Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concentration equipment technology, specifically a dynamic circulation concentration device for traditional Chinese medicine extract. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine concentration refers to the process of evaporating most of the solvent (usually water) from the extract, thereby concentrating the active ingredients. The concentrated extract can then be further processed into: traditional Chinese medicine granules, traditional Chinese medicine ointments, oral liquids, tablets, etc.

[0003] Patent CN216169969U discloses a vacuum concentration device for traditional Chinese medicine extracts, including a housing. An inner housing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing. Two through holes are formed on the upper surface of the housing, with an exhaust pipe and a feed pipe respectively located at the top of each hole. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the housing, and a vacuum pump is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the suction port at the top of the vacuum pump. This patent, through the design of a drive motor, stirring shaft, conical permeation plate, and filter plate, allows the traditional Chinese medicine extract to enter the device. Activating the inner housing drives the stirring shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the conical permeation plate and filter plate to rotate. The rotating conical permeation plate and filter plate stir the extract, allowing it to pass quickly through the filter plate, thereby increasing the device's concentration efficiency.

[0004] As shown in the above technology, the extract contains Chinese herbal medicine particles and sugars. When heated statically, it is easy for the liquid to settle and burn at the bottom. The liquid is heated unevenly in different parts of the tank, resulting in different liquid concentrations in different parts of the tank, with some parts being too concentrated and others too diluted, which affects the stable use in the later stages. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dynamic circulation concentration device for traditional Chinese medicine extracts. It solves the problems that the extract contains Chinese medicine particles and sugars, which easily cause the extract to settle and burn when heated statically, resulting in uneven heating of the liquid in different parts of the tank, different liquid concentrations in different parts of the tank, and local over-concentration and local under-concentration, which affect the stable use in the later stage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dynamic circulation concentration device for traditional Chinese medicine extracts, comprising:

[0007] The mounting frame has a top mounting plate and a bottom mounting plate fixedly connected to its surface.

[0008] An extraction tank assembly, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of a top mounting plate, is used to fully extract the medicinal liquid after soaking Chinese herbal medicine.

[0009] A concentration tank assembly, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom mounting plate surface, is used to concentrate the effective components in a pure Chinese herbal medicine soaking solution.

[0010] Preferably, the extraction tank assembly includes an extraction tank fixedly connected to a top mounting plate, a filter plate fixedly connected between the two sides of the inner wall of the extraction tank, a preheating plate provided on the surface of the extraction tank, and a feed pipe and a water inlet pipe connected to the top of the extraction tank.

[0011] Preferably, an isolation pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the water inlet pipe, a filter membrane is movably connected to the top of the isolation pad, and a lifting handle is fixedly connected to the top of the filter membrane.

[0012] Preferably, the concentration tank assembly includes a concentration tank fixedly connected to a bottom mounting plate, a stirring motor fixedly connected to the top of the concentration tank via a bracket, a stirring blade fixedly connected to the bottom end of the output end of the stirring motor via a coupling, a sliding head fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring blade, and the surface of the sliding head slidingly connected to the inner wall of the concentration tank.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the concentration tank is connected to a circulation pipe, one end of the circulation pipe is connected to a circulation pump, the outlet of the circulation pump is connected to a discharge pipe, one end of the discharge pipe passes through the top of the concentration tank and extends into the interior of the concentration tank, and the bottom end of the discharge pipe is connected to a nozzle.

[0014] Preferably, a feed pipe is connected to one side of the top of the concentration tank, a condenser pipe is connected to one side of the top of the concentration tank, and a discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the concentration tank.

[0015] This invention provides a dynamic circulation concentration device for traditional Chinese medicine extracts. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This dynamic circulation concentration device for traditional Chinese medicine extract utilizes the setup of a concentration tank assembly. The extract contains medicinal particles and sugars, which are prone to settling and scorching when heated statically. Circulation keeps the extract flowing and ensures uniform heating, effectively preventing sedimentation and scorching. The continuous liquid flow increases the heating area, reducing thermal resistance, increasing the evaporation rate, and improving heat transfer efficiency. This ensures consistent liquid concentration in different parts of the tank. Dynamic circulation promotes rapid evaporation of water, improving concentration efficiency. Additionally, a condenser is included. If the condensate contains aromatic components, such as volatile oils from the medicinal material, these will be carried away with the steam. In this case, the condensate is a medicinal distillate that needs to be collected and stored for use as an excipient, fragrance, or medicinal liquid.

