[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4An embodiment of this utility model provides a traditional Chinese medicine distillation extraction device, including a base plate 1, a heating box 2 fixedly installed on one side above the base plate 1, a distillation box 3 fixedly installed above the heating box 2, a distillation cylinder 13 arranged inside the distillation box 3, the distillation cylinder 13 including a column 1301, a mesh cylinder 1302 and a round tube 1303, the column 1301 and the round tube 1303 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the mesh cylinder 1302, the column 1301 is rotatably connected to the distillation box 3, one end of the round tube 1303 extends to the outside of the distillation box 3, a motor 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the distillation box 3, and the output end of the motor 26 is fixedly connected to the column 1301.
[0024] During the distillation extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, the medicine is added into the mesh cylinder 1302 of the distillation cylinder 13. The distillation cylinder 13 is driven to rotate by the motor 26. The distillation cylinder 13 can rotate continuously, so that the medicine that was originally piled up is constantly turned over in the distillation cylinder 13. This avoids the medicine being in a fixed position for a long time. All parts of the medicine can come into uniform contact with water vapor and fully absorb heat. This greatly reduces the difference in the degree of heating of different parts, avoids the occurrence of local overheating, improves the quality of traditional Chinese medicine distillation extraction, and increases its practicality.
[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 Inside the distillation tank 3, a guide block 18 is fixedly installed along the outside of the distillation cylinder 13. A cylinder hole 1802 is provided in the middle of the inside of the guide block 18. The diameter of the cylinder hole 1802 matches the diameter of the distillation cylinder 13. An upper groove hole 1801 is provided above the cylinder hole 1802 inside the guide block 18. A lower groove hole 1803 is provided below the cylinder hole 1802 inside the guide block 18. The length and width dimensions of the guide block 18 match the length and width dimensions inside the distillation tank 3, so that when the steam flows upward, it will pass through the lower groove hole 1803. When distilling Chinese medicine, at least half the volume of Chinese medicine needs to be put into the mesh cylinder 1302 so that when the Chinese medicine is turned over, the Chinese medicine can stably cover the lower groove hole 1803, allowing the steam to stably pass through the inside of the Chinese medicine.
[0026] The upper slot hole 1801 and lower slot hole 1803 of the diversion block 18 optimize the steam flow path, ensure that the steam stably penetrates the medicinal material layer, and improve the distillation efficiency. The tight fit between the cylinder hole 1802 and the distillation cylinder 13 prevents steam leakage and allows for concentrated utilization of heat energy.
[0027] Please see Figure 2A round cover 14 is provided on one side of the distillation cylinder 13. A threaded post 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the round cover 14. The threaded post 15 is located inside the round tube 1303 and is threadedly connected to the round tube 1303. A connecting post 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the threaded post 15. A baffle 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting post 16. The baffle 17 is designed to block the Chinese medicine and prevent it from entering the round tube 1303 during the distillation process, which is conducive to the stable distillation of the Chinese medicine.
[0028] By setting a round cap 14 with a threaded post 15, it is not only convenient to seal the distillation cylinder 13, which facilitates the distillation of Chinese medicine, but also convenient to put in and take out the Chinese medicine, thus increasing its practicality.
[0029] Please see Figure 2 A bottom box 19 is provided at the bottom of the interior of the distillation tank 3. A pad 21 is symmetrically provided on both sides of the bottom box 19. The pad 21 is fixedly connected to the distillation tank 3. A filter cloth 20 is fixedly installed inside the bottom box 19. A sealing plate 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the distillation tank 3 along one side of the bottom box 19.
[0030] The bottom box 19 and the filter cloth 20 can collect the debris that falls during the distillation of Chinese medicine, preventing the debris from falling into the water. The bottom box 19 can be easily removed for cleaning through the sealing plate 12.
[0031] Please see Figure 2 The heating chamber 2 has a heating cavity inside, and an electric heating tube 27 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the heating cavity. The front end of the heating chamber 2 is rotatably installed with a cover 11.
[0032] The electric heating element 27 facilitates heating of the water in the heating chamber, generating steam for distillation and extraction. The lid 11 facilitates the addition of water to the heating chamber.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4A condenser box 5 is provided on one side of the distillation tank 3. A steam pipe 4 is fixedly installed above the distillation tank 3. One end of the steam pipe 4 extends into the interior of the condenser box 5 and is fixedly installed with a distributor head 22. A drain pipe 6 is fixedly installed below the distributor head 22 and extends to the bottom of the condenser box 5. Multiple condenser pipes 23 are fixedly installed above the distributor head 22. The condenser pipes 23 are made of die-cast aluminum alloy to improve heat exchange efficiency. A collection head 24 is fixedly installed above the condenser pipes 23. A dehumidifier 25 is fixedly installed above the collection head 24. An exhaust pipe 7 is fixedly installed above the condenser box 5. The lower end of the exhaust pipe 7 extends into the interior of the condenser box 5 and is fixedly connected to the dehumidifier 25. A water inlet pipe 8 is fixedly installed above one side of the condenser box 5. A water outlet pipe 9 is fixedly installed below one side of the condenser box 5. The water inlet pipe 8 and the water outlet pipe 9 are connected to a cooling water circulation device. A support leg 10 is fixedly installed below the condenser box 5, and the lower end of the support leg 10 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1.
[0034] The condenser tube 23, made of die-cast aluminum alloy, greatly improves heat exchange efficiency, enabling faster condensation of steam into liquid and enhancing condensation speed and effect. The design of the distributor 22 and the collector 24 ensures more uniform and orderly flow of steam and condensate, guaranteeing the stability of the condensation process. The dehumidifier 25 removes residual moisture from the condensed gas. The inlet pipe 8 and outlet pipe 9 are connected to an external cooling water circulation system, which continuously provides cooling water for the condensation process, ensuring the stability of condensation.
[0035] Working principle: When in use, remove the round cover 14, add a certain amount of chopped Chinese medicine into the mesh tube 1302 of the distillation cylinder 13, and then install the round cover 14. Open the cover 11 at the front end of the heating box 2 to add water into the heating chamber. The water in the heating chamber is heated by the electric heating tube 27 to generate steam. The steam flows upward and flows into the lower slot hole 1803 inside the guide block 18. Then the steam passes steadily through the Chinese medicine inside the mesh tube 1302. At the same time, the motor 26 drives the distillation cylinder 13 to rotate, so that the originally piled-up Chinese medicine is slowly turned over in the distillation cylinder 13, avoiding the Chinese medicine being in a fixed position for a long time and reducing the difference in the degree of heating of different parts. The steam containing the extract distilled enters the condenser 5 through the steam pipe 4. After being divided by the diverter head 22, it enters different condenser tubes 23. Cooling water is continuously input into the condenser 5 through the water inlet pipe 8, so that the steam is quickly condensed into liquid. The condensed Chinese medicine extract liquid flows downward and is output through the drain pipe 6, thus realizing the stable distillation extraction of Chinese medicine and increasing its practicality.
