Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction technology, specifically, to a traditional Chinese medicine decoction device that prevents the pot from burning. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine decoctions are liquid preparations obtained by decocting or steeping medicinal herbs (whole or coarsely granulated) in water, removing the dregs, and extracting the liquid. Decoctions are one of the oldest dosage forms in traditional Chinese medicine and are widely used in clinical practice. They fully meet the needs of TCM's syndrome differentiation and treatment, and possess several key characteristics such as rapid efficacy, easy absorption, and strong effects.

[0003] In existing technologies, the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine usually involves wrapping the medicinal herbs in gauze and then placing them inside a decoction pot for decoction. In addition, the few decoction pots designed with filter boxes have holes at the top of the filter box, into which the medicinal herbs are poured. This makes it easy for the herbs to accumulate in the filter box. For example, herbs such as donkey-hide gelatin are prone to sticking and clogging. After decoction, this causes great inconvenience to cleaning the filter box and handling the herbs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine decoction device that prevents scorching, in order to solve the problem that the filter box is not removable in the prior art, which makes it inconvenient to clean the filter box and process the medicinal materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a traditional Chinese medicine decoction device with anti-scorching function is provided, comprising a box body and a box cover on top of the box body. The box body includes an outer shell, and a heating inner liner is disposed in the inner wall of the outer shell. A heater is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell. The heater is used to heat the heating inner liner for decoction. Multiple support platforms are threadedly connected to the bottom of the heating inner liner. A filtering mechanism is disposed above the support platforms. The filtering mechanism includes a filter box, which is made of medical-grade stainless steel. The filter box can be disassembled into two symmetrical semi-circular filter boxes. Connecting hinges and buckles are fixed on the sides where the two semi-circular filter boxes contact each other. Rotating rings are provided at the center of the upper and lower sides of the filter box. Stirring blades are connected between the rotating rings through a shaft.

[0006] As a further improvement to this technical solution, after the buckle is opened, the filter box opens via a connecting hinge, allowing Chinese medicinal herbs to be placed inside the filter box. The outer surface of the filter box has multiple filter holes.

[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the box cover includes a sealing cover, and an air outlet pipe is slidably connected in the hole opened at the center of the upper part of the sealing cover, and the air outlet pipe passes through the sealing cover and is slidably connected to the pressure relief valve.

[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the pressure limiting valve includes a valve body. The valve body has multiple air outlet holes on its conical outer wall that communicate with a cylindrical groove inside. An elastic ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the valve body. The elastic ring is used to nest on the outside of the air outlet pipe to prevent it from falling off.

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, after the filter box is installed above the support platform, the heater can cause the stirring blades to slowly rotate within the filter box via the water flow during the heating process.

[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, when the internal pressure of the heating inner liner is higher than the external air pressure, the steam is pushed out of the valve body through the vent pipe, so that the internal steam is discharged outward through the vent hole. Two sets of heat-insulating handles are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side of the box body near the box cover.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This anti-scorching herbal decoction equipment uses a filter box divided into two semi-circular sections. The filter box can be opened using a combination of snap-fit ​​and hinges. After decoction, the filter box can be directly removed and opened to separate the dregs from the liquid, avoiding the residue caused by traditional gauze wrapping. The internal stirring blades gradually agitate the herbs as the hot water flows, promoting the extraction of effective medicinal components. The detachable filter box allows for easy cleaning of the filter holes after decoction, preventing clogging. 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] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-5As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine decoction device that prevents scorching, including a box body 100 and a box cover 200 on top of the box body 100. The box body 100 includes an outer shell 101, and a heating inner liner 102 is provided in the inner wall of the outer shell 101. A heater 103 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell 101. The heater 103 is used to heat the heating inner liner 102 for decoction. Multiple support platforms 306 are threadedly connected to the bottom of the heating inner liner 102. A filtering mechanism 300 is provided above the support platforms 306. The filtering mechanism 300 includes a filter box 301, which is made of medical-grade stainless steel. 01 can be disassembled into two symmetrical semi-circular filter boxes 301. Connecting hinges 302 and buckles 305 are fixed on the sides where the two semi-circular filter boxes 301 meet. Rotating rings 303 are provided at the center of the upper and lower sides of the filter box 301. Stirring blades 304 are connected between the rotating rings 303 through a shaft. After the buckles 305 are opened, the filter box 301 is opened by the connecting hinges 302, and Chinese medicinal materials can be put into the filter box 301. Multiple filter holes are opened on the outer surface of the filter box 301 (not shown). When the Chinese medicine is decocted, the staff takes out the filter box 301 and opens the filter box 301 through the buckles 305. The Chinese medicinal herbs are placed in the filter box 301, and the filter box 301 is closed by the buckle 305 after placement. The filter box 301 is fixed to the bottom of the heating inner tank 102 by the support platform 306. An appropriate amount of clean water is poured into the heating inner tank 102. After the power is turned on, the heater 103 starts to heat. The heat energy is conducted to the heating inner tank 102 to heat the clean water inside the heating inner tank 102. The heated clean water flows freely through the 0.5mm-1.5mm filter holes on the surface of the filter box 301, preventing the medicinal material residue from entering the medicinal liquid. The flow rate of the heated medicinal liquid in the filter box 301 increases, which drives the stirring blades 304 inside the filter box 301 to rotate slowly along the shaft between the upper and lower rotating rings 303, accelerating the precipitation of the effective components of the medicinal materials.

