The weighing frame 31 contacts and drives the ink bucket to separate from the roller.

[0073] Each spray valve is connected to a specific material via a pipeline. When that material is needed, the first air cylinder 223 drives the corresponding inkjet valve 23 to be positioned directly below the valve driver 24. The valve driver 24 descends to a designated position. The first air cylinder 223 drives the jaws on the valve driver 24 to grasp the valve stem of the spray valve, causing the valve driver 24 to move upward and open the spray valve, causing it to spray a predetermined amount of material. Once completed, the jaws on the valve driver 24 release, the driver retracts, and the first air cylinder 223 retracts the corresponding inkjet valve 23. This cycle continues until all materials have been discharged. After discharge is complete, the stopper 141 of the stopper mechanism 14 is released, and the oil barrel is conveyed by the second roller conveyor 12 to the third roller conveyor 13. A worker then places the barrel on the mounting platform 131 and places a cap on the ink barrel. The pressing module descends to a designated position and presses the cap against the ink barrel. The capping module retracts, and the ink barrel is transported away by the third roller conveyor 13.
