Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine production equipment technology, and in particular to a decoction pot brushing structure. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine production, herbs are decocted using a decoction pot. The decoction pot consists of an outer pot, an inner pot housed within the outer pot, and a lid covering the inner pot. The inner pot has an outward-curling edge that covers the upper part of the outer pot. The outer pot also has an outward-curling edge, and the lid has pinching protrusions. The decoction pot is designed for reuse; it needs to be cleaned after each use before being used again. Current methods involve pouring out the dregs and liquid, then directly transferring the herbs to a cleaning device. This leaves dregs on both the inner and outer pots, easily causing blockages in the drain pipes during cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a decoction pot cleaning structure that can simultaneously remove residual medicinal residue from both the inner and outer pots, thereby solving the problem that medicinal residue entering the cleaning process can easily cause pipe blockage.

[0004] The specific technical solution of this utility model is: a decoction pot brushing structure, wherein the decoction pot includes an outer pot and an inner pot inserted inside the outer pot, and the bottom wall of the inner pot is provided with filter holes. The structure is characterized by including a frame, the frame having a dregs box, an inner pot brushing chamber, and an outer pot brushing chamber; the dregs box having a dregs guide hopper; the inner pot brushing chamber including an inner pot brushing chamber cavity, an inner pot brushing chamber cavity cover for covering the inner pot brushing chamber cavity, and an inner pot brushing chamber cavity switch structure for driving the inner pot brushing chamber cavity cover to open and close. The cavity is located above and communicates with the dregs box. The inner pot brushing cavity is equipped with an inner pot brush, and the inner pot brushing cavity cover is equipped with an outer pot brush. The outer pot brushing cavity includes an outer pot brushing cavity, an outer pot brushing cavity cover for covering the outer pot brushing cavity, and an outer pot brushing cavity switch structure for driving the opening and closing of the outer pot brushing cavity cover. The outer pot brushing cavity is equipped with an inner pot brush. The inner pot brushing cavity is located above and communicates with the dregs box. In operation, the robotic arm holds the decoction pot and flips it over, guiding the dregs into the dregs guide hopper. Then, the decoction pot is inverted so that the inner pot is fitted onto the inner pot brush of the inner pot brush cavity. The outer pot is then lifted and removed, and the outer pot is fitted onto the inner pot brush of the outer pot brush cavity. The switching mechanism of the inner pot brush cavity drives the inner pot brush cavity cover to close, and the switching mechanism of the outer pot brush cavity drives the outer pot brush cavity cover. This causes the inner pot brush of the inner pot brush cavity to rotate to brush the inside of the inner pot, the outer pot brush of the inner pot brush cavity to rotate to brush the outside of the inner pot, and the inner pot brush of the outer pot brush cavity to rotate to brush the inside of the inner and outer pots, thus completing the brushing of both the inner and outer pots and brushing off the dregs.

[0005] Preferably, the dregs guide hopper is located in front of and integrated with the inner pot brushing cavity. When transferring the inner pot to the inner pot brushing cavity, the inner pot remains above the dregs guide hopper and the inner pot brushing cavity. This prevents dregs from falling into unintended areas and causing environmental pollution during the transfer process.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the inner pot cleaning cavity is open, forming an upper opening. The upper end of the front side wall of the inner pot cleaning cavity has a side opening. The upper opening and the side opening communicate with each other.

This facilitates the movement of the decoction pot into and out of the inner pot cleaning cavity.

[0007] Preferably, the inner pot has an inwardly folded edge, and the inner pot brushing cavity is provided with several inner pot brushing cavity limiting rods and several inner pot fixing structures. An inner pot brushing cavity supporting block is provided on one side of the space enclosed by the inner pot brushing cavity limiting rods to support the inner pot. The inner pot fixing structures are used to press the inwardly folded edge of the inner pot onto the inner pot brushing cavity supporting block. In use, the inner pot, with the outer pot fitted inside, is supported on the inner pot brushing cavity supporting block. The inner pot fixing structures fix the outwardly folded edge of the inner pot to prevent it from moving upwards. Then, a robotic arm lifts up the outer pot and removes it.

[0008] Preferably, the inner pot brushing chamber is equipped with an inner pot brushing chamber discharge port. The lower end of the inner pot brush is located inside the discharge port, which connects to the inner pot brushing chamber. The inner diameter of the discharge port is larger than the inner diameter of the outer pot. The inner pot brushing chamber support block extends into the discharge port. The inner pot fixing structure and the inner pot brushing chamber limiting rod are installed outside the discharge port.

[0009] Preferably, the inner pot brush cavity limiting rod includes an inner pot brush cavity connecting plate and two inner pot brush cavity side plates connected together in a "U" shape. The lower end of the inner pot brush cavity side plates is provided with an outer flange, which is fixed to the inner pot brush cavity cavity by the inner pot brush cavity limiting rod fixing screw. This design offers good structural strength and reliable connection.

[0010] Preferably, the inner pot fixing structure includes an inner pot brushing cavity pressing head and an inner pot brushing cavity pressing head driving cylinder for rotating and raising / lowering the inner pot brushing cavity pressing head. In use, the inner pot brushing cavity pressing head avoids the path of the inner pot being placed on the inner pot brushing cavity support block. The inner pot is inverted and supported on the inner pot brushing cavity support block. The inner pot brushing cavity pressing head rotates to a position above the outer flange of the inner pot, and then moves downwards to cooperate with the inner pot brushing cavity support block in clamping the outer flange of the inner pot, thereby preventing the outer pot from shifting during brushing.