[0025] In addition, to improve the safety of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction equipment that prevents scorching, the lid 200 includes a sealing cover 201. A vent pipe 403 is slidably connected to a hole at the center of the sealing cover 201. The vent pipe 403 passes through the sealing cover 201 and is slidably connected to a pressure limiting valve 400. The pressure limiting valve 400 includes a valve body 401. Multiple vent holes 402 are provided on the conical outer wall of the valve body 401, communicating with cylindrical grooves inside. An elastic ring 404 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the valve body 401. The elastic ring 404 is used to nest around the vent pipe 403 to prevent it from falling off. When the heating inner pot 102 is continuously heated, the steam generated by the boiling water inside causes the pressure inside the heating inner pot 102 to be higher than the external air pressure. The steam is pushed out of the valve body 401 through the vent pipe 403. 1. The internal steam is discharged outward through the vent 402. Two sets of heat-insulating handles 104 are symmetrically fixed on the outer side of the box body 100 near the box cover 200. The cooperation between the sealing cover 201 and the heating inner liner 102 prevents the gas generated after heating from leaking out. When decocting some animal-based medicinal materials such as tortoise shell and deer antler, high pressure can accelerate the dissolution of collagen and calcium. In order to prevent the gas pressure inside the heating inner liner 102 from being too high and causing an explosion, the pressure limiting valve 400 installed on the top of the sealing cover 201 lifts the valve body 401 upward through the vent pipe 403 with high pressure gas, so that the high pressure gas can be discharged smoothly from the vent 402. The elastic ring 404 at the bottom of the valve body 401 is elastically nested on the outside of the vent pipe 403 to prevent the valve body 401 from falling off.

[0026] The working principle of this device is as follows: Before decocting the traditional Chinese medicine, the operator removes the filter box 301 and opens it using the buckle 305. The medicinal herbs are placed inside the filter box 301, and then closed using the buckle 305. The filter box 301 is fixed to the bottom of the heating inner tank 102 using the support platform 306. An appropriate amount of clean water is poured into the heating inner tank 102. After turning on the power, the heater 103 begins heating, and the heat energy is conducted to the heating inner tank 102 to heat the water inside. The heated water flows freely through the 0.5mm-1.5mm filter holes on the surface of the filter box 301, preventing herb fragments from entering the decoction. The heated decoction flows faster in the filter box 301, causing the stirring blades 304 inside the filter box 301 to rotate slowly along the shaft between the upper and lower rotating rings 303, accelerating the extraction of the effective components of the medicinal herbs and ensuring a denser flow. The combination of the cap 201 and the heating inner liner 102 prevents the gas generated after heating from leaking out. When decocting some animal-based medicinal materials such as tortoise shell and deer antler, high pressure can accelerate the dissolution of collagen and calcium. In order to prevent the gas pressure inside the heating inner liner 102 from being too high and causing an explosion, a pressure limiting valve 400 installed on the top of the cap 201 lifts the valve body 401 upward through the vent pipe 403, allowing the high-pressure gas to be discharged smoothly from the vent hole 402. The elastic ring 404 at the bottom of the valve body 401 is elastically nested on the outside of the vent pipe 403 to prevent the valve body 401 from falling off. The filter box 301 can be opened by the cooperation of the buckle 305 and the connecting hinge 302. After decoction, the filter box 301 can be directly removed and opened to separate the dregs and liquid, avoiding the component residue caused by traditional gauze wrapping. The detachable filter box 301 can also be disassembled and the filter holes cleaned after the decoction is completed to prevent the filter holes from becoming clogged.
