Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, and specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine decocting machine. Background Art

[0002] Traditional open-fire decocting depends on experience, and it is difficult to grasp the switching timing between high fire (strong fire) and low fire (gentle fire), which easily leads to the loss of medicinal efficacy (such as the evaporation of volatile oils) or insufficient extraction (such as hard medicinal materials not being cooked thoroughly). Moreover, open-pot decocting causes volatile components to be lost with steam, and it is difficult for the internal components of hard medicinal materials (such as Poria cocos and Astragalus membranaceus) to dissolve out. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, to solve the above deficiencies, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine decocting machine here.

[0004] The present invention is implemented as follows. A traditional Chinese medicine decocting machine is constructed. The device includes a main body. An electro-ceramic heating plate is installed below the main body. A temperature detection probe is installed on the heating plate. The heating plate is installed on the main body shell. A silicon crystal panel is installed above the heating plate. A heat dissipation fan is installed below the heating plate. A power main board is also installed inside the lower part of the main body. The heating plate, the fan, etc. are connected to the power main board.

[0005] Its characteristics are as follows: A liftable upper cover is installed on the upper part of the main body. Springs are installed around the upper cover. A limited-position card slot is provided on the upper cover. A lock button is also installed outside the upper cover. An anti-overflow probe is installed on the lower part of the upper cover. Exhaust holes are opened on the lower and upper parts of the upper cover. A silica gel gasket for sealing with the medicine pot mouth is installed on the lower part of the upper cover. After pressing down the liftable upper cover, the sealing gasket is compacted and sealed with the medicine pot mouth. A water temperature probe is also installed on the lower part of the upper cover to detect the temperature of the medicine pot. A control circuit board is installed inside the upper part of the main body. There is a display screen and touch buttons on the control circuit board. There is a cable connection between the control circuit board and the power main board. The water temperature probe and the anti-overflow probe on the upper cover are connected to the control circuit board.

[0006] In a feasible implementation, a heat preservation tank is placed at the other end of the main body. The inner side wall of the heat preservation tank is hollowed out and a diversion tube is placed. A phase change layer is wrapped around the outer wall of the diversion tube. One end of the diversion tube is connected to the exhaust hole in the upper area of the upper cover through a heat preservation tube.

[0007] In a feasible implementation, the other end of the diversion tube is connected to a condensation tube. A receiving tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the condensation tube. The lower opening of the receiving tube is threadedly connected to a measuring tube. Scale values are provided on the surface of the measuring tube.

[0008] In a feasible implementation, the other end of the condensation tube is threadedly connected to the inner side wall of a frame body. Activated carbon is provided inside the frame body.

[0009] In a feasible implementation manner, a chassis and a driving motor are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper cover.

[0010] In a feasible implementation manner, a driving gear is rotatably connected to the chassis. The driving gear meshes with a driven gear and is rotatably connected to the chassis.

[0011] In a feasible implementation manner, multiple groups of arc-shaped grooves are embedded on the surface of the driven gear. The arc-shaped grooves are in sliding fit with the convex rods, and the bottom of the convex rods is fixedly connected to the extrusion frame.

[0012] In a feasible implementation manner, the extrusion frame is slidably connected inside the chassis. A rubber layer is provided on the side wall of the outer edge of the extrusion frame. A deformable metal is fixedly connected to the side wall of the extrusion frame, and the deformable metal is fixedly connected to the insertion pin.

[0013] In a feasible implementation manner, a valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat preservation tank. An auxiliary motor is fixedly connected to the heat preservation tank. The output shaft of the auxiliary motor is fixedly connected to the driving shaft. The key shaft on the driving shaft slides into the key groove in the central area of the bottom of the receiving disc; a worm and worm gear set is rotatably connected inside the receiving disc. The center of the worm gear on the worm and worm gear set is fixedly connected to the center of the bidirectional screw. The bidirectional screw is in threaded connection with the driving rod. An insertion rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the driving rod. The insertion rod slides and inserts into the guiding groove. A shielding plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the driving rod. The two shielding plates are connected by a folding bag; the worm on the worm and worm gear set is fixedly connected to a handle, and the handle is rotatably connected to the receiving disc.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages: The present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine decocting machine by improvement. Compared with the same type of equipment, the following improvements are made:

[0015] For the traditional Chinese medicine decocting machine of the present invention, through the coordinated control of the electro-ceramic furnace heating plate, the temperature probe and the anti-overflow probe, combined with the preset three decocting modes (soaking, high fire, slow fire, heat preservation), it is ensured that different medicinal materials release effective ingredients at the optimal temperature and time; for example: in the high-fire stage (high-temperature boiling): quickly break the plant cell wall and release fat-soluble ingredients; in the slow-fire stage (slow decocting): avoid destroying heat-sensitive ingredients (such as glycosides, volatile oils) at high temperature; the automated process reduces manual intervention and avoids the problem of out-of-control heat in traditional decocting.

