Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology, and in particular to an extraction device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine extracts. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) extraction refers to the process of extracting active ingredients from Chinese herbs for use in the preparation of TCM preparations or medicines. One of the most common methods of TCM extraction is decoction, which extracts the active ingredients from Chinese herbs into water. TCM extraction is widely used in the fields of TCM pharmaceuticals, health products, and cosmetics to extract pharmacologically active components.

[0003] The patent with the published authorization announcement number CN222854671U discloses an extraction device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine extracts.

[0004] The extraction device for producing traditional Chinese medicine extracts described in the aforementioned patent places the extract and extraction water in the same container for decoction. Since the desired product is a decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to separate the solids and liquids by removing solids or filtering. This adds an extra filtration step after decoction, prolonging the extraction time and slowing down the overall extraction process. Furthermore, the concentrated accumulation of herbs during decoction makes it difficult for their medicinal properties to fully volatilize and release, resulting in both material waste and reduced efficacy of the subsequent extract.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes an extraction device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine extracts. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application proposes an extraction apparatus for the production of traditional Chinese medicine extracts to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: An extraction device for producing traditional Chinese medicine extracts includes a main body and a heating inner liner, and further includes: a storage tank disposed inside the heating inner liner; a filter tank disposed inside the storage tank, the filter tank adopting a double-layer design, consisting of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder; a fixing plate fixedly connected to the top of the filter tank, the fixing plate having a circular hole inside communicating with the filter tank; a drive mechanism disposed inside the main body for driving the filter tank to rotate; support rods disposed inside the filter tank; and two sets of crossbars, each set consisting of five crossbars, all fixedly connected to the support rods, and the two sets arranged opposite to each other.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, both the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are provided with a plurality of filter holes, and the diameter of the filter holes in the inner cylinder is twice that of the outer cylinder. In a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a motor mounted on the top of the device body; a drive gear rotatably connected inside the device body, with the motor output fixedly connected to the drive gear; and a driven gear rotatably connected inside the device body and meshing with the drive gear for transmission. As a preferred embodiment, it further includes: a gear ring, disposed outside the fixed plate, and meshing with the driven gear for transmission; As a preferred embodiment, it further includes: a baffle strip, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the device body and located above the gear ring; As a preferred embodiment, it further includes: a sealing cover, disposed inside the main body of the device and located at the top of the baffle; and a handle, fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover; As a preferred embodiment, it further includes: a positioning hole, which is formed inside the storage tank; and a positioning post, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter tank, with the top end of the positioning post extending into the positioning hole.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this application are: This is an extraction device for producing traditional Chinese medicine extracts. During the decoction process, a motor is started, which drives a drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives a fixed plate and a filter barrel connected to it to rotate inside a storage tank via a gear ring. As the filter barrel rotates, the Chinese herbs inside are dispersed. Combined with the dispersing effect of the support rods and crossbars, this prevents the Chinese herbs from accumulating and ensures the full release of their effective components. This reduces food waste and enhances the efficacy of the subsequent extract, greatly improving the practicality of the device. This is an extraction device for producing traditional Chinese medicine extracts. After decoction, the sealing cap is pulled out by the handle, and the support rod and crossbar are simultaneously removed from the filter barrel, facilitating the subsequent pouring out of the herbs in the filter barrel. When the filter barrel is removed from the storage tank, the herbs are trapped and carried out by the filter barrel, while the decoction remains in the storage tank, achieving solid-liquid separation. Utilizing the double-layer structure of the filter barrel, the inner cylinder filters the herbs, while the outer cylinder further filters fine impurities, reducing residual impurities in the decoction. No additional filtration process is required, shortening the extraction time, ensuring extraction progress, and greatly improving the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0013] Reference Figure 1-4 An extraction device for producing traditional Chinese medicine extracts includes a main body 1 and a heating inner liner 2, and further includes: a storage tank 3 disposed inside the heating inner liner 2; a filter tank 4 disposed inside the storage tank 3, the filter tank 4 adopting a double-layer design, consisting of an inner cylinder 41 and an outer cylinder 42; a fixing plate 5 fixedly connected to the top of the filter tank 4, the fixing plate 5 having a circular hole inside communicating with the filter tank 4; a driving mechanism disposed inside the main body 1 for driving the filter tank 4 to rotate; a support rod 12 disposed inside the filter tank 4; and two sets of crossbars 13, each set consisting of five crossbars, all fixedly connected to the support rods 12, and the two sets being arranged opposite to each other.

