A gap is arranged between the lower clamping separation blade and the lower fixing support, and the lower clamping separation blade and the lower fixing support are not in contact relation. Therefore, the relative movement between the lower clamping blocking sheet and the upper fixing support can be realized through the rolling of the four balls.
