[0002] At present, the technology of automatic decoction of traditional Chinese medicine gradually emerges, which can improve the decoction efficiency and is very important for many patients. Since traditional Chinese medicine needs to be proportioned (the weight of the components of traditional Chinese medicine and water) and needs to be poured into the decoction for heating and other processes, the medicine bucket containing traditional Chinese medicine and water needs to be transferred, poured and other work. At present, only conveying and clamping the medicine bucket can be completed in the prior art. The applicant previously applied for a medicine feeding device and method for an automatic decoction room with the application number 202211686372.5. The action process of the automatic decoction room is to first put the medicine bag and water into the medicine bucket, then transfer the medicine bucket to the upper part of the decoction machine, then pour the water and medicine bag in the medicine bucket into the decoction machine, and the decocted medicinal soup is directly sent to the medicinal soup automatic packaging machine to be packaged into small packages. The traditional Chinese medicine in the decoction machine is manually taken out, then the medicine bucket is returned to the conveying roller by the clamp, and then the medicine bucket is manually cleaned.

[0003] However, the above step process is not reasonable and has at least the following defects: 1. The medicine bag needs to be manually taken out, and the temperature of the medicine bag is high after decoction, which can easily cause burns; 2. When the medicine bag needs to be replaced, the inner cavity of the decoction machine needs to be cleaned, the cleaning action is long and the decoction action cannot be performed, so the decoction efficiency is relatively low; 3. The used medicine bucket also needs to be cleaned, and the cleaned medicine bucket also needs to be manually sent to the upstream of the conveying roller line one by one, so the operator needs to carry the medicine bucket, which is labor-intensive; 4. The medicine bucket needs to be poured, which can easily cause water splashing. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
