[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medicinal material processing, for example, to an infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine is a traditional medicine in my country. Chinese medicinal materials, Chinese herbal medicine slices and Chinese patent medicines are the three pillars of the Chinese medicine industry. At present, after the roots and rhizomes are harvested from the fields, they are usually sorted, dried, packaged, stored and transported. After these roots and rhizomes are transported to Chinese herbal medicine processing companies, they need to be unpacked, cleaned, moistened, sliced, and dried again. The production process of Chinese herbal medicine slices generally includes the selection of medicinal materials, washing, moistening, cutting, drying, and crushing. Since most medicinal materials are hard in texture, they need to be soaked and softened before cutting.

[0003] At present, in the process of lubricating Chinese medicinal materials during the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, workers are generally required to spray water on the Chinese medicinal materials with a handheld nozzle to moisten the medicine or directly soak the medicinal materials in water. Although the purpose of softening the medicinal materials can be achieved, the processing method is relatively simple and it is impossible to carry out targeted infiltration treatment of the medicinal materials according to the characteristics of the medicinal materials, resulting in low efficiency in the processing of the medicinal materials. In addition, the medicinal materials are easily broken or lose their medicinal properties during the processing, which reduces the processing effect and increases the cost.

[0004] Therefore, how to carry out targeted infiltration treatment on medicinal materials, improve treatment efficiency, enhance treatment effect and reduce costs has become a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by technical personnel in this field.

[0023] The infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used. By controlling the driving motor 306 to drive the hollow rotating shaft 304 to drive the second cylinder 200 to rotate in a corresponding rotational form according to the characteristic data information of the medicinal materials, and adopting the corresponding infiltration mode in a targeted manner to infiltrate and soften the medicinal materials in a coordinated manner, the treatment of the medicinal materials is more targeted and suitable for efficient infiltration and softening treatment of different medicinal materials, shortening the infiltration and softening time, improving the treatment efficiency, and enhancing the treatment effect on the medicinal materials, reducing the impact on the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials, while avoiding damage to the medicinal materials, reducing losses and saving costs.

[0024] It can be understood that the acquisition component 400 is an image recognition camera, which is a prior art and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0025] like Figure 3-5 As shown, optionally, the infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials further includes: an air pump 102. The air pump 102 is detachably arranged on the first cylinder 100 and is connected to the interior of the first cylinder 100, and is used to extract the gas inside the first cylinder 100 to form a vacuum environment. In this way, a more favorable environmental condition is provided for the infiltration and softening treatment of medicinal materials, and the treatment effect on the medicinal materials is further enhanced.

[0026] Optionally, the infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials further includes: an atomizer 308. The atomizer 308 is disposed on the water tank 301, and the atomizer 308 and the heater 302 are sequentially disposed along the flow direction of the water supply pipe 303. In this way, the atomizer 308 is used to atomize the water flow, so that the heater 302 can quickly heat the water flow to form water vapor, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the medicinal materials.

[0027] Optionally, the volume of the second barrel 200 is greater than or equal to one quarter of the volume of the first barrel 100, and less than or equal to two thirds of the volume of the first barrel 100. In this way, while ensuring that the second barrel 200 can stably rotate in the first barrel 100, the processing capacity of the medicinal materials is also guaranteed, and the situation that the medicinal materials in the second barrel 200 are soaked in the water in the first barrel 100 for a long time and cause the loss of medicinal properties can be avoided.

[0028] Optionally, the diameter of the hole on the side of the second cylinder 200 is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm. In this way, dust on the medicinal materials can be discharged from the second cylinder 200 under the action of the water flow, and the water flow will not affect the flushing of the medicinal materials in the second cylinder 200.

[0029] Optionally, the other end of the water supply pipe 303 is connected to one end of the hollow shaft 304 through the first bearing. In this way, the stability of the water supply is ensured, and the water supply pipe 303 is prevented from rotating with the hollow shaft 304 and causing equipment damage.

