Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concentration devices, and in particular to a device for extracting and concentrating traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of over 2,000 years in my country. It has the advantages of being effective, having definite curative effects, and having relatively few toxic side effects. With the popularization and development of traditional Chinese medicine, more and more Chinese patent medicines need to be produced using modern production processes and equipment. The Chinese medicine extraction and concentration device is an important part of this process. It can effectively separate the effective components from Chinese herbs, thereby improving the efficacy and purity of the medicine.

[0003] However, existing Chinese medicine extraction and concentration devices boil Chinese medicine with water. For herbs with hard texture or thick cell walls, it is difficult to extract the effective components during the preparation process, resulting in waste of herbs. Moreover, the current Chinese medicine extraction and concentration process also includes a manual slag removal process. However, manual slag removal is not only inefficient, but if the slag is not completely removed, it will affect the quality of the Chinese medicine extract concentrate.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the problems of the lack of a medicinal material crushing structure and the difficulty in handling the residue in the above-mentioned traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration devices, a traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration device can be designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problems of lack of medicinal material crushing structure and difficulty in handling medicinal residue in traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration devices.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration device, including a processing box, a feeding port, a pulverizer, a guide channel, a decoction barrel, a baffle, a juice outlet channel, and a stirring mechanism; the upper end of the processing box is provided with a feeding port for feeding traditional Chinese medicine raw materials; a pulverizer for pulverizing traditional Chinese medicine herbs to facilitate the extraction of effective components during subsequent decoction is installed inside the feeding port; a guide channel is provided in the middle of the processing box; the lower end of the guide channel is connected to a decoction barrel equipped with a heating element; a baffle for filtering medicinal residue is provided at the connection between the decoction barrel and the guide channel; a juice outlet channel for discharging the prepared traditional Chinese medicine extract concentrate is installed at the lower end of the decoction barrel; a stirring mechanism for stirring the medicinal liquid to prevent scorching is installed inside the decoction barrel.

[0007] Preferably, in the first step, the prepared Chinese herbal raw materials are put into the feeding port. The slope block inside the feeding port will guide the herbs to move towards the pulverizer. The drive motor of the pulverizer drives the active gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear and the rear pulverizing roller to rotate, pulverizing the herbs into a suitable size, so that the effective components can be extracted during the later decoction. The herbs slide from the guide channel to the surface of the baffle.

[0008] The second step is to add water to the processing tank, turn on the heating element and stirring mechanism in the decoction barrel, and start heating and decoction. The rotating motor controls the rotating shaft to drive the turning plate and scraper to rotate. The turning plate and scraper continuously stir the liquid to prevent the liquid from sticking to the bottom and to ensure even heating. As the liquid concentrates, the liquid level drops, and the baffle at the connection between the decoction barrel and the guide channel will block the dregs and only allow the liquid to pass through.

[0009] The third step is to open the valve inside the juice outlet after the decoction is finished. The inclined design of the juice outlet will allow the concentrated medicine to flow out smoothly.

[0010] Preferably, the crusher includes a drive motor, a drive gear, a driven gear, and a crushing roller; the drive gear is installed at the rear end of the output shaft of the drive motor; the driven gear is meshed with the side of the drive gear; and the crushing roller located inside the feed inlet is installed at the rear end of both the driven gear and the drive gear.

[0011] Preferably, a ramp is installed inside the feeding port to guide the input Chinese herbal medicines toward the pulverizer.

[0012] As a preferred option, a sliding door is installed at the upper end of the flow channel to facilitate the cleaning of the filtered medicinal materials.

[0013] As a preferred option, the juice outlet channel is designed with an incline; a valve is installed on the inner side of the juice outlet channel.

[0014] Preferably, the left end of the processing box is equipped with an inspection door with an observation window.

[0015] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a rotating motor, a rotating shaft, a tilting plate, and a scraper; the rotating shaft is installed at the rear end of the output shaft of the rotating motor; the tilting plates are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft in an annular pattern; and the scraper is fixedly connected to the side of the tilting plate near the inner wall of the decoction pot.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention incorporates a pulverizer inside the feeding port to pulverize medicinal materials into suitable sizes, which helps to more effectively extract the active ingredients during the decoction process, thereby improving extraction efficiency. A stirring mechanism inside the decoction pot continuously stirs the liquid, effectively preventing it from scorching at the bottom and ensuring its quality. A baffle screen at the connection between the decoction pot and the guide channel blocks dregs, allowing only the liquid to pass through, optimizing the manual dreg removal process, ensuring the purity of the Chinese medicine, and improving the quality of the prepared concentrated Chinese medicine juice.
