[0025] As Figures 1 to 5 , the present invention discloses a decocting pot for decocting traditional Chinese medicine.

[0026] A decocting pot includes: an outer pot 110 for containing the medicinal liquid; an inner support assembly 120 placed inside the outer pot 110 for supporting a traditional Chinese medicine sachet; the inner support assembly 120 is provided with a tray 121, and an inner support assembly 120 feeding port is formed on the inner circumference of the tray 121; the tray 121 is placed at the feeding port of the outer pot 110 to realize the placement of the inner support assembly 120 inside the outer pot 110.

[0027] In this embodiment, the decocting pot 100 includes an outer pot 110 and an inner support assembly 120 to achieve the automation and convenience of traditional Chinese medicine decocting. The outer pot 110 serves as the main body of the entire decocting pot 100. The main function of the outer pot 110 is to hold the medicinal liquid required during the decocting process. It needs to be made of materials with high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, such as stainless steel or ceramics, 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 preservation performance of the outer pot 110 should also be considered to reduce heat dissipation during the decocting process and improve the decocting efficiency.

[0028] The inner support assembly 120 is placed inside the outer pot 110 and is used to support the traditional Chinese medicine medicine bag. The design of the inner support assembly 120 should facilitate disassembly and cleaning to ensure the hygiene and safety of each decocting process; the inner support assembly 120 can adopt a mesh or porous structure so that the medicinal liquid can fully penetrate into the medicine bag, while maintaining the shape of the medicine bag and preventing the medicinal materials from scattering. In addition, the material of the inner support assembly 120 should also have characteristics such as high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance to cope with the high temperature environment during the decocting process.

[0029] A tray 121 is provided at the top of the inner support assembly 120 and is placed on the circumference of the feeding port of the outer pot 110, realizing the stable placement of the inner support assembly 120 inside the outer pot 110. This is not only convenient for the feeding and taking of the medicine bag, but also avoids possible wear or contamination caused by the direct contact between the inner support assembly 120 and the bottom of the outer pot 110. The tray 121 also needs to be made of materials with high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance to ensure its stability and durability during use.

[0030] Specifically, an inner support assembly 120 feeding port is formed on the inner circumference of the tray 121. When decocting traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine materials are fed into the interior of the decocting pot 100 through the inner support assembly 120 feeding port for decocting.

[0031] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs 113 are provided at the feeding port of the outer pot 110, and the reinforcing ribs 113 are arranged in a ring around the feeding port of the outer pot 110; the tray 121 is placed on the reinforcing ribs 113; Preferably, the outer edge of the tray 121 protrudes from the reinforcing ribs 113.

[0032] In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 113 is provided at the feeding port of the outer pot 110. The reinforcing rib 113 is arranged around the feeding port in a circular manner. Its main purpose is to enhance the structural strength of this area of the outer pot 110. Since the feeding port is an area 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 medicine bags, etc., the addition of the reinforcing rib 113 can effectively prevent the feeding port 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 rib 113 is a circular reinforcing rib 113 arranged in a circle around the feeding port of the outer pot 110.

[0033] Specifically, the support plate 121 is placed on the reinforcing rib 113, which can provide stable support for the support plate 121 and ensure the accurate position of the inner support assembly 120 in the outer pot 110. The circular structure of the reinforcing rib 113 provides a flat and firm placement platform for the support plate 121, enabling the support plate 121 to firmly support the inner support assembly 120 and the traditional Chinese medicine medicine bag thereon, preventing it from shaking or tilting during the decocting process.

[0034] As a preferred solution, the outer edge of the support plate 121 is designed to protrude from the reinforcing rib 113, which not only increases the contact area between the support plate 121 and the reinforcing rib 113, thereby improving the placement stability of the support plate 121, but also provides a certain guiding effect for the placement and removal of the inner support assembly 120, enabling the user to complete these operations more easily.

[0035] Furthermore, a clamping member 123 is provided on one side of the support plate 121 facing the inside of the inner support assembly 120. The clamping member 123 is used to clamp and fix the seal of the traditional Chinese medicine medicine bag; Preferably, the clamping member 123 clamps and fixes the end of the seal.

[0036] In this embodiment, a clamping member 123 is provided on one side of the support plate 121 facing the inside of the inner support assembly 120. The main function of the clamping member 123 is to clamp and fix the seal of the traditional Chinese medicine medicine bag. During the decocting process, the traditional Chinese medicine 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 seal of the medicine bag, which can further ensure the stable placement of the medicine bag and prevent it from moving or tilting during the decocting process due to the boiling of the liquid medicine or stirring.

[0037] Specifically, the inner circumference of the support plate 121 forms a feeding port of the inner support assembly 120. The edge of the feeding port is set to alternate with straight lines and arc lines. Two arc lines are arranged opposite to each other, and two straight lines are arranged opposite to each other. The clamping member 123 is arranged at one of the straight lines and faces the inside of the inner support assembly 120. The clamping member 123 includes: a housing, a core that telescopically moves inside the housing, and a spring that provides thrust for the core.

[0038] More specifically, when decocting traditional Chinese medicine, first put the traditional Chinese medicine materials into a medicine bag, then tie the medicine bag tightly through a sealing member. Push the inner core of the clamping member 123 to make the opening of the inner core coincide with the opening of the housing. Place the sealing member at the opening. After the placement is completed, release the force pushing the inner core. The inner core is pushed by the restoring force of the spring in the housing and returns to its initial state. At this time, the sealing member is clamped and fixed in the clamping member 123.

[0039] As a preferred solution, the clamping member 123 clamps the end of the sealing member, 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.

[0040] It should be noted that the sealing member used to seal the medicine bag can be a separately provided rope member. Tie the medicine bag tightly with the rope member, and then clamp the remaining end after tying on the clamping member 123 to fix the sealing member. As another option, the sealing member used to seal the medicine bag can be a part of the medicine bag. Tie the medicine bag tightly with this part, and then clamp the remaining end after tying on the clamping member 123 to fix the sealing member.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner support assembly 120 is further provided with: a bottom plate 124, near the bottom of the outer pot 110, for supporting the traditional Chinese medicine medicine bag; a connecting rod 122, one end of the connecting rod 122 is connected to the tray 121, and the other end is connected to the bottom plate 124.

[0042] In this embodiment, in addition to the provided tray 121, the inner support assembly 120 is further provided with a bottom plate 124 and a connecting rod 122. One end of the connecting rod 122 is connected to the tray 121, and the other end is connected to the bottom plate 124 to form a stable support structure. The number and distribution mode of the connecting rods 122 should be reasonably designed according to the size and shape of the inner support assembly 120 to ensure the stability and balance of the entire structure. Similarly, the connecting rods 122 and the bottom plate 124 also need to be made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to cope with the high temperature and humid environment during the decocting process.

