Wherein, because the center pin 26 needs to be inserted into the elastic sheet 93, the insertion hole and the inner periphery of the tape reel 92, in order to facilitate the insertion of the center pin 26 into other structures, in this embodiment, the lower end of the center pin 26 is provided with a taper.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, since the outer circumferential dimension of the magnetic attraction mechanism 25 is larger than the outer circumferential dimension of the center pin 26, the end face of the extending end of the magnetic attraction mechanism 25 surrounds the outer circumference of the root of the center pin 26, and the end face of the extending end of the magnetic attraction mechanism 25 is the first profiling surface 250 of the present utility model.
