The qualified medicinal materials are transported to the inside of the loading hopper 282 through the first conveyor belt 21 for weighing, and the precision The measuring weighing device 27 weighs the medicinal materials in the loading hopper 282. When the weight of the medicinal materials in the loading hopper 282 reaches the weight that the medicinal materials need to be packaged, the precision measuring weighing device 27 sends a signal to the PLC touch control panel 4, and then the PLC touch control panel 4 closes the first conveyor belt 21 and opens the electromagnetic valve 283. At this time, the weighed medicinal materials in the loading hopper 282 fall into the multifunctional packaging machine 5 through the guide tube 6 for packaging. After the medicinal materials are packaged, they fall onto the upper surface of the second conveyor belt 8 for unloading and transportation.
