Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an automated medicinal plant identification and extraction device that is capable of identifying medicinal plants as per user-specified health condition, and extracting plant components for providing a seamless and effective solution for users to utilize medicinal plants.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The increasing demand for medicinal plants for health and wellness has highlighted the need for efficient and automated systems to identify, process, and extract plant-based compounds. Traditional methods often require significant manual labor, time, and expertise, making the process inefficient and inconsistent. Existing devices lack integration of AI for plant identification, automated cutting, cleaning, and precise extraction mechanisms. The invention aims to address these limitations by offering a comprehensive automated solution, integrating advanced technologies such as image recognition, moisture sensing, grinding, and controlled dispensing, ensuring optimal extraction and improved usability for users in both healthcare and agricultural fields.

[0003] Traditionally, users rely on manual tools for the identification and extraction of medicinal plants, which often involves a combination of visual inspection, field guides, and experience to identify plant species. For extraction, tools such as knives, mortars and pestles, and manual presses are commonly used to cut, grind, and process plant materials. These methods require significant effort, expertise, and time, and are prone to inaccuracies in plant identification and inefficiencies in the extraction process. Additionally, the lack of precise control over factors like moisture, temperature, and consistency can lead to suboptimal yields and potential loss of valuable compounds.

[0004] US20180330166A1 discloses a treatment platform uses a plant detection model to detect plants as the plant treatment platform travels through a field. The plant treatment platform receives image data from a camera that captures images of plants (e.g., crops or weeds) growing in the field. The plant treatment platform applies pre-processing functions to the image data to prepare the image data for processing by the plant detection model. For example, the plant treatment platform may reformat the image data, adjust the resolution or aspect ratio, or crop the image data. The plant treatment platform applies the plant detection model to the pre-processed image data to generate bounding boxes for the plants. The plant treatment platform then can apply treatment to the plants based on the output of the machine-learned model.

[0005] US5466454A discloses an invention provides an improved extraction process of the type in which herbs are boiled in a solvent to produce an herbal liquid that is concentrated to form an herbal extract. In a first phase of the improved process, herbs are boiled in a solvent in an extraction vessel to form an herbal liquid and an herbal vapor; the herbal vapor is drawn into a collection tank, where it is allowed to condense into an herbal condensate that is periodically re-introduced into the herbal liquid in the extraction vessel. In a second phase, a portion of the herbal liquid is drawn into a concentration vessel, where it is concentrated into herbal extract while the herbal liquid continues to boil in the extraction vessel; this second phase is repeated until there is no more herbal liquid in the extraction vessel. In a third and final phase, the last of the herbal liquid drawn into the concentration vessel from the extraction vessel is concentrated into herbal extract.

[0022] The present invention relates to an automated medicinal plant identification and extraction device that is capable of automatically identifying medicinal plants, collecting the necessary plant materials, and extracting therapeutic compounds with minimal user intervention by using precise extraction mechanisms, making easier for users to efficiently utilize medicinal plants for health and wellness purpose.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an automated medicinal plant identification and extraction device is illustrated, comprising a cuboidal-shaped housing 101 installed with a pair of straps 102, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 installed on the housing 101, a pair of motorized rollers 104 integrated within the housing and coiled with straps 102, a a touch enabled display panel 105 affixed to upper surface of the housing 101, a holographic projection unit 106 mounted on the housing 101, an articulated arm 107 integrated with a V-shaped cutting unit 108 attached with the housing 101, a chamber 109 installed inside the housing 101, a motorized lid 110 provided on apex of the chamber 109, multiple electronic sprayer 111 attached with a vessel 112 configured inside the chamber 109, a motorized disc 113 installed with inner side wall of the chamber 109 equipped with multiple bristles 114, a motorized iris hole 115 configured on bottom portion of the chamber 109, a motorized air blower 116 installed inside the chamber 109, a motorized grinding unit 117 installed inside the chamber 109, an electronic valve 118 attached with the chamber 109.

[0024] The figure 1, further comprises of a conduit 119 lined with the valve 118 and gradually inside a mixing compartment 120 installed underside the chamber 109, a multi-sectioned receptacle 121 stored inside the mixing compartment 120, a motorized nozzle 122 attached with each of the receptacle 121, a circular slider 123 positioned at a top surface of the housing 101, directly above the mixing compartment 120, a collapsible stirring rod 124 mounted on the circular slider 123, a storage box 125 installed inside the housing 101, connected with the mixing compartment 120 via a hollow tube 126, a hollow duct 127 extends from bottom portion of the storage box 125, radiates on front wall of the housing 101, and an electronic spout 128 integrated with the duct 127 and a tray 129 provided beneath the chamber 109.

