The main pipe body 43 is arranged and distributed with a connecting rod 44 on both sides. The number of the connecting rod 44 is consistent with the number of the sub-packaging tank 4. The main pipe body 43 corresponds to the fixed collar 42 through the connecting rod 44. The lower surface of the middle end of the main pipe body 43 is provided with a swing rod 45.

[0027] In this embodiment, the central part of the inner bottom surface of the accommodating chamber 2 is provided with a positioning plate 46.