[0043] Specifically, one end of the connecting rod 122 is arranged in a straight-line area at the inner peripheral edge of the tray 121; there is a groove at the connection between the bottom plate 124 and the connecting rod 122, and the connecting rod 122 is connected in the groove. The bottom plate 124 is provided with through holes with different apertures for the dripping of the liquid medicine and for the cleaning member to pass through the through holes in the bottom wall of the outer pot 110 when cleaning the decocting pot 100.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom plate 124 can be configured as a disk-shaped structure with a higher middle part and gradually decreasing circumference, so that when operations such as squeezing the medicine bag are performed, the liquid medicine in the medicine bag can smoothly flow into the outer pot 110.

[0045] Furthermore, a protrusion 111 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110; the protrusion 111 cooperates with the connecting rod 122 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot 110 and prevent unnecessary rotation during the decocting process, a protrusion 111 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110, which cooperates with the connecting rod 122 of the inner support assembly 120.

[0047] Specifically, the protrusion 111 on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 is provided with a shape and size that cooperate with the connecting rod 122. The shape of the protrusion 111 can be circular, square or other shapes suitable for cooperating with the connecting rod 122 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot 110.

[0048] When the inner support assembly 120 is placed within the outer pot 110, the connecting rod 122 will come into contact with the protrusion 111, and by means of physical restriction, even in the case of boiling or stirring of the liquid medicine during the decocting process, the inner support assembly 120 can maintain a relatively stable position.

[0049] Furthermore, at least two protrusions 111 are provided and arranged oppositely on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110; at least two connecting rods 122 are provided and arranged oppositely on the inner support assembly 120; the protrusions 111 and the connecting rods 122 correspond to each other one by one to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot 110.

[0050] In this embodiment, on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110, at least two protrusions 111 are provided, and these two protrusions 111 are in opposite positions; the number and position of the protrusions 111 should be reasonably arranged according to the size of the outer pot 110 and the size of the inner support assembly 120 to achieve the best stability effect. Correspondingly, on the inner support assembly 120, at least two connecting rods 122 are provided, and the two connecting rods 122 are in opposite positions. One end of the connecting rod 122 is connected to the support plate 121, and the other end is connected to the bottom plate 124 to form a stable support structure. The number and position of the connecting rods 122 should correspond to the protrusions 111 on the outer pot 110 one by one, 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.

[0051] When decocting traditional Chinese medicine, after the seal of the medicine bag seals the medicine bag, it winds around the bottom of the connecting rod 122 for one week, and then the end is clamped and fixed in the clamping member 123, which can ensure that during the process of decocting traditional Chinese medicine, the medicine bag can always be close to the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 and will not float due to the buoyancy of the water in the decocting pot 100.

[0052] In another embodiment, 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 in the outer pot. Specifically, when the inner support assembly 120 is placed in the outer pot 110, the two protrusions 111 are located between the two connecting rods 122 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 in the outer pot 110.

[0053] Specifically, a support rod connecting the two connecting rods 122 is provided between the two connecting rods 122 in a group, and the support rod is arranged at a position close to the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120; when decocting traditional Chinese medicine, after the seal of the medicine bag seals the medicine bag, it passes through the lower part of the support rod from the inside to the outside of the inner support assembly 120, and then the end is clamped and fixed in the clamping member 123, which can ensure that during the process of decocting traditional Chinese medicine, the medicine bag can always be close to the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 and will not float due to the buoyancy of the water in the decocting pot 100. As a preferred solution, the seal can be wound around the support rod for one week and then extended to the clamping member 123 for clamping and fixing.

[0054] Furthermore, a rib 112 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110, and the rib 112 is arranged in a ring around the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110. When transporting the decocting pot 100, the transporting member clamps the pot wall of the outer pot 110 below the rib 112.

[0055] In this embodiment, a rib 112 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110, and the rib 112 is arranged in a ring around the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110. 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 member to clamp the decocting pot 100.

[0056] Specifically, when transporting the decocting pot 100, transporting members such as a forklift truck and a gripper will clamp the pot wall of the outer pot 110 below the rib 112. Due to the design of the rib 112, the transporting member can clamp the outer pot 110 more stably, preventing accidental situations such as slipping or tipping over during transportation.

[0057] Furthermore, at least two annular ribs 112 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110. When transporting the decocting pot 100, the transporting component clamps the pot wall of the outer pot 110 between the two annular ribs 112.

[0058] In this embodiment, to further enhance the stability and safety of the decocting pot 100 during transportation, at least two annular ribs 112 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110. The two annular ribs 112 are arranged circumferentially along the pot wall of the outer pot 110, and the two annular ribs 112 are spaced apart axially on the outer pot 110, and the spacing distance thereof at least satisfies the clamping of the transporting component.

[0059] Specifically, when transporting the decocting pot 100, transporting components such as a transport cart, a gripper, etc. will clamp the part of the pot wall of the outer pot 110 between the two annular ribs 112. Due to the presence of the two annular ribs 112, the transporting component can clamp the outer pot 110 more firmly, preventing it from shaking or slipping during transportation.

[0060] Furthermore, a carrier 130 is provided at the bottom of the outer pot 110, and the movement of the decocting pot 100 on the conveyor line of the automatic decocting system is realized through the carrier 130.

[0061] Furthermore, the carrier 130 includes: a support plate 131, and the support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the outer pot 110; a conveying module 132, and the conveying module 132 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the support plate 131 and is detachably connected to the support plate 131; Preferably, the support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the outer pot 110 by welding.

[0062] In this embodiment, to improve the automation degree and movement convenience of the decocting pot 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.

[0063] The carrier 130 is mainly composed 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, providing stable support for the entire decocting pot 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, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the decocting pot 100.

[0064] As a preferred solution, the support plate 131 and the outer pot 110 are fixed together by welding. Welded connection has the advantages of high strength, good sealing performance, firm connection, etc., which can ensure that there is no relative displacement or looseness between the support plate 131 and the outer pot 110 during the movement of the decocting pot 100, simplify the installation process and improve work efficiency.

[0065] Specifically, the support plate 131 is a square sheet metal structure, and a bent and formed fixing portion 1311 is provided at its edge; the bent and formed fixing portion 1311 is 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 pot 100, the fixing device cooperates with the fixing portion 1311 to achieve the fixing function. The fixing portion 1311 is an L-shaped structure, which first bends upward from the plane of the support plate 131 and then bends horizontally, and the connection of each bent section is in an arc transition. The conveying module 132 covering 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 conveying 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 pot 100 and the adaptability to the conveyor belt.

[0066] As Figures 6 to 15 shown, the present invention discloses a decocting pot scrubbing device.

