Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment, and in particular to an immersion device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of processing Chinese medicinal materials, it is necessary to go through the processes of washing, soaking, steaming, slicing and drying. Soaking refers to placing the Chinese medicinal materials in water to wet them and then taking them out immediately, or placing the Chinese medicinal materials in clean water or auxiliary medicinal liquid to allow the water to fully penetrate and soften the Chinese medicinal materials. After soaking for a certain period of time, the Chinese medicinal materials can be quickly steamed to extract the Chinese medicinal components they should have during the decoction process.

[0003] Most existing soaking devices used in the production of Chinese herbal medicine slices involve placing the herbs in a soaking tank to absorb water. However, due to limitations in the water volume within the tank to prevent affecting the efficacy of the herbs, sometimes not all herbs are submerged. Furthermore, the lack of water flow in the tank results in some herbs remaining unsoaked. Additionally, when some herbs float on the surface, some areas inevitably remain unsoaked. Therefore, the soaking efficiency of existing devices in the production of Chinese herbal medicine slices is relatively low, and the soaking effect needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an immersion device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: an impregnation device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, comprising a cylindrical shell, the cylindrical shell being arranged laterally and having a double-layer structure of an inner shell and an outer shell, with a water pipe arranged laterally in the space between the inner shell and the outer shell, the water pipe extending from one end of the cylindrical shell to the other end, both ends of the water pipe communicating with the internal space of the inner shell, and a water pump being provided on the water pipe; the inner shell is a sealed cylinder, with a roller inside the inner shell, the roller being arranged laterally and coaxial with the inner shell, the roller having multiple strip holes extending along the roller's axial direction, one end of the roller being driven to rotate by a motor, and the other end of the roller being fixed to the cylindrical shell by a bearing, the inner shell having a water inlet and a water outlet; an isolation ring being provided at each of the two ends of the roller, the inner diameter of the isolation ring being slightly larger than the outer diameter of the roller, the outer ring of the isolation ring being fixed to the inner wall of the inner shell, and several through holes being provided on the ring surface of the isolation ring, the two ends of the water pipe being respectively directed toward the side of the two isolation rings away from the roller.

[0006] The roller has an observation port, the observation port has a sliding window, and the cylindrical shell has a door corresponding to the size and position of the sliding window.

[0007] The through holes of the isolation ring are evenly distributed around the inner ring of the isolation ring.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the immersion device for the production of Chinese herbal medicine slices achieves internal water circulation inside the inner shell by setting water pipes and water pumps, and improves water flow by setting isolation rings; the Chinese herbal medicine is placed in the drum, and the drum rotates under the drive of the motor. Under the dual action of the rotation of the drum and the flow of water, the Chinese herbal medicine inside the drum is effectively and evenly disturbed, thus improving the immersion effect.

[0013] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an impregnation device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, comprising a cylindrical shell, which is arranged horizontally and has a double-layer structure consisting of an inner shell 1 and an outer shell 2. A water pipe 3 is provided in the space between the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2. The water pipe 3 is arranged horizontally and extends from one end of the cylindrical shell to the other end. Both ends of the water pipe 3 are connected to the internal space of the inner shell 1. A water pump 4 is provided on the water pipe 3.

[0015] The inner shell 1 is a sealed cylinder. Inside the inner shell 1, there is a roller 5, which is arranged laterally and coaxial with the inner shell 1. Multiple strip-shaped holes 5-1 are opened on the roller 5, extending axially along the roller 5. Each strip-shaped hole 5-1 can surround the roller 5. One end of the roller 5 is driven to rotate by a motor 6, and the other end of the roller 5 is fixed to the cylindrical shell by a bearing 7. The inner shell 1 has a water inlet and a water outlet. In practice, the connection points between both ends of the water pipe 3 and the inner shell 1 need to be sealed to prevent water from the inner shell 1 from entering the space between the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2. The motor 6 and the bearing 7 are both sealed and isolated from the internal space of the inner shell 1 to prevent water from entering the motor 6 and bearing 7.

[0016] An isolation ring 8 is provided at each of the two ends of the roller 5. The inner diameter of the isolation ring 8 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the roller 5, and the outer ring of the isolation ring 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the inner shell 1. Figure 2 As shown, several through holes 8-1 are provided on the ring surface of the isolation ring 8. The two ends of the water pipe 3 are respectively facing the side of the two isolation rings 8 away from the roller 5. That is, the water from the outlet of the water pipe 3 enters into the small space at both ends formed by the isolation ring 8, the roller 5 and the inner shell 1, and then enters into the annular space between the inner shell 1 and the roller 5 through the through hole 8-1 of the isolation ring 8, and then enters into the interior of the roller 5 through the strip hole 5-1 of the roller 5.

[0017] The roller 5 has an observation port 5-2, and a sliding window 9 is provided on the observation port 5-2. The cylindrical shell has a door corresponding to the size and position of the sliding window 9. By opening the door on the cylindrical shell and rotating the roller 5 to align the observation port 5-2 with the door, the sliding window 9 can be opened, and the Chinese medicinal materials to be soaked can be placed inside. Alternatively, the sliding window 9 can be made transparent, allowing the door on the cylindrical shell to be opened while the roller 5 is operating, and the condition of the Chinese medicinal materials inside the roller 5 can be observed through the observation port 5-2. Preferably, the door can be located at the top of the cylindrical shell.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, the through holes 8-1 of the isolation ring 8 are evenly arranged around the inner ring of the isolation ring 8.

[0019] This invention relates to a soaking device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. The inner shell 1 is a sealed cylinder with an inlet and an outlet. By opening the door on the cylindrical shell and rotating the roller 5 to align the observation port 5-2 with the door, the sliding window 9 is opened, and the medicinal materials to be soaked are placed inside. After the medicinal materials are placed in the roller 5, an appropriate amount of water for soaking the medicinal materials is introduced into the inner shell 1 through the inlet. A water pipe 3 and a water pump 4 enable internal circulation of water within the inner shell 1. The water pump 4 transports water from one end of the water pipe 3 (one side of the inner shell 1) to the other end (the other side of the inner shell 1). The isolation ring 8 has a through hole 8-1, through which water enters the space between the inner shell 1 and the roller 5, and then enters the interior of the roller 5 through the slotted hole 5-1. Due to the action of water pipe 3 and water pump 4, water flows out from the through hole 8-1 of the isolation ring 8 on one side and flows in from the through hole 8-1 of the isolation ring 8 on the other side. In this way, the isolation ring 8 can prevent water from directly entering the inside of the drum 5 through the strip hole 5-1, reducing the direct flow path of water and increasing the fluidity of water. The drum 5 rotates under the drive of the motor. Under the dual action of the rotation of the drum 5 and the flow of water, the Chinese medicinal materials inside the drum 5 are effectively and evenly disturbed, improving the soaking effect. After soaking, open the water outlet of the inner shell 1 to drain the water inside the inner shell 1. Since the drum 5 is located inside the inner shell 1, that is, the lowest point of the drum 5 is higher than the lowest point of the inner shell 1, the water inside the inner shell 1 will not accumulate in the drum 5. Draining the water from the inner shell 1 will also prevent water accumulation in the drum 5. Open the door on the cylindrical shell, open the sliding window 9, and take out the Chinese medicinal materials through the observation port 5-2. If the Chinese medicinal materials are scattered inside the drum 5, they can be scraped off with the help of tools.

[0020] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
