[0002] As the population ages and the number of elderly people continues to increase, the demand for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for chronic and geriatric diseases is also rising. Sales of TCM decoction pieces, particularly those targeting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and rheumatic bone diseases, are experiencing sustained growth. With improved living standards and increased health awareness, more people are using TCM decoction pieces for daily health maintenance. Tonic and health-promoting herbs such as ginseng, goji berries, and astragalus are particularly popular, indicating a promising market prospect for TCM raw materials and decoction pieces.
[0003] Office workers often face problems such as prolonged sitting, staying up late, and high stress, leading to fatigue, weakened immunity, insomnia, and anxiety. According to surveys, over 70% of office workers frequently experience physical fatigue, and nearly 50% have sleep problems. Mid-to-high-end health-promoting herbs such as American ginseng can replenish qi and yin, and combat fatigue; while jujube seed can nourish the liver, calm the mind, and promote sleep, perfectly meeting their health needs. Therefore, mid-to-high-end daily health-promoting herbs targeting office workers are experiencing rapid growth.
[0004] However, while traditional packaging for Chinese medicinal herbs is diverse, most have significant shortcomings. For example, plastic bags, though low-cost, offer poor sealing, making it difficult to effectively prevent moisture absorption, oxidation, and spoilage, and are inconvenient to carry and use. This is especially true for mid-to-high-end daily health supplements targeted at office workers, such as some oral pastes and solid / high-viscosity fluids, which are prone to sticking to the hands and bottom, overflowing (due to knobs on bottle rims), and are not convenient to mix with water. Therefore, developing a new packaging structure that can both preserve Chinese medicinal herbs well and facilitate easy access and use is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Adaptable Structure for Pharmaceuticals: The internal space of the tube is rationally designed to accommodate various forms of Chinese medicinal herbs, including powders, pastes, and lumps. The diameter of the perforation at the bottom is carefully designed to ensure that the herbs can smoothly pass through the perforation and come into contact with water when the package is immersed or stirred, while preventing excessive leakage.
[0037] Labeling and Carrying Structure: Clear graduations 6 are provided on the outer surface of the tube 1, allowing users to easily see the remaining amount of medicinal herbs inside. A labeling area is also provided on the tube 1 for labeling important information such as the name, efficacy, origin, and shelf life of the medicinal herbs, facilitating user identification and management. Furthermore, a convenient carrying loop 7 is located on the top of the cap 2, allowing users to hang the tube package on backpacks, keychains, or other items for easy transport and access to the medicinal herbs anytime, anywhere.
[0038] Working principle: First, the elastic sealing rubber ring 4 is installed on the inner edge of the top cover 2, and the sealing rubber gasket is installed at the connection point between the lower sleeve 3 and the tube body 1. Next, the Chinese medicinal materials are loaded into the tube body 1, and then the top cover 2 is tightened to the upper end of the tube body 1 via threads, so that the elastic sealing rubber ring 4 fits tightly against the frustum 5 at the upper end of the tube body 1. Finally, the lower sleeve 3 is fitted onto the lower end of the tube body 1, ensuring that the sealing rubber gasket is in tight contact with the lower end of the tube body 1, thus completing the assembly of the entire round tube packaging for Chinese medicinal materials.
[0039] When you need to take out the Chinese medicinal herbs, simply remove the lower sleeve 3 and soak or stir the herbs in water. After taking out the herbs, put the lower sleeve 3 back onto the lower end of the tube 1 and tighten the top cap 2 to ensure the packaging is sealed. In daily use, you can observe the remaining amount of Chinese medicinal herbs by observing the scale markings 6 on the outside of the tube 1, and identify and manage the herbs by the information on the label area. If you need to carry it, you can hang the packaging in a convenient place using the hanging ring 7. Alternatively, you can place the hanging ring 7 on the outside of the cup to easily lift the entire tube 1.
[0040] Regarding the outer packaging, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cavity has a partition to hold the tubular inner packaging of Chinese medicinal materials. The classification is clear and easy to access. The design style is simple and unpretentious. It is made of environmentally friendly cardboard in one piece, which is in line with the modern environmental protection concept and reduces the environmental burden.
[0041] Meanwhile, the T-shaped block 14 at the bottom of the box 10 can be moved upwards, causing the magnet 15 at the bottom of the T-shaped block 14 to attract the iron plate 16 of the fixed beam 13, thus pushing the tubular inner package of Chinese medicinal materials out of the outlet 12 at the top of the box 10, which adds more fun and a sense of ritual.