[0067] The decocting pot scrubbing device 500 includes a frame body 501, and the frame body 501 is a rectangular structure assembled and welded by steel. The inside of the frame body 501 is hollow to form a space. At the top of the frame body 501, two straight tracks 5011 extending linearly in the horizontal direction are provided, and the two straight tracks 5011 are parallel to each other. The extending direction of the two straight tracks 5011 is set along the length direction of the frame body 501.

[0068] An inner support component grabbing mechanism 502 and an outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 are slidably connected to the two straight tracks 5011, and the arrangement direction of the inner support component grabbing mechanism 502 and the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 is arranged along the extending direction of the straight track 5011.

[0069] A transverse pushing device 504 is arranged between the two straight tracks 5011, and the pushing direction of the transverse pushing device 504 is set along the extending direction of the straight track 5011. The transverse pushing device 504 is respectively connected to the frame body 501, the inner support component grabbing mechanism 502 and the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503. The transverse pushing device 504 is used to push the inner support component grabbing mechanism 502 and the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 to move reciprocally along the extending direction of the straight track 5011.

[0070] Specifically, the horizontal pushing device 504 uses a cylinder. The cylinder block of the cylinder is fixed to the inner support assembly grabbing mechanism 502 and the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the frame 501. When the telescopic rod of the cylinder gradually extends outwards from the inside of the cylinder block or gradually retracts into the cylinder block, the cylinder pulls the inner support assembly grabbing mechanism 502 and the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 to move.

[0071] In the internal space of the frame 501, a flushing mechanism 505, a loading platform 506, and an inner support assembly cleaning module 507 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the middle region in the height direction of the frame 501. Among them, the flushing mechanism 505 is used to clean the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503, the loading platform 506 is used to place the decocting pot, and the inner support assembly cleaning module 507 is used to clean the inner support assembly 120.

[0072] In this embodiment, the inner support assembly grabbing mechanism 502 includes a moving body 5021 slidably connected to the linear track 5011. A grabbing assembly 5022 is arranged below the moving body 5021. A first vertical pushing device 5023 vertically arranged is fixed on the moving body 5021. The first vertical pushing device 5023 is connected to the moving body 5021, and the first vertical pushing device 5023 is used to drive the grabbing assembly 5022 to rise or fall.

[0073] When the height stroke of the grabbing assembly 5022 includes an initial position and a grabbing position, where the initial position is the highest position in the moving stroke of the grabbing assembly 5022, and the grabbing position is the lowest position in the moving stroke of the grabbing assembly 5022. When the grabbing assembly 5022 arrives at the grabbing position driven by the first vertical pushing device 5023, the grabbing assembly 5022 can grab the inner support assembly 120 of the decocting pot 100 placed on the loading platform 506 or the inner support assembly 120 placed on the inner support assembly cleaning module 507.

[0074] Specifically, the first vertical pushing device 5023 uses a cylinder. The cylinder block of the cylinder is fixed together with the moving body 5021. The telescopic rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the grabbing assembly 5022. When the telescopic rod of the cylinder gradually extends out from the cylinder block or gradually retracts into the cylinder block, the telescopic rod drives the grabbing assembly 5022 to lift and lower.

[0075] In this embodiment, a plurality of first guide rods 5024 are arranged between the grabbing assembly 5022 and the moving body 5021. The first guide rods 5024 are vertically arranged. The bottom ends of the first guide rods 5024 are fixed to the grabbing assembly 5022. The rod bodies of the first guide rods 5024 penetrate through the moving body 5021. The first guide rods 5024 slide relative to the moving body 5021.

[0076] A first connecting frame 5025 is arranged between the tops of multiple first guide rods 5024, and the multiple first guide rods 5024 are all fixed to the first connecting frame 5025. Through the first connecting frame 5025, the tops of the multiple first guide rods 5024 can be connected into one body, so that when the first guide rods 5024 move, the first guide rods 5024 are not likely to shake.

[0077] In this embodiment, the grasping assembly 5022 includes a main body part 50221, and the main body part 50221 is in a rectangular plate-like structure. The main body part 50221 is arranged horizontally. The bottom end of the first guide rod 5024 is fixed to the main body part 50221 of the grasping assembly 5022. The first vertical pushing device 5023 is connected to the main body part 50221.

[0078] Below the main body part 50221, two clamping blocks 50222 are arranged horizontally opposite to each other. The two clamping blocks 50222 are movably arranged, and the moving directions of the two clamping blocks 50222 are horizontally arranged. A first pushing member 50223 is arranged between one of the clamping blocks 50222 and the main body part 50221, and the first pushing member 50223 is connected to the main body part 50221 and the clamping block 50222. The first pushing member 50223 is used to push the connected clamping block 50222 to move horizontally. A second pushing member 50224 is arranged between the other clamping block 50222 and the main body part 50221, and the second pushing member 50224 is connected to the main body part 50221 and the clamping block 50222. The second pushing member 50224 is used to push the connected clamping block 50222 to move horizontally.

[0079] The two clamping blocks 50222 approach or move away from each other under the pushing of the first pushing member 50223 and the second pushing member 50224. When the two clamping blocks 50222 approach each other, the distance between the two clamping blocks 50222 can clamp and fix the support plate 121 of the inner support assembly 120. When the two clamping blocks 50222 move away from each other, the distance between the two clamping blocks 50222 is greater than the outer diameter of the support plate 121.

[0080] Specifically, the first pushing member 50223 adopts a cylinder, and the cylinder is arranged horizontally. The cylinder block of the cylinder is fixed to the main body part 50221, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the clamping block 50222.

[0081] The second pushing member 50224 adopts a cylinder, and the cylinder is arranged horizontally. The cylinder block of the cylinder is fixed to the main body part 50221, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the clamping block 50222.

[0082] Preferably, a card slot is provided on the opposite side surfaces of the two clamping blocks 50222. The card slot can allow the outer edge of the support plate 121 to be snapped in. When the two clamping blocks 50222 clamp the support plate 121, the card slot on the clamping block 50222 faces the support plate 121 of the inner support assembly 120, and the edge of the support plate 121 is snapped into the card slot. By snapping the edge of the support plate 121 into the card slot, when the two clamping blocks 50222 lift and move the inner support assembly 120, the inner support assembly 120 can be more stably clamped between the two clamping blocks 50222.

[0083] In this embodiment, the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 includes a sliding body 5031 slidably connected to the linear track 5011. The sliding body 5031 is connected to the lateral pushing device 504. A slag scraping assembly 5032 is provided below the sliding body 5031. The slag scraping assembly 5032 is movably arranged and the moving direction of the slag scraping assembly 5032 is vertically arranged. A second vertical pushing device 5033 vertically arranged is provided on the sliding body 5031. The second vertical pushing device 5033 is connected to the sliding body 5031 and the slag scraping assembly 5032. The second vertical pushing device 5033 is used to push the slag scraping assembly 5032 to rise and fall.