[0030] Optionally, part of the plurality of nozzles 305 is correspondingly arranged on the hollow shaft 304 in the first drum, and the rest is correspondingly arranged on the hollow shaft 304 in the second drum. In this way, it is convenient to control the water supply mode, and it is possible to drain water into the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200 at the same time, and to control the water supply into the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200 separately, so as to meet the diversified processing requirements of medicinal materials. For example, when it is necessary to perform a flushing infiltration treatment on the medicinal materials instead of a spraying infiltration treatment, and it is necessary to supply water into the first barrel 100, the nozzle 305 corresponding to the first drum can be controlled to be opened, and the nozzle 305 in the second drum can be controlled to be closed.

[0031] Optionally, a plurality of stirring rods 307 are evenly arranged on the portion of the hollow shaft 304 located in the second cylinder 200. In this way, the stirring rods 307 are used to stir and beat the medicinal materials, which helps the medicinal materials to better absorb water and complete the infiltration treatment of the medicinal materials, thereby improving the treatment efficiency and enhancing the treatment effect.

[0032] Optionally, a plurality of stirring rods 307 and a plurality of nozzles 305 are alternately arranged along the length direction of the hollow rotating shaft 304. In this way, it is ensured that the water supply to the second cylinder 200 and the stirring of the medicinal materials can be carried out in an orderly and stable manner, and the influence between the two is reduced.

[0033] Optionally, the stirring rod 307 is made of rubber material, so that the stirring rod 307 has good elasticity and avoids damaging the medicinal materials.

[0034] Optionally, the stirring rod 307 is a retractable structure. In this way, the length of the stirring rod 307 can be adjusted according to the amount of medicinal materials to ensure that the stirring rod 307 can stably stir and beat the medicinal materials, and the stirring rod 307 can be controlled to retract when stirring is not required, thereby diversifying the processing forms of the medicinal materials and meeting the diversified processing requirements of the medicinal materials.

[0035] Optionally, the infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials further includes: a timer 600. The timer 600 is arranged on the water supply structure and is used to record the infiltration time of the medicinal materials. Thus, by setting the timer 600 to record the infiltration time of the medicinal materials, it is convenient to grasp the infiltration and softening time of the medicinal materials, and the infiltration time of the medicinal materials can be more accurately controlled to ensure the quality of the infiltration and softening treatment of the medicinal materials.

[0036] like Figure 6-8As shown, optionally, the infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials further includes: a base 700. The base 700 is a U-shaped structure, and a medicine receiving groove 701 is provided at the bottom thereof, and the two opposite side walls thereof are arc-shaped concave grooves 702, and the two ends of the first cylinder 100 can be adapted to be correspondingly arranged in the concave grooves 702. In this way, by assembling the first cylinder 100 on the U-shaped base 700, the placement of the first cylinder 100 can be made more stable, thereby ensuring the stability of the infiltration and softening treatment of the medicinal materials.

[0037] Optionally, the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200 are independently controlled to rotate. In this way, by controlling the rotation form of the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200, the form of the infiltration treatment of the medicinal materials in the second barrel 200 is adjusted, which helps to complete the infiltration treatment of the medicinal materials more quickly and efficiently, and ensure the treatment quality of the medicinal materials.

[0038] Optionally, the hollow shaft 304 is connected to the first cylinder 100 through a second bearing, wherein the first cylinder 100 is disposed in the recessed groove 702 through a driving structure 103. In this way, the hollow shaft 304 can be prevented from driving the first cylinder 100 and the second cylinder 200 to rotate simultaneously, so that the first cylinder 100 and the second cylinder 200 can be independently controlled to rotate, so that the medicinal materials can be infiltrated in a targeted manner according to the characteristics of the medicinal materials, so that the infiltration treatment of the medicinal materials can be completed efficiently and quickly, and the treatment quality can be guaranteed.

[0039] It can be understood that the driving structure 103 is driven by a motor, and the driving of the hollow shaft 304 is also driven by a motor. The motor drive is a prior art, and its specific structure will not be repeated here.

