[0041] The material box 110 is connected to a blowing device, which can be a fan, etc., which will not be described in detail here. The air outlet of the blowing device in the material box 110 is located in the arc-shaped inner concave surface 111 and is directly opposite to the feed end of the feeding pipe 120. In this way, the air flow is Figure 3 Blow upward in the direction, blow the waterproof plug 02 into the feeding end of the feeding pipe 120 and send it upward, and send it out from the discharging end of the feeding pipe 120, such as Figure 3As shown, the feed tube 120 is generally in an inverted L-shape, and the discharge end of the feed tube 120 faces downward, corresponding to the top of the first feed track 210 of the transmission component 200 .
