Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of medicinal paste quality testing technology, and in particular to medicinal paste quality testing equipment based on Raman spectroscopy. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine ointments are external application ointments made from Chinese medicinal herbs, primarily used to treat various skin diseases and pain symptoms. These ointments are typically prepared from a variety of Chinese medicinal herbs in specific proportions and methods, possessing certain pharmacological effects. These herbs contain abundant herbal components, such as polysaccharides, phenols, alkaloids, and terpenes, which have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, and anti-swelling effects. After production, the composition and quality of these ointments require accurate testing and analysis.
[0003] Raman spectroscopy is used in the quality inspection of medicinal pastes primarily to achieve component analysis and quality control in a non-contact, non-destructive manner, offering advantages in efficiency and accuracy. Traditional medicinal paste testing often requires sample contact, which can easily cause contamination or damage to the sample. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, on the other hand, can complete the detection without contact with the sample, avoiding secondary contamination and reducing the risk of misjudgment.
[0004] Before testing the herbal paste, it needs to be applied to a glass slide. When using Raman spectroscopy to test the herbal paste, it is necessary to observe it under a microscope. Before observation, a coverslip needs to be placed on the glass slide. However, human intervention in this process can lead to low efficiency and affect the high efficiency of quality testing for various herbal pastes. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The technical solution provided in this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, a first motor drives the drive shaft to rotate. As the fixed frame rotates, four sets of collection frames rotate. One set of collection frames rotates to be perpendicular to the glass slide, while the bottom of the other three sets of collection frames is blocked by a baffle to prevent the ointment from flowing out. When facing the cutout position of the baffle, the upper pressure plate contacts the top of the piston frame, and the lower pressure plate rotates and inserts into the arc-shaped groove of the placement frame. The second motor drives the first bidirectional screw to rotate, and the upper pressure plate squeezes the piston frame, squeezing out the ointment inside the collection frame. The lower pressure plate drives the placement frame and glass slide to move upward, closer to the bottom of the collection frame, to facilitate receiving the ointment. This continues until the piston frame pushes the ointment inside the collection frame completely onto the glass slide. The pressure plate then sends the glass slide and placement frame back to the placement groove, allowing the next set of ointment to be delivered. The drain hole at the bottom of the collection frame can disperse and squeeze the ointment onto the surface of the glass slide, facilitating even application later. 2. In this invention, the wrapping frame is fixedly connected to the upper pressure plate of the feeding component through the connection of the connecting frame, and moves together with it. When the upper pressure plate descends and squeezes out the paste inside the collection frame, the wrapping frame covers the upper end of the glass slide that has been coated with paste. The first electric push rod drives the insert to slide along the turntable, which can adjust the position of the circular plate on the scraper, thereby controlling the uniform thickness of the paste coating. The third motor drives the turntable and scraper to rotate, so that the paste on the glass slide is evenly coated. The wrapping frame restricts the area of paste coating to a certain area, which is the same as the area that can be detected by the subsequent detection component, which facilitates multi-point detection of the paste. 3. In this invention, the first screw is driven to rotate by the fourth motor, causing the upper and lower moving frames to move upward along the vertical groove. Then, the vertical plate is moved along the detection table by the second electric push rod. At the same time, the upper and lower moving frames approach the conveying table, and the cover glass slide approaches the outlet of the conveying table. The clamping frames at the front end of the upper and lower moving frames are inserted into the top and bottom of the side plates on both sides of the cover glass slide. The upper moving frame is lowered to approach the lower moving frame by the third electric push rod, clamping the side plate of the cover glass slide. Then, the cover glass slide is moved to the top of the moving groove by the second electric push rod, so that the cover glass slide and the slide are aligned. 4. In this invention, the fifth motor drives the second screw to rotate, and the mounting base slides along the moving groove in threaded engagement with the second screw, adjusting the position of the bottom of the image acquisition device relative to the sample to achieve focusing and fixed-point detection of the paste quality. The motor drives the third screw to rotate, and the screw plate moves along the bottom groove in threaded engagement with the third screw. The sixth motor drives the gear to rotate and mesh with the gear plate, thereby rotating the image acquisition device in a ring to perform multi-point detection of the sample.

