Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine concentrators, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine concentrator. Background Art

[0002] A Chinese medicine concentrator refers to a device that extracts and concentrates the active ingredients in Chinese medicines. It usually integrates extraction and concentration, and can evaporate and remove excess water inside the Chinese medicine during boiling, so that the concentration of the Chinese medicine liquid after boiling can reach an optimal state.

[0003] However, when the existing Chinese medicine concentrator extracts and concentrates the medicinal liquid, a solvent that is several times larger than the volume of the Chinese medicinal materials is usually added into the machine, so that the Chinese medicinal materials are fully immersed in the solvent. As the water in the machine evaporates, the solvent absorbed by the Chinese medicinal materials cannot quickly precipitate out to form a medicinal liquid, resulting in the medicinal liquid being more likely to remain in the Chinese medicinal materials, causing unnecessary waste of the medicinal liquid. In addition, after the Chinese medicine is extracted and concentrated in the machine, the medicinal residue needs to be discharged from the residue discharge port. Since the medicinal residue is heated at high temperature, it is easy to remain at the bottom of the inner side of the machine, resulting in the medicinal residue in the concentrator being troublesome and time-consuming to clean. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine concentrator to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the Chinese medicine concentrator in this embodiment includes a shell 1, and the shell 1 is also equipped with supporting parts for normal use of the concentrator, so that the concentrator can smoothly extract and concentrate the Chinese medicine. A cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the shell 1, and a piston rod 17 is movably connected to the output end of the cylinder 2. The piston rod 17 can be pushed by the cylinder 2, thereby driving the pressing frame 8 and the wire mesh 9 on the pressing frame 8 to press against the Chinese medicine 10 in the shell 1, so that the medicinal liquid remaining in the Chinese medicine 10 can be squeezed out, thereby reducing unnecessary waste of the medicinal liquid. The bottom end of the piston rod 17 is engaged with the pressing frame 8, and the pressing frame 8 is a circular structure with a cross bracket fixed in the middle, so that When the pressing frame 8 is pressed down, the pressure applied by various parts of the pressing frame 8 to the Chinese medicinal materials 10 can be maintained at the same level. A wire mesh 9 is embedded in the middle of the pressing frame 8. The function of the wire mesh 9 is to allow the squeezed medicinal liquid to pass through the pressing frame 8 and float to the top surface of the Chinese medicinal materials 10, thereby facilitating the smooth extraction of the squeezed medicinal liquid. A medicine feed hopper 4 is penetrated through one side wall of the shell 1. The top of the medicine feed hopper 4 is lower than the bottom of the initial position of the pressing frame 8. At the same time, the interior of the medicine feed hopper 4 is communicated with the interior of the shell 1, so that the inserted medicinal materials can smoothly enter the cavity of the shell 1. The top of the medicine feed hopper 4 is movably engaged with a card cover 18, and the card cover 18 can keep the medicine feed hopper 4 in the unclosed position. When the medicine is put in, it is kept in a closed state, so as to maintain the airtightness inside the shell 1. A steam outlet pipe 3 is penetrated on one side of the top of the shell 1, and the steam outlet pipe 3 can quickly discharge the water vapor formed by heating. A slag discharge pipe 5 is penetrated at the bottom of one side wall of the shell 1. The function of the slag discharge pipe 5 is to quickly discharge the medicine residue in the shell 1. A spiral leaf 15 is arranged inside the slag discharge pipe 5, and the spiral leaf 15 can rotate in the slag discharge pipe 5, so that the Chinese medicine residue can be discharged from the shell 1 smoothly and quickly. A vertical pipe 13 is penetrated on the top of the slag discharge pipe 5, and the vertical pipe 13 is used to connect the slag discharge pipe 5 with the inside of the cavity of the shell 1, so that the medicine residue in the cavity can smoothly enter the outlet. The medicine residue is discharged from the slag pipe 5. Both sides of the top of the vertical pipe 13 are fixedly connected with inclined plates 11. The function of the inclined plate 11 is to tilt the medicine residue at the bottom of the cavity toward the vertical pipe 13, so that the medicine residue in the cavity can smoothly enter the vertical pipe 13. A solenoid valve 12 is installed at the junction of the vertical pipe 13 and the inclined plate 11. The function of the solenoid valve 12 is to control the opening and closing of the top opening of the vertical pipe 13, so that when the traditional Chinese medicine is extracted and concentrated, the bottom of the shell 1 remains in a closed state. A heating mechanism 16 is installed at the bottom end of the inclined plate 11. The heating mechanism 16 increases the temperature in the cavity of the shell 1, which is helpful for the extraction and concentration of the traditional Chinese medicine in the cavity.

