[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] The usage method of the present invention is as follows:

[0038] S1. After preparing the materials, place them in the feed inlet 101;

[0039] S2. Move the material spreading hopper 5 directly below the guide plate 405;

[0040] S3. Through the hoist 1, lift the materials from the feed inlet 101 to the discharge outlet 102 and vertically drop them onto the material distribution plate 404; adjust the angle of the material distribution plate 404 through the electric push rod 406, and then evenly sprinkle the materials onto the guide plate 405. The materials fall onto the material spreading hopper 5 through the guide plate 405;

[0041] S4. Manually move the material spreading hopper 5, driving the horizontal displacement of the rotary arm 2 and the vertical displacement of the suspension balance mechanism 3, and drive the material spreading hopper 5 to the "steam area" of the wine steamer for uniform spreading.

[0042] The specific working process is as follows:

[0043] a. Material transfer preparation: Place the hoist 1 between two wine steamers in the brewing workshop, connect and fix it to the ground through the fixing plate a3, and transfer the materials to be steamed to the feed inlet 101;

[0044] b. Position adjustment: Detect the weight and position of the material spreading hopper 5 in cooperation with the suspension balance mechanism 3, and adjust the motor torque; Manually grasp the handle b1 of the material spreading hopper 5, so that the material spreading hopper 5 moves vertically under the drive of the human hand and is suspended and balanced at a specified height, driving the rotary arm 2 to move the material spreading hopper 5 in the horizontal plane. The two cooperate to realize the three-dimensional space position movement of the material spreading hopper 5 within the range of the wine steamer;

[0045] c Material lifting and transfer: When the material spreading hopper 5 reaches directly below the left guiding plate 405, the suspension balance mechanism 3 feeds back the position signal, starts the feeding motor of the elevator 1 to load materials, and the electric push rod 406 opens the left material distributing plate 404, so that the materials enter the material spreading hopper 5;

[0046] The same applies to the right side; if the position signals of the material spreading hopper 5 are detected on both the left and right sides, the feeding motor of the elevator 1 is started to load materials based on the signal of the side detected first, and the corresponding electric push rod 406 on the corresponding side opens the corresponding material distributing plate 404; the corresponding electric push rod 406 and the material distributing plate 404 on the corresponding side are closed based on the signal of the side that disappears first; the feeding motor of the elevator 1 is stopped from loading materials and the corresponding electric push rod 406 on the corresponding side closes the corresponding material distributing plate 404 based on the signal of the side that disappears later.

[0047] d Steam detecting and potting: Under the moment balance of the suspension balance mechanism 3, an operator can easily control the material spreading hopper 5. With the cooperation of its flexible rope and rotary disk, the displacement of the material spreading hopper 5 is changed to spread materials into the pot in the "steam area".
