The motor drives the turntable 3 to rotate clockwise, and the mounting slot 5 containing the stainless steel cap rotates to the inside of the enclosure 4. The enclosure 4 blocks the stainless steel cap to prevent it from falling or shifting. When the stainless steel cap rotates to the spiral shaft feeding mechanism, the spiral shaft feeding mechanism feeds the spiral shaft into the positioning hole 7 of the connecting block 6 above the stainless steel cap, so that the spiral shaft to be assembled and the stainless steel cap are coaxially assembled together. The assembled spiral shaft and stainless steel cap rotate to the pressing mechanism for pressing. After pressing, the turntable 3 continues to rotate, and the pressed product rotates out of the enclosure 4 and comes to the unloading mechanism, which unloads the product.

[0017] The spiral shaft feeding mechanism includes a second vibratory plate 13, a second linear vibratory track 14, and a feeding plate 15 located at the discharge end of the second linear vibratory track 14. The feeding plate 15 is driven by a servo motor. The end of the second linear vibratory track 14 faces the circumference of the feeding plate 15. The circumference of the feeding plate 15 is provided with a plurality of feeding holes 16. A first gripper 18 is connected above the feeding plate 15 via an XZ axis moving module 17. The second vibratory plate 13 feeds the spiral shaft into the feeding holes 16 on the feeding plate 15 through the second linear vibratory track 14. The servo motor drives the feeding plate 15 to rotate, so that the feeding plate containing the spiral shaft rotates to face upward. The XZ axis moving module 17 drives the first gripper 18 to take out the spiral shaft and assemble it into the positioning hole 7 on the connecting block 6.
