[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, a cleaning device 600 of a traditional Chinese medicine automatic production line according to the present invention includes: a first cleaning carrier 601, a second cleaning carrier 602, and a third cleaning carrier 603 sequentially arranged along a cleaning conveyor line; a flipping device 604, with a decocting pot conveyor line on one side along the rotation direction and a cleaning conveyor line on the other side.

[0025] Specifically, the first cleaning carrier 601 is a washing carrier, the second cleaning carrier 602 is a rinsing carrier, and the third cleaning carrier 603 is a drying carrier. The decocting pot is transported from the decocting pot conveyor line to the cleaning device station for cleaning. The flipping device 604 grabs the decocting pot and flips it by 180°, so that the decocting pot is in a state with the opening facing down during the cleaning process. In this way, during the cleaning process, the water flows out directly along the inner wall of the decocting pot due to its own weight, and there is not too much water left in the decocting pot. The cleaning conveyor line sequentially passes through the first cleaning carrier 601, the second cleaning carrier 602, and the third cleaning carrier 603. In one implementation, a flipping device 604 is provided at one end of the cleaning conveyor line close to the first cleaning carrier 601. The conveyor line transports the decocting pot to be washed to the flipping device 604. The flipping device 604 grabs the decocting pot and flips it onto the cleaning conveyor line. After the cleaning conveyor line transports the decocting pot through the cleaning carriers for cleaning in sequence, it then transports the decocting pot back to the manipulator 604 in the reverse direction. The flipping device 604 grabs the decocting pot and flips it onto the conveyor line for circulation. In another implementation, two flipping devices 604 are respectively provided at both ends of the cleaning carrier, namely the first flipping device and the second flipping device. The first flipping device flips the decocting pot from the production line upside down onto the cleaning conveyor line, and the second flipping device flips the decocting pot from the cleaning conveyor line back to the production line for circulation.

[0026] In this implementation, the flipping device 604 includes a bracket 6045; a flipping arm 6042, rotatably arranged on the bracket 6045, a claw for preventing detachment 6043, arranged on one side of the flipping arm 6042 and extending to the opening of the inner support assembly 120 in the decocting pot.

[0027] Specifically, the bracket 6045 is composed of a longitudinal rod, a cross rod, and a vertical rod connected to each other in pairs to form a hollow rectangular frame. The flipping arm 6042 is located above the bracket 6045. The flipping arm 6042 is controlled by a flipping motor 6041 to grab the outer periphery of the decocting pot and flip it. A claw for preventing detachment 6043 is arranged on one side of the flipping arm 6042 and extends towards the opening of the inner support assembly 120 in the decocting pot, so that a part of the claw for preventing detachment 6043 is located at the opening of the inner support assembly 120. There is a certain gap or contact between the part of the claw for preventing detachment 6043 at the opening of the inner support assembly 120 and the inner support assembly 120. The size of the gap is such that the inner support assembly 120 cannot fall out of the decocting pot during the flipping process, and the inner support assembly 120 will not collide with the decocting pot when the decocting pot is transported to the flipping station on the production line. The contact does not generate mutual force and will not collide during the movement. Through the claw for preventing detachment 6043 and the flipping arm 6042, the automatic flipping of the decocting pot is realized, preventing the inner support assembly 120 from falling out of the decocting pot during the flipping process, eliminating manual handling, and improving the operation efficiency.

[0028] In a further embodiment, the anti - detachment claw 6043 has a plate - like structure, is disposed on one side of the flipping arm 6042 near the opening of the decocting pot, and extends to abut against the inner support assembly 120.

[0029] Specifically, the flipping arm 6042 is U - shaped. The anti - detachment claw 6043 is rotatably disposed on the upper side of the bottom wall of the U - shaped opening. The flipping motor 6041 is connected to a rotating shaft 60411. The rotating shaft 60411 is connected to the flipping arm 6042 through a connecting rod 60421. The extending length of the connecting rod 60421 depends on the distance between the manipulator 604 and the conveying line and the cleaning conveying line. The anti - detachment claw 6043 has a plate - like structure and is rotatably disposed on one side of the flipping arm 6042 along the direction of the axis of the decocting pot near the opening. Taking the state where the anti - detachment claw 6043 supports the inner support assembly as an example, a rotating device is fixedly provided above the flipping arm 6042. The anti - detachment claw 6043 is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating device, extends a certain distance in the direction of the U - shaped opening from the rotating shaft, then extends vertically upward, and the extending distance depends on the height of the inner support assembly during the picking process. After vertically extending a certain distance, it then extends horizontally a certain distance. When the decocting pot is in the position of the manipulator 604, the anti - detachment claw 6043 is above the decocting pot, and the extending end extends obliquely upward.

[0030] In a further embodiment, the flipping arm 6042 is U - shaped, and the anti - detachment claw 6043 is a plate - like structure protruding and extending from within the U - shaped opening. The anti - detachment claw 6043 extends in the rotating direction of the flipping arm 6042 and then protrudes and extends toward the U - shaped opening.

[0031] Specifically, the flipping arm 6042 includes a connecting rod 60421 rotatably connected to a bracket 6045 and a claw 6044 at its end. The anti - detachment claw 6043 is disposed on the claw 6044. The support arm 60421 is U - shaped. The anti - detachment claw 6043 extends a certain distance along the rotating direction from the support arm 60421, and the extending distance is the distance from the position of the support arm 60421 corresponding to the decocting pot to the opening of the decocting pot, and then extends horizontally a certain distance toward the U - shaped opening until it reaches the opening of the inner support assembly 120. The extending manner can be arc - shaped extension or straight extension.

[0032] In a further embodiment, the anti - detachment claw 6043 is a plate - like structure protruding and extending from the bottom - arm opening of the U - shaped opening of the flipping arm 6042.

[0033] Specifically, the anti - detachment claw 6043 is formed by connecting two side arms and a bottom arm of the support arm 60421 to form a U - shape. The bottom arm of the anti - detachment claw 6043 extends vertically a certain distance along the rotating direction, and then extends horizontally a certain distance toward the U - shaped opening end.

[0034] In another embodiment, the anti-detachment claws 6043 are respectively arranged on the two side arms forming the U-shaped opening, and protrude and extend into the U-shaped opening from the side arms.

