[0036] The medicinal material warehouse layer 110 includes a shipping area 111 and a primary medicinal material warehouse 112. The shipping area 111 is equipped with a shipping robot (not shown) for retrieving medicines from the primary medicinal material warehouse 112 and an inter-floor elevator (not shown) for transporting the medicines. The shipping robot can, for example, be an automated guided vehicle (AGV) working in conjunction with a manipulator to retrieve the medicines. Both the shipping robot and the inter-floor elevator are conventional mechanisms, and their specific structures are not limited in this embodiment. The primary medicinal material warehouse 112 is divided into a normal temperature warehouse 1121, a cool warehouse 1122, and a low temperature warehouse 1123 based on the storage temperature of the medicines.

[0037] The medicinal material warehouse layer 110 is used to store a large number of medicinal materials. Therefore, different storage conditions need to be set according to the characteristics of the medicinal materials. For example, the temperature and humidity in the medicinal material primary warehouse 112 can be regulated by an air conditioning system, thereby forming a normal temperature warehouse 1121, a cool warehouse 1122, and a low temperature warehouse 1123. In addition, according to the demand for medicinal materials, a poisonous material warehouse (not shown) and a sample storage warehouse (not shown) can also be set up. Among them, the poisonous material warehouse is used to store special medicinal materials with certain toxicity, while the sample storage warehouse can realize the retention of samples of each medicinal material.

[0038] In this embodiment, when each medicinal material enters the primary medicinal material warehouse 112, it is necessary to enter the product name, quality, weight and other information of each medicinal material into the system, and at the same time, each medicinal material is coded for subsequent identification. At the same time, when shipping, the shipping robot can also pick up the medicine according to the corresponding code set by the system, thereby realizing the automation of medicine picking.

[0039] To avoid errors in automated drug collection, this embodiment further includes a first re-inspection area 1111, which is located in the shipping area 111 for manual re-inspection before shipment. Medicinal materials that pass manual re-inspection can be transported from the second floor to the production equipment floor 120 on the first floor via an inter-floor elevator.

[0040] The production equipment floor 120 includes a production workshop 121, a viewing corridor 122, and a control equipment room 123.

It should be understood that the production equipment floor 120 may also include a viewing hall equipped with a display screen that introduces the production equipment or process flow. Visitors can view the various functional areas within the production workshop 121 through the viewing corridor 122. The production workshop 121 and the viewing corridor 122 are separated by glass, ensuring cleanliness within the production workshop 121.

[0041] The production workshop 121 includes a secondary medicinal material warehouse 124, an automatic dispensing area 125 and an automatic decoction production area. The shipping area 111 is connected to the secondary medicinal material warehouse 124 through an inter-layer elevator. The automatic dispensing area 125 is provided with a dispensing machine (not shown) and a feeding device (not shown) for taking medicine from the secondary medicinal material warehouse 124 and replenishing the medicinal materials to the dispensing machine.

[0043] The dispensing machine in the automatic dispensing area 125 is provided with a plurality of medicine compartments for storing different medicines respectively. Each medicine compartment is provided with a weighing feeder, which is connected to the feeding device by signal to automatically adjust and replenish the medicinal materials. The weighing feeder in the medicine compartment can detect whether the medicine in the medicine compartment is sufficient. If it is insufficient or a certain medicinal material is missing, the weighing feeder transmits a signal to the feeding device. At this time, the feeding device can move to the medicinal material secondary warehouse 124 according to the information of the required medicine to take the required medicine. The feeding device can identify the content in the bar code on the container of the medicinal material secondary warehouse 124, determine what kind of medicinal material is in the container, and move it to the dispensing machine to automatically replenish the medicine. Each medicine compartment is provided with a bar code, which can facilitate the feeding device to identify the medicine compartment and realize the replenishment of the same medicinal material in the same medicine compartment.

[0044] Furthermore, the dispensing machine can utilize different dispensing mechanisms tailored to the properties of different slices, supporting the automated dispensing of slices of varying shapes. Most prescriptions do not require manual dispensing of supplementary medications, significantly improving dispensing efficiency and reducing staffing. Prescription information is input into the dispensing machine, which dispenses the medication as needed. The dispensing machine also features a dispensing container for the prepared medicinal materials, which is connected to the automatic decoction and filling area 126 via a conveyor belt.

[0045] To ensure the accuracy of drug ingredients, this embodiment also includes a third re-inspection area 1251, located before the automatic decoction and filling area 126. This area is equipped with a visual inspection system for photographing and analyzing medicinal materials, and a manual re-inspection area for manual visual verification by operators. By combining a visual inspection system with manual visual inspection, the visual inspection system automatically photographs and analyzes medicinal materials, while the manual visual inspection function provides further verification. This combination of two methods effectively prevents incorrect medicinal material varieties.

[0046] The automatic decoction production area is used to decoct the medicines input into the automatic dispensing area 125. Specifically, the automatic decoction production area includes an automatic decoction and filling area 126, a medicine residue processing area 127 and a boxing and packaging area 128. The outflow end of the automatic dispensing area 125 is connected to the inflow end of the automatic decoction and filling area 126, and the outflow end of the automatic decoction and filling area 126 is respectively connected to the inflow end of the medicine residue processing area 127 and the boxing and packaging area 128.