[0084] The moving stroke of the slag scraping assembly 5032 includes an initial position and a working position. The initial position is the highest position in the moving stroke of the slag scraping assembly 5032, and the working position is the lowest position in the moving stroke of the slag scraping assembly 5032. When the slag scraping assembly 5032 is located above the outer pot 110, when the slag scraping assembly 5032 descends to the working position, the slag scraping assembly 5032 extends into the pot cavity of the outer pot 110, so as to scrape and clean the inner wall of the pot cavity of the outer pot 110.

[0085] Preferably, a plurality of second guiding rods 5034 are provided between the slag scraping assembly 5032 and the sliding body 5031. The second guiding rods 5034 are vertically arranged. The bottom ends of the second guiding rods 5034 are fixed to the slag scraping assembly 5032. The rod bodies of the second guiding rods 5034 penetrate through the sliding body 5031. The second guiding rods 5034 slide relative to the sliding body 5031.

[0086] A second connecting frame 5035 is provided between the tops of the plurality of second guiding rods 5034. The plurality of second guiding rods 5034 are all fixed to the second connecting frame 5035. Through the second connecting frame 5035, the tops of the plurality of second guiding rods 5034 can be connected into one body, so that when the second guiding rods 5034 move, the second guiding rods 5034 are not prone to shaking.

[0087] In this embodiment, the slag scraping assembly 5032 includes a gland 50321 arranged horizontally, and the gland 50321 can cover the top of the outer pot 110 below. The second vertical pushing device 5033 is connected to the gland 50321. A vertically arranged slag scraping frame 50322 is arranged below the gland 50321, and the top of the slag scraping frame 50322 is rotatably connected to the gland 50321. A motor 50323 is fixed on the gland 50321, and the motor shaft of the motor 50323 is connected to the slag scraping frame 50322. When the motor 50323 is started, the motor shaft of the motor 50323 drives the slag scraping frame 50322 to rotate.

[0088] Specifically, the slag scraping frame 50322 includes a central frame body 503221 rotatably connected to the gland 50321. Vertically arranged vertical brushes 503222 are arranged on opposite sides of the central frame body 503221. The brush surfaces of the vertical brushes 503222 face away from the central frame body 503221. Connecting rods 503223 are arranged between the top and bottom of the vertical brushes 503222 and the central frame body 503221. One end of the connecting rod 503223 is hinged to the central frame body 503221, and the other end of the connecting rod 503223 is hinged to the vertical brush 503222. A horizontally arranged horizontal brush 503224 is fixed to the bottom end of the central frame body 503221, and the brush surface of the horizontal brush 503224 faces downward.

[0089] When the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 cleans the outer pot 110, the second vertical pushing device 5033 pushes the slag scraping assembly 5032 to move towards the outer pot 110, so that the slag scraping frame 50322 extends into the pot cavity of the outer pot 110 until the gland 50321 covers the top of the outer pot 110. When the slag scraping frame 50322 extends into the pot cavity of the outer pot 110, the brush surface of the horizontal brush 503224 contacts the inner wall of the bottom of the outer pot 110.

[0090] When the slag scraping frame 50322 is not rotating, under the action of gravity, the end of the connecting rod 503223 connected to the vertical brush 503222 is lower than the end of the connecting rod 503223 connected to the central frame body 503221, so that the vertical brush 503222 droops, and the surface of the two vertical brushes 503222 facing away from each other is smaller than the diameter of the pot cavity of the outer pot 110, so that the slag scraping frame 50322 can extend into the pot cavity of the outer pot 110. When the slag scraping frame 50322 rotates, under the action of centrifugal force, the connecting rod 503223 is in a horizontal state, and the brush surfaces of the two vertical brushes 503222 can contact the inner wall of the pot cavity of the outer pot 110. As the slag scraping frame 50322 rotates, the brush surface of the vertical brush 503222 scrapes the side parts of the inner wall of the pot cavity of the outer pot 110, and the brush surface of the horizontal brush 503224 scrapes the inner wall of the bottom of the outer pot 110.

[0091] In this embodiment, the flushing mechanism 505 is used to flush the slag scraping frame 50322 of the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism. The flushing mechanism 505 includes a cleaning pot 5051 fixed on the frame body 501, and the mouth of the cleaning pot 5051 faces upward. The mouth of the cleaning pot 5051 can allow the slag scraping frame 50322 to pass through and extend into the interior of the cleaning pot 5051.

[0092] A water supply pipeline 5052 communicating with the interior of the cleaning pot 5051 is arranged outside the cleaning pot 5051, and the water supply pipeline 5052 is fixed together with the frame body 501 and the cleaning pot 5051. The water supply pipeline 5052 includes a water inlet section 50521, a three-way joint 50522, a first shunt section 50523 and a second shunt section 50524. One end of the water inlet section 50521 is connected to one of the interfaces of the three-way joint 50522, and the other end of the water inlet section 50521 is for the water supply device. A valve 50525 is installed on the water inlet section 50521, and the valve 50525 is used to control the connection and disconnection of the water inlet section 50521.

[0093] One end of the first shunt section 50523 is communicated with one of the remaining two interfaces of the three-way joint 50522, and the other end of the first shunt section 50523 penetrates the pot wall of the cleaning pot 5051 and is thus communicated with the interior of the cleaning pot 5051. One end of the second shunt section 50524 is communicated with the remaining interface of the three-way joint 50522, and the other end of the second shunt section 50524 penetrates the pot wall of the cleaning pot 5051 and is thus communicated with the interior of the cleaning pot 5051.

[0094] Preferably, the outlet at one end where the first shunt section 50523 is communicated with the interior of the cleaning pot 5051 is opposite to the outlet at one end where the second shunt section 50524 is communicated with the interior of the cleaning pot 5051.

[0095] A sewage discharge pipe 5053 communicating with the interior of the cleaning pot 5051 is fixed at the bottom of the cleaning pot 5051, and the sewage in the cleaning pot 5051 is discharged through the sewage discharge pipe 5053. A stop valve 5054 is installed on the sewage discharge pipe 5053, and the opening and closing of the sewage discharge pipe 5053 are controlled by the stop valve 5054.

[0096] When it is necessary to flush the slag scraping frame 50322 of the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503, first move the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 directly above the cleaning pot 5051 so that the slag scraping frame 50322 and the mouth of the cleaning pot 5051 are opposite up and down. The second vertical pushing device 5033 pushes the pressing cover 50321 downward to cover the top of the cleaning pot 5051, and water is supplied into the cleaning pot 5051 through the water supply pipeline 5052 to flush the slag scraping frame 50322 located in the cleaning pot 5051.

