[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a herbal extractor, including a body 1. The body 1 contains a main control board 2, a processing area 11, and an electrical control area 12. The processing area 11 has a processing chamber 3. The electrical control area 12 contains a stirring drive device 4 and a heating device 5, both electrically connected to the main control board 2. The heating device 5 is used to heat the materials in the processing chamber 3. The materials include herbal raw materials and liquids. A control panel 71 is provided on the body 1, electrically connected to the main control board 2, allowing the user to control the herbal extractor and achieve the desired herbal extraction process and effect. Users can adjust the working status of the heating device 5 and the stirring drive device 4 through the control panel 71 to meet their extraction needs, making it highly practical.
[0027] The processing chamber 3 contains a storage container 31 and a temperature sensing component 32. The storage container 31 contains a stirring element 33. The transmitting end of the temperature sensing component 32 passes through the processing chamber 3 and is electrically connected to the main control board 2. The probe end of the temperature sensing component 32 extends into the material in the storage container 31 to send the real-time temperature signal of the material to the main control board 2. The main control board 2 then adjusts the working state of the heating device 5 to ensure that the material in the processing chamber 3 is within the optimal working extraction temperature range, thereby improving the material extraction effect. The stirring drive device 4 is located on one side of the processing chamber 3 and is adapted to the stirring element 33. The main control board 2 can control the stirring drive device 4 to rotate the stirring element 33 in the storage container 31 and stir the material, thereby improving the contact effect between the herbal raw materials and the liquid in the material. Through the synergistic effect of temperature and stirring, the material extraction effect is further improved, unnecessary waste of herbal raw materials is avoided, and the drinking cost is reduced. Furthermore, the stirring drive device 4 has a simple structure.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the stirring drive device 4 includes a drive motor 41 and a magnetic drive assembly 42 disposed outside the processing chamber 3. The magnetic drive assembly 42 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the drive motor 41 and is magnetically connected to the stirring element 33. When the drive motor 41 operates, it drives the magnetic drive assembly 42 to rotate. Under the influence of magnetic force, the magnetic drive assembly 42 drives the stirring element 33 in the storage container 31 to rotate, thereby stirring the material in the storage container 31 through the rotating stirring element 33, improving the material extraction effect.
[0029] The magnetic drive assembly 42 includes a rotating component 43 and a magnet 44. The rotating component 43 has a central rotating hole connected to the shaft of the drive motor 41. The rotating component 43 has a mounting groove 431 in which the magnet 44 is installed. When the drive motor 41 rotates, the rotating component 43 on the shaft rotates synchronously, thereby driving the magnet 44 in the rotating component 43 to rotate. Then, based on the magnetic force, the magnet 44 drives the stirring component 33 to rotate, achieving material stirring and improving the material extraction effect.
[0030] In this embodiment, mounting grooves 431 are provided on both sides of the rotating component 43, and the rotating hole on the rotating component 43 is located between the mounting grooves 431 on both sides. The magnetic driving force on the stirring component 33 is increased by the magnets 44 in the mounting grooves 431 on both sides, ensuring the stable operation of the stirring component 33, thereby realizing magnetic stirring work and stably stirring the material.
[0031] To facilitate the installation and fixation of the stirring drive device 4, the magnetic drive assembly 42 includes a drive mounting bracket 45, which is installed at the bottom of the processing box 3. The drive mounting bracket 45 has a drive fixing seat 46. The drive fixing seat 46 has a drive groove 47, in which the rotating component 43 is placed. The magnet 44 in the rotating component 43 is close to the stirring component 33 at the bottom of the storage container 31, effectively ensuring the magnetic connection effect. The drive fixing seat 46 has a snap-fit fixing part 48 at one end near the drive motor 41. The snap-fit fixing part 48 extends out of the through hole 49 of the drive mounting bracket 45, and the drive motor 41 is installed in the snap-fit fixing part 48. The snap-fit fixing part 48 facilitates the disassembly and installation of the drive motor 41, improving the efficiency of disassembly and installation.
[0032] The shaft of the drive motor 41 passes through the through hole 49 and the shell wall of the drive fixing seat 46 in sequence, and connects to the rotating hole of the rotating component 43. The opening of the mounting groove 431 faces the bottom of the drive groove 47, forming a limiting space between them to limit the magnet 44, preventing the magnet 44 from separating from the rotating component 43 and ensuring stable operation of the magnetic stirring. When the drive motor 41 is activated, its shaft drives the rotating component 43 located in the drive groove 47 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring component 33 located at the bottom of the storage container 31 to rotate under magnetic action. This stirs the material, and with the combined effect of microwave and stirring, the stirring component 33 can generate forced convection, effectively breaking the problem of uneven heating of food caused by microwave standing wave effect, thus effectively ensuring uniform heating of the material and improving the material extraction effect.
