[0032] As attached Figure 1 and 3As shown, the injection device 3 includes a second bracket 31, a filling hopper 32 and an injection pipe 33. The second bracket 31 is fixed to the crossbeams 11 on both sides of the conveyor 1, so that the cakes and breads being transported can pass under the second bracket 31. The filling hopper 32 is fixed to the second bracket 31, and a vertical discharge pipe 321 is provided at the lower end of the filling hopper 32, and the filling in the filling hopper 32 flows downward from the discharge pipe 321 to the cakes and breads transported under the second bracket 31. Furthermore, the discharge pipe 321 is provided with a solenoid valve 34, and the solenoid valve 34 controls the flow of the filling passing through the discharge pipe 321, that is, the solenoid valve 34 controls the opening or closing of the lower end of the filling hopper 32, so that the filling can flow downward from the discharge pipe 321 or cannot flow downward.
[0033] Please refer to the attached Figure 4 , the injection pipe 33 is sleeved outside the discharge pipe 321, and the injection pipe 33 is located under the solenoid valve 34 and moves vertically relative to the discharge pipe 321.
