Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a vacuum concentration tank for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] A traditional Chinese medicine vacuum concentration tank is a device used for the extraction and concentration of traditional Chinese medicine. Its main feature is that heating, stirring, and evaporation are carried out in a vacuum environment. This equipment can effectively reduce the moisture content of Chinese medicinal materials, increase the extraction rate of active ingredients, and at the same time preserve the original flavor and nutrients of the Chinese medicine.

[0003] Existing vacuum concentration tanks for traditional Chinese medicine typically heat the liquid medicine by installing electric heating tubes inside the tank. However, these heating tubes can only heat a localized area of ​​the liquid medicine, failing to provide uniform heating and resulting in incomplete contact between the liquid medicine and heat, thus affecting the concentration efficiency. Therefore, we propose a vacuum concentration tank for processing traditional Chinese medicine to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a vacuum concentration tank for processing traditional Chinese medicine.

A thermometer 28 and a pressure gauge 29 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the vacuum concentration tank 1.

[0018] In this embodiment, the branch pipes 15 are arranged in pairs in a symmetrical structure.

[0019] In practical use, the motor 9 can drive the main pipe 10 to rotate, and the main pipe 10 can synchronously drive the branch pipe 15 to rotate, so that the branch pipe 4 can stir the medicine liquid inside the vacuum concentration tank 1, which can prevent the medicine liquid sediment from settling at the bottom and affecting the subsequent evaporation effect of the medicine liquid. At the same time, the steam generator 14 can generate steam and introduce it into the main pipe 10, and the steam then flows from the main pipe 10 into each branch pipe 15, so that the high temperature generated on the surface of the branch pipe 15 can come into full contact with the medicine liquid. Thus, the branch pipe 15 can stir the medicine liquid and heat it at the same time, so that the medicine liquid can be heated evenly.

[0020] At the same time, the main pipe 10 can synchronously drive the scraper 18 to rotate along the inner wall of the vacuum concentration tank 1, thereby scraping off the coked or scaled material on the inner wall.

[0021] In this embodiment, the steam outlet holes 17 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the steam outlet pipe 16.

[0022] In practical use, when steam is introduced into the main pipe 10, the steam inside the main pipe 10 can also be introduced into the steam outlet pipe 16, and the steam inside the steam outlet pipe 16 is then discharged into the vacuum concentrator 1 through the steam outlet hole 17, thereby further improving the heating effect.

[0023] In this embodiment, the two fans 8 are arranged in a symmetrical structure, with the left fan 8 serving as the air intake and the right fan 8 serving as the air outlet, and the coil 5 is in close contact with the inner wall of the vacuum concentration tank 1.

[0024] In practical use, the fan 9 on the left can draw the steam and heat inside the vacuum concentrator 1 into the conduit 6, and then guide it into the coil 5 through the conduit 6. At the same time, the fan 9 on the right can draw the steam and heat out of the coil 5, which can increase the speed of gas flow. Thus, the steam and heat can circulate back and forth inside the coil 5, thereby further improving the heating effect inside the vacuum concentrator 1. The residual heat inside the vacuum concentrator 1 can be used to heat the inner wall of the vacuum concentrator 1, which can increase the contact area between the liquid medicine and the heat and improve the concentration efficiency.

[0025] In this embodiment, the filter screen 25 is adapted to the inside of the liquid inlet hood 23.

[0026] In practical use, the medicine poured into the liquid inlet hood 23 can be filtered through the filter screen 25, thereby preventing impurities from being mixed into the medicine and affecting the subsequent concentration effect.

[0027] In this embodiment, the viewing window 24 corresponds to the interior of the liquid container 22.

[0028] In practical use, the amount of liquid inside the liquid cylinder 22 can be easily determined through the viewing window 24, and the amount of liquid pumped into the vacuum concentration tank 1 each time can be easily determined through the scale line 2401 on one side of the viewing window 24, which is convenient for later recording.

[0029] In this embodiment, the control panel 2 is electrically connected to the motor 9, steam generator 14, liquid pump 26, and fan 8.

[0030] In actual use, the operating status of the motor 9, steam generator 14, liquid pump 26, and fan 8 can be controlled through the control panel 2.

[0031] The working principle of a vacuum concentration tank for processing traditional Chinese medicine mentioned in this invention is as follows: When in use, the medicine poured into the liquid inlet hood 23 can be filtered through the filter screen 25, thereby preventing impurities from being mixed into the medicine and affecting the subsequent concentration effect of the medicine. Meanwhile, the amount of liquid inside the liquid cylinder 22 can be easily determined through the viewing window 24, and the scale line 2401 on one side of the viewing window 24 can be used to determine the amount of liquid pumped into the vacuum concentrator 1 each time, which is convenient for later recording. Then, the motor 9 drives the main pipe 10 to rotate, and the main pipe 10 can synchronously drive the branch pipe 15 to rotate, so that the branch pipe 4 can stir the medicine liquid inside the vacuum concentration tank 1, which can prevent the medicine liquid sediment from settling at the bottom and affecting the subsequent evaporation effect of the medicine liquid. At the same time, the steam generator 14 can generate steam and introduce it into the main pipe 10, and the steam then flows from the main pipe 10 into each branch pipe 15, so that the high temperature generated on the surface of the branch pipe 15 can come into full contact with the medicine liquid. Thus, the branch pipe 15 can stir the medicine liquid and heat it at the same time, so that the medicine liquid can be heated evenly. At the same time, when steam is introduced into the main pipe 10, the steam inside the main pipe 10 can also be introduced into the steam outlet pipe 16, and the steam inside the steam outlet pipe 16 is then discharged into the vacuum concentrator 1 through the steam outlet hole 17, thereby further improving the heating effect. At the same time, the main pipe 10 can simultaneously drive the scraper 18 to rotate along the inner wall of the vacuum concentrator 1, thereby scraping off the coked or scaled material on the inner wall. Then, the fan 9 on the left can draw the steam and heat inside the vacuum concentrator 1 into the conduit 6, and then guide it into the coil 5 through the conduit 6. At the same time, the fan 9 on the right can draw out the steam and heat inside the coil 5, which can increase the speed of gas flow. Thus, the steam and heat can circulate back and forth inside the coil 5, thereby further improving the heating effect inside the vacuum concentrator 1. The residual heat inside the vacuum concentrator 1 can be used to heat the inner wall of the vacuum concentrator 1, which can increase the contact area between the liquid medicine and the heat and improve the concentration efficiency.
