Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automated decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, specifically, it relates to a decoction device with a medicine pack fixing unit. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction refers to the process of combining various Chinese medicinal herbs according to a TCM prescription, decocting them according to requirements, and then collecting the resulting liquid. As TCM treatment concepts are gradually accepted worldwide, the global demand for TCM is increasing, and the need for the development and improvement of automated production technology for TCM decoction preparation is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] In existing decoction devices for traditional Chinese medicine, the device includes an outer pot containing the medicinal liquid and an inner pot located inside the outer pot to support the herb packet / medicinal material. The top wall of the inner pot has a herb packet inlet, and the side and bottom walls of the inner pot have several medicinal liquid flow holes. During the decoction process, the medicinal material or herb packet is put into the inner pot through the herb packet inlet. The medicinal liquid in the outer pot permeates into the herb packet through the medicinal liquid flow holes. However, the size and shape of the medicinal liquid flow holes can restrict the flow of the medicinal liquid, preventing it from fully permeating the herb packet and reducing the decoction effect. Furthermore, setting several medicinal liquid flow holes on the side and bottom walls of the inner pot increases the difficulty and cost of manufacturing the inner pot. When using herb packets, for light herbs and leaves, prolonged floating on the medicinal liquid makes it difficult to fully immerse them, affecting the uniformity of the medicinal liquid and the full extraction of effective components. The herb packets are also easily damaged when tumbling in the medicinal liquid.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The frame structure of the inner support assembly of this utility model includes at least two connecting parts 122-1 arranged circumferentially to connect the top support plate 121 to the bottom plate 124. The support plate 121 is annular, extending a certain length from the inner circumference to the outer circumference, with the inner circumference serving as the loading port 1211. The connecting parts 122-1 are connected to the support plate 121 at a distance from its outer circumference. The support plate 121 of the inner support assembly is placed at the outer pot loading port 110a, and the connecting parts 122-1 and the bottom plate 124 are disposed inside the outer pot. The connecting parts 122-1 are connected to the support plate 121 near the inner circumference and to the bottom plate 124 near the outer circumference. The outer pot inlet 110a is provided with a reinforcing rib 113, which is arranged in a ring around the outer pot inlet 110a. The support plate 121 is placed on the reinforcing rib 113, and the outer edge of the upper support plate 121 extends beyond the reinforcing rib 113, covering the reinforcing rib 113 at the bottom of the protruding support plate 121. The reinforcing rib 113 is a flange, a bend, or a step extending outward from the outer pot inlet 110a, and the reinforcing rib 113 is arranged in a ring around the outer pot inlet 110a.

[0026] The connecting part 122-1 is a connecting rod 122 or a connecting plate extending vertically between the support plate 121 and the base plate 124; the top and bottom ends of the connecting rod 122 or the connecting plate are connected to the bottom of the support plate 121 and the base plate 124, respectively; the connecting rod 122 or the connecting plate consists of four connecting rods that are radially symmetrical along the base plate, with two rods spaced apart on each side, and the distance between the connecting rods 122 or the connecting plates on one side is less than the distance between the connecting rods 122 or the connecting plates on the other side.

[0027] The fixing unit of this invention is disposed on the connecting part 122-1 or the support plate 121 of the inner support assembly 120, near the bottom plate 124. The connecting piece of the medicine pack is connected to the fixing unit, preferably detachably. The fixing unit can be disposed on the protrusion of the connecting part 122-1 or the bottom plate 124 of the inner support assembly 120. The protrusion on the connecting part 122-1 is disposed near the bottom plate 124, and the connecting piece of the medicine pack is connected to the protrusion; preferably detachably.

[0028] Alternatively, at least three circumferentially spaced connecting portions 122-1 connect the top support plate 121 to the bottom base plate 124; adjacent connecting portions 122-1 are connected by a winding rod 125, which is positioned close to the base plate 124, and the connecting piece of the medicine pack is connected to the winding rod 125. The winding rod 125 corresponds to the protrusion on the connecting portion 122-1 described above, extending to connect with another connecting rod 122.

