Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction equipment, specifically relating to a plant-based traditional Chinese medicine purification system. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a natural medicinal material, divided into three main categories: plant-based, animal-based, and mineral-based. To facilitate absorption by the human body, the active ingredients are typically extracted through steaming or boiling. Ginseng is abundant in the three northeastern provinces of China. Ginseng itself, along with its saponins and other extracts, possesses nourishing and strengthening properties, quenches thirst, and replenishes qi and blood. It is suitable for regulating blood pressure, restoring heart function, treating neurasthenia and general weakness, and also has expectorant, stomachic, diuretic, and stimulant effects. However, in traditional drug purification equipment, steam and volatile substances are directly discharged. The essential oils and hydrosols in these volatile substances, which could still be used in skincare and haircare products, are also directly discharged, failing to fully realize the economic value of ginseng.

[0061] Method of using a plant-based herbal medicine purification system

[0062] This plant-based Chinese medicine purification system is mainly for the concentration and extraction of ginseng-type Chinese medicine raw materials such as Northeast ginseng, red ginseng, or American ginseng. It can also be used for the concentration and extraction of other plant root and rhizome medicinal materials.

[0063] 1) Weigh an appropriate amount of red ginseng, put it into ultrasonic extraction tank 1, and add water 10 times the weight of the raw material. Vacuum pump 6 separately evacuates ultrasonic extraction tank 1.

[0064] 2) Turn on the extraction circulation pump 15 and the ultrasonic generator 17. After ultrasonic soaking for 1 hour, turn on the heating plate 16 to heat and boil for 3 hours; or the ultrasonic heating can be used alternately for 3 hours; the extraction circulation pump 15 pumps the liquid from the bottom of the ultrasonic extraction tank 1 and then sprays it into the top of the ultrasonic extraction tank 1; so that the ginseng Chinese herbal raw materials can be fully extracted into ginseng solution.

[0065] 3) After the ultrasonic heating extraction of ginseng-type Chinese medicinal materials is completed, the pressure is released, and the vacuum pump 6 separately evacuates the concentration extraction tank 3; the negative pressure of the concentration extraction tank 3 can siphon the ginseng solution in the ultrasonic extraction tank 1 into the concentration extraction tank 3; during the siphoning process of the concentration extraction tank 3, the filter tank 2 filters the residue in the ginseng solution;

[0066] 4) Turn on the heating tube 33 and the stirring motor 35. The stirring motor 35 drives the stirring rod 34 to rotate, and the stirring rod 34 stirs the ginseng solution. The heating tube 33 heats the ginseng solution again. The ginseng solution distillate is introduced into the horizontal sampling cooler 51. The horizontal sampling cooler 51 cools the ginseng distillate for the first time to obtain ginseng hydrosol. The ginseng hydrosol then enters the vertical sampling cooler 52. The vertical sampling cooler 52 precipitates and cools the ginseng hydrosol. Some oily substances will remain in the ginseng hydrosol. The oily substances in the ginseng hydrosol can be drawn out from the oil outlet pipe 525. The watery substances in the ginseng hydrosol are stored in the hydrosol storage tank 4.

[0067] The ultrasonic extraction tank 1 performs two to three concentration extractions. The ginseng and herb solutions collected from the three extractions are combined and filtered through the filter tank 2 and temporarily stored in the concentration extraction equipment. The stirring rod 34 in the concentration extraction tank 3 stirs the ginseng and herb solution, which is then concentrated into a paste-like liquid. The paste-like liquid is drawn out from the extraction tank outlet pipe 36 and then bottled and refrigerated. The storage tank outlet pipe 43 at the bottom of the hydrosol storage tank 4 can draw out the ginseng and herb hydrosol, which is then bottled and refrigerated.

[0068] The above steps can extract ginseng-based Chinese medicinal materials into paste-like medicinal liquids, aqueous hydrosols, and oily hydrosols. These paste-like medicinal liquids, aqueous hydrosols, and oily hydrosols can be further processed to meet different needs, thereby improving the utilization rate of ginseng solutions and increasing their economic value.
