The control unit adjusts the rotation speed of the servo motor through the frequency converter to achieve the adjustment of the stirring speed, and can intelligently adjust the stirring speed, which can more effectively disperse the active ingredients in the medicinal materials evenly in the liquid medicine.

[0031] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] As shown in Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, a stirring type intelligent traditional Chinese medicine decocting device proposed by the present invention includes a heating device 1. An upper part of the heating device 1 is provided with a decocting pot 2. The traditional Chinese medicine in the decocting pot 2 is decocted by heating with the heating device 1. An upper part of the decocting pot 2 is movably connected with a pot cover 3. An inner side of the decocting pot 2 is rotatably connected with a filter screen 14 to filter the medicinal liquid. A connection box 4 is installed on a side surface of the pot cover 3. A stirring mechanism is arranged on the connection box 4. The stirring mechanism includes a servo motor 5 installed inside the connection box 4, a first stirring shaft 6, a second stirring shaft 9 and a second gear 19 rotatably connected to the connection box 4. A plurality of stirring fan blades 7 are installed on an outer side of the first stirring shaft 6. A rotating wheel 12 is installed at an end of the second stirring shaft 9. When the servo motor 5 is started, the stirring fan blades 7 are driven by the first stirring shaft 6 to stir horizontally, and the rotating wheel 12 is driven by the second stirring shaft 9 to stir vertically. When the first stirring shaft 6 rotates, the filter screen 14 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction by the second gear 19, improving the stirring efficiency, ensuring the uniform mixing of traditional Chinese medicine, and helping the drug components to dissolve or precipitate more fully into the decocted medicinal liquid. A stirring speed control system is arranged on the decocting pot 2. The stirring speed control system includes:

[0044] A liquid medicine concentration monitoring module 21, which is used to monitor the liquid medicine concentration in real time through a concentration sensor to ensure that the liquid medicine concentration is within an appropriate range;

[0045] A data processing and analysis module 22, which is used to analyze the quantitative relationship between the stirring speed and the liquid medicine concentration, and generate specific control instructions through a PID control algorithm to provide decision support for a stirring speed control module 23;

[0046] A stirring speed control module 23, which is used to adjust the stirring speed according to the decision-making suggestions provided by the data processing and analysis module 22 to maintain the stability of the liquid medicine concentration.

[0047] The connection box 4 is installed on a side of the pot cover 3 close to the heating device 1. The size of the opening of the decocting pot 2 is adapted to the size of the connection box 4, so that the connection box can be tightly inserted into the decocting pot.

[0048] The first stirring shaft 6 is rotatably connected to a side of the connection box 4 close to the heating device 1. A fixed connection is established between an output end of the servo motor 5 and the first stirring shaft 6. A plurality of stirring fan blades 7 are arranged vertically and evenly along the first stirring shaft 6, and the horizontal stirring of the traditional Chinese medicine is realized by the rotation of the stirring fan blades.

[0049] Support rods 8 are symmetrically installed on a side of the connection box 4 close to the heating device 1. The number of the second stirring shafts 9 is multiple groups. Each group of the second stirring shafts 9 is rotatably connected to the support rods 8. A first bevel gear 10 is installed at an end of the second stirring shaft 9 close to the first stirring shaft 6. A plurality of second bevel gears 11 are installed on an outer side of the first stirring shaft 6. The second bevel gears 11 are meshed with the first bevel gear 10, and the rotation of the first stirring shaft drives the rotation of the second stirring shaft.

[0050] The rotating wheel 12 is installed at one end of the second stirring shaft 9 away from the first bevel gear 10. A plurality of stirring bars 13 are installed on the rotating wheel 12, and the liquid medicine is vertically stirred by the rotating wheel and the stirring bars.

[0051] A second rotating rod 17 rotates inside the connection box 4. A transmission belt 18 is sleeved between the output end of the servo motor 5 and the second rotating rod 17. One end of the second rotating rod 17 close to the heating device 1 is installed with a first rotating rod 16. A fixed connection is made between the end of the first rotating rod 16 away from the second rotating rod 17 and the second gear 19. A first gear 15 is installed on the outer side of the filter screen 14. The first gear 15 meshes with the second gear 19, so that the filter screen rotates to generate centrifugal force, which is beneficial to the progress of the stirring work.

[0052] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to stir and decoct the traditional Chinese medicine in the decocting pot 2, the servo motor 5 can be started at this time. The first stirring shaft 6 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 5. When the first stirring shaft 6 rotates, it drives a plurality of stirring fan blades 7 to horizontally stir the traditional Chinese medicine in the heating device 1. And because the second bevel gear 11 meshes with the first bevel gear 10, when the first stirring shaft 6 rotates, the second stirring shaft 9 can be driven to rotate through the second bevel gear 11 and the first bevel gear 10. When the second stirring shaft 9 rotates, it can drive the rotating wheel 12 to rotate. Then, the liquid medicine in the heating device 1 can be vertically stirred by the plurality of stirring bars 13 on the rotating wheel 12. At the same time, when the first stirring shaft 6 rotates, because a transmission belt 18 is sleeved between the first stirring shaft 6 and the second rotating rod 17, when the first stirring shaft 6 rotates, the second rotating rod 17 can be driven to rotate through the transmission belt 18, and the first rotating rod 16 is driven to rotate at the same time. Because the second gear 19 and the first gear 15 mesh with each other, when the first stirring shaft 6 drives the first rotating rod 16 to rotate, the filter screen 14 rotates in the reverse direction, generating a centrifugal force opposite to that of the stirring fan blades 7. In this way, through horizontal stirring, vertical stirring and generating centrifugal force on the traditional Chinese medicine through the filter screen 14, the stirring efficiency can be improved, the uniform mixing of the traditional Chinese medicine can be ensured, and it is helpful for the drug components to be more fully dissolved or precipitated into the decocted liquid. Especially for drugs containing components that are not easily dissolved or precipitated, stirring can significantly improve their decoction rate, thereby enhancing the curative effect of the drugs.

