[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This utility model allows the adjustment component to move the limiting component, thereby adjusting the size of the internal space of the dispenser. The drive component can drive the dispenser to rotate, allowing the collected popcorn to be taken out. Each portion has the same capacity and can be adjusted according to different sizes (large, medium, small). It can then be pre-filled, improving filling efficiency and meeting different customer needs. Compared with existing technologies, it is convenient to adjust the capacity of the dispenser according to needs, thereby obtaining the corresponding capacity. Moreover, it eliminates the need for manual filling, resulting in higher efficiency and more accurate quantitative measurement.

[0013] 2. The present invention forms a hopper between two adjacent feeder bodies for collecting popcorn. By retracting the electric push rod, the limiting plate can be moved, which in turn causes the limiting block to slide along the hopper, thus adjusting the capacity of the hopper. The groove is adapted to the electric push rod and will not affect its retraction.

[0014] 3. This utility model involves feeding popcorn into a hopper, the size of which is adapted to the hopper outlet, allowing popcorn to enter the hopper through the first through hole. Starting the motor drives the connected second gear to rotate, which in turn rotates the meshing first gear, driving the rotating rod and causing the distributor to rotate. After the hopper is full, the distributor's body seals the first through hole as it rotates, preventing further popcorn from entering and ensuring accurate metering. As it continues to rotate, the next hopper can connect with the first through hole, collecting popcorn again. When the hopper rotates to the second through hole, popcorn will flow out. A collection device, such as a paper tube, can be placed in the cavity between the distributor and the support for collection. The limiting frame provides guidance to prevent popcorn from splashing, and the protective shell protects the drive components. Attached Figure Description
