[0002] During the processing process, the appearance of Chinese herbal medicines, such as their color and odor, directly reflects their intrinsic quality. However, existing online detection equipment, such as electronic sensors and photoionization odor sensors, often struggle to operate properly in complex environments characterized by high temperatures, high pressures, and high dust levels. These operational limitations make it difficult to monitor the specific conditions of the pieces within the processing equipment in real time during production, hindering quality control during the production process and making it difficult to obtain uniform, high-quality pieces.

[0003] During the production process of Chinese herbal medicine slices, the degree of preparation of Chinese herbal medicine slices varies from one part of the equipment to another, and this difference directly affects the quality of the slices. Therefore, accurately monitoring the preparation status of each part of the processing equipment during the production process is of great significance for improving the quality of the slices and ensuring their uniformity.

[0004] While existing technologies can effectively perform online testing under certain production environments, their performance often fails to meet actual production needs under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and high dust levels. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop online testing equipment that can meet the complex environment of traditional Chinese medicine processing. This technology can monitor the status of the prepared pieces in real time, ensure the uniformity and stability of the quality of the pieces, and better serve the intelligent production of traditional Chinese medicine pieces.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to facilitate ordinary technicians in this field to understand and implement the present invention, the various steps of the method proposed in the present invention are described in detail below, and the experimental process is given. It should be understood that the implementation examples described here are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] Example 1: Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an online sampling and testing device for the production process of Chinese herbal medicine slices includes a testing table box 12, a station turntable 11 and a testing device. The testing table box 12 is provided with a station turntable 11, which includes at least one testing station and a blanking station 1104. The testing table box 12 is equipped with a testing device corresponding to the testing station through a support frame 9, and also includes a sampling tube 4, a return sample tube 5 and a vacuum sampler 6. The vacuum sampler 6 includes a storage bin 60 3. Vacuum pump 605, sample push rod 601 and slide pipe 604; wherein: the vacuum pump 605 is installed on the top of the storage bin 603, the upper part of one side of the storage bin 603 is connected to the sampling tube 4, and the lower part of the other side is connected to the slide pipe 604 whose outlet corresponds to the blanking station 1104, and a return sample tube 5 is provided below the blanking station 1104. The lower part of the storage bin 603 is also provided with a sample push rod 601 for pushing the sample in the storage bin 603 into the slide pipe 604.

[0029] In this embodiment, the detection equipment is existing technology, including but not limited to the electronic eye 7, the moisture meter 8 and the photoionization odor sensor 10. Appropriate detection equipment can be selected for detection according to the sample characteristics and detection items.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first pneumatic valve 502 is provided at the inlet end of the sample return tube 5 , and a second pneumatic valve 602 is provided at the bottom of the storage bin 603 .

[0031] When the utility model works Figure 3 As shown, the sampling tube 4 and the sample return tube 5 are extended into the interior of the processing equipment 2, the vacuum pump 605 is turned on, the sampling tube 4 sucks the medicinal material 1 into the storage bin 603, and under the action of the sample push rod 601, the medicinal material 1 enters the detection station along the slide pipe 604. The detection equipment detects the medicinal material 1 entering the detection station. When the station turntable 11 rotates to the blanking station 1104, the tested medicinal material 1 returns to the processing equipment 2 through the sample return tube 5, thereby completing the online detection.

[0032] Example 2 is different from Example 1 in that the detection equipment includes an electronic eye 7, a moisture meter 8 and a photoionization odor sensor 10, and the station turntable 11 includes a color detection station 1101, a moisture detection station 1102, and an odor detection station 1103.

[0033] Example 3 is different from Example 1 in that a connecting pipe 13 is provided between the storage bin 603 and the sample return pipe 5. Opening the second pneumatic valve 602 allows excess medicinal materials 1 to enter the sample return pipe 5 through the connecting pipe 13, thereby quickly returning to the processing equipment 2.

[0034] Example 4 is different from Example 1 in that a plurality of air inlet nozzles 501 are provided on the pipeline of the sample return tube 5, which can be connected to the compressed air pipeline through the air inlet nozzles 501, so as to pneumatically push the medicinal materials 1 in the sample return tube 5 to prevent the medicinal materials 1 from staying in the sample return tube 5.

[0035] Example 5 is different from Example 1 in that the inlet end of the sampling tube 4 and the outlet end of the return sample tube 5 are respectively provided with a stainless telescopic sleeve 3. By providing the stainless telescopic sleeve 3, the length can be adjusted to increase the flexibility of the sampling site and the pipeline.

[0036] Furthermore, the outer tubes of the two stainless telescopic sleeves 3 are fixedly connected, which can facilitate installation and removal.

[0037] Furthermore, the inner tubes of the two stainless telescopic sleeves 3 are fixedly connected, which facilitates simultaneous length adjustment.

[0038] Furthermore, a telescopic push rod 401 is provided on the outer tube of one of the stainless telescopic sleeves 3, and the output end of the telescopic push rod 401 is connected to the inner tube of one of the stainless telescopic sleeves 3. By providing the telescopic push rod 401, the lengths of the two stainless telescopic sleeves 3 can be adjusted simultaneously.

[0039] Furthermore, the sample push rod 601 and the telescopic push rod 401 include but are not limited to electric push rods, hydraulic push rods and pneumatic push rods.

[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are included in the present invention. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claim to which they relate.

[0041] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