[0016] For the traditional Chinese medicine decocting machine of the present invention, distilled water is collected. The evaporation amount of the decocting water can be judged by scale measurement to assist in controlling the water addition amount; the driving motor drives the extrusion frame to periodically extrude the medicinal materials through a gear set to promote the exudation of the medicinal liquid; the insertion pins penetrate into the medicinal materials to increase the contact area with water and accelerate the release of ingredients; the deformable metal adjusts the angle of the insertion pins with the change of temperature and can also change the insertion angle of the medicinal materials.

[0017] The Chinese medicine decocting machine described in the present invention drives a bidirectional screw through a worm and worm gear set, so that two groups of baffle plates apply bidirectional mechanical pressure to the medicinal residues. Cooperating with the flexible seal of the folding bag, it ensures that the medicinal liquid is fully squeezed out. The auxiliary motor drives the receiving tray to rotate at a high speed, and the medicinal residues are thrown outward under the action of centrifugal force, so that the residual medicinal liquid quickly seeps out from the porous receiving tray, greatly reducing the amount of medicinal liquid adsorbed by the medicinal residues. The insertion rod slides in the guide groove, driving the receiving tray to rotate and move up and down at the same time, forming a vibration effect, further accelerating the separation of the medicinal liquid from the medicinal residues and improving the dripping efficiency. After the driving rod drives the insertion rod away from the guide groove, the entire receiving tray can be easily removed, facilitating the transfer of the medicinal materials in the receiving tray to other containers for subsequent processing or discarding, making the process of transferring the medicinal materials more convenient and reducing the difficulty and labor intensity of manual operation.

[0033] Embodiment 2:

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , for a traditional Chinese medicine decocting machine of the present invention, a heat preservation tank 17 is placed at the other end of the main body 1. A diversion pipe 18 is placed in a hollow manner on the inner side wall of the heat preservation tank 17. A guiding groove 171 is embedded in the inner side wall of the heat preservation tank 17. A phase change layer 19 is wrapped around the outer wall of the diversion pipe 18. One end of the diversion pipe 18 is communicated with the exhaust hole in the upper part area of the upper cover 7 through a heat preservation pipe. The other end of the diversion pipe 18 is communicated with a condensation pipe 20. A receiving pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the condensation pipe 20. The lower end opening of the receiving pipe 21 is threadedly connected to a measuring pipe 22, and scale values are provided on the surface of the measuring pipe 22.

[0035] Specifically, the other end of the condensation pipe 20 is threadedly connected to the inner side wall of a frame body 23, and activated carbon 24 is provided inside the frame body 23.

[0036] Specifically, a chassis 101 and a driving motor 102 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper cover 7.

[0037] Specifically, a driving gear 103 is rotatably connected to the chassis 101. The driving gear 103 meshes with a driven gear 104 and is rotatably connected to the chassis 101. Multiple arc-shaped grooves 105 are embedded on the surface of the driven gear 104. The arc-shaped grooves 105 are in sliding fit with a convex rod 106. The bottom of the convex rod 106 is fixedly connected to a pressing frame 107.

[0038] Specifically, the pressing frame 107 is slidably connected inside the chassis 101. A rubber layer 108 is provided on the outer edge side wall of the pressing frame 107. A phase change metal 109 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pressing frame 107. The phase change metal 109 is fixedly connected to a pin 1010.

[0039] When decocting the medicine, the steam enters the inside of the diversion pipe 18 through the upper cover 7. The diversion pipe 18 conveys the heat to the phase change layer 19, causing the phase change layer 19 to absorb heat. At the same time, the steam enters the inside of the condensation pipe 20 for condensation. Then the steam turns into water and drops to the bottom of the condensation pipe 20 and enters the inside of the measuring pipe 22 through the receiving pipe 21. Then the air is filtered by the activated carbon 24 inside the frame body 23 to remove the medicine smell;

[0040] When steaming the medicinal liquid, the driving motor 102 can be started to drive the driven gear 104 to rotate through the driving gear 103. The driven gear 104 drives the pressing frame 107 to move through the arc-shaped grooves 105 and the convex rod 106 to squeeze the medicinal materials inside. At the same time, the pin 1010 on the pressing frame 107 can be inserted into the inside of the medicinal materials;

[0041] When the temperature of the medicinal liquid inside rises, the phase change metal 109 deforms and changes the angle of the pin 1010.
