However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted, and similar parts throughout the specification are denoted by similar reference numerals. Throughout the specification, when a part is described as being "connected" to another part, this includes not only cases where they are "directly connected," but also cases where they are "electrically connected" with other components interposed between them. Furthermore, when a part is described as "including" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components. The present invention relates to a rotary type dispenser module for an automatic cooking system. Before describing the rotary type dispenser module, an automatic cooking system (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIGS. 1 and 2 are drawings of an automatic cooking system (10) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The automatic cooking system (10) of the present invention includes a gun-type dispenser module (100), a rotary-type dispenser module (200), an external scale (not shown), a container transfer module (300), and a control unit (not shown). The automatic cooking system (10) can move a container holding food ingredients to the gun-type dispenser module (100) or the rotary-type dispenser module (200) using the container transfer module (300), and then collect the food ingredients in the container. A gun-type dispenser module (100) is a module that discharges liquid food ingredients, and a rotary-type dispenser module (200) is a module that discharges solid food ingredients. Additionally, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the automatic cooking system (10) may each be equipped with a plurality of gun-type dispenser modules (100) and rotary-type dispenser modules (200). Additionally, the gun-type dispenser module (100) includes a sauce bottle (150) for storing liquid food ingredients, and each sauce bottle (150) may be filled with a different liquid food ingredient. The rotary-type dispenser module (200) includes a container section (210) for storing solid food ingredients, and each container section (210) may store various food ingredients in a state where they have been trimmed to a predetermined size. The detailed configuration of the gun-type dispenser module (100) and the rotary-type dispenser module (200) will be described later. The external scale measures the weight of the container holding the food ingredients discharged from the gun-type dispenser module (100) and the rotary-type dispenser module (200), and the weight of the food ingredients. Additionally, the external scale may be mounted on the container transfer module (300) or located at the bottom of the gun-type dispenser module (100) or the rotary-type dispenser module (200). The container transfer module (300) transfers the container. Since the above-described container transfer module (300) can utilize existing automated transfer means, such as a conventional multi-joint robot arm, a description of the specific configuration is omitted. The control unit controls the gun-type dispenser module (100), the rotary-type dispenser module (200), and the container transfer module (300). The control unit controls the container transfer module (300) to move the container to the gun-type dispenser module (100) or the rotary-type dispenser module (200) according to the received information. For example, when an order is received, the control unit determines the movement path of the container transfer module (300) and the operation sequence of the gun-type dispenser module (100) and the rotary-type dispenser module (200) according to the order details, and operates the container transfer module (300) according to the determined operation sequence to collect the necessary food ingredients. In addition, the control unit can control the weight of the food ingredients discharged from the gun-type dispenser module (100) or the rotary-type dispenser module (200) based on weight information received from an external scale. A detailed explanation of this will be provided later. For example, the automatic cooking system (10) may be a system for cooking salad. In this case, the dry-type dispenser module (100) may discharge liquid ingredients such as sauces, and the rotary-type dispenser module (200) may discharge solid ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, and meat. Briefly describing the operating mechanism of such a salad cooking system, first, the user selects ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, meat, and sauces, or selects the type of salad, and the control unit may determine the movement path of the container transfer module (300) and the operation sequence of the dry-type dispenser module (100) and the rotary-type dispenser module (200) based on the received data. Next, the container can be moved to the rotary type dispenser module (200) via the container transfer module (300) to collect selected vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. discharged at a preset weight, and the container can be moved to the gun type dispenser module (100) to collect selected sauce discharged at a preset weight, after which the finished salad can be provided to the user. At this time, the control unit measures the weight of the ingredients placed in the container through an external scale and can control the gun type dispenser module (100) or the rotary type dispenser module (200) by taking into account the time it takes for the ingredients discharged from the gun type dispenser module (100) or the rotary type dispenser module (200) to be placed in the container. In another embodiment, the automatic cooking system (10) may be a system for cooking pizza. In this case, the gun-type dispenser module (100) may discharge