[0044] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 This application is described in further detail.
[0045] The embodiments of the present application disclose a method for accurately distributing, processing and packaging various types of traditional Chinese medicine sheets.
[0046] Reference Figure 1 A method for accurately distributing, processing and packaging various types of Chinese medicine tablets, including
[0047] S1: Slicing different types of strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials into slices of uniform thickness;
[0048] S1 includes:
[0049] S1-1: Trimming the ends of the strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials; After trimming the ends of the strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials in S1-1, the ends and edges of the different types of Chinese medicinal materials need to be crushed separately and collected and bagged separately; specifically, in this embodiment, it includes:
[0050] Raw material pretreatment: Different types of Chinese medicinal materials are classified and placed according to their varieties, and an optical recognition system is used to automatically identify the head and tail parts of the medicinal materials.
[0051] Automated cutting: CNC cutting equipment is used to accurately cut off the head and tail of the medicinal materials, and the cutting length is controlled at 3-5% of the total length of the medicinal materials (adjusted according to the characteristics of the medicinal materials).
[0052] Edge material processing: The cut head and tail parts are sent to the crusher through a conveyor belt, and the crushing particle size is controlled at 20-40 mesh. The crushed materials of different medicinal materials are collected and bagged separately through an automatic sorting system.
[0053] In this embodiment, compared with traditional manual cutting, the CNC cutting accuracy is improved by more than 50%, and the automatic sorting system is used to achieve 100% classified collection of different medicinal material crushed materials, so that the utilization rate of its edge materials is increased to more than 95%.
[0054] S1-2: Perform circumferential cutting on the remaining strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials; After the circumferential cutting on the strip-shaped and / or block-shaped Chinese medicinal materials in S1-2, it is necessary to cut the edge materials of different types of Chinese medicinal materials into strips and collect and bag them separately. The weight of the same strip-shaped Chinese medicinal materials needs to be controlled during the cutting process to keep each strip of Chinese medicinal materials of the same weight, and the unit weight is defined at the same time.
[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, it includes:
[0056] Circumferential cutting: Use a multi-axis linkage circular cutting machine to perform peripheral processing on the medicinal materials, and the cutting depth is controlled at 5-8% of the diameter of the medicinal materials.
[0057] Edge material processing: the edge material generated by the ring cutting is collected through a special channel, and an automatic slitting machine is used to cut the edge material into strips with a width of 3-5 mm. A precision weighing system is used to ensure that the weight error of each strip is ≤±0.5 g.
[0058] Standardization processing: immediately after slitting, vacuum packaging is performed, and the packaging specifications are standardized and packaged at 50 g / bag.
[0059] In this embodiment, a mechanical device is used as a ring cutting means, and the ring cutting precision is ±0.1 mm, which is more accurate than traditional processes. An automatic weighing system ensures unit weight consistency, and the utilization rate of edge material is increased to more than 90%.
[0060] S1-3: slice processing is performed on the remaining strip-shaped and / or block-shaped traditional Chinese medicinal materials to form slice-shaped traditional Chinese medicinal materials with consistent thickness. The slice processing in S1-3 is bending and cutting type slice processing on the strip-shaped and / or block-shaped traditional Chinese medicinal materials, so that the slice-shaped traditional Chinese medicinal materials after slicing have convex surfaces and concave surfaces.
[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, it includes:
[0062] Pre-slicing processing: set the slice thickness (usually 1-3 mm) according to the characteristics of different medicinal materials, and adjust the tool curvature (R15-R30) to adapt to different medicinal materials.
[0063] Bending and cutting processing: use a servo-driven arc-shaped knife to slice, the slicing speed is controlled at 30-50 pieces / minute, the slice thickness is monitored in real time, and the tool wear is automatically compensated.
[0064] Finished product processing: after slicing, automatically sort out unqualified products, and qualified slices are sent to the temporary storage area through the conveyor belt.
[0065] In this embodiment, the degree of automation of the whole process can reach more than 90%, and the utilization rate of medicinal materials is increased from 60% in the traditional process to 92%. The processing precision is increased by 5-10 times, and the energy consumption is reduced by 30%.
[0066] S2: different types of slice-shaped traditional Chinese medicinal materials are packaged respectively, and different types of traditional Chinese medicinal materials are formed into bagged traditional Chinese medicinal material packages with consistent weight specifications;
[0067] S2 includes:
[0068] S2-1: Dry and keep warm the sliced traditional Chinese medicinal materials; put the sliced traditional Chinese medicinal materials into a drying equipment, use low-temperature drying technology (temperature control at 40-50°C) to avoid damage to the effective components of the medicinal materials by high temperature; adjust the drying time according to the type and water content of the medicinal materials, usually 2-4 hours, and adjust according to the actual situation of different types of medicinal materials to ensure that the water content of the medicinal materials is reduced to 8%-12%. Immediately after drying, the medicinal materials are transferred to a heat preservation box, and the temperature is controlled at 25-30°C to avoid moisture absorption or deterioration of the medicinal materials due to large temperature difference. At the same time, the heat preservation 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, low-temperature drying can better preserve the effective components of the medicinal materials and avoid loss of medicinal effect. Through heat preservation treatment, the problem of moisture absorption of the medicinal materials due to temperature difference after drying is avoided, and the stability of the medicinal materials is improved.
