[0002] Drugs that are collected, processed, and prepared under the guidance of traditional Chinese medical theory, whose mechanisms of action are explained and whose clinical applications are guided are collectively referred to as Chinese medicine. In short, Chinese medicine refers to substances that are used to prevent, treat, diagnose diseases and have rehabilitation and health-care effects under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. Chinese medicine mainly comes from natural medicines and their processed products, including herbal medicines, animal medicines, mineral medicines, and some chemical and biological drugs. Since most Chinese medicines are herbal medicines, there is a saying that "all medicines are based on herbs". Chinese medicine preparations often require mixing and stirring different agents.
[0003] Common mixing and dispensing devices for traditional Chinese medicine preparations only include a mixing function and can mix traditional Chinese medicine preparations, but lack the functions of automatic quantitative proportioning and temperature control. They cannot ensure the appropriate proportioning and temperature control of various traditional Chinese medicine preparations. It is easy for the dosage of various traditional Chinese medicine preparations to be inconsistent during mixing, and the temperature cannot be controlled during mixing, resulting in the traditional Chinese medicine preparations losing their efficacy due to temperature, affecting the quality of the finished product.
[0004] Therefore, the problem that the mixing and preparing device for the above-mentioned Chinese medicine preparations lacks the functions of automatic quantitative proportioning and temperature control and cannot ensure the appropriate proportioning and temperature control of various Chinese medicine preparations needs to be solved urgently to improve the use scenarios of the mixing and preparing device for Chinese medicine preparations.