liquid ingredients such as tomato sauce, and the rotary-type dispenser module (200) may discharge solid ingredients such as cheese and toppings. Briefly describing the operating mechanism of such a pizza cooking system, first, the user selects the type of pizza or toppings, and the control unit may determine the movement path of the container transfer module (300) and the operation sequence of the gun-type dispenser module (100) and the rotary-type dispenser module (200) based on the received data. Next, the container containing the pizza dough is moved to the gun-type dispenser module (100) via the container transfer module (300) to apply the sauce to the pizza dough, and then moved to the rotary-type dispenser module (200) to collect the cheese and toppings discharged at a preset weight, and then delivered to the user or moved to an oven capable of cooking the pizza. At this time, the control unit measures the weight of the ingredients placed in the container through an external scale and can control the gun-type dispenser module (100) or the rotary-type dispenser module (200) by taking into account the time it takes for the ingredients discharged from the gun-type dispenser module (100) or the rotary-type dispenser module (200) to be placed in the container. Hereinafter, a gun-type dispenser module (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. The gun-type dispenser module (100) may include a guide section (110), a sauce holder (120), a pressure sensor (130), a gun-type drive section (140), a gun-type control section (not shown), and a gun-type communication module (not shown). For example, the gun-type dispenser module (100) may have a sauce bottle (150) mounted on the front bottom, and liquid food ingredients filled in the sauce bottle (150) may be discharged through the bottom. The guide portion (110) can serve to guide the sauce bottle (150) so that it does not detach after being mounted. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the guide portion (110) may have a 'C' shape with one side open, and the sauce bottle (150) can be inserted and fixed through the open portion. The sauce holder (120) is located at the bottom of the sauce bottle (150) and can support the sauce bottle (150). As shown in FIG. 4, the sauce holder (120) is formed in a circular shape and may include a bottle groove (121) formed on the upper surface to allow a portion of the lower part of the sauce bottle (150) to be inserted, and a bottle hole (122) perforated so that a discharge port through which liquid ingredients filled in the sauce bottle (150) are discharged can be exposed to the outside. Additionally, the sauce holder (120) may be formed to be replaceable and may be formed of a material that ensures food safety. The pressure sensor (130) can measure the pressure applied to the sauce bottle (150). For example, the pressure sensor (130) may be mounted on the sauce holder (120) as shown in FIG. 4, but is not limited thereto. A gun-type drive unit (140) is positioned above the sauce bottle (150) and can cause liquid food ingredients to be discharged from the sauce bottle (150). Additionally, referring to FIG. 5, the gun-type drive unit (140) may include an actuator (141), a piston (142) with one end connected to the actuator (141) and moving in an up-and-down direction, a cylinder (143) located at the other end of the piston (142) and pressurizing the sauce bottle (150), and an encoder (not shown) for measuring the distance traveled by the piston (142). For example, the sauce bottle (150) is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a sauce outlet for discharging liquid ingredients is located at the bottom, and a plunger (151) is located at the top, so that the sauce can be discharged through the sauce outlet as the plunger (151) is pressurized through the piston (142). In other words, the actuator (141) moves the piston (142) downward, the encoder measures the distance the piston (142) moves, and the gun-type control unit can adjust the amount of liquid food ingredients discharged from the sauce bottle (150) by adjusting the distance the piston (142) moves. In detail, the gun-type control unit receives weight information of the liquid food ingredient located inside the sauce bottle (150) through the pressure sensor (130), calculates the volume of the liquid food ingredient based on the position information of the piston (142) received through the encoder, and calculates the density by dividing this by the weight. At this time, the gun-type control unit can accurately calculate the amount of liquid food ingredient discharged according to the movement amount of the piston (142) based on the density information of the liquid food ingredient. The gun-type communication module can be connected to the control unit wirelessly or via a wired connection to transmit and receive data. In other words, the gun-type communication module can receive weight information of liquid food ingredients dispensed from the gun-type dispenser module (100) from an external scale through the control unit, and transmit the received weight information of the liquid food ingredients to the gun-type control unit. At this time, the control unit can control the gun-type drive unit (140) based on the weight information of the received liquid food ingredients to control the amount of liquid food ingredients discharged from the gun-type dispenser module (100). The gun-type dispenser module (100) may further include an upper limit sensor that detects whether the piston (142) has moved to the top and a lower limit sensor that detects whether the piston (142) has moved to the bottom. When the sauce bottle (150) is installed or replaced, the piston (142) moves upward, and at this time, the