[0028] like Figure 2-3As shown, further, the flow control component 5 includes: a shell, a third drive motor 511, a support base 501 arranged inside the shell, and a connecting pipe 514 arranged on one side of the support base 501; the speed of the third drive motor 511 can be pre-set according to the flow situation, and when started, the food flow speed is controlled by the speed of the third drive motor 511; a wedge-shaped slide groove 502 is provided on the working surface of the support base 501, and the wedge-shaped slide groove 502 is slidably connected to the receiving seat 503, and a rectangular groove is provided on the working surface of the receiving seat 503, and the rectangular groove is slidably connected to the flow block 508; the receiving seat 503 and the flow block 508 have a predetermined friction coefficient; a side plate 5 is provided on one side of the support base 501 05, the side plate 505 is arranged opposite to the third drive motor 511; a limit rod 506 is provided on one side of the side plate 505, and the limit rod 506 is located at the upper end of the support base 501, and the limit rod 506 is outer-mounted with a clamping plate 507, and when the clamping plate 507 is subjected to external force, the clamping plate 507 can be flexibly rotated on the limit rod 506; when working, the clamping plate 507 is against the baffle 508; a rack 509 is provided on one side of the receiving seat 503, and the rack 509 is meshed with a gear 510, and the gear 510 is connected to the output end of the third drive motor 511; the third drive motor 511 passes through one side of the outer shell; the gear 510 is not in contact with the support base 501.
