[0051] In some embodiments, a transfer mechanism is arranged between the CPA assembly mechanism and the crown spring assembly mechanism, including a transfer plate 8 (as Figure 5As shown), it is driven to rotate by a motor, and a plurality of rotating grooves 81 are arranged along the side of the transfer plate 8. The transfer plate 8 is in a "cross" shape. There are four rotating grooves 81 in total, which are opened at the top of the transfer plate 8. The front side of the movable plate is connected to the transfer channel 7. The product enters the rotating groove 81 through the transfer member 72. After the transfer plate 8 rotates, the rotating groove 81 loaded with the product is aligned with the product transfer channel 9 on the rear side. At this time, the next empty rotating groove 81 is aligned with the transfer channel 7, and the next product enters the rotating groove 81 to continue the loading and transfer.

[0052] At the same time, a preliminary classification plate 82 is also provided on the side of the transfer plate 8 , and defective products detected by the detection sensor 6 are pushed into the preliminary classification plate 82 by the transfer component.
