[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0029] 1. A material breaking and classification component is provided. When the medicinal materials enter the material breaking tube, the knocking motor drives the knocking rod and the cam to rotate. The cam rotates and knocks the knocking plate. The knocking rod pushes the vibration plate to move around the rotating shaft. Under the elastic expansion and contraction of the vibration spring, the vibration plate vibrates continuously. The vibration plates are arranged crosswise at intervals. When the medicinal materials fall to the top of the vibration plate, the vibration plate bounces the medicinal materials, and the bounced medicinal materials collide with the inner wall of the material breaking tube. Under the action of the collision, the adhered Chinese medicine slices are separated, and the adhered Chinese medicine slices will not be separated in the subsequent sorting and detection. The connected Chinese medicine slices are removed together to avoid the waste of Chinese medicine slices. At the same time, the high-pressure gas is transported to the main air pipe through the external air pump. The high-pressure gas enters the vibrating plate and is ejected from the air jet hole. The ejected gas acts on the surface of the Chinese medicine slices to blow away the dust impurities adsorbed on the surface of the medicinal slices. The blower transports airflow to the dust exhaust pipe. According to the Bernoulli principle, the air pressure inside the dust exhaust pipe is lower than the air pressure inside the material breaking pipe. The blown dust impurities enter the dust exhaust pipe and are collected by the collection cabinet to improve the quality of the medicinal product.

[0030] At the same time, the high-pressure gas also flows through the branch pipe into the inside of the spray box and is sprayed out from the spray hole. The gases sprayed from the top and the bottom collide with each other, so that the high-pressure gas can act more fully on the surface of the medicinal materials to blow away the dust and impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials, further improving the quality of the medicinal materials, and can exert force on the medicinal materials, further ensuring that the adhered Chinese medicine slices can be separated smoothly. In the subsequent classification, it avoids the selection of good quality medicinal materials into poor quality medicinal materials, reducing cost losses;

[0031] During the transfer process, the electric telescopic push rod drives the swing plate and the toggle rod to swing back and forth. When the conveyor belt drives the medicinal materials on the top to move to the bottom of the toggle rod, the toggle rod separates the stacked medicinal materials. When the medicinal materials are detached from the top of the conveyor belt, the originally stacked medicinal materials will not fall into the sorting box at the same time due to separation. The industrial camera will not make misjudgments due to mutual obstruction between medicinal materials. The classification accuracy is higher, which further reduces cost losses. At the same time, by controlling the lifting electric push rod, the height of the toggle rod can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the medicinal materials to be processed, and the scope of application is wider.

[0032] 2. It is equipped with a sorting and impurity removal component. During classification and detection, the bidirectional screw is driven to rotate by controlling the adjustment motor. The distance between the industrial cameras on the mounting plates on both sides can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the medicinal materials, and then the viewing distance of the industrial camera can be adjusted, so that the industrial camera can take pictures of the medicinal materials more clearly and make identification more accurate;

[0033] After the medicinal materials fall into the inside of the discharge pipe, high-pressure gas is conveyed into the inside of the regulating air box through an external air pump. The high-pressure gas enters the inside of the regulating air box through the jet riser pipe. The air flow flows through the communication air holes and into the inside of the air distribution cylinder, and finally enters the inside of the rotating air pipe and sprays out from the top spray holes. The ejected high-pressure gas counteracts the falling medicinal materials. Among the medicinal materials, the debris with smaller mass has a slower falling speed under the impact of the air flow. Cooperating with the high-pressure gas ejected from the side spray hole plate position, the debris with smaller mass passes through the isolation hole plate and enters the inside of the impurity discharge pipe. Under the air separation effect, the debris with smaller mass is further removed, further improving the quality of the medicinal material products. At the same time, under the impact of the air flow, the rotating fan is driven, and then the air distribution cylinder and the rotating air pipe are driven to rotate. The telescopic electric push rod starts to drive the regulating air box to reciprocate inside the regulating sliding groove, making the action range of the air flow ejected from the top spray holes wider and making the classification and screening effect better;

[0034] At the same time, under the linkage effect of the linkage rod, the telescopic electric push rod can also drive the side spray hole plate to swing back and forth. The air flow ejected through the side spray hole plate is more uniform, enabling all the debris with smaller mass to enter the inside of the impurity discharge pipe, further improving the quality of the medicinal materials.