[0029] Preferably, the connecting rods 122 or connecting plates of this utility model are four connecting rods that are radially symmetrical along the base plate, with two connecting rods 122 symmetrically spaced on each side. The distance between the connecting rods 122 or connecting plates on one side is less than the distance between the connecting rods 122 or connecting plates on the other side. The winding rod 125 is provided on the connecting rod 122 on one side, or connecting rods are provided on both sides.

[0030] The connecting parts of the medicine pack can be separate ropes, straps, or handles, or they can be connecting parts extending from the medicine pack. The opening end of the medicine pack can be gathered and tied tightly with ropes or straps. At this time, the ropes or straps can be pulled out and placed inside the edge seam of the medicine pack to seal the opening end of the medicine pack and prevent the medicine from scattering or becoming contaminated.

[0031] Generally, the decoction pot 100a includes a fixing unit located within the inner support structure 120a, which is used to fix the free end of the connector after the opening of the sealed medicine bag to the outer periphery of the medicine bag dispensing port 1211 at the top of the inner support structure 120a.

[0032] More specifically, the fixing unit is located below the tray 121 with the medicine bag delivery port 1211 at the top of the inner support structure 120a, and the medicine bag is supported on the bottom plate 124 at the bottom of the inner support structure 120a. When fixing the drug pack in the unit, the free end of the connector extends upward from the bottom of the inner support structure 120a to the fixing unit, enters the clamping cavity 123a of the fixing unit through the through hole 1231a, and is fixed by the clamping cavity 123a.

[0033] Specifically, the fixed unit includes: The function of clamping component 123 is to clamp and fix the rope, which can ensure that the medicine bag is placed stably and prevent it from moving, tilting or floating during the decoction process due to boiling or stirring of the medicine. Clamping component 123 mainly clamps and fixes the end of the rope, which can ensure that the clamping force is more concentrated and effective, and avoid excessive squeezing or damage to other parts of the medicine bag.

[0034] Furthermore, the decoction pot 100a includes: The winding unit is located at the bottom between the two connecting rods 122 of the connecting plate 121 and the base plate 124. The free end of the connector passes through the lower part of the winding unit and is then fixed by the fixing unit.

[0035] By winding the rope with the winding unit and clamping the free ends of the rope with the clamping member 123, it can be ensured that the medicine pack will not float due to the buoyancy of the water during the decoction process.

[0036] like Figure 2-6 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the decoction pot 100a containing the medicine pack includes: an outer pot 110 and an inner support structure 120a. The inner support structure 120a is an inner support component 120, which includes: a support plate 121, a bottom plate 124 for supporting the medicine pack, and at least two connecting parts 122-1. The tray 121 is provided with a medicine bag inlet 1211, and the bottom plate 124 is provided with a medicine liquid flow hole 124a; the outer periphery of the bottom plate 124 is basically in contact with the inner periphery of the outer pot 110 or there is a gap. The decoction pot includes an outer pot 110 for containing the medicinal liquid and an inner support assembly 120 placed inside the outer shell, realizing the automation and convenience of traditional Chinese medicine decoction.

[0037] The tray 121 is connected to the base plate 124 by at least two connecting parts 122-1 arranged circumferentially, so that the medicinal liquid can not only penetrate into the medicine bag through the medicinal liquid flow hole 124a, but also penetrate into the medicine bag through the gap formed by the two connecting parts 122-1. This allows the medicinal liquid to fully penetrate into the medicine bag, improving the decoction effect. Furthermore, the spacing between the two connecting parts 122-1 can reduce the use of raw materials in the manufacture of the inner support component 120, thereby reducing the cost and difficulty of manufacturing the inner support component 120.

[0038] The material of the inner support component 120 should have properties such as high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance to cope with the high temperature environment during the decoction process. The base plate 124 has several through holes 124a. During decoction, the medicine packet is placed into the decoction device 100 through the medicine packet inlet 1211, and the base plate 124 supports the medicine packet entering the decoction device 100. The medicinal liquid in the outer pot 110 of the decoction device 100 permeates into the medicine packet through the through holes 124a and the gaps formed between the two connecting parts 122-1 and the inner circumference of the outer pot, which also facilitates the churning of the decoction and the uniformity of the medicinal liquid.

