Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decoction pot technology, specifically a far-infrared Chinese medicine decoction pot. Background Technology

[0002] Decoction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs is an indispensable part of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, aiming to extract the effective components from the medicinal materials. Traditional methods of decoction mainly rely on open flames or electric heating devices for heating; however, these methods have limitations. For example, when using open flames or electric heating wires, it is difficult to ensure uniform heat distribution, which may lead to localized overheating or uneven heating, affecting the stability and consistency of the medicine's efficacy. Furthermore, traditional electric heating devices have low electrothermal conversion efficiency and high energy consumption due to design limitations, and they are also inconvenient to clean, easily creating cleaning dead zones where residual medicine residue is difficult to remove, affecting hygiene and efficacy for subsequent uses.

[0003] With the development of technology, far-infrared heating technology has been gradually applied to daily life and industrial production. Far-infrared heating features high energy utilization, uniform heating, and strong penetration, which can more effectively promote the release of active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine and improve efficacy. However, products combining far-infrared heating technology with traditional Chinese medicine decoction functions are currently rare on the market, and existing products often fail to fully consider practical issues such as ease of cleaning, safe operation, and preventing the decoction from sticking to the bottom. Therefore, a far-infrared traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a far-infrared Chinese medicine decoction pot, which has the advantages of uniform heating, high electrothermal conversion rate, easy cleaning and safe operation, and solves the problems of high energy consumption and inconvenient cleaning of traditional Chinese medicine decoction equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a far-infrared Chinese medicine decoction pot, comprising a decoction pot body, a heating component and a support base, wherein the heating component is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the support base, and a switch and power cord electrically connected to the heating component are provided on the side end face of the support base, and a filter hopper is provided inside the decoction pot body;

[0006] The heating assembly includes a housing, a thermally conductive substrate, an electrode copper foil, and a carbon nanofiber film. The electrode copper foil is provided with electrode wires electrically connected to the switch. The carbon nanofiber film is bonded between the thermally conductive substrate and the electrode copper foil with conductive adhesive. The electrode copper foil is provided with a heating plate for heating. An O-ring for heat insulation is provided between the thermally conductive substrate and the housing.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the far-infrared Chinese medicine decoction pot of this utility model, the decoction pot body includes a pot body, a pot lid and a positioning seat. The positioning seat is installed on the top of the pot body and slidably connected thereto. The pot lid is detachably installed at the center of the upper end face of the positioning seat. The side end face of the pot body is provided with a spout.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the far-infrared Chinese medicine decoction pot of this utility model, the pot body is provided with a handle on the side end face, the end of the handle is provided with an anti-scalding handle, the upper end face of the pot lid is provided with a lifting cap, and a fixing bolt is provided between the lifting cap and the pot lid for fixing. Both the anti-scalding handle and the lifting cap are made of wood.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the far-infrared traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot of this utility model, the filter bucket includes a bucket body, a side filter screen and a bottom filter screen, and the side end face of the filter bucket is provided with a support rib for auxiliary fixation of the side filter screen.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the far-infrared traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot of this utility model, the bottom of the pot body is provided with a heat-conducting plate, and the bottom of the filter bucket is provided with support legs.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the far-infrared traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot of this utility model, the top of the filter bucket is provided with a flange, the upper end face of the flange is provided with a connecting rod, the top of the connecting rod is provided with a lifting ring that slides with the positioning seat, and the edge of the lifting ring is provided with an elastic damping ring, which is made of food-grade silicone.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the far-infrared traditional Chinese medicine decoction pot of this utility model, the heat-conducting substrate is made of high borosilicate glass.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model employs a heating component that combines a nanofiber carbon film with copper electrode foil. The film is adhered to a heat-conducting substrate using conductive adhesive. Upon energization, the nanofiber carbon film generates far-infrared radiant heat, which is transferred to the heat-conducting substrate via Joule heating. This design significantly improves the electrothermal conversion rate and ensures uniform heat distribution, avoiding the problems of localized overheating or uneven heating caused by traditional heating methods. This guarantees the full release of the herbal ingredients and the stability of their medicinal properties. Furthermore, the O-ring silicone seal between the heat-conducting substrate and the outer shell provides both thermal insulation and protection for the outer shell, while also reducing heat loss, further optimizing thermal efficiency.

