Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of decoction equipment, specifically relating to an intelligent integrated decoction system. Background Technology
[0002] A decoction machine is a device that can quickly decoct Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine decoction is one of the traditional dosage forms of Chinese medicine. The quality of the decoction directly affects the clinical efficacy. The material basis for the efficacy of the decoction is mainly the effective components extracted from it. Therefore, in order to maximize the clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine decoction, it is necessary to extract the effective components to the greatest extent possible.
[0003] Currently, most decoction machines on the market use mechanical equipment to drive a stirring rod to stir the medicinal liquid inside the machine. Since the stirring rod is generally equipped with multiple stirring blades, the connection between the stirring blades and the stirring rod can easily create dead corners for cleaning. This makes it difficult to clean the liquid after it has been decocted, resulting in inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple and rationally designed intelligent integrated decoction system to solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] An intelligent integrated decoction system includes an outer shell. An electrically heated decoction cylinder, with its top protruding beyond the top wall of the outer shell, is fixedly installed at one end of the outer shell. A drain pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the electrically heated decoction cylinder. A circulation pipe is installed on one side of the drain pipe. The end of the circulation pipe away from the drain pipe obliquely penetrates the side wall of the electrically heated decoction cylinder and communicates with its inner cavity. A drain solenoid valve is installed on the drain pipe below the circulation pipe. A circulation pump is installed in the middle section of the circulation pipe. A flushing pipe is installed at the end of the circulation pipe near the outer wall of the electrically heated decoction cylinder via a T-joint. The end of the tube away from the three-way connector extends downward from above the top of the electric heating decoction cylinder into the electric heating decoction cylinder. A flushing solenoid valve is installed on the circulation pipe on the side of the three-way connector near the electric heating decoction cylinder. The end of the flushing tube inside the electric heating decoction cylinder is rotatably connected to a nozzle via a rotary joint. Multiple nozzles are provided on the side wall and bottom wall of the nozzle. An impeller is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the nozzle. A programmable logic controller (PLC) is installed on the top wall of the outer casing away from the electric heating decoction cylinder. The sewage discharge solenoid valve, the circulation pump, and the flushing solenoid valve are all electrically connected to the PLC.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the top end of the drain pipe penetrates the bottom wall of the electric heating decoction cylinder and communicates with the inner cavity of the electric heating decoction cylinder. The bottom end of the drain pipe bends outward and penetrates the end side wall of the outer shell and extends to the outside of the outer shell.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the top opening of the electric heating decoction tube is provided with a tube cover, and multiple buckles are arranged in a ring on the outer wall of the top of the electric heating decoction tube. The buckles are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the electric heating decoction tube, and the tube cover is fixed to the electric heating decoction tube by the buckles. The end of the flushing pipe away from the three-way connector is fixed to the tube cover.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, an exhaust pipe with its bottom end communicating with the inner cavity of the electric heating decoction cylinder is fixedly inserted through the cylinder cover. A pressure relief valve is installed at the top of the exhaust pipe, and a breathing valve is installed on the middle section of the exhaust pipe.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the diameter of the nozzle opening on the bottom wall of the nozzle is larger than the diameter of the nozzle opening on the side wall of the nozzle.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the programmable controller is equipped with a remote control unit, and the programmable controller is wirelessly connected to an external control terminal through the remote control unit.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During the decoction process, the circulating pump, in conjunction with the circulating pipe, impacts and rotates the liquid in the electric heating decoction cylinder, stirring the liquid. After the decoction is completed, clean water is poured into the electric heating decoction cylinder and boiled. Then, the flushing solenoid valve is closed, and the circulating pump, in conjunction with the circulating pipe, delivers high-temperature clean water to the nozzle, which sprays out to flush the inside of the electric heating decoction cylinder and the circulating pipe. After several cycles, the drain solenoid valve is opened to discharge the wastewater through the drain pipe, making it convenient for users. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0019] Example
[0020] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, an intelligent integrated decoction system includes an outer shell 1. An electrically heated decoction cylinder 2 with its top protruding from the top wall of the outer shell 1 is fixedly installed at one end of the outer shell 1. A drain pipe 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the electrically heated decoction cylinder 2. The top of the drain pipe 3 penetrates the bottom wall of the electrically heated decoction cylinder 2 and communicates with the inner cavity of the electrically heated decoction cylinder 2. The bottom end of the drain pipe 3 bends outward and penetrates the end side wall of the outer shell 1 and extends to the outside of the outer shell 1. When the electrically heated decoction cylinder 2 is cleaned, the wastewater generated during cleaning can be discharged to the outside of the outer shell 1 through the drain pipe 3, which is convenient for users.
[0021] A circulation pipe 4 is installed on one side of the drain pipe 3. The end of the circulation pipe 4 away from the drain pipe 3 is inclined through the side wall of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 and communicates with the inner cavity of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2. A drain solenoid valve 5 is installed on the drain pipe 3 below the circulation pipe 4. A circulation pump 6 is installed in the middle section of the circulation pipe 4. When decocting the medicine, the drain solenoid valve 5 can be closed and the circulation pump 6 can be started. The circulation pump 6 first pumps out the medicine in the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 and then transports the medicine back into the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 along the circulation pipe 4. Since the end of the circulation pipe 4 connected to the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 is inclined and inserted into the electric heating decoction cylinder 2, the medicine in the circulation pipe 4 can impact the medicine in the electric heating decoction cylinder 2, causing the medicine in the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 to rotate and stir the medicine, so that the medicine is heated evenly.
