Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to an extractor suitable for brewing Chinese herbal medicine, tea, etc.

<Prior art> Korean utility model registration No. 14210 (publication number 77-62) was granted to the applicant for a heating glass pharmaceutical can consisting of a glass body and a metal bottom.
According to this document, compared to a medicine can made entirely of glass material, it has higher thermal efficiency and durability, greatly improving its practicality. When brewing, there is the problem of having to remove floating dregs and residue.
Particularly when decocting Chinese herbal medicines that tend to produce bubbles, such as Korean ginseng, there is a problem in that the bubbles can cause spillage. Furthermore, with conventional glass pharmaceutical cans, there was a problem in that during the process of infusing Chinese medicine, steam was discharged outside the medicine can, and the medicinal components of the Chinese medicine were discharged together with the steam. Particularly in the case of carrots, a large amount of medicinal ingredients are contained in the steam and leak out, and it has been desired to reduce this amount.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In view of these problems of the conventional technology, the main purpose of the present invention is to prevent the bubbles generated when infusing Chinese herbal medicine from causing boiling over, and to prevent the bubbles from boiling over from the outside. The object of the present invention is to provide an extractor that minimizes the amount of steam flowing out.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an extractor that can easily remove the residue and dregs produced when infusing Chinese herbal medicines.

<Means for Solving the Problems> According to the present invention, an outer container, an inner container received in the outer container, and a steam condenser connected to the upper part of the outer container are provided. and wherein the outer container has a body made of glass or ceramic material and a metal bottom having an inwardly directed circular projection, and the inner container is made of glass or ceramic material. a metal bottom formed to be complementary to the inner surface of the circular protrusion and having a plurality of small holes; a lid attached to the upper end of the inner container body; This is achieved by providing an extractor characterized by having a handle erected on its inner surface.

<Effect> By storing Chinese herbal medicine etc. in the inner container, the bubbles generated will be trapped in the inner container, preventing boiling over, and the steam will be condensed by the condenser and collected in the container. This prevents medicinal ingredients from being discharged to the outside along with the steam.

<Embodiments> The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the outer container 10 consisting of a glass main body 11 and a metal bottom 12, an upward circular protrusion 12' is formed in the center of the metal bottom 12, and a heating plate of an electric heater (not shown) is formed on the lower surface of the outer container 10. It is designed to be accepted. An inner container 20 is contained within the outer container 10, and has a metal bottom 22 having a metal bottom 22 having a similar shape so as to be able to complementarily overlap with a circular protrusion 12' formed in the bottom of the outer container. A circular protrusion 22' is formed upward, and a large number of small holes 23 are formed in this circular protrusion 22'. The metal bottom 22 has a flange 22a formed on its outer periphery in the direction in which the circular protrusion 22' projects, and a flange 22a formed between this flange and the outer periphery of the circular protrusion 22'. A cylindrical inner container body 21 is received within the annular groove. Further, a handle 24 is erected at the center of the inner surface of the circular protrusion 22', and a loop-shaped grip 24' is provided at its free end. A lid 26 having an axial flange 27 is fitted onto the upper end of the cylindrical body 21 . A coil-shaped grip 28 is provided at the center of the outer surface of the lid 26. Note that the inner container body 21 and the bottom portion 22 are separably connected to each other as shown in FIG.

A glass steam condenser 30 is fitted into the free end of the outer container 10;
is made by connecting a plurality of glass tubes 31, preferably two or three, whose diameter is enlarged at the middle part, and the upper part of each glass tube has a funnel shape that projects inward, and a groove. A wrapper tube 32 defining a vent hole 33 at the bottom is provided.

Next, how to use this embodiment will be explained.

After putting ingredients for Chinese medicine or tea into the inner container 20, insert it into the outer container 10, inject water from the upper part of the outer container 10, and then add a steam condenser 3 to the upper part.
0, attach the extractor to the circular protrusion 12'
It is heated by an electric heater (not shown) housed inside. The bottoms of the inner and outer containers are both made of metal and form inward circular protrusions.
Heat is intensively transferred to the circular protrusion at the bottom of the inner container 20, and herbal medicine etc. can be well infused. On the other hand, since the upper end of the inner container 20 is covered with a lid having a flange 27, the bubbles do not overflow outside the inner container even when boiling carrots, etc., but rather are trapped inside the inner container, so that the bubbles become a heat insulating material. The heat supplied from the electric heater can be concentrated inside the inner container. Moreover, the water vapor in the inner container 20 is slightly pressurized,
As water vapor condenses, the circular protrusion 2
Through the small hole 23 opened at 2', the extract obtained by brewing Chinese herbal medicine etc. is allowed to flow to the outside of the inner container.

In addition, after thoroughly infusing the herbal medicine etc.,
When the inner container is scooped out of the extractor using the scoop 24' provided in the extractor, the residue of the herbal medicine, floating dregs, etc. will not be mixed into the medicinal solution, and the inner container can be taken out of the extractor. After that, by lifting the main body 21 so as to separate it from the bottom part 22, it is possible to easily remove the residue of Chinese herbal medicine, etc., floating dregs, etc.

Steam condenser 30 fitted to the top of the outer vessel
This condenses the steam generated from the outer container 10 and collects the condensed water into the outer container 10, and minimizes the loss of medicinal ingredients that may be contained in the steam and leak outside when decocting Chinese medicine etc. can be made into In particular, by forming the steam condenser 30 by multiple stages of polymerization of pipes 31 whose diameter is enlarged at the intermediate portion, the surface area of the steam condenser 30 can be increased and the condensing action of water vapor can be promoted. If the heat supplied from the outside is appropriately adjusted, almost no water vapor is discharged to the outside of the steam condenser 30 through the uppermost vent 33.
