Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of herbal medicine decoction pots, and in particular to a herbal medicine decoction pot. Background Technology
[0002] The use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating diseases and maintaining health is an important part of TCM, among which decoctions play a vital role in safeguarding people's health. The decoction method used to prepare TCM decoctions involves boiling medicinal herbs in water to extract their active ingredients and create an aqueous solution. This simple extraction method has been used since ancient times. Common methods of decoction include using an open flame or an electric stove.
[0003] In the process of boiling medicine using existing household cooking utensils, there is a risk of overflowing during the initial stage when the herbs float to the surface and during the later stage when the liquid becomes viscous. Overflowing and scorching at the bottom of the pot are common occurrences during the decoction process. Scorching at the bottom of the pot affects the efficacy of the medicine, alters its properties, and can even produce toxins. In addition, if the herbs are not soaked thoroughly during the soaking stage, it will affect the effectiveness of the medicine during the decoction process.
[0004] Therefore, overcoming the aforementioned common phenomena has become a technical problem that needs to be explored and solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome one of the defects and shortcomings of existing appliances, such as easy overflow, scorching, and insufficient soaking, and to provide a Chinese herbal medicine decoction pot.

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 14As shown in the exemplary embodiment of this application, the herbal decoction pot includes a pot body 1 with a handle 8 and a top cover 2 that fits with the top opening of the pot body 1. A gas-gathering device is arranged at the bottom of the pot body. The gas-gathering device includes at least three fan-shaped annular gas-gathering plates 6. The three fan-shaped annular gas-gathering plates are arranged around the central axis of the pot body and spliced to form a disc structure. The disc structure covers the bottom of the pot body. The side of the fan-shaped annular gas-gathering plate corresponding to the bottom of the pot is the lower surface. The lower surface has a downwardly protruding edge 15 along its outer circumference. The inner side of the lower surface enclosed by the edge is a gas-gathering inclined surface 16. A gas-guiding groove 17 is arranged on the gas-gathering inclined surface.
[0034] The herbal decoction pot described in this application has a gas-gathering device that covers the bottom of the pot with its disc structure, which can prevent the medicine (which is usually decocted in a medicine bag) from directly contacting the hot bottom of the pot and causing it to stick.
[0035] The herbal decoction pot in this embodiment has a downwardly protruding edge 15 along the outer periphery of the lower surface of its annular air-gathering plate 6. Inside the lower surface enclosed by this edge is an air-gathering inclined surface 16, on which air-guiding grooves 17 are arranged to guide and gather dense small air bubbles into larger air bubbles (such as…). Figure 14 The small, white or light-colored round bubbles (representing air bubbles) are discharged from the tip of the air guide groove 17. Large bubbles quickly rise to the liquid surface and burst, releasing air and greatly improving the situation where a large number of dense bubbles accumulate in the liquid, causing rapid expansion and overflow. For details on the anti-overflow principle, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 14 As shown.
[0036] In this embodiment, the gas-gathering inclined surface 16 gradually thins from the center outwards, forming an inclined structure. The gas-guiding groove 17 can be arranged radially and / or along an arc direction, and can be one or more, specifically not limited, and can be an arc-shaped cross-section groove or a cross-sectional shape groove.
[0037] In the embodiments of this application, a locking guide post 4 is arranged at the center of the inner bottom of the kettle body 1. The locking guide post cooperates with the outer locking nut 5. The locking nut 5 is cylindrical and has guide grooves on both the inner and outer sides. On the inner arc side of the fan-shaped air-gathering plate 6, a positioning rotating shaft 12 is arranged to control the up and down movement direction of the fan-shaped air-gathering plate. The positioning rotating shaft 12 cooperates with the bottom limiting structure 11 of the guide groove 9 on the outer side of the locking nut, so that the fan-shaped air-gathering plate 6 can only move up within a predetermined angle and will not swing left and right.
[0038] In the embodiments of this application, the locking guide post 4 is a T-shaped structure, and its bottom end is connected to the inner bottom of the pot body as one piece. Specifically, it can be made into a one-piece structure with the bottom of the pot.
[0039] In the embodiments of this application, the upper part of the locking guide post 4 is evenly spaced around its central axis with 60-degree arc locking pieces 18 and guide grooves. The guide grooves are located between the 60-degree arc locking pieces 18. There are three 60-degree arc locking pieces 18, which are evenly spaced. The 60-degree arc locking pieces 18 are used to cooperate with the lock nut for locking. In use, the lock nut is put on the locking guide post. After the bottom of the lock nut contacts the bottom of the pot, the lock nut is rotated so that the bottom of the 60-degree arc locking piece 18 is located at the upper end of the inner wall of the guide groove 9 on the outer side of the lock nut, thereby locking the lock nut and the locking guide post.
[0040] In the embodiments of this application, the guide groove 10 on the inner side of the lock nut 5 corresponds to the 60-degree arc locking piece on the locking guide post; after the guide groove 10 on the inner side of the lock nut and the 60-degree arc locking piece on the locking guide post are inserted and contact the inner bottom surface of the kettle body, the height of the guide groove 10 on the inner side of the lock nut is lower than the height of the 60-degree arc locking piece on the locking guide post. In this way, after the bottom of the lock nut contacts the bottom of the kettle, rotating the lock nut will cause the bottom of the 60-degree arc locking piece 18 to be located at the upper end of the inner wall corresponding to the guide groove 9 on the outer side of the lock nut, thereby locking the lock nut and the locking guide post.
[0041] In the embodiments of this application, the lock nut 5 has three guide grooves on its inner and outer sides. The lock nut is structured as three outer walls evenly spaced along the axis on the outer side and three inner walls on the inner side. Each of two adjacent outer walls is connected by an inner wall, and the upper end of the inner wall is lower than the upper end of the outer wall. Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown.
[0042] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the top cover 2 is connected to a self-locking threaded positioning guide post 13, which may be integrally manufactured with the top cover or bonded together. The self-locking threaded positioning guide post 13 coincides with the central axis of the pot body and is connected to the self-locking threaded through hole 14 in the center of the vertically adjustable soaking plate 3. The soaking plate 3 is spaced a predetermined distance from the top cover 2 so that the medicine can be pressed into the water for soaking after the top cover 2 is closed. The soaking plate 3 is mainly used to press the medicine into the water to ensure sufficient soaking during the soaking stage and reduce the risk of overflow caused by floating herbs in the early stage of decoction.
[0043] In the embodiments of this application, the surface of the pressure soaking tray is provided with a plurality of holes, which can be circular, square, triangular or other shapes, and their size can be set as needed.
[0044] In the embodiments of this application, the upper side of the pot body 1 has a medicine outlet, which may be multiple circular holes or a single circular hole. The outer side of the medicine outlet has a guide groove 7 to facilitate the pouring out of the medicine.
[0045] As can be seen from the above description, the herbal decoction pot of this utility model, by setting up a gas-gathering device, uses its disc structure to cover the inner bottom of the pot body, which can prevent the decoction medicine from directly contacting the hot bottom of the pot and causing sticking. The lower surface of its fan-shaped gas-gathering plate has a downward protruding edge along the outer circumference, and the inner side of the lower surface enclosed by the edge is a gas-gathering slope. A gas-guiding groove is arranged on the gas-gathering slope, which greatly improves the phenomenon of the liquid volume rapidly expanding and overflowing due to the accumulation of a large number of dense bubbles in the liquid.
[0046] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of this utility model.
[0047] Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended to encompass all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims within the present invention.
[0048] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