[0035] Specifically, there are two anti-detachment claws 6043, which are symmetrically arranged at the ends of the two side arms close to the U-shaped opening. The anti-detachment claws 6043 vertically extend along the rotation direction from the side of the U-shaped side arm close to the opening of the decocting pot, and after extending a certain distance, they horizontally extend towards the U-shaped opening, that is, the opening of the inner support assembly 120 of the decocting pot, so that the horizontally extending end of the anti-detachment claw 6043 is arranged with a gap or in contact with the inner support assembly 120. The anti-detachment claws 6043 extending on the side arms prevent the inner support assembly 120 of the decocting pot from falling during the flipping process.

[0036] In a further embodiment, a section of the anti-detachment claw 6043 at the opening of the inner support assembly 120 extends to the opening of the decocting pot on the side away from the flipping arm 6042.

[0037] Specifically, the anti-detachment claw 6043 extends to one end of the opening of the inner support assembly 120 away from the U-shaped inner arm of the flipping arm 6042, so that the anti-detachment claw 6043 covers the opening of the inner support assembly 120, more firmly preventing the inner support assembly 120 from falling during the flipping process.

[0038] In a further embodiment, a gasket is provided on the side of the anti-detachment claw 6043 facing the opening of the decocting pot. In a preferred embodiment, the gasket is made of an elastic material. There is a certain gap between the inner support assembly 120 and the anti-detachment claw 6043. During the flipping process of the decocting pot, the inner support assembly 120 will move towards the anti-detachment claw 6043 under the influence of its own weight, and a certain collision will occur during this process. The gasket provides a certain buffer for the sliding of the inner support assembly 120, avoiding damage to the decocting pot and / or the anti-detachment claw 6043 caused by the collision and affecting normal use.

[0039] In a further embodiment, a flipping motor 6041 is arranged on the bracket 6045. The flipping motor 6041 is connected to the flipping arm 6042 through a rotating shaft. One side of the flipping arm 6042 is provided with anti-detachment claws 6043 for preventing the inner support assembly 120 of the decocting pot from falling during the flipping process, and a claw 6044 for grasping and flipping the outer pot 110 is arranged at the end of the flipping arm 6042.

[0040] Specifically, two mounting brackets 60451 are symmetrically arranged on the bracket 6045. The rotating shaft 60411 is rotatably connected between the two mounting brackets 60451. A driving device for driving the rotating shaft 60411 is provided on one side of one of the mounting brackets 60451 away from the rotating shaft. The driving device can be a flipping motor 6041 or other existing achievable driving methods. Taking the flipping motor 6041 as an example below, the rotating shaft of the flipping motor 6041 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft that rotates synchronously. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft and drives the connecting rod to rotate synchronously. The connecting rod is connected to the flipping arm 6042 and drives the flipping arm 6042 to rotate along the rotating shaft of the flipping motor 6041. During the flipping process, it is clamped on the outer circumference of the decocting pot. An anti-detachment claw 6043 is provided on one side of the flipping arm 6042 along the axial opening direction of the decocting pot. During the flipping process, the anti-detachment claw 6043 is located on the opening side of the inner support assembly 120 to prevent the inner support assembly 120 from falling out of the outer pot 110.

[0041] In a further implementation, the anti-detachment claw 6043 is connected to a rotating device 60431. The anti-detachment claw 6043 is driven to rotate by the rotating device 60431. The anti-detachment claw 6043 is also provided with an adjustment hole 60432 for adjusting the height of the anti-detachment claw 6043.

[0042] Specifically, the rotating device 60431 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the U-shaped opening of the flipping arm 6042. The rotating shaft of the rotating device 60431 is connected to a fixing plate. The anti-detachment claw 6043 is detachably connected to the fixing plate. The anti-detachment claw 6043 includes a flat plate and a bent and extended hook head. A number of adjustment holes 60432 are provided on the flat plate and extend straight along the direction of the hook head. The anti-detachment claw 6043 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate by a detachable connecting component passing through the adjustment holes 60432, and the height of the hook head is adjusted according to the height of the decocting pot 100.

[0043] In this embodiment, the decocting pot is moved to the first cleaning carrier 601 along the direction of the cleaning conveyor line. A circulating water tank 6011 for cleaning the decocting pot is connected to the bottom of the first cleaning carrier 601. The cleaned water flows back to the circulating water tank 6011 through a water pipe, enabling the water in the circulating water tank 6011 to be recycled. A first spraying device 6012 and a first support rod 6013 that can move longitudinally are provided in the first cleaning carrier 601. The first support rod 6013 passes through the through-hole of the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120, jacking up the outer pot 110 so that there is a certain distance between the outer pot 110 and the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120. The first spraying device 6012 passes through the washing hole in the middle of the inner support assembly 120 and sprays and flushes the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 close to the inner wall of the bottom of the outer pot 110. The end of the first support rod 6013 that extends into the decocting pot is also provided with a water outlet, and the decocting pot is better flushed through the water outlet of the first support rod 6013.

[0044] Specifically, the water outlet of the first cleaning carrier 601 is connected to the upper end of the circulating water tank 6011 through a water pipe, and the water inlet is connected to the lower end of the circulating water tank 6011 through a water pipe. The first support rod 6013 is inside or at the bottom of the first cleaning carrier 601 through a lifting motor or other existing devices that can achieve lifting. During the lifting process of the first support rod 6013, it passes through the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 and abuts against the inner bottom wall of the outer pot 110, supporting the outer pot 110 to move upward so that there is a certain distance between the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120. The first inner spraying device 6012 is located between the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 to flush the decocting pot. In a preferred embodiment, the position of the first support rod 6013 close to the end is also provided with a spraying port, which cooperates with the first inner spraying device 6012 to clean the inside of the decocting pot, cleaning the areas that are not easy to clean or have poor cleaning effect of the first inner spraying device 6012, making the decocting pot cleaner.

[0045] In a further embodiment, a first outer spraying device 6014 that can rotate is provided in the first cleaning carrier 601 for cleaning the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110.

