A connecting buckle 13 for quick disassembly of the backing plate 12 is provided through the center of the outer side of the backing plate 12. The center of the surface of the installation frame 1 has a glass frame 23 for installing glass to observe the internal sedimentation progress.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 2In this embodiment, two sets of support blocks 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the mounting frame 1. Connecting rods 5 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two sets of support blocks 4, and support bases 6 are installed around the lower ends of the connecting rods 5. The symmetrical arrangement of the support blocks 4 ensures the overall balance and stability of the device, preventing swaying or tilting due to uneven force during operation. Furthermore, the connecting rods 5 firmly connect the support blocks 4 to the support bases 6, enhancing the structural strength of the device and enabling it to withstand greater weight and external impacts. In addition, the design of the support bases 6 surrounding the connecting rods 5 further expands the contact area, improving the device's anti-overturning ability and adapting to various working environments. The upper center of the mounting frame 1 is equipped with... The device has an inlet 2 for feeding Chinese herbal raw materials into the concentration unit. A heating coil 7 is installed in the center of the mounting frame 1, and an electric heating tube 22 is installed inside the heating coil 7. A heating module 20 electrically connected to the heating coil 7 is located in the center of the rear surface of the mounting frame 1, which facilitates the addition of Chinese herbal extract and ensures convenient operation and precise control of the feeding process. At the same time, the heating coil 7 installed in the center of the mounting frame 1 can efficiently heat the incoming liquid medicine, promote water evaporation and concentration of effective components. This design makes the heating process more concentrated and uniform, improves the concentration efficiency, and reduces energy loss by precisely controlling the heating area, ensuring the stability and reliability of the device operation.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 4 In this embodiment, a switch 21 is installed on the surface of the heating module 20, and a thermometer 3 is installed on the rear surface of the mounting frame 1 near the edge. A temperature rod 8 is provided at the center of the rear end of the thermometer 3, penetrating the mounting frame 1. The thermometer 3 is installed on the side of the heating coil 7 on the rear surface of the mounting frame 1, and the temperature rod 8, which is provided at the center of the rear end of the thermometer 3, can monitor the temperature change around the heating coil 7 in real time. This design ensures precise control of the heating process and avoids the concentration effect being affected by excessively high or low temperatures. The thermometer 3 provides intuitive temperature readings, which facilitates operators to adjust the heating parameters in a timely manner and ensure that the concentration process of the medicine is carried out within a suitable temperature range. A connecting pipe 17 is provided at the center of the side surface of the mounting frame 1, penetrating the support block 4 inside the mounting frame 1. A water pump 15 is installed at the front end of the connecting pipe 17 outside the mounting frame 1. This design realizes the automated extraction and output of the concentrated medicine. The water pump 15 extracts the concentrated medicine from inside the mounting frame 1 through the connecting pipe 17, ensuring that the medicine can be discharged from the device smoothly and efficiently. This structure not only simplifies the operation process of medicine collection, but also avoids pollution or errors that may be caused by manual intervention.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 - Figure 5In this embodiment, a discharge port 14 is installed at the front end of the water pump 15, and a fixing plate 16 connected to the connecting pipe 17 is installed inside the mounting frame 1. The discharge port 14 facilitates the smooth discharge of the concentrated medicine liquid from the device, ensuring that the medicine liquid output process is convenient and controllable. At the same time, the fixing plate 16 connected to the connecting pipe 17 inside the mounting frame 1 effectively enhances the stability of the connecting pipe 17, preventing the connecting pipe 17 from loosening or shifting due to vibration or pressure changes when the water pump 15 is working. The design of the fixing plate 16 also optimizes the internal spatial layout of the device, making the connecting pipe 17 firmly fixed in the designated position, ensuring... To ensure the smoothness of the medicine extraction and transmission process, a liquid extraction pipe 9 is vertically installed inside the mounting frame 1 on the lower surface of the fixed plate 16. This pipe is used to extract the concentrated Chinese medicine. The bottom end of the liquid extraction pipe 9 is covered with a filter membrane 18 to prevent sediment from entering the discharge port 14. The filter membrane 18 at the bottom end of the liquid extraction pipe 9 plays a crucial filtering role, effectively intercepting tiny particles, impurities, or incompletely precipitated substances in the medicine, ensuring that the output concentrated medicine is pure and uncontaminated. This design not only improves the quality of the final product but also protects the water pump 15 from damage by impurities and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0025] During operation, the installation frame 1 serves as the main structure supporting the entire device. The sedimentation chamber 10, which is fastened to its lower end, is used to collect and store the sediment generated during the concentration process. The fixing buckle 11 between the sedimentation chamber 10 and the installation frame 1 is threaded to ensure a tight fit and a stable sealing environment. When the liquid is concentrated in the device, the sediment gradually settles into the sedimentation chamber 10. After concentration, when the sedimentation chamber 10 needs to be cleaned, the operator can quickly remove the bottom plate 12 by rotating the connecting buckle 13, and the sediment in the sedimentation chamber 10 can be easily removed and cleaned. After cleaning, the bottom plate 12 is reinstalled at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber 10 and firmly fixed by the connecting buckle 13, ensuring that the sealing gasket restores its sealing effect. Finally, the fixing buckle 11 is used again to tightly connect the sedimentation chamber 10 to the installation frame 1, restoring the device to its initial working state and preparing for the next round of concentration operation.

[0026] Through the above steps, the introduction of heating coil 7 provides an efficient heating method, ensuring uniform and controllable heating process and significantly shortening the concentration time. In addition, the application of filter membrane 18 effectively removes tiny particles and impurities from the medicinal liquid, ensuring the purity of the concentrate and improving the quality of the final product. The components in the device adopt a detachable design, such as sedimentation tank 10 and backing plate 12, which greatly facilitates daily cleaning and maintenance and reduces the complexity of manual intervention. The use of sealing gaskets ensures the airtightness of the entire device during operation, eliminating the possibility of medicinal liquid leakage or external contamination. The design of water pump 15 and discharge port 14 simplifies the medicinal liquid extraction process, further improves the degree of automation, and reduces the difficulty of operation. Overall, this device not only improves the efficiency and effect of Chinese medicine concentration, but also provides users with a simpler operating experience, adapting to the needs of modern Chinese medicine production. It has solved the problem that in the traditional Chinese medicine concentration process, insoluble substances such as impurities or active ingredients in the medicinal liquid will gradually accumulate over time, and traditional concentration devices usually use a single heating method, which may lead to uneven heating or low efficiency, prolonging the concentration time.
