[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a medicine decocting device, including a pot body 100, a filter plate 200, and a pressure rod 300.

[0041] The kettle body 100 is used to hold herbs and water, and an opening 110 is provided at the upper end of the kettle body 100, and a kettle cover 400 is provided on the opening 110; the filter disc 200 is arranged in the kettle body 100, and the shape of the filter disc 200 matches the horizontal cross-sectional shape in the kettle body 100, so as to ensure the squeezing and filtering effect of the filter disc 200 on herbs and medicinal residues in the kettle body 100; the pressure rod 300 is fixedly connected to the end face of the filter disc 200 close to the opening 110, and a measuring scale 310 is provided on the side wall of the pressure rod 300.

[0042] The decoction device provided in this embodiment, when decocting medicine for patients, the operator first puts the herbs prepared according to the prescription into the kettle body 100, then puts the filter plate 200 into the kettle body 100, and then holds the pressure rod 300 to press the filter plate 200 so that the filter plate 200 compacts the fluffy herbs. After the herbs are completely compacted, water is added into the kettle body 100, and the metering scale 310 on the pressure rod 300 is used to determine the amount of water added. At this time, the amount of water added measured by the metering scale 310 on the pressure rod 300 is the amount of water added after the compacted herbs are removed, so that the operator can more accurately control the amount of water added for decocting the decoction, greatly improve the accuracy of the ratio of herbs to water added, and improve the efficacy of the decocted decoction; after the prepared herbs and water are added into the kettle body 100, the kettle body 100 is decocted and heated.

[0043] When the decoction in the kettle body 100 is completed and needs to be poured into a container, the operator holds the pressure rod 300 again to press the filter plate 200 before pouring the kettle body 100 so that the filter plate 200 squeezes the filter residue. On the one hand, the filter plate 200 can effectively filter the residue when pouring the decoction, thereby reducing the content of the residue in the decoction. On the other hand, the filter plate 200 can squeeze the residue while filtering the decoction, thereby effectively squeezing out the remaining decoction in the residue and reducing waste.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the filter plate 200 includes an annular frame 210 and a filter screen 220. The shape of the annular frame 210 matches the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the kettle body 100. The filter screen 220 is arranged in the middle of the annular frame 210. A plurality of support rods 211 are evenly distributed in the middle of the annular frame 210. The support rods 211 are arranged on one side of the filter screen 220 close to the opening 110 to provide support for the filter screen 220. The pressure rod 300 is fixedly connected to the annular frame 210. By adopting an annular The combination of the frame 210 and the filter screen 220, the filter screen 220 can provide uniform and dense filter holes for filtering medicinal residues, and the annular frame 210 can provide support for the flatness of the filter screen 220, and the setting of multiple support rods 211 can further provide support for the flat position of the filter screen 220, thereby ensuring the filtering performance of the filter screen 220; of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the filter disc 200 can also be set as a complete filter plate, by evenly opening filter holes on the filter plate to ensure its own strength while effectively filtering the medicinal residue when pouring the decoction.

[0045] In some embodiments, the filter screen 220 is flush with the end surface of the annular frame 210 away from the opening 110. On the one hand, when the medicinal herbs or medicinal residues are squeezed through the filter plate 200, that is, the flush surface of the filter screen 220 and the annular frame 210, it can effectively ensure the uniform squeezing of the medicinal herbs or medicinal residues, and avoid incomplete compaction of the medicinal herbs or insufficient squeezing of the medicinal residues. On the other hand, after the filter plate 200 squeezes the medicinal herbs or medicinal residues, some medicinal residues or impurities will adhere to the end surface of the filter screen 220 close to the medicinal residues, and the filter screen 2 20 is flush with the annular frame 210, which can effectively reduce the dead angle between the filter screen 220 and the annular frame 210, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the filter disc 200; of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the end face of the filter disc 200 close to the bottom of the kettle body 100 can also be set as a convex spherical surface, and the bottom shape of the kettle body 100 matches the shape of the filter disc 200, thereby increasing the extrusion area of ​​the filter disc 200 and the kettle body 100 on the herbs or residues, thereby improving the extrusion effect.