[0046] Specifically, a first outer spraying device 6014 that can rotate is provided on the upper side inside the first cleaning carrier 601, and its rotating shaft is coaxially arranged with the decocting pot in the first cleaning carrier 601. The first outer spraying device 6014 extends a certain distance in the direction of the decocting pot and then extends horizontally. The extension distance is greater than the radius of the outer pot 110 of the decocting pot, and then extends vertically downward for a certain distance. The vertical extension length is based on the height of the decocting pot. A plurality of spraying holes are distributed at intervals on the vertical extension section to flush the outer wall of the outer periphery of the decocting pot.

[0047] In this implementation scheme, a second cleaning carrier 602 is arranged on one side of the first cleaning carrier 601 along the direction of the cleaning conveyor line. The water outlet of the second cleaning carrier 602 is communicated with the water tank 6011, and the water inlet is communicated with the cleaning water tank 6023. Flushing is carried out with purified water. The washed water flows into the circulation water tank 6011 through the water outlet. When the water in the circulation water tank 6011 is full, it overflows. The sewage in the water tank 6011 is diluted by the washed water in the second cleaning carrier 602 to keep it clean within a certain limit. A longitudinally movable second inner spraying device 6021 and a second support rod 6022 are also arranged in the second cleaning carrier 602. The second support rod 6022 passes through the inner support assembly 120 to lift the outer pot 110, so that the second inner spraying device 6021 passes through the inner support assembly 120 and is between the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 to flush the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120.

[0048] Specifically, a longitudinally movable second inner spraying device 6021 and a second support rod 6022 are arranged in the second cleaning carrier 602. The water inlet of the second inner spraying device 6021 is communicated with the cleaning water tank 6023 to provide clean washing water. The second support rod 6022 passes through the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 near the outer periphery of the inner support assembly 120 to lift the outer pot 110. The second inner spraying device 6021 passes through the through hole in the middle of the inner support assembly 120 and is between the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 to flush the inner bottom of the outer pot 110 and the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120. In the washing state, a spraying port is arranged at one end of the second support rod 6022 in contact with the inner bottom of the outer pot 110 to flush the inner wall of the outer pot 110 near the corner, and at the same time, the outer periphery of the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 is flushed. Through the cooperation of the second inner spraying device 6021 and the second support rod 6022, the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 are fully flushed. The washed wastewater flows into the water tank 6011. The water tank 6011 is provided with an overflow port. When the water in the water tank 6011 reaches the overflow port and continues to flow in, the water in the water tank 6011 is discharged through the overflow port to connect to the sewer. The water washed by the second cleaning carrier 602 is cleaner than the water in the water tank 6011. The water washed by the second cleaning carrier 602 neutralizes the water in the water tank 6011 to ensure a certain cleanliness of the water in the water tank 6011. The washing water is reused, saving water and at the same time ensuring that the decocting pot is cleaned thoroughly.

[0049] In a further implementation scheme, a second outer spraying device 6024 is rotatably arranged in the second cleaning carrier 602 for flushing the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110.

[0050] Specifically, a second external spraying device 6024 is rotatably provided on the upper side inside the second cleaning carrier 602. Its rotation axis is coaxially arranged with the decocting pot inside the second cleaning carrier 602. The second external spraying device 6024 extends a certain distance in the direction of the decocting pot and then extends horizontally. The extension distance is greater than the radius of the outer pot 110 of the decocting pot, and then extends vertically downward a certain distance. The vertical extension length is based on the height of the decocting pot. A plurality of spraying holes are distributed at intervals on the vertical extension end to wash the outer wall of the periphery of the decocting pot.

[0051] In this embodiment, a third cleaning carrier 603 is arranged on one side of the second cleaning carrier 602 along the cleaning conveyor line. A drying device is provided inside the third cleaning carrier 603 to dry the decocting pot. After the decocting pot is washed twice, water droplets will hang on the inner wall of the decocting pot. The water droplets remaining in the decocting pot are dried by the drying device to prevent bacteria from being generated due to water accumulation in the decocting pot and contaminating the medicinal liquid during the next decocting.

[0052] Specifically, an internal air drying device 6031 and a third support rod 6033 that can move longitudinally are arranged inside the third cleaning carrier 603. The third support rod 6033 passes through the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 to lift the outer pot 110 a certain distance, so that there is a certain interval between the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120. The internal air drying device 6031 is located in the interval to dry the inside of the decocting pot. An external air drying device 6032 is rotatably provided inside the third cleaning carrier 603. Its rotation axis is coaxially arranged with the decocting pot inside the third cleaning carrier 603. The external air drying device 6032 extends a certain distance in the direction of the decocting pot. The extension length is based on the height of the decocting pot, then extends horizontally a certain distance. The extension distance is greater than the radius of the outer pot 110 of the decocting pot, and then extends vertically downward a certain distance. The vertical extension length is based on the height of the decocting pot. A plurality of air drying holes are distributed at intervals on the vertical extension section to dry the outer wall of the decocting pot.

[0053] In this embodiment, a second flipping device 604 is arranged along the cleaning conveyor line to flip the decocting pot to a state with the opening facing upward. There is a decocting pot conveyor line on the other side of the flipping device 604, which is convenient for placing the medicine bag again and adding water for the second round of automatic decocting, eliminating the need for manual flipping. The anti-detachment claw 6043 of the flipping device 604 is arranged on one side of the flipping arm 6042 along the reverse rotation direction.

[0054] Specifically, after the decoction pot is washed and dried, it moves on the cleaning conveyor line with the opening facing downwards. The upper end surface of the inner support assembly 120 is at the same height as the surface of the anti-detachment claw 6043 facing the flipping arm 6042, so that the decoction pot can be directly moved onto the anti-detachment claw 6043 of the flipping device 604 on the cleaning conveyor line. The anti-detachment claw 6043 and the clamping claw 6044 cooperate to flip the decoction pot onto the decoction pot conveyor line under the action of the flipping motor 6041 for another round of traditional Chinese medicine decoction.

[0055] In this embodiment, the height of the anti-detachment claw 6043 of the first flipping device 604 corresponds to the top wall of the opening side of the inner support assembly 120 of the decoction pot, and the convex rib of the outer pot 110 corresponds to the position of the clamping claw 6044. When the decoction pot is transported to the flipping device 604 on the decoction pot conveyor line, there is a certain gap between the top wall of the inner support assembly 120 and the side of the anti-detachment claw 6043 facing the clamping claw 6044, and the convex rib of the outer pot 110 is on the clamping claw 6044.