[0097] When flushing the slag scraping frame 50322, start the motor 50323 to drive the slag scraping frame 50322 to rotate, making it easier for the medicinal residues attached to the vertical brush 503222 and the horizontal brush 503224 to fall off.

[0098] In this embodiment, the load platform 506 includes a main platform 5061 fixed to the frame body 501, and the main platform 5061 is horizontally arranged. Above the main platform 5061, there is a lifting platform 5062 which is movably arranged, and the moving direction of the lifting platform 5062 is vertically arranged.

[0099] A jacking and pushing device 5063 is fixed on the main platform 5061. The jacking and pushing device 5063 is connected to the lifting platform 5062 and the main platform 5061 respectively. The jacking and pushing device 5063 is used to drive the lifting platform 5062 to rise or fall. By controlling the lifting of the lifting platform 5062, the height of the lifting platform 5062 can be adjusted according to decocting pots of different heights.

[0100] Specifically, the jacking and pushing device 5063 uses a cylinder. The cylinder body of the cylinder is fixed to the main platform 5061. The piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the lifting platform 5062. When the piston rod of the cylinder gradually extends out of the cylinder body, the lifting platform 5062 rises. When the piston rod of the cylinder gradually retracts into the cylinder body, the lifting platform 5062 descends.

[0101] Between the lifting platform 5062 and the main platform 5061, a plurality of guiding columns 5064 are also arranged. The guiding columns 5064 are fixed to the lifting platform 5062, penetrate through the main platform 5061 and slide relative to the main platform 5061.

[0102] On the upper surface of the lifting platform 5062, two locking pins 5065 extending vertically upward are also arranged. The locking pins 5065 are fixedly connected to the lifting platform 5062. On the support plate 131 of the decocting pot, locking holes 1312 with the same number as the locking pins 5065 are provided. When placing the decocting pot on the lifting platform 5062, the locking pins 5065 and the locking holes 1312 on the support plate 131 are in one-to-one correspondence, and the locking pins 5065 are inserted into the locking holes 1312. When the locking pins 5065 are inserted into the locking holes 1312, the decocting pot placed on the lifting platform 5062 is restricted, restricting the free end in the horizontal direction of the decocting pot, so that the decocting pot cannot move in the horizontal direction anymore.

[0103] When the slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 of the outer pot scrapes the inside of the outer pot, since the locking pin 5065 is inserted into the locking hole 1312 of the support plate 131 of the decocting pot, when the slag scraping frame 50322 rotates and scrapes the slag inside the outer pot 110, the position of the outer pot will not move.

[0104] In this embodiment, the inner support assembly cleaning module 507 includes a horizontally arranged bracket 5071, and the bracket 5071 is fixedly connected to the frame body 501. A through hole 50771 penetrating the support plate is provided on the plate surface of the bracket 5071. The width of the through hole 50771 is smaller than the outer diameter of the support plate 121, and the size of the through hole 50771 can enable the connecting rod 122 and the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 to pass through. When placing the inner support assembly 120 on the bracket 5071, the inner support assembly 120 is in a vertical state, and the bottom plate 124 and the connecting rod 122 of the inner support assembly 120 are passed through the through hole 50771. Finally, the lower surface of the support plate 121 abuts against the upper surface of the bracket 5071, and the bracket 5071 supports the support plate 121.

[0105] A clamping assembly 5072 is provided below the bracket 5071, and the clamping assembly 5072 is used to clamp and fix the inner support assembly 120 supported by the bracket 5071.

[0106] Specifically, the clamping assembly 5072 includes two relatively arranged clamping claws 50721. A third pushing member 50722 is provided between each clamping claw 50721 and the frame body 501. One end of the third pushing member 50722 is fixed to the clamping claw 50721, and the other end of the third pushing member 50722 is fixedly connected to the frame body 501. The third pushing member 50722 pushes the connected clamping claw 50721 to move. The two clamping claws 50721 approach or move away from each other under the pushing of the two third pushing members 50722.

[0107] The moving positions of the clamping claws 50721 include a release position and a clamping position. When the two clamping claws 50721 are in the release position, both clamping claws 50721 are located outside the vertically downward projection area of the through hole 50771, and the two clamping claws 50721 are located on opposite sides of the vertically downward projection area of the through hole 50771. When the clamping claw 50721 moves from the release position to the clamping position, the clamping claw 50721 moves downward to the directly below of the through hole 50771 under the pushing of the third pushing member 50722, and clamps and fixes the inner support assembly 120 passing through the through hole 50771.

[0108] When the inner support assembly 120 is placed on the bracket 5071, the two clamping jaws 50721 approach each other, and the two clamping jaws 50721 clamp and fix the inner support assembly 120 between them. When it is necessary to release the inner support assembly 120, the two clamping jaws 50721 move away from each other and disengage from the inner support assembly 120.

[0109] Specifically, the third pushing member 50722 is a cylinder. The cylinder is horizontally arranged. The cylinder block of the cylinder is fixed to the frame body 501. The piston rod of the cylinder is fixed to the clamping jaw 50721. When the piston rod of the cylinder gradually extends out of the cylinder block, the piston rod drives the clamping jaw 50721 to approach another clamping jaw 50721. When the piston rod of the cylinder gradually retracts into the cylinder block, the piston rod drives the clamping jaw 50721 to move away from another clamping jaw 50721.

[0110] The inner support assembly cleaning module 507 further includes an upper cleaning brush 5073 and a lower cleaning brush 5074 that are movably arranged. The upper cleaning brush 5073 includes a brush handle and bristles densely distributed on one surface of the brush handle. The bristles are fixed to the brush handle. The bristles of the upper cleaning brush 5073 face downward. The lower cleaning brush 5074 includes a brush handle and bristles densely distributed on one surface of the brush handle. The bristles are fixed to the brush handle. The bristles of the lower cleaning brush 5074 face upward.

[0111] When the inner support assembly 120 is placed on the bracket 5071, the height of the brush handle of the upper cleaning brush 5073 is higher than the upper surface of the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120. The bottom of the bristles on the brush surface of the upper cleaning brush 5073 is lower than the upper surface of the bottom plate 124, and the top of the bristles is higher than the upper surface of the bottom plate 124. The height of the brush handle of the lower cleaning brush 5074 is lower than the lower surface of the bottom plate 124. The top of the bristles on the brush surface of the lower cleaning brush 5074 is higher than the lower surface of the bottom plate 124, and the bottom of the bristles on the brush surface of the lower cleaning brush 5074 is lower than the lower surface of the bottom plate 124.