[0022] The top opening of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 is covered with a cylinder cover 7. Multiple buckles 8 are arranged in a ring on the outer wall of the top of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2. The buckles 8 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2. The cylinder cover 7 is fixed to the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 by the buckles 8. It is used to seal the top opening of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 during the decoction process, improve the heating efficiency of the decoction, and prevent external impurities from falling into the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 during the decoction process and contaminating the decoction.
[0023] An exhaust pipe 9 is fixedly installed on the cover 7, with its bottom end communicating with the inner cavity of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2. A pressure relief valve 10 is installed at the top of the exhaust pipe 9, and a breather valve 11 is installed on the middle section of the exhaust pipe 9. The exhaust pipe 9 is set up to exhaust gas when the internal pressure of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 is too high. When the internal pressure of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 is too high, the pressure relief valve 10 will automatically open to discharge the high-pressure gas, so as to avoid the problem of explosion due to excessive internal pressure of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2.
[0024] A flushing pipe 13 is installed at one end of the circulation pipe 4 near the outer wall of the electric decoction cylinder 2 via a three-way connector 12. The end of the flushing pipe 13 away from the three-way connector 12 extends downward from the top of the electric decoction cylinder 2, passes through the upper surface of the cylinder cover 7, and extends into the electric decoction cylinder 2. The flushing pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the cylinder cover 7. A flushing solenoid valve 14 is installed on the circulation pipe 4 near the electric decoction cylinder 2 via the three-way connector 12. A nozzle 16 is rotatably connected to one end of the flushing pipe 13 inside the electric decoction cylinder 2 via a rotary connector 15. Multiple nozzles 17 are opened on the side wall and bottom wall of the nozzle 16. After the medicine is decocted, an appropriate amount of clean water is introduced into the electric decoction cylinder 2 and heated. Then the flushing solenoid valve 14 is closed, so that the circulation pipe 4 and the flushing pipe 13 are connected, allowing hot water to enter the flushing pipe 13 and spray out through the nozzles 17 on the nozzle 16 to quickly clean the inside of the electric decoction cylinder 2 and the circulation pipe 4.
[0025] An impeller 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the nozzle 16. The diameter of the nozzle 17 on the bottom wall of the nozzle 16 is larger than the diameter of the nozzle 17 on the side wall of the nozzle 16. This can minimize water accumulation on the bottom wall of the nozzle 16, creating a damping effect and affecting the rotation speed of the impeller 18. When clean water is discharged from the flushing pipe 13, it will impact the impeller 18 installed on the bottom wall of the nozzle 16, driving the impeller 18 to rotate, thereby driving the nozzle 16 to rotate, generating centrifugal force to evenly spray high-temperature clean water onto the inner wall of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the inner wall of the electric heating decoction cylinder 2.
[0026] A programmable logic controller (PLC) 19 is installed on the top wall of the outer casing 1 away from the electric heating decoction cylinder 2. The drain solenoid valve 5, the circulation pump 6, and the flushing solenoid valve 14 are all electrically connected to the PLC 19. The PLC 19 is equipped with a remote control unit, which wirelessly connects to an external control terminal. This allows users to remotely control the PLC 19 via the control terminal, thereby controlling the connection of the circulation pump 6, the drain solenoid valve 5, and the flushing solenoid valve 14, making the overall device more intelligent and user-friendly.
[0027] The top of the sealing cover 7 is equipped with a sight glass for observing the inside of the decoction tube 2. A flashlight 20 is installed on the side of the sight glass away from the pressure relief valve 10. During the decoction process, the inside of the decoction tube 2 can be observed by shining the flashlight 20 on it.
[0028] It should be noted that, in use, this intelligent integrated decoction system involves opening the lid 7 and introducing the medicinal materials into the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 for decoction. During the decoction process, the drain solenoid valve 5 is closed, and the circulation pump 6 is turned on, allowing the liquid in the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 to circulate through the circulation pipe 4. The liquid in the circulation pipe 4 impacts and rotates the liquid in the electric heating decoction cylinder 2, thus agitating the liquid. After the decoction is finished, an appropriate amount of clean water can be introduced into the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 and boiled. Then, the flushing solenoid valve 14 is closed, and the circulation pump 6 is used to deliver high-temperature clean water to the flushing pipe 13. Finally, the water is sprayed out through the nozzle 16 installed at one end of the flushing pipe 13 inside the electric heating decoction cylinder 2. This cycle is repeated several times to clean the electric heating decoction cylinder 2 and the circulation pipe 4. After cleaning, the drain solenoid valve 5 is opened, and the wastewater is discharged from the outer casing 1 through the bottom of the drain pipe 3.
[0029] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
