[0040] The stirring mechanism 3 is used to stir the Chinese medicinal pieces in the inner pot body 103 and to scrub the inner wall of the inner pot body 103;

[0041] The inner circulation mechanism 4 is used to promote the circulation of steam between the outer pot body 102 and the inner pot body 103;

[0042] The unloading mechanism 5 is used to drive the outer pot body 102 to rotate as a whole to unload.

[0043] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism 2 includes a steamer cover 201, a reduction motor 202 and four hydraulic cylinders 203;

[0044] Among them, the inner wall of the steamer cover 201 is slidingly connected to the outer walls of the outer pot body 102 and the inner pot body 103, the reduction motor 202 is installed in the middle of the upper surface of the steamer cover 201, and four hydraulic cylinders 203 are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the steamer cover 201. The piston rods of the four hydraulic cylinders 203 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer frame 101. The steamer cover 201 is driven by the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinders 203 to move as a whole toward the outer pot body 102, so as to seal the outer pot body 102 and the inner pot body 103, and the connecting head 302 is inserted into the connecting groove 303 to connect the central axis 301 and the reduction motor 202.

[0045] In one embodiment, the stirring mechanism 3 includes a central shaft 301, a connecting head 302, a connecting groove 303, a plurality of stirring frames 304, and a plurality of bristles 305;

[0046] Among them, the central axis 301 is arranged inside the inner pot body 103, the connecting head 302 is arranged at the top of the central axis 301, the connecting groove 303 is opened at the bottom of the output shaft of the reduction motor 202, the connecting head 302 can be formed as a whole or separated from the connecting groove 303 to achieve disassembly, a number of stirring frames 304 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the central axis 301, a number of bristles 305 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of the stirring frames 304, the top of the inner wall of the inner pot body 103 is fixedly connected with the inner bracket 61, the top of the outer wall of the central axis 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inner bracket 61 through a bearing, the rotating central axis 301 drives the stirring frame 304 and the impeller 401 to rotate, the rotating stirring frame 304 stirs the Chinese herbal medicine slices, and the moving stirring frame 304 drives the bristles 305 to brush the inner wall of the inner pot body 103.

[0047] In one embodiment, the internal circulation mechanism 4 includes an impeller 401 and a filter cartridge 402;

[0048] Among them, the filter cartridge 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the inner pot body 103, the bottom of the outer wall of the central axis 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 402 through a bearing, and the impeller 401 is installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the central axis 301. The rotating impeller 401 cooperates with the filter cartridge 402 to extract the steam in the inner pot body 103 and discharge it between the outer pot body 102 and the inner pot body 103, and then the holes on the inner pot body 103 are used to allow the steam to re-enter the interior of the inner pot body 103.

[0049] In one embodiment, the unloading mechanism 5 includes a servo motor 501 and two connecting shafts 502;

[0050] Among them, one end of the two connecting shafts 502 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side wall of the outer pot body 102, and the other end is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the outer frame 101 through a bearing. In this way, when the connecting shaft 502 rotates, it can drive the outer pot body 102 to rotate relative to the outer frame 101. Further, the servo motor 501 is installed on one side of the outer frame 101, and the output shaft of the servo motor 501 is fixedly connected to one end of a connecting shaft 502. In this way, when the output shaft of the servo motor 501 rotates, the connecting shaft 502 fixedly connected thereto rotates.

[0051] The connecting shaft 502 is rotated by the output shaft of the servo motor 501 to drive the outer pot body 102 to move as a whole, and the moving outer pot body 102 is tilted so that the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the inner pot body 103 can be poured out.

[0052] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the outer pot body 102 is evenly connected to a steam joint 62, and one end of the steam joint 62 is connected to a steam delivery pipe 63. The steam delivery pipe 63 cooperates with the steam joint 62 to inject high-temperature steam into the interior of the outer pot body 102 and discharge excess steam therefrom.

[0053] When the utility model is in operation: Chinese herbal medicine pieces to be steamed are added to the interior of the inner pot body 103, and then steam is injected into the interior of the outer pot body 102 through the steam delivery pipe 63 in cooperation with the steam joint 62, and then the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 203 drives the steamer cover plate 201 as a whole to move toward the outer pot body 102, so as to seal the outer pot body 102 and the inner pot body 103, and the connector 302 is inserted into the connecting groove 303, so that the central shaft 301 can be assembled with the output shaft of the reduction motor 202 to form a whole.

[0054] When the hydraulic cylinder 203 completes the action, the output shaft of the reduction motor 202 drives the central shaft 301 to rotate using the connector 302 and the connecting groove 303. The central shaft 301 rotates to drive the stirring frame 304 and the impeller 401 to rotate. The stirring frame 304 rotates to achieve stirring of the Chinese herbal medicine slices. At the same time, the bristles 305 on the stirring frame 304 can brush the inner wall of the inner pot body 103 to prevent debris from being deposited in the inner pot body 103. In addition, after the rotation, the impeller 401 can cooperate with the filter cartridge 402 to extract the steam in the inner pot body 103 to discharge it into the cavity between the outer pot body 102 and the inner pot body 103. The holes on the steam inner pot body 103 enter the interior of the inner pot body 103 again. In this way, the steam is promoted to circulate between the outer pot body 102 and the inner pot body 103, making the steam distribution more uniform and ensuring the cooking effect.

[0055] When the steaming process of the Chinese herbal medicine pieces is completed and unloading is required, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 203 drives the steamer cover 201 to move upward as a whole, thereby separating the steamer cover 201 from the inner pot body 103, so as to open the steamer cover 201 and slide the connecting head 302 out of the connecting groove 303. When the hydraulic cylinder 203 completes the action, the output shaft of the servo motor 501 uses the connecting shaft 502 to drive the outer pot body 102 to move as a whole, and the moving outer pot body 102 is tilted so that the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the inner pot body 103 can be poured out to complete the unloading operation.

[0056] The above are only specific implementations of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
