Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine steaming and boiling device. Background Technology

[0002] In processing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), existing technologies generally use steaming or boiling methods. Steaming is further divided into clear steaming and mixed steaming. Clear steaming involves placing a partition on a steaming vessel, placing the TCM on the partition, and placing water under the partition. By heating the water, the steam evaporates and passes through the TCM on the partition, achieving the purpose of steaming. Mixed steaming replaces the water with other solvents to evaporate the TCM on the partition. The main purpose of steaming TCM is to change its medicinal properties and expand its application range, such as steaming Rehmannia glutinosa and Polygonum multiflorum, or to enhance its efficacy, such as steaming Cistanche deserticola. Boiling involves placing the cleaned TCM, with or without excipients, into a pot, adding an appropriate amount of water, and boiling it together. The purpose of boiling is to remove or reduce the toxic side effects of the medicine.

[0003] During the steaming and boiling of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs, impurities often remain in the decoction. Generally, the decoction needs to be filtered out after steaming, which is not only a complex process leading to waste of the decoction, but also results in a significant amount of unusable decoction remaining within the steamed herbs. Therefore, this application designs a TCM steaming and boiling device that facilitates the discharge of the decoction and filtration of impurities while simultaneously extracting the absorbed decoction from the herbs, thus addressing this deficiency in existing technology.

[0034] The lower end of the outer steaming cylinder 1 is fixed with multiple ring-shaped support frames 2 that are evenly distributed and stable on the ground. The surface of the outer steaming cylinder 1 is equipped with a controller 3 for charging and storing electricity and controlling the system. Multiple heating wires 6 are fixed on the inner wall of the outer steaming cylinder 1. A ceramic inner cylinder 7 is installed on the inner side of the outer steaming cylinder 1, located outside the heating wires 6. The heating wires 6 are evenly distributed in a ring to ensure uniform heating of the ceramic inner cylinder 7. The ceramic inner cylinder 7 is made of ceramic material to ensure the heating effect.

[0035] The steaming partition 4, the sealing lid 5, the outer steaming cylinder 1, and the ceramic inner cylinder 7 are all concentric.

[0036] A loading support frame 11 is installed and fixed on the open surface of the outer steaming cylinder 1. A hydraulic push rod 12 is installed and fixed on the upper surface of the loading support frame 11. A connecting frame 13 connected and fixed to the cover 5 is installed and fixed at the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 12. A steaming partition 4 is connected to the lower side of the cover 5.

[0037] It should be added that the cover 5 is provided with an exhaust hole for steam to be released during steaming, and the steaming baffle 4 is provided with multiple equally spaced perforations to facilitate the passage of steam to steam the Chinese medicinal materials placed on the steaming baffle 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, the ceramic inner cylinder 7 is provided with a draining component for discharging the cooking liquid.

[0039] It should be noted that the drain assembly includes a placement cylinder 8 connected to the lower end of the ceramic inner cylinder 7 and penetrating the cooking outer cylinder 1. The lower surface of the placement cylinder 8 is connected to a drain pipe 9, and the outside of the drain pipe 9 is connected to a manual switch valve 10 for controlling the opening and closing of the drain pipe 9.

[0040] Please see Figures 4 to 6 In this embodiment, the steaming baffle 4 is equipped with a storage and drainage component for storing medicinal materials and draining medicinal liquid and filtering medicinal residue.

[0041] It should be noted that the storage and drainage assembly includes an outer cylinder 14, the diameter of which is equal to the inner diameter of the placement cylinder 8, so that the outer cylinder 14 can be fitted into the placement cylinder 8. The lower side of the outer cylinder 14 is connected to a drainage head 15. An inner cylinder 16 connected to the steam baffle 4 is installed and fixed inside the outer cylinder 14. There is a gap between the outer cylinder 14 and the inner cylinder 16. The upper end faces of the inner cylinder 16 and the outer cylinder 14 are sealed. A pair of symmetrically distributed drainage holes 17 are provided on the inner cylinder 16. A filter screen 18 located outside the drainage holes 17 is installed and fixed on the outside of the inner cylinder 16.

