Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soaking pool technology, and in particular to a soaking pool for Chinese herbal medicine slices with steam heating function. Background Technology

[0002] Steam heating is a highly efficient, energy-saving, and more precise temperature control method. In traditional decoction equipment, the introduction of steam heating can solve many problems associated with conventional heating methods. Steam heating evenly transfers heat to the water tank or medicinal liquid through heat conduction, resulting in more uniform heating and more stable temperature control. This method is particularly suitable for the soaking and decoction processes of Chinese medicinal herbs, effectively improving the extraction rate and efficacy of the herbs.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN202220858688.7 discloses a soaking tank for the production of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, belonging to the field of soaking tanks. The tank includes a main body, a connecting frame mounted on one side, a first pulverizing blade rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting frame, a first motor fixed to one side of the connecting frame for driving the first pulverizing blade, a second pulverizing blade mounted inside the connecting frame and located on the side of the first pulverizing blade, and a mounting frame at one end of the second pulverizing blade. The second motor is fixed to the inner side of the mounting frame and drives the second pulverizing blade to rotate. The mounting frame is slidably connected to the main body of the tank, and a feed chute is provided on the side of the main body near the connecting frame. This method pulverizes traditional Chinese medicine more quickly, reduces the time the medicine tumbles on the pulverizing blade, and effectively reduces the likelihood of the pulverizing blade jamming. It eliminates the need for manual adjustment by workers, thereby improving the efficiency of pulverizing traditional Chinese medicine.

[0004] One of the traditional applications of Chinese medicine is decoction, which usually involves heating the medicinal herbs together with water to release the active ingredients into the water. Traditional decoction processes typically use open flames or electric heating, but these methods often have problems such as uneven heating, high energy consumption, and inaccurate temperature control. In addition, it is necessary to control the heat and time during the decoction process in order to achieve the best medicinal effect. Utility Model Content

The sealing barrier assembly includes an L-shaped steam pipe 5 made of high-temperature resistant material, and a sealing ring 13 for better sealing, preventing the barrier plate 21 from failing to seal the exhaust port 12 properly. The bottom of the soaking water tank 2 is made of heat-insulating material to prevent excessive heat from affecting the drive motor 15. Through the coordinated use of the nozzle 8, exhaust port 12, heating assembly, and barrier assembly, steam can be used to heat Chinese herbal medicine slices. Compared with traditional hot water or direct heating methods, steam can transfer heat more evenly and efficiently, avoiding local overheating. Furthermore, steam can better penetrate the effective components in Chinese herbal medicines, promoting their dissolution and volatilization, improving the extraction effect, ensuring the quality and efficacy of the Chinese herbal medicine slices, and preventing backflow of the liquid medicine through the barrier assembly, ensuring the safe use of the equipment.

[0041] The heating assembly includes several heating wires 14, which are fixedly installed inside the water tank 3. By setting the heating wires 14, the water in the water tank 3 can be heated quickly, thereby quickly generating water vapor. The driving assembly includes a drive motor 15 fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking water tank 2. The output end of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to a worm gear 16. One end of the worm gear 16 is rotatably connected to a suspension plate 17. The top of the suspension plate 17 is fixedly connected to the soaking water tank 2. By setting the suspension plate 17, the worm gear 16 can rotate smoothly and prevent the worm gear 16 from tilting during operation. The outer wall of the worm gear 16 is meshed with a worm wheel 18, which is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 6. By setting the worm wheel 18, the worm gear 16 can drive the worm to rotate, so that the connecting pipe 6 can be driven to rotate synchronously.

[0042] The barrier assembly includes a telescopic rod 19 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 10. A spring 20 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 19. One end of the spring 20 and the telescopic rod 19 are fixedly connected to a barrier plate 21. The barrier plate 21 is interlocked with the sealing ring 13. By setting the telescopic rod 19, the barrier plate 21 can be guided when moving under the action of the spring 20, ensuring that it will not deviate during extension and retraction. One side of the water tank 3 penetrates the support shell 1 and is respectively equipped with a water inlet pipe 22, a safety valve 23 and a pressure gauge 24. By setting the pressure gauge 24, pressure data can be observed. By setting the safety valve 23, pressure can be released when the pressure is too high, ensuring the safety of the device.

[0043] A shelf 25 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the soaking water tank 2, and a temperature sensor 26 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the soaking water tank 2. A water outlet pipe 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the soaking water tank 2. By setting the shelf 25, it is convenient to place Chinese medicine slices. Under the action of the temperature sensor 26, the temperature change in the soaking water tank 2 can be monitored in real time. A controller 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the support shell 1, and a solenoid valve 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the steam pipe 5. By setting the controller 28, it is convenient to control the device. And by setting the solenoid valve 4, the steam heating operation can be quickly controlled.

[0044] Working principle: First, the controller 28 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 4, heating wire 14, drive motor 15, and temperature sensor 26 respectively to facilitate easier control of the device. The user can place the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the shelf 25, and then control the heating wire 14 to heat the water in the water tank 3. At this time, the solenoid valve 4 is in the closed state. After the water in the water tank 3 is heated to boiling, water vapor is generated. Then, the solenoid valve 4 can be controlled to open, and the water vapor enters the connecting pipe 6 along the steam pipe 5. After passing through the annular pipe 7, it enters the nozzle 8. Then, under the pressure of the water vapor, the steam pushes out the baffle plate 21. The movement of the baffle plate 21 causes the spring 20 and the telescopic rod 19 to move synchronously, so that the steam is discharged from the exhaust port 12. After entering the mesh of the filter screen 11, the steam enters the soaking water tank 2, thereby heating the Chinese herbal medicine slices. At the same time, the temperature in the soaking water tank 2 is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 26, so as to better control the temperature. When heating is no longer needed, the solenoid valve 4 is closed, so that the steam can no longer put pressure on the baffle plate 21, which in turn causes the spring 20 to retract and push the baffle plate 21 to the position of the sealing ring 13 to lock it in place, thus sealing the vent 12 and preventing water from flowing back into the water tank 3. Furthermore, before the next start-up, the solenoid valve 4 can be opened and closed in advance to allow the condensate water stuck in the annular pipe 7 to flow back, so as not to affect the next steam heating and to save resources.

[0045] During the steam heating process, the drive motor 15 can be started and started. The output end rotates to drive the worm gear 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 18 meshing with the worm gear 16 to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 18 further drives the connecting pipe 6 to rotate, which in turn allows the nozzle 8 connected to the annular pipe 7 to rotate. This allows the steam in the steam heating process to rotate and spray in the soaking water tank 2, and also to stir the water, thereby heating more evenly and avoiding local overheating caused by heating one position for a long time. This ensures that each part of the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be fully soaked.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