[0033] In order to achieve heat treatment of the materials inside the processing chamber 3, such as Figure 4 As shown, a heating channel 34 made of metal is provided on one side of the processing box 3. One end of the heating channel 34 is connected to the inner cavity of the processing box 3, and the other end of the heating channel 34 is connected to the output end of the heating device 5, so that the heating device 5 can transfer energy through the heating channel 34 and act on the material, thereby realizing the heating treatment of the material.
[0034] Furthermore, the heating device 5 includes a magnetron 51 and a frequency converter 52. The frequency converter 52 is electrically connected to the main control board 2 and the magnetron 51, respectively. The microwave output terminal of the magnetron 51 is connected to the heating channel 34, which is made of metal. Microwaves are reflected into the processing chamber 3 through the heating channel 34. When the herbal machine is working, the main control board 2 can adjust the input power of the frequency converter 52, thereby adjusting the microwave emission power of the magnetron 51 to achieve different heat levels. The corresponding microwaves emitted by the magnetron 51 are transmitted to the material in the processing chamber 3 through the heating channel 34 to perform microwave heating treatment on the material. At the same time, the extraction temperature of the material is detected in real time by a temperature sensing component to ensure that the material is extracted within the optimal temperature range, ensuring excellent extraction results.
[0035] To improve the accuracy of temperature detection, such as Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 8As shown, the temperature sensing component 32 includes a sensing element 321 and a high-precision data processor (not shown in the figure). One end of the sensing element 321 has a connecting part 322, which passes through the processing housing 3 and is electrically connected to the corresponding connecting end of the high-precision data processor. The other end of the sensing element 321 has a probe part 323, which extends into the material in the storage container 31 to directly detect the temperature of the material and send the detected temperature signal to the high-precision data processor in real time. The high-precision data processor is electrically connected to the main control board 2 and is used to perform analog-to-digital conversion and data processing on the temperature signal to improve the accuracy of data acquisition and send high-precision temperature data to the main control board 2. The main control board 2 then adjusts the working power of the heating device 5 according to the temperature data to ensure that the material is extracted within the optimal temperature range, thereby improving the extraction effect.
[0036] Among them, the sensing component 321 located inside the processing box 3 has an anti-electromagnetic interference function. The circuit of the sensing component 321 is wrapped with a flexible electromagnetic shielding layer and the probe part 323 is wrapped with an alloy electromagnetic shielding layer, so that it will not interfere with microwaves and improve the accuracy and stability of temperature signal detection.
[0037] To facilitate the handling and storage of the herbal medicine machine. For example... Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the processing area 11 and the electrical control area 12 are arranged vertically and connected to each other. By setting the components in the machine body in the vertically distributed processing area 11 and electrical control area 12 respectively, the overall structure can be made compact and the horizontal space occupied can be reduced, which makes it easy to transport and store the herbal machine. In particular, it can be placed in some small kitchens or environments with limited space, and has a wide range of applications.
[0038] The left and right side panels and the rear side panel of the body 1 are all provided with heat dissipation areas 13. Each heat dissipation area 13 includes multiple heat dissipation holes 14, which enable heat exchange between the internal space and the external space of the body 1, thus achieving heat dissipation. The electrical control area 12 is also provided with a heat dissipation device 6, which includes two cooling fans 61. The heat dissipation device 6 is located on one side of the heating device 5. The two cooling fans 61 are respectively positioned opposite the magnetron 51 and the frequency converter 52 in the heating device 5, so as to provide targeted heat dissipation for the magnetron 51 and the frequency converter 52 and improve the heat dissipation effect. The two ends of the heat dissipation channel of the heat dissipation device 6 are respectively oriented towards the heat dissipation areas 13 on the left and right sides, thereby forming a rapid heat exchange channel with the outside, improving the heat dissipation effect of the electrical control area 12, and ensuring that the components in the electrical control area 12 operate safely within a safe temperature range.
[0039] The main control board 2 is mounted on the outer shell of the processing housing 3 and is located on the same side as the heat dissipation device 6. The main control board 2 is electrically connected to the heat dissipation device 6 to control the operation of the heat dissipation device 6. By placing the main control board 2 and the heat dissipation device 6 on the same side, the heat dissipation device 6 can quickly dissipate heat from the main control board 2, improving the heat dissipation effect of the main control board 2 and ensuring the safe operation of the main control board 2.