[0042] In this embodiment, the storage and drainage assembly is equipped with a switch control component for controlling the drainage and filtration switch.

[0043] It should be noted that the switch control assembly includes a micro motor 19 installed and fixed at the center of the upper surface of the cover 5. The output shaft of the micro motor 19 is fixed with a rotating frame 20 that passes through the steaming baffle 4. The rotating frame 20 is fixed with sealing blocks 21 on both sides to block the drain hole 17.

[0044] The micro motor 19 drives the sealing block 21 to rotate, thereby separating the sealing block 21 from the drain hole 17 and sealing the drain hole 17.

[0045] The cover 5 is equipped with a squeezing component for squeezing and filtering out residual medicinal liquid after steaming and boiling.

[0046] It should be noted that the extrusion assembly includes an electric push rod 22 installed and fixed on the lower surface of the connecting frame 13. An extrusion frame 23 is installed and fixed at the push rod of the electric push rod 22, passing through the cover 5 and the steaming baffle 4 and located outside the rotating frame 20. The opening space in the middle of the extrusion frame 23 does not affect the rotation of the rotating frame 20. An extrusion partition plate 24 located above the inner cylinder 16 is installed and fixed at the other end of the extrusion frame 23. The extrusion partition plate 24 is provided with multiple through holes.

[0047] When both the hydraulic push rod 12 and the electric push rod 22 are in the fully extended state, the cover 5 seals the opening of the ceramic inner cylinder 7, the outer cylinder 14 is located inside the placement cylinder 8, the drain head 15 is located inside the drain pipe 9, and the extrusion partition plate 24 is in contact with the bottom wall of the inner cylinder 16.

[0048] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0049] In use, by starting the hydraulic push rod 12, the outer cylinder 14 is pulled out to the top of the ceramic inner cylinder 7. Then, the electric push rod 22 is started to drive the extrusion partition plate 24 to move up to the top of the inner cylinder 16, so that the Chinese medicine can be put into the 16. Then, the electric push rod 22 is started to drive the extrusion partition plate 24 to move down to limit the Chinese medicine in the inner cylinder 16.

[0050] After the medicinal materials are placed, the hydraulic push rod 12 is activated to push the cap 5 down to seal the opening of the ceramic inner cylinder 7 (at this time, the ceramic inner cylinder 7 contains drinking water). At the same time, the outer cylinder 14 moves into the placement cylinder 8, and the drain head 15 enters the drain pipe 9. Then, the water in the ceramic inner cylinder 7 is used to steam the placed Chinese medicinal materials through the heating wire 6 (at this time, the sealing block 21 seals the drain hole 17 to prevent the filter screen 18 from being steamed at the same time, thus reducing its service life).

[0051] After the cooking is completed, the micro motor 19 is started to drive the sealing block 21 on the rotating frame 20 to rotate and separate from the drain hole 17. At the same time, the manual switch valve 10 is opened so that the cooked medicine can be discharged through the drain hole 17. Meanwhile, the filter screen 18 filters the impurities in the medicine, so that the filtered medicine is discharged through the drain head 15 into the drain pipe 9 and into the container for storage.

[0052] After the liquid medicine is discharged, the micro motor 19 is started again to drive the sealing block 21 on the rotating frame 20 to rotate and seal the drain hole 17. After sealing, the electric push rod 22 is started to drive the extrusion mesh plate 24 on the extrusion frame 23 to move down and squeeze out the residual liquid medicine in the cooked Chinese medicine. Then the micro motor 19 is started to separate the sealing block 21 from the drain hole 17, so that the squeezed liquid medicine is filtered and discharged for storage, thus achieving filtration while avoiding waste of the cooked liquid medicine.

[0053] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that performs control functions, and the existing publicly available power connection technologies are not described in detail in the text.