[0014] Both the inner cylinder 41 and the outer cylinder 42 are provided with several filter holes, and the diameter of the filter holes in the inner cylinder 41 is twice that of the outer cylinder 42; both the inner cylinder 41 and the outer cylinder 42 of the filter barrel 4 are provided with several filter holes, and the diameter of the filter holes in the inner cylinder 41 is twice that of the outer cylinder 42. The difference in the pore size of the two layers enables the graded filtration of Chinese herbal medicines and fine impurities, thereby improving the purity of the Chinese herbal medicine water.

[0015] The drive mechanism includes a motor 6, which is mounted on the top of the main body 1; a drive gear 7, which is rotatably connected inside the main body 1, and the output end of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 7; and a driven gear 8, which is rotatably connected inside the main body 1 and meshes with the drive gear 7 for transmission. The working principle of the drive mechanism is as follows: the motor 6 mounted on the top of the main body 1 serves as a power source, and its output end is fixedly connected to the drive gear 7 inside the main body 1. After the motor 6 starts, it drives the drive gear 7 to rotate, and the drive gear 7 then meshes with the driven gear 8 inside the main body 1 to transmit rotational power.

[0016] It also includes: a gear ring 9, which is disposed outside the fixed plate 5 and meshes with the driven gear 8 for transmission; the gear ring 9 is disposed outside the fixed plate 5 and transmits the rotational power of the driven gear 8 to the fixed plate 5 through meshing with the driven gear 8, thereby driving the components connected to the fixed plate 5 to rotate synchronously.

[0017] It also includes: a stop bar 14, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the device body 1 and located above the gear ring 9; the stop bar 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the device body 1 and located above the gear ring 9. Its core function is to provide limiting support for related components above, such as the sealing cover 10, and at the same time prevent the gear ring 9 from interfering with other components when it rotates, so as to ensure the stable operation of the transmission structure.

[0018] It also includes: a sealing cover 10, which is located inside the main body 1 of the device and on top of the baffle 14; and a handle 11, which is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover 10. The sealing cover 10 is located inside the main body 1 of the device and on top of the baffle 14. The baffle 14 provides limiting support to ensure the sealing effect. The handle 11 fixed on its top provides an operating fulcrum for the convenient opening and closing of the sealing cover 10, taking into account both the sealing performance of the device and the convenience of use.

[0019] It also includes: a positioning hole 16, which is opened inside the storage tank 3; a positioning post 15, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter tank 4, and the top end of the positioning post 15 extends into the positioning hole 16; the positioning hole 16 inside the storage tank 3 cooperates with the positioning post 15 at the bottom of the filter tank 4, and the top end of the positioning post 15 extends into the positioning hole 16 to form a positioning structure, which provides precise positioning for the installation of the filter tank 4 in the storage tank 3, ensures its stability when rotating or stationary, and avoids displacement that affects the working effect.

[0020] Working principle: In use, first place the filter bucket 4 into the storage bucket 3, then pour the herbal extract and extraction water into the filter bucket 4, and then cover it with the sealing cap 10 to complete the seal. The effective components of the herbal medicine are extracted by heating the inner pot 2.

[0021] During the decoction process, motor 6 is activated, which drives the drive gear 7 to rotate the driven gear 8. This, in turn, drives the fixed plate 5 and the connected filter barrel 4 to rotate within the storage barrel 3 via the gear ring 9. As the filter barrel 4 rotates, the Chinese herbal medicines inside disperse. Combined with the dispersing effect of the support rod 12 and the crossbar 13, this prevents the Chinese herbal medicines from accumulating and ensures that their effective components are fully released. This reduces food waste and enhances the efficacy of the subsequent extracts.

[0022] After decoction is completed, the sealing cap 10 is pulled out using the handle 11. The support rod 12 and crossbar 13 are simultaneously removed from the filter bucket 4 along with the sealing cap 10, facilitating the subsequent pouring out of the herbs from the filter bucket 4. When the filter bucket 4 is removed from the storage bucket 3, the herbs are trapped and carried out by the filter bucket 4, while the decoction remains in the storage bucket 3, achieving solid-liquid separation. Utilizing the double-layer structure of the filter bucket 4, the inner cylinder 41 filters the herbs, while the outer cylinder 42 further filters fine impurities, reducing residual impurities in the decoction. This eliminates the need for additional filtration steps, shortens extraction time, and ensures the extraction progress.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