upper limit sensor can detect whether the piston (142) has moved to the top, and the lower limit sensor detects that the piston (142) is located at the bottom, and when a signal is received from the lower limit sensor, it can be determined that the material inside the sauce bottle (150) has been depleted. The gun-type dispenser module (100) may further include a bottle detection sensor that detects whether a sauce bottle (150) is mounted. For example, the bottle detection sensor may be mounted at a location adjacent to the sauce bottle (150). The operating mechanism of the gun-type dispenser module (100) is explained. First, when the power is turned on, the actuator (141) is operated to move the piston (142) to the top until a signal is received from the upper limit sensor. Next, the sauce holder (120) and the sauce bottle (150) are installed in sequence, and after receiving confirmation that the sauce bottle (150) is installed via the bottle detection sensor, the piston (142) can be moved downward. At this time, the weight of the liquid food ingredient located inside the sauce bottle (150) can be measured via the pressure sensor (130). Next, when the piston (142) comes down and touches the plunger (151) of the sauce bottle (150), a signal is sent to the pressure sensor (130), and the piston (142) stops according to this signal. At this time, the volume of the liquid food ingredient can be calculated through the position of the piston (142), and the density can be calculated by dividing this by the weight. At this time, the gun-type control unit can accurately calculate the amount of liquid food ingredient discharged according to the movement amount of the piston (142) based on the density information of the liquid food ingredient. In automatic mode, the piston (142) goes down and pushes the plunger (151) of the sauce bottle (150) to discharge the liquid food ingredient inside the sauce bottle (150) downward. However, it is not limited to this, and the user may also operate in manual mode by discharging the ingredient using a button located on the front of the module as needed. A specific volume can be targeted and discharged using an actuator (141) and an encoder. In addition, the weight of the liquid ingredients being discharged can be specified and discharged using an external scale. At this time, there is a time difference between the liquid ingredients leaving the sauce bottle (150) and reaching the external scale, so the function of quantitative discharge can be improved through predicted discharge using the density of the liquid ingredients and the amount of movement of the piston (142) measured by the encoder. Additionally, when discharging liquid ingredients, the pressure inside the sauce bottle (150) can be measured through the pressure sensor (130), and the speed and acceleration of the actuator (141) can be controlled so that the pressure does not become too high. When liquid ingredients are discharged, if a signal is received from the lower limit sensor of the cylinder (143), it means that the piston (142) is at the lowest position. Therefore, it is determined that all the liquid ingredients inside the sauce bottle (150) have been consumed, and the piston (142) is automatically moved to the top position, and then a signal to replace the sauce bottle (150) can be transmitted to the user. Hereinafter, a rotary type dispenser module (200) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 11. The rotary type dispenser module (200) includes a container part (210), a rotary blade (220), a blade shaft (230), a container mounting part (240), a driving part, a load cell (260), a rotary type control part (not shown), and a rotary type communication module (not shown). Referring to FIG. 8, the container part (210) is composed of a discharge part (211), a canopy part (212), an extension part (213), and a lid part (214), and can be assembled and used in the order of the discharge part (211), canopy part (212), extension part (213), and lid part (214), and inside solid Food ingredients can be stored. For example, the container part (210) is made entirely of food-safe PC material and can be made of a transparent material so that the interior is fully visible. Referring to FIG. 9(a), the discharge section (211) has a rotary blade (220) located therein, and a hole (211a) into which a blade shaft (230) is inserted is located inside the front and rear sections, and a discharge port may be formed at the bottom. Additionally, two bearings made of Teflon material, each having a hexagonal hole (211a), are located in the hole (211a), and a blade shaft (230) may be inserted into the bearing. The discharge section (211) has a structure with an open top and bottom, the top having the same size and shape as the canopy section (212), and the discharge port located at the bottom may vary in size and shape. For example, the discharge section (211) may be formed with a cross-section in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, with the cross-section becoming smaller towards the bottom, but is not limited thereto. Referring to FIG. 9(b), the canopy portion (212) can be manufactured such that the cross-sectional area in the center is small and increases towards the top or bottom. In other words, referring to FIG. 8, when food ingredients introduced from the top are fed into the ends of the rotary blade (220), the moving food ingredients and the ingredients pushed in by gravity are compressed against each other, thereby inducing the ingredients to be fed only into the central part rather than into the ends, thus minimizing damage to the ingredients. However, this is not limited to this; if the food ingredients are used with a constant cross-sectional area and are not pushed