A push block 66 is fixedly installed, and the push block 66 is a combination of a disc and a cylinder. The diameter of the cylinder is the same as the diameter of the second circular hole 640. A groove 660 is opened on the upper part of the push block 66, and the groove 660 can be passed by the guide shaft 4.
