A four-column support is fixedly installed on the conical steam chamber 52, and the top of the four-column support is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the concentrator 1, facilitating the stable installation of the conical steam chamber 52. A shielding cylinder 53 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the conical steam chamber 52. A ring-shaped limiting platform 54 is fixedly installed on the heating table 2. An evaporation tank 55 is placed on the heating table 2 and the evaporation tank 55 is located inside the ring-shaped limiting platform 54. A lifting component 56 for controlling the up and down movement of the shielding cylinder 53 is arranged on the concentrator 1. Connecting plates 57 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the shielding cylinder 53. The lifting component 56 includes two electric push rods, both of which are fixedly installed on the concentrator 1, and the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods are respectively fixedly connected to the tops of the two connecting plates 57, facilitating the control of the up and down movement of the connecting plate 57 by the telescopic movement of the electric push rods.
[0024] Among them, the shielding cylinder 53 includes a cylinder cover and two pressure sensors. The two pressure sensors are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the cylinder cover. The cylinder cover is slidably connected to the outer surface of the conical steam chamber 52. The pressure sensors are electrically connected to the electric push rods, facilitating the control of the lifting component 56 to stop operating.
[0025] In addition, two connecting pipes are fixedly installed on the fan 51. The two connecting pipes respectively penetrate into the inside of the concentrator 1 and the condensation tank 3. The connecting pipe inside the concentrator 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the conical steam chamber 52, facilitating the steam to be directly pumped into the condensation tank 3 by the fan 51 after entering the conical steam chamber 52 through the shielding cylinder 53.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the evaporation tank 55 is placed on the top of the heating table 2, and the position of the evaporation tank 55 is restricted by the ring-shaped limiting platform 54. Then, the two electric push rods in the lifting component 56 are started.

Then, the condensation tank 3 is continuously heated until the liquid medicine inside the condensation tank 3 boils and generates steam. Then, the generated steam is directly pumped into the condensation tank 3 by the fan 51 to be condensed into concentrated liquid medicine.
[0027] Embodiment Two: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, in the implementation of this example, a butt joint ring 58 for sealing the gap between the conical steam chamber 52 and the isolation cover cylinder 53 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conical steam chamber 52.

[0030] When the concentrator for producing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces is in use, the evaporation tank 55 is placed on the top of the heating table 2, and the position of the evaporation tank 55 is restricted by the annular limiting platform 54. Then, two electric push rods in the lifting component 56 are started, and the electric push rods are extended to drive the connecting plate 57 to move, so as to control the isolation cover cylinder 53 on the outer surface of the conical steam chamber 52 to move downward and cover the evaporation tank 55 until the pressure sensor in the isolation cover cylinder 53 presses the annular limiting platform 54, thereby controlling the lifting component 56 to stop operating. Thus, the butt joint ring 58 is used to seal the conical steam chamber 52 and the isolation cover cylinder 53, and the sealing rubber ring in the sealing component 59 is used to seal the isolation cover cylinder 53 and the annular limiting platform 54. Then, the condensing tank 3 is continuously heated until the liquid medicine in the condensing tank 3 boils and generates steam, and then the generated steam is directly drawn into the condensing tank 3 by the blower 51 to be condensed into concentrated liquid medicine.
