During the concentration process, the evaporated liquid is simultaneously returned to the concentration component 3 via the heating component 4.

[0021] As one specific implementation of this invention, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The decoction assembly 2 includes: a first barrel 21, a second barrel 22, a decoction barrel lid 23, a second pressure gauge 24, a second safety valve 25, and a second observation window structure 26. Specifically, the first barrel 21 has a receiving cavity for containing liquid; the first barrel 21 has an open end communicating with the receiving cavity; the second barrel 22 is fitted over the first barrel 21; the inner wall of the second barrel 22 is spaced a certain distance from the outer wall of the first barrel 21, that is, a heating space is provided between the second barrel 22 and the first barrel 21. The top of the second barrel 22 is connected and fixed to the outer wall of the first barrel 21 by a sealing ring. The decoction assembly 2 is connected to an oil temperature heating component for heating the first barrel 21 and the second barrel 22. The second barrel 22 is detachably connected to the frame 1 via bolts; the decoction barrel lid 23 is detachably connected to the open end of the first barrel 21; the decoction barrel lid 23 is equipped with a first handle, which allows for convenient and quick movement of the lid.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lower end of the first tank 21 is connected to the drain pipe via a first pipeline, and a first electric ball valve is provided on the first pipeline. A third electric ball valve is provided on the drain pipe. The liquid inside the first tank 21 can be drained out of the first tank 21 through the drain pipe and then transported to the concentration tank 31.

[0023] As one specific implementation of this invention, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The heating assembly 4 includes a heating tank 41 and a steam generator 42. The heating tank 41 is connected to the heating space of the concentration tank 31 via a pipeline, which is connected to a first magnetic pump. A self-priming pump 8 is connected to the evaporator 42 and supplies water to the evaporator 42. The steam generator 42 is connected to the upper side of the heating tank 41 via a pipeline, which is equipped with a control ball valve. Specifically, the top of the heating tank 41 is connected to the heating space between the second body 3112 and the first body 3111 of the concentration tank 31 via a third pipeline. The hot air generated by the steam generator 42 enters the heating tank 41, then enters the heating space between the second body 3112 and the first body 3111 to heat the first body 3111, and then exits from the heating space. The heating assembly 4 is used to improve heat utilization efficiency. The interior of the first barrel 21 is connected to the heating tank 41 through a pipe. A switch is provided on the pipe. The steam generated in the first barrel 21 can enter the heating tank 41 through the pipe to supplement the heating tank 41 with heat and improve the heat utilization rate of the entire device.

[0024] In some feasible embodiments, the heating tank 41 is connected to the receiving cavity of the first barrel 3111 via a pipeline. Specifically, the pipeline is inclined when connected to the receiving cavity of the first barrel 3111, with an inclination angle of 15-50 degrees, preferably 25 degrees. This arrangement allows the liquid in the heating tank to flow downwards along the tank wall after entering the receiving cavity through the pipeline, effectively preventing foam formation. Specifically, the inclined pipeline allows the liquid to flow into the first barrel 3111, lowering the temperature of the concentrated liquid within the first barrel 3111. Furthermore, the liquid in the pipeline flows down the wall of the first barrel 3111 to the liquid evaporation surface, increasing the contact surface area and thus achieving defoaming. In any feasible embodiment, the heating tank 41 specifically adopts a tube heater structure.

[0025] As one specific implementation of this invention, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6The concentration component 3 includes a concentration tank 31 and a defoaming structure 32. The concentration tank 31 is connected to the heating component 4; the defoaming structure 32 communicates with the internal space of the concentration tank 31 and is used to defoam the internal space of the concentration tank 31. The concentration tank 31 is detachably connected to the frame 1 by bolts. The air compressor 7 is connected to the wastewater tank 51 through a pipeline. The wastewater tank 51 is connected to the cooler 52, and the cooler 52 is connected to the defoaming structure 32.

[0026] As one specific implementation of this invention, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The concentration tank 31 includes: a tank body 311, a tank cover 312, a pressure gauge 313, and a safety valve 314. The tank body 311 has a receiving cavity for containing the traditional Chinese medicine liquid; one end of the tank body 311 is open and communicates with the receiving cavity; the tank cover 312 is detachably connected to the open end of the tank body 311; the pressure gauge 313 is installed on the tank cover 312 to detect the pressure inside the concentration tank 31; the safety valve 314 is installed on the tank cover 312 to release pressure inside the concentration tank 31, ensuring the safety of the equipment and users during use.