[0020] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are used only to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure. Rather, embodiments of this disclosure include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, this disclosure proposes a quality testing device for medicinal pastes based on Raman spectroscopy, comprising: a testing platform 1, a base at the bottom of the testing platform 1, and a motor fixed to the top of the base at the bottom of the testing platform 1. The testing platform 1 is rotatably mounted on the base and fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Five placement slots 11 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the testing platform 1. One of the placement slots 11 of the testing platform 1 is a placement or removal slot. The other four placement slots 11 of the testing platform 1 are arranged in clockwise order as a feeding component 2, a leveling component 3, a pressing component 4, and a testing component 5. The feeding assembly 2 includes a fixing plate 21, which is fixedly connected to the base. A drive shaft 23 is rotatably mounted on the top of the fixing plate 21. A fixing frame 24 is fixed on the surface of the drive shaft 23, and four collection frames 26 are equidistantly fixed on the outer side of the fixing frame 24. The upper end of each collection frame 26 is covered with a top cover 27. The bottom of one of the collection frames 26 on the fixing frame 24 corresponds to the placement groove 11. The flattening assembly 3 includes a wrapping frame 31, the bottom of which corresponds to the placement groove 11. A scraper 3 is rotatably mounted inside the wrapping frame 31. 7. A circular plate 38 is slidably mounted on the surface of the scraper 37; the cover plate assembly 4 includes a conveyor table 42, the outlet end of which corresponds to the placement slot 11; a mounting bracket 41 is fixed to the base of the detection table 1 at the position corresponding to the conveyor table 42; the conveyor table 42 is fixed to the surface of the mounting bracket 41; a cover glass slide 14 is conveyed on the conveyor table 42; the detection assembly 5 includes an image acquisition device 512, which corresponds to the last set of placement slots 11; a mounting base 55 is provided on the top of the image acquisition device 512; the detection... A vertical frame 51 is fixed to the base at the bottom of the testing platform 1 at the position corresponding to the mounting seat 55. The mounting seat 55 slides along the surface of the vertical frame 51. When using the device, the glass slide 13 is placed in the placement frame 12 inside the placement slot 11 of the testing platform 1. The paste is pre-stored inside the collection frame 26 of the feeding component 2. As the testing platform 1 rotates, the paste is evenly applied to the surface of the glass slide 13. The cover glass 14 is then placed on the glass slide 13 by the cover pressing component 4. Finally, the paste moves to the bottom of the testing component 5 to test its quality. The equipment operates continuously, improving testing efficiency.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a placement frame 12 is slidably installed inside the placement slot 11, and a glass slide 13 is placed inside the placement frame 12. The four sides of the glass slide 13 are provided with raised edges, and side plates 15 are fixed on both sides of the cover glass 14. Wherein, the raised edges on both sides of the glass slide 13 are provided with notches corresponding to the positions of the side plates 15 of the cover glass 14.
[0023] Understandably, the slide 13 is picked up and placed in the placement and removal station, and the rotation of the detection stage 1 is driven by the motor inside the base, so that the ointment can be applied to the slide 13 for covering with the cover glass 14 and for testing the quality of the ointment.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding assembly 2 further includes: a baffle plate 25, a piston frame 28, a first spring 29, and a drain hole 210. The bottom of the collection frame 26 is provided with a drain hole 210. The fixing plate 21 is fixed to the bottom of the four sets of collection frames 26 with a baffle plate 25, and the baffle plate 25 has a hollow notch at the position corresponding to the top of the placement slot 11. The upper end of the top cover 27 is slidably connected to the piston frame 28, which includes a push plate and a piston rod. The push plate of the piston frame 28 slides along the inside of the collection frame 26, and the piston rod of the piston frame 28 slides through the top cover 27. A first spring 29 is sleeved on the surface of the piston rod of the piston frame 28 that protrudes from the top cover 27. The fixing plate 21 is fixed to the bottom of the drive shaft 23 with a first spring 29. A motor 22 is provided, and the output end of the first motor 22 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 23. The drive shaft 23 has a vertical groove 211 on the side facing the detection table 1, and a first bidirectional screw 212 is rotatably installed inside the vertical groove 211. Two pressure plates 214 are threaded onto the surface of the first bidirectional screw 212. The pressure plate 214 at the upper end of the first bidirectional screw 212 contacts the top of the piston frame 28. An arc-shaped groove 16 is provided at the outer end of the placement frame 12, and the pressure plate 214 at the lower end of the first bidirectional screw 212 slides into the arc-shaped groove 16. A second motor 213 is fixed at the top of the drive shaft 23 corresponding to the position of the first bidirectional screw 212, and the output end of the second motor 213 is fixedly connected to the first bidirectional screw 212.
