Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent identification technology for traditional Chinese medicine, and in particular to a portable intelligent identification device for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent identification technology for traditional Chinese medicine utilizes advanced artificial intelligence algorithms (such as machine learning and deep learning) combined with sensors, image processing technology, and spectral analysis to quickly and accurately identify and classify traditional Chinese medicines. This process involves not only analyzing the appearance of the herbs but also detecting their internal structure and chemical composition.

[0003] The existing technology publication CN213843010U provides an automatic rating system for traditional Chinese medicine based on image RGB analysis. This technology can provide rapid, objective, quantitative, and traceable rating and identification for various traditional Chinese medicines. Furthermore, this technology is a detection system relying on computer graphics, optical image processing, and big data pattern matching, significantly reducing the requirements for the subjective experience and professional background of testing personnel, and is expected to promote the standardization process of the traditional Chinese medicine identification and procurement system.

[0004] Existing technologies have enabled the identification and rating of traditional Chinese medicines. However, when identifying herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus, which may appear similar but differ significantly in internal structure, texture, or color, current technologies are not suitable for automatically slicing these herbs. This results in the ability to collect surface features without being able to determine their internal structure, leading to confusion or misjudgment.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology lacks a technique for identifying Chinese herbal medicines such as Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus that have similar appearances by cutting them apart. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a portable intelligent identification device for traditional Chinese medicine.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a portable intelligent identification device for traditional Chinese medicine, comprising an identification box body, a protective support mechanism provided on the outside of the identification box body, a sliding seat slidably fitted on the inner wall of the identification box body, a transmission component rotatably connected to the sliding seat, a herb cutting mechanism for automatically cutting herbs fixedly connected to the transmission component, two movable seats slidably fitted on the sliding seat in a symmetrical structure, and a herb positioning and flipping mechanism rotatably connected to the movable seats.

[0010] Preferably, the support base is slidably fitted to the inner wall of the bottom end of the identification box, and a protective cover is fixedly connected to the top end of the support base. The bottom end of the protective cover is slidably fitted to the top end of the identification box, and a groove is formed on the top end of the protective cover.

[0011] Preferably, guide rods are slidably fitted on both inner walls of the inner end of the sliding seat, the outer ends of the guide rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the identification box, multiple tension springs are fixedly connected to the inner end of the sliding seat, the other ends of the tension springs are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the identification box, a box cover is fixedly connected to the outer end of the sliding seat, a placement tray is provided above the sliding seat, multiple insertion rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement tray, and the insertion rods are movably inserted into the top of the sliding seat.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat. Two rotating columns are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft in a symmetrical structure, and the outer wall of the rotating columns is provided with concave and convex annular grooves.

[0013] Preferably, the herbal slicing mechanism includes a mounting block, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft. One end of the mounting block has a mounting groove, and a connecting block is movably inserted into the inner wall of the mounting groove. The connecting block has an insertion hole in the middle, and a bolt is movably inserted into the insertion hole. The bolt is threadedly connected to the mounting block, and a slicing blade is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting block.

[0014] Preferably, a fixed rod is slidably fitted through the middle of the movable seat, and both ends of the fixed rod are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat. A spring is fixedly connected to one side of the movable seat, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat. A contact shaft is fixedly connected to the side of the movable seat facing the rotating column, and the other end of the contact shaft is slidably fitted to the inner wall of the concave-convex annular groove.

[0015] Preferably, the herbal positioning and flipping mechanism includes a U-shaped frame, with electric push rods fixedly connected to both inner walls of the U-shaped frame. A herbal clamp is fixedly connected to the output end of each electric push rod. The bottom end of the U-shaped frame is rotatably connected to a movable seat via a pin.

An adjusting wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the worm, and a fixed rack is engaged with one side of the adjusting wheel. The fixed rack is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By setting a herbal cutting mechanism inside the recognition box, it can automatically cut Chinese herbal medicines such as Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus that look similar, obtain internal structure and component information, greatly reduce the misjudgment rate, improve the recognition accuracy of herbs of the same genus or with similar appearance, eliminate the need for manual cutting before recognition, avoid the oxidation of the cut surface during the manual cutting and recognition process, which affects the recognition accuracy, save manpower, reduce the complexity of operation, and improve the ease of use of portable devices;

[0018] 2. By setting up a transmission component, the moving seat can be automatically moved after the herb cutting mechanism rotates and cuts the herbs. This prevents the cut herb surfaces on the herb positioning and flipping mechanism from rubbing against each other, thereby reducing damage to the herbs or positional shifts caused by friction. This ensures the integrity and consistency of the herb surfaces during the identification process. Under the action of the fixed rack, the herb positioning and flipping mechanism automatically flips, ensuring that the cut herb surfaces are always aligned with the near-infrared spectral sensor above. This guarantees that the quality and characteristics of the herb surfaces are accurately detected during each spectral acquisition. This not only significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of herb identification but also reduces operating costs.

