OBJECTIVE To perform a metrology analysis and data mining on pertinent paper and patents related to Chinese processing equipment, aiming to investigate the research context, current status, emerging trends, and challenges in the field, along with future development prospects of such equipment. METHODS The papers and patents related to processing equipment published in China over the years, which were included in the CNKI database, were retrieved. Excel, CiteSpace, and SPSS Modeler software were used to conduct descriptive,clustering, and association rule analysis on the processing equipment papers and patents. The results were combined to further summarize and analyze the current research status,emerging trends, and future development prospects of processing equipment. RESULTS In the end, a total of 68 Chinese paper and 614 Chinese patents were screened. In recent years, the publication volume of both Chinese paper and patents has exhibited a fluctuating upward trend. The analysis of keywords in Chinese paper shows that the research on processing equipment mainly focuses on processing technology, interdisciplinary research, and intelligent processing equipment. Intelligent research is currently and will be a hotspot in the future. According to the type of processing equipment, Chinese patents mainly involve drying, purification, and cutting. The change of mechanical movement form and the superposition of multi-mechanical movement form are the main innovation ways of the current processing equipment. There is some processing equipment with characteristic processing or multi-processing method. There is a lack of on-line monitoring equipment. CONCLUSION The annual publication volume of Chinese paper on processing equipment shows an increasing trend. It is predicted that the future research trends will mainly focus on the intelligentization of processing equipment, which will be initially reflected in the improvement of online monitoring technology. Promoting academic exchanges and scientific research cooperation between various teams and institutions will help promote further development in this field.
