Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically, it relates to a traditional Chinese medicine percolation tank. Background Technology
[0002] The percolation tank is an important piece of equipment in the extraction process of traditional Chinese medicine. Its working principle is to put the coarse powder of medicinal materials into the percolation tank, and then continuously add solvent from the top, so that the solvent slowly permeates through the layer of medicinal materials, dissolving the soluble components in the medicinal materials. Finally, the percolate containing the dissolved components is collected from the bottom.

The filter screen is installed in the working chamber through the disassembly and assembly component, and the cleaning component is installed in the working chamber. The cleaning component includes a cover, a snap-fit component, a drive component, a rotating shaft, a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, and a water spray component. The cover is installed at the top of the percolation tank body through the snap-fit component, the drive component is installed at the top of the cover, the cover is provided with a rotating hole, the top of the rotating shaft rotates through the rotating hole and connects to the output end of the drive component, the first connecting plate is installed on the rotating shaft, and the second connecting plate is installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft.
[0004] Research revealed that existing technologies require placing medicinal materials inside the percolation tank beforehand and directly injecting solvent. However, directly injecting solvent onto the surface of the medicinal materials can easily create vertical channels in the material layer, resulting in insufficient wetting in some areas. Furthermore, the filters in existing technologies lack self-regulating and clogging capabilities, causing high-starch medicinal materials to easily expand and clog the interior during use, thus requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning and affecting work efficiency.
[0005] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0029] A type of Chinese medicine percolation jar, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, including
[0030] A support 10 is provided, on which a percolation tank body 11 is fixedly mounted, and a tank cover 14 is snapped onto the percolation tank body 11.
[0031] The unclogging assembly is disassembled and installed inside the percolation tank body 11. The unclogging assembly includes a filter plate 16, a turbine blade 18, a vortex vane 20, and a scraper 29. The filter plate 16 is fixedly installed inside the percolation tank body 11. The turbine blade 18 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the filter plate 16. The scraper 29 is fixedly installed on the turbine blade 18. The vortex vane 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the turbine blade 18.
[0032] The liquid dispersing assembly is movably disposed at the bottom of the tank cover 14. The liquid dispersing assembly includes a support plate 17, a spiral toothed column 22 and a flow-dispersing pressure plate 24. The flow-dispersing pressure plate 24 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the spiral toothed column 22. The support plate 17 is snapped into the percolation tank body 11, and the spiral toothed column 22 moves through the support plate 17.
[0033] Specifically, by setting up a liquid dispersion component, the engagement between the helical toothed column 22 and the support plate 17 causes the helical toothed column 22 to drive the dispersion pressure plate 24 to rotate during the downward pressing process. The rotating dispersion pressure plate 24 receives the incoming solvent and disperses the solvent, thereby avoiding direct injection of the solvent when it enters, and thus preventing the vertical channel of the medicinal material layer from being filled with solvent, solving the problem of insufficient wetting in some areas. By setting up a blockage removal component, the permeate flows through the turbine blade 18, driving the turbine blade 18 to rotate. The rotating turbine blade 18 drives the scraper 29 and the vortex vane 20 to rotate. The scraper 29 continuously scrapes away impurities on the bottom surface of the filter plate 16 to prevent blockage and cleaning during shutdown. The vortex vane 18 carries the permeate and rotates centrifugally to further separate impurities in the permeate.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a discharge valve port 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the percolation tank body 11, a feed valve port 12 is fixedly installed on the curved side of the percolation tank body 11, a retaining edge 23 is fixedly installed on the inner wall surface of the percolation tank body 11, and a retaining head 26 is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the curved side of the support plate 17. The support plate 17 is engaged with the retaining edge 23 through the retaining head 26. Valves are provided on both the feed valve port 12 and the discharge valve port 13. The retaining edge 23 is a circular ring structure. The top surface of the retaining edge 23 is arrayed with square openings corresponding to the shape of the retaining head 26, and the retaining head 26 is engaged in the square openings.
