[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a taro ball manufacturing machine, including a machine 110, which is provided with a conveyor line 130, an extrusion device 111 (the extrusion device is a prior art, such as the extrusion device 111 in patent CN221469020U), a powdering component 200, a cutting component 120 and an anti-sticking component 300. The extrusion device 111 is located at one end of the conveyor line 130, and the conveyor line 130 passes through the powdering component 200, the cutting component 120 and the anti-sticking component 300 in sequence; the anti-sticking component 300 includes a first bracket 310, a screw 312, slider 311, first motor 313, electric push rod 314, push plate 315, the lead screw 312 is rotatably mounted on the first bracket, the lead screw 312 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 313, the slider 311 is slidably sleeved on the lead screw 312, the electric push rod 314 is vertically mounted on the slider 311, the output end of the electric push rod 314 is connected to the push plate 315, the push plate 315 is opposite to the conveyor line 130, and a plurality of horizontal raised strips 316 are provided on the bottom surface of the push plate 315, and the horizontal raised strips 316 are perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line 130.

[0022] The extrusion device 111 squeezes the taro ball raw materials into strips, which are then transported to the powdering assembly 200 by the conveyor line 130 for powdering, and then cut into small pieces by the cutting assembly 120. The anti-sticking assembly 300 then pushes the taro ball pieces to roll and coat them with powder to prevent the taro ball pieces from sticking together. Specifically, the electric push rod 314 is started, driving the push plate 315 to move downward, the first motor 313 is started, driving the screw 312 to rotate, and the slider 311 slides horizontally inside the slide groove, with a sliding distance of 3-5 cm, so that the push plate 315 is above the taro ball block, and the horizontal raised strip 316 and the conveying direction of the taro ball block are in a vertical cross state, which facilitates the horizontal raised strip 316 to roll the taro ball block back and forth in the horizontal direction and perform corrugated printing on the taro ball block. The moving distance of the slider 311 is designed according to the circumference of the side-cut circular surface of the taro ball block, and is conventionally preferably set to 3 cm, which enables the taro ball block to flip over for a circle. While maintaining continuous conveying, the back of the taro ball block is adhered to the flour on the conveyor belt to prevent the taro ball blocks from sticking together.

[0023] The powder spreading assembly 200 includes a second bracket 213, a flour bin 212, and a cylindrical brush 211. The bottom of the flour bin 212 is provided with a lower powder trough 214. The cylindrical brush 211 is rotatably mounted within the flour bin 212. A second motor 210 (preferably a micromotor) is mounted on the side of the flour bin 212, and the driving end of the second motor 210 is connected to one end of the cylindrical brush 211. When the micromotor is activated, it drives the cylindrical brush 211 to rotate. The cylindrical brush 211 rotates and rolls, continuously spreading flour through the lower powder trough 214 and outward.

The two baffles 123 are spaced apart, and the running path of the cutting blade 122 passes through the gap between the two baffles 123. When the electric cylinder 121 is activated, it drives the cutting blade 122 to move up and down, causing the ends of the cutting blade 122 to slide up and down in the guide grooves 124, thereby cutting the strip material into pieces. By controlling the electric cylinder 121 , the length of the cut pieces can be controlled. When the cutting blade 122 moves upward, if foreign matter adheres to the cutting blade 122 , it will be blocked by the baffles 123 , thereby preventing the taro balls from adhering to the cutting blade 122 .
