Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of percolation tank technology, and in particular to a percolation tank for extracting effective components from traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Percolation tanks are commonly used leaching and extraction equipment in the fields of medicine, food, and chemical industry, and are especially widely used in the extraction of components from traditional Chinese medicine.

[0003] Percolation is a method of extracting medicinal materials by continuously adding an extracting solvent to the coarse powder, allowing it to permeate through the material, and then the extract flows out from the bottom outlet. In actual use, due to the continuous addition of the extracting solvent, the flow of the solvent impacts the medicinal material, causing it to accumulate in specific locations. The accumulated medicinal material becomes more compact, making it more difficult for the extracting solvent to penetrate the material. At the same time, the extracting solvent has difficulty penetrating the part of the medicinal material in the center of the accumulation, resulting in a significant decrease in the extraction effect of the extracting solvent. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine percolation tank for extracting effective components. This percolation tank can effectively inhibit the accumulation of medicinal materials inside and ensure the extraction effect.

[0005] This utility model provides a traditional Chinese medicine percolation tank for extracting effective components, comprising:

[0006] A tank body, into which an extraction solvent is introduced;

[0007] A filter plate is horizontally assembled inside the tank, with the outer wall of the filter plate and the inner wall of the tank in contact. Medicinal herbs are placed on the filter plate.

[0008] A partition, which is fixedly arranged in a grid pattern on the upper surface of the filtrate plate, evenly separates the medicinal materials.

[0009] Preferably, the partition extends through the filter plate and forms a grid-like protrusion on both the top and bottom of the filter plate.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the tank is provided with snap-fit ​​protrusions, and the filter plate is fixedly snapped into the inside of the tank by the snap-fit ​​protrusions. The snap-fit ​​protrusions are composed of snap blocks evenly distributed on the inner wall of the tank, and the snap blocks are at the same horizontal height and simultaneously abut against the filter plate.

[0011] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​protrusion is an annular protrusion integrally formed on the inner wall of the tank, and the filter plate is symmetrically provided with two cut edges, the depth of which is not less than the height of the snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0012] Preferably, the filter plates are distributed in parallel in the vertical direction within the tank.

[0013] Preferably, the upper filter plate abuts against the partition corresponding to the lower filter plate.

[0014] Preferably, the herbal percolation tank for extracting effective components further includes a sealing cover, with an opening at the top of the tank body and the opening size being the same as the tank body size, and the sealing cover being movably fitted into the opening.

[0015] Preferably, the herbal percolation tank for extracting effective components further includes a sprayer, which is embedded in the sealing cover and the nozzle of the sprayer faces the inside of the tank.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom plate of the tank is funnel-shaped.

[0017] Preferably, a filter screen is also fixedly installed inside the tank. The filter screen is conical in shape and the tip of the screen is facing upwards and fastened to the liquid outlet of the tank.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model involves laying medicinal materials on a filter plate with partitions, dividing the medicinal materials into multiple small portions. After the extraction solvent is introduced, the medicinal materials can only accumulate in small portions within the grid of the partitions due to the obstruction of the partitions. The small accumulation volume allows the extraction solvent to more easily penetrate the medicinal materials in the center. At the same time, the small accumulation volume also makes it difficult for the medicinal materials to clump together, thus becoming more loose and achieving a more stable extraction effect.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features.

Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 6As shown, the herbal percolation tank for extracting effective components provided by this utility model includes a tank body 1, a filter plate 2, and a partition plate 3.

[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the leaching solvent is introduced into the tank 1; the filter plate 2 is horizontally assembled in the tank 1, and the outer wall of the filter plate 2 is attached to the inner wall of the tank 1, and the medicinal materials are laid on the filter plate 2; the partition 3 is fixedly arranged in a grid pattern on the upper surface of the filter plate 2, and the partition 3 evenly separates the medicinal materials.

[0033] In this embodiment, by laying medicinal materials on the filter plate 2 with partition 3, the medicinal materials are divided into multiple small portions. After the extraction solvent is introduced, the medicinal materials can only accumulate in small portions within the grid of the partition 3 due to the obstruction of the partition 3. The small accumulation volume allows the extraction solvent to more easily penetrate the part of the medicinal materials in the center. At the same time, the small accumulation volume also makes it difficult for the medicinal materials to clump together, thus becoming more loose and achieving a more stable extraction effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the filter plate 2 can also be composed of filter paper, and the structural strength is reinforced by the partition 3. The grid holes on the filter plate 2 in the figure mainly reflect the filtration function of the filter plate 2, and do not specifically refer to the presence of grid holes on the filter plate 2.

