Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of health wine concentration, and particularly to a concentration device for processing ginseng and epimedium health wine. Background Technique

[0002] Ginseng and epimedium, as traditional Chinese medicinal materials, play an important role in the production of health wine. Ginseng is rich in active ingredients such as ginsenosides and polysaccharides, and has the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, improving intelligence and calming the nerves; epimedium contains icariin, flavonoids, etc., which helps to tonify the kidney and strengthen yang, and strengthen muscles and bones; Therefore, people often make health wine by combining ginseng, epimedium and other plant components to make it have good health care effects.

[0003] In the production process of ginseng and epimedium health wine, it is necessary to extract the active ingredients of ginseng and epimedium. At present, it is mostly extracted by traditional steaming and heating technology. However, during the steaming and extraction process, ginseng and epimedium are affected by high temperature, and it is difficult to efficiently and completely retain their active ingredients. There may also be harmful substances produced, affecting the quality and efficacy of health wine. Moreover, the heat loss and energy consumption in this process are relatively large, often consuming a lot of energy, but getting a solution with a poor concentration effect. Therefore, it is necessary to design a concentration device for processing ginseng and epimedium health wine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the technical problems in the background technique, the present invention proposes a concentration device for processing ginseng and epimedium health wine.

[0005] A concentration device for processing ginseng and epimedium health wine proposed by the present invention includes a bracket. At the top of the bracket, there is a concentration tank for heating and concentrating the solution. A reflux pump and a vacuum pump are installed outside the concentration tank. In the middle of the top of the concentration tank, there is a feed pipe. The Chinese medicinal material mixed solution is injected into the concentration tank through the feed pipe, and there is a valve at the upper end of the feed pipe.

[0006] Inside the concentration tank, there are an independent heating chamber and a condensation chamber. The extraction end of the vacuum pump is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the heating chamber, the discharge end of the vacuum pump is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber, the extraction end of the reflux pump is connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber, and the discharge end of the reflux pump is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the heating chamber.

[0007] The steam generated in the heating chamber is transmitted to the condensation chamber by the vacuum pump for condensation. The steam condensate converges at the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber and is refluxed to the heating chamber through the reflux pump for re-heating and concentration.

[0008] The concentration tank includes a housing, an inner tank and a tank cover. The housing is installed at the upper end of the bracket. The inner tank is arranged inside the housing and is coaxially centered. The upper ends of both the housing and the inner tank are open and are covered and sealed by the tank cover. The space between the inner tank and the housing forms a condensation chamber.

[0009] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a condensation plate is installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber. The inner cavity of the condensation chamber is divided into an upper end and a lower end by the condensation plate, so that a steam chamber is formed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber. A converging pipe is installed at the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber. The lower end of the steam chamber is connected to the upper end of the converging pipe through a diversion pipe. The lower end of the converging pipe is connected to the extraction end of the reflux pump.

[0010] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a heating element that is coaxially centered and rotatable is installed inside the inner tank. A heat conduction plate that can rotate synchronously with the heating element is installed on the heating element.

[0011] The heating element has a main heating pipe and two sub-heating pipes. The main heating pipe is rotatably installed at the center of the lower end of the inner cavity of the inner tank. The two sub-heating pipes are symmetrically installed on both sides of the main heating pipe. The heat conduction plate is fixedly sleeved on the main heating pipe, and both ends of the heat conduction plate are respectively connected to the sub-heating pipes on both sides. After the main heating pipe and the two sub-heating pipes are energized for heating, the heat conduction plate can conduct heat, which can improve the heating uniformity of the solution in the inner tank. Then, by driving the main heating pipe to rotate through an external driving mechanism, the rotational heating of the solution in the inner tank can be realized, which is beneficial to improving the actual concentration efficiency and concentration effect.

[0012] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a first sealing member for sealing the upper opening of the inner tank and a second sealing member for sealing the upper opening of the housing are installed on the lower end surface of the tank cover. Both the first sealing member and the second sealing member are annular sealing members, and the second sealing member is arranged on the periphery of the first sealing member.