[0040] In other embodiments, the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200 are optionally controlled to rotate synchronously. Preferably, the hollow shaft 304 is connected to both the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200. In this way, the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200 rotate synchronously, which can make the rotation more stable, and can orderly and stably perform the infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal materials inside, without damaging the medicinal materials and avoiding loss.

[0041] Optionally, a porous filter screen 703 is provided in the medicine receiving tank 701, and a weight sensor 704 is provided on the filter screen 703. In this way, after the medicinal materials are processed in the second cylinder 200, the medicinal materials and water can be discharged to the medicine receiving tank 701 by controlling the first electric hatch and the second electric hatch, and the filter screen 703 is used to complete the separation operation, and the medicinal materials after the infiltration and softening treatment are collected. The medicinal materials collection is more efficient and quick, and the weight sensor 704 is used to detect the weight of the medicinal materials in real time, which is convenient for judging the water content of the medicinal materials and the degree of infiltration and softening of the medicinal materials, so as to ensure the processing quality of the medicinal materials.

[0042] Optionally, the filter screen 703 is movably arranged in the medicine receiving groove 701 through a lifting structure 705, wherein L-shaped connecting plates 706 are arranged on opposite sides of the filter screen 703, and the lifting structure 705 is a cylinder, which is connected to the L-shaped connecting plate 706 and is used to drive the L-shaped connecting plate 706 to drive the filter screen 703 to perform lifting operations. In this way, the installation of the filter screen 703 is more flexible, which is convenient for separating the medicinal materials from water quickly and stably, and when the degree of infiltration of the medicinal materials does not meet the standard, the filter screen 703 can be controlled to move downward into the water to soak the medicinal materials, thereby ensuring the quality of the infiltration and softening treatment of the medicinal materials.

[0043] Optionally, a humidity sensor is provided on the medicine receiving slot 701, and the humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity data of the medicine after the infiltration treatment. In this way, according to the humidity data of the medicine after the infiltration treatment, the degree of infiltration and softening of the medicine can be accurately and quickly determined, thereby judging whether the infiltration treatment of the medicine is qualified, thereby ensuring the treatment quality.

[0044] Combination Figure 9-10 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for an infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials, which is used to control the infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials as described in any one of the above items, including: S01, obtaining characteristic data information of medicinal materials; S02, according to the characteristic data information of the medicinal material, controlling the driving motor to drive the hollow shaft to drive the second cylinder to rotate in a corresponding rotation form; S03, controlling the infiltration structure to operate one or more of a spray infiltration mode, a flushing infiltration mode and a steam infiltration mode to perform an infiltration and softening process on the medicinal material.

[0045] The control method of the infiltration and softening device for medicinal materials provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted. By controlling the driving motor to drive the hollow rotating shaft to drive the second cylinder to rotate in a corresponding rotation form according to the characteristic data information of the medicinal materials, and adopting the corresponding infiltration mode in a targeted manner, the medicinal materials are infiltrated and softened in a coordinated manner, so that the treatment of the medicinal materials is more targeted and suitable for efficient infiltration and softening treatment of different medicinal materials, the infiltration and softening time is shortened, the treatment efficiency is improved, and the treatment effect on the medicinal materials is enhanced, the influence on the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials is reduced, and at the same time, damage to the medicinal materials is avoided, losses are reduced, and costs are saved.

[0046] Optionally, the characteristic information includes one or more of hardness, fragility, cleanliness, size, and appearance. In this way, by determining the characteristic data information of the medicinal materials, the medicinal materials can be processed in a targeted manner, which can not only avoid the loss of medicinal properties, but also improve the safety of medicinal material processing. For example, when processing fragile medicinal materials, in order to avoid the medicinal materials from being crushed, the second cylinder can be controlled to always rotate forward or reverse at a uniform speed. Through smooth rotation, the protection of the medicinal materials can be improved. For medicinal materials that are not easy to be broken, in order to improve the processing efficiency and effect, the second cylinder can be controlled to alternate between forward and reverse directions and perform variable speed rotation.