[0053] Embodiment 2

[0054] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, based on the first embodiment, the liquid medicine concentration monitoring module 21 includes a sensor acquisition unit, a signal processing unit, and a data communication unit. The sensor acquisition unit collects the concentration data of the active ingredients in the liquid medicine in real time through multiple concentration sensors. The multiple concentration sensors are evenly distributed in a circle on the inner side of the decocting pot 2. The signal processing unit converts the original signals collected by the sensor acquisition unit into digital signals and performs preliminary processing for subsequent module use. The data communication unit sends the processed liquid medicine concentration data to the data processing and analysis module 22.

[0055] The data processing and analysis module 22 includes a data storage unit, a data analysis unit, and a decision support unit. The data storage unit receives and stores the real-time concentration data provided by the liquid medicine concentration monitoring module 21. The data analysis unit explores the quantitative relationship between the stirring speed and the liquid medicine concentration by constructing a regression model. The decision support unit provides decision-making suggestions for the stirring speed control module 23, and the speed controlled by the stirring speed control module 23 can be obtained.

[0056] The formula of the regression model is expressed as: C = β0 + β1·V + ò, where C represents the liquid medicine concentration, V represents the stirring speed, beta_0 and beta_1 are regression coefficients, and epsilon is the error term;

[0057] The implementation steps of the decision support unit are as follows:

[0058] Strategy formulation: According to the analysis results, formulate rules to determine when to adjust the stirring speed and how much to adjust. When the liquid medicine concentration is lower than a certain threshold, increase the stirring speed; when the liquid medicine concentration is higher than another threshold, decrease the stirring speed. Use the genetic algorithm to find the optimal solution among multiple stirring speed settings to maximize the stability of the liquid medicine concentration or production efficiency;

[0059] The basic formula of the genetic algorithm is expressed as:

[0060] SGA = (M, E, Φ, Γ, Ψ, α, β)

[0061] Among them, M: represents the population size, E: represents the individual fitness evaluation function, which is used to evaluate the quality of each individual, Φ: represents the selection operator, which is used to select excellent individuals as parents from the current population according to the fitness value, Γ: represents the crossover operator, which is used to recombine the genes of two parent individuals to generate new individuals, Ψ: represents the mutation operator, which is used to randomly modify the genes of individuals to increase the diversity of the population, α, β: respectively represent the crossover and mutation probabilities;

[0062] Instruction generation: Generate specific control instructions or parameters according to the output of the PID control algorithm, such as the set value and adjustment amount of the stirring speed;

[0063] The basic formula of the PID controller is as follows:

[0064] u(t) = Kp * e(t) + Ki * ∫e(t)dt + Kd * de(t) / dt

[0065] Where, u(t) is the output control signal; e(t) is the deviation at the current moment, Kp is the proportional gain, Ki is the integral gain, Kd is the derivative gain, ∫e(t)dt is the integral term of the error, representing the cumulative effect of past errors, and de(t) / dt is the derivative term of the error;

[0066] Real-time monitoring: The liquid medicine concentration monitoring module 21 is used to monitor the changes in the liquid medicine concentration and the stirring speed in real time. According to the results of the real-time monitoring, the control instructions are adjusted in real time.

[0067] The stirring speed control module 23 includes an instruction receiving unit, a control algorithm execution unit, and a control unit. The instruction receiving unit receives the stirring speed adjustment instructions or parameters provided by the data processing and analysis module. The control algorithm execution unit executes the PID control algorithm according to the received stirring speed adjustment instructions or parameters to calculate the adjustment amount of the stirring speed. The control unit adjusts the rotation speed of the servo motor 5 through the frequency converter to achieve the adjustment of the stirring speed.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the heating device 1 is decocting traditional Chinese medicine in the decocting pot 2, the liquid medicine concentration monitoring module 21 can monitor the liquid medicine concentration in the decocting pot 2 in real time, and then transmit the concentration data to the data processing and analysis module 22. At this time, the data processing and analysis module 22 can store and analyze the concentration data of the liquid medicine concentration monitoring module 21 and provide decision-making suggestions. Then, the stirring speed control module 23 receives the instructions of the data processing and analysis module 22, calculates the stirring speed at this time, and then adjusts the rotation speed of the servo motor 5 to achieve the adjustment of the stirring speed. In this way, the stirring speed is intelligently adjusted according to the liquid medicine concentration, which can more effectively disperse the active ingredients in the medicinal materials evenly in the liquid medicine, avoiding uneven medicinal effects caused by too high or too low local concentration. During the decocting process, if the liquid medicine concentration is too high and the stirring is insufficient, it may cause local overheating or even boiling over of the liquid medicine, posing a safety hazard. By adjusting the stirring speed according to the liquid medicine concentration, this risk can be effectively reduced to ensure the safe progress of the decocting process.

[0069] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
