Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction technology, and specifically relates to a decoction device for extracting traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to drugs that are collected, processed, and prepared according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, explaining their mechanisms of action and guiding their clinical application. The active ingredients in TCM are located within the medicinal materials themselves; when taking TCM, these active ingredients need to be extracted and dissolved in water to form a medicinal liquid.

[0003] Chinese patent CN220968142U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine extraction machine using an extrusion screw, relating to the field of traditional Chinese medicine. The machine includes a main unit with a decoction chamber. The top of the decoction chamber has an opening, and a chamber cover is movably fitted over the opening. The main unit also has a liquid outlet communicating with the decoction chamber. A pressure filter cylinder has through-holes on its surface, and is movably installed within the decoction chamber. An extrusion screw is installed inside the pressure filter cylinder, forming an extrusion gap between the screw and the inner wall of the cylinder. The screw surface has downwardly rotating, inclined extrusion threads. A motor is mounted on the main unit, and its output shaft extends into the decoction chamber and connects to the extrusion screw. A heating element is located on the outer periphery of the decoction chamber for heating it.

[0004] Currently, traditional Chinese medicine is typically purchased and taken home by the user, then decocted in a clay pot. However, this method has a problem: the extraction efficiency of active ingredients from the herbs is low per unit time. Furthermore, the decoction process relies on the natural diffusion and dissolution of these active ingredients into the liquid, often leaving a significant amount of residual active ingredients even after prolonged boiling. In the aforementioned method, the herbs are continuously squeezed, ground, and broken down by a screw extruder, making it easier to extract the active ingredients. However, the filter cylinder is located inside the decoction chamber, with its upper surface lower than the main unit's upper surface. Removing the filter cylinder requires reaching into the main unit, which is inconvenient.

[0005] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a decoction device for extracting traditional Chinese medicine, including a housing 1. A heating component 2 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. A filter cylinder 3 is placed inside the heating component 2. A telescopic component 4 is provided inside the housing 1. A crushing component 5 is threadedly connected to the outside of the housing 1. A discharge component 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating component 2. The heating component 2 is used to decoct the traditional Chinese medicine in the filter cylinder 3. The telescopic component 4 is used to push the filter cylinder 3 to pop out from the housing 1. The crushing component 5 is used to crush the traditional Chinese medicine in the filter cylinder 3.

[0031] First, pour the Chinese medicine into the filter cylinder 3, then pour water into the heating component 2. At this time, both the filter cylinder 3 and the Chinese medicine are in the water inside the heating component 2. Then, install the crushing component 5 on the housing 1. The crushing component 5 pushes the filter cylinder 3 downward, causing the filter cylinder 3 to compress the telescopic component 4. Part of the crushing component 5 is located inside the filter cylinder 3. Start the crushing component 5 to crush the Chinese medicine. The crushed Chinese medicine passes through the filter cylinder 3 and enters the heating component 2. Start the heating component 2 to heat the water and Chinese medicine to promote the formation of medicinal liquid. Finally, the medicinal liquid is discharged from the discharge component 6 at the bottom of the heating component 2. After removing the crushing component 5, the telescopic component 4 can push the filter cylinder 3 upward, making it easy to remove the filter cylinder 3.

[0032] This utility model connects the filter cartridge 3 and the telescopic component 4. When the filter cartridge 3 is installed into the housing 1, the telescopic component 4 is located below the filter cartridge 3. Then, the crushing component 5 is installed on the housing 1. During the installation process, the crushing component 5 pushes the filter cartridge 3 downward and compresses the telescopic component 4. When the crushing component 5 is removed after use, the downward pressure on the telescopic component 4 is released, and the telescopic component 4 can push the filter cartridge 3 upward, so that the filter cartridge 3 can automatically pop out from the housing 1, making it easy to remove the filter cartridge 3.

[0033] In one embodiment, the heating component 2 includes a battery box 201, which is fixedly connected inside the housing 1.

The heating wire 202 is sleeved on the outer surface of the heating cylinder 203.

[0034] The battery box 201 is used to supply power to the heating wire 202. After the heating wire 202 is powered on, it generates heat and heats the heating cylinder 203, which raises the temperature of the filter cylinder 3, Chinese medicine and water inside the heating cylinder 203, and accelerates the precipitation of effective components in the Chinese medicine.

[0035] In one embodiment, the telescopic component 4 includes a slider 401, a groove 402 is provided inside the housing 1, a limiting plate 403 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slider 401, the slider 401 and the limiting plate 403 are slidably connected inside the groove 402, a spring 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 403, the lower end of the spring 404 is fixedly connected to the groove 402, and the slider 401 is located at the bottom of the filter cartridge 3.

[0036] When the filter cartridge 3 moves downward, it pushes the slider 401 to move, causing the slider 401 to slide within the groove 402 along with the limiting plate 403. The slider 401 retracts into the groove 402 and causes the limiting plate 403 to compress the spring 404. When the downward pressure of the filter cartridge 3 is removed, the spring 404 can push the limiting plate 403 and the slider 401 upward, and the slider 401 pushes the filter cartridge 3 out of the housing 1.

[0037] In one embodiment, the crushing component 5 includes a connecting seat 501, a small motor 502 is fixedly connected inside the connecting seat 501, a crushing blade 503 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the small motor 502, the connecting seat 501 is threadedly connected to the housing 1, and the output shaft of the small motor 502 extends to the outside of the connecting seat 501.

[0038] After the connecting seat 501 is installed on the housing 1, the crushing blade 503 extends into the filter cartridge 3. The small motor 502 inside the connecting seat 501 is connected to the battery box 201. The small motor 502 is started, and the output shaft of the small motor 502 drives the crushing blade 503 to rotate inside the filter cartridge 3, so that the crushing blade 503 crushes the Chinese medicine inside the filter cartridge 3, thereby allowing it to fully contact with water and facilitating the extraction of effective components from the Chinese medicine.

[0039] In one embodiment, the discharge assembly 6 includes a discharge pipe 601, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating cylinder 203.