in by gravity, the canopy portion (212) having a small cross-sectional area in the center may actually hinder discharge performance, so it is preferable to manufacture it so that it can be attached or detached depending on the ingredients. Referring to Fig. 9 (c), the expansion section (213) is a space for storing food ingredients, and multiple expansion section (213) containers can be assembled and used according to the required capacity. Additionally, the expansion section (213) has a hook (215) that can be placed on the stand (242) of the container mounting section (240), and the container section (210) is secured by hooking the latch (243) of the container mounting section (240). Referring to FIG. 9 (d), the lid portion (214) is attached to the upper part of the expansion portion (213) container and is equipped with a silicone rubber packing so that it is sealed upon assembly, allowing the container portion (210) to be used as a sealed container. When not in use, the container composed of multiple expansion portions (213) and two lid portions (214) can be used to store food ingredients. When it is to be mounted on the rotary type dispenser module (200), the lower lid portion (214) is disassembled, and then the discharge portion (211), canopy portion (212), rotary blade (220), and blade shaft (230) are additionally assembled and mounted on the module to be used. Referring to FIG. 10, the container mounting portion (240) is located at the rear of the container portion (210).

[0054] It includes a plurality of mounting brackets (242) on which the mounting frame (241) and the container part (210) are mounted. The mounting bracket (242) is located on the front of the mounting frame (241) and can be positioned at a predetermined distance apart in the left and right directions. Additionally, the mounting bracket (242) may include a latch (243) for securing the container portion (210). The latch (243) attached to the mounting bracket (242) can secure the container by hooking it onto the ring (215) of the container. Additionally, the latch (243) can be secured by a rivet, and rivets are positioned at the front and rear of the rivet of the secured portion, respectively, so that the radius of rotation of the rivet can be adjusted to easily secure it to the ring (215) of the container. Referring to FIG. 7, the load cell (260) is connected to the mounting frame (241) to measure the weight of the container mounting part (240), the rotary type drive part (250), and the container part (210) in real time, and can track the weight of solid food ingredients discharged outside the container part (210) based on the measured value. In detail, the rotary type dispenser module (200) mounts the container section (210) on the container mounting section (240), and when the weight is recognized by the load cell (260), it switches to a usable state. After mounting the container section (210), the weight of the container section (210) is continuously tracked using the load cell (260), and at this time, the rotary type control section can calculate the amount of solid food ingredients discharged from the container section (210) based on the measured weight information of the container section (210). In other words, the amount of solid food ingredients discharged into the container is measured using an external scale, and compared with the reduced weight of the container section (210) measured through the load cell (260), a fixed amount equal to the target weight can be discharged. However, it is not limited to this, and the amount of material reduced by the internal load cell (260) can be considered as the discharge amount and discharged in a fixed amount. The rotary type control unit controls the rotary type drive unit (250) to control the number of rotations or angles of the rotary blade (220), thereby controlling the amount of solid food material discharged. At this time, the rotary type control unit can control the rotation of the rotary blade (220) based on a preset value according to the type of solid food material in the container unit (210). The rotary type communication module can be connected to the control unit wirelessly or via a wired connection to transmit and receive data. In other words, the rotary type communication module can receive weight information of solid food ingredients discharged from the rotary type dispenser module (200) from an external scale through the control unit and transmit the received weight information of solid food ingredients to the rotary type control unit. At this time, the control unit can control the rotary type drive unit (250) based on the received weight information of solid food ingredients to control the amount of solid food ingredients discharged from the rotary type dispenser module (200). Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, the rotary blade (220) is composed of a body (221) and a silicone cover (222). The body (221) is coupled with the blade shaft (230) and receives power from the rotary type drive unit (250) entering through the blade shaft (230) to stably rotate the rotary blade (220). Additionally, the body (221) has circular protrusions (224) formed on each side, so that when the body (221) comes into contact with the inner surface of the container unit (210), the contact surface is minimized to prevent friction from being maximized. The silicone cover (222) is the part that actually comes into contact with the solid food material during operation, and is manufactured with a hardness that allows the food material to be moved while minimizing deformation. It can be made of silicone material that has been recognized for food safety. The silicone cover (222) includes a plurality of wings (223), and is a component that