[0013] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the vacuum pump includes a second pump body, a second extraction pipe and a second discharge pipe. The second pump body is arranged on one side of the housing. One end of the second extraction pipe is communicated with the upper end of the inner cavity of the inner tank. The other end of the second extraction pipe is connected to the extraction end of the second pump body. One end of the second discharge pipe is connected to the discharge end of the second pump body. The other end of the second discharge pipe is communicated with the upper end of the inner cavity of the housing.

[0014] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the reflux pump includes a first pump body, a condensate storage tank, a condensate drain pipe, a first extraction pipe, and a first discharge pipe. The first pump body is arranged on the other side of the housing. The top of the condensate storage tank has a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The liquid inlet of the condensate storage tank is connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the housing through the condensate drain pipe. One end of the first extraction pipe is inserted into the liquid outlet of the condensate storage tank and extends downward to the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensate storage tank. The other end of the first extraction pipe is connected to the extraction end of the first pump body. One end of the first discharge pipe is connected to the discharge end of the first pump body. The other end of the first discharge pipe is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the housing.

[0015] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a discharge pipe is installed at the lower end of the housing. The upper end of the discharge pipe extends into the lower end of the inner cavity of the housing and is connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the inner tank. A waste residue filtering mechanism is installed at the lower end of the discharge pipe, and a waste residue box is arranged at the slag discharge port of the waste residue filtering mechanism.

[0016] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the number of the discharge pipes is two. The two discharge pipes are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower end of the inner cavity of the housing. The lower ends of the two discharge pipes are connected through a manifold, and the liquid outlet of the manifold is connected to the liquid inlet of the waste residue filtering mechanism.

[0017] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a solenoid valve is installed at the upper end of the discharge pipe. The solenoid valve is located between the housing and the inner tank and is controlled by an external controller.

[0018] The concentration device for processing ginseng and epimedium health wine proposed by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) Through the combined design of the housing, the inner tank and the tank cover, an independent heating chamber and a condensation chamber can be formed inside the concentration tank. Through the suction of the vacuum pump, the air in the inner tank is pumped out, thereby reducing the air pressure in the inner tank and forming a negative pressure environment in the inner tank, which helps to reduce the boiling point of the solution during heating, enabling the evaporation and concentration of the liquid at a lower temperature, thus reducing the energy consumption during the concentration process. At the same time, it can also prevent ginseng and epimedium from generating harmful substances under the influence of high temperature, which is conducive to efficiently and completely retaining their active ingredients, thereby improving the quality and efficacy of the health wine;

[0020] (2) When the solution is heated and concentrated under negative pressure in the heating chamber, steam will be generated. The steam is transmitted to the condensation chamber through a vacuum pump. Since the temperature in the condensation chamber is relatively lower than that in the heating chamber and the air pressure increases, the steam condenses and liquefies in the condensation chamber. The condensed liquid is then transmitted back to the inner tank through a reflux pump and mixed with the unevaporated solution, thus realizing the cyclic concentration of the solution. This helps to improve the actual concentration effect and concentration efficiency, and can also improve the extraction rate of the active ingredients of ginseng and epimedium as much as possible, thereby improving the concentration quality of the health wine.

[0021] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, become apparent in part from the following description, or be learned through the practice of the present invention. Brief Description of the Drawings

The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0028] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0029] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", "coupled", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communicable with each other; it may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and may be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, a concentration device for processing ginseng and epimedium health wine includes a bracket 1. A concentration tank 2 for heating and concentrating the solution is installed at the top of the bracket 1. A reflux pump 3 and a vacuum pump 4 are installed outside the concentration tank 2. The middle part of the top of the concentration tank 2 has a feed pipe. A Chinese medicinal material mixed solution is injected into the concentration tank 2 through the feed pipe, and a valve is provided at the upper end of the feed pipe.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown, the interior of the concentration tank 2 has an independent heating chamber and a condensation chamber. The extraction end of the vacuum pump 4 is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the heating chamber, the discharge end of the vacuum pump 4 is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber, the extraction end of the reflux pump 3 is connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber, and the discharge end of the reflux pump 3 is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the heating chamber;

