Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] High-temperature steam decoction of traditional Chinese medicine is a modern method of traditional Chinese medicine preparation, which uses high-temperature steam to extract and decoct Chinese herbal medicine. Compared with the traditional water decoction method, high-temperature steam decoction can more quickly and efficiently extract the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, and has a gentle heating process that can better preserve the active ingredients of the herbs.

[0003] When high-temperature steam decoction of traditional Chinese medicine is performed, a tank device is used for processing, and steam is introduced into the interlayer of the double-layer tank to decoct the medicinal materials in the inner tank, thereby decocting the medicinal materials.

[0004] When the decoction operation is performed using the tank device, the medicinal materials cannot be uniformly heated during the decoction process. Since the high-temperature steam is introduced directly from below through the pipeline, it cannot be uniformly distributed in the interlayer of the tank, and it is not convenient to process the condensed water formed during the high-temperature steam decoction process, which will directly accumulate in the interlayer of the tank, easily affecting the introduction of high-temperature steam. The medicinal materials accumulated in the inner tank cannot move, causing uneven heating of the medicinal materials, and the floating scum produced during the decoction process floats on the medicinal liquid, affecting the observation of the medicinal liquid. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a decocting device for extracting traditional Chinese medicinal materials and a traditional Chinese medicine extraction process. SUMMARY
