[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine purification and separation device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine is a type of medicine used by traditional Chinese medicine to prevent, treat, and diagnose diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly based on plant medicinal materials. Compared with Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects. The ingredients contained in existing traditional Chinese medicine are complex, and therefore traditional Chinese medicine needs to be purified and separated to extract the ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicine that have the effect of treating diseases, so as to maximize the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0003] However, there are some problems in the use of existing Chinese medicine purification and separation devices. The existing Chinese medicine purification and separation devices are not convenient for purifying and separating two Chinese medicine materials at the same time. After the Chinese medicine is distilled, the oil and water will be separated after condensation. At this time, it is not convenient to take the oil and water separately, and it is not convenient to collect the water. At the same time, particles may remain in the water, which is not convenient for filtering the particles. When the work is completed and the device needs to be cleaned, the water circulation capacity of the device is insufficient, it is not convenient to clean the inside of the device, and it is not convenient to observe whether the cleaning water inside the device is turbid.

[0038] After the storage frame 1 is condensed, the oil and water will be separated. The pump 26 absorbs the water through the fixed pipe 23, and the water is transported to the adjacent transparent spiral tube 21 through the third hose 25. Then the water enters the vertical cylinder 9 through the second hose 22, thereby collecting the water. During the water transportation process, the first filter 29 and the second filter 32 filter the impurities in the water. Then, the bolt 11 is turned to remove the cover 2 from the top of the storage frame 1 and take out the solidified oil inside the storage frame 1. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the device, the second hose 22 is disassembled and the first hose 10 is installed on the upper surface of the two transparent spiral tubes 21. Clean water is poured into the first cavity inside the storage frame 1. The two pumps 26 circulate and clean the water inside the device. Repeat the operation many times and observe the shape of the water through the transparent spiral tube 21. If it is turbid, it means that the inside of the device is not cleaned. If it is clean, it means that the inside of the device is clean.

[0039] Working principle: When the device starts working, the operator moves the two arc-shaped limit plates 18 upwards, and the arc-shaped limit plates 18 drive the L-shaped rod 19 and the slider 20 to move upwards, and puts water and medicinal materials into the two first cavities inside the storage frame 1, starts the heater 16, and the heater 16 heats the water and medicinal materials inside the storage frame 1. After the water and medicinal materials are boiled, the volatile oil is distilled out with the steam, and then the heater 16 is turned off, the storage frame 1 is condensed, and the oil and water inside the storage frame 1 will be separated, and the pump 26 is started. The pump 26 absorbs the water inside the first cavity through the fixed pipe 23, and the water enters the third hose 25, and the round pipe 31 and the second filter 32 remove impurities in the water. The first filter screen 29 in the connecting cover 24 will filter the impurities in the water for a second time, and the water will pass through the transparent spiral tube 21 and the second hose 22 to enter the vertical cylinder 9, thereby collecting the water. After the work is completed, the bolt 11 is turned and the bolt 11 is removed from the first flange 3 and the second flange 4. The restriction between the storage frame 1 and the cover 2 is released, and the second threaded rod 30 is turned and the second threaded rod 30 is removed from the surface of the transparent spiral tube 21 and the connecting cover 24. The operator holds the handle 15 and moves the handle 15, the fixing plate 14, the first The threaded rod 17 and the vertical rod 12 move upward, and the vertical rod 12 drives the cover plate 2 to move upward. After the cover plate 2 is away from the storage frame 1, the operator takes out the oil inside the storage frame 1, and reinstalls the bolt 11 and the second threaded rod 30, takes out the second hose 22 from the surface of the transparent spiral tube 21, takes out the first hose 10, and puts the two ends of the first hose 10 on the surface of the two transparent spiral tubes 21, adjusts the movable tube 8, and the movable tube 8 moves on the surface of the arc plate 7 through the movable block 27, and then moves the vertical cylinder 9 upward, and the vertical cylinder 9 drives the support ring 28 to move upward, and then pours water into the first cavity on the left side of the storage frame 1, starts the two pumps 26, and the left pump 26 The clean water inside the first cavity on the left is absorbed by the fixed tube 23, and the clean water enters the third hose 25, the connecting cover 24 and one of the transparent spiral tubes 21. The water will enter the other transparent spiral tube 21 through the first hose 10, and enter the first cavity on the right through the adjacent connecting cover 24, the third hose 25, the right pump 26 and the fixed tube 23. Then the right pump 26 is responsible for absorption, and the left pump 26 is responsible for discharge. The operation is repeated many times, during which the water inside the device is replaced. Whether the water is clean can be observed through the transparent spiral tube 21. If the water is turbid, it means that the device has not been cleaned. If the water is clear, it means that the device has been cleaned.
