Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a decoction device that automatically boils medicinal herbs etc. for the required time and decocts the required ingredients.

Generally, when making a decoction of medicinal herbs, one day's worth of medicinal herbs is chopped into small pieces, heated in an earthen bottle, kettle, or enameled pot filled with about 20 times as much water, boiled for about 45 minutes, and gently boiled until the amount of water is reduced by half. Immediately after boiling, the slag is removed and the meat is warmed in two to three batches, but as mentioned above, the water is boiled until the amount is reduced by half, so it is necessary to constantly be careful about the amount of water during boiling and to ensure that it does not boil over. .

In particular, when heating with gas, there is a danger that raw gas will flow out due to extinguishing the flame if the rice cooker swells, so you need to be especially careful, but it is also a waste of time to sit around the rice cooker for nearly an hour while it is boiling.

In addition, with conventional methods, there is a risk that the brewing may not be done enough or it may be too boiled.

This invention is an attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the configuration of this invention will be explained below with the help of a diagram.The heater A has a cylindrical outer shell 1 with an opening 2 at the top and a support plate inside the lower part. At step 5, attach the hot plate 3 formed in the shape of a saucer, and
A heating element 4 made of metal resistance wire is integrally assembled in the housing.

Also, a hole 6 is made in the center of the saucer-shaped hot plate 3 and a spring 7 is inserted therein.
Thermostat 8 is placed so that it is constantly pushed upward.

This thermostat 8 has thermostuffs 1 to 10 attached to a heat sensitive body 11 inside a cylindrical heat conductor 9, a spring 7 is inserted along the side wall 12 of the heat conductor 9, and a leg 13 is provided on the side wall 12. .14 are inserted into the holes 15 and 16 of the support plate 5, respectively, and the ends of the hind legs 13 and 14 are bent to prevent them from coming out.The spring 7 is always compressed and pushes up the heat transfer body 9. I am encouraging you to do so.

Further, the top portion 17 of the heat transfer body 9 is positioned to protrude from the upper surface 18 of the hot plate 3.

The support plate 5 is located between the outer shell 1 and the bottom plate 1 of the outer shell 1.
A space 20 is provided between the housing 9 and the housing 9, in which electric wiring, a timer, etc., which will be explained later, are housed.

For this reason, the support plate 5 is structured to cover the lower part of the heating element 4 and also serve as a heat shield so that the upper part of the support plate 5 does not expose the electrical wiring, timer, etc. to high temperatures.

Further, a timer 21 is attached to the outer part 1.

The time required for boiling the timer 21 is set by operating the knob 23; however, by operating the knob 23,
A switch 21a built into the timer 21 is set to close and energizes the heating element 4.

Further, the timer 21 is connected in series with the thermostat 8, and operates when the thermostat 8 reaches a temperature at or near the boiling point 7. As a result of this operation, the timer 21 is energized and operates for a set required time.

During this time, the switch 21a remains closed, but after the required time has passed, the switch 21a is opened and the heating element 4
Formed in such a way that the current is turned off.

In addition, 22 is the shaft of the rotary knob 23 of the timer 21, 24 is the power cord, 25 is the leg attached to the outer shell 1, 34 is the pilot lamp, 35 is the protective resistor of the pilot lamp 34,
36 is an overheat prevention thermostat, and 37 is a temperature fuse.

To explain the heating pan B placed on the heater A configured in this way, the container 26 is placed on the heater A, and the edge of the upper opening 30 of the middle cylinder 29 of the cylindrical body having the rope part 28 is 31 is engaged with the mouth 32 of the container 26, and the inner cylinder 29 is left hanging inside the container 26.

A decoction material is put into this inner cylinder and placed in a state submerged in water 27 of a container 26.

Cover the container 26 prepared in this way with the lid 23, and open the container 26.
Place it on the hot plate 3 through opening 2.

When the switch or timer 21 is operated to close the circuit of the heating element 4, the heating element 4 generates heat, which is transmitted through the hot plate 3 and heats the container 26.

In this way, when the water 27 reaches near its boiling point, it comes into close contact with the bottom of the container 26 and senses the temperature of the water 27, and the thermostat l-8 is activated, which starts energizing the timer 21.
The timer 21 operates for a set required period of time, and then stops energizing the heating element 4.

Therefore, since the water is heated to the required temperature and then boiled for the time set by the timer 21, the degree of infusion is always kept constant.
Unlike traditional decoctions, you don't have to stay by the fire for the required time, that is, until the infusion is finished, so you don't waste time, and you can always infuse in the same state. There is no need to worry.