[0046] In some embodiments, a reinforcing plate 212 is provided on the end surface of the annular frame 210 close to the pressure rod 300, and the reinforcing plate 212 is fixedly connected to the pressure rod 300, effectively improving the connection strength between the pressure rod 300 and the annular frame 210, thereby effectively avoiding relative deflection or even breakage between the pressure rod 300 and the annular frame 210 when the annular frame 210 is pushed by holding the pressure rod 300, and can also ensure the measuring accuracy of the measuring scale 310 on the pressure rod 300.

[0047] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 212 is arc-shaped, and the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing plate 212 matches the horizontal cross-sectional shape inside the kettle body 100; by setting the reinforcing plate 212 to be arc-shaped and making its horizontal cross-sectional shape match the horizontal cross-sectional shape inside the kettle body 100, it can provide a guiding effect for the movement of the pressure rod 300 and the filter plate 200 in the kettle body 100, effectively avoiding the filter plate 200 from shifting due to the uneven distribution of the medicinal residue when it moves in the kettle body 100 to squeeze the medicinal residue, avoiding the medicinal residue from leaking out of the gap between the filter plate 200 and the kettle body 100, and ensuring the filtering effect of the filter plate 200; of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, a sealing member can also be provided on the side of the filter plate 200 to ensure the sliding sealing effect between the filter plate 200 and the inner wall of the kettle body 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, a gripping portion 320 is provided at the end of the pressing rod 300 away from the filter disc 200 , so that an operator can hold the pressing rod 300 to press the filter disc 200 or take it out of the kettle body 100 .

[0049] In some embodiments, the grip portion 320 is provided with a heat insulating sleeve to avoid burns to the operator's hands, thereby improving the safety of use of this embodiment; of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the grip portion 320 as a whole can also be set to be wood or other materials with good heat insulation properties to avoid burns to the operator's hands.

[0050] In some embodiments, the gripping portion 320 is configured to be in the shape of a hook, which is more convenient for the operator to hold. At the same time, when the filter plate 200 is stored and dried, the gripping portion 320 can be hung at a corresponding position, thereby facilitating the storage and placement of the pressure rod 300 and the filter plate 200.

[0051] In some embodiments, the kettle body 100 is made of a transparent material; on the one hand, when the operator adds water to the kettle body 100, the operator can observe the water level in the kettle body 100 through the side wall, thereby improving the measurement accuracy when adding water to the kettle body 100; on the other hand, when the kettle body 100 is decocting medicine, the operator can clearly observe the decocting situation of the herbs in the kettle body 100 through the side wall of the kettle body 100; of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, a transparent peep window can be partially provided on the side wall of the kettle body 100 to facilitate the operator to observe the situation in the kettle body 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, a first handle 120 is provided on the outer wall of the kettle body 100 to facilitate picking up and moving the kettle body 100 as a whole; a second handle 410 is provided at the end of the kettle lid 400 away from the kettle body 100 to facilitate removing the kettle lid 400 from the opening 110 of the kettle body 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first handle 120 and the second handle 410 are both provided with heat-insulating sleeves to avoid burns to the operator; of course, in other embodiments of the utility model, the first handle 120 and the second handle 410 can also be made of wood or other materials with good heat insulation properties as a whole to avoid burns to the operator's hands.

[0054] In some embodiments, an electric heater 130 is provided at the bottom of the kettle body 100, so that when the kettle body 100 is used to decoct medicine, the kettle body 100 can be heated by connecting the power supply of the electric heater 130, which is easy to operate, and no open flame occurs during the heating process of the kettle body 100, which is highly safe and environmentally friendly.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electric heater 130 and the kettle body 100 are designed to be integrated, which is convenient for the overall storage and transfer of the electric heater 130 and the kettle body 100; of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the electric heater and the kettle body 100 can also be separately arranged.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electric heater 130 is externally connected to a timing module, and the operator can preset the heating time of the electric heater 130 through the timing module, so that when the kettle body 100 is used to decoct medicine, the timing module can control the electric heater 130 to disconnect the power supply and stop heating after the preset heating time is reached, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the decoction time.

[0057] In some embodiments, the timing module is also provided with a warning module, and the warning module can be specifically set to a warning light, a warning horn, etc., so that after the electric heater 130 reaches a preset heating time, the timing module can control the warning module to sound an alarm to remind the operator, so that the operator can process the decocted medicine in time, thereby improving the operator's work efficiency.
