Next, a step (S40) of dropping the dried raw material onto an inclined multi-stage movable tray and putting it into a container according to the capacity by vibration of an automatic weighing machine is performed.

Conventional automatic weighing machines applied vibration to the movable tray using an eccentric motor installed on the lower surface of the movable tray to generate vibration and a spring supporting the eccentric motor. Due to this vibration, the content on the inclined moving tray was weighed on the principle that it gradually went down.

However, the size of vibration of the eccentric vibration motor of the conventional automatic weighing machine is small, so it is insufficient to send down large particles such as feed particles, coffee beans, and garlic. Furthermore, even when adjusting the fine amount, it was difficult to adjust the fine amount of large particles due to weak vibration.

Disclosed in the present invention is a configuration in which vibration is generated using a gear and a heel without using an eccentric vibration motor, and an additional impact is applied to disrupt the clumped contents.

In FIG. 10( a ), the switch 780 is open and current does not flow. Therefore, since magnetic flux is not formed in the striking spring 750, the force of attraction to the magnetic stick 720 does not act.

However, in FIG. 10( b ), the switch 780 is shorted and current may flow. The current going out from the anode of the DC power supply 790 sequentially passes through the first electrode 741, the conductor cover 740, the impact spring 750, the magnetic stick 720 and the case 710 to the second electrode 715. When it reaches the negative electrode of the DC power source 790, magnetic flux is generated in the strike spring 750 and pulls the magnetic stick 720 toward the conductor cover 740. Therefore, the magnetic stick 720 enters the inside of the cylindrical case 710. At this time, when the switch 780 is opened, the magnetic stick 720 moves outside due to the disappearance of attraction due to the sudden removal of magnetic flux and the elasticity of the strike spring 750. pops out with However, it may be stopped by the stopper 721.