[0039] Furthermore, the connecting part 122-1 is a connecting rod 122 extending vertically between the support plate 121 and the base plate 124; the top and bottom ends of the connecting rod 122 are connected to the bottom of the support plate 121 and the top of the base plate 124, respectively.

[0040] The vertically extending design of the connecting rod 122 makes the connection between the tray 121 and the base plate 124 more direct and stable. This linear support structure can effectively resist horizontal forces and prevent the inner support component 120 from tilting or deforming due to the shaking of the medicine during the decoction process.

[0041] The top and bottom ends of the connecting rod 122 are tightly connected to the bottom of the support plate 121 and the top of the base plate 124, respectively, forming a stable support frame. This connection method ensures the effective transmission of force between the support plate 121 and the base plate 124, avoiding loosening or falling off due to poor connection.

[0042] The base plate 124 can be configured as a disc-shaped structure with a high center and a gradually decreasing circumference, so that when the medicine pack is squeezed or otherwise operated, the liquid medicine in the medicine pack can flow smoothly into the outer pot 110; specifically, the tray 121 is arc-shaped, the inner circumference of the tray 121 forms the medicine pack inlet 1211, and the base plate 124 is disc-shaped.

[0043] Furthermore, the inner peripheral edge of the medicine package dispensing port 1211 includes a number of first straight line segments 1211a and a number of first arc segments 1211b that are alternately distributed along the circumferential direction; The top end of the connecting rod 122 connects to the bottom of the tray 121 at the first straight segment 1211a. The first straight segment 1211a forms a clear boundary at the edge of the medicine packet dispensing opening 1211, helping the user to place the medicine packet more accurately and preventing the medicine packet from deviating from the medicine packet dispensing opening 1211. At the same time, the design of the first straight segment 1211a also enhances the structural rigidity of the medicine packet dispensing opening 1211, preventing deformation caused by external forces. The design of the second arc segment 124c makes the edge of the medicine packet dispensing opening 1211 smoother, reducing friction and resistance when in contact with the medicine packet, which is conducive to the smooth dispensing of the medicine packet. In addition, the second arc segment 124c also gives the medicine packet dispensing opening 1211 a certain aesthetic appeal.

[0044] Connecting the top of the connecting rod 122 to the bottom of the tray 121 at the first straight segment 1211a is a reasonable choice because the straight segment has better positioning and stability than the arc segment. Connecting the connecting rod 122 at these positions can ensure that the connection between the connecting rod 122 and the tray 121 is more firm and reliable, so that the entire inner support assembly 120 can maintain good stability and resistance to deformation when bearing the weight of the medicine pack and various forces during the decoction process.

[0045] Preferably, the inner peripheral edge of the medicine package dispensing port 1211 includes two opposing first straight segments 1211a and two opposing first arc segments 1211b; the tray 121 at each first straight segment 1211a is connected to two connecting rods 122. This design balances structural strength, stability, and ease of use. The length of the first straight segment 1211a is less than the length of the first arc segment 1211b.

[0046] Furthermore, the outer peripheral edge of the base plate 124 includes several second straight segments 124b corresponding to the positions of the first straight segment 1211a and several second arc segments 124c corresponding to the positions of the first arc segment 1211b; The bottom end of the connecting rod 122 is connected to the top of the base plate 124 at the second straight segment 124b. Specifically, the support plate 121 and the base plate 124 are coaxially arranged, the two first straight segments 1211a are symmetrically arranged with the center of the support plate 121 as the center of symmetry, and the two second straight segments 124b are symmetrically arranged with the center of the base plate 124 as the center of symmetry; the connecting rod 122 connected to one first straight segment 1211a and the connecting rod 122 connected to the other first straight segment 1211a are symmetrically arranged with the center of the support plate 121 as the center of symmetry.

[0047] Furthermore, the second straight segment 124b is recessed inward relative to the second arc segment 124c to form a clearance notch 124d; the clearance notch 124d has two corners 124f and 124e distributed along the circumference, which are respectively connected to connecting rods 122.

