[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to drugs used for the prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of diseases, as well as for rehabilitation and health maintenance, under the guidance of TCM theory. In order to ensure the clinical efficacy of TCM preparations and to minimize adverse reactions and toxic side effects caused by inaccurate measurement, the weighing of TCM needs to be precise, rapid, and standardized. Therefore, a special weighing scale is required.

[0003] Current traditional Chinese medicine weighing devices require staff to slowly add the medicine into the electronic scale until the required amount is reached. This process is labor-intensive and affects user experience. To overcome these shortcomings, existing technology (Chinese patent application number 202420423707.2, application date 2024-03-05) describes an intelligent traditional Chinese medicine weighing device. This device uses a sliding baffle on the inner side of the sliding port to achieve the switching function of the three-way dispensing tube. After the electronic scale weighs the required weight, an electric telescopic rod moves the baffle, closing one dispensing port of the three-way dispensing tube and opening the other, thus realizing intelligent dispensing and retrieval functions. This frees up the staff's hands and has high practical value. However, due to the dispersed components and large size, the above-mentioned weighing device is only suitable for use in hospitals, pharmacies, or at home. It is not convenient to carry around, and it is inconvenient to weigh and dispense medicine when patients need to take it while out, resulting in limited practicality of the device.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for innovative design based on existing equipment. Therefore, we have proposed a Chinese medicine dispensing device with weighing function that can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
