[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is primarily derived from natural plants, animals, minerals, and their processed products. Guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is used to prevent, treat, and diagnose diseases, and has therapeutic and health benefits. Cooking TCM, often called decocting, is a crucial step in preparing herbal decoctions, maximizing the utilization of the active ingredients.
[0003] Currently, the most commonly used Chinese medicine boiling and simmering devices use simple clay pots, earthenware pots, or enamel pots for boiling. However, during the boiling process, lighter Chinese medicines often float on the surface of the water, or when there are a lot of Chinese medicines, some of the Chinese medicines are not fully immersed in the water. This makes it difficult for the active ingredients to precipitate and dissolve, resulting in some waste and reduced efficacy. In addition, when there are a lot of Chinese medicines, most of them will stick to the inner wall of the boiling device, causing the medicine to stick to the wall and burn. Existing boiling devices still have some defects.
[0004] Therefore, a device for cooking and boiling medicine is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] Example 1
[0027] A device for cooking and decocting medicine, comprising: a heating base 1, a heating pot 2, and a pot cover 3; the heating pot 2 is detachably mounted on the upper end of the heating base 1, and the pot cover 3 is detachably mounted on the upper end of the heating pot 2;
[0028] The upper middle end of the pot cover 3 is fixedly mounted with a linear motor 32, a transmission rod 33 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the linear motor 32, a stepping motor 34 is fixedly mounted on the end of the transmission rod 33, and a pressing plate 35 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the stepping motor 34; a scraping assembly is fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the pressing plate 35; the linear motor 32 controls the pressing plate 35 to move up and down while controlling the rotation of the stepping motor 34 to drive the pressing plate 35 to rotate and then drive the scraping assembly to scrape the side wall; the present invention is fixedly mounted with a linear motor 32 on the upper middle end of the pot cover 3, a transmission rod 33 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the linear motor 32, a stepping motor 34 is fixedly mounted on the end of the transmission rod 33, a pressing plate 35 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the stepping motor 34, and a scraping assembly is fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the pressing plate 35. When Chinese medicinal materials adhere to the inner wall of the heating pot 2 during the boiling process (an active timed scraping process in this device), the linear motor 32 is controlled by the control panel 31, and the linear motor 32 drives the transmission rod 33 to move the pressing plate 35 downward until the pressing plate 35 reaches the appropriate position. At the same time, considering the waterproof problem, the stepper motor 34 can be replaced by a small waterproof motor. At this time, the stepper motor 34 is controlled to rotate, and the stepper motor 34 drives the pressing plate 35 to rotate, thereby driving the scraping assembly to scrape the side wall. At the same time, a control panel 31 is also provided at the upper end of the pot cover 3, and a control relationship is established between the control panel 31 and the linear motor 32 and the stepper motor 34; a spout 21 is fixedly provided at the front end of the heating pot 2, and a handle 22 is fixedly installed on the side opposite to the spout 21.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Based on the scraping assembly described in Example 1, the scraping assembly can be used to scrape the Chinese medicinal materials attached to the inner wall of the heating pot 2 during cooking to prevent them from sticking to the side wall. Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the scraping assembly includes a plurality of scrapers 352 arranged in a circular array on the outer edge of the pressing plate 35; the scrapers 352 are of an arc-shaped structure, and the outer side of the scrapers 352 can fit on the inner wall of the heating pot 2; a gap is set between the inner wall of the scraper 352 and the pressing plate 35, and the gap is small, set between 1-3mm, which can allow water to pass through during the boiling time, but cannot allow medicinal materials to pass through, preventing the medicinal materials from leaking through the gap to the upper end of the pressing plate 35 during use; the front end and the lower end of the scraper 352 are thin surfaces; the scraper 352 is The purpose of setting the front end and the lower end as thin surfaces is that since Chinese medicinal materials may be leaves or rhizomes, they may exist in the form of thin surfaces (leaves) or cylinders (rhizomes). Therefore, when scraping them, if they are in the form of cylinders, they can be scraped directly; but if they are in the shape of thin surfaces, they need to be relatively sharp and able to scrape them between the attached leaves and the inner wall of the heating pot 2. Therefore, setting the front end and the lower end of the scraper 352 as thin surfaces can not only scrape the attached film, but also the thinner design makes scraping easier (similar to the principle of scraping with a blade).
[0031] Example 3
[0032] Based on the scraping assembly described in Example 1, the scraping assembly can be used to scrape the Chinese medicinal materials attached to the inner wall of the heating pot 2 during cooking to prevent them from sticking to the side wall. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the scraping assembly includes an annular edge plate 353 arranged in a circular ring on the outer edge of the pressing plate, and the outer side of the edge plate 353 can be attached to the inner wall of the heating pot 2. The edge plate 353 is a wedge-shaped structure, which expands outward from the edge of the pressing plate and fits to the inner wall of the heating pot 2; this structure can directly scrape the medicinal materials applied to the inner wall of the heating pot 2. At the same time, the edge plate 353 is a wedge-shaped structure, which means that the edge of the pressing plate expands outward, that is, the end of the edge plate 353 is a thin arc structure, which can scrape the Chinese medicinal materials while fitting to the inner wall of the heating pot 2.
[0033] Example 4
[0034] In this embodiment, based on the pressing plate described in Example 1, a number of through holes 351 are evenly opened on the pressing plate, and the diameter of the through holes 351 is between 1-3 mm, which can allow water to pass through during the cooking time, but cannot allow the medicinal materials to pass through; at the same time, in this embodiment, considering that if the pressing plate is pressed downward excessively, the medicinal materials will be completely concentrated at the bottom, and the medicinal materials will still be burnt during the cooking process; in order to effectively control the depth of the pressing plate 35; in this embodiment, a monitoring cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the pressing plate 35, and a circular array of circular holes 41 is opened on the side wall of the monitoring cylinder 4; a sensor 43 is fixedly installed inside the monitoring cylinder 4, and the sensor 43 can be a liquid level sensor, which can monitor and feedback when there is a change in the liquid level, and a detachable mounting plate is provided on the outer wall of the monitoring cylinder 4. It is equipped with a movable cylinder 42; the specific process is that when the pressing plate 35 moves downward, the medicinal materials will be pressed and the water will flow out through the through hole 351, and when the water flows through the monitoring cylinder 4, it will flow into the inside through the circular hole 41 on the monitoring cylinder 4. Since a sensor 43 is installed inside, after the sensor 43 detects the inflow of water, it will be used as feedback to the control panel 31 so that the control panel 31 controls the linear motor 32 to stop, so that the pressing plate can stay in the position where the medicinal materials are pressed into the water; at the same time, the time can be set through the control panel 31 so that the rotating plate can rotate regularly; at the same time, based on the scraping assembly described in Example 2, since the pressing plate needs to be rotated and stirred, the structural design of the scraping plate in Example 2 enables it to be rotated in the manner of "blades" during rotation and stirring to achieve better stirring effect.
[0035] At the same time, in order to control the pressing depth of the pressing plate, the monitoring cylinder 4 and the movable cylinder 42 are detachably connected through a thread; after rotating the movable cylinder 42, the through hole 351 on the monitoring cylinder 4 will be covered so that moisture cannot flow through, thereby increasing the depth that water can flow into, thereby realizing the pressing depth control of the pressing plate, and at the same time, a sealing belt can be installed on the rotating cylinder for sealing (soft sealing belt for water pipe connection).
