Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Related Technical Field> The present invention relates to a cooling device for a decoction pot in which a steam condenser is provided on the upper part of a heating container, and in particular, the present invention relates to a cooling device for a decoction pot, which is provided with a steam condenser on the top of a heating container, and in particular, the present invention relates to a cooling device for a decoction pot, which is provided with a steam condenser on the top of a heating container. Relating to a cooling device for a decoction pot that is equipped with a cooling fan to ensure effective heat exchange in the steam condenser, thereby minimizing the leakage of medicinal ingredients discharged to the outside. It is.

《Prior art and its problems》 Traditionally, most decoction devices have a heating container made of glass or other material placed on top of an electric heating device, and medicinal ingredients and water are poured into the container to make a decoction. However, when decocting a Chinese medicinal material that foams strongly, such as ginseng, there are drawbacks such as overflowing to the outside of the heating container and the medicinal ingredients being contained in the foam and flowing out. Furthermore, even when decoctions of traditional Chinese medicinal materials that do not produce strong foaming occur, steam is generated when heated and discharged to the outside, resulting in the drawback that medicinal ingredients are contained in the steam and discharged.

In particular, water ginseng and raw ginseng are not easily digested and absorbed as they are, and there are concerns about allergies and toxicity, so they are heat-treated to enhance their digestive and absorption effects and pharmacological effects. The heat treatment process is boiling or steaming at 95°C to 100°C for about 2.5 to 3 hours. During heat treatment, the most important components of carrots, such as TERPEN components and glycosides, which have strong evaporation properties, evaporate and their medicinal efficacy is greatly reduced. Therefore, in order to solve this problem in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present applicant has attached it to the upper part of the container to cool the bubbles or steam generated when decocting Chinese medicinal materials in the first or second stage, and then heats it as condensed water. Developed a steam condenser that allows the steam to flow back into the container and filed Korean Practical Application No. 86.
−12566 was filed.

The steam condenser in Korean Practical Application No. 86-12566 is used by being connected to the upper part of a heating container, and bubbles or steam generated from the heating container is condensed while exchanging heat in the steam condenser. hand,
The steam flows down along the inner surface of the condenser and flows back into the heating container, making it a practical device that can effectively reduce the outflow of medicinal ingredients.

However, even when the decoction pot is used especially in the summer when the temperature rises or when the indoor temperature is high, compared to a decoction pot without a steam condenser, it is possible to greatly reduce the outflow of the medicinal ingredients. However,
With only the natural cooling effect of the steam condenser, heat exchange is insufficient, and the bubbles or steam generated in the heating container cannot be effectively condensed, and the steam containing medicinal ingredients that has not yet been condensed is discharged to the outside. There was a problem.

《Problems to be solved by the invention》 The purpose of the invention is to solve the problems mentioned above.
To provide a cooling device for a decoction device which can almost completely prevent medicinal components from flowing out from the decoction device during the process of decoction of Chinese medicinal materials regardless of the season or place where the decoction device is used.

<<Means for Solving the Problem>> In order to achieve the above object, an electric heating device provided at the lowest level, a heating container located above the electric heating device for brewing medicinal materials, and an upper part of the heating container are provided. a steam condenser, which is located in the heating container, and whose interiors are communicated with each other to condense and flow down steam evaporated from the heating container; the electric heating device, the heating container, and the steam condenser, which are stacked on each other; and a fan guard that is fixed to one side of the frame and combines a cooling fan and an electric motor that sends cooling air to the steam condenser in order to forcibly cool the steam condenser. It is characterized by

<<Example>> Hereinafter, an example according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

That is, FIG. 1 shows a frame 5 that surrounds and attaches a decoction pot 1, which is comprised of an electric heating device 2, a heating container 3, and a steam condenser 4, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. This frame 5 is constructed by disposing circular annular frames 5' made of synthetic resin or metal at appropriate positions in the upper stage, lower stage, and in the middle, and fastening the outer peripheral surface with a plurality of support plates 5''. It is.

Further, the present invention includes a fan guard 8 in which an electric motor 6 and a cooling fan 7 are coupled to the upper surface of the annular frame 5' located in the middle of the frame 5 having the above-described structure.
are fixed with fixing screws 9. In this case, it is preferable for the cooling effect of the electric motor 6 to provide the fan guard 8 so that the electric motor 6 is located on the inside and the cooling fan 7 is placed on the outside. Further, as the power supplied to the electric motor 6, the power drawn into the electric heating device 2 may be used. In addition, 1 in the figure
0 is an electric wire, 11 is a power plug, and 12 is a power outlet.

The present invention configured as described above, as shown in Fig. 3, can be heated by putting water and Chinese medicinal materials or other materials such as tea as needed into the heating container 3 and heating it by turning on the electric heating device 2. The generated bubbles or steam is heat exchanged in the steam condenser 4, and the condensed water that is primarily or secondarily condensed flows downward and flows into the heating container 3 again, so that the medicinal ingredients are discharged to the outside. It can prevent leakage to the maximum extent possible.

In this case, the cooling fan 7 provided outside the steam condenser 4 is driven, and in order to continuously cool the steam condenser 4, heat exchange in the steam condenser 4 is performed more quickly, and the above-mentioned evaporated Coagulation becomes smoother, and the outflow of medicinal ingredients to the outside can be reduced.

On the other hand, the frame 5 has the function of protecting the entire decoction device from external obstacles.

As explained above, the present invention provides a cooling fan 7 having a simple structure to forcibly cool the steam condenser 4, so that the decoction device 1 can be used to decoct medicinal materials regardless of the season or place in which it is used. This is an extremely practical device that can effectively prevent the medicinal ingredients contained in the steam discharged to the outside from leaking out.
