By designing the cleaning mechanism 8, it is convenient to clean the inside of the feed inlet 1.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The connecting mechanism 9 includes an insert block 91, which is slidably fitted inside the pressure plate 85. A push rod 92 is fixedly connected to the top of the insert block 91, and the push rod 92 is slidably connected to the pressure plate 85.

[0025] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, the material is first input through the feed inlet 1. After the feeding is completed, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the pressure rod 4 to move down. The pressure rod 4 will drive the fixed seat 6 and the pressure cover 5 to move down. The pressure cover 5 will first be fitted inside the feed inlet 1, and the pressure cover 5 can close the feed inlet 1. Then the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the pressure rod 4 to continue to move down. The pressure rod 4 will drive the slider 82 to slide along the fixed rod 83 and squeeze the first spring 84. Under the elastic action of the first spring 84, a downward pushing force will be given to the fixed seat 6, so that the pressure cover 5 can be tightly attached to the feed inlet 1. When the pressure rod 4 moves down, it will drive the pressure plate 85 and the scraper ring 86 to move down. The pressure plate 85 can prevent the material from splashing out when mixing. At the same time, it can realize the sliding of the scraper ring 86 inside the feed inlet 1. The scraper ring 86 can scrape off the residual material on the inner wall of the feed inlet 1 and push it down, which can avoid the problem of material residue causing waste.

[0026] When the scraper ring 86 needs to be disassembled, first move the pressure plate 85 out of the feed port 1, then push the push rod 92 horizontally. The push rod 92 drives the insert block 91 to move horizontally, and the insert block 91 drives the magnetic suction rod 94 to move horizontally. The insert block 91 will squeeze the second spring 95. When the magnetic suction rod 94 is attracted to the magnet 96, the insert block 91 will slide out from the inside of the scraper ring 86. Then the scraper ring 86 can be removed from the pressure plate 85, which makes it easy to disassemble the scraper ring 86. After use, it is easy to disassemble and clean the scraper ring 86 for subsequent reuse.
