First, a small thread 12 can be set on the upper side of the inner wall of the discharge tube 1, and then a large thread 13 can be set on the upper side of the inner wall of the connecting end 11 to set the connection structure between the discharge tube 1 and the adapter body 4. An outward expansion cover 2 is provided on the top of the connecting end 11 to facilitate the pouring of raw materials. Then, a locking component 3 is provided on the lower side of the inner part of the connecting end 11. When the adapter body 4 is connected to the connecting end 11, the locking component 3 can be used to lock the outside of the adapter body 4, limit the position of the adapter body 4, and increase the connection stability between the adapter body 4 and the discharge tube 1; then, the adapter body 4 is provided with two parts, an insertion end 41 and an access end 42, and the access end 42 can be used in conjunction with the small thread 12 to realize the connection between the adapter body 4 and the discharge tube 1. When the raw material bottle is connected When the adapter body 4 is connected, the bottle mouth of the raw material bottle can be passed through the insertion end 41, and the insertion end 41 and the raw material bottle are penetrated and connected through the groove of the bucket-shaped structure, and a threaded strip used in conjunction with the raw material bottle can be provided in the groove; then a clamping sleeve 5 is provided on the top of the insertion end 41 to pass through the insertion end 41.

[0028] The cam 32 is screwed onto the top of the adapter 31 so that the adapter 31 can be tightened to the outside of the adapter 31.
[0029] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the connection between the adapter body 4 and the feed pipe 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the narrow end of the transition bucket 31 will be set close to the discharge pipe 1, and the transition bucket 31 and the discharge pipe 1 will be set through.
