Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of processing and packaging of traditional Chinese medicine sheets, and particularly to a precise distribution, processing, and packaging method for various types of traditional Chinese medicine sheets. Background Art
[0002] The technology for processing and packaging traditional Chinese medicine sheets is an important link in the modernization development of traditional Chinese medicine, playing a key role in improving the standardization level of traditional Chinese medicine and ensuring medication safety. With the continuous growth of people's health needs, the precise distribution and packaging technology of traditional Chinese medicine sheets has gradually become the focus of the industry. This technology can not only improve the quality control level of traditional Chinese medicine but also effectively reduce the uncertainties brought by manual operations, thus better meeting the needs of the modern pharmaceutical market. In practical applications, in order to achieve the processing and packaging of traditional Chinese medicine sheets, the following several conventional means are usually adopted: First, the Chinese medicinal materials are sliced, but the slicing method is relatively single and often cannot adapt to the characteristics of different types of Chinese medicinal materials; Second, the sliced Chinese medicinal materials are initially packed, but due to the lack of an effective weight control mechanism, there are significant differences in the weight specifications of each pack of Chinese medicinal materials; Third, in the cooling and vibration treatment links, only basic operations are usually carried out, without fully considering the physical characteristics and stability requirements of Chinese medicinal materials; Finally, in the distribution and packaging stage, classification and sorting are mostly completed by manual or semi-automatic equipment, with low efficiency and prone to errors.
[0003] However, there is a significant defect in the above-mentioned conventional means in practical applications: Due to the lack of refined management of the slicing thickness of Chinese medicinal materials, the packing weight specifications, and the cooling and vibration treatment, the component ratios of the traditional Chinese medicine formula packs are ultimately difficult to accurately match the actual requirements of traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, affecting the stability and consistency of the medicinal effects. This has become the main bottleneck restricting the further development of the technology for processing and packaging traditional Chinese medicine sheets. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Description of the Reference Numerals: Detailed Description of the Embodiment The following further Figures 1 - 5 describes this application in detail.
[0024] The embodiment of this application discloses a precise distribution, processing and packaging method for various types of traditional Chinese medicine tablets.
[0025] Referring to Figure 1 , a precise distribution, processing and packaging method for various types of traditional Chinese medicine tablets includes S1: Slicing different types of strip-shaped and / or block-shaped traditional Chinese medicinal materials respectively to form sheet-shaped traditional Chinese medicinal materials with consistent thickness; In S1, it includes: S1-1: Debunk the heads and cut the tails of strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials; after debunking the heads and cutting the tails of strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials in S1-1, it is also necessary to crush and collect the head and tail edge materials of different types of Chinese medicinal materials separately and bag them respectively; specifically, in this embodiment, it includes: Raw material pretreatment: Place different types of Chinese medicinal materials by variety, and use an optical recognition system to automatically identify the head and tail parts of the medicinal materials.
[0026] Automated cutting: Use numerically controlled cutting equipment to accurately cut off the head and tail of the medicinal materials, and the cutting length is controlled within 3-5% of the total length of the medicinal materials (adjusted according to the characteristics of the medicinal materials).
[0027] Edge material treatment: Send the cut head and tail parts to a crusher through a conveyor belt, control the crushing particle size within 20-40 mesh, and collect and bag the crushed materials of different medicinal materials separately through an automatic sorting system.
[0028] In this embodiment, compared with traditional manual cutting, the cutting accuracy of numerical control is increased by more than 50%, and the use of an automatic sorting system realizes 100% classification collection of crushed materials of different medicinal materials, so that the utilization rate of edge materials is increased to more than 95%.
[0029] S1-2: Perform circumferential cutting on the periphery of the body of the remaining strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials; after performing circumferential cutting on the periphery of the body of strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials in S1-2, it is also necessary to cut the circumferential edge materials of different types of Chinese medicinal materials into strips and collect and bag them separately. The cutting of strips requires weight control of the same strip-shaped Chinese medicinal materials to ensure that each strip-shaped Chinese medicinal material has the same weight, and at the same time define the unit weight.
[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, it includes: Circumferential cutting treatment: Use a multi-axis linkage circumferential cutting machine to perform peripheral treatment on the medicinal materials, and control the cutting depth within 5-8% of the diameter of the medicinal materials.
