A movable knurled plate 12 is installed at the end of the first rotating shaft 11 away from the third motor 10. Four groups of magnets 14 are installed on the side of the movable knurled plate 12 away from the fixed knurled plate 13. A magnetic limit bracket 15 located on the mounting plate 1 is provided on the side of the magnet 14 away from the movable knurled plate 12. A fourth motor 16 is provided on the front outer wall of the triangular bracket 2 on the right side of the third motor 10. A second rotating shaft is installed at the output end of the fourth motor 16. A driving pulley 17 is connected to the end of the second rotating shaft away from the fourth motor 16 by bolts. A driven pulley 18 is provided below the driving pulley 17. A third rotating shaft is connected to the driven pulley 18 by bolts. A cam 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom inner wall of the feed hopper 4.

[0025] In an alternative embodiment, three support plates are welded to the left outer wall of the feed hopper 4. The top of each support plate is bolted with a first motor 5, and the three first motors 5 are distributed in a triangular pattern. The two lower rollers 6 move in opposite directions. One end of the three rollers 6 away from the first motor 5 is rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the feed hopper 4, and the cross-section of the roller 6 is a polygonal structure.

[0026] In an alternative embodiment, a first slot is formed in the right shell wall of the feed hopper 4. A bearing bracket and a motor support are bolted to the outer wall of the first slot. The bearing 7 is rotatably connected to the bearing bracket, and the knurled wheel 9 is rotatably connected to the motor support.

[0027] In an alternative embodiment, the bottom end of the second motor 8 is bolted to the mounting plate 1. The triangular bracket 2 is located on the right side of the second motor 8. A first support plate and a second support plate are welded to the front outer wall of the triangular bracket 2. The top of the first support plate is bolted with a third motor 10. A second slot is formed in the front shell wall of the triangular bracket 2. One end of the first rotating shaft away from the third motor 10 passes through the second slot.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, the top of the second support plate is bolted with a fourth motor 16. A third slot is formed in the front shell wall of the triangular bracket 2.

The round bar material rolls along with the three rollers 6, stirring the round bar material to break the parallel state, so that the round bar material falls smoothly. When the cam 19 rotates to the clearance position, the paper stick officially drops to the bottom of the stick groove. The cam 19 continues to rotate. When the cam 19 is tangent to the round bar material, the cam 19 and the side plate simultaneously squeeze the round bar material, causing the round bar material to be intermittently and regularly pushed outwards. The second motor 8 is started to drive the knurling wheel 9 to rotate.