[0048] The inward indentation refers to the indentation within the inner support assembly 120. The clearance notch 124d is provided to avoid the protrusion 111 described below when the inner support assembly 120 is placed inside the outer pot 110. The bottom ends of the two connecting rods 122 are connected to two corners 124f and 124e distributed circumferentially along the clearance notch 124d. Because the corners 124f and 124e are stress concentration points, connecting the connecting rods 122 to the corners 124f and 124e can enhance the support capacity of these areas, enabling the entire inner support assembly 120 to maintain better stability and resistance to deformation when bearing the weight of the medicinal liquid and various forces during the decoction process.

[0049] In this invention, the fixing unit is disposed on the support plate 121 of the inner support assembly 120 or on the upper part of the connecting part 122-1, protruding into the outer pot. The fixing unit has a through hole 1231a, and the connecting member of the medicine pack is connected to the through hole 1231a. The fixing unit is a clamping member 123, which is an elastic clamping member, and the connecting member of the medicine pack passes through the through hole 1231a of the clamping member 123. The clamping member 123 is provided with a clamping cavity 123a for clamping the connecting member of the medicine pack, and an inner core 1232 that moves within the clamping cavity 123a. An elastic member is disposed within the clamping cavity 123a; the through hole 1231a penetrates the clamping cavity 123a and the inner core 1232. The clamping member 123 includes: a housing 1231, the top of which is disposed on the support plate 121 or the upper part of the connecting part 122-1, the opening of the housing 1231 is suspended facing the peripheral wall or bottom wall of the outer pot, and a downward-facing through hole 1231a is provided in the suspended part of the housing 1231. An inner core 1232 extends and retracts relative to the opening in the housing 1231, and its side wall is provided with an inward-facing clamping groove 1232a. The clamping groove 1232a and the side wall of the housing 1231 with the through hole 1231a form a clamping cavity 123a.

[0050] Specifically, a clamping member 123 for clamping the medicine pack connector is provided on the tray 121 between the two connecting parts 122-1.

[0051] The clamping member 23 is provided with a clamping cavity 23a for clamping the medicine pack connector and a through hole 1231a for allowing the medicine pack connector to enter the clamping cavity 123a; The housing 1231 has its top mounted on the support plate 121, its bottom suspended, and has a downward-facing opening. A through hole 1231a is provided on the inward-facing side wall of the housing 1231. The inner core 1232 extends and retracts vertically within the shell 1231 relative to the opening. Its side wall is provided with a clamping groove 1232a with the slot facing inward. The clamping groove 1232a and the side wall of the shell 1231 with the through hole 1231a form a clamping cavity 123a. The return spring 1233 is located inside the housing 1231, with one end connected to the top of the housing 1231 and the other end connected to the top of the inner core 1232.

[0052] The inward-facing perforation 1231a and the inward-facing slot refer to the perforation 1231a facing the inside of the inner support component 120, the clamping slot 1232a facing the inside of the inner support component 120, and the inward-facing sidewall of the shell 1231 referring to the shell facing the inside of the inner support component 120. Taking a rope component with a separate connector as an example, after placing the Chinese medicinal herbs into the medicine bag, the medicine bag is tightened by the rope component. The tightening method is as follows: the medicine bag has an opening for inserting the medicine bag, and the opening has a channel for the rope component to pass through and be pulled out. By pulling out the rope component, the opening of the medicine bag is sealed, thereby tightening the medicine bag; pushing the inner core 1232 upward compresses the return spring 1233, causing the receiving groove 1232a of the inner core 1232 to coincide with the through hole 1231a of the shell 1231. The end of the rope component is placed in the receiving groove 1232a through the through hole 1231a. After placement, the force pushing the inner core 1232 is released, and the inner core 1232 returns to its initial state under the restoring force of the return spring 1233. At this time, the end of the rope is clamped in the clamping cavity 123a, that is, between the side wall of the shell 1231 with the through hole 1231a and the inner core 1232, thus completing the clamping and fixing of the medicine pack connector.

[0053] Furthermore, a winding member 125a for winding the medicine pack connector is provided below the clamping member 123; The winding member 125a is a winding rod 125. The winding rod 125 and the clamping member 123 are arranged opposite to each other between two adjacent connecting rods 122. The two ends of the winding rod 125 are respectively connected to the two connecting rods 122. Furthermore, the winding rod 125 is disposed at the bottom of the two connecting rods 122.

[0054] Preferably, the winding rod 125 is a horizontally extending straight rod.