[0025] Understandably, different portions of the ointment are collected into the collection frame 26. As the new slide 13 rotates to the notch position of the baffle 25, the first motor 22 drives the drive shaft 23 to rotate. With the rotation of the fixing frame 24, the four collection frames 26 rotate, aligning one set of collection frames 26 perpendicularly to the slide 13. The bottom of the other three collection frames 26 is blocked by the baffle 25 to prevent the ointment from flowing out. When directly aligned with the notch position of the baffle 25, the upper pressure plate 214 contacts the top of the piston frame 28, and the lower pressure plate 214 rotates and inserts into the arc-shaped groove 16 of the placement frame 12. The second motor 21... 3 drives the first bidirectional screw 212 to rotate, the upper pressure plate 214 squeezes the piston frame 28, squeezing out the ointment inside the collection frame 26, and the lower pressure plate 214 drives the placement frame 12 and the glass slide 13 to move upward, close to the bottom of the collection frame 26, to facilitate receiving the ointment, until the piston frame 28 pushes the ointment inside the collection frame 26 completely onto the glass slide 13, and the pressure plate 214 sends the glass slide 13 and the placement frame 12 back to the placement groove 11, so that the next set of ointment can be delivered. The drain hole 210 at the bottom of the collection frame 26 can disperse and squeeze the ointment onto the surface of the glass slide 13, which is convenient for subsequent even application.
[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the flattening assembly 3 further includes: a connecting frame 32, a third motor 33, a turntable 34, a insert 36, and a first electric push rod 35. The top of the wrapping frame 31 is fixed with the connecting frame 32, and the other end of the connecting frame 32 is fixedly connected to the upper pressure plate 214 of the drive shaft 23. The connecting frame 32 is fixed with the third motor 33 at the top axis of the wrapping frame 31. The top of the wrapping frame 31 is rotatably connected with the turntable 34, and the output end of the third motor 33 passes through the turntable 34 and is fixedly connected to the scraper 37. The output end of the third motor 33 is slidably sleeved with the insert 36, and the bottom of the insert 36 passes through the turntable 34 and is fixedly connected to the circular plate 38. The first electric push rod 35 is fixedly attached to one side of the connecting frame 32 located on the third motor 33, and the extended end of the first electric push rod 35 is fixedly connected to the insert 36.
[0027] It should be noted that, through the connection of the connecting frame 32, the wrapping frame 31 is fixedly connected to the upper pressure plate 214 of the feeding component 2 and moves together with it. When the upper pressure plate 214 descends and squeezes out the paste inside the collection frame 26, the wrapping frame 31 covers the upper end of the glass slide 13 that has been coated with paste. The first electric push rod 35 drives the insert 36 to slide along the turntable 34, which can adjust the position of the circular plate 38 on the scraper 37, thereby controlling the uniform thickness of the paste coating. The third motor 33 drives the turntable 34 and the scraper 37 to rotate, so that the paste on the glass slide 13 is evenly coated. The wrapping frame 31 restricts the area of paste coating to a certain area, which is the same as the area that can be detected by the subsequent detection component 5, which facilitates multi-point detection of the paste.