[0033] The steam generated in the heating chamber is transmitted to the condensation chamber by the vacuum pump 4 for condensation. The steam condensate converges at the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber and is refluxed to the heating chamber through the reflux pump 3 for re-heating and concentration. Moreover, the suction effect of the vacuum pump 4 can also create a negative pressure environment in the heating chamber, enabling the solution in the heating chamber to be heated and concentrated under the negative pressure environment, which helps to reduce the boiling point of the solution, allowing the solution to be evaporated and concentrated at a lower temperature, helping to completely and efficiently retain the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, avoiding harmful substances that may be generated by high-temperature cooking, and also reducing heat loss and energy consumption, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and the production efficiency of the enterprise.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, the concentration tank 2 includes a housing 21, an inner tank 22 and a tank cover 23. The housing 21 is installed at the upper end of the bracket 1. The inner tank 22 is arranged inside the housing 21 and is coaxially centered. The upper ends of both the housing 21 and the inner tank 22 are open and are covered and sealed by the tank cover 23. The space between the inner tank 22 and the housing 21 forms the condensation chamber, and the inner cavity of the inner tank 22 is the heating chamber;

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the front screenshot of the condensation chamber is U-shaped, and a condensation plate 12 is installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber. The condensation plate 12 is annular and has an annular groove on its upper surface. Both sides of the annular groove extend upward and are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the housing 21 and the outer wall of the inner tank 22. The upper and lower ends of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber are separated by the condensation plate 12, so that a steam chamber 24 is formed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber. A converging pipe 25 is installed at the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber. The lower end of the steam chamber 24 is connected to the upper end of the converging pipe 25 through a guide pipe 13. The lower end of the converging pipe 25 is connected to the extraction end of the reflux pump 3;

[0036] When the vacuum pump 4 works, the vacuum pump 4 transmits the steam in the heating chamber to the steam chamber 24. Under the conditions of increased pressure and decreased temperature, the steam condenses and liquefies on the surface of the condensation plate 12. The condensate is transmitted to the converging pipe 25 through the guide pipe 13, and then the condensate is refluxed and discharged into the heating chamber through the reflux pump 3, so that the condensate is mixed with the un-concentrated solution for repeated concentration.

[0037] Specifically, a heating element 28 which is coaxially centered and rotatable is installed inside the inner tank 22, and a heat conduction plate 26 which can rotate synchronously with the heating element 28 is installed on the heating element 28;

[0038] Furthermore, the heating element 28 has a main heating tube and two sub-heating tubes. The main heating tube is rotatably installed at the center of the lower end of the inner cavity of the inner tank 22, and the two sub-heating tubes are symmetrically installed on both sides of the main heating tube. The heat conduction plate 26 is fixedly sleeved on the main heating tube, and both ends of the heat conduction plate 26 are respectively connected to the sub-heating tubes on both sides. After the main heating tube and the two sub-heating tubes are electrified and heated, the heat conduction plate 26 can conduct heat, which can improve the heating uniformity of the solution in the inner tank 22. Then, by driving the main heating tube to rotate through an external driving mechanism, the rotational heating of the solution in the inner tank 22 can be realized, which is beneficial to improving the actual concentration efficiency and concentration effect;

[0039] Furthermore, turbine blades 27 are installed on both the front and back of the heat conduction plate 26. The two turbine blades 27 are respectively arranged between the main heating tube and the adjacent sub-heating tube. When the driving mechanism drives the main heating tube and the sub-heating tubes to rotate, the heat conduction plate 26 drives the two turbine blades 27 thereon to rotate synchronously, while the blades of the turbine blades 27 rotate self - sufficiently, so as to stir the solution again, which is beneficial to increasing the stirring amplitude of the solution, thereby improving the actual heating and concentration effect;

