Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology, specifically relating to an automated control device for precise temperature regulation in traditional Chinese medicine extraction. Background Technology

[0002] Decoction of traditional Chinese medicine (also known as herbal decoction) is essentially a process of extracting medicinal materials. By boiling medicinal materials (such as herbs, roots, and fruits) in water for a certain period, the active ingredients dissolve into the water, forming a medicinal liquid. This process utilizes water as a solvent and heating to release medicinal substances (such as alkaloids, glycosides, polysaccharides, and volatile oils) from the herbs, thereby achieving the goal of extracting the active ingredients.

[0003] Several traditional Chinese medicine extraction devices exist in the prior art, such as a traditional Chinese medicine extraction device with patent number 202222074050.7, which includes: an extraction mechanism; and a transmission mechanism, which is disposed inside the extraction mechanism. The extraction mechanism includes a tank body with an opening at the top of the tank body and a semi-circular structure. A lid is provided at the opening. A stainless steel basket is provided inside the tank body. The stainless steel basket has a barrel-shaped structure, and its bottom and side walls have a mesh structure for placing medicinal materials. The medicinal materials are separated from the liquid, so that the extract does not contain a large amount of medicinal residue after extraction. The side wall of the stainless steel basket is provided with a locking block, which is engaged with the transmission mechanism.

[0004] Although the aforementioned Chinese herbal medicine extraction device can separate the residue and extract, in actual use, the mixed residue is hygroscopic, meaning it contains a large amount of extract. Existing extraction devices cannot separate the extract from the residue, leading to waste. Furthermore, the extraction temperature significantly affects the medicinal properties of the extract, and this device lacks components to control the extraction temperature, resulting in poor extraction efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated control device for precise temperature regulation of traditional Chinese medicine extraction, which can separate the extract and the residue, thereby improving the collection effect of the extract and precisely controlling the temperature during the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine to improve the extraction effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automated control device for precise temperature regulation of traditional Chinese medicine extraction includes a mounting frame. A tank is housed inside the mounting frame, with its side slidably connected to the mounting frame. A mounting rod is located in the middle of the tank, and several vertically distributed filter plates are mounted on the mounting rod, slidably connected to it. Springs are positioned between adjacent filter plates and sleeved on the mounting rod. A telescopic rod is located above the mounting frame, with its output end abutting against the uppermost filter plate. The telescopic rod is fixed to the mounting frame. An end cap is detachably connected to the tank at its upper end, and several temperature measuring rods are mounted on the end cap, with one end of each rod located inside the tank. Several heating blocks are located on the outer surface of the tank, and the temperature measuring rods are electrically connected to the heating blocks.

[0008] Furthermore, a slider is provided on the outer surface of the tank body, the slider is slidably connected to the mounting frame, the upper end of the mounting frame is provided with a winch, and the pull rope of the winch is fixed to the slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper end of the mounting frame is provided with a rotary motor, the output end of the rotary motor is fixed to the mounting rod, the mounting rod is provided with a limiting strip, and each of the filter plates is provided with a limiting groove, with the limiting strip located in the limiting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a bellows is sleeved on the outer side of the spring, and the two ends of the bellows are respectively fixed to the adjacent filter plates.

[0011] Furthermore, the filter plate is provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed filter holes.

[0012] Furthermore, a drain pipe is provided at the lower end of the tank.

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

[0014] In this technical solution, the extension rod can be used to squeeze the filter plate, so that several filter plates squeeze the Chinese medicine residue against each other, thereby discharging the extract in the residue, and at the same time filtering the extract and residue.

[0015] In this application, the temperature of the solution inside the tank can be accurately measured by a temperature measuring rod, and the heating temperature of the heating block can be precisely controlled according to the temperature value, so that the Chinese medicine can be in the optimal extraction temperature and the extraction effect can be improved.

[0016] Meanwhile, in this application, the Chinese medicine is placed between adjacent filter plates, which ensures that the Chinese medicine is always in the water, avoiding the problem that lighter Chinese medicines such as herbs float and accumulate on the upper part of the liquid surface, resulting in poor extraction effect.

