The drive belt 707 connects the pulley 705 and the belt groove 706 to transmit power and make the material distribution disc 5 rotate.
[0035] The bottom of the fabric tray 5 is fixedly connected to multiple nozzles 501 arranged in a ring. The nozzles 501 spray the liquid introduced by the liquid inlet pipe 4 evenly onto the starch. The outer wall of the stirring block 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the tank 1 to ensure that the stirring block 6 can fully stir the starch milk when rotating, promote the uniform distribution of water flow, and enhance the starch milk preparation effect.
[0036] A support frame 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 2. The support frame 201 is used to fix the liquid inlet pipe 4 to ensure the stability of the liquid inlet pipe 4 so that it can still enter the liquid normally when the fabric tray 5 rotates. The liquid inlet pipe 4 is fixedly installed inside the support frame 201. An annular movable block 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid inlet pipe 4. An annular movable groove 502 is opened on the top of the fabric tray 5.
