Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicine decoction equipment, in particular to an automated Chinese medicine decoction equipment. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a medicine collected, processed, and formulated according to traditional Chinese medical theories. Some TCM decoction equipment is used during production and processing. This equipment primarily includes casseroles, earthenware pots, enamel pots, electric decoction kettles, and automatic decoction machines. Automatic decoction machines are automated TCM decoction machines that integrate intelligent decoction functions and automatically set various parameters, aiming to improve decoction efficiency and accuracy.

[0003] During use, the traditional automatic medicine decoction machine needs to tighten multiple handles after putting the barrel cover on the upper part of the medicine barrel, which makes the barrel cover too troublesome to press the barrel cover. Moreover, when removing the barrel cover, it is still necessary to turn multiple handles, which makes the decoction process inefficient. Moreover, the air inlet filter installed on the side of the traditional automatic medicine decoction machine is easily attached to a large amount of debris on the outer side of the air inlet filter after long-term use, thereby affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the automatic medicine decoction machine and causing premature damage to the internal electrical components of the automatic medicine decoction machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The disclosed embodiment relates to an automated Chinese medicine decoction device, which, through the provision of a quick positioning component, can close and tighten the barrel cover by simply closing the rotating plate and placing the rotating plate in a horizontal state. At this time, the two elastic clips are engaged with the strip-shaped clips, so that the rotating plate and the clamping mechanism can obtain an effective limiting effect. Then, the barrel cover can be tightened by rotating the adjusting screw clockwise, without the need for tedious tightening of multiple handles. Moreover, when removing the barrel cover, the two elastic clips can be pinched in opposite directions at the same time, and then the rotating plate can be rotated open to make the barrel cover lose its clamping and limiting effect. Both tightening and opening the barrel cover can be completed quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of decoction.
