[0023] In addition, the flattening and scraping mechanism 8 includes a screw rod 81, a second motor 82, a movable plate 83 and a scraper 85. The two ends of the screw rod 81 are respectively rotatably connected to the cooking box 1. The second motor 82 is fixed to the outside of the cooking box 1 through a motor mounting bracket. The output shaft of the second motor 82 is connected to the screw rod 81 through a coupling. The movable plate 83 is slidably connected to the guide rod 84 in the cooking box 1 and is spirally connected to the screw rod 81 through a screw nut. The scraper 85 is inserted into the slot 831 at the lower end of the movable plate 83 and its two ends are respectively slidably connected to the sliding rods 832 on both sides of the movable plate 83. The sliding rod 832 is provided with a spring 833 between the scraper 85 and the movable plate 83. Drive blocks 834 are respectively fixed on both sides of the movable plate 83 and extend out of the movable plate 83. The drive blocks 834 face the slag outlet A slope 1 8341 is provided on one side of 12, and an extrusion block 13 corresponding to the driving block 834 is provided on the cooking box 1 above the slag outlet 12.

A slope 4 851 cooperating with the slope 3 8611 is provided in the middle of the scraper 85. The scraper 85 is provided with a positioning groove 852 cooperating with the insert block 861 directly below the slope 4 851. A connecting rod 87 slidably connected to the movable plate 83 is fixed at the other end of the guide member 86. A stop block 871 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 87. A spring 2 872 is sleeved between the stop block 871 and the movable plate 83.

[0024] In addition, a slag hopper 14 is provided at the bottom of the slag outlet 12 at the bottom of the cooking box 1 .

[0025] Specific implementation and principle:

[0026] In actual application of the present invention, when Chinese herbal medicine slices are not added to the cooking box 1, the movable plate 83 is close to the extrusion block 13, and the scraper 85 is retracted to the slot 831 of the movable plate 83 under the action of the elastic force of the spring 2 872. At this time, the insert 861 on the guide member 86 is inserted into the positioning groove 852 on the scraper 85 to fix the scraper 85. The Chinese herbal medicine slices to be cooked are fed into the cooking box 1 through the medicine feed hopper 2, and then the medicine feed hopper 2 is fixed to the cover plate 21 thereon by an industrial buckle. Then, appropriate water is added to the cooking box 1 through the water inlet pipe 5 on the top plate 11, and then the waterproof heating in the cooking box 1 is started. The rod 3 steams the Chinese herbal medicine slices, and then the second motor 82 is started. The output shaft of the second motor 82 drives the movable plate 83 to move toward the side away from the extrusion block 13 through the screw rod 81. During the movement of the movable plate 83, the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the cooking box 1 are flattened. When the stopper 871 of the connecting rod 87 on the movable plate 83 contacts the inner wall of the cooking box 1, the connecting rod 87 is squeezed and drives the guide member 86 to move, and the insert block 861 is disengaged from the positioning groove 852 on the scraper 85. Under the action of the elastic force of the spring 833 on the slide bar 832, the scraper 85 extends from the slot 831 on the movable plate 83 and It contacts the bottom of the cooking box 1. When the Chinese herbal medicine slices are cooked, first open the valve 71 on the medicine outlet pipe 7 to discharge the medicine into the collection bucket, then close the valve 71, and then turn on the first motor 63. The gear 631 on the output shaft of the first motor 63 drives the sealing plate 61 to move through the rack 64 on the sealing plate 61, and the slag outlet 12 is opened. Then the output shaft of the second motor 82 is controlled to reverse, and the moving plate 83 moves toward the direction of the extrusion block 13. When the stop block 871 is separated from the cooking box 1, under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 872, the insert block 861 on the guide member 86 moves toward the direction of the slot 831, and the scraper 85 scrapes the medicinal residue in the cooking box 1 toward the residue outlet 12. When the driving block 834 contacts the extruding block 13 on the cooking box 1, the scraper 85 is driven to move upward. The inclined surface 4 851 on the scraper 85 drives the insert block 861 to move away from the slot 831 through the inclined surface 3 8611 on the insert block 861. When the positioning groove 852 on the scraper 85 corresponds to the insert block 861, under the action of the elastic force of the spring 2 872, the insert block 861 is inserted into the positioning groove 852 of the scraper 85, thereby causing the scraper 85 to retract into the slot 831 of the movable plate 83. Then, another batch of Chinese herbal medicine slices can be steamed again.

[0027] The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the present utility invention and technical solution are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
