The first driving module 19 can be set as a servo motor, which has the advantage of high precision. One side edge of the material receiving tray 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 11. The material receiving tray 12 extends horizontally and is provided with a material receiving groove 121. Specifically, the material receiving groove 121 extends along the horizontal plane where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located. The extending direction of the material receiving groove 121 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 11. The number of the material receiving grooves 121 is six, and the material receiving grooves 121 are arranged in sequence along the extending direction of the rotating shaft 11. The material blocking plate 13 is in an arc shape. The center of the cross-section of the material blocking plate 13 is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 11. The central angle of the material blocking plate 13 is greater than 70 degrees and less than 90 degrees. The upper edge of the material blocking plate 13 deviates from the horizontal plane where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located. Specifically, the upper edge of the material blocking plate 13 is lower than the horizontal plane where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located. The lower edge of the material blocking plate 13 deviates from the vertical plane 101 where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located. Specifically, the upper edge and the lower edge of the material blocking plate 13 are on the same side of the vertical plane 101 where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located. The bottom plate 14 is arranged on the lower side of the material blocking plate 13. The bottom plate 14 extends basically horizontally. The bottom plate 14 is fixedly connected with a guide tube 141, and the guide tube 141 extends vertically. The extending direction of the guide tube 141 is parallel to the vertical plane 101 where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located and the guide tube 141 deviates from the vertical plane 101 where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located. The upper end of the guide tube 141 passes through the bottom plate 14 and is flush with the upper side of the bottom plate 14. Specifically, the upper end of the guide tube 141 is threadedly connected to the bottom plate 14, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the guide tube 141. The material receiving seat 15 is arranged between the bottom plate 14 and the material blocking plate 13. The material receiving seat 15 is provided with a through hole 152, and the through hole 152 extends vertically and penetrates through the upper and lower sides of the material receiving seat 15. The through hole 152 intersects with the vertical plane 101 where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located and the extending direction of the through hole 152 is parallel to the vertical plane 101 where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located, so as to facilitate the through hole 152 to receive the rod material 21 dropped from the material receiving groove 121. A chamfer 1211 for facilitating the insertion of the rod material into the through hole 152 is arranged at the upper end of the through hole 152. The second driving module 16 is arranged on the bottom plate 14. The second driving module 16 is connected to the material receiving seat 15 and drives the material receiving seat 15 to make a reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction. The second driving module 16 can be set as an electric cylinder. The rod pressing rod 17 extends vertically and is arranged above the guide tube 141. Specifically, the rod pressing rod 17 is arranged directly above the guide tube 141 so that the rod pressing rod 17 can move downward into the guide tube 141. The outer diameter of the rod pressing rod 17 is adapted to the inner diameter of the guide tube 141. The third driving module 18 is connected to the rod pressing rod 17 and is used to drive the rod pressing rod 17 to make a reciprocating motion up and down. The third driving module 18 can be set as an electric cylinder.The guiding tube 141 is arranged within the movement range of the pressing rod 17. Specifically, when the pressing rod 17 moves up and down reciprocally, when the pressing rod 17 moves to the uppermost end, the pressing rod 17 disengages from the guiding tube 141, and when the pressing rod 17 moves to the lowermost end, the lower end of the pressing rod 17 is inserted into the guiding tube 141.

[0026] A detection hole 153 is arranged on one side of the material receiving seat 15, and the detection hole 153 communicates with the through hole 152. The material receiving seat 15 is provided with a detection module 154, and the detection hole 153 is arranged between the through hole 152 and the detection module 154, so that the detection module 154 can check whether there is a rod material 21 in the through hole 152 through the detection hole 153. One end of the material receiving groove 121 is provided with a chamfer 1211 facilitating the insertion of the rod material into the material receiving groove 121. The detection module 154 is set as an optical fiber sensor.

[0027] A guiding support 131 is arranged between the material blocking plate 13 and the material receiving seat 15. The guiding support 131 is provided with a guiding channel 1311 extending vertically. The guiding channel 1311 is arranged directly above the through hole 152. At the same time, the guiding channel 1311 extends along the vertical plane 101 where the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is located, so that the guiding channel 1311 is convenient for receiving the rod material 21 falling from the material receiving groove 121. The upper end of the guiding channel 1311 is provided with a chamfer 1211 facilitating the insertion of the rod material into the guiding channel 1311.

[0028] Above the bottom plate 14, there is a top plate 142. The top plate 142 is fixedly connected with a guiding rod 1421 extending vertically. The guiding rod 1421 is slidably connected with a lifting seat 1422. The guiding rod 1421 passes through the lifting seat 1422. The lifting seat 1422 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 14221. The connecting rod 14221 extends horizontally. The pressing rod 17 is fixedly connected with the connecting rod 14221. The third driving module 18 is arranged on the bottom plate 14 and is connected with the lifting seat 1422 and is used for driving the lifting seat 1422 to move up and down reciprocally. The third driving module 18 can be set as an electric cylinder.

[0029] The rotating shaft 11 is fixedly connected with a positioning disk 111. The positioning disk 111 is provided with a first positioning groove 1111 and a second positioning groove 1112. The positioning disk 111 is circular. The first positioning groove 1111 is arranged along the radial direction of the positioning disk 111. The second positioning groove 1112 is arranged along the radial direction of the positioning disk 111. The included angle between the first positioning groove 1111 and the second positioning groove 1112 is 90 degrees. The first driving module 19 is fixedly connected with a first connecting piece 191 and a second connecting piece 192. The positioning disk 111 is arranged between the first connecting piece 191 and the second connecting piece 192. The first connecting piece 191 is provided with an infrared sensor 1911, and the emitting direction of the infrared sensor 1911 faces the second connecting piece 192.

[0030] The principle of this embodiment is:

[0031] See Figure 2 Figure 2 , initially, the positions of the infrared sensor 1911 and the first positioning groove 1111 correspond to each other, the material receiving tray 12 is horizontal, the bar stock 21 is horizontally inserted into the material receiving groove 121, and the distance from the end of the bar stock inserted into the material receiving groove 121 away from the rotating shaft 11 to the center line of the rotating shaft 11 is adapted to the radius of the material blocking plate 13. Then, the rotating shaft 11 rotates, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 11 drives the positioning disk 111 to rotate until the positions of the second positioning groove 1112 and the infrared sensor 1911 correspond to each other. At this time, the rotating shaft 11 has rotated 90 degrees. During the rotation, the material blocking plate 13 is used to prevent the bar stock from coming out of the material receiving groove 121. After the rotation ends, the bar stock falls out of the material receiving groove 121 under the action of gravity, passes through the guiding channel 1311, and then is inserted into the through hole 152. See Figure 6 Figure 6 . The distance from the lower end of the through hole 152 to the bottom plate 14 is less than the length of the bar stock. Therefore, at least part of the bar stock is disposed within the through hole 152. At this time, the detection module 154 detects the bar stock, and then the material receiving seat 15 moves towards the guiding tube 141 under the action of the second driving module 16. When the through hole 152 moves directly above the guiding tube 141, the bar stock pressing rod 17 moves downward, and the bar stock pressing rod 17 presses the bar stock within the through hole 152 downward into the guiding tube 141, and then presses the bar stock out from the lower end of the guiding tube 141. After the bar stock comes out of the guiding tube 141, it is inserted into the food, and the bar insertion is completed. See Figure 7 Figure 7 . Then, the rotating shaft 11 continues to rotate 90 degrees, so that the material receiving tray 12 returns to the initial state, preparing for the next round of bar insertion.
