[0034] Embodiment 1:
[0035] The embodiment of the present utility model provides a decocting bucket with an extrusion function, as Figures 1 to 5 shown. The decocting bucket with an extrusion function includes:
[0036] A mesh bucket 1, the upper and lower ends of the mesh bucket 1 are open, and a plurality of small holes 2 are provided on the mesh bucket 1;
[0037] A lower extrusion disc 3, the lower extrusion disc 3 is arranged at the bottom of the mesh bucket 1, and a first hollow protrusion 4 is provided on the lower extrusion disc 3. The first hollow protrusion 4 includes a first hollow part 41 and a first protrusion part 42. The first hollow part 41 is used to connect a lifting shaft, so as to drive the lower extrusion disc to move back and forth in the mesh bucket 1 through the lifting shaft;
[0038] An upper extrusion disc 5, the upper extrusion disc 5 is arranged in the mesh bucket 1, and a second hollow protrusion 6 is provided on the upper extrusion disc 5. The second hollow protrusion 6 includes a second hollow part 61 and a second protrusion part 62. The second hollow part 61 is adapted to the first protrusion part 41, so that the lower extrusion disc 3 can be in close contact with the upper extrusion disc 5 under the action of the lifting shaft.
[0039] The decocting bucket with an extrusion function is applicable to a decocting machine with an extrusion shaft and is used for decocting traditional Chinese medicine pieces.
[0040] As Figure 1 shown, the barrel body of the mesh barrel 1 has dense small holes, and the aperture is preferably 1 mm, which is convenient for the liquid medicine to flow out and prevent the residue from leaking out. As Figure 2 shown, the first hollow protrusion 4 provided on the lower extrusion disc 3 at the bottom of the mesh barrel 1 includes a first hollow part 41, which is for cooperating with a decocting machine with a lifting shaft. Specifically, one end of the lifting shaft is fitted with the first hollow part 41.
[0041] As Figure 3 shown, the upper extrusion disc limiting block 7 provided above the mesh barrel 1 is to prevent the upper extrusion disc 5 from disengaging from the mesh barrel 1. It should be noted that the upper extrusion disc 5 is movably arranged in the mesh barrel 1, that is, the fitting mode of the upper extrusion disc 5 and the mesh barrel 1 is clearance fit.
[0042] The lower extrusion disc 4 is located at the bottom of the mesh barrel 1. A first hollow protrusion 4 is arranged in the middle of the lower extrusion disc 4. The first hollow protrusion 4 is a cylindrical protrusion. The reason for setting the first hollow protrusion 4 is to consider the strength and cost issues. Without the protrusion, the lower extrusion disc needs to be made very thick, which will increase the cost; if the extrusion disc is made thin, the strength cannot support the upward force during the extrusion process; making it a protrusion with the same diameter as the extrusion lifting shaft in the middle can take both into account.
[0043] The upper extrusion disc 5 is located at the upper extrusion disc limiting block 7 provided on the mesh barrel 1. When this loose decocting barrel is applied to an existing decocting machine, such as a decocting pot with a lifting shaft, the lid of the pot that is covered above the upper extrusion disc 5 can be used as a bearing point. The second hollow protrusion 6 arranged in the middle of the upper extrusion disc 5 is for cooperating with the first hollow protrusion 4 of the lower extrusion disc 3. If the first hollow protrusion 4 and the second hollow protrusion 6 are not provided, there will be a gap between the upper extrusion disc 5 and the lower extrusion disc 3, and the residue cannot be squeezed dry. The ingenious design of the two hollow protrusions can not only make the loose decocting barrel better assembled with the corresponding decocting machine, but also ensure the extrusion effect of traditional Chinese medicine pieces, killing two birds with one stone.
[0044] The specific working process of this loose decocting barrel with an extrusion function is as follows:
[0045] First, the lower extrusion disc 3 is placed in the mesh barrel, then traditional Chinese medicine pieces are added, then the upper extrusion disc 5 is added, and finally the whole loose decocting barrel is placed in the decocting machine. The holes in the mesh barrel 1 will not affect the processes of soaking, decocting, and squeezing out the medicine. The extrusion principle is that the extrusion lifting shaft rises to push the lower extrusion disc 3 upward until it reaches the position of the upper extrusion disc 5, so as to squeeze the residue dry.
[0046] Of course, the upper extrusion disc 5 can also be directly fixed to the upper end inside the mesh barrel 1. At this time, only the lower extrusion disc 3 needs to be removed. Then traditional Chinese medicine pieces are added, and then the lower extrusion disc 3 is assembled inside the mesh barrel 1. By pushing the lower extrusion disc 3 with the lifting shaft and cooperating with the upper extrusion disc 5, the extrusion of traditional Chinese medicine pieces can also be achieved.
[0047] Embodiment 2:
[0048] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a decocting machine, as Figures 6 to 8 shown. This decocting machine includes a scattered decocting barrel with an extrusion function as described in Embodiment 1 and a box body 8. A groove body 9 is provided on the box body 8, and the groove body 9 is used to place the scattered decocting barrel. A movable groove cover 10 is provided on the box body 8 corresponding to the groove body 9. A lifting shaft 11 is movably arranged below the groove body 9. One end of the lifting shaft 11 is connected to a telescopic power source 12, and the telescopic power source 12 is arranged inside the box body 8. An electric heating component 13 is arranged outside the groove body 9.
[0049] The telescopic power source 12 is a telescopic cylinder.
[0050] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, this decocting machine further includes a temperature controller 14. A temperature sensor 15 is arranged inside the groove body 9. The signal output end of the temperature sensor 15 is connected to the signal input end of the temperature controller 14, and the signal output end of the temperature controller 14 is connected to the signal input end of the electric heating component 13.
[0051] When this decocting machine works specifically, first place the mesh barrel 1 with materials in the groove body 9 and cover the groove cover 10. At this time, the lifting shaft 11 should cooperate with the first hollow protrusion 4. Through the action of the telescopic cylinder, the lower extrusion disc 3 moves upward and presses against the upper extrusion disc 5, so as to realize the extrusion of the materials inside the mesh barrel 1. During the extrusion process, according to the process requirements, the electric heating component 13 can be turned on to raise the temperature inside the groove body 9. At the same time, the temperature sensor 15 can collect the temperature signal inside the groove body 9 at any time. The temperature controller 14 controls the electric heating component 13 to stop working when the temperature signal reaches the set temperature threshold according to the set temperature threshold. If it does not reach the set temperature threshold, it controls the electric heating component 13 to continue working until it reaches the set temperature threshold, so as to ensure that the materials are extruded at the set temperature.
[0052] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit it; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims and the description of the present utility model.
