Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elemental identification technology of medicinal materials, and in particular to an elemental identification and analysis device for traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] As the core material basis of traditional Chinese medicine, the types and contents of active ingredients and trace elements in medicinal herbs directly determine their quality and clinical efficacy. Modern research in traditional Chinese medicine shows that medicinal herbs not only contain active ingredients such as alkaloids and flavonoids, but also a variety of trace elements. The differences in the composition and proportion of these substances not only affect the pharmacological effects of the medicinal herbs, but are also closely related to their authenticity and the identification of genuine and counterfeit products.
[0003] X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is commonly used to detect elements in traditional Chinese medicine. However, existing spectrometers require the traditional Chinese medicine to be pulverized and the powder to be weighed quantitatively before spectral analysis can be performed, which results in low detection efficiency. Therefore, a device for identifying and analyzing the elements in traditional Chinese medicine was designed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a device for identifying and analyzing the elements in traditional Chinese medicinal materials.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A device for identifying and analyzing the elements of traditional Chinese medicinal materials includes a base. An optical detector is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the base, and a pulverizing mechanism is provided at the other end of the top of the base. The pulverizing mechanism includes support frames fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the base. Rotating rods are rotatably mounted on the top of each of the two support frames. A pulverizing box is fixedly connected between the two rotating rods. A circular groove is provided on the side of the pulverizing box near the optical detector. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the pulverizing box, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected through the top output end of the drive motor through the pulverizing box. Multiple cutters are fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft. A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pulverizing box at the circular groove, and an auger is fixedly connected through the top output end of the motor through the circular groove. The auger is adapted to the circular groove. A cover plate is provided on the top of the pulverizing box.
[0007] Preferably, the pulverizing mechanism further includes a rotating rod whose outer end passes through the support frame and is fixedly connected to a swing rod. The pulverizing mechanism can pulverize Chinese medicine and automatically feed quantitatively to the container on the top of the electronic weighing platform.
[0008] Preferably, a feeding mechanism is provided at the middle of the top of the base. The feeding mechanism includes fixed plates fixedly connected to the two sides of the middle of the top of the base. A sliding rod is fixedly connected between the two ends of the top of the two fixed plates. The same moving platform is slidably sleeved on the circumferential surface of the two sliding rods. A circular hole adapted to the sliding rod is opened at both ends of the moving platform. An electronic weighing platform is fixedly connected to the top of the moving platform.
[0009] Preferably, the feeding mechanism further includes a lead screw rotatably connected between the tops of two fixed plates, with the lead screw thread passing through the moving table. A lead screw nut adapted to the lead screw is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the moving table. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed plate near the crushing mechanism, and the output end of the servo motor passes through the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side of the moving table near the swing rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the swing rod. When the feeding mechanism is in operation, the powder crushed by the crushing mechanism is automatically transferred to the optical detector for detection, and when it is close to the crushing mechanism, the crushing box automatically tilts to feed the powder.
[0010] Preferably, the optical detector has a detection chamber at the bottom of the side near the feeding mechanism, and the detection chamber is adapted to the electronic weighing platform. An X-ray transmitter is fixedly connected to the top of the detection chamber, and a display screen and control buttons are provided on the outside of the optical detector.
[0011] Preferably, a control panel is also fixedly connected to the top of the base, and the control panel is electrically connected to the electronic weighing platform, the servo motor, the drive motor and the motor respectively.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] Thanks to the adoption of feeding and crushing mechanisms, the cutter can crush traditional Chinese medicine. Simultaneously, when the electronic weighing platform approaches the crushing mechanism, the crushing box automatically tilts, concentrating the powder in the circular trough. A screw conveyor then transports the powder to the container at the top of the electronic weighing platform. Combined with the weighing function of the electronic weighing platform, the amount of powder is controlled. The electronic weighing platform then automatically carries the powder to the testing chamber for analysis. This effectively solves the problem of cumbersome operating procedures mentioned in the background technology, thus realizing an integrated process from crushing, conveying, and quantitative weighing of traditional Chinese medicine to testing. It significantly reduces intermediate steps such as manual transfer and packaging, enabling rapid sample processing and a markedly shorter testing cycle for individual samples.