[0025] The proposed device comprises of a cuboidal housing 101 made up of any material that includes but not limited to metallic material, alloy, alike and utilize to handle by a user. The housing 101 is encased with various components associated with the device arrange in sequential manner that aids in identification and extraction. Upon securing the housing 101 around the user by accessing a pair of straps 102 installed with the housing 101, the user activates the device manually by pressing a switch button associated with the device and integrated with the housing 101. The button mentioned herein is a type of a switch that is internally connected with the device via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conducting electricity that tends to activate the device and vice versa. After activation of the device by the user, a microcontroller associated with the device generates commands to operate the device accordingly.

[0026] After activating of the device, the microcontroller activates an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 103 integrated within the housing 101 to determine presence and size of the user. The imaging unit 103 mentioned herein comprises of comprises of a camera and processor that works in collaboration to capture and process the images of the surrounding of the housing 101.The camera firstly captures multiple images of the surrounding, wherein the camera comprises of a body, electronic shutter, lens, lens aperture, image sensor, and imaging processor that works in sequential manner to capture images of the surrounding.

[0027] After capturing of the images by the camera, the shutter is automatically open due to which the reflected beam of light coming from the surrounding due to light is directed towards the lens aperture. After that the reflected light beam passes through the image sensor. The image sensor now analyzes the beam to retrieve signal from the beams which is further calibrate by the sensor to capture images of the surrounding in electronic signal. Upon capturing images, the imaging processor processes the electronic signal into digital image. When the image capturing is done, the processor associated with the imaging unit 103 processes the captured images by using a protocol of artificial intelligence to retrieve data from the captured image in the form of digital signal.

[0028] The detected data in the form of digital signal is now transmitted to the linked microcontroller based on which the microcontroller acquires the data to process the size of the user. Based on the size of the user, the microcontroller generates commands to actuate a pair of motorized rollers 104 integrated within the housing 101 and coiled with straps 102 for rotating on its axis to properly fit the straps 102 around the user. The rollers 104 are driven by an electric motor, provide the necessary torque to rotate the rollers 104. When the microcontroller sends a signal, the motor activates, causing the rollers 104 to rotate in clockwise and anticlockwise direction as per detected dimension to wrap and unwrap to securely fit the strap with the user.

[0029] The user now can accesses a touch enabled display panel 105 assembled on the apex portion of the housing 101 to give input commands regarding type of diseases or health condition being faced by the user for curing with the medicinal plant that is being extracted. For instance, if the user inputs "cold and cough," the microcontroller processes the input and selects specific medicinal plants known for therapeutic properties, such as tulsi or ginger. The device then extracts and dispenses the required portion of the medicinal plant extract. Similarly, for a condition like "digestive issues," the device suggests and extract suitable plants, such as mint or fennel, enabling the user to utilize the extract for alleviating the condition.

[0030] The display panel 105 mentioned herein works by using LCD (liquid crystals) that are manipulated by electric currents to control the passage of light through the display unit. When an electric current is applied, the liquid crystals align in a way that either allows light to pass through or blocks it, creating the images and colors that is being visible in the LCD of the display panel 105 regarding the regarding the type of diseases or health condition of the user that is further register as input and saved in database of the microcontroller to process the input given by the user.

[0031] Upon processing the input, the microcontroller direct an image recognition module integrated with the imaging unit 103 to detect presence of a plant required for treating the user-specified health condition. Herein, the image recognition module operates by employing advanced computer vision techniques to analyze the images captured by the imaging unit 103. The module uses a pre-trained machine learning model, which has been trained on a database of various plant species and distinct features, such as leaf shape, color, vein patterns, and size. The present invention involves a database that is stored with various types of diseases and corresponding plant extracts that can be used for treating such type of diseases.

[0032] The image recognition module mentioned herein first preprocesses the captured image by enhancing contrast, removing noise, and segmenting the plant from its background. After that the module extracts unique features of the plant and compares against the stored dataset. If a match is identified, the module classifies the plant and verifies its medicinal relevance based on the condition specified by the user. The identified plant's details, including plant name and potential applications that are relayed back to the microcontroller for further processing. The processing by the microcontroller ensures accurate and efficient detection of the plant relevant to the user’s health requirements.