[0056] Specifically, the clamping claw 6044 is arranged on the flipping arm 6042. The distance between the U-shaped openings of the flipping arm 6042 is the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the outer pot 110. Clamping claws 6044 are respectively arranged on the three inner walls of the U-shaped opening. The clamping claw 6044 is arc-shaped and a clamping groove is correspondingly arranged in the middle. When the decoction pot moves to the position of the flipping device 604, the convex rib of the outer pot 110 is exactly in the clamping groove, and there is a certain gap between the top wall of the inner support assembly 120 and the bottom of the anti-detachment claw 6043. The flipping device 604 flips, and the clamping claw 6044 prevents the outer pot 110 from falling during the rotation process, and the anti-detachment claw 6043 prevents the inner support assembly 120 from falling during the rotation process. In another embodiment, when the decoction pot moves to the position of the flipping device 604, the convex rib of the outer pot 110 is exactly above the clamping claw 6044. Through the cooperation of the anti-detachment claw 6043 and the clamping claw 6044, the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 are prevented from falling during the rotation process. In still another embodiment, the distance between the clamping claws 6044 is larger than the outer diameter of the outer pot 110. A clamping claw cylinder 6047 is arranged on the outer side of the flipping arm 6042 to control the movement of the two clamping claws 6044 at the U-shaped opening end. When the decoction pot moves to the position of the flipping device 604, the clamping claw cylinder 6047 pushes the clamping claw 6044 to move towards the decoction pot and clamp at the convex rib of the outer pot 110. The convex rib is in the clamping groove or on the upper side of the clamping claw 6044. Through the cooperation of the clamping claw 6044 and the anti-detachment claw 6043, the decoction pot is flipped onto the cleaning conveyor line, and the clamping claw 6044 is controlled to disengage from the outer pot 110 to prevent the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 from falling during the rotation process. In the above embodiments, the clamping claw 6044 is made of an elastic material to avoid damaging the outer pot 110 during the clamping process.

[0057] In this embodiment, feet 6046 are installed at the bottom end of the bracket 6045. By providing the feet 6046, it can be avoided that during long-term use, the bottom of the bracket 6045 is damaged by friction, resulting in the conveyor line being unable to maintain a horizontal state. At the same time, during the maintenance process of the conveyor line, the level of the conveyor line can be ensured by adjusting the feet 6046.

[0058] As Figures 11 to 15 shown, the present invention provides a decocting device 100, including: an outer pot 110 and an inner support assembly 120. The inner support assembly 120 includes a tray 121, on which a medicine bag feeding port 1211 is provided; a bottom plate 124 for supporting the medicine bag; at least two connecting parts 122-1, arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction to connect the tray 121 and the bottom plate 124.

[0059] The inner support assembly 120 for supporting the medicine bag is placed in the outer pot 110, and a limiting structure 111-1 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer pot 110; The limiting structure 111-1 cooperates with the inner support assembly 120 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 in the outer pot 110.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, through the cooperation of the limiting structure 111-1 and the inner support assembly 120, the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 in the outer pot 110 can be restricted, so that the inner support assembly 110 and the medicine bag on the inner support assembly 110 can maintain a relatively stable position in the outer pot 110 during the decocting process, especially in the case of boiling or stirring of the medicinal liquid, which can avoid the occurrence of overflow of the medicinal liquid or uneven heating, and improve the decocting effect.

[0061] The inner wall of the outer pot 110 can be the inner bottom wall and / or the inner circumferential wall of the outer pot 110, and the limiting structure 111-1 is arranged on the inner bottom wall and / or the inner circumferential wall of the outer pot 110; the limiting structure 111-1 can be structures such as protrusions, grooves, and claws, etc.; for example, the claws directly clamp the circumferential wall of the inner support assembly.

[0062] The outer pot 110 is the main part of the entire decocting device 100. The main function of the outer pot 110 is to accommodate the medicinal liquid required during the decocting process and needs to be made of materials with high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, such as stainless steel or ceramics, etc., to ensure that it can stably withstand high temperatures and maintain the purity of the medicinal liquid during the decocting process. In addition, the heat insulation performance of the outer pot 110 should also be considered to reduce heat loss during the decocting process and improve the decocting efficiency.

[0063] The pallet 121 of the inner support assembly 120 is erected at the outer pot feeding opening 110a, enabling the stable placement of the inner support assembly 120 inside the outer pot 110. This not only facilitates the feeding and retrieval of the medicine bag but also prevents the inner support assembly 120 from directly contacting the bottom of the outer pot 110, which may cause wear or contamination. Specifically, the pallet 121 is annular, horizontally extending a certain length from the inner circumference to the outer circumference, and the inner circumference of the pallet 121 encloses the medicine bag feeding opening 1211; The part of the pallet 121 that extends from the position connected to the connecting portion 122-1 to the outer circumference forms a supporting portion 121a, and the supporting portion 121a is erected at the outer pot feeding opening 110a, realizing the erection of the pallet 121 on the outer pot 110.

[0064] Specifically, reinforcing ribs 113 are provided at the outer pot feeding opening 110a, and the reinforcing ribs 113 are arranged annularly around the outer pot feeding opening 110a; the pallet 121 is erected on the reinforcing ribs 113; In this embodiment, reinforcing ribs 113 are provided at the outer pot feeding opening 110a, and the reinforcing ribs 113 are arranged around the outer pot feeding opening 110a in an annular manner. The main purpose is to enhance the structural strength of this area of the outer pot 110. Since the outer pot feeding opening 110a is a region that is often subjected to internal and external forces, such as the placement and removal of the inner support assembly 120 and the feeding of the medicine bag, the addition of the reinforcing ribs 113 can effectively prevent the outer pot feeding opening 110a from deforming or breaking due to long-term use or improper operation, thereby extending the service life of the outer pot 110. As a preferred solution, the reinforcing ribs 113 are annular reinforcing ribs 113 arranged in a circle around the outer pot feeding opening 110a.

[0065] Specifically, the pallet 121 is erected on the reinforcing ribs 113, which can provide stable support for the pallet 121 and ensure the accurate position of the inner support assembly 120 inside the outer pot 110. The annular structure of the reinforcing ribs 113 provides a flat and firm placement platform for the pallet 121, enabling the pallet 121 to firmly support the inner support assembly 120 and the medicine bag thereon, preventing shaking or tilting during the decocting process.

