The discharge port 36 of the storage hopper is located directly above the vibrating plate, and an electrically controlled opening and closing baffle 37 is provided at the discharge port. When the coil in the vibrating plate is insufficient, the baffle opens automatically, and the straight vibrator is used to feed the coil in the storage hopper into the vibrating plate.