[0027] In some feasible embodiments, the concentration tank 31 also includes an observation window structure 315 disposed on the tank lid 312. The state of the traditional Chinese medicine liquid within the containment cavity can be observed through the observation window structure 315. Specifically, the observation window structure 315 includes a transparent observation window body 3151 disposed on the tank lid 312, and a cleaning rod 3152 rotatably connected to the transparent observation window body 3151. One end of the cleaning rod 3152 is provided with a cleaning scraper, which contacts the inner wall surface of the transparent observation window body 3151, while the other end of the cleaning rod 3152 penetrates the transparent observation window body 3151 and is a free end. By rotating the cleaning rod 3152, the cleaning scraper can clean the inner wall surface of the transparent observation window body 3151 by scraping, thereby effectively ensuring that the state of the traditional Chinese medicine liquid within the containment cavity can be observed through the transparent observation window body 3151.

[0028] In some feasible embodiments, the concentrate tank body 311 includes: a first tank body 3111 and a second tank body 3112 sleeved outside the first tank body 3111. The first tank body 3111 has a receiving cavity. The inner wall surface of the second tank body 3112 is spaced a certain distance from the outer wall surface of the first tank body 3111, that is, a heating space is provided between the second tank body 3112 and the first tank body 3111. The top end of the second tank body 3112 is connected and fixed to the outer wall surface of the first tank body 3111 by a sealing ring. The heating assembly 4 communicates with the receiving cavity inside the first tank body 3111. The concentrate tank body 311 is provided with a U-shaped tube, one end of which is connected to the upper part of the side of the first tank body 3111, and the other end of which is connected to the bottom of the second tank body 3112. The liquid level of the concentrate can be observed in a timely manner through the U-shaped tube.

[0029] In some feasible embodiments, the lower end of the first tank body 3111 is connected to the drain pipe via a second pipe, which is equipped with a second electric ball valve and a float switch 316. The second pipe is connected to the first pipe, and the solution in the first tank body 21 can enter the first tank body 3111 sequentially through the first pipe and the second pipe.

[0030] In some feasible embodiments, the defoaming tank body 321 is positioned above the concentration tank body 311; the heating tank 41 is positioned above the concentration tank body 311; the defoaming tank body 321 and the heating tank 41 are arranged adjacent to each other. The equipment has a compact structure, which is more conducive to the miniaturization of the structure.

[0031] As one specific implementation of this invention, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6The defoaming structure 32 (i.e., the defoaming component) includes: a defoaming tank body 321 communicating with a receiving cavity inside the concentration tank body 311; a centrifugal impeller 322 disposed within the defoaming tank body 321; and a drive structure 323 connected to the defoaming tank body 321, with the drive structure 323 being drive-connected to the centrifugal impeller 322. The drive structure 323 drives the centrifugal impeller 322 to rotate within the defoaming tank body 321, generating airflow that is blown into the receiving cavity inside the concentration tank body 311 for defoaming. Specifically, the defoaming tank body 321 is a vertically arranged tank, with its bottom connected to the upper part of the concentration tank 311 via a bent pipe structure; the drive structure 323 is disposed at the top of the tank; and the centrifugal impeller 322 is horizontally designed within the tank. The centrifugal impeller 322 is drive-connected to the drive structure 323. More specifically, the drive structure 323 includes a drive motor mounted on the top of the tank, and a transmission shaft with one end meshing with the drive motor and the other end extending into the tank and connected to the centrifugal impeller 322. The transmission shaft is vertically positioned. A vertical airflow is generated through the coordinated placement and orientation of the drive structure 323 and the centrifugal impeller 322. This vertical airflow changes direction along the curved pipe structure and ultimately enters the concentration tank body 311 for defoaming. The cooperation of the defoaming tank body 321, the centrifugal impeller 322, and the drive structure 323 actively breaks up foam as it rises from the surface of the liquid, preventing foam migration to the outlet and effectively solving the problem of material leakage caused by foam. The actively broken material falls back into the original container, eliminating the risk of secondary contamination and effectively ensuring product quality. The rotational speed of the centrifugal impeller 322 can be dynamically adjusted according to actual working conditions, achieving stable defoaming throughout the entire concentration cycle. The defoaming tank body 321 is positioned adjacent to the heating tank 41.

[0032] In some feasible embodiments, the defoaming tank body 321 is provided with a detection structure 33. The detection structure 33 includes a detection probe. The defoaming tank body 321 is provided with an air inlet valve 324, which is communicatively connected to the detection structure 33. The detection probe monitors the foam height. When foam comes into contact with the detection probe, the centrifugal impeller 32 and the pressure relief valve 34 are activated simultaneously to defoam. The air inlet valve 324 works in conjunction with the detection probe to provide pressure reduction. Specifically, when the air inlet valve 324 senses foam through the detection probe, it automatically opens the air inlet valve 324 while activating the centrifugal impeller 322 to perform defoaming operations, thereby reducing the negative pressure inside the pipe and performing foam defoaming.