[0040] The driving mechanism includes a motor and a transmission shaft 29. The motor is installed at the center of the upper end of the tank cover 23. The upper end of the transmission shaft 29 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The lower end of the transmission shaft 29 extends downward into the inner tank 22 and is clamped with the upper end of the main heating tube. By driving the transmission shaft 29 to rotate through the motor, the transmission shaft 29 drives the main heating tube and the two sub-heating tubes to rotate synchronously, so as to facilitate the rotational heating and concentration of the solution;

[0041] Furthermore, a connecting pipe is installed at the upper end of the main heating tube. A slot is opened on the inner wall of the connecting pipe. The outer wall of the lower end of the transmission shaft 29 has a limiting strip which is adapted to and corresponds to the slot. Through the insertion of the limiting strip into the slot, the transmission shaft 29 can drive the heating element 28 to rotate synchronously, so as to perform rotational heating on the solution in the inner tank 22;

[0042] Furthermore, a heating controller adapted to the heating element 28 is installed at the lower end of the inner tank 22. The heating controller is arranged at the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensation chamber. Due to the separation effect of the condensation plate 12, the hot steam transported to the upper end of the condensation chamber through the vacuum pump 4 is difficult to contact the heating controller, thus preventing the heating controller from being damaged by steam erosion;

[0043] The heating element 28 is a common electric heater in the prior art, and the heating controller is a conventional controller that matches it. A base adapted to the heating element 28 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the inner tank 22. The main heating pipe of the heating element 28 is rotatably connected to the base and has a shaft seal to prevent water from entering. The wire end of the heating controller extends into the base and is electrically connected to the main heating pipe through a conductive slip ring. The heating controller is connected to the power supply through an external wire, so as to realize the start-stop and power control of the heating element 28, etc. The connection between the heating controller and the heating element 28 and the heating control, etc. all belong to the prior art, so they will not be elaborated here;

[0044] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, a first seal 10 for sealing the upper opening of the inner tank 22 and a second seal 11 for sealing the upper opening of the outer shell 21 are installed on the lower end surface of the tank cover 23. Both the first seal 10 and the second seal 11 are annular seals, and the second seal 11 is arranged on the periphery of the first seal 10. The tank cover 23 can be installed on the upper opening of the outer shell 21 from top to bottom and locked by fasteners. The upper openings of the heating chamber and the condensation chamber are blocked by the first seal 10 and the second seal 11 respectively to ensure the independence of the heating chamber and the condensation chamber, and at the same time, it is also convenient to clean the interiors of the outer shell 21 and the inner tank 22.

[0045] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the vacuum pump 4 includes a second pump body 41, a second extraction pipe 42, and a second discharge pipe 43. The second pump body 41 is arranged on one side of the outer shell 21. One end of the second extraction pipe 42 is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the inner tank 22, the other end of the second extraction pipe 42 is connected to the extraction end of the second pump body 41, one end of the second discharge pipe 43 is connected to the discharge end of the second pump body 41, and the other end of the second discharge pipe 43 is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the outer shell 21;

[0046] During actual use, first start the second pump body 41 to extract the air in the inner tank 22 by the second pump body 41 to maintain a negative pressure environment in the inner tank 22, and then heat the solution in the inner tank 22 by the heating element 28, so that the solution generates steam when heated under the negative pressure environment. The steam enters the steam chamber 24 through the second extraction pipe 42, the second pump body 41, and the second discharge pipe 43 to be condensed and liquefied, thereby realizing the negative pressure concentration of the solution in the inner tank 22.

[0047] Specifically, as Figure 2As shown, the reflux pump 3 includes a first pump body 31, a condensate storage tank 32, a condensate drain pipe 33, a first extraction pipe 34, and a first discharge pipe 35. The first pump body 31 is disposed on the other side of the outer shell 21. The top of the condensate storage tank 32 has a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The liquid inlet of the condensate storage tank 32 is connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the outer shell 21 through the condensate drain pipe 33. One end of the first extraction pipe 34 is inserted into the liquid outlet of the condensate storage tank 32 and extends downward to the lower end of the inner cavity of the condensate storage tank 32. The other end of the first extraction pipe 34 is connected to the extraction end of the first pump body 31. One end of the first discharge pipe 35 is connected to the discharge end of the first pump body 31, and the other end of the first discharge pipe 35 is connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the outer shell 21;

