TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of decoction pieces processing, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece cooking equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine cooking is divided into two kinds, the first kind is to add auxiliary materials, and then use the cooking method to make the auxiliary materials absorbed into the traditional Chinese medicine, this cooking method is mainly used for the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine products such as solid dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. In this case, the auxiliary material is usually water or other solvents, and through the cooking method, the active ingredients in the auxiliary material and the effective ingredients in the medicinal materials are fully dissolved and mixed, so that each piece of decoction piece can uniformly contain the active ingredients in the auxiliary material;

[0003] The second kind is to dilute the effective ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicinal materials into a solution by cooking to obtain an effective medicinal liquid, and this cooking method is used for the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine products such as liquid dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine extract and decoction. In this case, the traditional Chinese medicinal materials are added to water or other solvents for cooking, so that the effective ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicinal materials can be dissolved into the solution to form a medicinal liquid. This process is usually called decoction or soup making of traditional Chinese medicine, which aims to extract the effective ingredients from the traditional Chinese medicinal materials and prepare a traditional Chinese medicine decoction with certain medicinal effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

[0026] Referring to Figures 1-5 A traditional Chinese medicine decocting device includes a plurality of parallel and side-by-side arranged tube bodies 4, two liquid storage tanks 8, a rotating mechanism, and a heating element. The tube body 4 has a channel capable of containing traditional Chinese medicine. Each of the two ends of the tube body 4 is connected to one of the liquid storage tanks 8. The rotating mechanism can change the positions of the tube body 4 and the liquid storage tank 8, so that the two liquid storage tanks 8 are alternately located at the upper and lower ends of the tube body 4. The heating element can heat the liquid in the liquid storage tank 8 and / or the liquid flowing through the tube body 4.

[0027] When the device is used, traditional Chinese medicine is loaded into the tube body 4, and auxiliary medicine liquid to be soaked in the traditional Chinese medicine is loaded into one of the liquid storage tanks 8. The medicine liquid is heated and decocted by the heating element. Referring to Figure 1 The liquid storage tank 8 with the medicine liquid is located above the tube body 4. Under the action of gravity, the medicine liquid uniformly flows into each tube body 4. Under the restriction of the tube body 4, the medicine liquid cannot spread to the outside, but is limited in the tube body 4. The medicine liquid can more uniformly contact the traditional Chinese medicine in the tube body. Referring to Figure 2When all the liquid medicine flows into the lower liquid storage tank 8, the position of the two liquid storage tanks 8 is changed by the rotating mechanism, and the above steps are repeated until all the liquid medicine is immersed in the traditional Chinese medicine. The liquid medicine of the device only diffuses between the traditional Chinese medicine in the pipe body 4, and the direction of diffusion is more stable, ensuring the uniformity of diffusion. Since the traditional Chinese medicine and the pipe body 4 are relatively stationary, the integrity of the traditional Chinese medicine is better.

[0028] As an embodiment, the inner diameter of the pipe body 4 storing the traditional Chinese medicine chamber is 30-100mm, preferably 30-50mm. When the traditional Chinese medicine is filled, the radial size is not easy to be too large, reducing the problem of uneven lateral diffusion of liquid medicine. The smaller the radial size, the easier the auxiliary liquid medicine is to be more evenly immersed in the traditional Chinese medicine.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The liquid storage tank 8 has a chamber 9, and a plurality of second through holes 12 are arranged in a matrix on one side of the liquid storage tank 8 and are in communication with the chamber 9. Each pipe body 4 is in communication with one second through hole 12, and a screen 13 is installed in the second through hole 12. A pressure relief valve 7 is installed on the side of the liquid storage tank 8 away from the pipe body 4. The pipe body 4 is sealed at both ends by the screen 13 to prevent the traditional Chinese medicine in the pipe body 4 from entering the liquid storage tank 8. The pressure relief valve 7 is used to release the steam generated during cooking to prevent the internal pressure of the liquid storage tank 8 and the pipe body from being too high during cooking.

[0030] A valve plate 10 is slidably connected in the liquid storage tank 8. The valve plate 10 is provided with a first through hole 11 corresponding to the second through hole 12. A second power telescopic member 5 is fixedly installed outside the liquid storage tank 8. The telescopic end of the second power telescopic member 5 is fixed to the valve plate 10. The second power telescopic member 5 can drive the valve plate 10 to slide relative to the liquid storage tank 8, so that the valve plate 10 can close all the second through holes 12 or make each first through hole 11 communicate with one second through hole 12. The movement of the valve plate 10 is controlled by the second power telescopic member 5 to realize the opening and closing of the second through hole 12. The valve plate is provided to close the second through hole 12 during overturning. After the liquid storage tank with liquid medicine is located above, the second through hole 12 is opened to make the liquid medicine enter the plurality of pipe bodies 4 at the same time, ensuring the uniformity of the liquid medicine entering the pipe body.

[0031] As an embodiment, the rotating mechanism includes a support member connected to the two liquid storage tanks 8. A horizontally arranged support shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the support member. The support shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the rack 1 fixed to the ground. The support shaft 2 is drivingly connected to a rotating motor 14.
