting seat to rise, bringing the lifting cylinder closer to below the pen jump. At the same time, as the swing arm rises with the lifting seat, one end abuts against the stop block, causing the other end to rise and push the lifting cylinder, thus raising the pen jump. The lowering cylinder rises relative to the needle feeding slider, pushing the needle into the needle insertion cylinder at the lower end of the pen jump. Then, the station turntable drives the pen jump to the spring feeding station. The spring falling from the spring channel enters the spring receiving hole of the spring feeding slider.