[0035] To sum up, in the material breaking and classification component, the medicinal materials collide with the vibrating plate and the material breaking pipe, shaking off the dust on the surface of the medicinal materials. The gas ejected from the spray holes and the gas ejected from the air spray holes counteract each other, blowing off the dust impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials. In the sorting and impurity discharge component, in cooperation with the blowing of the top spray holes, under the triple force action on the medicinal materials, the dust impurities remaining on the surface of the sliced medicinal materials are blown off, fully ensuring the quality of the produced medicinal materials.

Detailed implementation manners

[0053] The following describes the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for explaining and illustrating the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0054] Embodiment: As Figures 1-12 shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for an automatic classification and detection device for traditional Chinese medicine identification, including an assembly base 1. A material breaking and classification component 2 is arranged on the top of the assembly base 1. The material breaking and classification component 2 includes a sorting frame 201, a sorting hopper 202, a feeding hopper 203, a material breaking pipe 204, a communication port 205, a vibrating plate 206, a striking rod 207, a striking plate 208, a vibrating spring 209, an isolation cloth pipe 210, a knocking rod 211, a cam 212, a knocking motor 213, a jet airway 214, jet holes 215, a main air pipe 216, a vibrating corrugated hose 217, an opposed jet box 218, opposed jet holes 219, a branch pipe 220, a pleated cloth 221, a dust suction net 222, a dust discharge pipe 223, a blower 224, a collection cabinet 225, a conveyor belt 226, a lifting electric push rod 227, a swinging rail 228, a swinging plate 229, a toggling rod 230, a connecting ear 231, an electric telescopic push rod 232, a disassembly and assembly plate 233, and a swinging port 234.

[0055] At the top of the assembly base 1, a sorting frame 201 is installed. On both sides of the bottom of the sorting frame 201, sorting hoppers 202 are connected. On one side of the top of the sorting frame 201, a feed hopper 203 is installed. At the bottom of the feed hopper 203, a material-breaking pipe 204 is connected. On the top side and the bottom side of one side of the material-breaking pipe 204, communication ports 205 are evenly spaced. On both sides of the outside of the material-breaking pipe 204, vibrating plates 206 are evenly spaced and rotatably installed. The bottom end of the vibrating plate 206 passes through the adjacent communication port 205 and enters the inside of the sorting frame 201. Between the vibrating plates 206 on both sides of the sorting frame 201, they are arranged at intervals and crosswise. In the middle of the bottom surface of the vibrating plate 206, one end of a striking rod 207 is connected. The other end of the striking rod 207 is connected to a striking plate 208. At the bottom of the striking rod 207 on the bottom surface of the vibrating plate 206, one end of a vibrating spring 209 is connected. The other end of the vibrating spring 209 is connected to one side inside the material-breaking pipe 204. On both sides of the outside of the material-breaking pipe 204 and at the bottom of the vibrating plate 206, knocking rods 211 are rotatably installed. On the outside of the knocking rod 211, cams 212 are evenly spaced. On both sides of the outside of the material-breaking pipe 204 and at one end of the knocking rod 211, knocking motors 213 are installed. The output end of the knocking motor 213 is connected to one end of the adjacent knocking rod 211;

