  • the front end of the straight bar 411 is positioned at the front plate of the container 24.
  • the rear end of the straight bar 411 is connected with the arbor of the motor 42. Thereby, the tobacco leaves in the container 24 can be agitated by each short pillar 412 when the agitator 41 rotates.
  • the pressure regulator 5 includes a pressure-regulating module 51 and a pressing element 52.
  • the pressure-regulating module 51 includes a first fixing seat 53, a second fixing seat 54, an elastic element 55, and an adjusting element 56.
  • the first fixing seat 23 is fixed at the L-shape plate of the seat 21;
  • the second fixing seat 54 is a flat plate;
  • the elastic element 55 is a U-shape spring;
  • the adjusting element 56 is a tap bolt.
  • the adjusting element 56 is screwed and positioned at the upright plate of the first fixing seat 53.
  • Two ends of the elastic element 55 are respectively connected with one end of the adjusting element 56 and the pressing element 52.
  • One end of the pressing element 52 is pivotally connected to the second fixing seat 54.
  • the rotary disc 6 includes a seat 61 and a plurality of tubes 62.
  • the seat 61 is provided with plural positioning plates 63 that are spaced from each other and a support plate 64.
  • the peripheries of each positioning plate 63 are provided with positioning recesses 631 that are arranged in a form of circular array and used for positioning tubes 62 respectively.
  • the support plate 64 is provided thereon with a plurality of positioning holes arranged in a form of circular array for positioning the rear ends of the tubes 62 respectively. Consequently, the tubes 62 are arranged in a form of circular array at the peripheries of the seat 61.