[0015] 2. The pot body of this utility model adopts a split design. The detachable structure of the positioning seat with sliding connection expands the opening at the top of the pot body, making it easy to thoroughly clean the internal residue of medicine dregs. This solves the problem of many dead corners in the cleaning of traditional decoction pots. The filter bucket innovatively adopts a double-layer filtration with side and bottom filters. Combined with the support leg design at the bottom of the bucket body, the medicine liquid flows through both sides and bottom during the decoction process, which improves the exchange rate between medicine and water and avoids the bottom from gelatinizing. At the same time, the support leg isolates the filter bucket from the heat-conducting plate at the bottom of the pot, ensuring water circulation space and further reducing the risk of scorching. The combination design of the lifting ring and elastic damping ring not only facilitates the picking up and putting down of the filter bucket and the adjustment of the suspension height, but also ensures that the filter bucket is always centered through the guiding action of the positioning seat, maintaining uniform heating.

[0016] 3. The pot body of this utility model is equipped with a wooden anti-scalding handle and a lid lifting cap on the side. The low thermal conductivity of wood avoids burns and ensures safe and convenient medicine pouring operation. The power supply uses high borosilicate glass as the heat-conducting substrate, which has both high thermal conductivity and insulation, effectively eliminating the risk of leakage. In addition, the elastic damping ring provides buffer friction when lifting the filter bucket, which not only prevents the filter bucket from falling and being damaged, but also allows for fine adjustment of its suspension height to adapt to the decoction needs of different medicinal materials. These detailed designs together improve the safety and ease of use of the equipment and meet the stability requirements of high-frequency, long-term decoction scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 A far-infrared Chinese medicine decoction pot includes a decoction pot body 1, a heating component 2 and a support base 3. The heating component 2 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the support base 3. A switch 4 and a power cord 5 electrically connected to the heating component 2 are provided on the side end face of the support base 3. A filter hopper 6 is provided inside the decoction pot body 1.

[0023] The heating component 2 includes a housing 201, a thermally conductive substrate 203, an electrode copper foil 204, and a nano-carbon fiber film 206. The electrode copper foil 204 is provided with an electrode wire 205 that is electrically connected to the switch 4. The nano-carbon fiber film 206 is bonded between the thermally conductive substrate 203 and the electrode copper foil 204 by conductive adhesive. The electrode copper foil 204 is provided with a heating plate for heating. An O-ring silicone ring 202 for heat insulation is provided between the thermally conductive substrate 203 and the housing 201.

[0024] The heating component 2 generates far-infrared rays to heat the Chinese medicine decoction pot. The Joule heating is uniform and has a high electrothermal conversion rate.

[0025] Furthermore, the main body 1 of the frying pot includes a pot body 101, a pot lid 102 and a positioning seat 103. The positioning seat 103 is installed on the top of the pot body 101 and slidably connected thereto. The pot lid 102 is detachably installed at the center of the upper end face of the positioning seat 103. A spout 1012 is provided on the side end face of the pot body 101.

[0026] The three-section structure of the decoction pot body 1 allows the positioning seat 103 on the top of the pot body 101 to be removed, thereby increasing the size of the top opening of the pot body 101. This facilitates thorough cleaning of the inside of the pot body 101 and improves the ease of cleaning the decoction pot body 1. The positioning seat 103 also ensures that the filter hopper 6 is located in the center of the pot body 101, avoiding uneven heating and affecting the medicinal properties of the Chinese medicine.

[0027] Furthermore, a handle 1013 is provided on the side end face of the pot body 101, and an anti-scalding handle 1014 is provided at the end of the handle 1013. A lifting cap 1021 is provided on the upper end face of the pot lid 102, and a fixing bolt 1022 is provided between the lifting cap 1021 and the pot lid 102 for fixing. Both the anti-scalding handle 1014 and the lifting cap 1021 are made of wood.

[0028] By incorporating a handle 1013 and a lifting cap 1021, the handle 1013 is prevented from being submerged in broth after the Chinese medicine has been decocted, thus preventing the inconvenience of promptly pouring out the decocted medicine and improving the safety and convenience of the equipment.

[0029] Furthermore, the filter hopper 6 includes a hopper body 601, a side filter screen 602, and a bottom filter screen 603. The side end face of the filter hopper 6 is provided with a support rib 606 to assist in fixing the side filter screen 602.

