Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicine processing, in particular to a medicine moistening device for preparing Chinese medicine slices. Background Art

[0002] Medicine moistening refers to the process of washing, soaking, moistening and other appropriate treatments on the medicine with water or other liquid auxiliary materials to make it clean and softened to facilitate cutting. It is one of the traditional techniques in the preparation of Chinese medicine. The main purpose of medicine moistening is to allow the medicinal materials to absorb a considerable amount of water without losing or minimizing the loss of the effective ingredients of the medicine, so that the texture will change from hard to soft, so as to facilitate cutting into medicinal slices.

[0003] Commonly used methods for moistening medicine include sprinkling, washing, soaking, bleaching, and infiltration. Among them, the soaking method is to soak the medicinal materials in clean water for a certain period of time to allow them to absorb an appropriate amount of water. First wash the medicinal materials, then inject clean water to submerge the medicine, and leave it for a certain period of time (depending on the texture, size and season of the medicinal materials). The water is not changed in the middle. Generally, when it is soaked to 60%-70% thoroughly, it is taken out, softened and then peeled. It is suitable for medicinal materials with hard texture, large volume, and difficult for water to penetrate, such as yam, costus root, lindera strychnos atractylodes, oriental water plantain, and wild smilax glabra.

[0004] However, the traditional soaking method of medicine is mostly to soak the medicine naturally in clean water. The water penetration rate is slow, resulting in a long time for soaking the medicine. In addition, over-dry Chinese medicine will float on the water surface, resulting in poor soaking effect. For this reason, we propose a medicine soaking device for preparing Chinese herbal medicine slices. Utility Model Content
