[0026] Reference Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a traditional Chinese medicine dispensing device, including a tray 1, with mounting holes 2 on both sides of the tray 1. A transparent protective cover 3, made of acrylic material, is slidably connected to the upper surface of the tray 1. Two circular grooves 4 are formed on the inner wall of the transparent protective cover 3, and springs 5 ​​are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular grooves 4. A circular rod 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the springs 5. The circular rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular grooves 4, and the size of the circular rod 6 is adapted to the size of the mounting holes 2. By setting a slidable transparent protective cover 3 on the tray 1, and utilizing the cooperation structure of the springs 5 ​​and the circular rod 6 with the mounting holes 2, the upper part of the tray 1 can be easily and quickly protected or opened, effectively preventing the traditional Chinese medicine materials from accumulating dust and becoming contaminated above the tray 1. This design facilitates the handling and inspection of medicinal materials. The transparent acrylic protective cover 3 provides excellent light transmission, ensuring unobstructed observation of the materials within the tray. A friction pad 7, made of rubber, is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tray 1. The rubber material is wear-resistant and durable, increasing friction between the tray 1 and the surface it's placed on, effectively preventing slippage or displacement during dispensing, thus improving stability and ensuring smooth dispensing operations. Fluorescent markers 8 and 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tray 1. These markers clearly indicate relevant areas or scales on the tray 1 in low-light conditions, facilitating easy access to the materials. Pharmacists can accurately dispense and prepare medications at night or in low light conditions, avoiding operational errors caused by lighting issues and improving the accuracy and efficiency of medication preparation. An L-shaped block 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tray 1. The surface of the L-shaped block 10 has anti-slip protrusions, providing a stable and easy-to-grip point for the operator. The anti-slip protrusions increase the friction between the hand and the L-shaped block, preventing slippage and facilitating safer and more stable lifting and movement of the tray 1, improving operational convenience and safety. Two connecting rods 12 are slidably inserted inside the transparent protective cover 3, passing through the circular groove 4. One end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the circular rod 6, and the end of the connecting rod 12 away from the circular rod 6 is fixedly connected to a circular block 13. The protective cover 3 is equipped with a connecting rod 12 and a circular block 13 connected to the circular rod 6. By operating the circular block 13, the connecting rod 12 is moved, thereby controlling the insertion and removal of the circular rod 6 in the mounting hole 2. This allows for easy locking and unlocking of the transparent protective cover 3, making operation convenient and facilitating quick opening and closing of the protective cover to protect or retrieve the medicinal materials inside the tray. The front end of the circular rod 6 is arc-shaped, and two positioning blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the surface of the transparent protective cover 3. The arc-shaped front end of the circular rod 6 allows for smoother docking with the mounting hole 2 of the tray body 1 during the sliding process of the transparent protective cover 3, reducing jamming and making the operation smoother. When the protective cover slides and causes the positioning blocks 11 to lock onto the surface of the tray body 1, the circular rod 6 can be quickly aligned with the mounting hole 2, thus facilitating the quick installation of the transparent protective cover 3.The surface of the disc 1 is coated with an antibacterial coating, which effectively inhibits the growth and reproduction of various bacteria on the surface of the disc 1, reducing the spoilage of medicinal materials caused by bacteria.

[0027] Working principle: The transparent protective cover 3 is pushed to slide on the upper surface of the disc 1 until the positioning block 11 on the transparent protective cover 3 is locked onto the surface of the disc 1. At this time, the circular rod 6 in the circular groove 4 will align with the mounting hole 2. Subsequently, the elastic force of the spring 5 will drive the circular rod 6 to automatically insert into the inner wall of the mounting hole 2, thus fixing the transparent protective cover 3 and preventing the medicine from being contaminated by dust due to the hollow design on the top of the disc 1. Its acrylic material ensures good visibility. The rubber friction pad 7 under the disc 1 increases the friction with the placement surface and prevents... The sliding displacement ensures a stable dispensing process. Fluorescent markings on the inner wall indicate relevant areas or scales for pharmacists in low light conditions, aiding in accurate dispensing. The L-shaped blocks 10 on the surface provide a stable grip point for easy extraction of the disc body 1. Anti-slip protrusions prevent slippage when lifting the L-shaped blocks 10 on the disc body 1. The arc-shaped design at the front end of the round rod 6 allows for smoother and more precise insertion. The antibacterial coating on the surface of the disc body 1 inhibits bacterial growth, reducing the risk of bacterial deterioration of medicinal materials, and comprehensively improving the accuracy, safety, and hygiene of dispensing.
