[0002] Drugs whose collection, processing, and preparation are guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory, whose mechanisms of action are explained, and whose clinical applications are guided by it, are collectively referred to as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM primarily originates from natural medicines and their processed products, including botanicals, animal medicines, mineral medicines, and some chemical and biological products. TCM decoction pieces are TCM ingredients that have been processed and prepared according to TCM theory and methods, allowing them to be used directly in TCM clinical practice.

[0003] Hot baking or steaming is a very important process in the processing of Chinese medicinal materials. In particular, for some Chinese medicinal materials that are hard in texture and need to be softened before being sliced or ground into powder, it is particularly important to soften them by hot baking or steaming. However, during the use of existing steaming tanks, Chinese medicinal materials are prone to accumulation. After accumulation, the Chinese medicinal materials at the bottom are relatively compact, making it difficult for steam to penetrate, resulting in poor steaming effect of the Chinese medicinal materials at the bottom, insufficient steaming, and uneven steaming effect of the overall Chinese medicinal materials. In addition, after steaming is completed, the tank body needs to be tilted to take out the materials. In the actual use of the existing technology, it is often necessary to manually rotate the high-pressure tank body to tilt it. On the one hand, it is necessary to manually overcome the huge torque, and during the dumping process, the staff needs to keep the rotation state for a long time, which is inconvenient to use and has certain safety hazards. To this end, we propose a high-pressure steaming and soaking device for Chinese medicinal slices. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1 like Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a high-pressure steaming and soaking device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, comprising a high-pressure tank body 1 and a pouring mechanism 2. The high-pressure tank body 1 is provided with a feeding port 101 at the top and a steam pipe 102 at the bottom. The high-pressure tank body 1 is made of stainless steel and serves as the main body of the steaming tank for holding and steaming Chinese herbal medicines. The high-pressure tank body 1 is cylindrical with an open top and funnel-shaped with a sealed bottom. A sealing cover is provided at the top of the high-pressure tank body 1, with the feeding port 101 defined on one side. The steam pipe 102 is connected to an external steam generator.

[0019] A steam column 3 is provided inside the high-pressure tank body 1, and a steam hole 34 is provided on the surface of the steam column 3 and an air flow channel 35 is provided inside. One end of the steam pipe 102 passes through the bottom of the high-pressure tank body 1 and is connected to the air flow channel 35 of the steam column, and the other end is connected to the steam generating device; a driving motor 5 is installed on the top of the outer wall of the high-pressure tank body 1, and the driving motor 5 transmits power to the scraper 12 through the reduction transmission mechanism, driving the scraper 12 to scrape off the material stuck on the inner wall of the high-pressure tank body 1; the dumping mechanism 2 includes two brackets 21, and the two brackets 21 are arranged on both sides of the high-pressure tank body 1, and the inner side of the bracket 21 on one side is movable A rotating shaft 24 is movably installed, one end of the rotating shaft 24 is movably connected to the outer side of the high-pressure tank body 1 through a bearing, and the side of the high-pressure tank body 1 away from the rotating shaft 24 is movably connected to the inner side of another bracket 21 through a bearing, and a large gear 25 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 24. A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bracket 21 on one side, and a hydraulic telescopic rod 22 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the mounting plate. A gear plate 23 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 22, and the large gear 25 and the gear plate 23 are engaged. An electric control box 26 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bracket 21 on the other side.

[0020] The steam column 3 consists of a fixed end 31 at the lower end and a rotating end at the upper end, and the rotating end can rotate around the axis of the steam column; the fixed end 31 is fixed to the bottom end inside the high-pressure tank body 1; the steam hole 34 is provided on the surface of the rotating end of the steam column.

[0021] A fixed sleeve 36 is sleeved on the rotating end, and a number of evenly distributed extension rods 37 are provided on the fixed sleeve 36 , and the extension rods 37 are perpendicular to the steam column 3 ; stirring blades 4 are sleeved on the extension rods 37 .

[0022] The steam hole 34 is a tapered hole, and the opening of the steam hole 34 at one end connected to the air flow channel 35 is larger than the opening of the steam hole 34 at one end connected to the interior of the high-pressure tank body 1 .

[0023] During steaming, the Chinese medicinal raw materials are fed into the high-pressure tank body 1 through the feeding port 101, and the steam pipe 102 is connected to the external steam generating device, and the external steam generating device feeds the steam into the air flow channel 35 through the steam pipe 102; the hot steam reaches the air flow channel 35 of the steam column 3, and then is ejected from the steam hole 34 of the steam column 3, so as to achieve the purpose of high-pressure steaming of the Chinese medicinal materials in the high-pressure tank body 1; the steam hole 34 is a conical hole. The setting of the conical hole enables the hot steam to generate an oblique driving force when it is ejected from the steam hole 34 to drive the rotating end 32 of the steam column to rotate. The rotation of the rotating end 32 can drive the movement of the Chinese medicinal materials to a certain extent. Although it cannot directly achieve the purpose of uniform stacking of the upper and lower layers of Chinese medicinal materials, it is also very beneficial for the Chinese medicinal materials at the bottom to become loose, which is easier to steam, and can effectively improve the uniformity and efficiency of steaming.

