[0032] It is understandable that materials such as tablet-like medicines are loaded into the feed component 100 manually or by upstream transportation equipment, and the materials are discharged through the first discharge port 110. The discharged materials fall on the discharge channel 210. Based on the inclined setting of the discharge channel 210, the vibration component is used as a power source, so that the discharge channel 210 can discharge materials by vibration. The output material falls on the weighing component 300, and the weighing component 300 determines the weight of the output material in real time and feeds it back to the controller. The controller adjusts the amplitude of the vibration component in real time according to the set required weight, thereby adjusting the discharge speed of the discharge channel 210 to achieve precise control. When the material on the weighing mechanism reaches the set weight, the controller controls the vibration component to stop, and takes out or outputs the material on the weighing mechanism to the downstream mechanism.