[0055] This invention allows for the separate provision of a protruding connecting part or hook on the connecting rod 122 of the inner support assembly 120 or on the edge of the base plate 124. Alternatively, a winding rod 125 can be provided to replace the protruding part or hook on the connecting rod 122. Taking the medicine bag connector as a separately provided rope as an example, after the rope seals the medicine bag, it first passes through the lower part of the winding rod 125 from the inside of the inner support assembly 120 to the outside of the inner support assembly 120. It can be wound several times or directly fixed, such as by tying a knot, or fixed with other fasteners, such as clips. Generally, the winding rod 125 is located near the base plate, that is, near the bottom of the outer pot, at least halfway below the two connecting rods 122, to ensure that the medicine bag is completely immersed in water and medicine liquid.

[0056] This utility model can also be provided with only the clamping member 123, with the connecting member of the medicine pack clamped inside the clamping member.

[0057] This utility model can also be provided with a clamping member 123 and a protruding part, a hook, or a clamping member 123 and a winding rod 125. In this case, the rope first passes through the interior of the inner support assembly 120 from the lower part of the winding rod 125 to the upper part of the winding rod 125, and then winds several times, and then extends upward to the clamping member 123. The end of the rope is clamped and fixed by the clamping member 123.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, in the implementation of this utility model, a limiting structure 111 is provided on the inner wall of the outer pot 110; the limiting structure 111 cooperates with the inner support component 120 to restrict the inner support component 120 from rotating inside the outer pot 110.

[0059] In the embodiments of this utility model, the cooperation between the limiting structure 111 and the inner support component 120 can restrict the rotation of the inner support component 120 within the outer pot 110, so that the inner support component 120 and the medicine pack on the inner support component 120 can maintain a relatively stable position within the outer pot 110 during the decoction process, especially when the medicine is boiling or being stirred. This can prevent the medicine from overflowing or heating unevenly, thus improving the decoction effect.

[0060] The outer pot 110, as the main part of the entire decoction apparatus 100, primarily serves to contain the medicinal liquid required during the decoction process. It needs to be made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or ceramic, to ensure it can stably withstand high temperatures and maintain the purity of the medicinal liquid during decoction. In addition, the heat insulation performance of the outer pot 110 should also be considered to reduce heat loss during the decoction process and improve decoction efficiency.

[0061] The inner support assembly 120's tray 121 is positioned at the outer pot's inlet 110a, ensuring stable placement of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot 110. This facilitates the placement and retrieval of medicine packets while preventing direct contact between the inner support assembly 120 and the bottom of the outer pot 110, which could cause wear or contamination. Specifically, the tray 121, located on the outer periphery of all connecting rods 122, is positioned at the outer pot's inlet 110a. Specifically, the tray 121 is annular, extending horizontally from its inner periphery to its outer periphery for a certain length. The inner periphery of the tray 121 forms the medicine packet inlet 1211. The portion of the tray 121 extending from its connection point with the connecting portion 122-1 described below to its outer periphery forms a support portion 121a. This support portion 121a is positioned at the outer pot's inlet 110a, allowing the tray 121 to rest on the outer pot 110.

[0062] Specifically, a reinforcing rib 113 is provided at the outer pot inlet 110a, and the reinforcing rib 113 is arranged in a ring around the outer pot inlet 110a; the support plate 121 is placed on the reinforcing rib 113; In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 113 is provided at the outer pot inlet 110a. The reinforcing rib 113 is arranged in a ring around the outer pot inlet 110a, and its main purpose is to enhance the structural strength of this area of ​​the outer pot 110. Since the outer pot inlet 110a is frequently subjected to internal and external forces, such as the placement and removal of the inner support component 120, and the dispensing of medicine packets, the addition of the reinforcing rib 113 can effectively prevent the outer pot inlet 110a from deforming or breaking due to long-term use or improper operation, thereby extending the service life of the outer pot 110. As a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing rib 113 is a ring-shaped reinforcing rib 113 arranged around the outer pot inlet 110a.