[0024] When steam is ejected from the steam hole 34, the conical hole structure of the steam hole 34 can pressurize the steam to a certain extent, increasing the flow rate of the steam ejection, which is conducive to driving the rotating end 32 of the steam column to rotate and is more conducive to driving the movement of the Chinese medicinal materials, thereby preventing the accumulation of the Chinese medicinal materials at the bottom. At the same time, the extension rod 37 is perpendicular to the steam column 3, and the upper sleeve of the extension rod 37 is provided with an arc-shaped stirring blade 4. When the rotating end 32 of the steam column 3 rotates, the stirring blade 4 has a certain rotation tendency depending on the rotation direction. Then, the stirring blade 4 can also rotate around the extension rod 37, and the rotation produces a stir-frying effect, making the upper and lower layers of the Chinese medicinal materials in the high-pressure tank body 1 more evenly distributed and more sparse, directly improving the uniformity and efficiency of the steaming of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0025] When the steaming is completed and the medicinal materials need to be dumped, the hydraulic telescopic rod 22 is started by operating the electric control box. The hydraulic telescopic rod 22 is extended to drive the tooth plate 23 to move downward until the tooth plate 23 drives the large gear 25 to rotate, thereby making the rotating shaft 24 in a rotating state, thereby driving the high-pressure tank body 1 to rotate, making it convenient to adjust the inclination of the high-pressure tank body 1, thereby dumping the medicinal materials in the high-pressure tank body 1. In this way, the medicinal materials in the high-pressure tank body 1 can be quickly and conveniently taken out after the steaming is completed.

[0026] Example 2 This embodiment provides a high-pressure steaming and soaking device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. Its structure is substantially the same as that of Example 1, except that, based on Example 1, this embodiment further discloses the specific structure of a reduction gear mechanism. The reduction gear mechanism includes a main gear 7 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 5, a driven gear I8 rotatably connected to the top of the high-pressure tank body 1 and meshing with the main gear 7, a gear connecting shaft 9 fixed to the bottom of the driven gear I8, a driven gear II 10 fixed to the bottom end of the gear connecting shaft 9, and a gear ring 11 rotatably connected to the top side of the high-pressure tank body 1 and meshing with the driven gear II 10. A scraper bar 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gear ring 11, with one side of the scraper bar 12 contacting the inner wall of the high-pressure tank body 1. A bearing 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the high-pressure tank body 1, and the movable inner ring of the bearing 13 is sleeved with the outer ring of the gear ring 11. The drive motor 5 is mounted on the top of the high-pressure tank body 1 via a support block 6. The top of the high-pressure tank body 1 is fixedly connected to an installation box 201, and the main gear 7 and driven gear I 8 are both located within the installation box 201. During the cooking process, driven gear I8, meshing with main gear 7, rotates. Driven gear I8 has more teeth than main gear 7, so its speed is lower than that of main gear 7, achieving a reduction in speed. Similarly, driven gears II and I8 are set to have the same number of teeth, while ring gear 11 has more inner teeth than driven gear II10. This reduces the speed of ring gear 11 by a factor of 10, which is lower than that of driven gear II10 and therefore driven gear I8, further reducing the speed. This reduction in speed allows scraper 12 to rotate at a lower speed to avoid scratching the inner wall of the high-pressure tank 1.

[0027] Example 3 This embodiment provides a high-pressure steaming and soaking device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, the structure of which is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, except that, based on embodiment 1, a scraper bar 12 is further disclosed, which is fixedly connected to a scraper head 122 on one side close to the inner wall of the high-pressure tank body 1; the top of the scraper bar 12 is fixedly connected to a fixed disk 121, and the fixed disk 121 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gear ring 11 by bolts. The scraper head 122 has a triangular cross-section, which is convenient for scraping materials through the tip of the triangle. The top of the scraper bar 12 is integrally fixedly connected to the fixed disk 121, and the fixed disk 121 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gear ring 11 by bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and separation between the scraper bar 12 and the gear ring 11. The scraper bar 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the high-pressure tank body 1 through one side, so as to scrape off the Chinese herbal medicine residues stuck on the inner wall of the high-pressure tank body 1.

[0028] It should be noted that the above description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described above can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. In addition, the above are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
