Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine production, and in particular to a medicine decoction mechanism in which a temperature sensor is arranged on a medicine decoction pot. Background Art

[0002] Decoctions are in line with the principle of TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation and addition and subtraction according to symptoms. In addition to being easy to prepare, having a wide range of solvent sources, and being non-irritating and non-side-effective, they also have the advantages of liquid preparations, namely, fast absorption and rapid efficacy. Decoctions are the most widely used dosage form in clinical practice.

[0003] In the early days of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, most of the utensils used for decocting medicine were eating utensils. In ancient times, pottery decocting utensils were more commonly used because the raw materials were easy to obtain and the manufacturing cost was low. At the same time, pottery utensils have stable chemical properties and have always been the main decocting utensils.

[0004] With the development of the times and the advancement of urbanization, it has become a burden for individuals to go home and decoct medicine due to various factors. Various places have launched Chinese medicine decoction services. Since Chinese herbal decoctions are dialectical treatments, one prescription for each person, and production relies heavily on manual labor. The current decoction machines mostly use cloth bags to wrap and decoct. Due to the insolubility of the decoction, and the extrusion and solid-liquid separation after decoction, some insoluble particles enter the liquid medicine, which seriously affects the quality of Chinese herbal decoctions; using cloth bags to wrap, soak and decoction, it is difficult to ensure that the effective part of the decoction pieces is dissolved, which affects the efficacy. Large-scale decoction centers urgently need to introduce intelligent decoction equipment that follows the traditional decoction process to meet the residents' growing demand for decoction and high-quality decoction services, improve the quality and management level of decoction, and promote high-quality development of the decoction industry.

[0005] When the existing medicine decoction pot is placed on a heating structure (stove, etc.) for heating, in order to realize the reliable wired transmission of information between the temperature sensor and the control center, the temperature in the medicine decoction pot is detected by setting a temperature sensor on the heating structure. This detection method detects the surface temperature of the medicine decoction pot and cannot know the internal temperature, resulting in poor consistency between the detected temperature and the actual temperature in the medicine decoction pot, that is, poor accuracy in temperature detection. Summary of the invention

[0006] The first object of the present invention is to provide a decoction mechanism in which a sensor is arranged on a decoction pot, so as to solve the problem of poor temperature measurement accuracy caused by arranging the temperature sensor on the heating structure in order to enable the temperature data of the mobile decoction pot to be transmitted to the control center by wire.

[0007] The second purpose of the present invention is to further provide a decoction mechanism in which a temperature sensor capable of weighing using a sensor circuit during a heating process is arranged on the decoction pot, thereby solving the problem that the existing weighing mechanism in which a scale is arranged on the heating device to directly support the decoction pot needs to be insulated, otherwise it is easily damaged.

[0008] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solutions: a decoction mechanism in which a temperature sensor is arranged on a decoction pot, comprising a decoction pot and a heating structure for heating the decoction pot, the decoction pot being removably supported on the heating structure, characterized in that a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the decoction pot and a decoction pot sensor wire connection joint are arranged on the decoction pot, the wire of the temperature sensor is connected with the sensor wire connection joint, the heating structure is provided with a heating structure sensor wire connection joint, and when the decoction pot is placed on the set position of the heating structure, the decoction pot sensor connection joint is connected with the heater sensor connection joint. This technical solution realizes that the temperature sensor is directly installed on the decoction pot to detect the temperature and feed it back to the control center. In the existing decoction pot, because the decoction pot needs to be separated from the heating structure, in order to realize the temperature feedback of the decoction pot to the control center, the temperature sensor is arranged on the heating structure to detect the temperature of the decoction pot, but the accuracy of the detected temperature of the decoction pot is poor, which cannot meet the requirements of accurate heating of the decoction pot, resulting in poor consistency of the quality of Chinese medicine.

[0009] Preferably, the medicine decoction pot sensor wire connection joint is provided with a medicine decoction pot conductive sheet, the medicine decoction pot conductive sheet is connected with the wire of the temperature sensor, the heater part sensor connection joint is provided with a heater part conductive head, and when the medicine decoction pot is placed on the set position of the heating structure, the medicine decoction pot conductive sheet and the heater part sensor connection joint conductive head are abutted together. When the medicine decoction pot is placed on the heating structure, the two connection joints can automatically abut together.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a supporting structure, which includes a supporting frame, a seesaw rod hinged on the supporting frame, and a connecting frame arranged on the medicine decoction pot, wherein the conductive head of the heater part is arranged at one end of the seesaw rod, and the other end of the seesaw rod is connected to the seesaw rod driving spring, and the conductive sheet of the medicine decoction pot part is arranged on the connecting frame, and the seesaw rod driving spring is used to drive the conductive head of the heater part and the conductive sheet of the medicine decoction pot part to abut together. The two connecting joints can be reliably abutted and fixed together, and can be reliably abutted together even if wear occurs. The position accuracy requirement of the connecting joints that are abutted and connected together is low, so that the convenience during production is good.

[0011] Preferably, the seesaw rod driving spring drives the seesaw rod to rotate in a direction that the conductive head of the heater part rotates upward, so that when the medicine decoction pot is placed on the heating structure from a small bottom, the seesaw rod can be driven to avoid and the conductive sheet and the conductive head can be reliably abutted together.

The temperature detection structure is used to realize weighing at the same time. During the weighing process, the spring scale can always remain vertical, that is, the force arm of the seesaw driving spring and the force arm of the medicine decoction pot can always remain constant, so that the weight can be accurately obtained when weighing by lever. The weight of the medicine decoction pot is 2*L1*F / L2, where L1 is the force arm when the seesaw driving spring drives the seesaw, F is the reading of the spring scale, and L2 is the force arm when the medicine decoction pot drives the seesaw.