[0040] To further reduce the area occupied by the machine body 1 in horizontal space, such as Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the main body 1 has a control box 7 located below the door 15 to further reduce the horizontal space occupied by the main body 1, thus facilitating transportation and storage. It is particularly suitable for placement in small kitchens or environments with limited space, and has a wide range of applications. The control box 7 is equipped with a control panel 71, which includes control buttons 711, knobs 712, and a display screen 713, allowing users to operate and control the herbal machine and observe its working status.
[0041] A water-blocking component 16 is provided between the control box 7 and the door 15. The water-blocking component 16 protrudes from the surface of the machine body 1 and has a first outward guiding surface 161. This first guiding surface 161 guides the liquid that is spilled and flows down the outer shell of the machine body 1, allowing the liquid to flow outward and preventing it from flowing into the gap between the control box 7 and the outer shell of the machine body 1. The end of the control box 7 facing the water-blocking component 16 has a second outward guiding surface 72. This second guiding surface 72 guides the liquid that is directly or indirectly spilled onto it, allowing the liquid to flow outward and further preventing it from flowing into the gap between the control box 7 and the outer shell of the machine body 1. This facilitates cleaning, reduces the risk of bacterial accumulation, ensures the safety of the internal circuitry, and guarantees the stable operation of the herbal cleaner.
[0042] The water-proof component 16 is located near the connection between the upper part of the housing and the outer shell of the machine body 1. A small gap is left between the water-proof component 16 and the housing, so as to play a role in preventing water from flowing along the side wall of the outer shell of the machine body 1 into the gap at the connection.
[0043] Preferably, the water-proof component 16 is integrally formed with the outer shell of the body 1, which simplifies the structure and manufacturing process and reduces costs. In this embodiment, the water-proof component 16 can be formed by machining an outwardly protruding part on the outer shell.
[0044] In this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the water-blocking component 16 is located on the second guide surface 72. The cross-section of the first guide surface 161 is an inclined surface extending from top to bottom and from inside to outside. Water guided by the first guide surface 161 will fall onto the second guide surface 72, thereby guiding the liquid outward through the second guide surface 72. This ensures that the liquid stays away from the connection gap between the control box 7 and the outer shell of the body 1, preventing bacterial accumulation and ensuring the safety of the internal circuit environment of the control box 7. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the first guide surface 161 may also be an arc surface or other cross-sections with a guiding effect.
[0045] Preferably, the cross-section of the second guide surface 72 is an inclined surface extending from top to bottom and from inside to outside, so as to guide the liquid falling onto the second guide surface 72 outward, further preventing it from flowing into the gap between the control box 7 and the outer shell of the body 1, preventing bacterial accumulation, and ensuring the safety of the internal circuit environment. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the second guide surface 72 may also be an arc surface, or other cross-sections with a guiding effect.
[0046] To avoid situations where the weight of the materials to be processed is too high or too low, thus failing to meet the user's actual usage requirements, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the machine body 1 is equipped with a weighing device 8, which is electrically connected to the main control board 2. The weighing device 8 includes a weighing pan 81 and a weighing control panel 82. The weighing control panel 82 includes a weighing display screen 821, function buttons 822, and a weighing processor. The weighing processor is electrically connected to the weighing display screen 821, function buttons 822, and the weighing sensor in the weighing pan 81. The user can place the storage container 31 in the weighing pan 81 and tare and zero it. Then, the user can add herbal raw materials and water to the storage container 31 according to the actual dosage ratio. The weighing pan 81 weighs the placed storage container 31 and displays the material weight on the weighing display screen 821 for the user to check, ensuring that the weight of the processed material is accurate and meets the user's actual usage requirements. Finally, the storage container 31 is placed in the processing chamber 3 for heating and stirring extraction.
[0047] Secondly, users can control the heating device and stirring drive to operate in different states according to the material weight, thereby enabling extraction of materials of different weights, improving the extraction effect of different materials, and meeting the extraction needs of users with different material dosages, thus having a wide range of applications. Correspondingly, the main control board can also control the heating device and stirring drive to operate in different states according to the material weight data sent by the weighing device 8, so as to automatically extract different materials, improving the user's ease of use.
[0048] Preferably, the storage container is provided with graduation marks for measuring and marking the volume of liquid added, thereby facilitating users to achieve the required mixing ratio and improving the accuracy of material usage.
[0049] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
