1. Introduction

Traditional Chinese Medicine Ultrasonic Extraction Machine, as a new type of extraction equipment, has been widely used in the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction in recent years. Compared with traditional extraction methods, it greatly improves the efficiency and purity of traditional Chinese medicine extraction due to its physical properties and ease of operation, becoming an important means of modern production of traditional Chinese medicine. This article will start from the principle and deeply explore its advantages and application in traditional Chinese medicine extraction, providing reference for the further development of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology.

2、 Working principle

Its working principle mainly relies on the physical effects generated by ultrasound in liquid media. When the high-frequency oscillation signal generated by the ultrasonic signal generator is converted into high-frequency mechanical oscillation by the transducer and propagated into the liquid, tens of thousands of tiny bubbles will be generated. These bubbles form and grow in the negative pressure zone during propagation, and quickly close in the positive pressure zone, forming the so-called 'cavitation effect'. This cavitation effect can generate instantaneous high pressure, causing impact and damage to the cell wall of the material, thereby rapidly releasing the effective components inside the cell into the solvent.

3、 Advantages of Ultrasonic Extraction Machine in Traditional Chinese Medicine Extraction

1. High extraction efficiency

The ultrasonic extraction machine can effectively destroy the cell wall of traditional Chinese medicine through the cavitation effect generated by its high-frequency vibration, allowing the effective components inside the cells to be fully released into the solvent. Compared to traditional methods such as soaking and boiling, it can greatly shorten the extraction time and improve the extraction efficiency. Meanwhile, by adjusting the frequency and power of ultrasound, selective extraction of different components can also be achieved, thereby improving the purity of the extract.

2. Low extraction temperature

There is no need for high temperature heating during the extraction process, which avoids the damage of heat sensitive components in traditional Chinese medicine caused by high temperature. This low-temperature extraction method not only preserves the active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, but also ensures the activity and stability of the extract. In addition, low-temperature extraction is also beneficial for energy conservation and reducing environmental pollution.

3. Easy to operate and control

The operation is relatively simple, just set the extraction parameters, and the device can automatically complete the extraction process. At the same time, by adjusting parameters such as frequency, power, and extraction time of ultrasound, precise control of the extraction process can be achieved to meet the extraction needs of different Chinese medicinal materials.

4. Wide adaptability

Ultrasonic extraction machines are not limited by the types and properties of Chinese medicinal materials, and are suitable for the extraction of the vast majority of Chinese medicinal materials. Both water-soluble and fat soluble components can be effectively extracted. This broad adaptability makes it have broad application prospects in the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction.

4、 Application of Ultrasonic Extraction Machine in Traditional Chinese Medicine Extraction

1. Single herb extraction

For the extraction of single Chinese medicinal herbs, ultrasonic extraction machines can achieve rapid and efficient extraction of active ingredients. By optimizing the extraction parameters, selective extraction of different components can be achieved, resulting in higher purity extracts.

2. Compound Traditional Chinese Medicine Extraction

It also plays an important role in the extraction of compound traditional Chinese medicine. By adjusting the frequency and power of ultrasound, it is possible to simultaneously extract the effective ingredients of different Chinese medicinal materials in the compound, thereby maintaining the overall therapeutic effect of the compound Chinese medicine.

3. Research and development of new traditional Chinese medicine drugs

In the process of new drug development, it can be used for screening and extracting active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine. By extracting different traditional Chinese medicinal materials with ultrasound and combining them with modern separation technology, active ingredients with potential medicinal value can be quickly discovered, providing a material basis for the development of new drugs.

5、 Application case analysis

Taking a pharmaceutical company as an example, the company uses ultrasonic extraction machines to extract and produce traditional Chinese medicinal materials. By comparing the effects of traditional extraction methods and ultrasonic extraction methods, it was found that they not only improve extraction efficiency and purity, but also reduce production costs and environmental pollution. At the same time, the enterprise is also used for screening and extracting active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine, providing strong support for new drug research and development.
