Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal herb cooking technology, and in particular to a medicinal herb cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Steaming and boiling medicinal herbs is a traditional Chinese medicine processing method. It involves heating the herbs in water to a boil to alter their chemical composition, enhance their efficacy, or improve their appearance. This method plays a crucial role in the processing of Chinese medicinal herbs and is widely used in the processing of various medicinal materials.

[0003] Currently, medicinal herbs require the use of medicinal herb cooking equipment for auxiliary operation during the cooking process.

[0004] A traditional Chinese medicine steaming and cooking device with prior art announcement number CN221672671U includes a working box and a box cover. One end of the connecting handle has a telescopic cavity, and a spring is fixedly installed in each telescopic cavity. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to one end of the fitting plate. The top of the connecting handle is fitted with a connecting groove, and a slot is opened on one side of the inner wall of the groove. The slot is fitted with the fitting plate.

[0005] This device solves the problem of existing cooking devices where a large amount of liquid in the dregs is removed after use, resulting in wasted liquid.

[0006] However, in actual use, the filter cylinder needs to be removed before the filter cylinder containing the medicinal materials can be installed between the two cooking processes. The process of removing and installing takes a long time and reduces the cooking efficiency. Therefore, an improvement is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0009] A liquid collecting hopper is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the base plate, and a through hole extending from the top of the base plate to the bottom is provided, and the through hole matches the liquid collecting hopper and the placement hole.

[0010] A fixing frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate, and an extrusion assembly is installed on the fixing frame.

[0011] Furthermore, an electric heating element is fixedly installed inside the cooking barrel, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooking barrel. The heating element can increase the temperature inside the cooking barrel.

[0012] Furthermore, a lid is threadedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the cooking tank, and a steam outlet is fixedly connected to the top of the lid, which facilitates the discharge of steam.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner walls of both placement holes are fixedly connected with limit rings, which facilitate the placement of the herbal filter cartridge.

[0014] Furthermore, both of the aforementioned medicinal material filter cartridges include a side ring, which is mounted on top of the limiting ring. A reinforcing frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side ring. The filter cartridge body is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the reinforcing frame and the inner surface of the side ring. The reinforcing frame can increase the strength of the filter cartridge body and avoid affecting its service life.