rotates the material between the wings (223) to discharge a portion of the solid food material above downwards. Therefore, the size and number of wings (223) can be varied depending on the type of solid food material. In the case of materials that are difficult to fit well between the wings (223), such as leaves or shredded carrots, the wings (223) may scrape down, and in this case, it can rotate through multiple wings (223) at once. The silicone cover (222) can be configured to have a phase difference wing (223) that is separated into upper and lower sections in the axial direction, as shown in FIG. 12, so that a relatively large particle size material can be quantitatively discharged. In the case of the blade of the silicone cover (222) with a phase difference, the space between the wing (223) and the wing (223) can be considered as a phase difference. In addition, since solid food materials accumulate on one side when the rotary blade (220) rotates in only one direction, it is desirable to change direction and discharge at appropriate rotational intervals. Referring to FIG. 13, one side of the blade shaft (230) is connected to a rotary type drive unit (250).

[0066] It includes a connected drive shaft (231) and a knob (232) coupled to the other side of the drive shaft (231). The drive shaft (231) is manufactured in the shape of a hexagonal column, but may include a cylindrical part at one end that can add fixing force when mounted in the hexagonal socket of the drive unit. The knob (232) allows the user to easily adjust the phase and mount the blade shaft (230) when the phases of the hexagonal socket of the drive unit and the blade shaft (230) do not match and mounting is not done properly. The operating mechanism of the rotary type dispenser module is as follows. First, turn on the power to the rotary type dispenser module (200), place the container part (210) containing food ingredients on the stand (242), check the connection between the blade shaft (230) and the drive unit, and then secure the container part (210) by hooking the latch (243). Next, the container section (210) is mounted, and the weight is recognized by the load cell (260), allowing the weight of the container section (210) and solid food ingredients to be continuously measured. In automatic mode, the rotary blade (220) is rotated to discharge the ingredients downward upon receiving a command from the server, and in manual mode, the ingredients can be discharged by pressing a button located at the front of the rotary type dispenser module (200). At this time, a target weight can be discharged using an external scale. However, this is not limited to this, and the amount of the reduced quantity of ingredients measured by the load cell (260) can be considered as the discharge amount to be discharged. Generally, when discharging, the material is discharged by rotating between the wings (223) of the silicone cover (222) in one go, and the discharge speed of the material can be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed and the delay between rotations. The discharge speed of the material is a factor that affects the quantity, and PD (Proportional and Derivative) control based on the discharge weight can be performed. FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective view of a dispenser module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 14, a dispenser (30) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an outer container (31), an inner container (32), and a blade module (33). The dispenser (30) can discharge solid food ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, and meat. The outer container (31) includes a first extension part (311) and a first discharge part (312) coupled to one side of the first extension part (311). The first extension part (311) and the first discharge part (312) may each have a structure in which both the top and bottom are open. A first discharge port (313) is formed in the first discharge part (312) for discharging food ingredients to the outside. The cross-section of the first discharge part (312) may be formed such that the cross-section becomes smaller as it goes toward the bottom where the first discharge port (313) is located, but is not limited thereto. A cover (not shown) may be positioned on the top of the first extension part (311). Although the above description describes an embodiment in which the external container (31) includes a first extension part (311) and a first discharge part (312) that are provided separately, the external container (31) may also be provided such that the first extension part (311) and the first discharge part (312) are formed integrally. The inner container (32) is provided to correspond to the shape of the inner side of the outer container (31). The inner container (32) includes a second extension part (321) and a second discharge part (322). The second extension part (321) and the second discharge part (322) each have a structure with the upper and lower ends open. A second discharge port (323) with the lower end open may be formed at the end of the second discharge part (322). For example, if the second discharge part (322) is provided in a roughly cuboid shape, the second discharge port (323) may be installed so that a portion of both sides facing the lower end is integrally opened. A mounting hole (324) for mounting a blade module (33) may be formed on the other side of the second discharge part (322). Although the above description describes an embodiment in which the inner container (32) includes a second extension part (321) and a second discharge part (322) that are provided separately, the inner container (32) may also be provided such that the second extension part (321) and the