[0052] Principle description:

[0053] The drive shaft 110 receives the power output of a drive motor (not shown in the figure) and drives the drive rod 120 to rotate together;

[0054] The drive head 1220 of the drive rod 120, through the movable connection and cooperation with the drive rod slot 1310, pushes the intermittent turntable 130 and the turntable bevel gear 140 to rotate together. Each time it rotates by an angle A, and then leaves the current drive rod slot 1310;

[0055] At this time, the intermittent turntable 130 and the turntable bevel gear 140 stop rotating for a time T until the drive rod 120 starts to contact the next drive rod slot 1310;

[0056] The drive rod 120 continues to rotate, and the next drive rod slot 1310 starts to have a driving cooperation with the drive head 1220. At this time, the intermittent turntable 130 and the turntable bevel gear 140 continue to rotate by an angle A, and then have an intermittent period of time T.