[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a hydraulic rod 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the can lid 14, and a sleeve 28 is rotatably installed at the center of the can lid 14. A nail-shaped hole is opened at the bottom of the sleeve 28. The output end of the hydraulic rod 15 is connected to the top surface of the sleeve 28. A nail-shaped limiting post 21 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the helical gear 22. The limiting post 21 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 28, and the limiting post 21 rotates within the nail-shaped hole. Figure 4 As shown, a spiral toothed column 22 is fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the diffuser plate 24, and an annular spiral toothed groove 27 is provided in the center of the support plate 17. The spiral toothed column 22 meshes with the annular spiral toothed groove 27, and the spiral toothed column 22 passes through the annular spiral toothed groove 27.
[0036] The working principle is as follows: During use, the valve at the discharge port 13 needs to be closed to ensure that the interior of the percolation tank body 11 is a sealed cavity. Then, install the unblocking assembly, place the medicinal material on the surface of the filter plate 16, and then install the support plate 17. The clamps 26 on the four sides of the support plate 17 engage with the clamps 23. Rubber rings are provided on the edge of the flow diffuser plate 24, which adheres to the inner wall of the percolation tank body 11 through the rubber rings. It is worth noting that the diameter of the flow diffuser plate 24 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the clamp 23. Therefore, the flow diffuser plate 24 is positioned within the percolation tank body... The internal parts 11 can be disassembled. When in use, the hydraulic rod 15 is activated, and the hydraulic rod 15 pushes the sleeve 28 downward. The sleeve 28 pushes the limiting post 21 and the spiral toothed post 22 downward. At this time, the spiral toothed post 22 meshes in the annular spiral toothed groove 27 of the support plate 17. The meshing spiral toothed post 22 rotates. The rotating spiral toothed post 22 drives the diffuser plate 24 to rotate and press down below the feed valve port 12. At this time, the solvent added from the feed valve port 12 flows into the diffuser hole 25 through the top surface of the diffuser plate 24, and then flows to the surface of the medicinal material above the filter plate 16 through the diffuser holes distributed at different positions.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a vortex groove is provided on the top surface of the diffuser plate 24, and the diffuser plate 24 is disposed through the vortex groove. The curved surface of the diffuser plate 24 fits the inner wall of the percolation tank body 11, and the diffuser plate 24 is slidably disposed directly below the feed valve port 12.
[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a filter plate 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the percolation tank body 11. A guide head 19 is fixedly provided on the top surface of the scraper 29. Three scrapers 29 are fixed on the curved surface array of the guide head 19. The scrapers 29 are attached to the bottom surface of the filter plate 16. The guide head 19 is composed of a hemispherical block and a cylinder. The scrapers 29 are fixedly provided on the bottom curved surface of the cylinder. The cylinder is rotatably connected to the center of the filter plate 16.
[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the scraper 29 is located on the top surface of the sleeve head 28, the vortex blade 20 is located on the bottom surface of the turbine blade 18, and the diffuser plate 24 is located above the filter plate 16. The diffuser plate 24 has multiple liquid dispersing holes 25 arranged in a ring array inside.
[0040] The working principle is as follows: the rotating diffuser plate 24 causes the solvent entering through the feed valve port 12 to circulate within the vortex groove. The circulating solvent is evenly distributed within the vortex groove, and then flows into the surface of the medicinal material through the diffuser holes 25 at different positions. The solvent reacts with the medicinal material, and the permeate seeps down, flowing through the guide head 19 into the filter plate 16 for filtration. The filtered permeate flows through the turbine blades 18, passing over the blade surface of the turbine blades 18. With the help of fluid power, the turbine blades 18 are driven to rotate. The rotating turbine blades 18 synchronously drive the rotation of three scraper brushes 29 and vortex vanes 20. The shape of the vortex vanes 20 is similar to that of a vortex groove. The rotating vortex vanes 20 rely on their own blades to drive the centrifugal dispersion of the leachate. The centrifugal force evenly throws the leachate to the tank wall, forming a ring-shaped distribution flow. The rotating scraper brushes 29 continuously scrape the bottom surface of the filter plate 16 while the bristles continue to penetrate into the filter holes of the filter plate 16 to achieve the effect of clearing blockage. Finally, the valve of the discharge valve 13 is opened to discharge the leachate.