[0066] As a preferred solution, the outer edge of the pallet 121 protrudes from the reinforcing ribs 113. The outer edge of the pallet 121 is designed to protrude from the reinforcing ribs 113, which not only increases the contact area between the pallet 121 and the reinforcing ribs 113, thereby improving the placement stability of the pallet 121, but also provides a certain guiding function for the placement and removal of the inner support assembly 120, enabling users to complete these operations more easily.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, the inner support assembly 120 is provided with at least two connecting portions 122-1 that are circumferentially spaced apart; The limiting structure 111-1 and the connecting part 122-1 cooperate to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot 110.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting structure 111-1 and the connecting part 122-1 cooperate to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120, and the cooperation mode between the two is a snap-fit between the limiting structure 111-1 and the connecting part 122-1; The specific mode of the snap-fit is as follows: The connecting part 122-1 is a vertically extending connecting rod 122; Mode 1: The connecting rod 122 is provided with a protrusion or a groove, and the limiting structure 111-1 is a groove provided on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 for the protrusion on the connecting rod 122 to snap into or a protrusion that snaps into the groove on the connecting rod 122; Mode 2: The limiting structure 111-1 is at least two protrusions 111 provided on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110; The two protrusions 111 snap into between the two connecting rods 122, or the two connecting rods 122 snap into between the two protrusions 111.

[0069] Specifically, the setting of the protrusions 111 on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 needs to match the shape and size of the connecting rod 122. The shape of the protrusion 111 can be circular, square or other shapes suitable for the connecting rod 122 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot 110.

[0070] When the inner support assembly 120 is placed within the outer pot 110, the connecting rod 122 will come into contact with the protrusions 111. The two protrusions 111 snap into between the two connecting rods 122, or the two connecting rods 122 snap into between the two protrusions 111, so that the inner support assembly 120 can maintain a relatively stable position during the decocting process through physical restriction.

[0071] The number and position of the connecting rods 122 should correspond one-to-one with the protrusions 111 on the outer pot 110, so that during the decocting process, the connecting rods 122 can cooperate with the protrusions 111 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120.

[0072] Specifically, four protrusions 111 are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110, and every two protrusions 111 form a group; the inner support assembly 120 is provided with four connecting rods 122, and every two connecting rods 122 form a group. The two protrusions 111 cooperate with the two connecting rods 122 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot. Specifically, when the inner support assembly 120 is placed within the outer pot 110, the two protrusions 111 snap into between the two connecting rods 122 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot 110.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present invention, a positioning structure 112-1 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 below the limiting structure 111-1; When transporting the decocting device 100, the transporting component clamps the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 at the lower part of the positioning structure 112-1.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, by providing the positioning structure, the transporting component can accurately and stably clamp the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110, preventing accidents such as slipping or tipping over during transportation.

[0075] Further, the positioning structure 112-1 includes a rib 112 protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110, coaxial with the outer pot 110 and annular; the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 is provided with the rib 112, and when transporting the decocting device 100, the transporting component clamps the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 at the lower part of the rib 112.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, the shape and size of the rib 112 can ensure that it will not protrude too much to increase the volume and weight of the outer pot 110, while providing sufficient stability for the transporting component when clamping the decocting device 100.

[0077] Specifically, when transporting the decocting device 100, transporting components such as a trolley, a gripper, etc. will clamp the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 at the lower part of the rib 112. Due to the design of the rib 112, the transporting component can more stably clamp the outer pot 110, preventing accidents such as slipping or tipping over during transportation.

[0078] Further, the positioning structure includes at least two ribs 112 arranged at intervals, and when transporting the decocting device 100, the transporting component clamps the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 between the two ribs 112.

[0079] To further enhance the stability and safety of the decocting device 100 during transportation, at least two ribs 112 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110, and the at least two ribs 112 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the outer pot 110, and the interval distance at least satisfies the clamping of the transporting component.

[0080] Specifically, when transporting the decocting device 100, transporting components such as a trolley, a gripper, etc. will clamp the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 between the two ribs 112. Due to the presence of the two ribs 112, the transporting component can more firmly clamp the outer pot 110, preventing shaking or slipping during transportation.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present invention, a carrier 130 is provided at the bottom of the outer pot 110, and the movement of the decocting device 100 on the conveyor line of the automatic decocting system is realized through the carrier 130.

[0082] Furthermore, the carrier 130 includes: a support plate 131, which is fixedly connected to the outer pot 110; a conveying module 132, which is wrapped around the outer periphery of the support plate 131 and is detachably connected to the support plate 131; In this embodiment, to improve the automation level and mobility of the decocting device 100, a carrier 130 is provided at the bottom of the outer pot 110. The design of the carrier 130 should consider factors such as compatibility with the conveyor line, load-bearing capacity, and stability.

[0083] The carrier 130 mainly consists of two parts: a support plate 131 and a conveying module 132. The support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer pot 110 to provide stable support for the entire decocting device 100; the conveying module 132 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the support plate 131 and is detachably connected to the support plate 131, enabling the conveying module 132 to be replaced or adjusted according to different types of conveyor lines, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the decocting device 100.

[0084] As a preferred solution, the support plate 131 and the outer pot 110 are fixed together by welding. Welding connection has the advantages of high strength, good sealing performance, and firm connection, which can ensure that there is no relative displacement or loosening between the support plate 131 and the outer pot 110 during the movement of the decocting device 100, while simplifying the installation process and improving work efficiency.

[0085] Specifically, the support plate 131 is a square sheet metal structure, and fixing parts 1311 are provided at its edges; the fixing parts 1311 are provided at the edges of the four sides of the support plate 131. When it is necessary to fix the outer pot 110 of the decocting device 100, the fixing device cooperates with the fixing parts 1311 to achieve the fixing function.

[0086] When the outer pot 110, the support plate 131, and the supporting components provided below the support plate 131 are integrally flipped, to prevent the outer pot 110 and the support plate 131 from moving on the supporting components, the outer pot 110 and the support plate 131 are fixed by the fixing device. For example, the fixing device is a cylinder, and the end of the cylinder rod acts on the top surface of the abutting part 1311a to keep the outer pot 110 and the support plate 131 stationary on the supporting components.