[0019] 3. By integrating the cutting and identification structures inside the identification box, the overall size of the device is small, making it portable enough to fit in a backpack. It is suitable for on-site, mobile, or field identification of Chinese herbal medicines. With the addition of a protective support mechanism, when the device is taken out for use, the two support bases are moved outward to increase the support range and improve the stability of the device during operation. At the same time, the protective cover on the support base can protect the control panel on the top of the identification box. The groove on the protective cover makes it easy to place the herbs to be identified without the need for additional support frames or herb fixing devices. The operation process is simple and intuitive. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following description is intended to disclose the invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0031] like Figures 1-9The portable intelligent identification device for Chinese herbal medicine shown includes an identification box body 1, a protective support mechanism 2 on the outside of the identification box body 1, a sliding seat 3 slidably fitted on the inner wall of the identification box body 1, a transmission component 4 rotatably connected to the sliding seat 3, a herbal cutting mechanism 5 for automatically cutting herbs fixedly connected to the transmission component 4, and two movable seats 6 slidably fitted on the sliding seat 3 in a symmetrical structure, with a herbal positioning and flipping mechanism 7 rotatably connected to the movable seats 6.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a near-infrared spectral sensor is installed on the inner wall of the top of the identification box 1, and a control panel 101 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the identification box 1.

[0033] The near-infrared spectral sensor used in this device is an intelligent spectral recognition sensor, not a traditional single-acquisition sensor. It integrates three core functions: intelligent calibration, automatic compensation, and data preprocessing, making it suitable for accurate identification in complex field environments. This intelligent sensor has a built-in temperature and humidity intelligent compensation module, which can automatically sense and identify temperature and humidity changes inside and around the identification chamber 1, and compensate and calibrate the spectral acquisition data in real time. This avoids spectral data distortion caused by fluctuations in field temperature and humidity, such as high temperatures and humidity, ensuring stable identification accuracy. Simultaneously, the intelligent sensor has automatic wake-up and sleep functions. When the herb positioning and flipping mechanism 7 moves the cut herb section closer, the sensor automatically wakes up and starts spectral acquisition. After acquisition, it automatically goes into sleep mode, effectively reducing equipment energy consumption and adapting to various environments. The portable device's battery power requirement is met, extending its battery life. Furthermore, this smart sensor supports both real-time data upload and offline storage modes. It can connect to a mobile network via the control panel 101 to upload recognition data to a cloud database for subsequent data tracing, statistics, and analysis. In offline mode, data can be stored in the control panel 101's built-in storage module, ensuring normal use in environments without network access. The control panel 101 has a built-in database of traditional Chinese medicine spectroscopic data, enabling rapid comparison and analysis to output recognition results. The control panel 101 features a high-definition touchscreen with simple operation, allowing manual input of medicinal herb information to assist in recognition. It also has data storage capabilities, recording recognition history for easy retrieval. The control panel 101's surface is scratch-resistant and waterproof, making it suitable for use in complex outdoor environments and preventing damage from dust and water stains.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the protective support mechanism 2 includes a threaded rod 201, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the identification box 1. An adjusting block 202 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the threaded rod 201 inside the identification box 1. A connecting rod 203 is rotatably connected to both sides of the adjusting block 202, and a support seat 204 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 203.

[0035] The protective support mechanism 2 provides stable support and top protection for the device, making it suitable for use on uneven terrain in the field. The threaded rod 201 features a high-precision thread design, with one end extending to the outside of the identification box 1 and equipped with a knob for easy manual adjustment and convenient operation. The support base 204 has an anti-slip rubber pad at the bottom to increase friction with the ground, prevent the device from sliding during use, and improve stability. At the same time, the support base 204 is made of lightweight alloy material, which does not increase the overall weight of the device and ensures portability.

[0036] The support base 204 is slidably fitted to the inner wall of the bottom end of the identification box 1. A protective cover 205 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support base 204. The bottom end of the protective cover 205 is slidably fitted to the top end of the identification box 1. A groove 206 is provided at the top end of the protective cover 205.

