[0033] As an optional solution of Example 1, the four groups of spring clamps 6 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the discharge box 3 to ensure that the paper roll 9 enters the receiving cavity 5 .

[0034] When in use, the storage basket 8 is filled with paper rolls 9, and the lifting linear module 10 is driven to change the height position of the mechanical arm 2, which is easy to adjust and easy to operate. The opening of the discharge box 3 is adjusted downward by the mechanical arm 2.