[0030] The combination of side filter 602 and bottom filter 603, compared to traditional decoction pots with only bottom openings for filtration, increases the exchange rate of Chinese medicine inside and outside the filter hopper 6, thereby improving the uniformity of Chinese medicine decoction and the rate of Chinese medicine extraction. Although it slightly increases the probability of residue leakage, the combination with the three-section decoction pot body 1 structure overcomes the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the decoction pot.

[0031] Furthermore, a heat-conducting plate 1011 is provided at the bottom of the pot body 101, and a support leg 604 is provided at the bottom of the filter hopper 6.

[0032] The filter hopper 6 is isolated from the heat-conducting plate 1011 at the bottom by the support leg 604, which reduces the probability of burning at the bottom during decoction and ensures that water flows between the filter hopper 6 and the bottom, thereby increasing the contact area between the Chinese medicine and water and improving the decoction effect.

[0033] Furthermore, the top of the filter hopper 6 is provided with a flange 605, the upper end face of the flange 605 is provided with a connecting rod 607, the top of the connecting rod 607 is provided with a lifting ring 608 that slides with the positioning seat 103, and the edge of the lifting ring 608 is provided with an elastic damping ring 609, which is made of food-grade silicone.

[0034] By setting a lifting ring 608 at the top of the filter hopper 6, it is convenient to remove it for cleaning. On the other hand, the lifting ring 608 cooperates with the positioning seat 103 to ensure that the filter hopper 6 is located in the center of the pot body 101, improving the uniformity of frying. An elastic damping ring 609 is set at the edge of the lifting ring 608 to increase the friction between the lifting ring 608 and the positioning seat 103. This prevents the filter hopper 6 from falling and breaking quickly. In addition, the filter hopper 6 can be suspended in the air under the friction of the elastic damping ring 609, allowing for fine adjustment of the height of the filter hopper 6.

[0035] Furthermore, the thermally conductive substrate 203 is made of borosilicate glass.

[0036] High borosilicate glass has good high temperature resistance and thermal conductivity, as well as good insulation properties, which can effectively prevent leakage.

[0037] When using this decoction pot, place the Chinese medicine to be decocted into the filter hopper 6, ensuring the medicine is evenly distributed within the hopper body 601. Then, use the lifting ring 608 to lower the filter hopper 6 into the pot body 101, allowing the support legs 604 at the bottom of the filter hopper 6 to rest on the heat-conducting plate 1011 at the bottom of the pot body 101. At this point, the filter hopper 6 is isolated from the heat-conducting plate 1011. Simultaneously, the lifting ring 608 slides into the positioning seat 103, ensuring the filter hopper 6 is centered within the pot body 101. If fine-tuning of the filter hopper 6's height is required, the elastic damping at the edge of the lifting ring 608 can be used. Adjust the friction between ring 609 and positioning seat 103, install positioning seat 103 back onto the top of pot body 101 to fix the position of filter hopper 6, insert power cord 5 into a suitable power socket, and turn on heating assembly 2 via switch 4 on the side end of support base 3. In heating assembly 2, electrode wire 205 on electrode copper foil 204 is electrically connected to switch 4, and nano carbon fiber film 206 is pasted between heat-conducting substrate 203 and electrode copper foil 204 with conductive adhesive. The heating plate on electrode copper foil 204 begins to heat up, generating far-infrared radiation. An external heating element heats the decoction pot. Because the heat-conducting substrate 203 is made of high borosilicate glass, it possesses excellent high-temperature resistance, thermal conductivity, and insulation properties, ensuring a safe and stable heating process. During decoction, the Chinese medicine is placed in the filter hopper 6. The combination of the side filter 602 and the bottom filter 603 enhances the exchange rate between the Chinese medicine and water, resulting in more uniform decoction and faster extraction. After decoction, the heating component 2 switch 4 is turned off, the power cord 5 is unplugged, and the lid 102 is secured to the pot lid 102 using the lifting cap 1021 and fixing bolts 1022. The structure allows you to lift the pot lid 102 by holding the cap 1021, and tilt the pot body 101 by holding the handle 1013 and the anti-scalding handle 1014. Pour out the decocted Chinese medicine through the spout 1012. After pouring out the Chinese medicine and letting it cool, remove the positioning seat 103 again and take the filter 6 out of the pot body 101. The filter 6 can be easily cleaned through the lifting ring 608. At the same time, the inside of the pot body 101 can be thoroughly scrubbed. The three-section decoction pot body 1 structure increases the opening at the top of the pot body 101, making cleaning more convenient.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