[0112] The height of the upper cleaning brush 5073 is lower than the height of the clamping assembly 5072.

[0113] A fourth pushing member 5075 is arranged between the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the frame body 501. The fourth pushing member 5075 is connected to the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the frame body 501 respectively. The fourth pushing member 5075 pushes the upper cleaning brush 5073 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0114] Specifically, the fourth pusher 5075 is a cylinder. The cylinder is horizontally arranged. The cylinder block of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the frame body 501, and the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper cleaning brush 5073. When the piston rod of the cylinder moves, it drives the upper cleaning brush 5073 to move.

[0115] A fifth pusher 5076 is arranged between the lower cleaning brush 5074 and the frame body 501. The fifth pusher 5076 is respectively connected to the lower cleaning brush 5074 and the frame body 501. The fifth pusher 5076 pushes the lower cleaning brush 5074 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0116] Specifically, the fifth pusher 5076 is a cylinder. The cylinder is horizontally arranged. The cylinder block of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the frame body 501, and the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower cleaning brush 5074. When the piston rod of the cylinder moves, it drives the lower cleaning brush 5074 to move.

[0117] When the inner support assembly 120 is placed on the bracket 5071, the connecting rod 122 connecting the connecting support plate 121 and the bottom plate 124 is distributed on the side of the moving paths of the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the lower cleaning brush 5074.

[0118] There are two position points on the moving paths of the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the lower cleaning brush 5074. The two position points are the starting position and the ending position. The starting position and the ending position are respectively located on the opposite sides of the downward projection area of the through hole 50771. When the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the lower cleaning brush 5074 move from the starting position to the ending position, the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the lower cleaning brush 5074 clean the upper surface and the lower surface of the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 placed on the bracket 5071. After the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the lower cleaning brush 5074 sweep across the surface of the bottom plate 124, the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the lower cleaning brush 5074 return to the initial position.

[0119] On the upper surface of the bracket 5071, there are two vertically arranged positioning pins 5077, and the positioning pins 5077 are relatively fixed with respect to the bracket 5071. The two positioning pins 5077 are symmetrically arranged with the through hole 50771 as the center. On the pallet 121, there are two positioning holes 1211 vertically penetrating the pallet 121, and the hole distance between the two positioning holes 1211 matches the distance between the two positioning pins 5077. When the bracket 5071 holds the pallet 121, the positioning pins 5077 and the positioning holes 1211 are in one-to-one correspondence, and the positioning pins 5077 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 1211. By inserting the positioning pins 5077 into the positioning holes 1211, the position state of the inner support assembly 120 is the same every time it is placed on the bracket 5071. And the connecting rod 122 of the inner support assembly 120 is located on both sides of the moving paths of the upper cleaning brush 5073 and the lower cleaning brush 5074.

[0120] In this embodiment, the arrangement order direction of the flushing mechanism 505 and the loading platform 506 is the same as that of the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 and the inner support assembly grasping mechanism 502. When the inner support assembly grasping mechanism 502 moves to directly above the loading platform 506, the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 is directly above the flushing mechanism 505.

[0121] When the inner support assembly grasping mechanism 502 moves onto the loading platform 506, the inner support assembly grasping mechanism 502 can grasp the inner support assembly 120 of the decocting pot placed on the loading platform 506, separating the inner support assembly 120 from the outer pot 110. After the inner support assembly grasping mechanism 502 lifts the inner support assembly 120 out of the outer pot 110, the lateral pushing device 504 simultaneously drives the inner support assembly grasping mechanism 502 and the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 to move, so that the inner support assembly grasping mechanism 502 moves to directly above the inner support assembly cleaning module 507. At this time, the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 is directly above the outer pot 110 on the loading platform 506.

[0122] After the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 is directly above the outer pot 110, the slag scraping component 5032 of the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 extends into the pot cavity of the outer pot 110 to scrape and clean the inner wall of the pot cavity of the outer pot 110. After the slag scraping component 5032 finishes scraping and cleaning the pot cavity of the outer pot 110, the slag scraping component 5032 lifts to the initial position. After the inner support assembly cleaning module 507 finishes cleaning the inner support assembly, the inner support assembly grasping mechanism 502 lifts the cleaned inner support assembly.

[0123] The horizontal pushing device 504 drives the inner support component grasping mechanism 502 and the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 to move simultaneously, so that the inner support component grasping mechanism 502 moves to directly above the outer pot 110, and the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 moves to directly above the flushing mechanism 505. After the inner support component grasping mechanism 502 moves to directly above the outer pot 110, the inner support component grasping mechanism 502 places the inner support component back into the inner part of the outer pot 110. The slag scraping component 5032 of the outer pot slag scraping and cleaning mechanism 503 descends, and the slag scraping frame 50322 extends into the cleaning pot 5051 for cleaning. When the slag scraping frame 50322 finishes cleaning, the slag scraping component 5032 is lifted to the initial position.

[0124] As Figures 16 to 25 shown, a cleaning device 600 of an automated Chinese medicine 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.

[0125] Specifically, the first cleaning carrier 601 is a washing carrier, the second cleaning carrier 602 is a flushing 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 performs a 180° flip, so that the decocting pot is in a state with the opening facing downwards during the cleaning process. In this way, during the cleaning process, the water flows out directly along the inner wall of the decocting pot under its own weight, and there is not too much water stored 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, one 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 to-be-cleaned decocting pot to the flipping device 604, and 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 transports the decocting pot back to the manipulator 604 in the reverse direction. The flipping device 604 grabs the decocting pot and flips it and places it on the conveyor line for circulation. In another implementation, two flipping devices 604 are respectively provided at both ends of the cleaning carrier, namely a first flipping device and a second flipping device. The first flipping device flips the decocting pot from the production line and buckles it onto the cleaning conveyor line, and the second flipping device flips the decocting pot from the cleaning conveyor line and resets it to the production line for circulation.

[0126] In this implementation, the flipping device 604 includes a bracket 6045; a flipping arm 6042, rotatably arranged on the bracket 6045, The anti - detachment claw 6043 is arranged on one side of the flipping arm 6042 and extends to the opening of the inner support component 120 in the decocting pot.

[0127] Specifically, the bracket 6045 is composed of a longitudinal rod, a cross - bar and a vertical rod connected to each other in pairs to form a hollow rectangular frame. The flipping arm 6042 is on the upper side of the bracket 6045. The flipping arm 6042 is controlled by a flipping motor 6041 to grab the outer periphery of the decocting pot for flipping. An anti - detachment claw 6043 is arranged on one side of the flipping arm 6042 and extends towards the opening of the inner support component 120 in the decocting pot, so that part of the anti - detachment claw 6043 is at the opening of the inner support component 120. There is a certain gap or abutment between the part of the anti - detachment claw 6043 at the opening of the inner support component 120 and the inner support component 120. The size of the gap is such that the inner support component 120 cannot fall out of the decocting pot during the flipping process, and the decocting pot will not collide with the inner support component 120 when the production line conveys it to the flipping station. The abutment does not generate mutual force and will not collide during the movement. Through the anti - detachment claw 6043 and the flipping arm 6042, the automatic flipping of the decocting pot is realized, preventing the inner support component 120 from falling out of the decocting pot during the flipping process, removing manual handling and improving the operation efficiency.