[0028] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover pressing assembly 4 further includes: a second electric push rod 43, a vertical plate 44, a slide groove 45, a lower moving frame 48, and an upper moving frame 49. A vertical plate 44 is slidably mounted on the top of the detection table 1. A vertical groove 211 is formed on the side of the vertical plate 44 facing the conveyor table 42, and a lower moving frame 48 is slidably connected to the bottom of the vertical groove 211. An upper moving frame 49 is provided on the top of the lower moving frame 48. The second electric push rod 43 is fixed on both sides of the top of the mounting frame 41, and the extended end of the second electric push rod 43 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 44. The upper moving frame 49 and the lower moving frame 48 correspond to... Clamping frames 411 are fixed to the positions of the side plates 15 on both sides of the slide 13 and the cover glass 14. The two clamping frames 411 are clamped to the top and bottom of the side plates 15. A first screw 46 is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove 45. The lower moving frame 48 is threaded onto the surface of the first screw 46. A fourth motor 47 is fixed to the top of the vertical plate 44 at the position corresponding to the first screw 46, and the output end of the fourth motor 47 is fixedly connected to the first screw 46. A third electric push rod 410 is fixed at equal intervals on the surface of the lower moving frame 48 near the vertical plate 44, and the extended end of the third electric push rod 410 is fixedly connected to the upper moving frame 49.
[0029] It should be noted that the conveyor table 42 is used to convey new cover glass slides 14. The first screw 46 is rotated by the fourth motor 47, causing the upper moving frame 49 and the lower moving frame 48 to move upwards along the vertical groove 211. Then, the second electric push rod 43 drives the vertical plate 44 to move along the inspection table 1. Simultaneously, the upper moving frame 49 and the lower moving frame 48 approach the conveyor table 42, and the cover glass slide 14 approaches the outlet of the conveyor table 42. The clamping frames 411 at the front ends of the upper moving frame 49 and the lower moving frame 48 are inserted into the top and bottom of the side plates 15 on both sides of the cover glass slide 14. The third... The electric push rod 410 drives the upper moving frame 49 to descend and approach the lower moving frame 48, clamping the side plate 15 of the coverslip 14. Then, the second electric push rod 43 pushes it away from the vertical plate 44, moving the coverslip 14 to the top of the moving groove 52, so that the coverslip 14 and the slide 13 are aligned. The first screw 46 inside the vertical groove 211 covers the top of the slide 13 with the coverslip 14. The coverslip 14 and the slide 13 are made of specially made materials. In principle, they are the same as the lenses used for microscope observation, but there are certain differences in structure.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the detection component 5 further includes: a moving groove 52, a second screw 53, and a fifth motor 54. The moving groove 52 is formed on the surface of the vertical frame 51 corresponding to the position of the mounting base 55, and the second screw 53 is rotatably mounted inside the moving groove 52. The mounting base 55 is threaded onto the second screw 53 and slides along the inside of the moving groove 52. The fifth motor 54 is fixedly mounted on the top of the vertical frame 51 corresponding to the position of the second screw 53, and the output end of the fifth motor 54 is fixedly connected to the second screw 53. The bottom of the mounting base 55 rotates... A gear disk 56 is movably mounted, and a gear 58 is meshed with one side of the gear disk 56. A sixth motor 57 is fixed on one side of the mounting base 55 at the top of the gear 58, and the output end of the sixth motor 57 is fixedly connected to the gear 58. A bottom groove 59 is opened at the bottom of the gear disk 56, and a third screw 510 is rotatably mounted inside the bottom groove 59. A screw plate 511 is threaded onto the surface of the third screw 510, and the screw plate 511 slides along the inside of the bottom groove 59. The top of the image acquisition device 512 is fixed on the bottom surface of the screw plate 511.
[0031] It should be noted that the image acquisition device in this solution combines Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, along with a camera lens, to acquire images and obtain complementary information, comprehensively analyzing the chemical structure of multiple components in a complex matrix. This part is similar to patent CN116399809A, which uses a combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to accurately detect the composition and quality of ointments in a short time. In actual testing, the sample covered with a coverslip 14 rotates to the detection assembly along with the detection stage 1. At the bottom, the second screw 53 is rotated by the fifth motor 54. The mounting base 55 slides along the moving groove 52 with the second screw 53 in a threaded engagement, adjusting the position of the bottom of the image acquisition device 512 relative to the sample to achieve focusing and fixed-point detection of the paste quality. The third screw 510 is rotated by the motor, and the screw plate 511 moves along the bottom groove 59 with the third screw 510 in a threaded engagement. The sixth motor 57 drives the gear 58 to rotate and mesh with the gear plate 56, thereby rotating the image acquisition device 512 in a ring to perform multi-point detection of the sample.
