A spiral blade 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4. The motor 5 drives the spiral blade 6 to rotate through the rotating shaft 4, and can stir the medicinal materials. A filter plate 7 with a through hole is arranged above the rotating shaft 4. The filter plate 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the distillation tank 1. The rotating shaft 4 is located at one end of the inner cavity of the distillation tank 1 and is installed on the filter plate 7 through a bearing. A hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly installed at the top position of the inner cavity of the distillation tank 1. An extrusion plate 9 with a through hole is fixedly installed at one end of the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 8. The filter plate 7 cooperates with the extrusion plate 9 to extrude and crush the medicinal materials, and quickly separate the Chinese medicine components inside the medicinal materials. The upper part of the inner cavity of the distillation tank 1 is connected with the condenser 2 and the oil-water separator 3 in sequence through a conduit, and the water outlet of the oil-water separator 3 is connected with the distillation tank 1 through a conduit. The water vapor and volatile oil components generated inside the distillation tank 1 enter the condenser 2 for condensation, and then pass through the oil-water separator 3 to separate the volatile oil, and the remaining water flows back to the distillation tank 1.

[0022] Furthermore, a heating tube 10 is provided on the distillation tank 1. The heating tube 10 is used to heat the inside of the distillation tank 1.
