Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine sorting technology, and in particular to a spectral detection and grading system for root and rhizome-type traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology
[0002] Sorting of Chinese medicinal herbs is a crucial step in the distribution and warehousing management of TCM. It refers to the process of accurately picking medicinal herbs, processed slices, or finished medicines from their storage locations based on their characteristics, order requirements, or prescription specifications, and then classifying, consolidating, and organizing them according to type, specification, or grade. Its core steps include picking, classifying, and consolidating to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the herbs in subsequent distribution or use. In warehousing management, sorting is used to store medicinal herbs by batch or grade.
[0003] For example, the Chinese patent publication number (CN108212798A) discloses a traditional Chinese medicine sorting device, which describes: "It includes a traditional Chinese medicine storage box, a support plate, a vibrator, a feed inlet, a sorting barrel, a motor, and a discharge port. The bottom ends of both sides of the traditional Chinese medicine storage box are connected to the support plate via hinges. A vibrator is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate. The end of the support plate away from the traditional Chinese medicine storage box is connected to the feed inlet via a hinge. The two ends of the feed inlet are connected and fixed by a fixing rod. The bottom end of the feed inlet is connected to the sorting barrel. A motor is fixedly installed on one end of the sorting barrel. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating drum. The surface of the rotating drum is evenly provided with multiple grooves, and the top of the grooves is fixedly connected to the receiving box. The bottom surface of the sorting barrel is evenly provided with multiple discharge ports. This invention automatically sorts traditional Chinese medicine based on its weight and size. It has a simple structure, high efficiency, and makes up for the current lack of sorting for strip-shaped traditional Chinese medicine."
[0004] In summary, the device also has the following technical problems: the currently used Chinese medicine sorting devices can generally only distinguish the size of Chinese medicine. At that time, a large number of Chinese medicines will be gathered in the wholesale market, including some of them of poor quality or moldy. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a spectral detection and grading system for root and rhizome Chinese medicine slices to provide a new technical solution to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above patent.

[0027] As described in the background section, the currently used Chinese medicine sorting devices can generally only distinguish the size of Chinese medicine. At that time, a large number of Chinese medicines will be gathered in the wholesale market, including some of them that are of poor quality or have become moldy.
[0028] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a spectral detection and grading system for root and rhizome-type Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0030] The conveying structure 2 includes a positioning frame 6 fixedly installed on the upper end of the machine body support frame 1, and a conveyor belt 7 is installed inside the positioning frame 6 for transmission.
[0031] The spectral detection and grading system for root and rhizome Chinese medicinal herbs provided by this utility model, through the setting of a visual sorting system 4 and a conveying structure 2, allows the Chinese medicinal herbs to be continuously transported after being placed at the top of the conveyor belt 7. At the same time, the spectral detector 20 can perform spectral detection on the Chinese medicinal herbs. If moldy herbs are found, the electric push rod 23 pushes the push plate 24 to quickly remove the herbs. In this way, the Chinese medicinal herbs can be accurately sorted.
[0032] 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.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] Please refer to Figures 2-4 A spectral detection and grading system for rhizome-type Chinese medicinal herbs includes a machine support frame 1, a conveying structure 2 at the upper end of the machine support frame 1, a material guiding structure 3 at the upper end of the conveying structure 2, a visual sorting system 4 at the upper end of the conveying structure 2, and storage boxes 5 arranged side by side at the bottom end of the conveying structure 2 on the side away from the material guiding structure 3.
[0035] The conveying structure 2 includes a positioning frame 6 fixedly installed on the upper end of the machine body support frame 1, and a conveyor belt 7 is installed inside the positioning frame 6 for transmission.
[0036] Specifically, the material guiding structure 3 includes uprights 10 symmetrically fixed on the upper end of the positioning frame 6, a crossbar 11 slidably connected to the middle of the uprights 10, and an inclined plate 12 fixedly connected to one end of the crossbars 11 that is close to each other. The inclined plate 12 is inclined on the top surface of the conveyor belt 7.
[0037] Specifically, the bottom surface of the conveying structure 2 is fixedly connected to a first fixed frame 8, the top center of the first fixed frame 8 is fixedly connected to a material storage box 9, the bottom end of the material storage box 9 is fixedly connected to a conveying cylinder 13, and the conveying cylinder 13 is connected to the material storage box 9.
[0038] Specifically, a shaft 14 is rotatably connected inside the conveying cylinder 13, a servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying cylinder 13, the rotating end of the servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the shaft 14, a rotating cylinder 17 is rotatably connected inside the conveying cylinder 13, the rotating cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the shaft 14, a storage trough 18 is formed in a ring array on the surface of the rotating cylinder 17, and a discharge port is formed on the bottom surface of the conveying cylinder 13.
[0039] With the above structural design, when the device is in use, the conveyor belt 7 and servo motor 15 are turned on, and the medicine is placed inside the material storage box 9. After the medicine is placed inside the material storage box 9, it falls into the gap of the storage tank 18. The servo motor 15 drives the shaft 14 to rotate the drum 17. At the same time, the medicine inside the storage tank 18 falls from the outlet of the conveyor cylinder 13 to the top surface of the conveyor belt 7. At the same time, the inclined plate 12 guides the medicine to be arranged in sequence and placed in the center of the conveyor belt 7. By repeating this process, the medicine can be conveyed sequentially and continuously.
[0040] Example 2:
[0041] The spectral detection and grading system for rhizome-based traditional Chinese medicine slices provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figures 2-5 As shown, a second fixing frame 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the positioning frame 6, and a spectrometer 20 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the second fixing frame 19.
[0042] Specifically, an electric push rod 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second fixed frame 19, and a push plate 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 23. The push plate 24 is in close contact with the top surface of the conveyor belt 7. A side support 21 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the conveying structure 2, and a diverter plate 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side support 21.
[0043] Through the above structural design, after the conveyor belt 7 transports the medicine to the bottom of the spectrometer 20, the spectrometer 20 continuously detects the medicine on the surface of the conveyor belt 7 and compares it with the data in the database. If moldy medicine is found, the electric push rod 23 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 23 extends and pushes the push plate 24 to slide on the surface of the conveyor belt 7. While the conveyor belt 7 is sliding, the moldy medicine is pushed to the side away from the center of the conveyor belt 7. Through the continuous transport of the conveyor belt 7, the Chinese medicine in different positions falls into different storage boxes 5, thus completing the sorting of medicine.
