[0039] Working principle: In use, seven dispensing hoppers 4 are installed side-by-side inside the housing 1 using screws 607. Then, medicinal materials are freely combined within the dispensing hoppers 4, such as 4 hoppers of granules and 3 hoppers of prepared Chinese medicine slices. The top of the dispensing bag is then fitted over the bottom of the discharge cylinder 7, with the bottom of the dispensing bag located at the bottom of the dispensing trough 9. The first electric push rod 1101 is then activated, extending and moving the U-shaped protective frame 1102 to further secure the top of the dispensing bag. Since the bottom of each inner dispensing hopper 4 is equipped with an independent conveyor belt 606, the operator inputs the prescription on the display screen of the controller 12. The system allocates the dispensing amount for each dispensing hopper 4. At this time, the discharge solenoid valve 3 opens, allowing the medicinal materials to fall into the weighing hopper 502. Simultaneously, the weighing sensor 50... 3. The weight is detected and the display screen shows the weighing value in real time. When the preset value is reached, the third electric push rod 505 is activated, causing the weighing hopper 502 and the mounting plate 501 to rotate around the rotating rod 504. The weighed medicinal materials are poured into the conveyor belt 606. Then, the drive motor 601 is activated to drive the second rotating shaft 603 and the second roller 605 to rotate. During the rotation, the second roller 605 cooperates with the first roller 604 to drive the conveyor belt 606 to rotate. After the conveyor belt 606 is activated, it transports the medicinal materials and drops them into the buffer cylinder 8. Then, it enters the dispensing bag from the discharge cylinder 7. Then, the second electric push rod 1103 is activated to extend and drive the electric heating plate 1104 to extend out from the clearance groove 1105 to seal the top of the dispensing bag.