[0033] Based on plant required to provide relaxation to the user, the microcontroller actuates a holographic projection unit 106 mounted on the housing 101, to project light onto the plant’s surface to assist the user in plant identification. The holographic projection unit 106 comprises of holograms, shutter, beam splitters, diverging lenses and a mirror utilized to project holograms. Firstly, the projector emits the laser beam and passed through the shutter to impact on the beam splitter. After the impact of laser beam, the splitter splits the laser beam into two directions.

[0034] First part is passed through a diverging lens where it scatters to impact on the mirror and produce reflected beam and another part is passed to another mirror directly where it reflects the beam and pass through another diverging lens. After then, the reflected beam from first part falls on the plant to produce resultant beams on the plant to assist the user in identifying the plant required to treat the user based on that the user place the housing 101 along the identified plants for proper extract. After the user moves towards the plant, the microcontroller directs an articulated arm 107 integrated with a V-shaped cutting unit 108 attached with the housing 101 to cut different parts of plant that are collected inside a chamber 109 installed inside the housing 101. The articulated arm 107 works by a combination of motors, sensors, and jointed segments. Using servo motors for precise movement, the arm 107 navigates to the desired part of the plant to move and position the cutting unit 108. Once in position, the V-shaped cutting unit 108, powered by an electric mechanism, to cut different parts of plant.

[0035] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates an iris lid 110 integrated at apex portion of the chamber 109 to open for collecting the cut plant. The iris lid 110 operates by using a series of interconnected, overlapping segments that form a circular aperture. When the microcontroller sends a signal, a motor-driven actuator or servo mechanism engages a gear or cam unit attached to the segments causes the segments to retract or slide outward in a coordinated manner, enlarging the aperture to permit the entry of the different parts of plant into the chamber 109.

[0036] After that the microcontroller actuates an electronic sprayer 111 attached with a vessel 112 configured inside the chamber 109 for continuously sprinkling water on over plant pieces for removing dust and dirt from the plant. The sprayer 111 works by using a pump mechanism that draws water from the vessel 112. Upon receiving a command from the microcontroller, the pump generates sufficient pressure to force water through a nozzle 122 of the sprayer 111. The nozzle 122 is designed to atomize the water into fine droplets, ensuring an even and consistent spray across the plant pieces for continuously sprinkling water on over plant pieces for removing dust and dirt from the plant.

[0037] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates a pneumatic unit integrated with a telescopically operated link and equipped with motorized disc 113 installed with inner side wall of the chamber 109 to extend for positioning the disc 113 on the cut plant. The pneumatic unit comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves i.e. Inlet and outlet valve and piston that works in collaboration to aid extension and retraction of the link. The air compressor is coupled with a motor that gets activated by the microcontroller to compress the air from surroundings upon entering from the inlet valve to compressed and pumped out via the outlet valve. The air valve allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder.

[0038] The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston moves. And upon closing of the valve, the compressed air exit out from the cylinder thereby decreasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The increasing and decreasing of the air pressure from the cylinder aids in movement of the piston in a to and fro direction that turns in aiding extension and retraction of the link for positioning the disc 113 on the cut plant. Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates a motor coupled with the disc 113 to rotate the disc 113 with specified speed to scrub the plant pieces via multiple bristles 114 integrated with the disc 113 for cleaning the cut plants.

[0039] During cleaning of the cut plants, a motorized iris hole 115 configured on bottom portion of the chamber 109 are actuated by the microcontroller to drain out water that is rinsed from the cut plants during scrubbing. The iris hole 115 works through a set of interlocking, fan-like blades arranged in a circular configuration. When the microcontroller sends a command, a miniature motor connected to the iris hole 115 mechanism activates, causing the blades to rotate outward in a synchronized manner. This creates a circular opening that allows the water to flow out. The waste water tickles down through the hole 115 and is collected inside a tray 129 provided beneath the chamber 109. Herein, a moisture sensor is integrated inside the chamber 109 to detect moisture level within the plant pieces.

[0040] The moisture sensor mentioned herein works by utilizing a capacitive sensing principle to measure the moisture content within the plant pieces. The sensor generates an electric field and measures the dielectric constant of the plant pieces. Since water has a much higher dielectric constant than plant material, the sensor detects variations in the moisture level based on changes in capacitance, providing a direct correlation to the moisture level. The moisture sensor relays real-time data to the microcontroller based on which the microcontroller regulates actuation of a motorized air blower 116 installed inside the chamber 109 to dry the plant pieces effectively. The blower 116 operates by utilizing an electric motor to drive a centrifugal fan housed within a protective casing.