[0056] An air jet channel 214 is opened inside the vibrating plate 206. Air jet holes 215 are evenly opened at the top of the vibrating plate 206. In the middle of both sides of the outside of the material-breaking pipe 204, a main air pipe 216 is installed. Between the top of the bottom surface of the vibrating plate 206 and one side of the adjacent main air pipe 216, a vibrating corrugated hose 217 is connected. One end of the main air pipe 216 is in a closed state. The other end of the main air pipe 216 is connected to the air outlet end of an external air pump. Between the bottom of the vibrating plate 206 and the inner side of the material-breaking pipe 204 and outside the vibrating spring 209, an isolation cloth pipe 210 is connected. On both sides of the outside of the material-breaking pipe 204 and outside the communication port 205, pleated cloths 221 are installed. The vibrating plate 206, the striking rod 207, and the vibrating corrugated hose 217 all pass through the adjacent pleated cloth 221. When the medicinal materials pass through the inside of the material-breaking pipe 204, the isolation cloth pipe 210 can separate the medicinal materials from the vibrating spring 209, avoiding the medicinal materials being stuck inside the vibrating spring 209. The pleated cloth 221 can block the communication port 205, avoiding the medicinal materials flying out from the position of the communication port 205;

[0057] On both sides of the top inside the blanking pipe 204, spray boxes 218 are installed. The bottom surface of the spray boxes 218 is evenly provided with spray holes 219. One side of the spray boxes 218 is connected to the top of the main air pipe 216 through a branch pipe 220. The high-pressure gas ejected from the spray holes 219 can act on the surface of the medicinal materials inside the blanking pipe 204. Cooperating with the gas ejected from the air spray holes 215 at the bottom, the gas ejected from the top and the bottom collide with each other, enabling the high-pressure gas to fully act on the surface of the medicinal materials to blow off the dust and impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials. On one side of the bottom of the feed hopper 203, a dust suction net 222 is installed through an opening. A dust discharge pipe 223 is connected to the position corresponding to the dust suction net 222 on one side of the bottom of the feed hopper 203. A blower 224 is installed at one end of the outside of the feed hopper 203. The air exhaust end of the blower 224 is connected to one end of the dust discharge pipe 223. A collection cabinet 225 is installed at the other end of the outside of the feed hopper 203. The other end of the dust discharge pipe 223 is connected to the top of the collection cabinet 225. The blower 224 conveys air flow into the dust discharge pipe 223, and the air flow quickly passes through the inside of the dust discharge pipe 223. According to Bernoulli's principle, the air pressure inside the dust discharge pipe 223 is less than the air pressure inside the blanking pipe 204. The blown-up dust and impurities pass through the dust suction net 222 and enter the inside of the dust discharge pipe 223, and finally enter the inside of the collection cabinet 225 to collect the dust and impurities;

[0058] At the top of the sorting frame 201 and located at the bottom of the blanking pipe 204, a conveyor belt 226 is installed. On both sides of the top of the conveyor belt 226, lifting electric push rods 227 are installed. Between the output ends of the two lifting electric push rods 227, a swinging rail 228 is connected. A swinging plate 229 is slidably installed inside the swinging rail 228. The outer side of the swinging plate 229 and the inner side of the swinging rail 228 are both smooth planes, reducing the frictional resistance between the swinging plate 229 and the swinging rail 228. Both sides of the swinging plate 229 are in contact with both sides inside the swinging rail 228. Under the limiting action of the swinging rail 228, the swinging plate 229 can stably move inside the swinging rail 228. The bottom of the swinging plate 229 is connected to a disassembly and assembly plate 233 through a fixing screw. A swinging opening 234 is penetrated and opened at the bottom of the swinging rail 228. The bottom of the disassembly and assembly plate 233 is evenly connected with shifting rods 230. The bottom of the shifting rods 230 penetrates inside the swinging opening 234. In the middle of the top of the swinging plate 229, a connecting ear 231 is welded. An electric telescopic push rod 232 is installed at the top of the swinging rail 228. The output end of the electric telescopic push rod 232 is connected to one side of the connecting ear 231. Under the connecting action of the connecting ear 231, the electric telescopic push rod 232 can drive the swinging plate 228, the disassembly and assembly plate 233, and the shifting rods 230 to swing. The swinging of the shifting rods 230 can shift the medicinal materials on the top of the conveyor belt 226 to prevent the medicinal materials from stacking up;

