Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, in particular to a decoction defoaming device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine originated in China. It is a medicine used to prevent, diagnose, treat diseases and regulate human functions under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. A key step in traditional Chinese medicine is to decoct the medicine. It is common to see foam in the process of boiling traditional Chinese medicine, because traditional Chinese medicine is made from Chinese herbal medicines, and some Chinese herbal medicines contain saponin drugs. Therefore, foam will appear after the water boils during the decoction process. Generally, human intervention is required to remove the foam. If the foam is not removed, a large amount of foam will accumulate on the surface of the liquid medicine, which will not only affect the patient's taste of the medicine, but also have a certain impact on the efficacy of the medicine itself.

[0003] Chinese patent application No. 2022115694556 discloses a decoction pot for Chinese medicine internal medicine and its use method. The foam is eliminated by setting a salvage mechanism and a defoaming mechanism. The foam on the liquid surface can be salvaged during the upward movement of the salvage mechanism, and the foam continues to rise so that the foam enters the first screen and cooperates with the second screen to rotate relative to the foam to generate shear force to eliminate the foam in the drying holes of the first screen. The above-mentioned foam elimination device is not only complex in structure and high in cost, but also requires power support, consumes energy, and is inconvenient in actual operation. It is difficult to break and eliminate foam with strong viscosity and high colloid content. This kind of foam will become larger or smaller, and the elimination effect is not very good. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a decoction defoaming device which can be switched between high temperature and low temperature and low pressure conditions, and the efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine treated by the present invention is not affected.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A decoction defoaming device, characterized in that it comprises a main body, the main body is arranged on the top of the decoction pot or located above the medicine liquid in the decoction pot, the main body comprises an outer cylinder (1) and an inner cylinder (2) with openings at both ends, the inner cylinder (2) is sleeved in the outer cylinder (1), the upper end of the outer wall of the inner cylinder (2) is fixed to the upper end of the inner wall of the outer cylinder (1), the inner cylinder (2) is a funnel structure with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, and the lower end surface of the funnel structure is flush with the lower end surface of the outer cylinder (1) or extends out of the lower end surface of the outer cylinder (1); the lower end surface of the inner cylinder (2) forms a steam release port for quickly releasing the steam in the foam.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of through holes (3) are provided on the upper portion of the outer cylinder (1) along the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder (1) for releasing the gas outside the foam from the through holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the plurality of through holes (3) are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder (1).

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the through hole (3) is 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the area of ​​the through hole (3) is one third of the area of ​​the circular hole on the lower end surface of the inner cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of the bodies are arranged on the top of the medicine decoction pot or above the medicine liquid inside the medicine decoction pot.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] 1. The foam generated during the decoction process of the present invention enters the inner cylinder during the rising process, and the gas in the foam is quickly released through the steam release port on the lower end surface of the inner cylinder, so that the foam is automatically eliminated.

[0014] 2. The present invention provides through holes on the outer cylinder wall for ventilation. The gas outside the foam is released from the through holes. After the gas outside the foam is released, the liquid flows back into the liquid medicine along the inner wall of the outer cylinder, which is conducive to eliminating the foam.

[0015] 3. The present invention does not require any power support, is easy to operate, and is difficult to eliminate for viscous and colloid-rich foams. The foamed rice can be eliminated cleanly without affecting the taste of the liquid medicine.

[0016] 4. In addition to being used for decocting Chinese medicine, the present invention can also be applied to areas that require the elimination of foam, such as pressure cooker cooking, food concentration, and chemical process concentration.

[0017] 5. The diameters of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder in the present invention can be adjusted in real time according to the size of the foam generated during actual application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