[0041] Upon receiving commands from the microcontroller, the motor activates, causing the fan blades to rotate at high speed. This rotation generates a stream of high-velocity air, which is directed through an outlet positioned inside the chamber 109 towards the plant pieces to dry the plant pieces effectively. After that the microcontroller actuates a motorized grinding unit 117 installed inside the chamber 109 to grind the plant pieces into a fine power. The grinding unit 117 works by utilizing an electric motor to drive a rotating shaft equipped with sharp, durable grinding blades. Upon receiving commands from the microcontroller, the motor activates, causing the shaft and blades to rotate at high speed. The plant pieces are fed into the grinding chamber 109, where the rotating blades create shear and cutting forces to break down the plant material into fine powder.

[0042] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates an electronic valve 118 attached with the chamber 109 to open and transfer the fine power towards a conduit 119 lined with the valve 118 inside a mixing compartment 120 installed underside the chamber 109. The valve 118 operates by utilizing an electronically controlled solenoid mechanism. Upon receiving a command from the microcontroller, an electric current passes through the solenoid, generating a magnetic field that activates a plunger or diaphragm within the valve 118. This movement opens the valve 118, allowing the fine powder to flow from the chamber 109 into the conduit 119 transfer gradually inside the mixing compartment 120.

[0043] Upon transferring of the fine powder in the compartment 120, based on user-specified health conditions and preferences, the microcontroller actuates a motorized nozzle 122 attached with each of multi-sectioned receptacle 121 stored inside the mixing compartment 120 to dispense optimal amount of distilled water, petroleum and methanol from the receptacle 121 inside the mixing compartment 120. The nozzle 122 includes solenoids, piezoelectric actuators, or motor-driven mechanisms that converts electrical signals into mechanical motion. The nozzle 122 is controlled by a control unit that sends electrical signals to the actuation mechanism.

[0044] The control unit includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) or analog voltage control. The primary function of the nozzle 122 is to control the opening and closing of the nozzle’s orifice or aperture. Upon receiving the appropriate electrical signal by the actuation mechanism, it initiates the motion that opens or closes the nozzle 122. This action controls the flow of the distilled water, petroleum and methanol through the nozzle 122. The nozzle 122 allows precise control over the flow rate and direction of the distilled water, petroleum and methanol. By modulating the actuation mechanism according to the desired parameters, the nozzle 122 is capable to regulate the flow and provide accurate dispensing of the distilled water, petroleum and methanol in the mixing compartment 120.

[0045] After that the microcontroller actuates a circular slider 123 positioned at a top surface of the housing 101, directly above the mixing compartment 120 continuously rotates a collapsible stirring rod 124 mounted on the circular slider 123 in a circular motion to stir the mixture. The slider 123 consists of a rail unit that provides a guided path for linear movement. The rail unit usually includes a pair of parallel rails or tracks, along which the slider 123 moves. The slider carriage, also called a stage or platform equipped with a mechanism to minimize friction and ensure smooth motion.

[0046] The slider 123 incorporates a motor and a drive mechanism to generate linear motion. The motor is connected to a drive mechanism, such as a belt, lead screw, or ball screw. The drive mechanism converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, propelling the slider carriage along the rail unit to translate the collapsible stirring rod 124 in a circular motion to stir the distilled water, petroleum and methanol to form a mixture. Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates a motorized iris unit integrated with a storage box 125 installed inside the housing 101 to transfer the mixture inside the storage box 125 via a hollow tube 126. The iris unit works by using a set of interlocking blades arranged in a circular formation. When actuated by the microcontroller, a small motor connected to the iris unit activates, causing the blades to rotate outward in a synchronized manner, gradually creating an opening. This controlled movement allows the mixture to flow through the iris unit and into the storage box 125 via the hollow tube 126.

[0047] A Peltier unit is integrated inside the storage box 125 to maintain an optimal temperature inside the box 125 for proper storage by evaporating solvent and leave behind the concentrated extract. The Peltier unit works by utilizing thermoelectric effect, where current is passed through two different types of conductors, causing heat to be absorbed on one side (cold side) and released on the other side (hot side). The cold side of the Peltier unit is positioned inside the storage box 125, drawing heat away from the mixture and thereby cooling the box 125 to the desired temperature. As the temperature is lowered, the solvent within the mixture evaporates, leaving behind the concentrated extract. The hot side of the Peltier unit is typically connected to a heat sink or dissipating surface to expel the absorbed heat to maintain the optimal temperature to store the mixture for the user.

