Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine production, especially to a steam decocting pot. BACKGROUND

[0002] The decoction is suitable for the principle of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and addition and subtraction according to symptoms. In addition to the characteristics of simple preparation, wide solvent source, no irritation and no side effects, it also has the advantages of liquid preparation, that is, rapid absorption and rapid drug efficacy. Decoction is the most widely used dosage form in clinical practice.

[0003] In the early development of traditional Chinese medicine, cooking utensils were mostly food utensils. In ancient times, because raw materials were easy to obtain and the manufacturing cost was low, pottery decoction utensils were widely used. At the same time, pottery vessels have stable chemical properties and have always been the main decoction utensils.

[0004] With the development of the times and the promotion of urbanization, personal decoction has gradually become a burden due to various factors, and traditional Chinese medicine decoction services are carried out in various places. Because traditional Chinese medicine decoction is a dialectical treatment, one prescription for one person, and a large amount of production relies on manual work. The current decoction machine mostly uses cloth bags to wrap and decoct, and due to the insolubility of the wrapped and decocted objects, the squeezing and solid-liquid separation after decoction cause some insoluble particles to enter the medicinal liquid, which seriously affects the quality of traditional Chinese medicine decoction; using cloth bags to wrap and soak and decoct is difficult to ensure that the effective part of the medicinal material is dissolved and affects the curative effect. Large-scale decoction centers urgently need to introduce intelligent decoction equipment that follows the traditional decoction process to meet the growing demand for decoction and high-quality decoction services, improve decoction quality and management level, and promote the high-quality development of the decoction industry.

[0005] In order to filter traditional Chinese medicine through the decoction pot, a filterable decoction pot is designed, which has the structure that: it comprises an outer container, an inner container and a cover; the inner container is provided with an inner container part container opening, the upper end of the outer container is provided with an outer container part container opening, and the inner container is detachably arranged in the outer container through the outer container part container opening; the cover is detachably supported on the inner container or the outer container to cover the inner container part container opening, the medicinal material is located in the inner container during decoction, and the inner container is provided with a filter hole. The decoction pot of this structure is supported by the step formed by the small diameter section at the lower end of the outer container, and the structure is not compact, no heat insulation cavity is formed, and the heat loss during decoction is large. The existing steam decoction pot is heated by electricity or open fire on the stove, and cannot be heated by steam. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] The first purpose of the utility model is to provide a steam decoction pot capable of decocting by steam heating, which solves the problem that the existing decoction pot cannot be heated by steam.

[0007] The second objective of this invention is to provide a steam decoction pot with good heat preservation and a compact structure, thereby solving the problems of existing double-layer decoction pots being neither compact nor having good heat preservation.

[0008] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: a steam decoction pot, comprising a pot body and a lid covering the pot body, characterized in that a bottom sleeve is fitted onto the bottom wall of the pot body, and a steam heating chamber is formed between the bottom sleeve and the pot body. The steam heating chamber is provided with a steam input interface, which is located at the lowest point of the steam heating chamber. It can utilize steam to heat and decoct traditional Chinese medicine. During use, steam is input into the steam heating chamber through the steam input interface.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the bottom sleeve is provided with a support structure for supporting the steam decoction pot. This ensures that the upper part of the present invention is supported.

[0010] Preferably, the support structure consists of several support plates distributed circumferentially along the bottom sleeve. This ensures reliable support.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom wall of the pot body is an upward-arched structure. This increases the steam contact area, thereby increasing heating efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom wall of the base sleeve has an arched structure that curves upwards, allowing condensate to drain smoothly.

[0013] Preferably, the pot body includes an outer container and an inner container; the inner container has an inner container opening, and the upper end of the outer container has an outer container opening, through which the inner container can be removed and inserted into the outer container; the lid can be detachably supported on the inner container or detachably supported on the outer container to seal the inner container opening. During decoction, the Chinese medicinal herbs are located inside the inner container. The inner container has filter holes, and its bottom wall is an upwardly arched structure. A transition surface is provided between the side wall and bottom wall of the outer container, and the bottom wall of the inner container is supported on this transition surface. The filter holes are located on the bottom wall of the inner container. A heat-insulating cavity is formed between the side wall of the inner container and the side wall of the outer container, surrounding the inner container. Compared to existing structures that use a stepped section at the lower end of the outer container to support the inner container and thus form a heating cavity between the lower parts of the inner and outer containers, this technical solution has a higher utilization rate of the container; it can reliably and conveniently form a heat-insulating cavity, and provides good heat preservation during heating. The second purpose of the invention has been achieved.

[0014] Preferably, a transition surface for the inner container is provided between the side wall and the bottom wall of the inner container. The bottom wall of the inner container is supported on the transition surface of the outer container by the upper end of the transition surface of the inner container, and the lower end of the transition surface of the inner container is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the outer container. This provides good stability during support.

[0015] Preferably, the filter holes are only located on the transition surface of the inner container. This improves the efficiency of heating the inner container during the decoction process, as the outer container contacts the heat source.

[0016] Preferably, the inner container sidewall, the inner container transition surface, and the inner container bottom wall are integrally formed. This improves surface smoothness and facilitates cleaning.

[0017] Preferably, the outer surface of the side wall of the inner container is provided with several overflow-prevention grooves distributed in a vertical direction, and the overflow-prevention grooves are distributed circumferentially along the inner container. Several return flow holes penetrating the internal space of the inner container are provided within the overflow-prevention grooves. This effectively prevents the foam located in the heat-insulating cavity from overflowing during the decoction process and effectively eliminates foam.

[0018] The utility model has the following advantages: it can be heated by steam; it has a compact structure, good heat preservation effect, and is easy to transfer. Attached Figure Description
