Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing devices, and more specifically, to a traditional Chinese medicine decoction dispensing device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when people fall ill, they are generally treated with a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. When using traditional Chinese medicine, doctors will prescribe Chinese herbal medicines for patients to decoct. In some pharmacies, there is often a service that can decoct Chinese herbal medicines for patients.
[0003] However, currently, when decocting Chinese herbal medicines, the herbs are usually placed in a herbal medicine bag, and then the herbal medicine bag is placed in a decoction pot for decoction. When the decoction is finished and the herbal medicine bag needs to be picked up and thrown away, there is often a lot of liquid left in the herbal medicine bag. This not only wets the ground, but also wastes the remaining liquid in the herbal medicine bag.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a decoction dispenser for traditional Chinese medicine that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome at least one of the defects (deficiencies) of the prior art, this utility model provides a decoction dispenser for traditional Chinese medicine.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a decoction dispenser for traditional Chinese medicine, including a decoction tank, a tank lid, a filter screen and a liquid outlet, and also a dregs presser;
[0007] The lid is installed on the cooking vessel, the filter screen is installed in the middle of the cooking vessel, and the liquid outlet is installed at the bottom of the cooking vessel.
[0008] The dregs presser is retractably mounted on the bucket lid. When the dregs presser is pressed down, the bottom of the dregs presser presses against the filter screen.
[0009] The outer wall of the decoction pot is provided with hanging protrusions for hanging Chinese herbal medicine packets;
[0010] The decoction pot is equipped with a heating element to heat the liquid inside. Because the heating element is located at the bottom of the filter screen, it does not directly contact the herbal medicine packet. When the herbal medicine packet is being decocted, its components dissolve into the solution in the decoction pot. Currently, people simply pick up and throw away the herbal medicine packet after use. However, in practice, the herbal medicine packet still contains a considerable amount of liquid, resulting in waste and wetting the ground during removal. Therefore, after most of the liquid has been discharged from the outlet, when the liquid level is lower than the height of the filter screen, the residue presser can press out the remaining liquid from the herbal medicine packet, reducing waste and keeping the ground clean.
[0011] Furthermore, the bucket lid includes a first lid body, a second lid body, and a third lid body. The second lid body and the third lid body are respectively hinged and flipped on both sides of the first lid body. By dividing the bucket lid into the first lid body, the second lid body, and the third lid body, it is convenient to add and remove the Chinese herbal medicines.
[0012] Furthermore, the dregs presser includes a telescopic control cylinder, a telescopic rod, and a pressing block. The telescopic control cylinder is mounted on the first cover. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the telescopic control cylinder, and the other end is connected to the pressing block. When the dregs presser is pressed down, the bottom of the pressing block presses against the filter screen. Since the herbal medicine pack is boiled in water, after boiling, the pressing block can press out the water from the herbal medicine pack, preventing the liquid from dripping onto the ground when it is removed, thus keeping the ground clean.
[0013] Furthermore, the herbal medicine package is equipped with a connecting rope, and the hanging protrusions are respectively set on the outer wall of the decoction pot below the second and third covers. The herbal medicine package is connected to the hanging protrusions through the connecting rope, which facilitates the collection of the herbal medicine package.
[0014] Furthermore, both the second and third covers are equipped with flip handles, which facilitate the addition of herbal medicine packets after opening the second or third cover.
[0015] Furthermore, the edges of the second cover, the third cover, and the cooking pot are all provided with locking openings;
[0016] The cooking pot has a rotating strip mounting base on its wall, a rotating shaft on the rotating strip mounting base, and a rotating stud on the rotating shaft. The top of the stud has a rotating locking block. When it is necessary to lock the second and third covers in the cooking pot, the stud flips and locks into the locking opening, and the rotating locking block presses against the locking opening. Since the second and third covers are provided with locking openings on the edges of the cooking pot and the rotating strip mounting base on the wall of the cooking pot, when it is necessary to lock the second and third covers, it is only necessary to flip the stud to lock the second and third covers onto the cooking pot, which is simple and convenient.
[0017] Furthermore, the outlet is equipped with an outlet control switch, which allows for easy and convenient control of the liquid discharge.
[0018] Furthermore, the boiling pot is equipped with a control panel, which is connected to the dregs presser and the heating element respectively. The working status of the dregs presser and the heating element can be controlled through the control panel.
[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the cooking pot is equipped with a movable base, and the bottom of the movable base is equipped with casters. The movable base and casters facilitate the movement of the cooking pot.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are:
[0021] This utility model discloses a traditional Chinese medicine decoction dispenser. Through the installation of a heating element, the liquid in the decoction tank can be heated. Because the heating element is located at the bottom of the filter screen, it does not directly contact the herbal medicine packet. When the herbal medicine packet is being decocted, its components dissolve into the solution in the decoction tank. Currently, people simply pick up and throw away the herbal medicine packet after use. However, in practical applications, a considerable amount of liquid remains in the herbal medicine packet, causing waste and wetting the ground during removal. Therefore, after most of the liquid has been discharged from the outlet, when the liquid level is lower than the height of the filter screen, the residue presser can press out the remaining liquid from the herbal medicine packet, reducing waste and keeping the ground clean.

The working status of the dregs presser and the heating element can be controlled through the control panel. A movable base 25 is provided at the bottom of the boiling pot, and the bottom of the movable base is provided with casters 6. The movable base and casters facilitate the movement of the boiling pot.
[0034] Example
[0035] In this embodiment, the heating element heats the liquid in the decoction pot. Because the heating element is located at the bottom of the filter screen, it does not directly contact the herbal medicine packet. When the herbal medicine packet is being decocted, its components dissolve into the solution in the decoction pot. Currently, people simply pick up and throw away the herbal medicine packet after use. However, in practice, the herbal medicine packet still contains a considerable amount of liquid, resulting in waste and wetting the ground during removal. Therefore, after most of the liquid has been discharged from the outlet, when the liquid level is lower than the height of the filter screen, the residue presser can press out the residual liquid in the herbal medicine packet, reducing waste and keeping the ground clean. Since the herbal medicine packet is decocted in water, the pressing block can press out the water from the herbal medicine packet after decoction, preventing the liquid from dripping onto the ground during removal and keeping the ground clean.