[0048] Additionally, if the user desires to utilize the concentrated plant extract, the user give input commands in the display panel 105 based on that the microcontroller processes the input and actuates an electronic spout 128 installed with a hollow duct 127 extends from bottom portion of the storage box 125, radiates on front wall of the housing 101 for controlled dispensing of the concentrated plant extract. The electronic spout 128 works by utilizing a motorized valve mechanism, which is controlled by the microcontroller based on the user input commands. When the user requests the dispensing of the concentrated plant extract, the microcontroller activates the motorized valve mechanism, causing it to open allows the concentrated extract to flow through the hollow duct 127 that extends from the bottom portion of the storage box 125 to the front wall of the housing 101 to allow the user to access and use the mixture for curing the disease or improving the health condition.

[0049] Moreover, a GPS (Global Positioning System) module is integrated within the microcontroller to detect user's real-time location, providing navigational assistance to the user, guiding them to nearby medicinal plants based on real-time location and plants available in that area. The GPS module works receiving signals from a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. These signals contain time and position data, which the GPS module uses to calculate the device’s exact location by triangulating the signals from multiple satellites. The microcontroller processes this data, converting it into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). By integrating this location information with a database of known medicinal plant locations, the module is able to provide real-time navigational assistance to the user. The GPS module continuously updates the user's location, enabling the microcontroller to guide the user to nearby medicinal plants available in their vicinity, enhancing the efficiency of plant identification and collection.

[0050] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to offer power to all electrical and electronic components necessary for their correct operation. The battery is linked to the microcontroller and provides (DC) Direct Current to the microcontroller. And then, based on the order of operations, the microcontroller sends that current to those specific electrical or electronic components so the user effectively carry out their appropriate functions.

[0051] The present invention works best in following manner that includes the cuboidal-shaped housing 101 developed to be hand-held by a user installed with the pair of straps 102 for securing the housing 101 around user. Herein, the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 determines dimensions of the user, based on the detected dimensions, the microcontroller actuates the pair of motorized rollers 104 coiled with straps 102 for rotating on its axis to properly fit the housing 101 and straps 102 around the user. After that the touch enabled display panel 105 is access by the user to provide input regarding type of diseases or health condition of the user, wherein the imaging unit 103 is integrated with an image recognition module that accesses nearby plants, and upon detecting presence of a plant require for treating the user-specified health condition, the microcontroller actuates the holographic projection unit 106 to project light onto the plant’s surface to assist the user in plant identification. Herein, the articulated arm 107 integrated with a V-shaped cutting unit 108 is guided by the microcontroller to cut different parts of plant that are collected inside the chamber 109. After that the motorized lid 110 is regulated by the microcontroller for controller collection of the plant. Herein, the electronic sprayer 111 continuously sprinkling water on over plant pieces for removing dust and dirt from the plant.

[0052] In continuation, the telescopically operated link actuated by the microcontroller to extend, followed by actuation of the disc 113 to rotate for scrubbing the plant pieces via the bristles 114. After that the motorized iris hole 115 drain out water post cleaning. Herein, the moisture sensor is detects moisture level within the plant pieces, based on which the microcontroller regulates actuation of the motorized air blower 116 to dry the plant pieces effectively. After that the motorized grinding unit 117 actuated by the microcontroller to grind the plant pieces into a fine power based on that the electronic valve 118 is actuated by the microcontroller to open and transfer the fine power towards the conduit 119 lined with the valve 118 and gradually inside a mixing compartment 120 installed underside the chamber 109. Based on user-specified health conditions and preferences the microcontroller regulates actuation of the motorized nozzle 122 to dispense optimal amount of the distilled water, petroleum and methanol inside the mixing compartment 120. After that the circular slider 123 having the collapsible stirring rod 124 continuously rotates in a circular motion to stir the distilled water, petroleum and methanol to form a mixture, that is further transferred inside the storage box 125 installed inside the housing 101, connected with the mixing compartment 120 via a hollow tube 126, integrated with a motorized iris unit. Herein, the hollow tube 126 extends from bottom portion of the storage box 125, radiates on front wall of the housing 101, based on that the electronic spout 128 for controlled dispensing of the concentrated plant extract.
