Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically a continuous extraction device for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a treasure of the Chinese nation, plays an increasingly important role in modern healthcare. With the continuous expansion of the TCM industry and the ever-increasing demands for the quality and production efficiency of TCM preparations, the extraction processes of effective components from TCM face higher challenges. Traditional TCM extraction methods, such as decoction, maceration, and percolation, mostly employ batch processing, resulting in long production cycles, low extraction efficiency, high energy consumption, and large solvent consumption. For example, decoction requires multiple decoctions to extract as many effective components as possible, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easily destroys some heat-sensitive components during repeated heating. Maceration and percolation methods have long extraction times, making them difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional extraction processes struggle to achieve precise parameter control during extraction, and fluctuations in extraction conditions lead to unstable extraction rates of active ingredients, resulting in significant quality differences between batches and severely hindering the standardization and modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) products. With increasing public concern about the quality and safety of TCM, traditional extraction methods can no longer meet the modern TCM industry's requirements for product consistency, stability, and environmental friendliness.

[0004] In recent years, although some improved extraction technologies, such as ultrasound-assisted extraction and microwave-assisted extraction, have been applied, these technologies mainly focus on improving the extraction effect in a single extraction and still have limitations in achieving continuous and large-scale production. Ultrasonic and microwave equipment are expensive and difficult to promote on large-scale production lines, and their operation is mostly intermittent, which cannot fully leverage the advantages of continuous production in terms of efficiency and stability.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a continuous extraction device for traditional Chinese medicine. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background technology, a continuous extraction device for traditional Chinese medicine is proposed.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A continuous extraction device for traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a tank and a conical scraper; a sealed tank door is movably installed on one side of the tank, a bracket is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank surface, a feed inlet is fixedly installed at the top of the tank surface, a pushing component is provided on the inner wall of the tank, and an extraction component is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the tank; a driving component is provided on the side of the tank away from the sealed tank door, and a flipping component is provided on the inner wall of the tank; a collecting component is provided at the bottom of the tank; the pushing component includes a long pull rod and a push plate, two sets of the long pull rod are provided, and the two sets of long pull rods are slidably installed on both sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the tank; the push plate is movably installed on one side of the inner wall of the tank, and the side of the long pull rod closest to the push plate is fixedly installed with the push plate; the combined use of the long pull rod and the push plate can quickly scrape and clean the medicinal residue after extraction, facilitating secondary use by the user, improving production efficiency and reducing waste disposal costs.

[0008] Preferably, the extraction component includes a slot and a separation net. The slot is located at the bottom of the inner wall of the tank, and the separation net is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tank through the slot. In this design, the combined use of the slot and the separation net can extract the medicinal liquid from the medicinal materials, ensuring that the equipment can have normal extraction function.

[0009] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a motor and a drive shaft. The motor is fixedly installed on the side of the tank away from the sealed tank door, and the drive shaft is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the tank. One end of the drive shaft is fixedly installed to the output end of the motor. In this scheme, the cooperation between the motor and the drive shaft can drive the tumbling assembly to rotate, so that it has sufficient power to tumble the medicinal materials.

[0010] Preferably, the tumbling assembly includes fixed vertical rods and an arc-shaped scraper. Several sets of fixed vertical rods are arranged horizontally and fixedly installed on both sides of the drive shaft surface. The end of the fixed vertical rod away from the drive shaft is fixedly installed with the arc-shaped scraper. In this scheme, the cooperation between the fixed vertical rods and the arc-shaped scraper can continuously tumble the medicinal material through the drive of the drive shaft, so that the unextracted medicinal liquid in the medicinal material can be exposed, thereby making the extraction of medicinal liquid more refined. The medicinal material can be extracted multiple times through the continuous tumbling of the arc-shaped scraper.

[0011] Preferably, the collection component includes a collection funnel and a storage bin. The collection funnel is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank surface, and the bottom of the collection funnel is fixedly installed with the storage bin. In this solution, the combined use of the collection funnel and the storage bin can collect the medicine filtered by the separation screen, so that the user can take it out and use it.