[0087] The conveying module 132 wrapped around the outside of the support plate 131 is composed of four straight rods 1321 connected end to end. Grooves are provided on the straight rods 1321 to reduce the overall weight of the transportation module. The support plate 131 and the conveying module 132 are assembled into a square carrier 130 with a size of 400 cm * 400 cm to ensure the stability during the transfer of the decocting device 100 and the adaptability to the conveyor belt.

[0088] Such asFigures 11 to 15 As shown in Figures 11 to 15 , the present invention provides a decocting device, including: the outer pot in Embodiment 1 and the inner support assembly 120 placed inside the outer pot; The inner support assembly 120 includes: A pallet 121, on which a medicine bag dropping opening 1211 is provided, and is erected at the outer pot dropping opening 110a; A bottom plate 124, used to support the medicine bag, on which a liquid medicine flow hole 124a is provided; the outer periphery of the bottom plate 124 is substantially fitted with the inner periphery of the outer pot 110; At least two connecting parts 122-1, arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, connect the pallet 121 and the bottom plate 124.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present invention, the decocting device 100 includes an outer pot 110 for containing liquid medicine and an inner support assembly 120 placed inside the outer shell, realizing the automation and convenience of traditional Chinese medicine decocting.

[0090] By connecting the pallet 121 and the bottom plate 124 through at least two connecting parts 122-1 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, the liquid medicine can not only penetrate into the medicine bag through the liquid medicine flow hole 124a, but also penetrate into the medicine bag through the gaps formed by the intervals between the two connecting parts 122-1, realizing that the liquid medicine can fully penetrate into the medicine bag, improving the decocting effect, and the interval setting between the two connecting parts 122-1 can reduce the use of raw materials for manufacturing the inner support assembly 120, reducing the manufacturing cost and difficulty of the inner support assembly 120.

[0091] The material of the inner support assembly 120 should have characteristics such as high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance to cope with the high temperature environment during the decocting process.

[0092] In addition to a plurality of liquid medicine flow holes 124a being provided on the bottom plate 124, a plurality of mating through holes 124f for cleaning are also provided; A plurality of mating through holes are arranged between a plurality of liquid medicine flow holes 124a; specifically, a plurality of mating through holes and liquid medicine flow holes 124a cover the entire bottom plate 124. Further specifically, the number of liquid medicine flow holes 124a is more than the number of mating through holes. There are five mating through holes, which are four first mating through holes 124f and one second mating through hole 124g respectively. The second mating through hole 124g is arranged at the center position of the bottom plate 124, and the four first mating through holes 124f surround the second mating through hole 124g. A plurality of liquid medicine flow holes 124a basically cover the entire bottom plate 124, realizing that the liquid medicine can penetrate into the medicine bag more fully. The mating through holes are for a cleaning device 600 to pass through to clean the bottom wall of the outer pot 110 in the decocting device 100.

[0093] The medicine bag is mainly a traditional Chinese medicine bag. When the decocting device 100 decocts medicine, the medicine bag is put into the interior of the decocting device 100 through the medicine bag feeding port 1211, and the bottom plate 124 supports the medicine bag entering the interior of the decocting device 100; the medicinal liquid in the outer pot 110 of the decocting device 100 penetrates into the medicine bag through the medicinal liquid circulation holes 124a and the gaps formed by the two connecting parts 122-1 at intervals. In an embodiment of the present invention, at least two connecting parts 122-1 are connected between the support plate 121 and the bottom plate 124 at intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present invention, the connecting part 122-1 serves as a bridge between the support plate 121 and the bottom plate 124, playing a role in stable support and connection.

[0095] At least two connecting parts 122-1 are arranged at intervals, forming a stable support frame between the support plate 121 and the bottom plate 124. This structure enables the inner support assembly 120 to maintain good stability and anti-deformation ability when subjected to external forces, such as the shaking of the medicinal liquid; a gap is formed between the two connecting parts 122-1, enabling the inner support assembly 120 to adapt to medicine bags of different shapes and sizes. The medicine bag can be placed on the bottom plate 124, and the connecting parts 122-1 will not cause any obstruction; it is convenient for disassembly and cleaning to ensure the hygiene and safety of each decocting process; and it can maintain the shape of the medicine bag to prevent the medicinal materials from scattering.

[0096] The support plate 121, the bottom plate 124 and the connecting part 122-1 can be connected by means of screwing, clamping, welding, etc., which is convenient for users to disassemble and assemble according to needs.

[0097] Furthermore, the connecting part 122-1 is a connecting rod 122 vertically extending between the support plate 121 and the bottom plate 124; the top and bottom ends of the connecting rod 122 are respectively connected to the bottom of the support plate 121 and the top of the bottom plate 124.

[0098] The design of the connecting rod 122 extending vertically makes the connection between the support plate 121 and the bottom plate 124 more direct and stable. This linear support structure can effectively resist the force in the horizontal direction, preventing the inner support assembly 120 from tilting or deforming due to the shaking of the medicinal liquid during the decocting process.

[0099] The top and bottom ends of the connecting rod 122 are respectively tightly connected to the bottom of the support plate 121 and the top of the bottom plate 124, forming a stable support frame. This connection method ensures the effective transmission of force between the support plate 121 and the bottom plate 124, avoiding problems such as loosening or falling off due to insecure connection.

[0100] The bottom plate 124 can be set into a disc-shaped structure with a higher middle part and gradually decreasing circumference, so that when operating on the medicine bag such as extrusion, the liquid medicine in the medicine bag can smoothly flow into the outer pot 110; specifically, the supporting plate 121 is arc-shaped, the inner circumference of the supporting plate 121 encloses a medicine bag dropping port 1211, and the bottom plate 124 is disc-shaped.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present invention, the inner peripheral edge of the medicine bag dropping port 1211 includes a plurality of first straight segments 1211a and a plurality of first arc segments 1211b that are alternately distributed in the circumferential direction; The top end of the connecting rod 122 is connected to the bottom of the supporting plate 121 at the first straight segment 1211a.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first straight segment 1211a forms a clear boundary at the edge of the medicine bag dropping port 1211, which helps the user place the medicine bag more accurately and avoid the medicine bag deviating from the medicine bag dropping port 1211. At the same time, the design of the first straight segment 1211a also enhances the structural rigidity of the medicine bag dropping port 1211 and prevents deformation caused by external forces; The design of the second arc segment 124c makes the edge of the medicine bag dropping port 1211 smoother, reduces the friction and resistance when contacting the medicine bag, and is beneficial to the smooth input of the medicine bag. In addition, the second arc segment 124c also gives a certain aesthetic feeling to the medicine bag dropping port 1211 and makes the overall appearance of the decocting device 100 more harmonious.