[0048] Further, the condensate storage tank 32 is installed on the side of the bracket 1. One end of the condensate drain pipe 33 away from the condensate storage tank 32 is arranged obliquely upward and connected to the lower end of the converging pipe 25, so that the converging pipe 25 can introduce the condensate into the condensate storage tank 32 through the condensate drain pipe 33. Then, the first pump body 31 extracts the condensate in the condensate storage tank 32 through the first extraction pipe 34 and discharges it into the inner tank 22 through the first discharge pipe 35, realizing the re - reflux of the condensate, so as to perform multiple concentration on the solution, which is beneficial to improving the actual concentration effect. After heating and concentrating for a certain time, both the first pump body 31 and the heating element 28 stop working, and the condensate no longer refluxes. Instead, the second pump body 41 extracts the remaining steam from the inner tank 22. After the steam extraction is completed, the second pump body 41 stops working, thus realizing the high - concentration of the solution;

[0049] Further, a one - way valve is installed at one end of the first discharge pipe 35 close to the first pump body 31. By setting the one - way valve, the first pump body 31 can discharge the condensate into the inner tank 22, while the hot steam in the inner tank 22 is difficult to flow back through the first discharge pipe 35, ensuring that the hot steam can only reflux after condensation.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, a discharge pipe 5 is installed at the lower end of the outer shell 21. The upper end of the discharge pipe 5 extends to the lower end of the inner cavity of the outer shell 21 and is connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the inner tank 22. The inner tank 22 is fixedly supported in the outer shell 21 through the discharge pipe 5. A waste residue filtering mechanism is installed at the lower end of the discharge pipe 5, and a waste residue box 8 is arranged at the slag discharge port of the waste residue filtering mechanism, which is convenient for solid - liquid separation of the concentrated solution, and further for concentrating and purifying the solution.

[0051] Specifically, the number of the discharge pipes 5 is two, and the two discharge pipes 5 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower end of the inner cavity of the outer shell 21. The setting of the two discharge pipes 5 can improve the support stability of the inner tank 22. Multiple discharge pipes 5 can also be added. The lower ends of the two discharge pipes 5 are connected through a manifold 9, and the liquid outlet of the manifold 9 is connected to the liquid inlet of the waste residue filtering mechanism;

[0052] The manifold 9 is a tee pipe. The upper end of the manifold 9 has two liquid inlets which are respectively connected to the lower ends of the two discharge pipes 5. The lower end of the manifold 9 has a liquid outlet which is communicated with the liquid inlet of the waste residue filtering mechanism. The mixed solution after concentration in the inner tank 22 is injected into the waste residue filtering mechanism through the discharge pipe 5 and the manifold 9 to complete the separation and purification operation of the waste residue and the solution.

[0053] Further, a solenoid valve is installed at the upper end of the discharge pipe 5, and the solenoid valve is located between the outer shell 21 and the inner tank 22 and is controlled by an external controller. During the concentration heating process, the solenoid valve is in a normally closed state. When the concentration is completed, the solenoid valve is in a normally open state so that the mixed solution in the inner tank 22 can be discharged outward. Moreover, the solenoid valve is arranged here, which can also avoid the influence of steam or condensate, and at the same time solves the problem of inconvenient discharging during the negative pressure concentration of the device.

[0054] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the waste residue filtering mechanism includes a first filtering component 6 and a second filtering component 7 installed on the bracket 1, and the first filtering component 6 is arranged above the second filtering component 7. The liquid inlet of the first filtering component 6 is connected to the liquid discharge port of the manifold 9. The slag discharge port of the first filtering component 6 is communicated with the waste residue box 8. The liquid discharge port of the first filtering component 6 is connected to the liquid inlet of the second filtering component 7. The liquid discharge port of the second filtering component 7 is connected to the holding container. The mixed solution discharged from the manifold 9 passes through the first filtering component 6 and the second filtering component 7 in sequence to realize double filtration of the mixed solution, reduce the particulate impurities in the concentrated solution, and thus improve the taste of the health wine.

