[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies, pharmacists primarily rely on manual labor, retrieving various medicinal herbs one by one from the medicine cabinets. This method is inefficient due to its manual nature. A prescription typically contains multiple herbs, requiring the pharmacist to move between different cabinets to locate and weigh the appropriate herbs, which is time-consuming, especially during busy periods, leading to long wait times for patients. Therefore, new dispensing devices have emerged on the market.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN213762947U discloses a weighing device for dispensing traditional Chinese medicine, including a base. A set of evenly distributed weighing devices is placed on the top surface of the base. A weighing pan is fixed to the top surface of each weighing device. A pushing frame is fitted around the outside of the weighing pan. The pushing frame is fixed to the base and has a set of circular grooves on its top surface that fit the weighing pan. A set of storage boxes is placed on the top surface of the base. An inclined sorting slide plate is fixed between the storage boxes and the pushing frame. Symmetrical sliding grooves are formed on the top surface of the pushing frame. A push plate is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding grooves, and the push plate fits tightly against the pushing frame. This dispensing weighing device can weigh multiple medicines simultaneously and, after weighing, can simultaneously sort and push them into different storage boxes, effectively improving convenience.
