[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 A traditional Chinese medicine processing device, comprising:

[0038] The pretreatment mechanism specifically includes a conveying mechanism 1, and a slicing mechanism 2 is provided at the upper end of the conveying mechanism 1 for slicing Chinese medicinal materials.