An optical detector 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the base 1, and a pulverizing mechanism 3 is provided at the other end of the top of the base 1. The pulverizing mechanism 3 includes support frames 301 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base 1. Rotating rods 302 are rotatably sleeved on the top of each of the two support frames 301. A common pulverizing box 303 is fixedly connected between the two rotating rods 302. A circular groove 308 is provided on the side of the pulverizing box 303 near the optical detector 2. A fixed connection is made at the middle of the bottom of the pulverizing box 303. A drive motor 306 is connected, and the top output end of the drive motor 306 passes through the crushing box 303 and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 309. Multiple cutters 310 are fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 309. A motor 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the crushing box 303 at the circular groove 308. An auger 312 is fixedly connected to the top output end of the motor 307 through the circular groove 308. The auger 312 is adapted to the circular groove 308. A cover plate 304 is provided on the top of the crushing box 303. The crushing mechanism 3 can crush and feed traditional Chinese medicine.
[0022] In this utility model, the crushing mechanism 3 also includes a rotating rod 302 whose outer end passes through the support frame 301 and is fixedly connected to a swing rod 305.
[0023] In this utility model, a feeding mechanism 4 is provided at the middle of the top of the base 1. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a fixed plate 401 fixedly connected to both sides of the middle of the top of the base 1. A sliding rod 402 is fixedly connected between the two ends of the top of the two fixed plates 401. The same moving platform 405 is slidably sleeved on the circumferential surface of the two sliding rods 402. Both ends of the moving platform 405 are provided with round holes adapted to the sliding rods 402. An electronic weighing platform 406 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving platform 405. The electronic weighing platform 406 can weigh the medicine powder.
[0024] In this utility model, the feeding mechanism 4 also includes a lead screw 403 rotatably connected between the tops of two fixed plates 401, and the lead screw 403 threaded through the moving table 405. A lead screw nut adapted to the lead screw 403 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the moving table 405. A servo motor 404 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed plate 401 near the crushing mechanism 3, and the output end of the servo motor 404 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 403 through the fixed plate 401. A connecting rod 407 is rotatably connected to the side of the moving table 405 near the swing rod 305, and the other end of the connecting rod 407 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the swing rod 305. Through the setting of the swing rod 305 and the connecting rod 407, when the electronic weighing platform 406 is close to the crushing mechanism 3, the crushing box 303 automatically tilts, which facilitates feeding the container.
[0025] In this utility model, the bottom of the optical detector 2 near the feeding mechanism 4 has a detection chamber 201, and the detection chamber 201 is adapted to the electronic weighing platform 406. An X-ray emitter 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the detection chamber 201, and a display screen and control buttons are provided on the outside of the optical detector 2. The optical detector 2 is the prior art and performs detection by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
[0026] In this utility model, a control panel is also fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the control panel is electrically connected to the electronic weighing platform 406, the servo motor 404, the drive motor 306 and the motor 307 respectively.
[0027] Working principle: When using this device, the Chinese medicine to be tested is placed in the pulverizing box 303. The drive motor 306 and motor 307 are started, causing the cutter 310 to pulverize the Chinese medicine. The rotation of motor 307 prevents the Chinese medicine from moving to the circular groove 308. After completion, the cover plate 304 is removed, and the servo motor 404 is started, causing the lead screw 403 to rotate. This causes the moving platform 405, along with the electronic weighing platform 406, to move closer to one side of the pulverizing mechanism 3. Through the connecting rod 407, the swing arm 305 rotates, causing the top of the pulverizing box 303 to tilt towards one side of the electronic weighing platform 406. The collection container on top of the electronic weighing platform 406 is then positioned precisely at the top of the circular groove 308. Due to the tilt of the pulverizing box 303... The process involves moving all the Chinese medicine powder inside the pulverizer 303 to the circular groove 308. The rotation of the motor 307 causes the auger 312 to deliver the powder to the container on top of the electronic weighing platform 406. When the required mass is reached, the motor 307 stops, and the servo motor 404 reverses, causing the electronic weighing platform 406 to move into the detection chamber 201. During this process, the pulverizer 303 automatically returns to its original position. The powder is then irradiated by the X-ray emitter 202, causing the inner-shell electrons of the elements to be excited and emit characteristic X-ray fluorescence. The elemental composition is analyzed using energy dispersion or wavelength dispersion. The combination of the electronic weighing platform 406 and the motor 307 allows for precise control of the powder's quality.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
