A user checks the broken pump through the discharged steam. Therefore, the user takes prompt action on the broken pump.

Description

The herb medicine abstraction machine of water and air cooling device

The present invention relates to a herbal extractor, and more specifically, to separate the herbal medicine from the medicinal herb reservoir by centrifugation of steamed herbal medicines while circulating and condensing the steam generated during the steaming process as a natural convection principle, containing the active ingredient of the herbal medicine It is related to a herbal medicine extractor using a distillation cycle of water and air-cooled mixed to extract the concentrated liquid back to the medicinal herb reservoir and extract the concentrated herbal medicine without unnecessary air release of the active ingredient medicinal herbs.

In general, it is well known that herbal medicine is provided as a dry matter (습기) without moisture for long-term storage of medicinal plants, and in order to drink it, it is well known that the active ingredient contained in the herbal medicine is extracted by taking water.

In order to extract the liquid herbal medicine from these herbal medicines, the herbal medicines were put together with water in the medicine bath, heated with a heating medium such as an electric heater, and steamed, and the steamed herbal medicines were transferred to the extractor again to extract the liquid herbal medicines.

This method of extracting herbal medicines is inconvenient to work by separating steaming and extracting herbal medicines, and in the process of transferring steamed herbal medicines to extractors, inadvertent loss of medicinal herbs as well as the problem of mixing foreign substances can not be excluded at all. There was this.

In particular, the use of the prior art in the oriental medicine clinic in which the handling of the herbal medicine is a large amount had a disadvantage in poor workability.

Therefore, in recent years, the technology of steaming and extracting herbal medicines in a single device has been put to practical use to compensate for the disadvantages of the above-described devices, and such a device has also been disclosed in various technologies.

Looking at an example of the technique of such a herbal extractor, the method of extracting steamed herbal medicines, such as domestic utility model publication Nos. 89-7518 and 90-9374 by the pressing plate, and domestic utility model announcement No. 93-5078 Steamed Chinese herbal medicines, such as Ho, are classified by centrifugal separation method of extracting liquid herbal medicines from a medicine storage container by rotating a motor.

However, the herbal extraction method is a method of extracting the herbal medicine by pressing or centrifugation after a certain time by keeping the temperature and pressure in the container reaches a high temperature and high pressure and maintains a closed state by the lid body. There is a disadvantage that the active ingredient of the herbal medicine is destroyed by high heat, and by maintaining a high pressure and high temperature in a closed container there is a disadvantage that the natural convection does not occur, so that the active ingredient of the herbal medicine is not uniformly steamed as a whole.

In other words, the herbal medicine extraction method of the herbal medicine by the high temperature heating is a quickness of the operation that can extract the herbal medicine in a short time, but the disadvantage that the active ingredient of the medicine is easily destroyed, the odor based on the extracted herbal medicine is contained as it is You can not ignore the inconvenience of drinking.

Since ancient times, our ancestors put water and herbal medicines in pots of Onggi and slowly heat them with mulberry charcoal, which has weak thermal power, and condensed water in Onggi. Water vapor, which is slowly evaporated while heating, is removed through the paper and partly with the fragrance material, and the rest is liquefied by heat exchange with the atmosphere.

As mentioned above, the water in the bath is a natural convection, so that the medicinal effect slowly comes from the whole of the medicinal herb, and the odor and bitter taste of the medicinal herb is released along with some water vapor. Minimizing odors has recently been proven to be an effective method in oriental medicine.

However, the method of extracting the traditional Chinese medicine has been occasionally used in homes until now, but it is very difficult to extract a large amount of herbal medicine in the place where a large amount of herbal medicine is handled, such as a Chinese medicine medicinal or oriental medicine.

Due to this, the herbal extractor using mechanical distillation method has been put into practical use so that the extraction of the herbal medicine can be provided in a large amount while utilizing the effectiveness of the conventional herbal extract method.

The herbal extractor using the distillation method is a method using a distillation cycle to form a circulation pipe to the outside of the container to discharge some of the water vapor circulated to the outside while condensing the rest by a heat exchanger to circulate the liquid back into the container.

The cyclic herbal extractor is divided into air-cooled distillation method and water-cooled distillation method according to the heat exchange method.

The above-mentioned air-cooled distillation method can be exemplified by Korean Utility Model Publication No. 91-6954, in which the liquid liquefied by forced air cooling of the water vapor discharged through the circulation pipe in the heat exchanger is returned to the container body and is not liquefied. Unsatisfied water vapor is designed to continuously evaporate a certain amount of water while repeatedly discharging it to the outside through the valve.

This line technology is forced to blow air to the heat exchanger by a fan motor to cool the water vapor circulated in the heat exchanger. Due to the rapid increase in the temperature of the air, the heat exchange rate drops sharply, and thus the cooling efficiency decreases, so that the active ingredient in the water vapor is almost released into the atmosphere.In the climatic conditions such as the summer, the active ingredients of the herbal medicines are released into the atmosphere. There was a disadvantage of falling ingredients.

The latter type of water-cooled distillation can be mentioned in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 94-4400, which refers to the condensation room of the condenser through the heat steam discharge pipe connected to the lid and the vertical pipe connected to the bottom of the Chinese medicine container. The liquid is liquefied by the cooling water tank provided in the condenser while being exhausted to reduce the liquid to the herbal medicine via the vertical tube again.

However, this source technology simply constitutes a cooling water container so that the cooling water can be replenished from the top inside the condenser. In operation of the device, at first, liquefaction is performed by heat exchange with water vapor discharged by the cooling water stored in the cooling water container. This easily proceeds, but the cooling water stored in the limited space absorbs the heat of the water vapor over time, the cooling efficiency is sharply lowered and the effective exchange of the herbal medicine as it is released to the atmosphere due to the reduction of heat exchange, condensation In the process of reducing the condensed water to the herbal medicine via the vertical tube, the liquid liquefied by the high temperature steam discharged through the vertical tube was vaporized by heat exchange again, so that the circulation of the condensed water was not easy.

The present invention has been researched and developed to effectively solve the disadvantages of the prior art as described above,

An object of the present invention is to condense the water vapor generated during the steaming of the herbal medicine extractor of the herbal extractor by the cooling water circulated by forced pressure circulating back to the herbal extractor, the cooling water heated by heat exchange in the condensation process of the steam is again passed through the heat exchanger It is to provide a herbal extractor using a distillation cycle of water, air-cooled mixture to provide a condensation of water vapor more effectively by the cycle of re-cooling and circulating by forced air.

An object of the present invention is to provide a herbal extractor using a distillation cycle of water and air cooling to maximize the reliability of the device by continuously maintaining a constant condensation efficiency of water vapor for a long time operation by the efficient operation of the cooling water during operation of the device have.

The purpose of the present invention is to ensure that the medicinal herb content is contained in the herbal medicine as much as possible by condensing and reducing most of the water vapor containing the active ingredient at the same time as the water vapor generated during the steaming process is condensed with a strong volatility during the condensation process It is to provide a herbal extractor using a distillation cycle of water, air-cooled mixed to minimize the adverse odor to extract a good herbal medicine.

An object of the present invention is to provide a herbal extractor using a distillation cycle of water, air-cooled mixed to maximize the reliability of the device operation can be promptly taken to confirm the correlation when a failure occurs during the operation of the device.
