[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine refers to natural medicines and their processed substitutes that are guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory, have a unique theoretical system and application form, are used for preventing and treating diseases, and have the functions of rehabilitation and health care. It mainly includes plant medicines, animal medicines, and mineral medicines. Currently, after a doctor finishes dispensing medicine for a patient, the traditional Chinese medicine is decocted and packaged. The decocted traditional Chinese medicine is put into independent packages for the convenience of the patient to take. If some patients are inconvenient to walk or go out, the doctor needs to deliver the traditional Chinese medicine.
[0003] However, there are some problems in the use of existing traditional Chinese medicine distribution devices. The existing traditional Chinese medicine distribution devices are all relatively bulky and not easy to move. Different patients need different traditional Chinese medicines, and it is not easy to distinguish the medicines for different patients in the existing devices, which is likely to cause difficulties in packaging and distribution. The existing devices usually only have the effect of storing traditional Chinese medicine. If an emergency occurs and it is necessary to decoct and package traditional Chinese medicine outside, the doctor does not have the required equipment and will not be able to perform the operation of decocting and packaging traditional Chinese medicine outside, thus reducing the scope of application of the device.

[0032] By sleeving adjacent limiting rings 15 on the surfaces of the first hook 10 and the second hook 11 respectively, the movable frame 5 can be limited and connected. Push the device to move. The device moves through the universal wheels 13. When it is necessary to steam and pack Chinese medicine, the operator can sit on the L-shaped plate 4 to perform the operation.
[0033] Example Two:
[0034] The collection mechanism includes two cross plates 7, which are arranged front and back. The cross plates 7 are respectively located between two adjacent L-shaped rods 19. The left and right sides of the cross plates 7 are fixedly connected to one end of the adjacent L-shaped rods 19. A number of fixed columns 29 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cross plates 7. The bottom ends of a number of fixed columns 29 on the same side are jointly fixedly connected to a movable frame 5. The two movable frames 5 are arranged in a mutually fitting manner. U-shaped grooves are opened on the corresponding sides of the two movable frames 5. The two U-shaped grooves are arranged in a mutually penetrating manner. Slots are opened at the bottom of the inner cavities of the movable frames 5. The slots are arranged in a mutually penetrating manner with the adjacent U-shaped grooves. Step-shaped fixing plates 26 are fixedly connected to the inner cavities of the movable frames 5. A number of partition plates 27 are fixedly connected to the outer edges of the step-shaped fixing plates 26. T-shaped grooves are opened on the tops of the cross plates 7. T-shaped blocks 23 are movably connected in the T-shaped grooves. Mechanical arms 8 are fixedly connected to the tops of the T-shaped blocks 23. Control panels 6 are fixedly connected to the sides of the movable frames 5 away from the step-shaped fixing plates 26;
[0035] A U-shaped support plate 17 is jointly arranged in the two U-shaped grooves. A number of air holes are opened at the bottom of the U-shaped support plate 17. Horizontal grooves are opened at the positions near the tops of the left and right sides of the movable frames 5. The horizontal grooves are arranged in a mutually penetrating manner with the adjacent U-shaped grooves. Connecting rods 25 are fixedly connected to the positions near the tops of the left and right sides of the U-shaped support plate 17. The ends of the connecting rods 25 away from the U-shaped support plate 17 penetrate through the adjacent horizontal grooves and are fixedly connected to fixed disks 24. L-shaped limit plates 20 are fixedly connected to the positions near the left sides of the sides of the cross plates 7 away from the step-shaped fixing plates 26. Electric telescopic rods 21 are fixedly connected to the L-shaped limit plates 20. Connecting fixing plates 22 are fixedly connected to the right ends of the electric telescopic rods 21. The tops of the connecting fixing plates 22 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the adjacent mechanical arms 8. Triangular grooves are opened at the positions near the bottoms of the left and right sides of the U-shaped support plate 17. A number of preparators 18 are arranged on the U-shaped support plate 17;
[0036] The Chinese medicines that have been steamed, cooked and packed are respectively placed on the step-shaped fixing plates 26 in different compartments. The control panel 6 operates the electric telescopic rod 21 to drive the mechanical arm 8 to move left and right. Instructions are input on the control panel 6 to control the mechanical arm 8 to pick up the Chinese medicines for the patients. Different patients' Chinese medicines are placed in different compartments, and the required amounts of Chinese medicines for different patients are different. The Chinese medicines are respectively placed in the corresponding digital areas on the step-shaped fixing plates 26, which can better control the mechanical arm 8 to pick up the Chinese medicines. When the Chinese medicines need to be decocted and packed, the movable frame 5 is moved left and right, and the U-shaped support plate 17 is exposed, and the operator can then carry out the decocting and packing treatment on the Chinese medicines;
[0037] The control panel 6, the mechanical arm 8 and the electric telescopic rod 21 are all prior arts, and their working principles are well-known and known to those skilled in the art.
[0038] Working principle: When the device starts to work, the operator takes out the vertical rod 12. The vertical rod 12 drives the adjacent limit ring 15 to move, adjusts the upper swing rod 16. The upper limit ring 15 is sleeved on the surface of the second hook 11, adjusts the lower swing rod 16, and sleeves the lower limit ring 15 on the surface of the first hook 10, so as to limit and connect the two movable frames 5, facilitating the movement of the movable frame 5. The operator pushes the device to move, and the device moves through the universal wheels 13. After moving to the patient, the operator inputs an instruction on the control panel 6, such as the first grid in the first vertical row. Then the electric telescopic rod 21 starts to work. The electric telescopic rod 21 drives the robotic arm 8 and the T-shaped block 23 to move to the left through the connecting fixed plate 22. When the robotic arm 8 moves to the first vertical row, the electric telescopic rod 21 stops working, and the robotic arm 8 starts to work. The robotic arm 8 picks up the traditional Chinese medicine in the first grid of the first vertical row and delivers the traditional Chinese medicine to the patient. If there is still other traditional Chinese medicine in the corresponding vertical row of the patient, the operator can input "the first grid, the second grid, the third grid, the fourth grid, and the fifth grid in the first vertical row" when picking up the traditional Chinese medicine, so as to pick up the traditional Chinese medicine in the corresponding vertical row in sequence. The partition plate 27 divides the stepped fixed plate 26 into multiple spaces, facilitating the storage of traditional Chinese medicine for different patients;
[0039] When it is necessary to urgently decoct and pack traditional Chinese medicine outdoors, the operator pulls the movable frames 5 on the front and back sides. The two movable frames 5 move away from each other, and the U-shaped support plates 17 inside the two movable frames 5 are exposed. The connecting rod 25 and the fixed disk 24 limit the U-shaped support plates 17. The operator sits on the L-shaped plate 4 and operates the preparator 18 to decoct and pack the traditional Chinese medicine. The space exposed above the device facilitates the exhaust of steam, and the holes at the bottom of the U-shaped support plate 17 can leak out the impurities generated during the decocting process, ensuring the cleanliness of the device.
