The fixing slots 44 are evenly distributed linearly and at equal intervals on the sliding plate 43.

[0043] In the present invention, after the vibrating plate transfers the fisheye pin to the feeding end of the direct vibrating feeder 2, the direct vibrating feeder 2 works to drive the fisheye pin to move to the right. When the fisheye pin moves to the screening station, the direct vibrating feeder 2 stops working. At this time, the fisheye pin is in the bearing groove 327 on the front side of the bearing support block 323.

[0045] When the qualified fisheye pin passes through the discharge end of the direct vibration feeder 2 and enters the fixed groove 44 on the rear side of the sliding plate 43, the double-stroke cylinder 41 then drives the sliding plate 43 to move backward along the guide rod 45. At this time, the right end of the fisheye pin is fixed by the inner wall of the fixed groove 44, and the left end is in contact with the right wall of the baffle plate 42, until the fixed groove 44 in the middle of the sliding plate 43 is aligned with the discharge end of the direct vibration feeder 2. The next fisheye pin enters the fixed groove 44, and the above steps are repeated until multiple fixed grooves 44 on the sliding plate 43 are filled. The fisheye pin on the sliding plate 43 can then be removed by the mechanical claw; the double-stroke cylinder 41 is then reset, and the fisheye pins can continue to be filled in the fixed groove 44; by repeating the above steps, continuous fisheye pin feeding operation can be achieved.
