[0002] A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) extraction machine is a device used for decocting TCM. Referring to the extrusion-type TCM extraction machine disclosed in patent number 112311328948.4, this is a small, home-use TCM extraction machine, and pharmacies and hospitals have reported a demand for this type of machine. However, in pharmacies and hospitals, patients typically purchase several courses of herbs at once, then decoct and package them all at once. The weight of herbs decocted at one time is often quite large. If such a machine were scaled up proportionally, the weight of the decoction pot after filling it with herbs and water would be enormous. Furthermore, the decoction pots in this type of machine are manually assembled and disassembled, making it difficult for operators to easily assemble and disassemble them. Additionally, due to the large workload in pharmacies and hospitals, multiple TCM extraction machines are usually required to operate simultaneously. In this situation, visual operation, allowing for quick identification of which extraction machine has completed its work, is crucial. Traditional TCM extraction machines require doctors to actively observe them, thus affecting work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A push-out type Chinese medicine extraction machine, comprising:

[0030] The traditional Chinese medicine main unit 10 has a medicine cavity 11 with a front opening. A push plate 20 is provided at the bottom of the medicine cavity 11. A fixed slide rail 12 is provided inside the medicine cavity 11. A movable slide rail 201 that cooperates with the fixed slide rail 12 is provided on the push plate 20. In this solution, the fixed slide rail 12 is preferably provided at the bottom of the medicine cavity 11, and the movable slide rail 201 is also provided at the bottom of the push plate 20. In other ways, the movable slide rail 201 can also be provided on the side of the push plate 20, and the fixed slide rail 12 can also be provided on both sides of the medicine cavity 11.

[0031] Medicine pot 30, the medicine pot 30 is mounted on the surface of the push plate 20;

[0032] A drive motor is provided between the push plate 20 and the Chinese medicine host 10. The drive motor is used to drive the push plate 20 to move toward the outside of the medicine cavity 11.

[0033] The heating element 31 is disposed in the medicine chamber 11 or on the push plate 20 for heating the medicine pot 30.

[0034] By setting a push plate 20 at the bottom of the medicine chamber 11, the push plate 20 and the medicine chamber 11 are slidably connected through a fixed slide rail 12 and a movable slide rail 201. Then, a drive motor is set between the medicine host 10 and the push plate 20. The drive motor pushes the push plate 20 outward from the medicine host 10, which facilitates loading or unloading of medicinal materials. There is no need to manually move the medicine pot 30, which reduces the pressure of manual labor. At the same time, by setting a program, when the medicine decoction is completed, the drive motor automatically drives the medicine pot 30 outward. Thus, as long as the pharmacist sees the medicine pot 30 in the outward state, he knows that the machine has completed the preparation of the medicine liquid and can proceed to the next step. For pharmacists, it is convenient and quick, thereby reducing the workload of pharmacists to actively observe.

[0035] In this solution, in order to further reduce the difficulty of manual operation, it is preferable that the main unit of Chinese medicine 10 is provided with a liquid inlet, which is connected to the top of the medicine pot 30 through a liquid inlet pipe.

[0036] To increase the concentration of active ingredients in the decocted medicine, it is preferable that the main unit 10 for decocting Chinese medicine is equipped with a lifting motor 40. The lifting motor 40 is equipped with a lifting rod located in the medicine chamber 11. The medicine chamber 11 is equipped with a pressing plate 41 connected to the lifting rod. When the medicine pot 30 is located in the medicine chamber 11, the pressing plate 41 is located above the medicine pot 30 and can move up and down in the medicine pot 30 under the action of the lifting motor 40. Through this structure, during the decoction of Chinese medicine, the pressing plate 41 continuously squeezes the medicinal materials placed in the medicine pot 30, thereby better extracting the active ingredients from the medicinal materials.