[0063] Specifically, the tray 121 is mounted on the reinforcing rib 113, which provides stable support for the tray 121 and ensures the accurate position of the inner support assembly 120 within the outer pot 110. The annular structure of the reinforcing rib 113 provides a flat and sturdy placement platform for the tray 121, enabling the tray 121 to firmly support the inner support assembly 120 and the medicine pack on it, preventing shaking or tilting during the decoction process.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment, the outer edge of the tray 121 protrudes from the reinforcing rib 113. The design of the outer edge of the tray 121 protruding from the reinforcing rib 113 increases the contact area between the tray 121 and the reinforcing rib 113, thereby improving the stability of the tray 121 during placement. It also provides a certain guiding effect for the placement and removal of the inner support assembly 120, making it easier for users to complete these operations.

[0065] In an embodiment of this utility model, the limiting structure includes at least two limiting portions 111-11 distributed circumferentially on the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110; the limiting portions 111-11 cooperate with the connecting portion 122-1 to restrict the rotation of the inner support assembly 120.

[0066] In this embodiment of the present invention, specifically, the limiting part 111-11 is a protrusion 111 protruding from the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110; the two protrusions 111 are limited between the two connecting rods 122, or the two connecting rods 122 are limited between the two protrusions 111. The inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 is provided with protrusions 111; the protrusions 111 cooperate with the connecting rods 122 to limit the rotation of the inner support assembly 120 inside the outer pot.

[0067] In the embodiments of this utility model, the shape and size of the rib 112 ensure that it does not protrude too much and increase the volume and weight of the outer pot 110, while providing sufficient stability for the transfer component when clamping the decoction device 100.

[0068] Specifically, during the transfer of the decoction device 100, the transfer components, such as the transport cart and clamps, are clamped onto the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 below the rib 112. Due to the design of the rib 112, the transfer components can more stably clamp the outer pot 110, preventing accidents such as slippage or tipping during the transfer process.

[0069] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes at least two spaced ribs 112, and when the decoction device 100 is used for transporting the medicine, the transport component clamps the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 between the two ribs 112.

[0070] To further enhance the stability and safety of the decoction device 100 during the transfer process, at least two ribs 112 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110. The at least two ribs 112 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the outer pot 110, and the spacing between them is at least sufficient to allow the transfer components to be clamped.

[0071] Specifically, during the transfer of the decoction device 100, the transfer components, such as the transport cart and clamps, are clamped onto the outer peripheral wall of the outer pot 110 between the two ribs 112. Due to the presence of the two ribs 112, the transfer components can more firmly clamp the outer pot 110, preventing it from shaking or slipping during the transfer process.

[0072] In this embodiment of the present invention, a carrier 130 is provided at the bottom of the outer pot 110, and the decoction device 100 is moved on the automatic decoction system conveyor line by the carrier 130.

[0073] Furthermore, the carrier 130 includes: a support plate 131, which is fixedly connected to the outer pot 110; The conveying module 132 covers the outer periphery of the support plate 131 and is detachably connected to the support plate 131. In this embodiment, in order to improve the automation and mobility of the decoction device 100, a carrier 130 is provided at the bottom of the outer pot 110. The design of the carrier 130 should take into account factors such as compatibility with the conveyor line, load-bearing capacity and stability.

[0074] The carrier 130 mainly consists of two parts: a support plate 131 and a conveying module 132. The support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer pot 110, providing stable support for the entire decoction device 100. The conveying module 132 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the support plate 131 and is detachably connected to the support plate 131, so that the conveying module 132 can be replaced or adjusted according to different conveying line types, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the decoction device 100.

[0075] As a preferred embodiment, the support plate 131 and the outer pot 110 are fixed together by welding. The welded connection has the advantages of high strength, good sealing and firm connection, which can ensure that there will be no relative displacement or loosening between the support plate 131 and the outer pot 110 during the movement of the decoction device 100. At the same time, it simplifies the installation process and improves work efficiency.

[0076] Specifically, the support plate 131 is a square sheet metal structure with a shaped fixing part 1311 at its edge. The fixing part 1311 is located at the edges of the four sides of the support plate 131. When it is necessary to fix the outer pot 110 of the decoction device 100, the fixing device and the fixing part 1311 cooperate to achieve the fixing function.

[0077] The conveying module 132, which covers the outside of the support plate 131, is composed of four straight rods 1321 connected end to end.
