[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Traditional Chinese medicinal materials are the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine, sourced from natural plants, animals, minerals, etc. Most traditional Chinese medicinal materials are plant-based, such as ginseng, astragalus root, angelica sinensis, etc., and their medicinal parts can be roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc.; animal-based traditional Chinese medicinal materials include pilose antler, donkey-hide gelatin, etc., sourced from animal bones, horns, skins, meats, secretions, etc.; mineral-based traditional Chinese medicinal materials include gypsum, talc, etc. After collection, traditional Chinese medicinal materials need to undergo certain processing, such as cleaning, drying, and processing, to remove impurities, reduce toxicity, enhance efficacy, etc., making them into traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces suitable for use in medicine.

[0022] Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are the finished products after processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials and can be directly used for decocting in water, making wine, or制成 other dosage forms. There are various processing methods, including frying, roasting, calcining, steaming, boiling, etc., and different processing methods will have different effects on the properties of the medicinal materials. Patent medicines are finished medicines processed from traditional Chinese medicinal materials or traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces according to a certain formula and process, with fixed dosage forms and specifications, such as pills, powders, tablets, capsules, injections, etc., which are convenient to use, have stable quality, and are便于储存和运输. The formulas of patent medicines are usually summarized based on traditional Chinese medical theories and clinical practice experience, and have different effects and treatment scopes for different diseases.

[0023] The theory of the properties of traditional Chinese medicine is one of its unique features, mainly including the four natures, five flavors, meridian tropism, ascending, descending, floating, and sinking, etc. The four natures refer to the four properties of cold, heat, warm, and cool of the medicine. Cold and cool medicines mostly have effects such as clearing heat, purging fire, and detoxifying, while warm and hot medicines are mostly used for warming yang, dispelling cold, and boosting yang; the five flavors refer to the five tastes of sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty of the medicine. Medicines with different tastes have different effects, such as pungent taste can disperse and promote qi movement, sweet taste can tonify and harmonize the middle, bitter taste can clear heat and dry dampness, etc.; meridian tropism refers to the selective action of the medicine on the body, that is, the affinity of the medicine for specific zang-fu organs and meridians, such as bupleurum belongs to the liver and gallbladder meridians and can soothe the liver and relieve depression; ascending, descending, floating, and sinking refer to the action tendency of the medicine in the body. Ascending and floating medicines mostly act on the upper and external parts and have effects such as dispersing and lifting, while descending and sinking medicines mostly act on the lower and internal parts and have effects such as purging and sedation.

[0024] The compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine is one of the important principles in traditional Chinese medicine prescription. It refers to the reasonable combination and use of two or more medicines according to the needs of the disease condition and the characteristics of the medicines to enhance efficacy, reduce toxicity, or produce new effects. Common compatibility relationships include mutual reinforcement, mutual assistance, mutual fear, mutual killing, mutual incompatibility, and mutual opposition, etc. Among them, mutual reinforcement and mutual assistance can enhance the efficacy of the medicines, mutual fear and mutual killing can reduce the toxicity of the medicines, while mutual incompatibility and mutual opposition will reduce the efficacy of the medicines or produce toxic reactions. Therefore, careful compatibility is required in clinical medication.

[0025] It should be noted that there are some inaccuracies in the original Chinese text. For example, "制成 other dosage forms" should be "制成 other dosage forms" in English, and "便于储存和运输" should be "convenient for storage and transportation". The above translation has been corrected accordingly.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of use, with abundant records in ancient Chinese medical texts. The *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica) is my country's earliest monograph on TCM, systematically expounding on the classification, properties, and efficacy of Chinese herbs, laying the foundation for the development of TCM in later generations. With the development of modern science and technology, research on TCM has also deepened. Modern pharmacological studies have discovered that TCM contains many bioactive components, such as ginsenosides in ginseng and astragalus polysaccharides in astragalus. These components play important roles in regulating immunity, anti-inflammation, and anti-oxidation. Simultaneously, modern formulation technology for TCM is constantly developing, making the quality of TCM more controllable and the efficacy more stable, providing strong support for the international development of TCM.

[0026] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a treasure of my country's traditional medicine, possessing a unique theoretical system and rich clinical experience, and continues to play an important role in modern medicine. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, TCM will undoubtedly play an even greater role in the prevention and treatment of diseases.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine identification pen for storage includes a pen body and a pen tip; a pen tip for detection is installed at one end of the pen body, and a pen tail is installed at the end of the pen body away from the pen tip. A control circuit board for control is installed inside the pen body, and a light source control unit is installed inside the pen body on one side of the control circuit board. A wireless transmission terminal is installed inside the control circuit board, and an image processing unit is installed inside the light source control unit.

[0028] Please see Figures 2-4 The inner wall of the pen tip is equipped with two sets of docking plates. The pen tip is electrically connected to the control circuit board and the light source control unit through the two sets of docking plates. A locking block is installed circumferentially on the inner wall of the pen tip. A ball bearing is installed inside the locking block. A slot for accommodating the locking block is opened circumferentially on the inner wall of the pen body. A connecting hole for accommodating the ball bearing is opened inside the slot. The locking block is engaged with the slot through the ball bearing. A light source head is installed inside one end of the pen tip. A lens is installed inside the light source head. A CMOS sensor is installed at one end of the pen tip.

[0029] Please see Figures 3-5 The pen tail has a power head installed inside. The power head, control circuit board, and light source control unit are electrically connected to the battery. The pen tail has a storage module installed inside on one side of the power head. The storage module is electrically connected to the control circuit board. The outer wall of the pen body has multiple sets of anti-slip stripes that fit snugly against the pen body.

[0030] When it is necessary to identify and analyze the Chinese medicinal herbs entering the warehouse, the operator manually grasps the pen body and aligns the pen tip with the desired herbs. The pen body utilizes the internal control circuit board, light source control unit, and image processing unit, combined with a CMOS sensor, to detect the herbs. The identification pen, consisting of the control circuit board and light source control unit, replaces manual observation and judgment. The image processing unit can optimize and analyze the acquired images, identifying subtle features of the herbs. Compared to manual observation, it reduces errors caused by insufficient light or individual visual differences, comprehensively assesses the quality of the herbs, reduces misjudgments due to single indicators, and improves the accuracy of identification results. Furthermore, the control circuit board automates the detection process, reducing the time and effort required for manual operation. When identifying different Chinese medicinal herbs entering the warehouse, the pen tip can be removed and replaced with a flat-headed, needle-shaped, or scraper-type tip as needed to adapt to the identification requirements of different herbs.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
