The inner top wall of the fumigator 6 near the right side is fixedly installed with a first limit switch 12, and the air outlet end of the fumigator 6 is fixedly connected to the insulation pipe 10.

[0026] When in use, open the Chinese medicine fumigation cabin body 3, preheat the interior of the Chinese medicine fumigation cabin body 3 first, then put the adapted Chinese medicine cooking bag into the medicine bag bucket 14 through the feeding end, add the water into the water adding end, start the temperature sensor, water heating device, anti-dry burning device and driving device 9, the water heating device heats up, and the driving device 9 drives the screw rod 13 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the slide 15 to move up along the slide rod 11 until the medicine bag bucket 14 contacts the first limit switch 12. After the medicine bag bucket 14 contacts the first limit switch 12, the driving device 9 is electrically started to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the slide 15 and the medicine bag bucket 14 to move down along the slide rod 11 again. While the screw rod 13 is driven to rotate, the installation block 18 and the stirring device 9 are installed. The blades 16 also rotate accordingly, thereby stirring the water clockwise. When the driving device 9 rotates counterclockwise, the stirring blades 16 also stir the water counterclockwise until the slide 15 contacts the second limit switch when moving downward. This cycle is repeated, which can not only effectively heat and stir the water, but also ensure that the effective ingredients of the traditional Chinese medicine can be fully released, thereby improving the fumigation effect. After the liquid medicine processing is completed, the traditional Chinese medicine fumigation cabin cover 1 is opened, so that the user lies on the lying board 19 and the fumigation cabin cover is covered. Subsequently, the patient is fumigated with traditional Chinese medicine through the traditional Chinese medicine fumigation cabin body 3. While the patient is being fumigated with traditional Chinese medicine, the protective curtain 2 can prevent the user from being directly irradiated by the far-infrared emitting end 20, thereby protecting the user's skin or eyes from excessive irritation.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 3As shown, the top of the slide 15 is provided with a chute near the left and right sides, and the outer surfaces of the two slide rods 11 are respectively movably connected to the inner parts of the two chute. The top of the slide 15 is evenly provided with a plurality of filter holes away from the center and the position of the chute. The filter holes allow the Chinese medicine steam to be evenly distributed from the slide 15 and around the chute, avoiding the local accumulation of steam or the formation of dead corners in the fumigator 6. This ensures that the Chinese medicine steam can fully cover every corner of the fumigation chamber, improving the uniformity and effect of fumigation. During the Chinese medicine fumigation process, the Chinese medicine bag may release some tiny residues or particulate matter. The setting of the filter holes can prevent these residues from entering the fumigation chamber to a certain extent, keeping the cabin environment clean and hygienic. Although the main steam generation comes from the heating of the Chinese medicine at the bottom of the fumigator 6, the filter holes can also serve as a channel for the steam to rise, further promoting the release of the internal components of the Chinese medicine bag. When the steam passes through the filter holes, it will contact the surface of the Chinese medicine bag, thereby accelerating the dissolution and volatilization of the Chinese medicine ingredients.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mounting block 18 and the stirring blade 16 are both located under the slide 15, and a second limit switch is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting block 18. Ensure that the driving device 9 can reversely rotate in time and avoid collision between the slide 15 and the stirring blade 16. The end of the bearing seat 17 away from the screw rod 13 is fixedly connected to the center of the inner bottom wall of the fumigator 6. Strengthen the stability of the screw rod 13 during rotation. The top of the screw rod 13 passes through the inner top wall of the fumigator 6 and is connected to the driving device 9. The connection between the screw rod 13 and the fumigator 6 is connected by a ball bearing. The connection between the screw rod 13 and the fumigator 6 is provided with a sealing ring. The fumigator 6 is provided with a water adding end, a temperature sensor, a water heating device and an anti-dry burning device. Ball bearings reduce resistance during rotation through rolling friction, thereby reducing energy loss and equipment wear; Improved precision: The rolling elements of ball bearings, i.e., the balls, roll between the inner and outer rings, which can maintain high rotational accuracy and stability, helping to ensure the precise position and rotation speed of the stirring blade 16; Extended life: Since ball bearings have low friction and less wear, they can extend the service life of the equipment.

[0029] In this embodiment, the protective curtain 2 is a heat-insulating, dust-proof, and infrared-proof protective curtain 2. The protective curtain 2 is a pair of curtains connected by a zipper. It can block or reduce the direct exposure of far-infrared rays to the user's skin and eyes, preventing the skin and eyes from being damaged by excessive exposure to infrared rays, ensuring the safety of the user and improving the comfort of treatment. The end of the insulation tube 10 away from the fumigator 6 is fixedly connected to the air inlet end 4 of the Chinese medicine fumigation chamber body 3. The main function of the insulation tube 10 is to minimize heat loss and maintain the temperature of the steam during the process of steam being transported from the fumigator 6 to the fumigation chamber. This is crucial to ensure the efficacy of Chinese medicine fumigation, because the temperature of the steam directly affects the volatilization of Chinese medicine components and the patient's experience; improve the fumigation effect: by maintaining the temperature of the steam, the insulation tube 10 helps the Chinese medicine components to volatilize more effectively and be absorbed by the patient, thereby improving the therapeutic effect of fumigation; save energy and reduce consumption: reducing heat loss also means reducing energy consumption, which is in line with the environmental protection concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the main controller is installed on the main body 3 of the Chinese medicine fumigation chamber. The first limit switch 12 is located directly above the medicine bag hopper 14. The main body 3 of the Chinese medicine fumigation chamber is also equipped with a far-infrared emitting terminal 20, a water outlet 21, and an atomizing nozzle 22. This ensures that the medicine bag hopper 14 contacts the first limit switch 12 after rising to a certain level, ensuring that the medicine bag hopper 14 can be driven downward. The far-infrared emitting terminal 20, the water outlet 21, and the atomizing nozzle 22 together constitute an efficient and safe system for Chinese medicine fumigation treatment. These designs not only improve the treatment effect and patient comfort, but also ensure the cleanliness and dryness of the fumigation chamber, providing strong support for Chinese medicine fumigation treatment.

[0031] To sum up, the utility model can block or reduce the far infrared rays from directly irradiating the user's skin and eyes by setting a protective curtain 2, prevent the skin and eyes from being damaged due to excessive exposure to infrared rays, ensure the safety of the user, and improve the comfort of treatment; by setting a driving device 9, a screw 13, a medicine bag bucket 14, a slide 15, a first limit switch 12 and a stirring blade 16, it can ensure that the effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine can be evenly released into the water, improve the fumigation effect, ensure that the effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine are fully extracted, and evenly distributed in the fumigation chamber, thereby improving the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation.