[0012] Preferably, the arc-shaped scraper is fixedly installed with the conical scraper on the side near the tank body. In this design, the conical scraper can improve the scraping efficiency of the arc-shaped scraper through its sharp corner, preventing material leakage during scraping and thus preventing the material from clogging the separation screen.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The continuous extraction device for traditional Chinese medicine described in this utility model, through the arrangement of a long pull rod, a push plate, a groove, and a separation screen, enables the long pull rod and the push plate to quickly scrape and clean the residue of the medicinal materials after extraction, so that the user can reuse it, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing waste disposal costs. The groove and the separation screen work together to extract the medicinal liquid from the medicinal materials, ensuring that the equipment can have normal extraction function.

[0015] 2. The continuous extraction device for traditional Chinese medicine described in this utility model, through the arrangement of a motor and a drive shaft, enables the motor and drive shaft to work together to drive the tumbling component to rotate, thus providing sufficient power to tumble the medicinal materials.

The drive assembly 7 includes a motor 71 and a drive shaft 72. The motor 71 is fixedly installed on the side of the tank 1 away from the sealed tank door 2. The drive shaft 72 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the tank 1. One end of the drive shaft 72 is fixedly installed with the output end of the motor 71. The flipping assembly 8 includes a fixed vertical rod 81 and an arc-shaped scraper 82. Several sets of fixed vertical rods 81 are provided. Several sets of fixed vertical rods 81 are horizontally fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the drive shaft 72. The end of the fixed vertical rod 81 away from the drive shaft 72 is fixedly installed with the arc-shaped scraper 82. The collection assembly 9 includes a collection funnel 91 and a storage bin 92. The collection funnel 91 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the surface of the tank 1. The bottom of the collection funnel 91 is fixedly installed with the storage bin 92. The side of the arc-shaped scraper 82 near the tank 1 is fixedly installed with the conical scraper 100.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the long pull rod 51 and the push plate 52 work together to quickly scrape and clean the medicinal residue after extraction, allowing for reuse by the user, improving production efficiency and reducing waste disposal costs. The slot 61 and the separation screen 62 work together to extract the medicinal liquid from the herbs, ensuring the equipment has normal extraction function. The motor 71 and the drive shaft 72 work together to drive the tumbling assembly 8 to rotate, providing sufficient power to tumble the herbs. The fixed vertical rod 81 and the arc-shaped scraper 82 work together... Driven by the drive shaft 72, the medicinal materials can be continuously tumbled, exposing any unextracted medicinal liquid, thus allowing for more refined extraction. The continuous tumbling of the curved scraper 82 enables multiple extractions of the medicinal materials. The combined use of the collection funnel 91 and the storage bin 92 allows for the collection of the medicinal liquid filtered by the separation screen 62, making it convenient for users to take and use. The conical scraper 100 improves the scraping efficiency of the curved scraper 82 through its sharp corners, preventing material leakage during scraping and thus preventing the material from clogging the separation screen 62.

[0027] Working principle: During operation, the tank 1 is first placed on a flat surface. Then, the user pours the material into the tank 1 through the feed inlet 4. When the Chinese medicine enters the tank 1, the moisture in the medicine flows into the storage bin 92 through the collection funnel 91. Due to excessive accumulation of the medicine, the extraction of moisture from the medicine is insufficient. At this time, the user needs to start the motor 71 to drive the drive shaft 72 to rotate. When the drive shaft 72 rotates, it will drive the fixed vertical rod 81 and the arc-shaped scraper 82 to rotate. When the arc-shaped scraper 82 rotates, it will scrape the material on the inner wall of the separation screen 62 through the conical scraper 100. Then the material will flow out from the tail of the arc-shaped scraper 82. The medicine enters the interior of the tank 1. During this process, the medicinal residue will be continuously tumbled by the agitation of the arc-shaped scraper 82. At that time, some of the medicinal liquid hidden in the medicine will flow into the collection funnel 91 due to the tumbling of the medicine, so that the medicine can be extracted repeatedly until the water in the medicine is completely extracted. Then, the motor 71 is stopped and the two sets of fixed vertical rods 81 are kept in a vertical state. Then, the user opens the sealed tank door 2 and moves the push plate 52 by pulling the long pull rod 51. When the push plate 52 moves, it will scrape off the medicinal residue on the inner wall of the tank 1, so that the user can quickly clean the medicinal residue for the next use.