[0037] In this design, preferably, the medicine chamber 11 is provided with an end cap located above the medicine pot 30, and the main unit 10 of the Chinese medicine preparation is provided with a drive device for driving the end cap to rise and fall. The drive device and the aforementioned lifting motor 40 can be integrated into one unit, that is, the lifting motor 40 can drive the pressing plate 41 to rise and fall, and can also synchronously drive the end cap to rise and fall to close the medicine pot 30.

[0038] In this embodiment, the preferred drive motor is a rotary motor 13 fixed to the bottom of the medicine chamber 11. The output end of the rotary motor 13 is equipped with a drive gear 131. A rack 21 is provided along the front-rear direction at the bottom of the push plate 20. The drive gear 131 meshes with the rack 21. The rotary motor 13 drives the drive gear 131 to rotate, thereby causing the rack 21 to move, which in turn moves the push plate 20. In other embodiments, the drive motor can also be a linear motor located on the inner wall of the medicine chamber 11 and connected to the rear side of the push plate 20, thus allowing the push plate 20 to be directly retracted.

[0039] In this design, considering that the pusher plate 20 needs to be continuously pushed and propelled on the medicine chamber 11, and that the heater needs to be located at the bottom of the medicine pot 30 for better heating, it is preferable that the top of the pusher plate 20 is provided with an installation cavity 23 and a pressure-bearing surface 22 located on the outer periphery of the installation cavity 23. The medicine pot 30 is installed on the pressure-bearing surface 22, and the heater 31 is located in the installation cavity 23. The pressure-bearing surface 22 bears the weight of the medicine pot 30 and the pressure of the lifting motor 40 on the pressure plate 41, while the heater is located in the installation cavity 23, thus preventing the weight of the medicine pot 30 and the pressure of the lifting motor 40 on the pressure plate 41 from acting on the heater.

[0040] To further optimize the process and better secure the medicine pot 30, it is preferable to have an annular plate 24 on the outer periphery of the pressure-bearing surface 22, with the bottom of the medicine pot 30 inserted into the annular plate 24. More preferably, the medicine pot 30 is fixed to the pressure-bearing surface 22, and the heater 31 is installed at the bottom of the medicine pot 30, meaning the medicine pot 30 cannot be easily removed from the push plate 20, thus enabling a user-friendly operation.

[0041] In this design, a spring can also be provided inside the push plate 20, and the spring abuts against the bottom of the heater 31, so that the heater 31 is kept in contact with the bottom of the medicine pot 30 by the spring.

[0042] Further optimization is preferred, with a liquid outlet or packaging device provided on the main unit 10 of the traditional Chinese medicine, and a liquid guide pipe 32 provided on the medicine pot 30. A liquid pump is provided on the liquid guide pipe 32, and the liquid guide pipe 32 is connected to the liquid outlet or packaging device, so as to facilitate the direct pumping of the medicine liquid through the liquid outlet, or to package it through the packaging device for easy dispensing by patients. Based on this, the liquid guide pipe 32 is preferably located at the bottom of the medicine pot 30.

[0043] Based on the above structural features, this utility model provides a push-out type Chinese medicine extraction machine. During operation, the pharmacist packages the medicinal materials, then controls the drive motor to push the push plate 20 out. After the pharmacist loads the medicinal materials into the medicine pot 30, the medicine pot 30 is retracted into the medicine chamber and automatically covered with the end cap. Water is then automatically pumped into the medicine pot 30 through the inlet, and the heater is turned on to heat and decoct the medicinal materials. After decoction, the liquid is pumped out through the packaging device or the outlet. After the liquid is pumped out, the drive motor automatically pushes the medicine pot 30 out, notifying the pharmacist that the equipment has completed the decoction. The pharmacist then removes the medicinal materials and controls the medicine pot 30 to push back. At this time, water enters through the inlet to rinse the medicine pot 30. After rinsing, the waste liquid is discharged, and the medicine pot 30 is pushed out again by the drive motor. The pharmacist then puts new medicinal materials into the medicine pot 30 for the next decoction.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