[0035] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the partition 3 penetrates the filter plate 2 and forms a grid-like protrusion on both the top and bottom of the filter plate 2. The protrusion on the bottom of the filter plate 2 helps the leaching solvent to drip better and avoids the leaching solvent from accumulating on the bottom surface of the filter plate 2, which would affect the leaching effect in some areas.

[0036] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the tank 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 21. The filter plate 2 is fixedly snapped into the inside of the tank 1 by the snap-fit ​​protrusion 21. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 21 is composed of snap blocks evenly distributed on the inner wall of the tank 1. The snap blocks are at the same horizontal height and simultaneously abut against the filter plate 2. The snap-fit ​​method can realize the rapid replacement of the filter plate 2, realize the rapid removal of dregs and filling of medicinal materials, and ultimately significantly improve the leaching efficiency of the percolation tank.

[0037] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 21 is an annular protrusion integrally formed on the inner wall of the tank body 1. The filter plate 2 is symmetrically provided with two cut edges, and the depth of the cut edges is not less than the height of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 21, providing a second snap-fit ​​connection method. Both can achieve multi-layer stacking of filter plates 2 while realizing quick snap-fit.

[0038] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the filter plates 2 are distributed in parallel in the vertical direction inside the tank 1. By increasing the number of filter plates 2 in the vertical direction, the excessive amount of herbs on a single filter plate 2 can be avoided from affecting the working effect of the partition 3, while ensuring the capacity of the tank 1 to extract herbs in a single soaking.

[0039] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the upper filter plate 2 abuts against the partition 3 corresponding to the lower filter plate 2. This is similar to the effect of the partition 3 penetrating the filter plate 2 and forming a grid-like protrusion on both the upper and lower surfaces of the filter plate 2 mentioned above. Both can effectively prevent the leaching solvent from accumulating on the bottom surface of the filter plate 2. At the same time, the positioning effect of the medicinal materials is better in this embodiment.

[0040] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the herbal percolation tank for extracting effective components also includes a sealing cover 11. The tank body 1 has an opening at the top, and the opening size is the same as that of the tank body 1. The sealing cover 11 is movably installed in the opening. By designing a sufficiently large opening on the tank body 1, the normal entry and exit of the filter plate 2 can be ensured. At the same time, the presence of the sealing cover 11 can ensure the airtightness of the tank body 1 and avoid problems such as contamination.

[0041] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the herbal percolation tank for extracting effective components also includes a sprayer 12. The sprayer 12 is embedded in the sealing cover 11, and the nozzle of the sprayer 12 faces the inside of the tank body 1. The extraction solvent sprayed by the sprayer 12 is more uniform, which is conducive to ensuring the extraction effect. By embedding the sprayer 12 in the sealing cover 11, the spraying position of the sprayer 12 is ensured to be good, while avoiding the sprayer 12 from affecting the flow of the filter plate 2 into and out of the tank body 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the bottom plate of the tank 1 is funnel-shaped, which avoids the leaching solvent remaining inside the tank 1 and also accelerates the removal of the leaching solvent.

[0043] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a filter screen 13 is also fixedly installed inside the tank body 1. The filter screen 13 is conical in shape, and the cone tip of the filter screen 13 is attached to the liquid outlet of the tank body 1 with the cone tip facing upward. By installing the filter screen 13, the purity of the leaching solvent discharged from the tank body 1 can be ensured. At the same time, the cone-shaped filter screen 13 with the cone tip facing upward can guide the medicine residue to the edge for accumulation, avoiding clogging of the filter screen 13.

[0044] Working process: After the leaching solvent is introduced into the tank 1, it comes into contact with the medicinal materials on the filter plate 2. The leaching solvent extracts the effective components in the medicinal materials by immersion. Then, the leaching solvent passes through the filter plate 2 and moves downwards, and finally exits the tank 1 to complete the extraction of effective components. During this process, the leaching solvent will impact the medicinal materials on the filter plate 2, forcing the medicinal materials to accumulate. However, because the partition plate 3 evenly separates the medicinal materials, the medicinal materials can only accumulate in a single grid on the partition plate 3. Due to the insufficient number of medicinal materials in a single grid, the overall volume of the medicinal materials after accumulation is still relatively small and remains in a relatively loose state.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