[0031] Edge material treatment: The edge materials generated by circumferential cutting are collected through a special channel, and an automatic strip cutting machine is used to cut the edge materials into strips with a width of 3-5 mm, and a precision weighing system is used to ensure that the weight error of each strip is ≤±0.5 g.
[0032] Standardization treatment: Immediately perform vacuum packaging after strip cutting, and the packaging specifications are standardized and packed in bags of 50 g / bag.
[0033] In this embodiment, mechanical equipment is used as the circumferential cutting means, and the circumferential cutting accuracy reaches ±0.1 mm, which is precise compared with the traditional process. The automatic weighing system ensures the consistency of unit weight, and the utilization rate of edge materials is increased to more than 90%.
[0034] S1-3: Slice the remaining strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials to form sheet-shaped Chinese medicinal materials with a uniform thickness. The slicing process in S1-3 is a bending slicing process for strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials, so that the sheet-shaped Chinese medicinal materials after slicing have a convex surface and a concave surface.
[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, it includes: Pre-slicing treatment: Set the slicing thickness according to the characteristics of different medicinal materials (usually 1-3 mm), and adjust the arc of the cutting tool (R15-R30) to adapt to different medicinal materials.
[0036] Bending slicing treatment: Use a servo-driven arc cutting tool for slicing, control the slicing speed at 30-50 slices per minute, monitor the slicing thickness in real time, and automatically compensate for tool wear.
[0037] Finished product treatment: Automatically sort after slicing, remove unqualified products, and send the qualified sheets to the temporary storage area through a conveyor belt.
[0038] In this embodiment, the degree of full-process automation can reach more than 90%. Moreover, the utilization rate of medicinal materials is increased from the traditional 60% to 92%, the processing accuracy is increased by 5-10 times, and the energy consumption is reduced by 30%.
[0039] S2: Package different types of sheet-shaped Chinese medicinal materials separately, so that the same type of Chinese medicinal materials form bagged Chinese medicinal material packages with the same weight specifications; S2 includes: S2-1: Dry and keep warm the sheet-shaped Chinese medicinal materials; Put the sliced sheet-shaped Chinese medicinal materials into a drying device, and use low-temperature drying technology (temperature controlled at 40-50 °C) to avoid damage to the effective components of the medicinal materials caused by high temperature; The drying time is adjusted according to the types of medicinal materials and the moisture content, usually 2-4 hours, and the actual situation is adjusted according to different types of medicinal materials to ensure that the moisture content of the medicinal materials is reduced to 8%-12%. The dried medicinal materials are immediately transferred to an incubator, and the temperature is controlled at 25-30 °C to avoid moisture absorption or deterioration of the medicinal materials due to excessive temperature difference. At the same time, the insulation time is about 30-60 minutes, and the actual situation is adjusted according to different types of medicinal materials to ensure uniform internal temperature of the medicinal materials. Compared with traditional high-temperature drying, this operation can better retain the effective components of the medicinal materials and avoid loss of medicinal effects by low-temperature drying. Through the heat preservation treatment, the problem of moisture absorption of the medicinal materials caused by temperature difference after drying is avoided, and the stability of the medicinal materials is improved.
[0040] S2-2: Perform vibration screening on the flaked Chinese medicinal materials, and divide them into piles according to the same weight specifications; put the dried and insulated flaked Chinese medicinal materials into the vibration screening machine, and screen them through multi-stage screens to remove debris and medicinal materials that do not meet the specifications. The vibration frequency is controlled at 50-60 times / minute, and the screening time is about 10-15 minutes. Afterwards, use an automated weighing system to divide the screened flaked Chinese medicinal materials into piles according to preset weight specifications (such as 10g, 15g, etc.). The weight error of each pile of medicinal materials is controlled within ±1% to ensure the weight consistency of each package of medicinal materials. Through vibration screening, debris and medicinal materials that do not meet the specifications are effectively removed, which improves the purity of the medicinal materials. Compared with traditional manual weighing, the automated weighing system significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of pile division and reduces human errors. S2-3: Vacuum-pack the flaky Chinese medicinal materials to form a standard weight package of the medicinal material package; put the flaky Chinese medicinal materials after stacking into a vacuum packaging machine, and evacuate to -0.08~-0.1MPa to ensure that there is no air residue in the package. Use high-barrier packaging materials (such as aluminum foil composite film) to ensure that the medicinal materials are not damp or oxidized during storage. In addition, heat sealing is performed under vacuum, and the sealing temperature is controlled at 150-180°C to ensure the sealing strength. Cooling is performed immediately after sealing to avoid deformation of the heat-sealed parts due to high temperature. In this embodiment, compared with traditional ordinary packaging, vacuum packaging can effectively isolate air and moisture and extend the shelf life of medicinal materials. The use of high-barrier packaging materials further improves the moisture-proof and antioxidant properties of medicinal materials, ensuring the stable quality of medicinal materials during storage and transportation.
