Abstract
Chinese medicine has existed for thousands of year, and it plays an important role in today´s medical world. There are many diseases which can be cured much more efficiently with Chinese medicine or combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine than using pure western medicine. However, it takes time to decoct Chinese drugs and, time is money. In modern society, therefore automatic Chinese drugs decocting machines are invented. The machines now available use a censor to predetermine the amount of drugs and do not take the features and water absorbability of raw herbs material into consideration. The accuracy of the amount of the decocted drugs and its efficiency is somewhat limited. Therefore, those automatic drugs decocting machines can only be called as “fixed amount of drugs boilers”. To improve the efficiency of traditional Chinese herb medicine prepared with auto-machine, a “Fuzzy Chinese Drugs Decocting Machine” is presented in this paper. It considers not only the features of raw material but can also control the temperature of decocting and the amount of drugs. The entire boiling process and the efficiency of resulting medicine, is almost the same as it were decocted by ancient process
