[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a limiting ring 502 matching the housing 2 is fixedly connected to the edge of the bottom of the outer cover 5;

[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting ring 502 is provided to limit the outer cover 5 , thereby increasing the stability of the outer cover 5 placed on the housing 2 .

[0047] Among them, in this embodiment, the heating base 1 has a built-in electric heating tube, the electric control end of the electric heating tube is electrically connected to the control output end of the DSP controller, and the DSP controller can be a DSP controller with the model TMS320F2812, and the temperature sensor 101 can be a pt100 temperature sensor.

[0048] The working principle of the present invention is: by setting an anti-overflow plate 401, the boiling medicinal liquid can be shielded, thereby preventing the boiling medicinal liquid from splashing. At the same time, when the pressure inside the inner liner 3 is relatively high, the air pressure in the inner liner 3 will be introduced through the pressure relief pipe 402 and squeeze the sealing slide plate 4022. When the pressure inside the inner liner 3 is relatively high, the sealing slide plate 4022 will be squeezed through the pressure relief hole 4021, thereby realizing the pressure discharge inside the inner liner 3. Therefore, overflow generated during the decoction process can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the practicality of the Chinese medicine decoction machine of the present invention.

[0049] The working process of the intelligent temperature-controlled Chinese medicine decoction machine is summarized as follows:

[0050] 1. Preparation stage:

[0051] 1.1. Place the Chinese medicinal materials to be decocted into the inner pot 3 and ensure that the inner pot 3 is correctly installed inside the outer shell 2 on the heating base 1.

[0052] 1.2. Place the inner cover 4 on the inner pot 3, ensuring that the anti-overflow plate 401 is aligned with the opening of the inner pot 3 to prevent the medicinal liquid from overflowing during the decoction process.

[0053] 1.3 Place the outer cover 5 on the outer shell 2 and ensure that the outer cover 5 is stably fixed on the outer shell 2 through the limiting ring 502.

[0054] 2. Heating and temperature control:

[0055] 2.1. The temperature sensor 101 starts to monitor the temperature inside the housing 2 (and indirectly the inner container 3) in real time.

[0056] 2.2. The DSP controller receives the temperature data from the temperature sensor 101 and controls the heating base 1 to heat according to the preset decoction program or the temperature parameters set by the user.

[0057] 2.3 The heating base 1 gradually heats the Chinese medicinal materials in the inner pot 3 to start the decoction process.

[0058] 3. Overflow prevention and pressure control:

[0059] 3.1. As the decoction process progresses, the medicinal liquid begins to boil. The anti-overflow plate 401 at the bottom of the inner cover 4 effectively shields the boiling medicinal liquid from splashing out.

[0060] 3.2. If excessive pressure is generated inside the inner container 3 due to boiling of the liquid medicine or other reasons, this pressure will be transmitted to the sealing slide 4022 through the pressure relief pipe 402.

[0061] 3.3. When the pressure is high enough, the sealing slide 4022 will be pushed upward, compressing the connecting spring 4023 and eventually passing through the pressure relief hole 4021, allowing some steam or gas to be discharged from the pressure relief pipe 402, thereby releasing the pressure inside the inner tank 3.

[0062] 3.4. When the pressure drops to a safe level, the connecting spring 4023 pushes the sealing slide 4022 back to its original position, re-closing the pressure relief hole 4021.

[0063] 4. Complete the decoction:

[0064] 4.1. According to the preset boiling time or the conditions set by the user, when the boiling process is completed, the DSP controller will stop heating the heating base 1.

[0065] 4.2. The user can safely open the outer cover 5 and the inner cover 4, take out the decocted Chinese medicine, and close the entire decoction machine.

[0066] In summary: through this work process, the intelligent temperature-controlled Chinese medicine decoction machine of the utility model can effectively control the temperature during the decoction process, prevent the medicine liquid from overflowing, and ensure the safety of use through the automatic pressure relief mechanism, thereby improving the efficiency and practicality of decoction.
