[0042] A quantitative discharging mechanism 4 is arranged below the discharging hopper 2, the quantitative discharging mechanism 4 comprises a rotating column 41 and a sleeve 42, the rotating column 41 is rotationally arranged in the interior of the sleeve 42, and the outer sidewall of the rotating column 41 is in frictional contact with the inner sidewall of the sleeve 42, the sleeve 42 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the discharging hopper 2, and the upper end of the sleeve 42 is in communication with the lower end of the discharging hopper 2, the lower end of the sleeve 42 is provided with a discharging port 421, and the lower end of the discharging port 421 is arranged between the extrusion rollers 3, and the outer sidewall of the rotating column 41 is provided with a containing groove 411.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, the granulating structure can control the speed of the material output from the discharging hopper 2 by arranging the quantitative discharging mechanism 4, and the material entering the interior of the sleeve 42 from the discharging hopper 2 can only be discharged from the discharging port 421 when falling into the containing groove 411, so that the material falling between the extrusion rollers 3 is avoided from being too much, and meanwhile, the material in the containing groove 411 is further dispersed and uniformed by rotating the rotating column 41 to contact the inner wall of the sleeve 42, so as to ensure that the granulating structure produces granules with the same density.

[0044] In addition, some of the prior art granulating structures are provided with a chopping mechanism below the extrusion rollers 3, the material extruded into thin sheets by the extrusion rollers 3 is chopped into small granules for collection, some of the granulating structures directly extrude the material into blocky granules by means of the slotted surface of the extrusion rollers 3, and some of the granulating structures do not process the material extruded into thin sheets and directly collect the material. Since the technical problem solved in the present application is not necessarily related to the detailed structural features of the extrusion rollers 3, the part is not described in detail in the present application.

[0045] Embodiment Two
