The bead receiving assembly is arranged below the rotating disc 21. When the rotating disc 21 is rotated to the position that the open end of the groove 211 is opposite to the bead receiving assembly, the beads in the groove 211 fall into the bead receiving assembly under the action of gravity.

[0028] The bead bin 1 can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and the like, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, chemical stability and the like, so as to facilitate high temperature sterilization of the bead bin 1 and the beads in the bead bin 1.

[0029] The discharge port 11 can be located at one end of the bead bin 1 close to the bead receiving assembly, so that the beads in the bead bin 1 can fall into the bead receiving assembly through the discharge port 11 under the action of gravity.

The lower side of the lower opening of the bead receiving groove 3 can be provided with a bead container, and the beads can directly fall into the bead container through the lower opening, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the beads. In this way, when the rotating groove 211 rotates to be in communication with the upper opening of the bead receiving groove 3, the beads in the groove 211 can fall into the bead container through the upper opening and the lower opening under the action of gravity.