[0024] Specifically, a cavity is opened inside the shell 1, and the cavity is filled with Chinese medicinal materials 10. After adding water or other solvents into the cavity, the Chinese medicinal materials 10 will be heated by the heating mechanism 16, so that the Chinese medicinal materials can form a medicinal liquid in the cavity, thereby evaporating excess water in the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0025] Furthermore, the piston rod 17 is movably connected to the outer shell 1, and the pressing frame 8 and the wire mesh 9 are movably connected to the Chinese medicinal materials 10 inside the cavity through the piston rod 17. The pressing frame 8 and the wire mesh 9 can squeeze the Chinese medicinal materials 10 in the cavity when the piston rod 17 is pressed down, so that the residual liquid medicine in the Chinese medicinal materials can be quickly precipitated, thereby reducing unnecessary waste of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0026] Furthermore, a slag outlet 7 is provided at one end of the slag pipe 5 away from the shell 1 , and a support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slag pipe 5 , which can support the suspended section of the slag pipe 5 to prevent the slag pipe 5 from tilting.

[0027] Furthermore, the vertical pipe 13 is connected to the bottom of the cavity inside the shell 1 through the solenoid valve 12, and the vertical pipe 13 is connected to the inside of the slag discharge pipe 5. After the solenoid valve 12 is opened, the vertical pipe 13 can smoothly guide the medicinal residue at the bottom of the inner side of the cavity into the slag discharge pipe 5, thereby achieving contact between the medicinal residue and the spiral leaves 15 in the slag discharge pipe 5.

[0028] Furthermore, one end of the slag discharge pipe 5 away from the slag discharge port 7 is closed and fixedly installed with a rotating motor 14. The output end of the rotating motor 14 is engaged and connected with the spiral blade 15. The rotating motor 14 can drive the spiral blade 15 to rotate, so that the spiral blade 15 crushes the medicinal residue and brings the crushed medicinal residue out of the slag discharge port 7, thereby facilitating the discharge of the medicinal residue and reducing the residual medicinal residue in the outer shell 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the spiral blade 15 is movably connected to the slag discharge pipe 5 through the rotating motor 14. The spiral blade 15 can drive the slag to the slag discharge port 7 of the slag discharge pipe 5, so that the slag in the shell 1 can be discharged smoothly, thereby saving the time of cleaning the slag in the concentrator.

[0030] The method of using the present embodiment is as follows: when using the present Chinese medicine concentrator, the present machine needs to be connected to an external power supply first, and then the Chinese medicinal material 10 is placed into the outer shell 1 through the medicine inlet hopper 4, so that the Chinese medicinal material 10 enters the cavity, and then water or other solvents are added into the outer shell 1, so that the Chinese medicinal material 10 is submerged by the solvent, and then the card cover 18 is closed, and then the heating mechanism 16 is started to heat the Chinese medicinal material 10 and the solvent in the cavity, and then the water vapor generated in the cavity will be discharged from the outer shell 1 through the steam outlet pipe 3, and at the same time, the cylinder 2 can be started, so that the cylinder 2 drives the piston rod 17 to press the pressing frame 8 and the screen 9 toward the Chinese medicinal material 10 in the cavity, so that the Chinese medicinal material 10 The residual medicinal liquid in the medicinal material 10 is squeezed out and does not pass through the wire mesh 9 and the pressure frame 8, so that the medicinal liquid can smoothly enter the extraction step. After the concentration of the traditional Chinese medicine is completed, the solenoid valve 12 and the rotary motor 14 can be started, so that the rotary motor 14 drives the spiral blade 15 to rotate in the slag discharge pipe 5, so that the top of the vertical pipe 13 is opened, and the concentrated medicinal residue will slide along the inclined plate 11 to the top of the vertical pipe 13, and then slide into the slag discharge pipe 5 along the vertical pipe 13, and then the spiral blade 15 begins to crush the medicinal residue entering the slag discharge pipe 5, and at the same time drives the medicinal residue to the slag discharge port 7 at the end of the slag discharge pipe 5, and finally the medicinal residue is discharged from the slag discharge port 7.