[0041] S3: Cooling and shaking the bagged Chinese medicinal materials; S3 includes: S3-1: Cooling the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package that has been insulated, the cooling process includes pre-cooling, main cooling and final cooling; wherein, the temperature of the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is initially reduced by pre-cooling to reduce the load of subsequent cooling, the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is placed in the pre-cooling room, and is initially cooled by natural convection or low-power fans, and the temperature of the pre-cooling room is controlled at 15-20°C for about 10-15 minutes; then the main cooling is used to further reduce the temperature of the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package to ensure the stability and The shelf life is improved by transferring the pre-cooled bagged Chinese medicinal materials to the main cooling room, and using a forced cold air circulation system for rapid cooling. The temperature of the main cooling room is controlled at 5-10°C for about 20-30 minutes; and, through final cooling, the bagged Chinese medicinal materials reach the final storage temperature to ensure the long-term stability of the medicinal materials. The bagged Chinese medicinal materials after main cooling are transferred to the final cooling room, and a low-temperature cold air circulation system is used for final cooling. The temperature of the final cooling room is controlled at 0-5°C for about 15-20 minutes.
[0042] Compared with the traditional single cooling method, multi-stage cooling (pre-cooling, main cooling, final cooling) can reduce the temperature of medicinal materials more evenly and stably, avoiding the deterioration of medicinal materials caused by excessive temperature difference. By controlling the temperature and time of each cooling stage, it is ensured that the medicinal materials are not affected by thermal stress during the cooling process and maintain their physical and chemical stability.
[0043] S3-2: Perform a shaking treatment on the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages that have been cooled. The shaking treatment includes preliminary shaking, main shaking, and final shaking; among them, the preliminary shaking evenly distributes the medicinal materials in the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages by slight shaking to avoid caking. Mainly place the cooled bagged Chinese medicinal material packages on a shaker and perform low-speed shaking with a shaking frequency of 30-40 times per minute and a time of 5-10 minutes; then, the main shaking further evenly distributes the medicinal materials to ensure that the weight specifications of each bag of Chinese medicinal materials are consistent. Transfer the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages after preliminary shaking to the main shaker and perform medium-speed shaking with a shaking frequency of 50-60 times per minute and a time of 10-15 minutes; finally, the final shaking ensures that the medicinal materials in the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages are completely evenly distributed to achieve the best packaging effect. Transfer the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages after main shaking to the final shaker and perform high-speed shaking with a shaking frequency of 70-80 times per minute and a time of 5-10 minutes.
[0044] Compared with the traditional single shaking method, multi-stage shaking (preliminary shaking, main shaking, final shaking) can more effectively evenly distribute the medicinal materials, avoiding problems such as caking and uneven distribution. By optimizing the shaking frequency and time, it is ensured that the medicinal materials are evenly distributed in the package, while avoiding damage to the medicinal materials caused by excessive shaking.
[0045] S3-3: Perform quality inspection on the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages that have been shaken.
[0046] In this embodiment, the quality inspection includes temperature detection, which can ensure that the temperature of the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages meets the storage requirements. Use an infrared thermometer to detect the temperature of the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages, and the temperature should be controlled within the range of 0-5°C; It also includes weight detection, which can ensure that the weight specifications of each bag of Chinese medicinal material packages are consistent. Use an electronic scale to detect the weight of the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages, and the weight error should be controlled within the range of ±1%.