[0063] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: First, the medicinal materials to be classified are conveyed into the interior of the feed hopper 203. The medicinal materials enter the interior of the material-breaking pipe 204 through the feed hopper 203. At this time, the knocking motor 213 and the blower 224 are started. The knocking motor 213 drives the knocking rod 211 and the cam 212 to rotate. The cam 212 rotates to knock the striking plate 208. Under the knocking action of the cam 212, the striking rod 207 pushes the vibrating plate 206 to move around the rotating shaft. Under the continuous knocking of the cam 212 and the elastic expansion and contraction of the vibrating spring 209, the vibrating plate 206 vibrates continuously. The vibrating plates 206 are arranged at intervals and crosswise. When the medicinal materials fall on the top of the vibrating plate 206, the vibrating plate 206 bounces the medicinal materials up. The bounced medicinal materials collide with the inner wall of the material-breaking pipe 204. Under the collision action, the adhered traditional Chinese medicine slices are separated. When the vibrating plate 206 vibrates, the isolation cloth pipe 210 can separate the medicinal materials from the vibrating spring 209, preventing the medicinal materials from getting stuck inside the vibrating spring 209. At the same time, the pleated cloth 221 can block the communication port 205, preventing the medicinal materials from flying out from the position of the communication port 205;

[0064] Meanwhile, an external air delivery pump conveys high-pressure gas into the interior of the main air pipe 216. The high-pressure gas then flows through the vibrating corrugated hose 217 and enters the air spray channel 214 inside the vibrating plate 206, and finally sprays out through the air spray holes 215. The sprayed gas acts on the surface of the traditional Chinese medicine slices, blowing off the dust and impurities adsorbed on the surface of the medicinal material slices. The blower 224 conveys air flow into the interior of the dust exhaust pipe 223. The air flow quickly passes through the interior of the dust exhaust pipe 223. According to Bernoulli's principle, the air pressure decreases where the air flow speed is fast. The air pressure inside the dust exhaust pipe 223 is less than the air pressure inside the material-breaking pipe 204. The blown-up dust and impurities pass through the dust suction net 222 and enter the interior of the dust exhaust pipe 223, and finally enter the interior of the collection cabinet 225 to collect the dust and impurities, improving the quality of the medicinal material products;

[0065] At the same time, the high-pressure gas flows through the branch pipe 220 and enters the interior of the counter-jet box 218, and then sprays out through the counter-jet holes 219. The gas sprayed from the top and the bottom collide with each other, enabling the high-pressure gas to act more fully on the surface of the medicinal materials to blow off the dust and impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials, further improving the quality of the medicinal materials produced. Moreover, the gas sprayed from the top and the bottom collides with each other, which can exert a force on the medicinal materials again, further ensuring that the adhered traditional Chinese medicine slices can be smoothly separated, avoiding high-quality medicinal materials from being sorted into low-quality medicinal materials in subsequent classification, and reducing cost losses;

[0066] After the medicinal materials are bounced up by the vibrating plate 206, the medicinal materials will fall through the gap between the vibrating plate 206 and the material-breaking pipe 204 onto the top of the bottom conveyor belt 226. The conveyor belt 226, the lifting electric push rod 227 and the electric telescopic push rod 232 are started. Under the connection of the connecting ear 231, the electric telescopic push rod 232 drives the swing plate 229 to swing back and forth inside the swing track 229, and then drives the toggle rod 230 to swing back and forth. When the conveyor belt 226 drives the medicinal materials on the top to move to the bottom of the toggle rod 230, the toggle rod 230 toggles the medicinal materials. Under the toggling action of the toggle rod 230, the stacked medicinal materials can be separated. When the medicinal materials are separated from the top of the conveyor belt 226, the originally stacked medicinal materials will not fall into the sorting box 201 at the same time due to separation. The industrial camera 306 will not cause misjudgment due to mutual occlusion between the medicinal materials, and the classification accuracy is higher, further reducing the cost loss. At the same time, the lifting electric push rod 227 can flexibly adjust the height of the toggle rod 230 according to the size of the medicinal materials to be processed, so that the toggle rod 230 can only toggle the stacked medicinal materials, and the applicable range is wider;

