Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a high-efficiency and energy-saving Chinese medicine decocting pot. Background Art

[0002] The decoction time for traditional Chinese medicines should be determined based on their properties, generally 30 minutes. Antipyretics, heat-clearing herbs, and aromatics should be decocted for shorter periods of time. Once boiling, decoct for 15-20 minutes. Tonic herbs should be boiled over high heat, then simmered over low heat for 40-60 minutes. Stir the ingredients 2-3 times during decoction. Each dose of Chinese medicine is typically decocted twice, with the second decoction time slightly shorter.

[0003] The heating and decoction process of traditional Chinese medicine directly affects the final medicinal properties of the medicine. Existing conventional heating appliances mainly use electric heating pots to convert electrical energy into thermal energy, which is directly or indirectly transmitted to the pot to heat the liquid medicine in the pot. Industrial decoction machines basically use stainless steel as the pot bottom.

[0004] A common direct heating method involves using a heating tube as a base and placing the pot directly on top for heating. Indirect heating involves placing the heating tube at a distance from the pot, or embedding the heating tube in a cast aluminum block that is then lathe-machined to the same shape as the pot, and then placing the pot on top for heating.

[0005] Defects and shortcomings of existing technology:

[0006] 1. Because the bottom of the pot is made of stainless steel, it will deform when heated. Therefore, if a cast heating tube is used, the stainless steel and the aluminum block will not fit tightly together, and gaps will appear, resulting in excessive heat loss and a lot of power waste.

[0007] 2. Placing the pot bottom directly on the heating tube will result in a concentrated heat source and uneven distribution. The heating tube is a round tube, and when it contacts the pot bottom, it is a linear contact, resulting in a small heat transfer path and wasted power.

[0008] 3. The casting process of the heating tube is more complicated and requires multiple processing steps, which is more expensive. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a high-efficiency and energy-saving Chinese medicine decocting pot body, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a high-efficiency and energy-saving Chinese medicine decoction pot body, including a cylinder body, a pot bottom and multiple annular heating tubes with unequal diameters, the heating tubes having a notch, and wire connectors at both ends of the notch, the pot bottom is fixed to the lower end of the cylinder body, and multiple heating tubes are concentrically fixed to the bottom of the pot bottom, the bottom of the pot bottom has a welding layer, the heating surface of each heating tube is partially or completely welded and buried in the welding layer, and the wire connector extends out of the welding layer.

[0011] Optionally, a temperature sensor is installed on the welding layer.

[0012] Optionally, the pot body is a stainless steel pot body, and the cylinder body is a glass cylinder body.

[0013] Optionally, the welding layer is made of aluminum sheet and / or aluminum welding powder.

[0014] Optionally, the upper end of the cylinder body has a fixing ring, and the pot bottom and the cylinder body are fixedly connected by connecting bolts respectively connected to the fixing ring and the pot bottom.

[0015] Optionally, a circulating water pipe is coiled around the bottom of the pot, and part or all of the surface of the circulating water pipe is welded and buried in the welding layer. Both ends of the circulating water pipe have inlet and outlet water joints, which extend out of the welding layer and can be connected to external circulating water equipment.

[0016] Optionally, the water inlet and outlet joints are connected to a water storage tank through a circulation pipeline.

[0017] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention welds the heating tube to the bottom of the stainless steel pot and forms a welding layer, so that the heating tube and the stainless steel pot bottom become a whole. This structure allows the heat of the heating tube to be evenly transferred to the pot bottom through the welding layer, and the phenomenon of small contact area between the heating tube and the pot bottom will not occur. When the stainless steel pot bottom is heated and deformed, the heating tube will not separate because it is welded, and will not cause heat loss, thereby achieving the goal of not wasting heat energy; (2) The temperature sensor is directly connected to the welding layer and can directly detect the temperature of the pot bottom. When the temperature reaches the required value, the heating tube stops heating, which will not cause transmission delay, and can more accurately control the temperature to avoid heat loss.

A person of ordinary skill in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances. Specific implementation method one:

[0024] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a high-efficiency and energy-saving Chinese medicine decocting pot body, including a glass cylinder body 3, a stainless steel pot bottom 4 and a plurality of annular heating tubes 5 with unequal diameters, the heating tube 5 having a notch, and wire connectors at both ends of the notch, the stainless steel pot bottom 4 being fixed to the lower end of the glass cylinder body 3, and the plurality of heating tubes 5 being concentrically fixed to the bottom of the stainless steel pot bottom 4, the bottom of the stainless steel pot bottom 4 having a welding layer 6 formed of aluminum sheets and aluminum welding powder, the heating surface of each heating tube 5 being partially or completely welded and buried in the welding layer 6, so that the heating tube 5, the welding layer 6 and the stainless steel pot bottom 4 form a whole, and the wire connector of the heating tube 5 extends out of the welding layer 6.

[0025] A temperature sensor 7 for detecting the temperature of the stainless steel pot bottom 4 is installed on the welding layer 6 .

[0026] The upper end of the glass cylinder body 3 is provided with a fixing ring 1, and the stainless steel pot bottom 4 and the glass cylinder body 3 are fixedly connected by connecting bolts 2 respectively connected to the fixing ring 1 and the stainless steel pot bottom 4.

[0027] The bottom structure of the above-mentioned decoction pot is achieved by welding the heating tube 5 to the stainless steel bottom 4 and forming a welding layer 6, so that the heating tube 5 and the stainless steel bottom 4 become a whole. This structure allows the heat of the heating tube 5 to be evenly transferred to the stainless steel bottom 4 through the welding layer 6, and the phenomenon of small contact area between the heating tube 5 and the stainless steel bottom 4 will not occur. When the stainless steel bottom 4 is heated and deformed, because it is welded, the heating tube 5 will not detach and will not cause heat loss, thereby achieving the purpose of not wasting heat energy. The temperature sensor 7 is directly connected to the welding layer 6 and can directly detect the temperature of the stainless steel bottom 4. When the temperature reaches the required value, the heating tube 5 stops heating, which will not cause transmission delay, and can more accurately control the temperature to avoid heat loss. Specific implementation method two:

[0029] On the basis of the specific embodiment 1, a circulating water pipe 8 for cooling is added to the bottom of the stainless steel pot 4, such as Figure 3 As shown, utilizing the notched feature of the annular heating tube 5, a circulating water pipe 8 is coiled around the stainless steel pot bottom 4. Parts or portions of the surface of the circulating water pipe 8 are welded and embedded within the welding layer 6. Both ends of the circulating water pipe 8 have inlet and outlet water connections 8-1, which extend beyond the welding layer 6 and can be connected to external circulating water equipment. After the decoction is completed, this structure allows the stainless steel pot bottom 4 to be cooled by external circulating cooling water, thereby rapidly cooling the medicinal liquid within the glass cylinder body 3 and facilitating the next step of bagging the medicinal liquid. If the inlet and outlet water connections are connected to a drinking water storage tank via a circulation line, the heat energy removed from the welding layer 6 can also be used to heat drinking water, storing heat to a certain extent. When the next pot of Chinese medicine is decocted, the heated drinking water can be injected into the glass cylinder body 3 to decoct the next pot of Chinese medicine, further saving energy.

[0030] The above embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. However, the above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
