Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decocting devices, and particularly to an intelligent decocting machine for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine have been widely recognized worldwide. Since traditional Chinese medicine needs to be decocted into decoctions or ointments before taking, various types of decocting machines for decocting traditional Chinese medicine have emerged as the times require.

[0003] In a Chinese patent with the publication number CN210186059U, a medical decocting device is disclosed, which includes a decocting pot and a top cover. A motor is provided at the top of the top cover, and an electric push rod is led out from the bottom output end of the motor. The electric push rod is vertically arranged, and a turntable is provided at the bottom end of the electric push rod. A support disk is rotationally matched with the bottom of the turntable. A groove is formed on the upper surface of the support disk along the disk surface. The groove is arranged circumferentially along the disk surface of the support disk. A quantitative box is arranged in each groove. A conveying pipeline is arranged inside the top cover, which solves the problem that manual operation cannot accurately extract the required liquid medicine from the medicine pot. The decocted traditional Chinese medicine can be taken out quantitatively, and different extraction amounts can be selected according to actual medication needs.

[0004] Regarding the above related technologies, the inventor believes that although the above device can extract liquid medicine quantitatively, for the liquid medicine remaining in the medicine bag, it usually needs to be manually squeezed to release the liquid medicine in the medicine bag. Since the temperature of the medicine bag is relatively high, there is a defect that it is not convenient to squeeze the medicine bag, resulting in waste of liquid medicine. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Referring to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" described in this specification means that specific features, structures or characteristics described in combination with this embodiment are included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other some embodiments", "in still other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprise", "include", "have" and their variants all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0026] The following is combined with the attached Figures 1-5This application is further described in detail below.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] This embodiment of the present application discloses an intelligent Chinese medicine decocting machine. Referring to Figure 1 , it includes a machine body 1. Inside the machine body 1, there is a decocting cylinder 2. The upper end of the decocting cylinder 2 is open. A cylinder cover 3 that is easy to open is rotatably connected to the decocting cylinder 2 through a rotating shaft. Inside the machine body 1, there is a heating device for heating the decocting cylinder 2. The heating device is an annular heating coil 4, which is a ceramic heating coil.

[0029] The annular heating coil 4 will not deform after long-term use. With the same power, the contact surface is larger and the efficiency is higher, and it can save more than 20% of energy.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a squeezing airbag 5 is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the cylinder cover 3. The squeezing airbag 5 is a silica gel airbag. An air inlet pipe is connected to the cylinder cover 3, and an air pump for inflating and deflating the squeezing airbag 5 is externally connected to the air inlet pipe.

[0031] When the medicine is decocted, the squeezing airbag 5 is used to squeeze the medicine bag through the air pump, so that the liquid medicine in the medicine bag is fully extracted. The bottom of the squeezing airbag 5 is an arc-shaped bottom surface that bulges downward, so that the lowest part of the squeezing airbag 5 first squeezes the medicine bag, causing the medicine residues in the medicine bag to spread around, facilitating the flattening of the medicine bag. During the process of gradually inflating the squeezing airbag 5, the medicine bag is fully squeezed.

[0032] Compared with the traditional squeezing method, the advantages of squeezing with a silica gel airbag are

[0033] 1. More fitting and clean;

[0034] 2. Easy to replace and maintain;

[0035] 3. Low cost;

[0036] 4. The squeezing rod is removed, there is no problem of sealed liquid leakage, and bacteria breeding is avoided, which is safer.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a liquid outlet pipe 6 is connected to the bottom of the decocting cylinder 2. A medicine outlet pipe 7 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 6. A liquid medicine ball valve 8 is arranged on the medicine outlet pipe 7. A drain ball valve 9 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 6 below the medicine outlet pipe 7. When the liquid medicine ball valve 8 is opened and the drain ball valve 9 is closed, the liquid medicine flows out from the medicine outlet pipe 7. When the drain ball valve 9 is opened and the liquid medicine ball valve 8 is closed, the waste water is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 6. The liquid medicine and the waste water are discharged separately, which can effectively prevent cross-contamination.

