For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 7 The utility model is an isolation tube depth adjustment structure applied in a decoction vessel 100 such as a tank body. The function of the isolation tube depth adjustment structure is to artificially form a relatively isolated space inside the Chinese medicinal materials first placed in the decoction vessel 100, and the space is used for placing the medicinal materials later.

[0027] The utility model discloses an isolation cylinder depth adjustment structure, which comprises an outer cylinder 10 and an inner cylinder 20. The outer cylinder 10 is used to be placed at the inner bottom end of a decoction vessel 100. The inner cylinder 20 can be retracted and positioned to be placed inside the outer cylinder 10. Both ends of the inner cylinder 20 are through-set, so that it is convenient for a user to put medicinal materials into the outer cylinder 10 through the upper opening of the inner cylinder 20. A plurality of small holes 11 are arranged at intervals at the bottom end of the outer cylinder 10. The medicinal liquid in the decoction vessel 100 can be freely circulated inside and outside the outer cylinder 10 through the small holes 11. In addition, the Chinese medicinal materials first put into the decoction vessel 100 can be blocked from entering the outer cylinder 10. In this embodiment, a bottom wall is provided at one end of the outer cylinder 10. The small holes 11 are arranged on the bottom wall and the side wall of the outer cylinder 10 close to the bottom wall. In this embodiment, the small holes 11 on the side wall are distributed within a height range of 1 cm from the bottom wall.

[0028] At least one silicone ring 30 is arranged at intervals on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 20. The silicone ring 30 is placed between the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 to provide resistance when the inner cylinder 20 is telescopically moved, so that the inner cylinder 20 can be telescopically positioned in the outer cylinder 10. This structure can keep the relative position of the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 unchanged without external force, and will not easily slip. This retractable structure allows the utility model to adapt to decoction vessels 100 of different depths, and the adaptation height can be adjusted according to the amount of medicinal materials placed. When decocting medicinal materials, the effective components of the medicinal materials in the isolation cylinder depth adjustment structure of the utility model can be released.

[0029] In one embodiment, at least one annular groove 21 is provided on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 20, and the silicone ring 30 is matched and placed in the corresponding annular groove 21, so that the silicone ring 30 can be better limited on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 20. When the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 have relative slippage, the silicone ring 30 will not separate from the annular groove 21 and affect the fixing effect between the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10, thereby ensuring that the inner cylinder 20 is stably fixed in the outer cylinder 10; of course, in some other implementations, the number of annular grooves 21 can also be set to 2, 3 or more as needed. Generally, at least two silicone rings 30 are required to ensure that the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 can achieve stable telescopic positioning.

[0030] In one embodiment, a tube cap 22 is protruding outwardly from the opening circumference of the upper end of the inner tube 20. The inner tube 20 limits the relative displacement between the inner tube 20 and the outer tube 10 through the tube cap 22 structure, thereby preventing the inner tube 20 from being excessively placed in the outer tube 10 and affecting the telescopic positioning effect of the inner tube 20 in the outer tube 10; in addition, the displacement of the inner tube 20 in the outer tube 10 is limited by the tube cap 22, thereby preventing the inner tube 20 from excessively entering the interior of the outer tube 10 and blocking the small hole 11 structure opened at the bottom end of the outer tube 10, thereby affecting the flow of liquid medicine between the inside and outside of the outer tube 10.

[0031] In the prior art, the medicinal materials added later are directly added to the decoction vessel 100, and the medicinal materials added later can only be placed on the uppermost surface of the medicinal materials placed first in the decoction vessel 100. The heated steam rises, and the medicinal materials placed later are first moistened by the steam because they have not been soaked. The aromatic components evaporate with the steam and then condense. The medicinal materials placed first slowly expand and penetrate into the soup at the bottom of the decoction vessel 100, and then the expected chemical reaction occurs. The time is long and the efficiency is low. The isolation cylinder depth adjustment structure of this embodiment allows the medicinal materials placed later to directly contact and soak in the soup formed by the decoction of the medicinal materials placed first, and then a chemical reaction occurs, which accelerates the speed of the chemical reaction between the two medicinal materials, and the fusion is more complete after heating.

[0032] In one embodiment, the utility model further comprises a cylinder cover 40, which is used to cover the upper end opening of the inner cylinder 20, so as to prevent the medicinal materials placed in the outer cylinder 10 from overflowing through the upper end opening of the inner cylinder 20 after the soup in the decoction vessel 100 exceeds the height of the upper end of the inner cylinder 20, thereby affecting the release of effective ingredients of the medicinal materials.

[0033] In one embodiment, an isolation cylinder depth adjustment structure of the utility model further includes a frying cover 50, the frying cover 50 is arranged close to the inner side of the frying vessel 100, a through hole 501 is opened in the middle of the frying cover 50, and the inner cylinder 20 is placed in the outer cylinder 10 after passing through the through hole 501. The frying cover 50 is surrounded by the outer side of the inner cylinder 20 and is placed under the cylinder cap 22. When in use, the cylinder cap 22 is placed above the through hole 501 of the frying cover 50, so that the combined structure of the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 applies force to the frying cover 50 and limits the displacement of the frying cover 50.