[0047] Optionally, controlling the infiltration structure to operate one or more of the spray infiltration mode, the flushing infiltration mode, and the steam infiltration mode to perform infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal materials includes: controlling the driving structure to drive the first cylinder to rotate, and when the first inlet and outlet face downward, controlling the first cylinder to stop rotating, and controlling the first hatch to open; controlling the water delivery pump to start, and using the water sprayed from the nozzle to perform spray infiltration on the medicinal materials in the second cylinder. In this way, when the medicinal materials are sprayed by the nozzle, the water sprayed on the medicinal materials will not stay in the first cylinder, thereby avoiding the situation where the medicinal materials are soaked in water for a long time due to the large amount of water in the first cylinder, resulting in the loss of medicinal efficacy of the medicinal materials.

[0048] Optionally, controlling the infiltration structure to operate one or more of the spray infiltration mode, the flushing infiltration mode and the steam infiltration mode to perform infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal materials includes: determining the cleanliness of the medicinal materials, and in the case where there is dirt on the medicinal materials, controlling the infiltration structure to operate the spray infiltration mode. In this way, the water flow sprayed from the nozzle can be used to flush the medicinal materials, and the impurities on the medicinal materials can be effectively removed while the medicinal materials are infiltrated, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the medicinal materials and improving the quality of the medicinal materials.

[0049] Optionally, controlling the infiltration structure to operate one or more of the spray infiltration mode, the flushing infiltration mode, and the steam infiltration mode to perform infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal materials further includes: controlling the water delivery pump to start injecting water into the first cylinder, and detecting the change in water level, and when the water in the first cylinder enters the second cylinder and the amount of immersion of the medicinal materials is greater than or equal to one-third of the set amount, and less than or equal to two-thirds of the set amount, controlling the water delivery pump to stop injecting water. In this way, it can avoid the situation where the water in the first cylinder completely immerses the medicinal materials and affects the efficacy, and the rotating second cylinder can be used to drive the water to shake, so as to perform a flushing infiltration operation on the medicinal materials therein.

[0050] Optionally, controlling the infiltration structure to operate one or more of the spray infiltration mode, the flushing infiltration mode, and the steam infiltration mode to infiltrate and soften the medicinal materials further includes: controlling the atomizer and the heater to start, and using the nozzle to spray hot steam into the second cylinder to perform steam infiltration on the wet medicinal materials. In this way, the water is atomized by the atomizer, and then the water can be converted into water vapor by the heater, so that the medicinal materials are prevented from directly contacting the water. The steam infiltration can more safely and efficiently perform the infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal materials.

[0051] Optionally, controlling the atomizer and the heater to start, and using the nozzle to spray hot steam into the second cylinder, and steam-infiltrating the wet medicinal materials includes: controlling the heating temperature of the heater, wherein the heating temperature is 40-60° C. In this way, the heating temperature is within a reasonable range. If the heating temperature is too low, the thermal expansion effect cannot be achieved, and the softening effect is reduced, while if the temperature is too high, the medicinal materials are easily damaged or the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials are affected.

[0052] Optionally, controlling the infiltration structure to operate one or more of the spray infiltration mode, the flushing infiltration mode, and the steam infiltration mode to perform infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal materials also includes: controlling the water delivery pump to start injecting water into the first cylinder, and detecting the water level change, and when the water in the first cylinder enters the second cylinder, and the amount of immersion of the medicinal materials is greater than or equal to one-third of its set amount, and less than or equal to two-thirds of its set amount, controlling the water delivery pump to stop injecting water; controlling the atomizer and the heater to start, and using the nozzle to spray hot steam into the second cylinder to perform steam infiltration on the wet medicinal materials. In this way, the medicinal materials are infiltrated and softened by combining the flushing infiltration mode and the steam infiltration mode, and the medicinal materials are treated with hot steam and cold water at the same time, and the principle of thermal expansion and contraction is used to enable the medicinal materials to quickly absorb water and soften.

