The metering cylinder 3 is a hollow cylinder, both ends of the metering cylinder 3 are communicated with the outside, one end of the metering cylinder 3 is communicated with the storage cylinder 2 to form a discharging port 31, and the other end of the metering cylinder 3 extends vertically downward. An opening and closing assembly 4 for controlling opening and closing of the metering cylinder 3 is installed at the position of the one end of the metering cylinder 3 close to the storage cylinder 2. A plurality of plug-in holes 33 are equidistantly arranged on the side wall of the metering cylinder 3 along the length direction, and an adjusting baffle 32 is plugged into one of the plug-in holes 33 of the metering cylinder 3. The adjusting baffle 32 moves in the radial direction of the metering cylinder 3. The mounting frame 1 is provided with a first driving member 5 for driving the adjusting baffle 32 to move and a driving assembly 6 for driving the adjusting baffle 32 to move in the axial direction, so that the adjusting baffle 32 can be plugged into different plug-in holes 33 by control, the size of the space before the adjusting baffle 32 and the opening and closing assembly 4 can be controlled, and then the metering can be completed, and the amount of ice falling into the cup can be more accurately controlled.

[0034] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The opening and closing assembly 4 comprises an opening and closing baffle 41 and a second driving member 42. The opening and closing baffle 41 is consistent with the structure of the adjusting baffle 32. The opening and closing baffle 41 is horizontally arranged and is inserted into one of the insertion holes 33 of the metering cylinder 3 closest to the storage cylinder 2. The second driving member 42 is a first electric push rod 421. The first electric push rod 421 is fixedly installed on the mounting rack 1. The telescopic rod of the first electric push rod 421 is radially telescopic towards the metering cylinder 3. The telescopic rod of the first electric push rod 421 is fixedly connected to the opening and closing baffle 41. Thus, the opening and closing baffle 41 can be inserted into or separated from the metering cylinder 3 through the insertion hole 33 to control the opening and closing of the metering cylinder 3.
