Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, specifically a steam-type decoction machine for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] As a core step in the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine, the quality of the decoction process directly affects the extraction efficiency of medicinal components and the purity of the decoction. Traditional decoction methods often use earthenware pots and open flames, which presents problems such as difficulty in controlling the heat and loss of effective ingredients.

[0003] With the development of modern pharmaceutical technology, steam-heated decoction equipment has gradually become the mainstream, improving decoction efficiency by controlling steam temperature and circulation methods.

[0004] However, existing equipment still faces technical bottlenecks in terms of steam utilization rate, control of impurities in the decoction, and extraction rate of effective components. Firstly, in common devices, the steam-decoction liquid needs to be passively cooled to form the decoction liquid, which is slow and incomplete during the steam decoction process. Secondly, in common devices, it is difficult to ensure that the steam can penetrate the material evenly for decoction heating, resulting in an imperfect decoction. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by using a cooling component to rapidly cool the steam to achieve a high-efficiency cooking effect, and by using a steam component in conjunction with a material platform to improve the defect of uneven steam penetration.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the material platform is provided with a connector rod, and multiple connector rods are equally spaced apart.

[0010] Furthermore, the plug rod has a hollow structure inside, and multiple air jets are provided on both sides of the plug rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the vent pipe is provided with multiple heat-conducting strips, and the multiple heat-conducting strips are equidistantly distributed along the circumference of the vent pipe.

The following provides a detailed description of this steam-type decoction machine for processing traditional Chinese medicine. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0026] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6This embodiment provides a steam-type decoction machine for processing traditional Chinese medicine, comprising: a base 1; a top-mounted receiving cavity 102 for storing purified water for decocting traditional Chinese medicine; a side-mounted push-button switch 101 for controlling other components via circuit connection. An upper cover 2 covers the top of the receiving cavity 102 of the base 1 to achieve a seal. A material platform 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom, located at the bottom of the upper cover 2, for holding traditional Chinese medicine; a steam assembly located at the top of the base 1 for placing and heating the material with steam; and a cooling assembly located inside the upper cover 2 for accelerating steam cooling to achieve reflux.

[0029] During use, the user can place the Chinese medicine on the top of the material platform 3 and heat the water source through the steam component to obtain high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam quickly heats the Chinese medicine, and the heated Chinese medicine is decocted through water vapor. After passing through the Chinese medicine, the water vapor will continue to float upward and reach the top. During the steam decoction process, the steam containing Chinese medicine components will adhere to the bottom of the upper cover 2. At the same time, the cooling component can accelerate the cooling and reflux of the adhered steam. Through the cooling and reflux effect, the water can return to the position of the steam component below and continue to rise.

[0030] The steam assembly includes: an electric heating plate 103 fixed to the top of the base 1, with multiple electric heating tubes 104 integrated inside; and a filter table 301 integrated with the material table 3. During use, the user can heat the water inside the upper receiving cavity 102 through the electric heating tubes 104 and the electric heating plate 103 to generate steam, which is then used to heat and decoct Chinese medicinal materials. The returned water can be filtered by the surrounding filter table 301 to prevent the presence of a large number of large particles of impurities, thereby improving the purity.

[0031] The material platform 3 is equipped with a plug rod 302 on its top, and multiple plug rods 302 are evenly distributed. During use, the plug rods 302 can leave a gap at the bottom of the medicinal material, allowing the steam flow to pass through the medicinal material more quickly and come into contact with it.

[0032] The plug rod 302 has a hollow structure inside, and multiple air jets 303 are opened on both sides of the plug rod 302. The multiple air jets 303 on both sides can allow steam to mix into the Chinese medicinal material from the inside and continuously heat the Chinese medicinal material, thereby increasing the contact area between the Chinese medicinal material and the steam, so that the steam can better pass through the Chinese medicinal material for heating.

[0033] The base 1 has a push switch 101 on one side, and the push switch 101 is electrically connected to the heating element 104 and the blower 203.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Please see Figure 1-6 The cooling assembly includes: a vent pipe 201 penetrating the interior of the upper cover plate 2, filters 202 installed on both sides, multiple heat-conducting strips 204 evenly distributed around the inner wall, and a blower 203.

[0036] The two parts are set in pairs at both ends of the vent pipe 201 and adopt the same air supply mode. The return block 205 is fixed to the bottom of the upper cover plate 2 and the bottom is provided with an arc-shaped groove. During use, after the blower 203 is started, the airflow continuously passes through the vent pipe 201. At this time, the cold airflow from the outside can absorb the heat of the return block 205. The steam floating upward will lose heat after contacting the return block 205 and quickly reform into water flow. It flows back along the return block 205, so that the water can continuously pass from the medicine to the steam and then through the medicine to continue to form medicine. The high temperature heating of the steam can prevent the direct decoction of the medicine from mixing a large number of impurities in the medicine into the finished medicine liquid. At the same time, it can also increase the decoction temperature of the medicine, so that the beneficial components in the medicine can be more completely extracted and integrated into the medicine liquid.

[0037] The bottom of the return block 205 has multiple guide strips 206, all of which are arc-shaped. During use, the multiple guide strips 206 can guide steam to converge along the bottom of the return block 205 and reform water. In this way, the steam formed by the liquid medicine can be quickly fused and returned.

[0038] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0039] The above provides a detailed description of a steam-type decoction machine for processing traditional Chinese medicine provided in the embodiments of this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the technical solutions and core ideas of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