[0053] It is worth mentioning that the spray infiltration mode and the flushing infiltration mode can also be combined to carry out the infiltration and softening treatment of the medicinal materials, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In other embodiments, the first cylinder is controlled to rotate and the second cylinder is controlled to stop rotating to execute the flushing infiltration mode, or the second cylinder is controlled to rotate and the first cylinder is controlled to stop rotating to execute the flushing infiltration mode. In this way, controlling the rotation of one of the cylinders alone can make the flushing of the medicinal materials more stable, especially for fragile medicinal materials such as salvia miltiorrhiza, lithospermum officinale and gardenia, it can avoid damage to the medicinal materials while ensuring the infiltration and softening effect.

[0055] Optionally, after controlling the infiltration structure to run one or more of the spray infiltration mode, flushing infiltration mode and steam infiltration mode to perform infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal materials, it also includes: detecting the infiltration time of the medicinal materials; when the set time is exceeded, controlling the infiltration structure to adjust the infiltration mode, wherein the set time is greater than or equal to 6-8 minutes. In this way, by adjusting the infiltration mode, the infiltration and softening treatment of the medicinal materials can be completed quickly. For example, when the flushing infiltration mode is used alone for more than the set time, the steam infiltration mode is started at the same time. By combining the flushing infiltration mode and the steam infiltration mode, the infiltration treatment of the medicinal materials can be completed quickly, thereby improving the treatment efficiency.

[0056] Optionally, the rotation form includes one of forward or reverse uniform speed rotation, forward or reverse variable speed rotation, forward and reverse alternating uniform speed rotation, and forward and reverse alternating variable speed rotation. In this way, the rotation forms are diversified, which is convenient for reasonably and specifically selecting the corresponding rotation form according to the characteristics of the medicinal materials, so as to drive the water in the cylinder to shake and flush the medicinal materials, quickly and efficiently complete the infiltration and softening treatment of the medicinal materials, and avoid damage to the medicinal materials, reduce the loss of medicinal materials, and save costs.

[0057] Optionally, when the medicinal materials are fragile, the driving motor is controlled to drive the hollow shaft to drive the second cylinder to rotate forward or reverse at a uniform speed, or to rotate forward and reverse alternately at a uniform speed. In this way, the uniform rotation method is more stable, and while ensuring the treatment effect of soaking and softening, the force on the medicinal materials can be more constant, and violent activities will not occur, thereby avoiding damage to fragile medicinal materials, such as salvia miltiorrhiza, lithospermum officinale, and wolfberry. In addition, for the method of alternating forward and reverse uniform rotation, water flow can be used to buffer the medicinal materials, so that the medicinal materials are not easily damaged, ensuring the treatment quality of the medicinal materials.

[0058] Optionally, when the medicinal materials are not easy to break, the driving motor is controlled to drive the hollow rotating shaft to drive the second cylinder to perform forward or reverse speed-changing rotation, or to perform forward and reverse speed-changing rotation alternately. In this way, for medicinal materials with high hardness and not easy to break, such as Dendrobium officinale, antlers and angelica, the variable speed rotation method can make the medicinal materials move violently, so that they are easier to be infiltrated and softened, thereby ensuring the treatment effect of the medicinal materials.

[0059] It is worth noting that, for medicinal materials that are larger in size and harder to be soaked, forward or reverse speed-changing rotation as well as forward and reverse speed-changing rotation alternatingly can also be adopted, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] Optionally, after controlling the infiltration structure to run one or more of the spray infiltration mode, the flushing infiltration mode and the steam infiltration mode to perform infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal material, the following steps are included: S04, obtaining the initial weight information of the medicinal material and the weight information of the medicinal material after the infiltration and softening treatment; S05, determining the infiltration degree of the medicinal material according to the initial weight information of the medicinal material and the weight information of the medicinal material after the infiltration and softening treatment. In this way, the infiltration degree of the medicinal material can be accurately and quickly determined, avoiding the situation where the subsequent treatment is affected by insufficient infiltration of the medicinal material, and ensuring the quality of the infiltration and softening of the medicinal material.