[0055] Further, as Figure 3 shown, the first filtering component 6 includes a first filtering box 61, a filtering hopper 62 and a slag discharge port 63. The first filtering box 61 is installed on the bracket 1, and the upper liquid inlet of the first filtering box 61 is connected to the lower liquid outlet of the manifold 9. An installation hole adapted to the filtering hopper 62 is opened in the middle of the lower end surface of the first filtering box 61. The tip cone of the filtering hopper 62 faces upward and has filtering holes on its surface. The lower end of the filtering hopper 62 is installed in the installation hole and is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the installation hole. The slag discharge port 63 is installed at the bottom of the first filtering box 61 and is located outside the filtering hopper 62. The waste residue box 8 is arranged at the lower outlet of the slag discharge port 63.

[0056] When the manifold 9 drains downward, the mixed solution enters the first filtration tank 61. The waste residue is filtered by the filter hopper 62. The solution after the first filtration enters the second filtration component 7 for re-filtration. The waste residue slides down along the slope of the filter hopper 62 to the slag discharge port 63, and then the waste residue is discharged downward into the waste residue tank 8 through the slag discharge port 63. If the waste residue accumulates too much in the first filtration tank 61, the door on the front of the first filtration tank 61 can be opened for manual cleaning;

[0057] Further, the second filtration component 7 includes a second filtration tank 71, a filter core 72, and a membrane filter core 73. The second filtration tank 71 is installed at the bottom of the first filtration tank 61 and is connected to the bottom opening of the filter hopper 62. The filter core 72 is installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the second filtration tank 71. The membrane filter core 73 is installed at the bottom of the second filtration tank 71 and is connected to the inner cavity of the filter core 72. The solution filtered by the essential oil filter hopper 62 enters the second filtration tank 71 and is subjected to membrane filtration through the filter core 72, so that small particle impurities are filtered again. The impurities remain in the second filtration tank 71, and the solution after the secondary filtration is discharged downward through the membrane filter core 73 and can be received by a containing container;

[0058] After filtering for a certain period of time, the filter core 72 completes the secondary filtration operation on the solution in the second filtration tank 71. The sealed door on the front of the second filtration tank 71 can be opened to clean the waste residue inside, or the filter core 72 can be cleaned and replaced;

[0059] Through the combined design of the first filtration component 6 and the second filtration component 7, the concentrated solution can be double-filtered, thereby improving the purity of the concentrated solution, reducing impurities, facilitating the subsequent processing of the health wine, and being beneficial to improving the taste and quality of the finished health wine.

[0060] In summary, through the combined design of the outer shell 21, the inner tank 22 and the tank lid 23, the present invention can form an independent heating chamber and a condensation chamber inside the concentration tank 2. Through the suction of the vacuum pump 4, the air inside the inner tank 22 is pumped out, thereby reducing the air pressure inside the inner tank 22 and forming a negative pressure environment inside the inner tank 22, which helps to reduce the boiling point of the solution during heating, enabling the evaporation and concentration of the liquid at a lower temperature, thus reducing energy consumption during the concentration process. At the same time, it can also prevent ginseng and epimedium from producing harmful substances under the influence of high temperature, which is conducive to efficiently and completely retaining their active ingredients, thereby improving the quality and efficacy of the health wine. When the solution is heated and concentrated under negative pressure in the heating chamber, steam will be generated. The steam is transmitted to the condensation chamber through the vacuum pump 4. Since the temperature in the condensation chamber is relatively lower than that in the heating chamber and the air pressure increases, the steam condenses and liquefies in the condensation chamber, and the condensed liquid is transmitted back to the inner tank 22 through the reflux pump 3 and mixed with the unevaporated solution, thereby realizing the cyclic concentration of the solution. This helps to improve the actual concentration effect and concentration efficiency, and can also improve the extraction rate of the active ingredients of ginseng and epimedium as much as possible, and then improve the concentration quality of the health wine.

[0061] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, making equivalent substitutions or changes, should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
