[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Example 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a tiltable steaming and cooking device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, including a tank body 2. Two storage plates 12 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the tank body 2. A slot 17 is opened at the top of the storage plate 12. A limiting groove 20 is opened on the inner wall of the slot 17. Two first springs 21 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 20. A locking plate 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the two first springs 21. A movable plate 23 is fixedly installed at the end of the locking plate 22 near the first spring 21. One end of the movable plate 23 passes through the storage plate 12 and is fixedly installed with a pull plate 25. Two through-holes are opened at the top of the movable plate 23. A fixed plate 26 is fixedly installed at one end of the storage plate 12 near the pull plate 25. A second spring 27 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 26.

At this time, the outer wall of the locking plate 22 is in contact with the inner wall of the locking groove 19, and the outer wall of the insert plate 18 is in contact with the inner wall of the slot 17, improving the sealing performance and preventing air leakage. When the use is finished, the operator pulls the pull plate 25, the pull plate 25 drives the moving plate 23 and the locking plate 22 to move, at which point the inclined surface of the locking block 28 contacts the inner wall of the locking plate 22. Figure 3 When the inner wall of the fixing port 24 on the right side is in contact, the locking block 28 rises and the second spring 27 is compressed. When the locking plate 22 leaves the slot 19, the fixing port 24 on the left side moves below the locking block 28, and the locking block 28 enters the fixing port 24 to fix the moving plate 23. At this time, the staff can pull out the insert plate 18 to remove the can lid 7, which improves the disassembly efficiency.

[0026] Example 2, as Figures 1-5 As shown, a U-shaped plate 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body 2, and a second motor 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 13. The output end of the second motor 14 passes through the U-shaped plate 13 and is fixedly installed with a connecting shaft 15. The top of the connecting shaft 15 passes through the tank body 2, and a placement groove 31 is opened at the top of the connecting shaft 15. A placement plate 32 is slidably installed inside the placement groove 31. A connecting groove 33 is opened through the outer wall of the placement plate 32, and a scraper 16 is fixedly installed at the top of the placement plate 32.

[0027] Furthermore, a fixing groove 34 is provided on the inner side wall of the placement groove 31, and a threaded hole 35 is provided through the inner wall of the fixing groove 34. A threaded rod 36 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 35. A fixing block 37 is movably connected to one end of the threaded rod 36 near the placement groove 31, and a handle 38 is fixedly installed at the other end of the threaded rod 36 away from the fixing block 37.

[0028] Furthermore, two support plates 3 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the tank body 2. A rotating shaft 4 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the two support plates 3. A support frame 1 is rotatably installed on the opposite side of the two rotating shafts 4. A first motor 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one of the two support frames 1. The output end of the first motor 5 passes through the support frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4.

[0029] Furthermore, an air inlet pipe 9 is installed through and fixedly mounted on the top of the can lid 7, and multiple sets of evenly distributed nozzles 10 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 9.

[0030] Furthermore, a pressure relief valve 6 is installed through and fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the tank body 2, and two handles 8 are symmetrically installed on the top of the tank cover 7.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer wall of the fixing block 37 fits against the inner wall of the fixing groove 34. The fixing block 37 is limited to prevent it from rotating when the threaded rod 36 rotates.

[0032] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is that when replacing the scraper 16, the operator rotates the handle 38, the threaded rod 36 rotates, the threaded rod 36 moves along the threaded hole 35, thereby driving the fixing block 37 away from the connecting groove 33. At this time, the operator can pull out the placement plate 32, replace the new scraper 16, insert the placement plate 32 into the placement groove 31, and rotate the handle 38 in the opposite direction to insert the fixing block 37 into the connecting groove 33. In this way, the replacement can be completed, which is convenient for replacing the scraper 16 when it wears out after long-term use.

[0033] Working principle: During use, the operator puts the raw materials into the tank 2, then places the tank lid 7 on top of the tank 2. The insert plate 18 enters the slot 17, and the insert plate 18 contacts the inclined surface of the clamping plate 22, pushing the clamping plate 22 to move. The first spring 21 is compressed. When the clamping groove 19 moves next to the clamping plate 22, the elastic force of the first spring 21 pushes the clamping plate 22 into the clamping groove 19. At this time, the insert plate 18 is fixed, thus completing the installation of the tank lid 7. At this time, the outer wall of the clamping plate 22 is in contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove 19, and the outer wall of the insert plate 18 is in contact with the inner wall of the slot 17, improving the sealing performance and preventing air leakage. Then, the operator introduces steam into the air inlet pipe 9, and finally sprays it out from the nozzle 10, so that the tank 2 is heated evenly. When the use is over, the operator pulls the pull plate 25. The pull plate 25 drives the moving plate 23 and the clamping plate 22 to move. At this time, the inclined surface of the clamping block 28 contacts the inclined surface of the clamping plate 22. Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the fixing port 24 on the right side contacts the locking block 28, causing the second spring 27 to compress. When the locking plate 22 leaves the locking slot 19, the fixing port 24 on the left side moves below the locking block 28, and the locking block 28 enters the fixing port 24, fixing the moving plate 23. At this point, the operator can pull out the insert plate 18 to remove the can lid 7, improving disassembly efficiency. Finally, the operator starts the first motor 5, causing the can body 2 to rotate, facilitating the pouring of the Chinese herbal medicine slices. Simultaneously, the operator starts the second motor 14, causing the connecting shaft 15 and scraper 16 to rotate, scraping away the blades adsorbed on the inner wall of the can body 2. When replacing scraper 16, the operator rotates handle 38, the threaded rod 36 rotates, and the threaded rod 36 moves along threaded hole 35, thereby driving the fixing block 37 away from connecting groove 33. At this time, the operator can pull out placement plate 32, replace scraper 16, insert placement plate 32 into placement groove 31, and rotate handle 38 in the opposite direction to insert fixing block 37 into connecting groove 33. This completes the replacement, making it convenient to replace scraper 16 when it wears out after long-term use.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