[0033] As one specific implementation of this invention, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6The heat exchange assembly 5 includes a waste liquid tank 51 and a cooler 52; the waste liquid tank 51 is equipped with a water level gauge glass tube 55. The waste liquid tank 51 is equipped with a spring-loaded venting and pressure relief valve 54. The cooler 52 is connected to the defoaming structure 32. A sixth pipe is located at the bottom of one side of the cooler 52; a seventh pipe is located at the bottom of the other side of the cooler 52. The cooler 52 is connected to the waste liquid tank 51 via an eighth pipe, which is equipped with a quick-release glass pipe sight glass 53. The defoaming tank body 31 is connected to the cooler 52 via a pipe. The cooler 52 is used to liquefy the evaporated gas and allow it to flow into the waste liquid tank 51. The cooler 52 is connected to two pipes, one of which carries cool water to convert steam into water, and the other pipe discharges hot water.

[0034] The defoaming component and the defoaming equipment for extracting and concentrating traditional Chinese medicine provided by this invention include the following steps: Open the lid 23 of the decoction pot and add the raw medicinal materials and purified water into the receiving cavity of the first barrel 21. The process of adding purified water includes: the first barrel 21 is equipped with a water injection pipe connected to the receiving cavity, one end of which is connected to the water supply structure. The water injection pipe has a flow sensor and an electromagnetic control valve, which can preset the amount of water to be added. The electromagnetic control valve and the flow sensor work together to control the amount of water added for the first and second decoctions, completing the automatic water addition operation. Then, close and seal the lid 23 of the decoction pot. Start the oil temperature heating component to heat the raw medicinal materials and purified water in the first barrel 21 and the receiving cavity to carry out the decoction process. During the decoction process, the decoction process can be monitored in a timely manner through the second pressure gauge 24, the second safety valve 25, and the second observation window structure 26.

[0035] After the decoction process is completed, the liquid in the first barrel 21 flows sequentially through the first pipeline and the second pipeline, and then flows into the receiving cavity inside the first barrel 3111 under the action of the electric ball valve. The decoction product in the first barrel 3111 and the receiving cavity is then heated and concentrated. During the concentration process, the decoction process can be monitored in a timely manner through the pressure gauge 313, the safety valve 314, and the observation window 315.

[0036] Performing defoaming simultaneously during the concentration process effectively ensures product quality and production efficiency. The defoaming process includes the following steps: The medicine enters the first barrel 3111 for heating. The medicine in the first barrel 3111 circulates to the heating tank 41. When it flows back in the heating tank 41, it flows down along the barrel wall of the first barrel 3111, which can suppress the foam and perform defoaming.

[0037] The small amount of foam generated in the first barrel 3111 can enter the cooler 52 through the defoaming tank body 31, become liquid in the cooler 52, and then be discharged from the cooler 52.

[0038] When the foam generated inside the first barrel 3111 comes into contact with the detection probe, the centrifugal impeller 32 and the pressure relief valve 34 are activated simultaneously to perform defoaming. Specifically, the air inlet valve 324 senses the foam through the detection probe, and while the centrifugal impeller 322 is activated to perform defoaming, the air inlet valve 324 automatically opens, reducing the negative pressure inside the pipe to perform foam removal. The centrifugal impeller 32 blows air into the receiving cavity inside the first barrel 3111 to perform defoaming, and the defoaming structure 32 effectively prevents foam from overflowing.

[0039] This invention provides an defoaming component and a defoaming device for traditional Chinese medicine extraction, depressurization, and concentration. Compared with existing technologies, through the cooperation of the first tank 21, pipeline structure, electric ball valve structure, and the first tank body 3111, it can automatically realize continuous operation of decoction, second decoction, transfer, and concentration without manual intervention, effectively reducing labor costs. It can also achieve continuous, intelligent, and efficient production, which helps to achieve standardized control of the production process and thus improve the batch stability of batch preparations. The entire continuous operation does not come into contact with the external production environment, cutting off the contamination path at the source, reducing the risk of drug liquid contamination, and ensuring the quality stability of the final product. Through the setting of pressure gauges, safety valves, and observation windows, operators can timely monitor the temperature, pressure, and material status during the decoction and concentration process, achieving precise control of process parameters and effectively ensuring production safety.