[0103] Connecting the top end of the connecting rod 122 to the bottom of the supporting plate 121 at the first straight segment 1211a is a reasonable choice because the straight segment has better positioning and stability compared with the arc segment. Connecting the connecting rod 122 at these positions can ensure a more firm and reliable connection between the connecting rod 122 and the supporting plate 121, so that the entire inner support assembly 120 can maintain good stability and anti-deformation ability when bearing the weight of the medicine bag and various forces during the decocting process.

[0104] Preferably, the inner peripheral edge of the medicine bag dropping port 1211 includes two relatively arranged first straight segments 1211a and two relatively arranged first arc segments 1211b; two connecting rods 122 are connected to the supporting plate 121 at each first straight segment 1211a. This design takes into account the structural strength, stability and convenience of use. Among them, the length of the first straight segment 1211a is less than the length of the first arc segment 1211b.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present invention, the outer peripheral edge of the bottom plate 124 includes a plurality of second straight segments 124b corresponding to the positions of the first straight segments 1211a and a plurality of second arc segments 124c corresponding to the positions of the first arc segments 1211b; The bottom end of the connecting rod 122 is connected to the top of the bottom plate 124 at the second straight segment 124b.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first straight segment 1211a and the second straight segment 124b correspond to each other in position. This correspondence ensures that the connecting rod 122 can directly and stably connect the pallet 121 and the bottom plate 124. Since the second straight segment 124b provides a clear boundary and positioning points, the connection position of the connecting rod 122 is also more accurate and reliable.

[0107] Although the first arc segment 1211b and the second arc segment 124c do not directly play a role in the connection of the connecting rod 122, the correspondence between the first arc segment 1211b and the second arc segment 124c makes the edge shapes of the bottom plate 124 and the medicine bag dropping port 1211 consistent, improving the overall aesthetics and coordination.

[0108] The bottom end of the connecting rod 122 is connected to the top of the bottom plate 124 at the second straight segment 124b, further enhancing the connection strength between the pallet 121 and the bottom plate 124.

[0109] Specifically, the pallet 121 and the bottom plate 124 are coaxially arranged. The two first straight segments 1211a are symmetrically arranged with the center of the pallet 121 as the center of symmetry, and the two second straight segments 124b are symmetrically arranged with the center of the bottom plate 124 as the center of symmetry; The connecting rods 122 connected to one first straight segment 1211a and the connecting rods 122 connected to the other first straight segment 1211a are symmetrically arranged with the center of the pallet 121 as the center of symmetry.

[0110] Furthermore, the second straight segment 124b is recessed inward relative to the second arc segment 124c to form an avoidance notch 124d; Two corners 124e distributed circumferentially on the avoidance notch 124d are respectively connected with the connecting rod 122.

[0111] The said inward recess means recessing inward into the inner support assembly 120. The avoidance notch 124d is provided for avoiding the protrusion 111 when the inner support assembly 120 is placed in the outer pot in Embodiment 1; the bottom ends of the two connecting rods 122 are connected to the two corners 124e distributed circumferentially on the avoidance notch 124d. Since the corners 124e are stress concentration areas, connecting the connecting rod 122 to the corners 124e can enhance the support capacity of these areas, enabling the entire inner support assembly 120 to maintain better stability and anti-deformation ability when bearing the weight of the medicinal liquid and various forces during the decocting process.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present invention, a clamping member 123 for clamping the medicine bag seal is provided on the pallet 121 between the two connecting portions 122-1.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present invention, the main function of the clamping member 123 is to clamp and fix the medicine bag seal. Among them, the clamping member 123 clamps and fixes the end of the medicine bag seal, which can ensure that the clamping force is more concentrated and effective, and avoid excessive extrusion or damage to other parts of the medicine bag.

[0114] During the decocting process, the medicine bag is usually sealed to prevent the medicinal materials from scattering or being contaminated. When the medicine bag is located in the inner support assembly 120, the clamping member 123 clamps the medicine bag seal, which can further ensure that the medicine bag is stably placed and avoid moving or tilting during the decocting process due to the boiling or stirring of the liquid medicine.

[0115] It should be noted that the medicine bag seal can be a separately provided rope. The medicine bag is tied with the rope, and then the remaining end after tying is clamped on the clamping member 123 to realize the fixation of the medicine bag seal. Another option is that the seal used to seal the medicine bag can be a part of the medicine bag. This part is used to tie the medicine bag, and then the remaining end after tying is clamped on the clamping member 123 to realize the fixation of the medicine bag seal.

[0116] The clamping member 23 is provided with a clamping cavity 23a for clamping the medicine bag seal and a through hole 1231a allowing the medicine bag seal to enter the clamping cavity 123a; Specifically, the clamping member 123 includes: A housing 1231, the top of which is provided on the support plate 121, the bottom of which is suspended and provided with a downward opening, and the through hole 1231a is provided on the inner side wall of the housing 1231 facing inward; An inner core 1232, which is telescopically moved up and down relative to the opening in the housing 1231, and the side wall thereof is provided with a clamping groove 1232a with a notch facing inward. The clamping groove 1232a and the side wall of the housing 1231 provided with the through hole 1231a enclose a clamping cavity 123a; A return spring 1233, which is provided in the housing 1231, one end of which is connected to the top of the housing 1231, and the other end of which is connected to the top of the inner core 1232.

