1. A dispensing assembly, comprising:
at least one mounting plate with a plurality of openings arranged in a row along a first direction;
a rotatable shaft located adjacent to the at least one mounting plate, an axis of the rotatable shaft being substantially
parallel to the first direction;
a plurality of blocking plates pivotably attached at edges of the plurality of openings; and
a plurality of jacking members attached to the rotatable shaft, wherein each of the plurality of jacking members protrudes
from the shaft along a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the shaft; lengths along the second
direction of the plurality of jacking members are different from each other; when the shaft is rotated to an initial position,
the plurality of jacking members disengage away from the plurality of blocking plates, and the plurality of blocking plates
are received in the plurality of openings; when the shaft is rotated to a working position, the plurality of blocking plates
is rotated out of the plurality of openings to positions slanted relative to the at least one mounting plate by the plurality
of jacking members, and slanting angles of the plurality of blocking plates relative to the at least one mounting plate are
