[0050] In this embodiment, a plurality of retaining springs 100 are arranged in order and conveyed to a dividing mechanism 7 by a feeding mechanism 1, and the dividing mechanism 7 is used to adjust and flip the retaining springs 100 in the feeding mechanism 1; then, the grabbing mechanism 3 grabs the retaining springs 100 in the dividing mechanism 7 and moves them to the feeding mechanism 6; a plurality of metering modules 200 to be assembled are placed in the feeding mechanism 6 in sequence, and the rotating worktable 2 is rotated to the position of the feeding adjustment mechanism 9 and the grabbing mechanism 3, and the cam bearing 69 is driven by the cam pressure plate 94 in the feeding adjustment mechanism 9 to realize the assembly of the drainage tube 101 and the ultrasonic metering component 102, and finally, the retaining spring 100 is pushed to the connection between the drainage tube 101 and the ultrasonic metering component 102 in the feeding mechanism 6 by the pushing mechanism 8, completing the entire automated assembly, which is simple to realize, stable and reliable, and has good assembly consistency.

A rotating shaft 44 is arranged between the two supports 43, and the rotating shaft 44 is sleeved on the rotating arm 41; the second driving shaft 77 of the second driving mechanism 76 drives the cylinder push block 78 to move upward, so that the rotating arm 41 drives the dividing plate 42 to rotate; and then the retaining spring 100 located in the dividing plate 42 is moved from the horizontal to the vertical direction. Since a shelf groove 46 for placing the retaining spring 100 is formed at the top of the dividing plate 42, and a groove 47 is formed in the shelf groove 46, the first clamping jaw 37 and the second clamping jaw 38 at the bottom of the grasping mechanism 3 can pass through the interior of the retaining spring 100 and extend into the groove 47 to grasp the retaining spring 100.
