[0001] This application relates to the field of medicinal herb decoction equipment, and in particular to a medicinal herb slicing and decoction device. Background Technology
[0002] In the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine, slicing and decocting medicinal herbs is a common step. Traditionally, this involves manually placing the sliced herbs into a pot, adding an appropriate amount of water, and then decocting them using a stove or other heating equipment. This method has several drawbacks, such as:
[0003] During the decoction process, due to the lack of an effective stirring device, the sliced medicinal materials are prone to local overheating and insufficient heating in some areas, resulting in insufficient extraction of effective components and affecting the decoction effect.
[0004] Manual decoction relies mainly on experience to judge the decoction time. Different operators have different judgment standards, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the decoction time each time, thus affecting the quality stability of Chinese medicine.
[0005] After decoction, the liquid and dregs need to be separated manually, which is a cumbersome process. In addition, the dregs may mix into the liquid during the separation process, affecting the purity of the liquid. Therefore, a medicinal herb slicing and decoction device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A heating plate 12 is installed on the inner wall of the installation groove 11 for heating. The pot lid 2 is installed on the top of the decoction pot body 1, and the filter assembly 3 is installed inside the decoction pot body 1. A stirring mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the pot lid 2.
[0029] The stirring mechanism includes a stirring motor 21 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the middle of the top of the pot lid 2. A stirring shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the middle of the pot lid 2 via a bearing. Multiple stirring paddles 23 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 22 inside the cooking pot body 1. The end of the output shaft of the stirring motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the stirring shaft 22.
[0030] The filter assembly 3 includes a filter plate 31, a connecting rod 32 and a retaining ring 33. The filter plate 31 is located inside the cooking pot body 1 and below the multiple stirring paddles 23. The retaining ring 33 is located on the top surface of the cooking pot body 1 and is fixedly connected to the filter plate 31 by the multiple connecting rods 32.
[0031] The outer wall of the pot lid 2 is provided with a vent hole 24, and a vent valve 25 is installed above the vent hole 24 on the pot lid 2 to release the steam generated during the frying process.
[0032] A controller 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frying pot body 1. The stirring motor 21 and the heating plate 12 are both electrically connected to the controller 7.
[0033] The outer wall of the frying pot body 1 near the bottom inner cavity is provided with a discharge port 6, and a valve 61 is installed on the outer wall of the discharge port 6.
[0034] Two handles 26 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the pot lid 2. Holding handles 26, the pot lid 2 can be easily lifted. Two handles 34 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the edge outer wall of the retaining ring 33. Holding handles 34, the retaining ring 33 can be easily lifted.
[0035] Multiple positioning blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the frying pot body 1. Multiple positioning holes 4 are opened on the outer wall of the pot lid 2 and the positioning blocks 5 are matched and inserted into the positioning holes 4. The insertion of multiple positioning holes 4 and multiple positioning blocks 5 can position the pot lid 2 and prevent the pot lid 2 from shaking.
[0036] Multiple support legs 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the frying pot body 1, and the multiple support legs 8 are evenly distributed in a circular array at equal intervals.
[0037] The implementation principle of the herbal slicing and decoction device in this application embodiment is as follows: The lid 2 can be held by the handle 26 to open the top of the decoction pot 1. Herbal slices are placed into the decoction pot 1, separated from the lower layer by the filter plate 31. Then, an appropriate amount of water is added. The lid 2 is then closed, with multiple positioning holes 4 on the lid 2 engaging with positioning blocks 5 to achieve positioning and ensure the vent hole 24 remains unobstructed.
[0038] Setting parameters: The decoction time can be set using the built-in timer on the controller 7, for example, 30 minutes depending on the type of medicinal material and the decoction requirements. Simultaneously, the heating temperature of the heating plate 12 can be set, such as 100℃, based on the characteristics of the medicinal material.
[0039] Start decocting: Start the heating plate 12. Both the heating plate 12 and the stirring motor 21 are externally powered. The heating plate 12 begins to provide heat to the decoction pot 1. The stirring motor 21 drives the stirring shaft 22 and the stirring paddle 23 to stir the sliced herbs and water in the pot, so that the sliced herbs are heated evenly. The display screen on the controller 7 shows the remaining decoction time in real time.
[0040] Decoction complete: When the set decoction time is reached, the controller 7 automatically controls the heating plate 12 to stop heating and the stirring mechanism to stop stirring. At this time, the effective components in the herbal slices have been fully dissolved in the decoction, and the decoction is separated from the dregs by the filter plate 31 and collected in the lower layer of the decoction pot 1.
[0041] Collecting the medicinal liquid: Open valve 61 at the discharge port 6 to collect the pure medicinal liquid into the container, thus completing the decoction process of the sliced medicinal materials;
[0042] Finally, when cleaning the dregs, hold the lid 2 again by the handle 26 to open the top of the decoction pot 1, and then lift the retaining ring 33 upward by the handle 34. The multiple positioning holes 4 on the retaining ring 33 will disengage from the positioning block 5, and the retaining ring 33 will lift the filter plate 31 through the multiple connecting rods 32. The filter plate 31 will then carry the dregs up from inside the decoction pot 1. Move the filter plate 31 and the dregs out of the decoction pot 1 for cleaning.