second discharge part (322) are formed integrally. The blade module (33) is mounted inside the inner container (32) and rotates to discharge food stored in the inner container (32) to the outside. The specific configuration of the blade module (33) will be described below. FIG. 15 is a perspective view of a blade module mounted on a dispenser module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 15, a blade module (33) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a blade (331) and covers (332, 333). The covers (332, 333) include a first cover (332) mounted on the blade (331) and a second cover (333) located in front of the first cover (332). The blade (331) is located inside the inner container (32), and the first cover (332) and the second cover (333) are located outside the inner container (32). The blade (331) and the first and second covers (332, 333) can be joined through a mounting hole (324) formed in the inner container (32). The blade (331) may be provided in a roughly diamond shape. A cylindrical connecting groove (3310) is provided in the body of the blade (331), and an axle insertion groove (3312) into which a rotational shaft is inserted is additionally provided within the connecting groove (3310). Wings (3311) are provided on both the left and right sides centered on the connecting groove (3310). Both wings (3311) are provided to surround at least a portion of the connecting groove (3310). The wings (3311) may be formed so that the side facing the connecting groove (3310) is thick to surround the connecting groove (3310) and becomes thinner toward the ends. The wings (3311) may be provided with a soft material such as rubber or silicone. Although the shaft insertion groove (3312) was described above using the concept of a groove, it can be provided as a groove or a hole configuration without being restricted to the form of a groove or a hole as long as it is a structure into which a rotating shaft can be inserted. That is, the shaft insertion groove (3312) may be provided in the form of a shaft insertion hole. The blade module (33) is connected by a cam structure. The shaft insertion groove (3312) provided in the blade (331) is positioned eccentrically from the center of the connection groove (3310). The blade module (33) rotates around the connection groove (3310), but since the rotation shaft receiving the driving force is eccentric, when the rotation shaft rotates, the inner container (32) equipped with the blade module (33) moves up and down in a reciprocating motion. In this way, the cam structure having an eccentric rotation shaft can be referred to as the motion transmission part as a structure that causes the inner container (32) to move up and down in a reciprocating motion. Meanwhile, the rotation shaft insertion hole (3322) formed in the first cover (332) can be located at the center of the first cover (332). The rotation shaft may be provided with a hexagonal cross-section. The shaft insertion groove (3312) and the rotation shaft insertion hole (3322) may be provided with a hexagonal cross-section corresponding to the shape of the rotation shaft. The cross-sections of the rotation shaft, the rotation shaft insertion hole (3322), and the shaft insertion groove (3312) are not limited to a hexagonal shape but may be provided in various polygonal shapes. The rotation shaft passes through the outer container (31), the second cover (332), the first cover (331), and the inner container (32) in sequence, and its end is inserted into the shaft insertion groove (3312) formed in the blade (331). The first cover (332) includes a first plate (3320) covering the front of the blade (331), an axle connection part (3321) provided on one side of the first plate (3320), and a rotation axis insertion hole (3322). The rotation axis insertion hole (3322) may be formed in the center of the first plate (3320) to correspond to the shape of the cross-section of the rotation axis so that the rotation axis can pass through. The second cover (333) is located in front of the first cover (332) and can be mounted to the first cover (332) by means of a combined structure of a groove and a protrusion. A cutout (3331) may be formed in the second cover (333) so that a knob (not shown) operable by a user can be connected to the rotation axis. For example, the user may manually rotate the blade module (33) by operating the knob (not shown). FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating the operation of a dispenser module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 16, when the dispenser (30) according to one embodiment of the present invention is in a stopped state (Fig. 5(a)), the wings (3311) of the blade (331) are arranged to extend in the left and right directions to block the second discharge port (323) so that the food ingredients stored in the inner container (32) are not discharged. When the blade (331) receives external driving force and rotates and the wings (311) extend in the up and down directions, the food ingredients inside the inner container (32) are discharged through the discharge ports (313, 323) (Fig. 5(b)). When the blade (331) rotates further, the wings (3311) extend in the left and right directions to block the second discharge port (323) so that the food ingredients do not escape (Fig. 5(c)). At this time, the inner container (32) slides upward within the outer container (31) by means of an eccentric rotation axis. When the rotation axis rotates further, the wing (3311) extends again in the up-and-down direction so that food ingredients can be discharged through the second discharge port (323) (Fig. 5(d)), and when it rotates further, the wing (3311) extends in the left-and-right direction to block the second discharge