[0026] When the material in the lifting box 1 needs to be mixed, the two rotating rods 4 and the two rotating shafts 5 are controlled to rotate by the driving assembly, and in the rotating process, the plurality of stirring rods 6 will stir and mix the material in the lifting box 1, and the mounting rod 9 will also rotate, and the rotating ring 8 will not rotate with the rotating shaft 5 due to the action of the fixing rod 2, and the sliding plate 14 threaded on the mounting rod 9 will take the piston rod 13 to move transversely, and in the moving process, the space between the end of the piston rod 13 and the groove wall of the feeding groove 12 will change from small to large and then from large to small, when the space size increases, the pressure decreases, and the material in the lifting box 1 will enter the feeding groove 12 from the feeding pipe 15, and when the space size decreases, the pressure increases, and the material in the feeding groove 12 will enter the mounting groove 7 from the discharge pipe 10, that is, inside the rotating shaft 5, and then the material in the mounting groove 7 will be extruded into the plurality of material pipes 17 from the plurality of rectangular openings 16 under the action of the centrifugal force, and then be thrown into the lifting box 1 again, the thrown material can play a turbulence effect, thereby accelerating the working efficiency of material mixing, and the thrown material can be transferred to other positions, including the area far away from the stirring rod 6, so as to expand the mixing area.