[0047] It also includes appearance detection, which can ensure that the appearance of the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages is intact and free of caking. Use a visual inspection system to detect the appearance of the bagged Chinese medicinal material packages, and the appearance should be intact and free of caking, and the medicinal materials are evenly distributed.
[0048] Compared with the traditional single detection method, the present application conducts comprehensive detection of temperature, weight, and appearance to ensure that the quality of each bag of traditional Chinese medicine packets meets the standards. By using an infrared thermometer, an electronic scale, and a vision detection system, the automation of quality detection is achieved, improving the detection efficiency and accuracy.
[0049] S4: Distribute and pack traditional Chinese medicine packets of different types, so that traditional Chinese medicine packets of different types form traditional Chinese medicine formula packets with different weight specifications for different types of traditional Chinese medicines according to the traditional Chinese medicine decoction formula.
[0050] S4 includes: S4-1: Classify and distribute traditional Chinese medicine packets of different types; Specifically, in this embodiment, the traditional Chinese medicine decoction formula needs to be input into the automatic sorting system; the system analyzes the unit dosage and decocting sequence (decoct first, decoct later, normal decocting, decoct in a package) of each bag of traditional Chinese medicine packets; generates a sorting task list to clarify the sorting area of each bag of traditional Chinese medicine packets.
[0051] Scan each bag of traditional Chinese medicine packets through barcode or RFID technology to confirm its type and unit dosage; according to the decocting sequence, distribute the bags of traditional Chinese medicine packets to different sorting areas: Medicines to be decocted first → Area for medicines to be decocted first; Medicines to be decocted later → Area for medicines to be decocted later; Medicines for normal decocting → Area for medicines for normal decocting; Medicines to be decocted in a package → Area for medicines to be decocted in a package. If it is found that the type or unit dosage of the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packets does not match, the system will automatically alarm and pause sorting, waiting for manual intervention.
[0052] Attach corresponding color labels or numbers to the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packets in each area. In this embodiment, red labels are for medicines to be decocted first; green labels are for medicines to be decocted later; blue labels are for medicines for normal decocting; yellow labels are for medicines to be decocted in a package. Of course, in other embodiments, the color is not used to limit the specific content of its label identification.
[0053] S4-2: Arrange and design the packaging sequence for traditional Chinese medicine packets of different types; Specifically, in this embodiment, determine the arrangement order of the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packets: In this embodiment, the outer layer packaging is for medicines to be decocted first; the middle layer packaging is for medicines for normal decocting; the inner layer packaging is for medicines to be decocted later; the independent small packets are for medicines to be decocted in a package. In the embodiment, this packaging method is a specific one that defines its packaging method. Ensure that the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packets are arranged according to the decocting sequence, which is convenient for users to disassemble and assemble in order.
[0054] Subsequently, design a layered packaging structure to ensure that the order of each layer of medicinal materials is clear.
[0055] In this embodiment, there are at least four layers of packaging. Outer layer packaging: Put the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packages of "medicinal materials to be decocted first" into the outer packaging bag, and mark "Step 1: Medicinal materials to be decocted first" on the outer packaging bag.

The sequential arrangement of the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packages is achieved through hierarchical packaging.
[0056] S4-3: Automatically pack the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packages arranged in a certain order. Specifically, in this embodiment, the sorted and arranged bagged traditional Chinese medicine packages are automatically packed in sequence and hierarchically.

[0057] And mark clear decocting steps and instructions on the final packaging. Written instructions are required. Print the decocting steps instructions on the outer packaging (such as "Step 1: Open the outer packaging and decoct the medicinal materials first", "Step 2: Open the middle packaging and add ordinary medicinal materials", etc.). Secondly, use color labels to distinguish the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packages with different decocting sequences (such as red for medicinal materials to be decocted first and green for medicinal materials to be decocted later), and print diagrams on the outer packaging to show the disassembly and decocting sequences.
[0058] S4-4: Conduct quality inspection and establish an error prevention mechanism for the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packages that have been automatically packed. First, adopt sequential inspection to ensure that the arrangement order of the bagged traditional Chinese medicine packages is consistent with the formula requirements.
