Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Chinese medicine preparation, and in particular to a Chinese medicine preparation assistant robot based on a software and hardware connection combination. Background Art

[0002] At present, my country has a long history of traditional Chinese medicine culture, and there are countless varieties of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has the advantages of being all natural, having little toxicity and side effects on the human body, and treating both the symptoms and the root causes, so it is well received by patients. The traditional Chinese medicine drug collection model is that pharmacists manually grab the drugs according to the prescription information. This method of pharmacists "hand-gripping and weighing" to mix drugs is inefficient and prone to errors.

[0003] Chinese herbal decoction is the most traditional dosage form in traditional Chinese medicine. In the practice of Chinese medicine from ancient times to the present, decoction is the most widely used and the most effective. It has the characteristics of rapid absorption and quick effect. However, with the accelerated pace of modern life, more and more people do not have time to decoct medicine. Therefore, more and more hospitals have begun to decoct Chinese medicine for patients; even some pharmacies have begun to decoct Chinese medicine for patients.

[0004] In traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies, during the preparation and review of Chinese medicine pieces, due to different prescriptions, it is impossible to plan the path at the Chinese medicine cabinet according to the drugs in the prescription. It is necessary to walk back and forth to grab the drugs, which increases the workload of the pharmacist. Manual weighing and cutting are also required, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive preparation and review of Chinese medicine pieces, and it is impossible to trace back the drug grabbing records. In view of this, we propose a Chinese medicine piece preparation assistant robot based on a combination of software and hardware connection. Summary of the invention
