Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid storage tank technology, specifically a novel constant temperature Chinese medicine filtration storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoctions, prepared using conventional methods, are considered the most effective. With increasing public acceptance of TCM, the demand for TCM is growing. Decoctions are typically prepared in earthenware pots, clay pots, or stainless steel containers. While household pots are typically earthenware or clay pots, hospitals and some TCM clinics use large, automated stainless steel decoction pots. After decoction, the liquid is transferred and stored in a temperature-controlled filter tank. This filter tank is connected to an automatic packaging machine. The filter tank temporarily stores and filters the TCM liquid, maintaining a constant temperature to prevent uneven sedimentation. Existing TCM filter tanks use glass bodies with a closed wire mesh inlet and an open small wire mesh outlet. An electric heating element is installed inside the tank. A wire mesh filter screen at the top of the tank filters any special medicinal liquids introduced into the tank.

[0003] The liquid storage tanks used in the market as described above have the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. The liquid inlet uses a closed wire mesh filter, which cannot be cleaned inside. The gaps in the wire mesh are also difficult to clean, making the liquid medicine easy to be contaminated.

[0005] 2. The filter screen at the liquid outlet is easily clogged by drug residue, and cleaning the blockage takes a lot of time.

[0006] 3. Direct contact between the heating element and the medicinal liquid can easily cause acidic or alkaline substances in the liquid to deposit and adhere to the heating element, leading to scorching and affecting the quality of the Chinese medicine.

[0007] 4. The upper filter screen uses a wire mesh structure. The gaps in the weave are narrow and difficult to clean. The wire mesh is easily damaged during washing, causing the filter screen to be scrapped. Utility Model Content

[0041] The filter structure is provided on both the upper and lower sides inside the liquid storage tank 100;

[0042] The stirring structure is used to stir the filter residue during filtration to clear the filter pores.

[0043] The constant temperature heating pot 700 includes an insulated pot 701 and a heat-conducting medium 702 injected inside it. An electric heating tube 701 is also installed inside the insulated pot 701, and the electric heating tube 701 generates heat through an external power supply. A support leg 704 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the insulated pot 701.

[0044] A retaining ring 104 is provided on the inner side of the liquid storage tank 100 near the top. A partition 400 is placed on the retaining ring 104, and the edge of the partition 400 is provided with a sealing structure. An inlet 101 is provided on the side of the liquid storage tank 100 and at the top of the partition 400. A medicine filling port 201 is provided on one side of the top of the tank cover 200.

[0045] The bottom of the inner surface of the liquid storage tank 100 is conical, and a liquid storage tank 103 is recessed at the center of the bottom of the liquid storage tank 100, and an outlet 102 is provided at the center of the bottom of the liquid storage tank 103.

[0046] By installing a baffle 400 and a filter structure at the inlet, the liquid can be filtered for the first time, preventing clogging. A filter structure at the bottom outlet allows for a second filtration when the liquid is discharged, ensuring the purity of the liquid. A constant temperature heating pot 700 is installed at the bottom of the storage tank 100, with an electric heating tube 701 inside to heat the heat transfer medium 702. Heating the storage tank 100 through the heat transfer medium 702 ensures uniform heating of the tank body and avoids scorching. In addition, an anti-clogging stirring structure is also provided to maintain filtration efficiency for a long time.

[0047] The second implementation method differs from the first implementation method in that the filter structure is a cylindrical stainless steel filter screen 600, the upper stainless steel filter screen 600 runs through and overlaps the center of the partition 400, the lower stainless steel filter screen 600 is placed in the liquid storage tank 103, the bottom of the stainless steel filter screen 600 is provided with filter screen holes, and the bottom center of the stainless steel filter screen 600 is provided with a filter screen center hole 601.

[0048] The stirring structure includes a motor 300 fixedly connected to the top center of the lid 200. The output end of the motor 300 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 301 via a coupling. The drive shaft 301 is a prismatic shaft. Multi-blade scrapers 502 are slidably fitted on the drive shaft 301 and inside the two filter structures. The bottom center of the multi-blade scraper 502 is provided with a protrusion 501 that penetrates the central hole 601 of the filter screen. The multi-blade scraper 502 and the protrusion 501 are both provided with prismatic holes 503 that are adapted to the drive shaft 301. A bottom cover 302 is fitted at the bottom end of the drive shaft 301 and below the filter structure. The bottom cover 302 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 301 by bolts.

[0049] The multi-blade scraper 502 is driven by motor 300 to rotate. On the one hand, it can push away the dregs in the stainless steel filter screen 600 to avoid clogging. On the other hand, it can promote the flow of the medicine liquid and facilitate uniform heating. The upper and lower multi-blade scrapers 502 are connected and driven together by drive shaft 301. When the drive shaft 301 is lifted, the upper and lower stainless steel filter screens 600 can also be lifted and removed at the same time for easy cleaning.

[0050] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0051] After the Chinese medicine is decocted, it is connected to the inlet 101 on the barrel through a pipe to inject the original Chinese medicine liquid into the storage tank 100. The liquid flows through the partition 400 into the upper stainless steel filter 600. After being filtered by the upper stainless steel filter 600, the liquid flows into the storage tank 100 and is stored inside. The storage tank 100 is mounted on a constant temperature heating pot 700. The heating tube 701 is activated to heat the heat transfer medium 702, keeping the heat transfer medium 702 at a constant temperature. The heat transfer medium heats the original Chinese medicine liquid in the storage tank 100, preventing the liquid from cooling and settling. The outlet 102 of the storage tank 100 is connected to the packaging machine. The original Chinese medicine liquid is drawn out of the storage tank 100 as needed by the packaging machine. When the liquid flows out, it is also filtered a second time through the stainless steel filter 600.

[0052] Throughout the process, the motor 300 is started, which drives the upper and lower stirring scrapers 500 to rotate via the drive shaft 301, cleaning the dregs on the upper surface of the stainless steel filter screen 600 and preventing the dregs from clogging the stainless steel filter screen 600.
