[0002] Chinese herbal medicines refer to natural medicines used for TCM treatment and health care, mainly derived from natural ingredients such as plants, animals and minerals. Under the guidance of TCM theory, they have specific pharmacological effects and therapeutic effects after processing and preparation. There are many types of Chinese herbal medicines, the common ones include: Plant medicines: Roots and stems: such as ginseng, astragalus, and codonopsis. Leaves: such as mint, chrysanthemum, and wolfberry leaves. Fruits: such as jujube, longan, and cordyceps fruit. Flowers: such as roses and honeysuckle. Animal medicines: such as deer antlers, seahorses, and tortoise shells, etc., are often used to enhance physical strength and regulate the body. In the quality control process of Chinese herbal medicines, thickness measurement is an important indicator, which directly affects the efficacy and use effect of the medicines.

[0003] At present, the commonly used measuring tools on the market are mainly manual measuring tools such as handheld calipers and vernier calipers. Although these tools are simple to operate, they have many shortcomings in actual use. First, the stability of manual handheld measurement is poor, and the skill level and experience differences of operators may lead to inconsistency in measurement results. Especially when facing medicinal materials with irregular shapes or rough surfaces, manual measurement is easily affected by external factors, such as hand shaking, uneven pressure applied, etc., which will lead to deviations in measurement results. Secondly, when reading data, handheld measuring tools often need to rely on the observation and judgment of operators, which may introduce human errors. This error has a significant cumulative effect when testing large quantities of medicinal materials, further affecting the overall quality control. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and accurate automated measurement device to solve the problems of insufficient accuracy and low efficiency caused by current manual measurement.