[0034] Furthermore, the decoction cover 50 includes an inner ring 51, an outer ring 52 and a gauze 53, the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52 are fixed together by a connector 54, the connectors 54 are radially arranged in the annular space between the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52, the opening 501 is placed on the inner ring 51, the gauze 53 is wrapped around the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52, the inner ring 51, the outer ring 52 and the connector 54 together complete the support effect of the gauze 53, the setting of the gauze 53 can further prevent the Chinese medicinal materials from escaping from the decoction cover 50, and ensure that no Chinese medicinal materials will pass through the decoction cover 50 and run to the top. Specifically, during production, the gauze 53 can be made of a soft net made of food-grade materials such as stainless steel wire, gauze or silicone.

[0035] In this embodiment, the connecting member 54 is an elastic support structure, and the outer ring 52 includes a silicone ring tube 521 and a plurality of arc segments 522 wrapped therein, and the plurality of arc segments 522 are arranged at intervals in the tube. When making, take a complete silicone ring tube 521, the diameter of which is larger than the maximum diameter of the inner ring 51, and use a cutter to cut the inner side of the silicone ring tube 521 for standby use. The arc segment 522 is actually an arc-shaped thick stainless steel wire, and its number is determined according to actual conditions. For example, in this embodiment, the arc segment 522 is provided with 24 segments, and each arc segment 522 is squeezed into the tube from the inner side of the silicone ring tube 521, and finally the distance between the segments is adjusted so that it is evenly arranged in the silicone ring tube 521. After the outer ring 52 is made, it is concentrically arranged outside the inner ring 51, and then the inner ring 51 is connected to the outer ring 52 by the connecting member 54.

[0036] Specifically, the connector 54 is matched with the arc segment 522, and the number of the connectors 54 is also set to 24. In this embodiment, the connector 54 adopts a compression spring structure. During production, one end of the compression spring is fixedly welded to the inner ring 51, and the other end of the compression spring is welded to the middle of an arc segment 522; repeat this step, and then connect the 24 arc segments 522 to the inner ring 51 one by one, and the 24 compression springs are arranged radially as a whole. After production, the inner ring 51, the outer ring 52 and the connector 54 are located in a plane.

[0037] In this way, a simple outer ring 52 is manufactured. The arc segments 522 are arranged at intervals in the silicone ring tube 521, so that the outer ring 52 has a soft and hard main structure, so that the outer ring 52 can be deformed under the action of external force. With the compression spring connected between the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52, the outer diameter of the entire frying cover 50 can be elastically changed within a certain range, that is, the outer ring 52 is switched between a contracted state and an expanded state by means of the connecting piece 54. This structural setting, on the one hand, facilitates the smooth placement of the entire frying cover 50 into the frying vessel, especially the tank structure with a tapered mouth structure; on the other hand, after the frying cover 50 is placed in place, the outer ring 52 is stretched open under the elastic force of the compression spring, so that the outer ring 52 maintains elastic contact with the inner wall of the frying vessel, thereby preventing the frying cover 50 from easily moving; in this embodiment, the tank structure with a tapered mouth structure has a tank mouth, an inner belly and a flat bottom, the tank mouth is funnel-shaped from top to bottom, the tank mouth is connected to the inner belly, and the inner belly is approximately ellipsoidal, wherein the minimum horizontal cross-section of the tank mouth is smaller than the maximum horizontal cross-section of the inner belly. This tank structure with a tapered mouth structure is a more common frying device, but the utility model is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, a straight cylindrical tank body with equal upper and lower sizes can also be used.

[0038] Specifically, when in use, the decoction cover 50 is placed in the decoction vessel 100 after the medicinal materials and water. Generally, the water level exceeds the highest point where the Chinese medicinal materials are piled and spread, for example, by 1-2 cm. The specific value can be flexibly set according to the expansion characteristics of the Chinese medicinal materials and the decoction time. The position of the decoction cover 50 is below the liquid level and above the Chinese medicinal materials. For example, the decoction cover 50 is positioned at a height of 1 cm from the highest point of the Chinese medicinal materials and immersed in water. During the heating process, the Chinese medicinal materials expand as a whole. When they contact the decoction cover 50, they will push the decoction cover 50, making it have a tendency to move upward. Since the periphery of the decoction cover 50 contacts the inner wall of the decoction vessel 100, friction can be generated, and the weight of the combined structure of the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 exerts force on the decoction cover 50, thereby preventing the decoction cover 50 from large displacement, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the expansion of the Chinese medicinal materials. By designing the initial water addition amount and the position of the decoction cover 50, it can be ensured that the Chinese medicinal materials will not exceed the liquid level during the entire decoction process, thereby ensuring the extraction and reaction of the effective ingredients in the medicinal materials and ensuring the efficacy of the medicine.

[0039] In summary, the utility model has an isolation cylinder depth adjustment structure, by placing a silicone ring 30 between the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 so that the inner cylinder 20 can be telescopically positioned in the outer cylinder 10. This structure can keep the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 in a constant relative position in the absence of external force, and will not easily slip, so that the utility model can adapt to decoction vessels 100 of different depths, and adjust the adaptation height according to the amount of medicinal materials placed. When decocting medicinal materials, it can avoid that the material in the isolation cylinder is higher than the liquid surface of the medicinal soup, thereby enhancing the release of the effective ingredients of the medicinal materials in the isolation cylinder depth adjustment structure of the utility model.

[0040] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be subject to the attached claims.