[0047] After the ingredients are prepared, the medicine is transported to the automatic decoction and filling area 126 for water addition, soaking, decoction, and filling. The automatic dispensing area 125 and the automatic decoction and filling area 126 are separated by a brick wall. A conveyor belt transports the prepared medicine in the decoction pot to the automatic decoction and filling area 126. The automatic decoction and filling area 126 is equipped with an automatic decoction mechanism, an automatic filling mechanism, an automatic cleaning mechanism for cleaning the decoction pot within the automatic decoction mechanism, and a conductivity meter mounted on the automatic cleaning mechanism for testing the cleaning effectiveness of the decoction pot. After decoction and filling are completed, the decoction pot is transported by a conveyor belt to the decoction pot cleaning area, where it is cleaned by the automatic cleaning mechanism. The automatic filling mechanism in the automatic decoction and filling area 126 is equipped with an online refractometer for testing the decoction liquid. The specific structures of the automatic decoction mechanism, automatic filling mechanism, and automatic cleaning mechanism are not limited. Any commercially available structure that can achieve automatic decoction, automatic filling, and automatic cleaning functions can be used as the automatic decoction mechanism, automatic filling mechanism, and automatic cleaning mechanism of this application. The conductivity meter and online refractometer are both commercially available conventional equipment, and their specific structures are not limited in this embodiment.

[0048] The medicinal residues produced during the preparation process in the automatic decoction and filling area 126 can be transported to the medicinal residue processing area 127 for processing, and the prepared medicines can be transported to the boxing and packaging area 128 for packaging.

[0049] In this embodiment, the production workshop 121 can be automated, wherein the automated operating parameters and the like can be uniformly controlled by the control system of the control equipment room 123 to facilitate operation.

[0050] In addition, in this embodiment, the automatic adjustment area 125 adopts a negative pressure design, which can effectively prevent the medicinal material dust from affecting each other, and is conducive to keeping the environment of the automatic adjustment area 125 dry and reducing bacterial growth. The automatic decoction and filling area 126 adopts a negative pressure design, which is conducive to reducing the disorderly diffusion of water vapor and odor in the automatic decoction and filling area 126. Ozone systems are installed in the automatic adjustment area 125 and the automatic decoction and filling area 126. Regular ozone sterilization is carried out to effectively prevent bacterial growth. The secondary medicinal material warehouse 124, automatic adjustment area 125, automatic decoction and filling area 126, medicinal residue processing area 127 and boxing and packaging area 128 in the production workshop 121 are all equipped with independent air-conditioning systems to ensure the temperature and humidity of each area and avoid condensation in the room, which causes pollution.

[0051] The equipment and instruments involved in the automatic dispensing area 125, the automatic decoction and filling area 126, the medicinal residue processing area 127 and the boxing and packaging area 128 are all conventional instruments available on the market. This embodiment makes a reasonable layout of these instruments to make the flow of medicinal materials in the entire production workshop 121 smoother and the logistics path better.

[0052] The decoction production system 100 operates as follows: Approved Chinese medicinal materials are stored in the primary medicinal material warehouse 112. These materials are labeled with information such as product, quality, and weight. When materials are out of stock in the secondary medicinal material warehouse 124, a delivery robot is instructed to move to the primary medicinal material warehouse 112 and retrieve the corresponding materials from the delivery area 111. After verification by an operator, the materials are transported via an inter-level elevator to the secondary medicinal material warehouse 124. The operator in the secondary medicinal material warehouse 124 then manually rechecks the materials to ensure their accuracy before placing them in their designated locations. When the dispensing machine in the automatic dispensing area 125 receives the list of required medications, it will detect whether the medications in the dispensing machine need to be replenished. If replenishment is required, the replenishing device can take the medications from the secondary medicinal material warehouse 124 and replenish the medicinal materials to the dispensing machine. The dispensing machine automatically dispenses the required medications and delivers them to the dispensing container. After the operator re-verifies that they are correct, they are delivered to the automatic decoction and filling area 126 for water addition, soaking, decoction, and filling. The drug residue generated during the preparation process in the automatic decoction and filling area 126 can be transported to the drug residue processing area 127 for processing, and the prepared drugs can be transported to the boxing and packaging area 128 for packaging.

[0053] In summary, the decoction production system 100 provided in this embodiment adopts an innovative double-layer structure design, separating the production equipment layer 120 from the medicinal material warehouse layer 110, which greatly saves floor space. The system is provided with a primary medicinal material warehouse 112, a secondary medicinal material warehouse 124 and an automatic dispensing area 125, which realizes the hierarchical storage of medicinal materials from large quantities, medium quantities to small quantities. This not only optimizes the storage conditions of medicinal materials, but also promotes the efficient flow of medicinal material logistics, ensuring the continuity and convenience of medicine collection and placement. In addition, the dispensing machine and the feeding device in the automatic dispensing area can be used to automatically feed the medicinal materials required in the dispensing machine, and the automatic dispensing area can realize the automatic adjustment of the prescription to be decocted. After the adjustment, the medicinal materials enter the decoction pot and flow into the automatic decoction production area through a conveyor belt. The automatic decoction production area is used to realize the entire decoction production process. In the present utility model, by setting a control system, the fully automated operation of medicinal material dispensing and decoction can be realized without manual intervention.
