[0021] Working principle: When mixing raw materials using this invention, raw materials with different properties are processed in batches, and those with similar properties are added together to the feed inlet 7. Then, the second motor 6 on the machine body 1 is started. The second motor 6 drives the mixing component 3 via the lead screw 2 to mix the raw materials. The lead screw 2 drives the first threaded half-cylinder 34. The first threaded half-cylinder 34 drives the housing 31 via the first telescopic rod 33. The housing 31 drives the fixed seat 321 via the extrusion plate 32. The fixed seat 321 drives the conical slider 323 via the mounting shaft 322. The conical slider 323 moves along the threaded groove 11 and carries the extrusion plate 32 up and down spirally. The raw materials are mixed in various ways through the through holes on the extrusion plate 32. Then, the second motor 6 is turned off, and raw materials with different properties are added. The extrusion plate 32 is adjusted using the adjusting component 4. The first motor 45 is started. The first motor 45 drives the spur gear 47 via the second rotating shaft 46. The spur gear 47 drives the first gear... The first threaded half-cylinder 34 is opened by the bar 341, and the second threaded half-cylinder 41 is closed by the spur gear 47 via the second rack 411. At this time, the second telescopic rod 421 is extended. Then the second motor 6 is started. The second motor 6 drives the driving wheel 42 via the lead screw 2. The driving wheel 42 drives the first rotating shaft 43 via the driven wheel 44. The first rotating shaft 43 drives the extrusion plate 32 to rotate and adjust the angle. Then the second motor 6 is turned off. After the first threaded half-cylinder 34 and the second threaded half-cylinder 41 are reset, the mixing component 3 is used to mix the raw materials. Finally, the mixture is discharged through the discharge port 8. During the mixing process, the filter component 5 will continuously collect the powder.