[0017] 2. The dynamic circulation concentration equipment for this Chinese herbal extract utilizes the extraction tank assembly. The extraction tank can first preheat and soak the Chinese herbal raw materials, effectively separating the medicinal components from the raw materials. Furthermore, the use of a filter plate can directly prevent the raw materials from sinking and clogging the feed pipe. The water inlet pipe is set separately from the feed pipe, which facilitates basic filtration of the liquid and makes subsequent maintenance simple. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0025] Example 1: A dynamic circulation concentration device for traditional Chinese medicine extract, comprising:

[0026] Mounting frame 1, with top mounting plate 2 and bottom mounting plate 3 fixedly connected to its surface;

[0027] Extraction tank assembly 4, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top mounting plate 2, is used to fully extract the medicinal liquid after soaking the Chinese medicine;

[0028] The concentration tank assembly 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom mounting plate 3. The concentration tank assembly 5 is used to concentrate the effective components in pure Chinese herbal medicine soaking liquid. Utilizing the concentration tank assembly 5, the extract contains Chinese herbal medicine particles and sugars, which are prone to settling and scorching when heated statically. Circulation keeps the liquid flowing and heats evenly, effectively preventing sedimentation and scorching. The continuous liquid flow increases the heating area, reduces thermal resistance, increases the evaporation rate, improves heat transfer efficiency, and ensures consistent liquid concentration in different parts of the tank. Dynamic circulation promotes rapid evaporation of water, improving concentration efficiency. Additionally, a condenser pipe 510 is provided. If the condensate contains aromatic components (such as peppermint, patchouli, tangerine peel, etc.), or volatile oil components in Chinese herbal medicine, they will be carried out with the steam. In this case, the condensate is a medicinal distillate that needs to be collected and stored for use as an adjuvant, fragrance, or medicinal liquid. Most of the time, the condensate is pure water because most medicinal materials do not contain volatile components, and in this case, the condensate is discharged directly.

[0029] Example 2 differs from Example 1 primarily in that it is a dynamic circulation concentration device for traditional Chinese medicine extract. The extraction tank assembly 4 includes an extraction tank 41 fixedly connected to a top mounting plate 2. A filter plate 47 is fixedly connected between the two sides of the inner wall of the extraction tank 41. A preheating plate 48, which is annular in shape and includes, but is not limited to, resistance heating, is provided on the surface of the extraction tank 41. A feed pipe 42 and a water inlet pipe 43 are connected to the top of the extraction tank 41. An isolation pad 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the water inlet pipe 43. A filter membrane 45 is movably connected to the top of the isolation pad 44. A lifting handle 46 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter membrane 45. The concentration tank assembly 5 includes a concentration tank 51 fixedly connected to a bottom mounting plate 3. A heating plate is provided at the bottom of the concentration tank 51, using electric heating technology, including but not limited to resistance heating. A stirring motor 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the concentration tank 51 via a bracket. A stirring blade 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the output end of the stirring motor 52 via a coupling. A sliding head is fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring blade 53. 54. The surface of the sliding head 54 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the concentration tank 51. A circulation pipe 55 is connected to the bottom of the concentration tank 51. One end of the circulation pipe 55 is connected to a circulation pump 56. The outlet of the circulation pump 56 is connected to a discharge pipe 57. One end of the discharge pipe 57 passes through the top of the concentration tank 51 and extends into the interior of the concentration tank 51. A nozzle 58 is connected to the bottom of the discharge pipe 57. A feed pipe 59 is connected to one side of the top of the concentration tank 51. An electrically controlled valve is installed on the feed pipe 59. A nozzle 58 is connected to one side of the top of the concentration tank 51. The condenser tube 510 has a downward-sloping surface. The bottom of the concentration tank 51 is connected to the discharge pipe 511, which is equipped with an electrically controlled valve. With the help of the extraction tank assembly 4, the extraction tank 41 can first preheat and soak the Chinese herbal raw materials, effectively separating the medicinal components from the raw materials. The filter plate 47 can directly prevent the raw materials from sinking and clogging the feed pipe 59. The water inlet pipe 43 is set separately from the feed pipe 42, which facilitates basic filtration of the water and makes subsequent maintenance easy.

[0030] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] During operation, sufficient amounts of Chinese herbal raw materials are fed into the extraction tank 41 through the feed pipe 42, and water is poured into the extraction tank 41 through the water inlet pipe 43. The water is filtered by the filter membrane 45. The preheating plate 48 is turned on to heat and soak the Chinese herbal medicine in the solution, and the effective substances in the solution are initially separated from the Chinese herbal medicine. The solution is then released downwards into the concentration tank 51 through the feed pipe 59. The inside of the concentration tank 51 is heated, and the stirring motor 52 is turned on. The stirring blades 53 drive the sliding head 54 to rotate, and the solution is evenly moved inside the concentration tank 51. Stirring and circulation pump 56 are turned on to directly drive the concentrated medicine liquid through circulation pipe 55 and discharge pipe 57 to spray nozzle 58. The medicine liquid is sprayed out through nozzle 58. While heating, high temperature steam is guided outward through condenser pipe 510. Heating circulation shortens the heating time. After the concentration tank 51 has been heated for a period of time, discharge pipe 511 is opened to release and receive the medicine liquid. When maintaining filter membrane 45, pull up handle 46 to separate filter membrane 45 from isolation pad 44, and then replace it. When the use of the device is completely finished, the device is restored.
