[0046] Embodiment 1

[0047] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic flipping and lid closing mechanism for a medicine decocting pot, comprising:

[0048] A support frame 1, wherein a stopper 11 is disposed above the support frame 1. Preferably, a cushioning pad is disposed at the bottom of the stopper 11, and the cushioning pad may be made of a flexible material to reduce vibration;

[0049] An avoidance component 2, wherein the avoidance component 2 is slidably mounted on the support frame 1; and

[0050] A cantilever 3, one end of the cantilever 3 is connected to the avoidance component 2, and the other end of the cantilever 3 is provided with a pot cover 4;

[0051] The avoidance component 2 rises and simultaneously drives the cantilever 3 to rise. After the avoidance component 2 contacts the limit piece 11, the avoidance component 2 continues to rise and drives the cantilever 3 to rotate, completing the opening of the pot cover 4. During the opening process, the pot cover 4 is first vertically lifted a distance and then rotated to open, so as to avoid the edge of the pot cover 4 interfering with the edge of the decoction pot and causing a bump.

[0052] Preferably, it also includes a driving mechanism 5, which is arranged on the support frame 1, and the bottom of the avoidance component 2 is connected to the output end of the driving mechanism 5. The driving mechanism 5 drives the avoidance component to move back and forth, so that the pot cover 4 is automatically opened and closed. At the same time, in conjunction with the setting of the avoidance component, a group of driving mechanisms is realized to realize the lifting and rotation of the pot cover or rotate it to a horizontal position and engage with the pot body, so that the device structure is compact.

[0053] The driving mechanism 5 is preferably an electric cylinder, but is certainly not limited to the electric cylinder. Any driving method that can push the connecting plate 21 up and down is acceptable, such as cylinder transmission, hydraulic transmission, gear rack transmission, etc.

[0054] Preferably, a guide rod 12 is provided on one side of the support frame, and the avoidance component 2 is slidably arranged on the support frame 1 through the guide rod 12, so as to improve the stability of the avoidance component 2 during the lifting process.
