[0029] The four tensioning rollers 412 in the first group are arranged in a row in the left-right direction, and a roller is provided corresponding to the leftmost and rightmost tensioning rollers 412. The outer side surface of the roller abuts against the outer side surface of the tensioning roller 412, thereby preventing the tensioning roller 412 from rotating too fast. In addition, the roller can move in the left-right direction, thereby adjusting the degree of extrusion between the roller and the corresponding tensioning roller 412.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bag-supporting mechanism 42 includes: a horizontal rod 4211 and a vertical rod 4212, wherein the horizontal rod 4211 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the top end of the vertical rod 4212 is fixedly connected to the front end of the horizontal rod 4211;

[0031] A first vertical plate 4221 and a second vertical plate 4222 are disposed below the horizontal rod 4211. The first and second vertical plates are symmetrically and parallelly disposed in the left direction. The first and second vertical plates can be away from or close to each other.
