Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine steaming technology, and in particular to a steaming device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology
[0002] Steaming is a crucial step in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces. Traditional TCM decoction piece steaming devices typically involve placing the herbs inside a steamer and filling it with water. However, these devices lack effective design to prevent direct water contact with the herbs, often resulting in moisture seeping into the herbs during steaming, affecting their quality and efficacy. Furthermore, weak water level monitoring makes it difficult to accurately control the remaining water level, frequently leading to dry burning. This not only damages the equipment but can also cause the herbs to spoil, increasing production costs and wasting resources, while also posing a safety hazard to operators. These problems severely restrict the efficiency and quality of TCM decoction piece steaming. To effectively address these issues, this solution proposes a TCM decoction piece steaming device. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a steaming device for Chinese herbal medicine slices. By setting a float at the bottom of the steaming box, the steaming box is suspended in a state after water is added during use. Furthermore, the perforated plate and grid at the bottom of the steaming box have a certain space between them, which effectively prevents water from directly contacting the medicinal materials during steaming. The remaining water level during steaming is monitored by a touch plate and limit switch at the bottom of the steaming box, which effectively prevents dry burning.
[0004] This utility model also provides a steaming device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, comprising: a base, an outer casing fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, float movable grooves provided on both the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base, a steaming chamber movably connected inside the outer casing, a heating module provided inside the base, and a limit switch fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base; floats fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the lower surface of the steaming chamber, a perforated plate provided on the lower surface of the steaming chamber, a grid fixedly connected inside the steaming chamber, a touch plate fixedly connected to the lower surface of the perforated plate, and the lower surface of the touch plate movably connected to the limit switch.
[0005] According to the steaming device for Chinese herbal medicine slices described in this utility model, guide grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner casing. These guide grooves provide guidance for the movement of the float, preventing the steaming chamber from tilting due to the float's tilting.
[0006] According to the present invention, a steaming device for traditional Chinese medicine slices is provided, wherein a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base, and one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the movable trough of the float. Water is effectively injected into the device through the water inlet pipe.
[0007] According to the present invention, a steaming device for traditional Chinese medicine slices is provided, wherein both ends of the float are fixedly connected to sliding contacts, and the sliding contacts are slidably connected to the guide groove.
[0008] According to the present invention, a steaming device for processing traditional Chinese medicine slices includes a drain pipe fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base, one end of which is connected to a floating trough. This drain pipe removes internal water, thus serving the purpose of water replacement.
[0009] According to the present invention, a steaming device for Chinese medicinal herbs is provided, wherein a cavity is provided between the grid and the perforated plate, and a top cover is detachably connected to the upper surface of the steaming chamber. The cavity effectively prevents water from contacting the Chinese medicinal herbs during steaming.
[0010] According to the present invention, a steaming device for Chinese herbal medicine slices is provided, wherein support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower surface of the base, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the base and the outer casing. Beneficial effects
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this Chinese herbal medicine steaming device suspends the steaming chamber after water is added by setting a float at the bottom of the chamber. The perforated plate and grid at the bottom of the chamber provide a certain space between them, which effectively prevents water from directly contacting the herbs during steaming. Furthermore, the touch plate and limit switch at the bottom monitor the water level during steaming, which effectively prevents dry burning. Attached Figure Description