[0067] When the medicinal materials fall from the conveyor belt 226 into the sorting box 201, the industrial camera 306 takes pictures of the falling medicinal materials and feeds the captured data back to the controller in real time. Using visual recognition technology, the quality of the falling medicinal materials is judged according to the color of the captured medicinal materials. When a medicinal material slice of poor quality is detected, the corresponding spray hole of the electromagnetic jet valve 301 sprays air. Under the airflow jet, the medicinal material slice of corresponding poor quality is conveyed into the sorting hopper 202 at the top of the impurity collection pipe 307, then falls into the bottom impurity collection pipe 307, and finally is discharged from the bottom of the impurity collection pipe 307. The medicinal material slices of good quality fall into the discharge pipe 327. When the industrial camera 306 identifies, under the limiting and guiding action of the adjusting slide rod 302, by controlling the adjusting motor 304 to drive the bidirectional screw rod 303 to rotate, the two mounting plates 305 can be controlled to approach or move away from each other, and the distance between the industrial cameras 306 on the two mounting plates 305 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the medicinal materials, so as to adjust the viewing distance of the industrial camera 306, so that the industrial camera 306 can take pictures of the medicinal materials more clearly, making the recognition more accurate and the applicable range wide;

[0068] After the medicinal materials fall into the inside of the discharge pipe 327, the external air delivery pump conveys high-pressure gas into the inside of the regulating air box 315 through the telescopic corrugated hose 323. The high-pressure gas enters the inside of the regulating air box 315 through the air injection riser pipe 316. The air flow flows through the communication air holes 320 and enters the inside of the air distribution cylinder 319, and finally enters the inside of the rotating air pipe 321 and sprays out from the top spray holes 322. The sprayed high-pressure gas counteracts the falling medicinal materials. Among the medicinal materials, the debris with smaller mass has a slower falling speed under the impact of the air flow. At this time, the external air delivery pump conveys high-pressure gas into the inside of the air injection box 311 through the air delivery pipe 312. The high-pressure gas sprays out from the position of the side spray hole plate 313. The sprayed high-pressure gas acts on the falling medicinal materials. The debris with smaller mass is blown by the wind and passes through the isolation hole plate 310, enters the upper discharge port 328 and the impurity discharge pipe 309, and then enters the inside of the impurity collection pipe 307. Under the air separation effect, the medicinal materials with good quality are further classified and screened, and the debris with small mass is removed to further improve the quality of the medicinal material products. At the same time, under the impact of the air flow, the rotating fan 318 is driven, and then the air distribution cylinder 319 and the rotating air pipe 321 are driven to rotate. The telescopic electric push rod 326 is activated to drive the regulating air box 315 to reciprocate inside the regulating sliding groove 314, so that the action range of the air flow sprayed out from the top spray holes 322 is wider, and the classification and screening effect is better. At the same time, under the linkage effect of the linkage rod 325, the telescopic electric push rod 326 can also drive the side spray hole plate 313 to swing back and forth, and the air flow sprayed out through the side spray hole plate 313 is more uniform, so that the debris with small mass can enter the impurity discharge pipe 309, further improving the quality of the medicinal materials. At the same time, under the blowing action of the air flow, the air flow can blow off the dust and impurities remaining on the surface of the sliced medicinal materials, further improving the quality of the medicinal materials.