[0128] In a further implementation, the anti - detachment claw 6043 is of a plate - like structure, arranged on one side of the flipping arm 6042 close to the opening of the decocting pot and extends to abut against the inner support component 120.

[0129] Specifically, the flipping arm 6042 is U - shaped. The anti - detachment claw 6043 is rotatably arranged on the upper side of the bottom wall of the U - shaped opening. The flipping motor 6041 is connected to a rotating shaft 60411, and 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 conveyor line and the cleaning conveyor line. The anti - detachment claw 6043 is of a plate - like structure and is rotatably arranged on one side of the flipping arm 6042 along the axis of the decocting pot in the direction close to the opening. Taking the state where the anti - detachment claw 6043 supports the inner support component 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 upwards, and the extending distance depends on the height of the inner support component during the picking process. After vertically extending a certain distance, it 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 upwards.

[0130] In a further implementation, the flipping arm 6042 is U - shaped. The anti - detachment claw 6043 is a plate - like structure protruding and extending from the U - shaped opening. The anti - detachment claw 6043 extends towards the rotation direction of the flipping arm 6042 and then protrudes and extends towards the U - shaped opening.

[0131] Specifically, the flipping arm 6042 includes a connecting rod 60421 rotatably connected to the bracket 6045 and a claw 6044 at its end. The anti - detachment claw 6043 is arranged on the claw 6044. The support arm 60421 is U - shaped. The anti - detachment claw 6043 extends a certain distance along the rotation direction from the support arm 60421. The extended 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 horizontally extends a certain distance towards the U - shaped opening, extending to the opening of the inner support assembly 120. The extending method can be an arc extension or a straight extension.

[0132] 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.

[0133] Specifically, the support arm 60421 is formed by connecting two side arms and a bottom arm of the support arm 60421 to form a U - shape. The anti - detachment claw 6043 vertically extends a certain distance along the rotation direction from the bottom arm, and then horizontally extends a certain distance towards the U - shaped opening end.

[0134] 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.

[0135] Specifically, there are two anti - detachment claws 6043, symmetrically arranged at the ends of the two side arms close to the U - shaped opening. The anti - detachment claw 6043 vertically extends along the rotation direction from one side of the U - shaped side arm close to the opening of the decocting pot. After extending a certain distance, it horizontally extends towards the U - shaped opening, that is, the opening of the inner support assembly 120 of the decocting pot, so that the horizontally extended end of the anti - detachment claw 6043 is arranged with a gap or in contact with the inner support assembly 120. By the anti - detachment claws 6043 on the side arms extending, the inner support assembly 120 of the decocting pot is prevented from falling during the flipping process.

[0136] In a further implementation scheme, 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.

[0137] Specifically, the anti - detachment claw 6043 extends to the end of the opening of the inner support assembly 120 away from the inner arm of the U - shape 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.

[0138] In a further embodiment, a gasket is provided on the side of the anti-drop 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-drop claw 6043. During the flipping process of the decocting pot, the inner support assembly 120 will move towards the anti-drop 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-drop claw 6043 caused by the collision and affecting normal use.

[0139] In a further embodiment, a flipping motor 6041 is provided on the bracket 6045. The flipping motor 6041 is connected to a flipping arm 6042 through a rotating shaft. An anti-drop claw 6043 for preventing the inner support assembly 120 of the decocting pot from falling during the flipping process is provided on one side of the flipping arm 6042. A claw 6044 for grasping and flipping the outer pot 110 is provided at the end of the flipping arm 6042.

[0140] Specifically, two mounting brackets 60451 are symmetrically provided on the bracket 6045. A rotating shaft 60411 is rotatably connected between the two mounting brackets 60451. A driving device for driving the rotating shaft 60411 is provided on the 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. Here, the flipping motor 6041 is taken as an example. 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 clamps on the outer periphery of the decocting pot. The anti-drop claw 6043 is provided on the side of the flipping arm 6042 along the axial opening direction of the decocting pot. During the flipping process, the anti-drop claw 6043 is located on the opening side of the inner support assembly 120, preventing the inner support assembly 120 from falling out of the outer pot 110.

[0141] In a further embodiment, the anti-drop claw 6043 is connected to a rotating device 60431, and the anti-drop claw 6043 is driven to rotate by the rotating device 60431. The anti-drop claw 6043 is further provided with an adjustment hole 60432 for adjusting the height of the anti-drop claw 6043.

[0142] 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, and 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.

[0143] In this embodiment, the decocting pot is moved to the first cleaning carrier 601 along the cleaning conveyor line. A circulating water tank 6011 for cleaning the decocting pot is communicated with the bottom of the first cleaning carrier 601. The cleaned water flows back to the circulating water tank 6011 through a water pipe, so that the water in the circulating water tank 6011 is 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 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 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 extending 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.

[0144] Specifically, the water outlet of the first cleaning carrier 601 is communicated with the upper end of the circulating water tank 6011 through a water pipe, and the water inlet is communicated with the lower end of the circulating water tank 6011 through a water pipe. The first support rod 6013 is located inside or at the bottom of the first cleaning carrier 601 through a lifting motor or other existing devices that can realize 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, and supports 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 wash the decocting pot. In a preferred embodiment, a spraying port is also provided at a position near the end of the first support rod 6013 to cooperate with the first inner spraying device 6012 to clean the inside of the decocting pot, and clean the areas that are not easy to clean or have poor cleaning effect of the first inner spraying device 6012, so that the decocting pot is washed more cleanly.

[0145] 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.

[0146] Specifically, a first outer spraying device 6014 is rotatably provided on the upper side inside the first cleaning carrier 601. Its rotation axis is coaxially arranged with the decocting pot inside 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 by a certain distance. The extension length is based on the height of the decocting pot. Multiple spraying holes are distributed at intervals on the vertical extension section to wash the outer wall of the periphery of the decocting pot.

[0147] 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 outside. It is rinsed with clean water. The washed water flows into the circulating water tank 6011 through the water outlet. When the water in the circulating water tank 6011 is full, it overflows. The sewage in the circulating water tank 6011 is diluted by the washed water in the second cleaning carrier 602 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 further provided inside 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 wash the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120.