port (323) (Fig. 5(e)). At this time, the inner container (32) slides downward inside the outer container (31). As the rotation axis continues to rotate, the inner container (32) repeatedly moves up and down, discharging the food ingredients inside. In this way, by the inner container (32) moving back and forth in the up and down direction, the arch structure formed by the food ingredients inside the inner container (32) can be effectively resolved, and the food ingredients can be discharged smoothly. In addition, the inner part of the wing (3311) on the side of the connecting groove (3310) is formed to be thick and becomes thinner toward the end, thereby stably supporting the weight of the food material located on the upper part of the blade (331). FIG. 17 is a drawing illustrating an automatic cooking system according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 17, the automatic cooking system (4) is equipped with a dispenser (40) according to another embodiment of the present invention. The automatic cooking system (4) includes a dispenser (40), a mounting frame (41) on which the dispenser (40) is mounted, and a container transport module (43) that transports a container (44) in which food ingredients discharged from the dispenser (40) are received. The container (44) is placed on a conveyor belt provided in the container transport module (43) and moved, and the food ingredients received in a plurality of dispensers (40) can be controlled to be discharged into the container (44) in sequence. The dispenser (40) can be mounted on a bracket (42) mounted on a mounting frame (41). The bracket (42) can be provided in a shape that wraps around both the left and right sides of the container (400) and the back surface where the mounting frame (41) is located. Inside the dispenser (40), a blade module having a cam structure can be installed, similar to the dispenser (30) in FIG. 14. The rotation axis passes through the mounting frame (41), the bracket (42), and the container (400) in sequence, and its end is inserted into a blade module having an eccentric shaft insertion part. When the rotation axis rotates, the container (400) reciprocates in the up and down direction due to the eccentric structure. The dispenser (40) and the container (600) are configured as a single unit, unlike the dispenser (30) disclosed in FIG. 14. That is, the container (400) in which food is contained is not composed of two layers, such as an inner container contained in an outer container, but is composed of a single layer. The upper part of the container (400) has an opening (402) formed therein to allow food ingredients to be inserted, and an extension part (401) can be inserted into the opening (402). More food ingredients can be accommodated in the dispenser (40) by means of the extension part (401). Depending on the needs, the user may accommodate food ingredients using only the container (400), or may accommodate more food ingredients by inserting the extension part (401) into the upper part of the container (400) to expand the storage space. The container (400) is provided with a structure such as the blade module shown in FIG. 15. The blade module is provided with a cam structure, and a rotating shaft mounted on the blade module and a driving motor that rotates the rotating shaft can be installed on the side of the mounting frame (41). When the rotating shaft rotates, the container (400) reciprocates in the up and down direction relative to the mounting frame (41) by means of a blade having a cam structure, thereby preventing the food ingredients inside the container (400) from forming an arch structure and allowing the food ingredients to be discharged smoothly. The dispenser (40) is different from the dispenser (30) shown in FIG. 14 in that the container (400) is provided as a single unit and installed on the mounting frame (41), in that the inner container and the outer container are configured differently, but as described in FIG. 16, the container (400) reciprocates in the up and down direction by means of a cam structure blade module, thereby preventing the formation of an arch structure of the food ingredients inside the dispenser (40) and facilitating discharge, so that the configuration and effect can be applied similarly. FIG. 18 is a drawing illustrating the internal structure of a dispenser module according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 19 is a perspective view of a blade module mounted on a dispenser module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 18 and 19, a dispenser (5) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an outer container (50), an inner container (51), and a blade module (52). An outlet (500) for discharging food ingredients is formed at the bottom of the outer container (50). The outer container (50) may be formed such that its cross-section becomes smaller towards the bottom, but is not limited thereto. A cover may be positioned at the top of the outer container (50) to prevent the entry of foreign substances from the outside. The inner container (51) is located within the outer container (50), and food ingredients are contained in the storage space inside. The inner container (51) is provided with a storage space (510) for storing food ingredients, and a tapered discharge guide (511) is provided at the bottom of the storage space (510) to guide the food ingredients downward so that they can be discharged one by one. An outlet (513) is formed at the bottom of the discharge guide (511) to discharge the food ingredients. For example, the outlet (513) may be provided with a cross-section that is circular with an appropriate diameter so that spherical food ingredients can be discharged one by one. The storage