[0117] The inward direction of the through hole 1231a and the inward direction of the notch mean that the through hole 1231a faces the inside of the inner support assembly 120, the clamping groove 1232a faces the inside of the inner support assembly 120, and the inner side wall of the housing 1231 refers to the inside of the housing facing the inner support assembly 120; Taking the rope piece, which is a separately provided medicine bag seal, as an example, when the decocting device 100 decocts medicine, first put the traditional Chinese medicine materials into the medicine bag, and then tie the medicine bag tightly through the rope piece. The tying method is as follows: the medicine bag has an opening for the medicine bag to be put in, and a channel for the rope piece to penetrate and be pulled is provided at the opening. By pulling the rope piece, the opening of the medicine bag is sealed, and then the medicine bag is tied tightly; push the inner core 1232 upward, the return spring 1233 is compressed, so that the clamping groove 1232a of the inner core 1232 coincides with the perforation 1231a of the housing 1231. Place the end of the rope piece in the clamping groove 1232a through the perforation 1231a. After the placement is completed, release the force pushing the inner core 1232. The inner core 1232 is pushed by the restoring force of the return spring 1233 and returns to the initial state. At this time, the end of the rope piece is clamped in the clamping cavity 123a, that is, clamped between the side wall of the housing 1231 provided with the perforation 1231a and the inner core 1232, completing the clamping and fixing of the medicine bag seal.

[0118] Further, a winding member 125a for winding the medicine bag seal is provided below the clamping member 123; The winding member 125a is a winding rod 125. The winding rod 125 is disposed opposite to the clamping member 123 between two adjacent connecting rods 122. Both ends of the winding rod 125 are connected to the two connecting rods 122 respectively; Further, the winding rod 125 is provided at the bottom of the two connecting rods 122.

[0119] The winding rod 125 is a straight rod extending horizontally, which is convenient for winding the medicine bag seal.

[0120] Taking the rope piece, which is a separately provided medicine bag seal, as an example, after the rope piece seals the medicine bag, first pass the rope piece out of the inner support assembly 120 from the inside at the lower part of the winding rod 125 to the outside of the inner support assembly 120, and then extend upward from the bottom of the inner support assembly 120 to the clamping member 123. The end of the rope piece is clamped and fixed by the clamping member 123; Through the winding and clamping of the above-mentioned rope piece, it can be ensured that the medicine bag always adheres to the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 during the decocting process and will not float due to the buoyancy of the water in the decocting device 100.

[0121] As a preferred solution, the medicine bag seal can be wound around the winding rod 125 for multiple turns and then extended to the clamping member 123 for clamping and fixing.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least two connecting parts 122-1 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction connect the pallet 121 and the bottom plate 124, so that the liquid medicine can not only penetrate into the medicine bag through the liquid medicine circulation holes 124a, but also penetrate into the medicine bag through the gaps formed by the intervals between the two connecting parts 122-1, realizing that the liquid medicine can fully penetrate into the medicine bag, improving the effect of decocting medicine, and the interval setting between the two connecting parts 122-1 can reduce the use of raw materials for manufacturing the inner support assembly 120, reducing the manufacturing cost and difficulty of the inner support assembly 120.

[0123] The material of the inner support assembly 120 should have characteristics such as high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance to cope with the high temperature environment during the decocting process.

[0124] Further, liquid medicine circulation holes 124a are provided on the bottom plate 124, so that the liquid medicine can not only penetrate into the medicine bag through the liquid medicine circulation holes 124a, but also penetrate into the medicine bag through the gaps formed by the intervals between the two connecting parts; in addition to a plurality of liquid medicine circulation holes 124a, a plurality of matching through holes for cleaning are also provided on the bottom plate 124; A plurality of matching through holes are arranged between a plurality of liquid medicine circulation holes 124a; specifically, a plurality of matching through holes and liquid medicine circulation holes 124a cover the entire bottom plate 124. Further specifically, the number of liquid medicine circulation holes 124a is more than the number of matching through holes. There are five matching through holes, and the five matching through holes are four first matching through holes 124f and one second matching through hole 124g. The second matching through hole 124g is arranged at the center position of the bottom plate 124, and the four first matching through holes 124f surround the second matching through hole 124g. A plurality of liquid medicine circulation holes 124a basically cover the entire bottom plate 124, realizing that the liquid medicine can penetrate into the medicine bag more fully. The matching through holes are for the cleaning device 600 to pass through and clean the bottom wall of the outer pot 110 of the decocting device 100.

[0125] In this embodiment, a second cleaning carrier 602 is arranged on one side of the first cleaning carrier 601 along the direction of the cleaning conveyor line. The water outlet of the second cleaning carrier 602 is communicated with the circulating water tank 6011, and the water inlet is communicated with the cleaning water tank 6023. Flushing is carried out with purified water, and the water after washing flows into the circulating water tank 6011 through the water outlet. When the water in the circulating water tank 6011 is full, it overflows, and the water after washing in the second cleaning carrier 602 dilutes the sewage in the circulating water tank 6011 to keep it clean within a certain limit. A second inner spraying device 6021 and a second support rod 6022 that can move longitudinally are also arranged in the second cleaning carrier 602. The second support rod 6022 enters the inner support assembly 120 through the first fitting through hole 124f on the bottom plate 124 to lift the outer pot 110, so that there is a certain distance between the outer pot 110 and the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120. The second inner spraying device 6021 enters the inner support assembly 120 through the second fitting through hole 124g on the bottom plate 124 and sprays and flushes the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 close to the inner wall of the bottom of the outer pot 110.

[0126] Specifically, a second inner spraying device 6021 and a second support rod 6022 that can move longitudinally are arranged in the second cleaning carrier 602. The water inlet of the second inner spraying device 6021 is communicated with the cleaning water tank 6023 to provide clean washing water. In the washing state, a spraying port is arranged at one end of the second support rod 6022 that abuts against the inner bottom of the outer pot to flush the inner wall of the outer pot 110 near the corner and the outer periphery of the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 at the same time. Through the cooperation of the second inner spraying device 6021 and the second support rod 6022, the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 are fully flushed, and the waste water after flushing flows into the circulating water tank 6011. The circulating water tank 6011 is provided with an overflow port. When the water in the circulating water tank 6011 reaches the overflow port and continues to flow in, the water in the circulating water tank 6011 is discharged through the overflow port and communicated with the sewer. The washing water in the second cleaning carrier 602 is cleaner than the water in the circulating water tank 6011. The washing water in the second cleaning carrier 602 neutralizes the water in the circulating water tank 6011 to ensure a certain cleanliness of the water in the water tank 6011. The washing water is reused, saving water and ensuring that the decocting pot can be cleaned cleanly at the same time.