[0061] Optionally, according to the initial weight information of the medicinal material and the weight information of the medicinal material after the soaking and softening treatment, determining the soaking degree of the medicinal material includes: calculating the difference between the weight of the medicinal material after the soaking and softening treatment and the initial weight of the medicinal material to determine the weight increase of the medicinal material; calculating the percentage of the weight increase of the medicinal material to its initial weight, and when the percentage of the weight increase of the medicinal material to its initial weight is greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 40%, determining that the soaking degree of the medicinal material reaches the target soaking degree requirement. In this way, the soaking degree of the medicinal material can be determined quickly and simply by calculation, and the soaking degree of the medicinal material is within a reasonable range.

[0062] Optionally, after determining the infiltration degree of the medicinal materials according to the initial weight information of the medicinal materials and the weight information of the medicinal materials after the infiltration and softening treatment, it also includes: when the infiltration degree of the medicinal materials does not reach the target degree, controlling the lifting structure to drive the filter screen to move downward into the soaking water in the medicine receiving tank; obtaining the soaking time of the medicinal materials in the soaking water; when the soaking time is greater than or equal to 4 minutes and less than or equal to 6 minutes, controlling the lifting structure to drive the filter screen to move upward out of the soaking water. In this way, soaking the medicinal materials with soaking water avoids the need for subsequent treatment after taking out the medicinal materials, making the treatment of the medicinal materials more efficient, and because the medicinal materials have been preliminarily infiltrated in the cylinder, they only need to be soaked for a short time, avoiding the loss of medicinal properties of the medicinal materials due to long-term soaking.

[0063] In other embodiments, optionally, after the infiltration structure is controlled to run one or more of the spray infiltration mode, the flushing infiltration mode and the steam infiltration mode to perform infiltration and softening treatment on the medicinal material, the process includes: obtaining the initial humidity information of the medicinal material and the humidity information of the medicinal material after the infiltration and softening treatment; determining the infiltration degree of the medicinal material according to the initial humidity information of the medicinal material and the humidity information of the medicinal material after the infiltration and softening treatment. In this way, according to the initial humidity information of the medicinal material and the humidity information of the medicinal material after the infiltration and softening treatment, the infiltration and softening degree of the medicinal material can be accurately and quickly determined, thereby judging whether the infiltration treatment of the medicinal material is qualified, thereby ensuring the treatment quality.

[0064] Optionally, determining the infiltration degree of the medicinal material according to the initial humidity information of the medicinal material and the humidity information of the medicinal material after the infiltration and softening treatment includes: when the relative humidity of the medicinal material after the infiltration and softening treatment is greater than or equal to 50% and less than or equal to 60%, determining that the infiltration degree of the medicinal material reaches the target infiltration degree requirement. In this way, it is more reasonable to determine that the infiltration of the medicinal material is qualified when the relative humidity is between 50% and 60%, thereby ensuring the infiltration quality of the medicinal material and facilitating the subsequent treatment of the medicinal material.

[0065] In other specific embodiments, the cleanliness information of the medicinal materials is obtained; when there is dirt on the medicinal materials, the first electric hatch is controlled to open, and the infiltration structure is controlled to run the spray infiltration mode; after the medicinal materials are cleaned, the first electric hatch is controlled to close, and the amount of medicinal materials immersed in the water in the first cylinder is detected. When the amount of medicinal materials immersed is greater than or equal to two-thirds of the total amount of medicinal materials and less than or equal to the total amount of medicinal materials, the nozzle is controlled to close, and the infiltration structure is controlled to run the flushing infiltration mode; after the flushing infiltration mode is set for a time, the infiltration structure is controlled to run the steam infiltration mode, wherein the set time is greater than or equal to 6 minutes and less than or equal to 10 minutes, or the floating condition of the medicinal materials in the water is detected, and when there are medicinal materials that are not floating, the infiltration structure is controlled to run the steam infiltration mode; when all the medicinal materials are in a floating state, the first electric hatch and the second electric hatch are controlled to open, and the material discharge operation is performed. In this way, the infiltration operation of the medicinal materials is completed in a reasonable and orderly manner, and the infiltration quality of the medicinal materials is guaranteed.