[0017] Other advantages, objectives, and features of this invention will be set forth in the following description and will be apparent to those skilled in the art to some extent, or may be learned by practice of this invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figures 1-3As shown, an automated control device for precise temperature regulation of traditional Chinese medicine extraction includes a mounting frame 2. An anchor plate 1 is located at the lower part of the mounting frame 2 and is connected to the ground via anchor bolts. The mounting frame 2 is composed of evenly distributed "7"-shaped plates. A tank 4 is located inside the mounting frame 2. A drain pipe 18 is located at the lower end of the tank 4. The side of the tank 4 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 2. A mounting rod 8 is located in the middle of the tank 4. Several vertically distributed filter plates 10 are mounted on the mounting rod 8. The lowest filter plate 10 is fixed to the mounting rod 8 and slidably connected to it. A spring 13 is located between adjacent filter plates 10 and is sleeved on the mounting rod 8. A telescopic rod 1 is located above the mounting frame 2. 5. The output end of the telescopic rod 15 abuts against the uppermost filter plate 10. The telescopic rod 15 is fixed to the mounting bracket 2. The upper end of the tank body 4 is provided with an end cover 9, which is detachably connected to the tank body 4. Several temperature measuring rods 17 are provided on the end cover 9. The temperature measuring rods 17 can be understood as temperature sensors in the prior art. The temperature measuring rods 17 are fixed to the end cover 9, and one end of the temperature measuring rods 17 is located inside the tank body 4. Several heating blocks 16 are provided on the outer surface of the tank body 4. The heating blocks 16 can be understood as electric heating components, which is the prior art. The temperature measuring rods 17 and the heating blocks 16 are electrically connected. The method of electrical connection is the prior art, that is, the working temperature of the heating blocks 16 is controlled by the temperature monitored by the temperature measuring rods 17. This will not be elaborated further here.

[0025] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0026] First, lower the tank 4 to the bottom of the mounting frame 2. Then, evenly place the Chinese herbal raw materials (blocks and leaves) between several adjacent filter plates 10. Place the filter plates 10 inside the tank 4. Then, raise the tank 4 to the top of the mounting frame 2 so that the output end of the telescopic rod 15 contacts the filter plate 10. Then, control the heating block 16 to heat the mixture of Chinese herbal medicine and water inside to extract the medicinal components of the Chinese herbal medicine. After extraction, open the drain pipe 18 to drain the liquid. After draining, the telescopic rod 15 extends and squeezes the filter plates 10, causing the filter plates 10 to squeeze the Chinese herbal medicine residue between each other, thereby discharging the extract from the residue. After squeezing, simply lower the tank 4 and remove the internal filter plates 10 and other components. This method can squeeze and discharge the Chinese herbal medicine extract from the residue, and at the same time, it can filter both the extract and the residue.

[0027] In one feasible embodiment, a slider 3 is provided on the outer surface of the tank body 4. The slider 3 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 2. A winch 5 is provided at the upper end of the mounting frame 2, and the pull rope 6 of the winch 5 is fixed to the slider 3. By controlling the pull rope 6 through the winch 5, the tank body 4 is moved.

[0028] In one feasible embodiment, the upper end of the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a rotary motor 7, the output end of the rotary motor 7 is fixed to the mounting rod 8, the mounting rod 8 is provided with a limiting strip 12, and the filter plate 10 is provided with a limiting groove. The limiting strip 12 is located in the limiting groove. In this embodiment, the middle part of the end cap 9 is sleeved on the mounting rod 8.

[0029] In other words, this method allows the filter plate 10 to rotate via the rotary motor 7, thereby mixing the internal medicinal residue during heating and extraction, improving the uniformity of heating and thus enhancing the extraction efficiency of the traditional Chinese medicine. Furthermore, in this method, the filter plate 10 and other components are fixed to the output end of the rotary motor 7, eliminating the need for the tank 4 to move, thus facilitating the addition of traditional Chinese medicine and the extraction of extract from the residue. The limiting strip 12 and the limiting groove restrict the rotation of the filter plate 10 and allow it to slide on the mounting rod 8.

[0030] In one feasible embodiment, a bellows 14 is sleeved on the outside of the spring 13, and the two ends of the bellows 14 are respectively fixed on the adjacent filter plates 10. The bellows 14 can prevent the residue from entering the spring 13, which would interfere with the compressive deformation of the spring 13 and affect the compressive movement between the adjacent filter plates 10.

[0031] In one feasible embodiment, the filter plate 10 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed filter holes 11 to filter the dregs and extract.

[0032] It is easy to understand that the extraction device should also include other components such as a steam exhaust pipe, which can be referred to in existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