[0037] The support base 204 slides smoothly against the inner wall of the bottom of the identification box 1 without any jamming, ensuring that the support base 204 can be flexibly expanded or retracted. When expanded, it increases the support range, and when retracted, it is easy to store without taking up extra space. The protective cover 205 is fixedly connected to the support base 204 and moves synchronously with the support base 204. When retracted, it can completely cover the control screen 101 at the top of the identification box 1, preventing dust, debris, and rainwater from falling on the control screen 101 during field use. The groove 206 at the top of the protective cover 205 has an arc-shaped structure, and its size is suitable for the placement of common Chinese herbal medicines. It can be used as a temporary medicine placement platform without the need for additional support frames or placement containers, simplifying the operation process. The inner wall of the groove 206 is smoothed to avoid scratching the surface of the Chinese herbal medicines and is easy to clean. It can be quickly wiped clean after use.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, guide rods 301 are slidably fitted on both inner walls of the inner end of the sliding seat 3. The outer ends of the guide rods 301 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the identification box 1. Multiple tension springs 302 are fixedly connected to the inner end of the sliding seat 3, and the other ends of the tension springs 302 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the identification box 1. A box cover 303 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the sliding seat 3. A placement tray 304 is provided above the sliding seat 3. Multiple insertion rods 305 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement tray 304, and the insertion rods 305 are movably inserted into the top of the sliding seat 3. The tension springs 302 drive the sliding seat 3 back into the identification box 1. The placement tray 304 allows for the placement and identification of herbs that do not need to be cut. When herbs need to be cut, the placement tray 304 can be removed.

[0039] The guide rod 301 is made of high-strength stainless steel with a smooth polished surface. It slides smoothly with the inner wall of the sliding seat 3, providing stable guidance for the extension and retraction of the sliding seat 3. The tension spring 302 is made of high-strength elastic material with stable elasticity. In its natural state, it can pull the sliding seat 3 to retract into the identification box 1 to realize device storage and save space. When in use, the sliding seat 3 can be pulled out by manually pulling the box cover 303, which is convenient to operate.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the transmission assembly 4 includes a motor 401, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat 3. A rotating shaft 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 401, and the rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat 3. Two rotating columns 403 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 402 in a symmetrical structure, and the outer wall of the rotating columns 403 is provided with concave and convex annular grooves 404. The concave and convex annular grooves 404 enable the moving seat 6 and the herb positioning and flipping mechanism 7 to be driven when the cutting blade 504 continues to rotate after cutting the herbs.

[0041] The motor 401 is a DC motor with moderate power and low energy consumption, which is suitable for the battery power supply needs of portable devices. It operates stably and starts and stops smoothly, and can accurately control the rotation speed and angle of the rotating shaft 402. The rotating shaft 402 is made of rigid material. The concave and convex structure of the groove 404 is precisely designed. When the rotating column 403 rotates, the contact shaft 603 slides in the groove 404, which can realize the reciprocating movement of the moving seat 6. After cutting, it drives the moving seat 6 away to avoid the cut surfaces of the herbs rubbing against each other. At the same time, it provides power for the rotation of the herb positioning and flipping mechanism 7.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, the herbal slicing mechanism 5 includes a mounting block 501, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 402. One end of the mounting block 501 has a mounting groove 502, and a connecting block 503 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the mounting groove 502. The connecting block 503 has an insertion hole in the middle, and a bolt is movably inserted into the insertion hole. The bolt is threadedly connected to the mounting block 501. The other end of the connecting block 503 is fixedly connected to a slicing blade 504.

[0043] The herbal slicing mechanism 5 is used to automatically slice Chinese herbs, obtain internal structure and component information, and improve recognition accuracy. The mounting slot 502 is movably inserted into the connecting block 503 and fixed with bolts, allowing for quick replacement of the slicing blade 504. The slicing blade 504 is made of wear-resistant medical-grade stainless steel, with a sharp blade that is not easy to rust. It produces a smooth cut during slicing, avoiding squeezing and damage to the herb cross-section, while reducing oxidation of the cut surface. This ensures the accuracy of the component information collected by the near-infrared spectral sensor. The surface of the slicing blade 504 is treated with an anti-stick coating to prevent herb fragments from sticking together and to facilitate cleaning.

[0044] By setting a herbal cutting mechanism 5 inside the identification box 1, it can automatically cut similar-looking Chinese herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus to obtain internal structure and component information, which greatly reduces the misjudgment rate and improves the identification accuracy of herbs of the same genus or similar appearance. It eliminates the need for manual cutting before identification, avoids oxidation of the cut surface during manual cutting and identification, which affects the identification accuracy, saves manpower, reduces the complexity of operation, and improves the ease of use of portable devices.

[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, a fixed rod 601 is slidably fitted through the middle of the movable seat 6. Both ends of the fixed rod 601 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat 3. A spring 602 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable seat 6. The other end of the spring 602 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat 3. A contact shaft 603 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable seat 6 facing the rotating column 403. The other end of the contact shaft 603 is slidably fitted to the inner wall of the concave-convex annular groove 404.

[0046] Spring 602 is a spring with a moderate elastic coefficient, and spring 602 can play a buffering role.

