[0002] At present, the technology of automatic decoction of traditional Chinese medicine has gradually emerged, which can improve the efficiency of decoction, which is very important for many patients. Since traditional Chinese medicine needs to be proportioned (the weight of the ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and water), and needs to be poured into the decoction for heating and other processes, it is necessary to transfer and dump the medicine barrel containing traditional Chinese medicine and water. At present, the existing technology can only complete the transportation and clamping of the medicine barrel. The applicant has previously applied for a medicine delivery device and a medicine delivery method for an automatic decoction room, with the application number 202211686372.5. The action flow of the automatic decoction room is to first put the medicine bag and water into the medicine barrel, and then transfer the medicine barrel to the top of the decoction machine, and then pour the water and medicine bag in the medicine barrel into the decoction machine. After the decoction is completed, the decoction is directly sent to the decoction automatic packaging machine through the medicine outlet pipe to be packaged into small packages. The traditional Chinese medicine in the decoction machine is manually taken out of the medicine bag, and then the medicine barrel is returned to the conveying roller by the clamp, and then the medicine barrel is manually cleaned.
[0003] However, the above-mentioned steps are not reasonable, and have at least the following defects: 1. The medicine bag needs to be taken out manually, and the temperature of the medicine bag is high after decocting the medicine, which is easy to cause burns; 2. When the Chinese medicine bag needs to be replaced, the inner cavity of the decoction machine needs to be cleaned, the cleaning action is long and the decoction action cannot be performed, so the efficiency of decoction is relatively low; 3. The used medicine barrels also need to be cleaned, and the cleaned medicine barrels need to be manually sent one by one to the upstream of the conveyor roller line, so the operator needs to carry the medicine barrels, which is labor-intensive and heavy; 4. The medicine barrels need to be dumped, which easily causes water splashing. Summary of the invention
