[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine is a drug that is collected, processed, and prepared based on the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, explains its mechanism of action, and guides its clinical application. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly comes from natural medicines and their processed products, including herbal medicines, animal medicines, mineral medicines, and some chemical and biological medicines. When boiling traditional Chinese medicine, a water adding device is required to add a certain amount of water to the medicine pot. Adding water in a certain amount can ensure the ratio of water to traditional Chinese medicine and improve its efficacy.
[0003] The comparative document CN206177425U proposes "a sponge quantitative water adding device", which uses a series of sensors including an MCU controller, a weighing sensor, a float sensor, and a pipeline pressure sensor.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. The following is an explanation of its embodiments based on the overall structure of the present utility model.
[0021] A quantitative water adding device for traditional Chinese medicine comprises: a support seat 1, a water adding unit is arranged on the top of the support seat 1, the water adding unit comprises a support plate 2 fixedly arranged on the top of the support seat 1, a first vertical groove 3, a horizontal groove 4 and a second vertical groove 5 are arranged on the front of the support plate 2, the first vertical groove 3, the horizontal groove 4 and the second vertical groove 5 are connected to each other, the length of the second vertical groove 5 is greater than the length of the first vertical groove 3,
[0022] Next, the outer side of the support plate 2 is vertically slidably connected to a support block 6, the front surface of the support block 6 is horizontally slidably connected to a cross bar 7, a reciprocating motor 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the support seat 1, the front side of the support plate 2 is rotatably connected to a worm gear 21 and the outside of the worm gear 21 is fixedly connected to a hollow rod 9, the output end of the reciprocating motor 8 is fixedly connected to a worm 22 meshing with the worm gear 21, one end of the cross bar 7 is fixedly provided with an insertion rod 10, and the rear end of the insertion rod 10 passes through the empty slot of the hollow rod 9 and extends to the inside of the first vertical slot 3.
[0023] Furthermore, the cross bar 7 is penetrated by a horizontal groove 11, and the interior of the horizontal groove 11 is horizontally slidably connected to a water baffle 12, a cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the cross bar 7, and the output end of the cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the water baffle 12, and a water box 14 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the other end of the cross bar 7, and an electrically controlled valve 15 is provided at the bottom of the water box 14.
[0024] In addition, a water tank 16 and a medicine boiling pot 17 are provided on the top of the support seat 1. A water pipe 18 is connected to one side of the water tank 16. One end of the water pipe 18 is connected to a tap, and the tap is in an open state. A floating plate 19 and a sealing plate 20 are vertically slidably connected inside the two sides of the water tank 16. The floating plate 19 rises itself as the water level rises. The width of the floating plate 19 is one third of the water tank 16. The sealing plate 20 in the initial state blocks the water pipe 18 to prevent water from entering the water tank 16 from the water pipe 18.
[0025] Working principle: when it is necessary to add a certain amount of water to the Chinese medicine in the medicine boiling pot 17, the reciprocating motor 8 can be started to drive the worm 22 to rotate. When the worm 22 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 21 to rotate. When the worm wheel 21 rotates, it drives the hollow rod 9 to rotate. When the hollow rod 9 rotates, the rear end of the plug rod 10 will move in the groove of the hollow rod 9, and at the same time, it will move from the bottom of the first vertical groove 3 to the top thereof. In the process, the support block 6 slides and rises on the outside of the support plate 2 and drives the cross bar 7 to rise. This is conducive to making the water box 14 higher than the height of the water storage tank 16, which is convenient for the subsequent horizontal movement of the cross bar 7.
[0026] As the hollow rod 9 continues to rotate, the rear end of the plug rod 10 moves from the first vertical groove 3 to the inside of the horizontal groove 4, and then moves from one end of the horizontal groove 4 to the other end thereof. During this process, the cross bar 7 slides horizontally outside the support block 6, and one end of the cross bar 7 moves to the top of the water tank 16.
[0027] As the hollow rod 9 continues to rotate, the plug rod 10 moves from the horizontal groove 4 to the second vertical groove 5, and then moves from the top of the second vertical groove 5 to the bottom of the second vertical groove 5. During this process, the support block 6 will slide down on the outside of the support plate 2, and then drive the cross bar 7, the water box 14 and the water baffle 12 to descend. However, the top of the cross bar 7 refers to the highest water level of the water tank 16. At this time, the water box 14 and the water baffle 12 descend to the inside of the water tank 16, and then the output end of the cylinder 13 extends to drive the water baffle 12 to The water box 14 is blocked to prevent the water in the water box 14 from leaking out. Then the reciprocating motor 8 rotates in the opposite direction with the hollow rod 9, and then the water box 14 is reset to the top of the medicine boiling pot 17. At this time, the valve 15 is opened to allow the water in the water box 14 to fall into the inside of the medicine boiling pot 17 to complete the water addition. Moreover, since the size of the water box 14 is certain and the water box 14 is completely located in the water when it is filled with water, the amount of water filled by the water box 14 each time is certain, which is conducive to the quantitative addition of water to the traditional Chinese medicine in the medicine boiling pot 17.
[0028] The utility model reduces the cost of the device by eliminating the use of sensors and can prevent the device from malfunctioning.
[0029] When the water box 14 descends to take water, it will press the floating plate 19. The width of the floating plate 19 is one-third of the internal width of the water tank 16, so it will not affect water intake. After pressing, the floating plate 19 descends and drives the sealing plate 20 to descend to open the water pipe 18, and then the water released from the faucet will enter the interior of the water tank 16 from the water pipe 18. When the water box 14 rises, the pressure on the floating plate 19 disappears, and then the floating plate 19 at this time will bring the sealing plate 20 up to re-block the water pipe 18 to prevent water from entering. After a part of the water box 14 is taken out, another part of the water will enter from the water pipe 18, so that the water in the water tank 16 is always at a suitable water level for the next quantitative removal.
[0030] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical scheme and utility model concept of the utility model, should be covered by the protection scope of the utility model.
