[0034] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this invention belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention discloses an energy-saving kiln 10 for making ceramic casseroles, which includes: a kiln body 100, a water storage tank 200; the kiln body 100 and the water storage tank 200 are connected by an exhaust pipe 300. In this embodiment, the water storage tank 200 is provided with a water inlet 201 and a water outlet 202, and the water storage tank 200 includes a tank body 210 and a cover plate 220 covering the tank body 210.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the energy-saving kiln 10 for making ceramic casseroles further includes a plurality of Chinese herbal medicine storage cans 400 arranged in the water storage tank 200.

[0039] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, specifically, the Chinese herbal medicine storage can 400 includes: a deformable tank body 410, a bearing 420, a turbine 430, a piston assembly 440. The deformable tank body 410 has an open end 411 and a closed end 412. The open end 411 of the deformable tank body 410 is rotatably arranged on the exhaust pipe 300 through the bearing 420, and the turbine 430 is arranged at the open end 411 of the deformable tank body 410. In this embodiment, the deformable tank body 410 is an aluminum tank body.

[0040] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the side surface of the deformable tank body 410 is penetrated with a plurality of oblique cutting and dividing grooves 413, and each oblique cutting and dividing groove 413 extends from the open end 411 of the deformable tank body 410 to the closed end 412.

[0041] As Figure 5As shown, the piston assembly 440 is disposed at the open end 411 of the deformable tank body 410. The piston assembly 440 includes a movable piston 441 and an elastic member 442 for providing an elastic restoring force to the movable piston 441. In this embodiment, the elastic member 442 is a cylindrical spring.

[0042] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, an expansion sleeve 450 is provided on the inner side of the deformable tank body 410.

[0043] As Figure 8 shown, the high-temperature gas in the kiln body 100 passes through the exhaust pipe 300 to push the movable piston 441 to move. The movable piston 441 causes the deformable tank body 410 to expand and deform through the expansion sleeve 450, and multiple inclined cutting slots 413 are opened, so that the side surface of the deformable tank body 410 forms propeller blades;

[0044] The high-temperature gas in the kiln body 100 passes through the exhaust pipe 300 to drive the turbine 430 to rotate, and the turbine 430 further drives the deformable tank body 410 to rotate around the bearing 420;

[0045] When the high-temperature gas in the kiln body 100 does not pass through the exhaust pipe 300, the elastic member 442 urges the movable piston 441 to reset. The movable piston 441 blocks the open end of the deformable tank body 410, and the deformable tank body 410 restores its deformation and stops rotating.

[0046] As Figure 6 shown, specifically, regarding the expansion sleeve 450, it includes a collar 451 and multiple expansion strips 452 provided on the collar 451. The expansion strips 452 become thicker from thin from the open end 411 to the closed end 412 of the deformable tank body 410 (as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown).

[0047] Furthermore, the piston assembly 440 further includes a limit guiding column 443 (as Figure 5 shown). One end of the limit guiding column 443 is fixed to the turbine 430, and the movable piston 441 and the elastic member 442 are slidably sleeved on the limit guiding column 443.

[0048] Next, the working principle of the energy-saving kiln 10 for making ceramic casseroles will be described as follows:

[0049] Place the sandbag with Chinese herbal medicine in the Chinese herbal medicine storage tank 400, and then rotatably install the Chinese herbal medicine storage tank 400 on the exhaust pipe 300 through the bearing 420;

[0050] Add clear water to the pool body 210 through the water inlet 201, and cover the cover plate 220;

[0051] Place the ceramic casserole blank to be fired in the furnace body 100, and the furnace body 100 performs firing treatment on the ceramic casserole blank;

[0052] When the air pressure in the furnace body 100 reaches the preset threshold, the high-temperature gas inside it will reach the Chinese herbal medicine storage tank 400 through the exhaust pipe 300;

[0053] As Figure 8 shown, the high-temperature gas will push the movable piston 441 to move. The movable piston 441 causes the deformable tank body 410 to expand and deform through the expansion sleeve 450. Multiple oblique cutting slots 413 are opened, and the side surface of the deformable tank body 410 forms propeller blades. At the same time, the high-temperature gas in the furnace body 100 drives the turbine 430 to rotate through the exhaust pipe 300, and the turbine 430 then drives the deformable tank body 410 to rotate around the bearing 420;

[0054] In this way, on the one hand, the high-temperature gas will directly impact the sandbags in the tank body, so that the Chinese herbal medicine essence in the sandbags can be fully extracted. On the other hand, the deformable tank body 410 expands and rotates outward, and the formed propeller blades will stir the water body, making the Chinese herbal medicine essence mix more evenly with the water body;

[0055] When the air pressure in the furnace body 100 drops below the preset threshold, the high-temperature gas in the furnace body 100 does not pass through the exhaust pipe 300. The elastic member 442 urges the movable piston 441 to reset, and the movable piston 441 seals the open end of the deformable tank body 410, and the deformable tank body 410 restores deformation and stops rotating;

[0056] In this way, multiple oblique cutting slots 413 are re-closed, and the movable piston 441 seals the open end of the deformable tank body 410. The oblique cutting slots 413 and the movable piston 441 form two barriers to prevent the water body from flowing back to the furnace body 100 through the exhaust pipe 300 when there is a large temperature difference inside and outside the pool;

[0057] Every day, the furnace body 100 fires the ceramic casserole in multiple batches, and the high-temperature gas will also pass through the exhaust pipe 300 to reach the Chinese herbal medicine storage tank 400 multiple times, realizing high-temperature extraction of the Chinese herbal medicine in the tank body and full mixing with the water body;

[0058] After work, the workers who have worked for a day can open the water outlet 202 and use the Chinese herbal medicine mixture in the pool to better remove the dirt on their bodies, make the workers' bodies healthier, and enhance the workers' sense of happiness;

[0059] Since the Chinese herbal medicine sandbags are placed in the tank body, the residues inside it will not fill the entire pool. As long as the Chinese herbal medicine sandbags in the tank body are taken out, the replacement is very convenient.

[0060] It should be noted that if the Chinese herbal medicine sandbag is directly placed in the reservoir 200, it is very difficult for the high-temperature gas to extract the essence from the Chinese herbal medicine sandbag. Since the high-temperature gas generated in the kiln body 100 cannot continuously heat the water in the pool body, and the heating temperature is also extremely limited. To solve this technical problem, the present invention particularly places the Chinese herbal medicine sandbag in the deformable tank body 410. Then, the high-temperature gas generated in the kiln body 100 will directly impact the Chinese herbal medicine sandbag in the tank body. The Chinese herbal medicine sandbag in the tank body is in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. The Chinese herbal medicine in the sandbag is directly heated by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and its essence can be fully extracted. Immediately afterwards, when the gas pressure in the tank body reaches a certain value, the deformable tank body 410 expands outward and rotates, and the Chinese herbal medicine essence is discharged outside the tank body through the inclined cutting slot 413 (the inclined cutting slot 413 only opens a small opening, so that the Chinese herbal medicine sandbag is still as much as possible in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment). Along with the rotation of the deformable tank body 410, and the side surface of the deformable tank body 410 forms a propeller blade, which can be more evenly mixed with the water body.

[0061] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the invention patent should be subject to the appended claims.