[0032] Working principle: When using the device, the slide 13 is placed into the placement frame 12 inside the placement slot 11 of the detection stage 1. Different portions of the ointment are collected into the collection frame 26. As the new slide 13 rotates to the notch position of the baffle 25, the first motor 22 drives the drive shaft 23 to rotate. As the fixing frame 24 rotates, the four sets of collection frames 26 rotate, aligning one set of collection frames 26 perpendicular to the slide 13. The bottom of the other three sets of collection frames 26 is blocked by the baffle 25 to prevent the ointment from flowing out. When directly aligned with the notch position of the baffle 25, the upper pressure plate 214 contacts the top of the piston frame 28, and the lower pressure plate 214 rotates and inserts into the arc-shaped groove 16 of the placement frame 12. The second motor 213 drives the first bidirectional screw 212 to rotate. The end pressure plate 214 presses against the piston frame 28, squeezing out the ointment inside the collection frame 26. The lower pressure plate 214 also moves the placement frame 12 and the glass slide 13 upwards, closer to the bottom of the collection frame 26, to facilitate ointment collection. This continues until the piston frame 28 completely pushes the ointment inside the collection frame 26 onto the glass slide 13. The pressure plate 214 then returns the glass slide 13 and placement frame 12 to the placement slot 11, allowing the next set of ointment to be delivered. The drain hole 210 at the bottom of the collection frame 26 disperses the ointment onto the surface of the glass slide 13, facilitating even application later. The wrapping frame 31 is fixedly connected to the upper pressure plate 214 of the feeding assembly 2 via the connecting frame 32, and moves together with it. As the upper pressure plate 214 descends, it pushes the collection frame 26... When the ointment inside 6 is extruded, the covering frame 31 covers the upper end of the slide 13 that has been coated with ointment. The first electric push rod 35 drives the insert 36 to slide along the turntable 34, which can adjust the position of the circular plate 38 on the scraper 37, thereby controlling the uniform thickness of the ointment coating. The third motor 33 drives the turntable 34 and the scraper 37 to rotate, spreading the ointment evenly on the slide 13. The covering frame 31 restricts the ointment coating to a certain area, which is the same as the detection range of the subsequent detection component 5, facilitating multi-point detection of the ointment. The conveyor table 42 is used to transport new cover slips 14. The fourth motor 47 drives the first screw 46 to rotate, causing the upper moving frame 49 and the lower moving frame 48 to move along the vertical groove 211. The cover glass 14 moves upward, and then the second electric push rod 43 drives the vertical plate 44 to move upward along the detection table 1. At the same time, the upper moving frame 49 and the lower moving frame 48 approach the conveyor table 42, and the cover glass 14 approaches the outlet of the conveyor table 42. The clamping frame 411 at the front end of the upper moving frame 49 and the lower moving frame 48 is inserted into the top and bottom of the side plates 15 on both sides of the cover glass 14. The third electric push rod 410 drives the upper moving frame 49 to descend and approach the lower moving frame 48 to clamp the side plates 15 of the cover glass 14. Then, the second electric push rod 43 pushes it away from the vertical plate 44, moving the cover glass 14 to the top of the moving groove 52, so that the cover glass 14 and the slide 13 are aligned. The first screw 46 inside the vertical groove 211 covers the top of the slide 13 with the cover glass 14.The coverslip 14 and slide 13 here are made of specially manufactured materials. While their principle is the same as the lenses used in microscopic observation, their structures differ somewhat. The sample covered with the coverslip 14 rotates with the detection stage 1 to the bottom of the detection assembly 5. Then, the fifth motor 54 drives the second screw 53 to rotate. The mounting base 55, threaded with the second screw 53, slides along the moving groove 52, adjusting the position of the bottom of the image acquisition device 512 relative to the sample to achieve focusing and precise detection of the paste. The motor drives the third screw 510 to rotate, and the screw plate 511, threaded with the third screw 510, moves along the bottom groove 59. The sixth motor 57 drives the gear 58 to rotate and mesh with the gear plate 56, thus rotating the image acquisition device 512 in a ring for multi-point detection of the sample. In this scheme, the image acquisition device combines Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, along with a camera lens, to acquire images, providing complementary information and comprehensively analyzing the chemical structure of multiple components in a complex matrix. The equipment operates continuously, improving detection efficiency.
