The control method of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece dispensing system comprises the following steps:

step 1: the computer terminal reads the prescription information in the patient treatment card through the card reader and sends the prescription information to the automatic controller;

step 2: the automatic controller controls the action of the container emptying mechanism 200, dispenses one dispensing container 100 onto the container conveying mechanism, and records the initial coordinates of the dispensing container 100 on the container conveying mechanism;

and step 3: the automatic controller controls the container conveying mechanism to intermittently feed, and records the coordinate change of the dispensing container 100 on the container conveying mechanism in real time, wherein the coordinate value change amount is 1 when the container conveying mechanism advances by one step distance;

and 4, step 4: when the dispensing container 100 reaches the position below the medicine storing and discharging mechanism 400 of the medicinal materials corresponding to the prescription, the automatic controller controls the quantitative medicine discharging mechanism 440 of the medicine storing and discharging mechanism 400 to act, and quantitatively discharges the medicinal materials to the dispensing container 100 according to the content of the medicinal materials in the prescription;

and 5: when the dispensing container 100 reaches the container packaging mechanism 500, the automatic controller controls the container packaging mechanism 500 to operate, and packages the dispensing container 100;

step 16: the automatic controller controls the marking device 600 to operate, adds an identification label with the name of the patient to the sealed dispensing container 100, and finishes dispensing.

In step 3, when the dispensing container 100 reaches the junction between the main conveyor line 310 and the branch conveyor line 320, the automatic controller determines whether or not there is a medicinal material contained in the prescription on the branch conveyor line 320, and if so, the automatic controller controls the first pusher robot 302 to operate to push the dispensing container 100 from the main conveyor line 310 to the branch conveyor line 320, and if not, the first pusher robot 302 does not operate to continue feeding the dispensing container 100 along the main conveyor line 310.

When the dispensing containers 100 on the branch conveying line 320 reach the tail end of the branch conveying line 320, the automatic controller judges whether the dispensing containers 100 pass through the medicine storing and placing mechanism 400 corresponding to all medicinal materials in the prescription, if so, the automatic controller controls the dispensing containers 100 to enter the container packaging mechanism 500 from the second outlet 322 of the branch conveying line 320, and if not, the automatic controller controls the second material pushing manipulator 303 at the first outlet 321 to act, so that the dispensing containers 100 are pushed to the queuing mechanism 700, and the dispensing containers 100 in the queuing mechanism 700 are counted.

The automatic controller determines whether or not there is a dispensing container 100 in the main transport line 310 below the queuing mechanism 700 based on the coordinate data of all the dispensing containers 100, and if so, the automatic controller controls the queuing mechanism 700 to stand by, and if not, the automatic controller controls the queuing mechanism 700 to operate so as to discharge the dispensing container 100 at the forefront of the queue onto the main transport line 310.

In step 4, when the optical material detection mechanism 431 in the middle of the powder temporary storage bin 430 of the powder and medicine placing mechanism 400 detects that the material in the powder temporary storage bin 430 is insufficient, the automatic controller controls the forward and reverse rotation servo motor 415 to rotate forward, so that the spiral material pushing plate 413 in the medicine storage box 410 feeds the material downwards, and controls the medicinal material crushing mechanism 420 to operate, thereby replenishing the medicinal material in the powder temporary storage bin 430.

When the optical material detection mechanism 431 at the lower part of the powder and medicine temporary storage bin 430 of the medicine storage and discharge mechanism 400 detects that the upper part of the quantitative discharge mechanism is empty, the automatic controller controls the whole system to pause and sends a fault signal to the computer terminal.

In the step 5, the automatic controller firstly controls the vacuum suction head 5212 on the central rotary table 521 to suck air, and simultaneously controls the lifting platform 523 to ascend, so that the support plate 522 is abutted against the bottoms of the flange-shaped

flanges

121 and 111 of the dispensing container 100; then the automatic controller controls the action of the liner heat-sealing pressure head 512 to encapsulate the liner 110, and before the process, the shell encapsulation paper tape 502 is provided with a through hole for the liner 110 encapsulation pressure head to pass through in advance; and then the automatic controller controls the shell packaging paper tape 502 to feed a step pitch, then controls the shell 120 to package by the action of the packaging pressure head, controls the liner packaging paper tape 501 to feed a step pitch after packaging is finished, simultaneously controls the central rotary table 521 to rotate 90 degrees by the automatic controller, and then controls the fourth pushing manipulator 306 to push the dispensing container 100 out of the container packaging mechanism 500.
