[0024] Referring to Figures 1-4, the device includes a decoction container 1 and a herbal granule carrier frame 6. The herbal granule carrier frame 6 has openings around its perimeter that are smaller than the prepared herbal granules. An observation glass 2 is installed on the inner wall of the front of the decoction container 1, allowing observation of the interior of the decoction container 1. A cover plate 7 is detachably connected to the top of the decoction container 1, which facilitates opening the cover plate 7 to clean the interior of the decoction container 1.
[0025] A rope-retracting roller 3 is installed on the upper surface of the cover plate 7. A hanging rope 4 is wound around the outer surface of the rope-retracting roller 3. One end of the hanging rope 4 passes through the cover plate 7 and extends to the bottom of the cover plate 7. The hanging rope 4 is slidably connected to the cover plate 7. One end of the hanging rope 4 is connected to two force ropes 5. One end of each force rope 5 is fixedly connected to the Chinese medicine granule carrier frame 6. The outer surface of the Chinese medicine granule carrier frame 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the decoction container 1. Rotating the rope-retracting roller 3 can retract the hanging rope 4, thereby pulling the force ropes 5 and the Chinese medicine granule carrier frame 6 upward, so that the Chinese medicine granules inside the Chinese medicine granule carrier frame 6 are separated from the decoction that has been boiled and has developed color. The dissolution of the Chinese medicine granules inside the Chinese medicine granule carrier frame 6 can then be observed.
[0026] A support plate 11 is provided above the medicine decoction container 1. Two support top plates 10 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the medicine decoction container 1. The top ends of the two support top plates 10 are fixedly connected to the support plate 11. By using the support top plates 10 and the support plate 11, the drive mechanism 8 and the retractable stirring device 9 can be supported, and interference with the rope winding roller 3 can be prevented.
[0027] A drive mechanism 8 is provided above the cover plate 7. The drive mechanism 8 includes a drive motor 801, two rotating rings 804 and two rotating rings 805. The drive motor 801 is installed on the bottom surface of the support plate 11. The output end of the drive motor 801 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 802. The upper surfaces of the two rotating rings 804 are fixedly connected to driven gears 803. The two driven gears 803 mesh with the drive gears 802. The outer surfaces of the two rotating rings 804 are rotatably connected to the support plate 11. The outer surfaces of the two rotating rings 805 are rotatably connected to the cover plate 7. When the drive motor 801 is started, it drives the drive gear 802 to rotate, which allows the two driven gears 803 to rotate simultaneously. In addition, when observing the dissolution of the Chinese medicine granules, the drive motor 801 must be turned off first.
[0028] Below the drive mechanism 8 are two retractable stirring devices 9. The retractable stirring device 9 includes a primary cylinder 901, a secondary cylinder 902, a tertiary cylinder 903, a quaternary cylinder 904, and a bottom rod 905. The outer surface of the primary cylinder 901 is fixedly connected to the first rotating ring 804 and the second rotating ring 805. The inner wall of the primary cylinder 901 is slidably connected to the secondary cylinder 902. The inner wall of the secondary cylinder 902 is slidably connected to the tertiary cylinder 903. The inner wall of the tertiary cylinder 903 is slidably connected to the quaternary cylinder 904. The inner wall of the quaternary cylinder 904 is slidably connected to the bottom rod 905.
[0029] The primary cylinder 901, secondary cylinder 902, tertiary cylinder 903, quaternary cylinder 904, and base rod 905 can form a multi-stage telescopic device. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the telescopic stirring device 9 being retracted by the herbal granule carrier frame 6. The secondary cylinder 902 can be retracted into the primary cylinder 901, the tertiary cylinder 903 can be retracted into the secondary cylinder 902, and so on. The secondary cylinder 902 cannot be completely detached from the primary cylinder 901, the tertiary cylinder 903 cannot be completely detached from the secondary cylinder 902, and so on. The main principle can be seen in Figure 5. The top of the secondary cylinder 902 is wider, and an inwardly protruding block is set at the bottom of the slot inside the primary cylinder 901, which can limit the secondary cylinder 902. The telescopic stirring device 9 can retract when observing the actual dissolution of the herbal granules inside the herbal granule carrier frame 6 to avoid interference.
[0030] Two stirring blades 906 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the three-stage cylinder 903, the four-stage cylinder 904, and the bottom rod 905. By using multiple stirring blades 906, the Chinese medicine granules can be stirred more thoroughly, which helps the Chinese medicine granules dissolve.
[0031] The left side wall of the medicine decoction container 1 is equipped with a medicine granule inlet 12, and the right side wall of the medicine decoction container 1 is equipped with a water inlet 13. By using the medicine granule inlet 12, medicine granules can be added to the inside of the medicine decoction container 1, and by using the water inlet 13, water can be added to the inside of the medicine decoction container 1.

[0033] A medicinal soup heater 16 is installed on the left side wall of the medicinal soup container 1. The medicinal soup inside the medicinal soup container 1 can be heated by using the medicinal soup heater 16. Its working principle is to use electrical energy to generate resistance heating through the heating wire, and transfer heat energy to water molecules. The temperature controller ensures that the water temperature is within a safe range, and the medicinal soup heater 16 is available on the market.
[0034] Working Principle: When preparing the medicinal broth for the hot spring pool, the prepared medicinal granules are placed into the granule inlet 12 by opening it. Water is supplied to the broth container 1 by connecting the water inlet 13 to the water supply pipe. The broth is heated and boiled by activating the broth heater 16. Activating the drive motor 801 rotates the drive gear 802, which in turn rotates the two driven gears 803, rotating ring 1 804, rotating ring 2 805, and the retractable stirring device 9, thus stirring the broth. After boiling for a period of time, the drive motor 801 is stopped, and the rope 4 is wound up using the rope reel roller 3. The force-bearing rope 5 then pulls the medicinal granule support frame 6 upwards, allowing the dissolution of the medicinal granules to be observed through the observation glass 2, facilitating timely monitoring by staff.