[0047] like Figure 9 As shown, the herbal positioning and flipping mechanism 7 includes a U-shaped frame 701. Electric push rods 702 are fixedly connected to both inner walls of the U-shaped frame 701. A Chinese herbal medicine clamp 703 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 702. The bottom end of the U-shaped frame 701 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 6 via a pin. One end of the pin passes through the movable seat 6 and is fixedly connected to a worm gear 704. A worm 705 is meshed and driven on one side of the worm gear 704. The worm 705 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 6. An adjusting wheel 706 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm 705. A fixed rack 707 is meshed and driven on one side of the adjusting wheel 706. The fixed rack 707 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat 3.

[0048] The herbal positioning and flipping mechanism 7 is used to achieve precise positioning and flipping of Chinese herbal medicines after cutting, ensuring that the cut surface is aligned with the near-infrared spectroscopy sensor; the electric push rod 702 adopts a small, high-precision electric push rod with precise extension and retraction and stable power, which can drive the Chinese herbal medicine clamp 703 to move closer or further away in sync, so as to achieve a stable clamping of Chinese herbal medicines of different thicknesses. The clamping force can be adjusted through the control panel 101 to avoid damaging the herbs by clamping too tightly, or causing shaking during cutting by clamping too loosely; the Chinese herbal medicine clamp 703 is made of soft, wear-resistant silicone material with anti-slip texture on the surface, which can conform to the surface of the herbs, ensuring a stable clamping while avoiding scratching the herbal medicine skin.

[0049] Working principle: First, after the device arrives at the identification site, the identification box 1 is taken out, and the threaded rod 201 of the protective support mechanism 2 is rotated. The threaded rod 201 drives the adjusting block 202 to move. The adjusting block 202 pushes the two support seats 204 to slide to both sides through the connecting rod 203. The support seats 204 drive the protective cover 205 to unfold synchronously until the support seats 204 move to the maximum stroke. At this time, the protective cover 205 completely removes the control screen 101 at the top of the identification box 1. The groove 206 at the top of the protective cover 205 can be used as a temporary place for medicines. Manually pull the box cover 303 at the outer end of the sliding seat 3. The sliding seat 3 slides outward along the guide rod 301. The tension spring 302 is stretched until the sliding seat 3 is fully unfolded.

[0050] When it is necessary to cut herbs for identification, first remove the placement tray 304, and then place the herbs to be identified, such as Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus, into the two U-shaped frames 701 at both ends. Depending on the thickness of the herbs, the electric push rods 702 on the two moving seats 6 are extended by controlling the control panel 101. The electric push rods 702 drive the herb clamps 703 to move closer simultaneously, and firmly clamp the herbs between the two herb clamps 703. The clamping force is adjusted to a moderate level to avoid damaging the herbs or being clamped loosely.

[0051] Then, the motor 401 of the transmission component 4 is started through the control panel 101. The motor 401 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate at a constant speed. The rotating shaft 402 drives the mounting block 501 in the middle and the cutting blade 504 to rotate synchronously. The cutting blade 504 automatically cuts the Chinese herbal medicine held by the Chinese herbal medicine clamp 703, and the cut is flat. At this time, the rotating column 403 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 402. The contact shaft 603 slides in the flat section of the concave-convex ring groove 404. The moving seat 6 remains stationary to ensure that the position of the herb is stable during cutting and to avoid cutting deviation. After cutting is completed, the cutting blade 504 continues to rotate. The contact shaft 603 enters the concave-convex section of the concave-convex ring groove 404 and is pushed to drive the moving seat 6 to slide to both sides along the fixed rod 601. The spring 602 is stretched. The moving seat 6 drives the herb positioning and flipping mechanism 7 and the cut herb to move away from the cutting blade 504 synchronously to avoid the herb cross-sections rubbing against each other and breaking.

[0052] When the movable seat 6 slides to both sides, the adjusting wheel 706 meshes with the fixed rack 707, driving the worm 705 to rotate. The worm 705 meshes with the worm wheel 704, which in turn drives the U-shaped frame 701 to rotate via a pin until the cut herb cross-section is precisely aligned with the near-infrared spectral sensor at the top of the identification box 1. The near-infrared spectral sensor is activated, quickly acquiring spectral data from the herb cross-section and transmitting it to the control screen 101 in real time. The built-in spectral database on the control screen 101 compares and analyzes the acquired data, including information such as the name of the Chinese herb, its origin, efficacy, and authenticity, which is displayed on the control screen 101 for easy viewing by the user. During the identification process, the self-locking function of the worm wheel 704 and the worm 705 ensures that the angle of the U-shaped frame 701 is fixed, preventing it from rotating and ensuring accurate spectral acquisition.