[0148] Specifically, a second inner spray device 6021 and a second support rod 6022 that can move longitudinally are provided inside the second cleaning carrier 602. The water inlet of the second inner spray device 6021 is communicated with a 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 spray device 6021 passes through the through hole in the middle of the inner support assembly 120 and is located between the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 to wash the inner bottom of the outer pot 110 and the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120. In the washing state, a spray port is provided at one end of the second support rod 6022 that abuts against the inner bottom of the outer pot 110 to wash 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 washed. Through the cooperation of the second inner spray device 6021 and the second support rod 6022, the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 are fully washed. The waste water after washing 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 and communicated with the sewer. The water after washing by the second cleaning carrier 602 is cleaner than the water in the water tank 6011. The washing water of 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, reuse the washing water, save water, and at the same time ensure that the decocting pot is cleaned.

[0149] In a further implementation, a second outer spray device 6024 is rotatably provided inside the second cleaning carrier 602 for cleaning the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110.

[0150] Specifically, a second outer spray device 6024 is rotatably provided on the upper side inside the second cleaning carrier 602, and its rotation axis is coaxially arranged with the decocting pot located inside the second cleaning carrier 602. The first outer spray 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 spray holes are distributed at intervals at the vertical extension end to clean the outer wall of the outer periphery of the decocting pot.

[0151] In this implementation, 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 drying device dries the remaining water droplets in the decocting pot to avoid bacteria generation due to water accumulation in the decocting pot and contaminating the medicinal liquid during the next decoction.

[0152] Specifically, an internally air-drying device 6031 and a third support rod that can move longitudinally are provided inside the third cleaning carrier 603. The third support rod passes through the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120 to lift the outer pot 110 by a certain distance, so that there is a certain gap between the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120. The internally air-drying device 6031 is located within the gap to air-dry the inside of the decocting pot. An externally air-drying device 6032 is rotatably provided inside the third cleaning carrier 603. The rotating shaft is coaxially arranged with the decocting pot located inside the third cleaning carrier 603. The externally 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 by 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 by a certain distance. The extension length is based on the height of the decocting pot. A plurality of air-drying holes are distributed at intervals on the vertically extending section to air-dry the outer wall of the decocting pot.

[0153] In this embodiment, a second flipping device 604 is arranged along the direction of the cleaning conveyor line for flipping 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 direction of rotation.

[0154] Specifically, after the decocting pot is washed and dried, it moves on the cleaning conveyor line with the opening facing downward. The upper end surface of the inner support assembly 120 and the surface of the anti-detachment claw 6043 facing the flipping arm 6042 are at the same height, so that the decocting pot can directly move onto the anti-detachment claw 6043 of the flipping device 604 on the cleaning conveyor line. The anti-detachment claw 6043 and the claw 6044 cooperate to flip the decocting pot onto the decocting pot conveyor line under the action of the flipping motor 6041 for another round of traditional Chinese medicine decocting.

[0155] 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 decocting pot, and the convex rib of the outer pot 110 corresponds to the position of the claw 6044. When the decocting pot is transported to the flipping device 604 on the decocting 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 claw 6044, and the convex rib of the outer pot 110 is on the claw 6044.

[0156] Specifically, the clamping claws 6044 are 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 inner walls of the three sides of the U-shaped opening. The clamping claws 6044 are arc-shaped, and a clamping groove is correspondingly arranged in the middle. When the decocting pot is moved to the position of the flipping device 604, the convex rib of the outer pot 110 is exactly located 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-drop claw 6043. The flipping device 604 flips, and the clamping claws 6044 prevent the outer pot 110 from falling during the rotation process, and the anti-drop claw 6043 prevents the inner support assembly 120 from falling during the rotation process. In another implementation, when the decocting pot is moved to the position of the flipping device 604, the convex rib of the outer pot 110 is exactly located above the clamping claws 6044. Through the cooperation of the anti-drop claw 6043 and the clamping claws 6044, the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 are prevented from falling during the rotation process. In still another implementation, 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 outside of the flipping arm 6042 to control the movement of the two clamping claws 6044 at the U-shaped opening end. When the decocting pot is moved to the position of the flipping device 604, the clamping claw cylinder 6047 pushes the clamping claws 6044 to move towards the decocting pot and clamp at the convex rib of the outer pot 110. The convex rib is located in the clamping groove or on the upper side of the clamping claws 6044. Through the cooperation of the clamping claws 6044 and the anti-drop claw 6043, the decocting pot is flipped onto the cleaning conveyor line, and the clamping claws 6044 are controlled to disengage from the outer pot 110, preventing the outer pot 110 and the inner support assembly 120 from falling during the rotation process. In the above implementation, the clamping claws 6044 are made of an elastic material to avoid damaging the outer pot 110 during the clamping process.

[0157] In this implementation, feet 6046 are installed at the bottom end of the bracket 6045. By providing the feet 6046, it can be avoided that during the long-term use process, the bottom of the bracket 6045 is damaged by friction, resulting in the conveyor line being unable to maintain horizontal. At the same time, during the maintenance process of the conveyor line, the feet 6046 can be adjusted to ensure the horizontality of the conveyor line.

[0158] As Figure 9 and Figure 10 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 arranged; a bottom plate 124 for supporting the medicine bag; at least two connecting parts 122-1, arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, connecting the tray 121 and the bottom plate 124.

[0159] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least two connecting parts 122-1 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction are used to 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] Furthermore, 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 number of liquid medicine circulation holes 124a, a number of mating through holes for cleaning are also provided on the bottom plate 124; A number of mating through holes are arranged between a number of liquid medicine circulation holes 124a; specifically, a number of mating 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 mating through holes. There are five mating through holes, namely four first mating through holes 124f and one second mating through hole 124g. 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 circulation holes 124a basically cover the entire bottom plate 124, realizing that the liquid medicine can penetrate into the medicine bag relatively sufficiently. The mating 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.

[0162] 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 circulation 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 circulation water tank 6011 through the water outlet. After the water in the circulation water tank 6011 is full, it overflows, and the water after washing in the second cleaning carrier 602 dilutes the sewage in the circulation 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, 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 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.

[0163] 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, flushing the inner wall of the outer pot 110 near the corner and simultaneously flushing the outer periphery of the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120. 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 circulation water tank 6011. The circulation water tank 6011 is provided with an overflow port. When the water in the circulation water tank 6011 reaches the overflow port and continues to flow in, the water in the circulation 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 circulation water tank 6011. The washing water in the second cleaning carrier 602 neutralizes the water in the circulation water tank 6011 to ensure a certain cleanliness of the water in the circulation water tank 6011, reusing the washing water, saving water and at the same time ensuring that the decocting pot is cleaned thoroughly.
