The sliding distance of the push block 317 is controlled, that is, the rotation angle of the fixed measuring block 313 can be controlled, and then the position of the fixed measuring block 313 can be precisely controlled. Specifically, the sliding distance of the pushing block 317 can be controlled by controlling the abutting mechanism 4, so that the metering block 313 is ensured to rotate to the discharging position accurately, and the metering block 313 is positioned at the feeding position accurately by arranging the second limiting structure. The second restoring member 318 is made of a material having elasticity, such as a spring. Referring to fig. 15, the pushing block 317 has an initial position corresponding to the feeding position and an end position corresponding to the discharging position, the second resetting piece 318 is disposed between the pushing block 317 and the inner side wall of the second cavity 31b, when the pushing block 317 is at the initial position, the quantifying block 313 is at the feeding position, and the second resetting piece 318 is in a natural extension state; when the push block 317 slides towards the end position, the quantitative block 313 rotates towards the material discharging position, the second resetting piece 318 compresses the accumulated force, after the material box 31 finishes the feeding operation, the push block 317 is reset from the end position to the initial position under the action of the elastic force of the second resetting piece 318, and the quantitative block 313 is reset to the feeding position along with the reset, so that the subsequent feeding operation is facilitated.

Specifically, the second limiting portion and the second matching portion have multiple arrangement modes, in this embodiment, an abdicating groove 3161 extending along the horizontal direction is formed in the inner side wall of the second cavity 31b, a second convex portion 3162b is formed in the inner end side wall of the push block 317, and the second convex portion 3162b extends into the abdicating groove 3161; the second protrusion 3162b forms the stopper, and one of two groove walls of the receding groove 3161, which are disposed opposite to each other in the horizontal direction, forms the engaging portion. Referring to fig. 14 to 15, in the present embodiment, when the pushing block 317 moves from the final position to the initial position, the first groove wall 3161a of the avoiding groove 3161 abuts against the second protrusion 3162b, so that the pushing block 317 is restricted from moving further, the quantitative block 313 is accurately positioned at the feeding position, and the quantitative groove 313a is ensured to be communicated with the first cavity 31 a.