space (510) is located at the top of the inner container (51) and is composed of a cuboid-shaped space capable of accommodating a large quantity of food ingredients in the form of kernels, such as cherry tomatoes and quail eggs. The storage space (510) is designed to store a large quantity of food ingredients and to allow the ingredients to move downwards by gravity. The discharge guide (511) is connected to the lower part of the storage space (510) and serves to guide food ingredients coming down from the upper wide storage space (510) to the lower discharge port (513). The discharge guide (511) has a tapered shape that narrows as it goes down, and is designed so that the food ingredients are aligned and moved in one direction. Through this structure, problems such as overlapping or blockage of food ingredients can be prevented, and food ingredients in the form of pellets can be accurately discharged one by one. The inner container (51) further includes a support member (512) supported by a blade module (52). The support member (512) is provided extending from the bottom surface of the inner container (51) forming the storage space (510) and the bottom surface on the side of the discharge guide member (511). The support member (512) may be formed integrally with the inner container (51). The support member (512) supports the entire inner container (51), including the storage space (510) and the discharge guide member (511). Additionally, the support member (512) is supported by the blade module (52). A tent-shaped cover (21) may be provided on the upper part of the storage space (510). The cover (21) is provided in a tent shape with a central part that is convex toward the top. The cover (53) can help to distribute food ingredients evenly in the storage space (510). In particular, when the inner container (51) vibrates or moves, it can prevent food ingredients from shifting or overlapping and guide them to naturally move downward. Additionally, when the inner container (51) moves up and down, it can assist food ingredients to move to the discharge guide (511) without stagnating, and it can also perform the role of protecting food ingredients from external shocks, pressure, and contamination. The blade module (52) includes a wave disk (521) and a groove cylinder (522). The wave disk (521) is a member located at both ends of the blade module (52), and has a wave-shaped projection (5210) formed on its outer surface. When the blade module (52) rotates around the rotation axis (520), the projection (5210) contacts the support portion (512) of the inner container (51) and performs the function of causing the inner container (51) to move up and down in a reciprocating motion. In this way, the structure of the wave disk (521) with a plurality of projections (5210) formed thereon and the support portion (512) of the inner container (51), which causes the inner container (51) to move up and down in a reciprocating motion, can be referred to as the motion transmission portion. Meanwhile, the wave disk (521) and the groove cylinder (522) rotate as a single unit around the rotation axis (520). The groove cylinder (522) is a cylindrical member located in the center of the blade module (52). One or more hemispherical grooves (5220) are formed on the outer surface. Food ingredients discharged from the inner container (51) are received in the hemispherical grooves (5220), and as the blade module (52) rotates, the food ingredients received in the grooves (5220) are discharged to the outside through the discharge port (500) formed in the outer container (50). The size and shape of the hemispherical grooves (5220) can be adjusted so that the food ingredients can be accurately discharged individually without damage. FIG. 20 is a drawing illustrating the operation of a dispenser module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 20, in a dispenser (5) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner container (51) moves up and down in a reciprocating motion as the blade module (52) rotates. The wave disk (521) of the blade module (52) has wave-shaped protrusions formed on its outer surface, so that when the blade module (52) rotates, the protrusions of the wave disk (521) come into contact with the support member (512) and cause the inner container (51) to move up and down in a reciprocating motion. Through this up-and-down reciprocating motion of the inner container (51), food ingredients within the storage space (510) can move smoothly to the discharge guide member (511). The food ingredients discharged through the discharge port (513) are inserted into a semi-spherical groove (5220) formed in the groove cylinder (522), and when the blade module (52) rotates further, the food ingredients are finally discharged one by one through the discharge port (500). In this process, the tent-shaped cover (53) located on the upper part of the inner container (51) prevents food from scattering, protects food from external impacts, and minimizes damage to food caused by vibration or up-and-down movement of the inner dispenser (51). The foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will understand that other specific forms can be easily modified without altering the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single unit may be implemented in a distributed manner, and components described as distributed may likewise be implemented in a combined form. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims set forth below rather than by the detailed description above, and all modifications or variations derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and equivalent concepts thereof should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the present invention.