[0069] S2-2: Perform shock screening treatment on the sliced traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and stack the sliced traditional Chinese medicinal materials according to the same weight specification; put the dried and heat preserved sliced traditional Chinese medicinal materials into a shock screening machine, screen them through multiple screens to remove debris and medicinal materials that do not meet the specifications. The shock frequency is controlled at 50-60 times / minute, and the screening time is about 10-15 minutes. Then, an automatic weighing system is used to stack the screened sliced traditional Chinese medicinal materials according to the preset weight specifications (such as 10g, 15g, etc.). The weight error of each stack of medicinal materials is controlled within ±1% to ensure the weight consistency of each package of medicinal materials. Through shock screening, debris and medicinal materials that do not meet the specifications are effectively removed, improving the purity of the medicinal materials. Compared with traditional manual weighing, the automatic weighing system significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of stacking, reducing human error
[0070] S2-3: Perform vacuum packaging treatment on the sliced traditional Chinese medicinal materials to form standard weight packages of medicinal material bags; put the stacked sliced traditional Chinese medicinal materials into a vacuum packaging machine, and vacuumize to -0.08~-0.1MPa to ensure that there is no air left in the package. Use high-barrier packaging materials (such as aluminum foil composite film) to ensure that the medicinal materials are not damp and oxidized during storage. And, perform heat sealing under vacuum, with sealing temperature controlled at 150-180°C to ensure sealing strength, and immediately cool after sealing to avoid deformation of the heat sealed part due to high temperature. In this embodiment, compared with traditional ordinary packaging, vacuum packaging can effectively isolate air and moisture, prolonging the shelf life of the medicinal materials. The use of high-barrier packaging materials further improves the moisture resistance and oxidation resistance of the medicinal materials, ensuring the quality stability of the medicinal materials during storage and transportation.

[0074] Compared with the traditional single cooling method, the multi-stage cooling (pre-cooling, main cooling and final cooling) can more uniformly and stably reduce the temperature of the medicine, avoid deterioration of the medicine due to large temperature difference, and ensure that the medicine is not affected by thermal stress during the cooling process by controlling the temperature and time of each cooling stage, thereby maintaining the physical and chemical stability of the medicine.
[0075] S3-2: The bagged traditional Chinese medicine package that has been subjected to cooling treatment is subjected to shock treatment, and the shock treatment includes preliminary shock, main shock and final shock; wherein the medicine in the bagged traditional Chinese medicine package is uniformly distributed through slight shock to avoid caking, the bagged traditional Chinese medicine package after cooling is placed on a shock machine for low-speed shock, the shock frequency is 30-40 times / minute, and the time is 5-10 minutes; then the medicine is further uniformly distributed through main shock to ensure that the weight of the medicine in each bag is consistent, the bagged traditional Chinese medicine package after preliminary shock is transferred to a main shock machine for medium-speed shock, the shock frequency is 50-60 times / minute, and the time is 10-15 minutes; finally, the medicine in the bagged traditional Chinese medicine package is completely and uniformly distributed through final shock to achieve the best packaging effect, the bagged traditional Chinese medicine package after main shock is transferred to a final shock machine for high-speed shock, the shock frequency is 70-80 times / minute, and the time is 5-10 minutes.
[0076] Compared with the traditional single shock method, the multi-stage shock (preliminary shock, main shock and final shock) can more effectively and uniformly distribute the medicine to avoid caking and uneven distribution, and the shock frequency and time are optimized to ensure that the medicine is uniformly distributed in the package while avoiding damage to the medicine due to excessive shock.
[0077] S3-3: The bagged traditional Chinese medicine package that has been subjected to shock treatment is subjected to quality detection.
[0078] In this embodiment, quality detection includes temperature detection, which can ensure that the temperature of the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package meets the storage requirements. The temperature of the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is detected by an infrared temperature detector, and the temperature should be controlled within the range of 0-5°C;
[0079] It also includes weight detection, which can ensure that the weight of each bag of Chinese herbal medicine package is consistent. The weight of the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is detected by using an electronic scale, and the weight error should be controlled within ±1%.
[0080] It also includes appearance detection, which can ensure that the appearance of the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is not damaged or caked. The appearance of the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is detected by a visual detection system, and the appearance should be without damage or caking, and the distribution of the medicine should be uniform.
[0081] Compared with the traditional single detection method, the present application realizes the comprehensive detection of temperature, weight and appearance, ensures that the quality of each bag of Chinese herbal medicine package meets the standard, and realizes the automation of quality detection by using infrared temperature detector, electronic scale and visual detection system, improves the detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the Chinese herbal decoction formula needs to be input into the automatic sorting system; the system analyzes the unit dosage and the decoction sequence (first decoction, second decoction, ordinary decoction, and bag decoction) of each bagged Chinese herbal medicine package; a sorting task list is generated to clearly define the sorting area of each bagged Chinese herbal medicine package.
[0086] Each bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is scanned by barcode or RFID technology to confirm its type and unit dosage; according to the decoction sequence, the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is distributed to different sorting areas:
[0087] First decoction medicine → first decoction medicine area; second decoction medicine → second decoction medicine area; ordinary decoction medicine → ordinary decoction medicine area; bag decoction medicine → bag decoction medicine area. If the type or unit dosage of the bagged Chinese herbal medicine package is found to be inconsistent, the system will automatically alarm and pause sorting, waiting for manual intervention.
[0088] In each region, the bagged Chinese medicinal material package is pasted with a corresponding color label or number. In this embodiment, the red label is the first decocting medicinal material; the green label is the second decocting medicinal material; the blue label is the ordinary decocting medicinal material; and the yellow label is the bag decocting medicinal material. Of course, in other embodiments, the color is not limited to the specific content of the label identification.