[0038] Embodiment 2:

[0039] The difference from the first embodiment is that the extrusion airbag 5 includes a number of independent airbag units 10. The side walls of the number of airbag units 10 are fixedly connected together. A communication channel connecting adjacent airbag units 10 is provided on the airbag unit 10. The air inlet pipe is arranged on the airbag unit 10 near the central position, and the length of the airbag unit 10 gradually increases from the middle to the surrounding, so that the lower end of the extrusion airbag 5 has an upward concave arc-shaped bottom surface, which is used to imitate the operation of squeezing the medicine bag with fingers.

[0040] During the extrusion process, the airbag unit 10 in the middle position first squeezes the medicine bag, so that the medicinal residues in the middle position of the medicine bag spread towards the surrounding. During the gradual inflation process, the airbag units 10 located around gradually squeeze the medicinal residues around the machine, facilitating the full extrusion of the remaining liquid medicine in the medicine bag.

[0041] Embodiment Three:

[0042] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The difference from the first embodiment is that the extrusion airbag 5 includes a telescopic airbag 11 and a pressing airbag 12 connected to the bottom of the telescopic airbag 11. An air inlet hose 14 is connected to the air inlet pipe. The air inlet hose 14 extends into the pressing airbag 12. An air delivery pipe 15 connecting the telescopic airbag 11 is connected to the air inlet hose 14. A pressure valve 13 is arranged on the air delivery pipe 15. When the pressure in the pressing airbag 12 reaches the rated value, the pressure valve 13 opens, and the gas enters the telescopic airbag 11, and makes the telescopic airbag 11 move towards the medicine bag at the bottom to squeeze the medicine bag.

[0043] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A support disk 16 is fixed to the bottom of the decocting cylinder 2. A filter cylinder 17 is rotatably connected to the support disk 16. A through groove coaxial with the support disk 16 is provided at the bottom of the filter cylinder 17. The support disk 16 is located in the through groove and is rotatably connected to the filter cylinder 17 through a rotating shaft. The medicine bag is placed on the support disk 16 and the bottom wall of the filter cylinder 17 inside the filter cylinder 17. A torsion spring 18 is sleeved on the support disk 16. One end of the torsion spring 18 is fixed to the support disk 16 and the other end is fixed to the filter cylinder 17. When the filter cylinder 17 rotates a certain angle, the filter cylinder 17 is pulled to rotate in the reverse direction towards the starting position under the action of the torsion spring 18. A number of vertically arranged stirring rods 19 are fixed to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 17.

[0044] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5, a driving mechanism for driving the filter cylinder 17 to reciprocate and stirring the liquid medicine is arranged in the decocting cylinder 2. The driving mechanism includes a plurality of elastic membranes 20 arranged on the side wall of the pressing airbag 12. The elasticity of the elastic membrane 20 is greater than that of the pressing airbag 12. The same thinner material as the pressing airbag 12 can be selected. A plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 21 corresponding to the elastic membranes 20 are fixed on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 17. When inflating the pressing airbag 12, since the elastic membrane 20 is thinner, the elastic membrane 20 bulges outwards. During the bulging process, the elastic membrane 20 pushes the arc-shaped protrusion 21 to drive the filter cylinder 17 to rotate. When deflating the pressing airbag 12, the elastic membrane 20 returns to its initial shape and drives the filter cylinder 17 to rotate in the initial direction under the action of the torsion spring 18. By repeatedly inflating and deflating, the stirring rod 19 fully stirs the liquid medicine.

[0045] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , part of the medicine bag is located on the support plate 16 and part is located on the bottom wall of the filter cylinder 17. A plurality of turnover plates 22 are fixed on the bottom wall of the filter cylinder 17. When the filter cylinder 17 rotates, it drives the medicine bag to turnover, facilitating the full contact between the medicinal materials in the medicine bag and the liquid.

[0046] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Any equivalent modification or change made by those of ordinary skill in the art according to the disclosure of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
