However, the current production technology of the traditional Chinese medicine industry is not as advanced as that of Western medicine. Many processes are not highly automated and still require manual labor. For example, in the current production process, after the traditional Chinese medicine is selected, the weight of each medicinal material needs to be weighed manually, and then added to the mixing tank in proportion for formulation, followed by weighing and packaging. In this process, the control of quantity is poor, and the proportion of raw materials cannot be precisely controlled. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated dispensing device for traditional Chinese medicine formulation, including a base 1, a support column 2 fixedly connected to the top center of the base 1, a mixing tank 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support column 2, a discharge port with a valve inside the bottom of the mixing tank 3, a conveying box 6 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a screening box 4 fixedly connected to one side of the conveying box 6, a collection box 5 fixedly connected between the bottom of the screening box 4 and the base 1, a sieve plate 19 inside the screening box 4 for screening the traditional Chinese medicine in the screening box 4, a first rotating rod 20 rotatably connected inside the collection box 5, an eccentric wheel 21 fixedly connected to the outside of the first rotating rod 20, the rotation of the first rotating rod 20 causing the eccentric wheel 21 to rotate, and the conveying box 6 and the screening box 4 are connected... A connection port 26 is provided to allow the Chinese medicine in the screening box 4 to enter the conveying box 6. The conveying box 6 is rotatably connected to a conveying rod 23. The outer side of the conveying rod 23 is provided with a spiral blade 24. The rotation of the conveying rod 23 causes the spiral blade 24 to rotate, thus conveying the Chinese medicine. A fixed frame 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank 3. A collection port 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 13. The Chinese medicine in the conveying box 6 falls into the collection port 11. A baffle 12 is symmetrically rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 13. The baffle 12 blocks the bottom of the collection port 11. A connecting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle 12. When the connecting plate 31 moves, it causes the baffle 12 to rotate. A pressure sensor 32 is provided inside the connecting plate 31 to weigh the Chinese medicine on the surface of the baffle 12.

[0027] Furthermore, the top of the conveyor box 6 is fixedly connected to the first motor 10 via the fixing frame 14, and the top of the conveyor rod 23 passes through the fixing frame 14 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 10. When the first motor 10 is turned on, the first motor 10 rotates the fixing frame 14.

[0028] Furthermore, a conveying port 25 is provided on one side of the conveying box 6 to better allow the Chinese medicine to leave the conveying box 6, and an outlet 22 is provided on one side of the collecting box 5 to allow the screened impurities to leave the collecting box 5.

[0029] Furthermore, a second rotating rod 29 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 14, and a first bevel gear 27 is fixedly connected to the outside of the conveying rod 23. The conveying rod 23 rotates, causing the first bevel gear 27 to rotate. A second bevel gear 28 is meshed with one side of the first bevel gear 27. The scraper 17 rotates, causing the second bevel gear 28 to rotate. The side of the second bevel gear 28 away from the first bevel gear 27 is fixedly connected to the second rotating rod 29. The second bevel gear 28 rotates, causing the second rotating rod 29 to rotate.

[0030] Furthermore, the end of the second rotating rod 29 away from the first bevel gear 27 passes through one side of the fixed frame 14 and is fixedly connected to the first pulley 7. The rotation of the second rotating rod 29 causes the first pulley 7 to rotate.

[0031] Furthermore, one end of the first rotating rod 20 passes through one side of the collection box 5 and is fixedly connected to a second pulley 8. The rotation of the second pulley 8 causes the first rotating rod 20 to rotate. The second pulley 8 is connected to the first pulley 7 via a transmission belt 9. The first pulley 7 drives the second pulley 8 to rotate via the transmission belt 9.

[0032] Furthermore, an electric telescopic rod 30 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 13. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 31. When the electric telescopic rod 30 is turned on, the electric telescopic rod 30 rotates the connecting plate 31.

[0033] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected inside the mixing tank 3, and a scraper 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 15. Multiple stirring rods 16 are provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 15. The rotating shaft 15 rotates, causing the stirring rods 16 and the scraper 17 to rotate. The stirring rods 16 rotate to stir the Chinese medicine in the mixing tank 3, and the scraper 17 cleans the inner wall of the mixing tank 3.

[0034] Furthermore, a second motor 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 15 passes through one side of the mixing tank 3 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 18. When the second motor 18 is turned on, the second motor 18 rotates the rotating shaft 15.

[0035] In use, first turn on the second motor 18 and the first motor 10, then place the Chinese medicine into the screening box 4. The first motor 10 drives the conveyor rod 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blade 24 and the first bevel gear 27 to rotate. The first bevel gear 27 drives the second rotating rod 29 to rotate via the second bevel gear 28. The second rotating rod 29 drives the first pulley 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 8 via the transmission belt 9. The second pulley 8 drives the eccentric wheel 21 to rotate via the first rotating rod 20. The eccentric wheel 21 strikes the sieve plate 19 to prevent the medicinal materials on the surface of the sieve plate 19 from clogging and affecting the screening effect. The selected Chinese herbs enter the conveying box 6 through the connection port 26. The spiral blades 24 rotate to transport the Chinese herbs. The Chinese herbs fall from the conveying port 25 onto the surface of the baffle 12. The pressure sensor 32 weighs the Chinese herbs on the surface of the baffle 12. When the weight reaches a certain level, the first motor 10 is turned off, and the electric telescopic rod 30 opens and rotates the baffle 12 through the connecting plate 31. The baffle 12 moves away from the bottom of the collection port 11, and the weighed Chinese herbs fall into the mixing tank 3. The first motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 15 drives the stirring rod 16 and the scraper 17 to rotate, mixing the various Chinese herbs. The mixed Chinese herbs leave from the discharge port at the bottom of the mixing tank 3.
