In this embodiment, the control unit 100 recognizes each module control unit through the ID of each module control unit, so that the individual nutrient supply modules 10 can be individually The module control unit can be recognized and commands can be issued to each of them.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 8 denotes a storage portion, in which a plurality of nutrients are stored in the form of granules as granules. Reference numeral 15 denotes a module operation section, in which a module control section and a motor for rotating the rotor 90 are installed.

FIG. 3 to FIG. 6 are views showing the structure of a nutrient supply module 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the nutrient supply module 10 has the module control unit 15 having the module control unit and the motor, and the storage unit 8.

The storage unit 8 stores a plurality of granular nutrients 3 made of nutritional ingredients. (See Figs. 7 and 8)

According to the present invention, the nutrient (3) is made of a granule, which is obtained by powdering the individual nutritional ingredients and then imparting tackiness or the like through moisture absorption and the like, and aggregating these powders into granules Followed by drying, etc., and each granule has a unit weight. That is, each grain has the same weight. Thus, the number of granules in the unit weight determines the weight of the total nutrients.

For example, if nutrient A is required to weigh 3, nutrient B is required to weigh 7, and granular nutrient granules each have a unit weight of 1, three nutrients A can be extracted, B can extract 7 pieces.

The storage unit 8 has an upper storage unit 81 and a lower communication storage unit 83 and the communication storage unit 83 has an opening 88 formed on a side surface thereof .

And the rotor 90 according to the present invention is provided in communication with the open portion 88 formed in the side surface of the communication storage portion 83.

The rotor 90 is rotated by the power of the motor built in the module operation part 15.

According to the present invention, a discharge portion is provided at a lower portion of the rotor 90, which is formed with a discharge port 48 corresponding to the receiving groove 98 of the rotor 90.

That is, the discharge portion corresponds to the discharge port 48 of the rotor 90 when the rotor 90 rotates corresponds to the receiving groove 98 of the rotor 90. When the receiving groove 98 corresponds to the discharging port 48, the nutrient grains 3 received in the receiving groove 98 of the rotor 90 fall through the discharging port 48, And is conveyed to the packaging section 7 through the hopper 6.

In the present embodiment, a first cover 41 for enclosing the rotor 90 is provided, and the outlet 48 described above is formed at the lower portion of the first cover 41. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first cover 41 will be referred to as a discharge portion according to the present invention.

According to the present invention, the discharge port 48 of the discharge unit 41 is provided with a discharge nutrient number detection sensor 60 for detecting the number of nutrients in the form of granules which are dropped and discharged through the discharge port 48.

In the present embodiment, the exhaust nutrient number detection sensor 60 is provided with an optical sensor.

In the present embodiment, a second cover 43 provided outside the first cover 41 is provided.

The communicating reservoir 83 is provided with an inclined portion 67 for guiding the nutrient 3 constituting the granular material of the storage portion 8 into the receiving groove 98 of the rotor 90 .

7 and 8, the control unit 100 designates the kind of the necessary nutrients and extracts the required number of nutrients by the nutrient supply module 10 storing the nutrient therein .

For example, if a particular supplement consists of nutrient A, nutrient B and nutrient C, each of which weighs 3, 5, and 9, Order the release of five nutrients B as a nutrient supply module that commands release and stores nutrient B, and commands the release of nine nutrients C as a nutrient supply module that stores nutrient C.

Then, the module control unit of the nutrient ingredient supply module receiving each command controls the motor to rotate the rotor 90 to receive the nutrient 3 of the storage unit 8 into the receiving groove 98 of the rotor 90 And the receiving groove 98 containing the nutrient drops into the hopper 6 through the outlet 48 when the outlet port 48 of the outlet portion 41 corresponds to the outlet port 48. At this time, The module control unit recognizes the number of the nutrients discharged and stops rotation of the rotor 90 when the number reaches the commanded number.

Accordingly, the individual nutrient supply module 10 discharges nutrients as many as the number ordered from the controller 100.
