Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of capsule production equipment, and in particular to a capsule drying device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of capsules, there will be moisture on the capsule shell. In order to ensure that the capsule's smoothness, toughness, moisture content and other indicators meet the requirements, it is necessary to use drying equipment to dry the capsules after granulation.

[0003] At present, the existing drying equipment first heats the air in the drying box through a heater, and then stirs the capsule shells, and evaporates the moisture on the capsule shells with the assistance of hot air, thereby achieving the drying effect.

[0004] However, during the stirring process, the stirring blades may come into contact with the capsules, causing scratches on the capsule surface, thereby reducing the production quality of the capsules. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the production quality of capsules, the present application provides a capsule drying device.

[0006] The present application provides a capsule drying device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A capsule drying device, comprising:

[0008] A drying box with a feeding port at the top;

[0009] A vibration plate is slidably connected to the drying box through a vibration assembly, the sliding direction of the vibration plate is the vertical axis direction of the drying box, and a through hole is provided on the vibration plate, the aperture of the through hole is larger than the capsule diameter, and one capsule can be accommodated at a time;

[0010] A drying plate is fixedly arranged in the drying box and is located below the vibration plate, and the drying plate is arranged in parallel with the vibration plate; a bearing hole is arranged on the drying plate, and the bearing hole is located directly below the through hole; a hemispherical cover is fixedly arranged at one end of the bearing hole away from the through hole, and a plurality of ventilation holes are opened on the hemispherical cover;

[0011] A vibration assembly, disposed on the vibration plate and used to guide the wet capsule from the through hole to the bearing hole;

[0012] The drying component is arranged around the bearing hole and is used for drying the wet capsules in the bearing hole from different directions.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the capsule group is put into the drying box through the feeding port. When the capsule group falls onto the vibration plate, the vibration plate transmits the weight signal of the capsule group to the vibration component. After the vibration component responds to the weight signal, it drives the vibration plate to vibrate, and the bearing plate separates the capsule group. The single capsule shell is separated from the vibration plate along the through hole and falls into the bearing hole on the drying plate.

[0014] When all the capsules are separated from the vibration plate, the drying assembly dries the wet capsules in the bearing holes from different directions to ensure that every part of the capsule can get uniform heat distribution, thereby achieving efficient drying and easily improving the production quality of the capsules.

[0015] Optionally, the vibration component includes:

[0016] A carrying plate is slidably connected to the drying plate and is arranged parallel to the vibration plate. A transfer hole is opened on the carrying plate, and the transfer hole is located directly below the through hole;

[0017] Two groups of springs are respectively located at the two ends of the bearing plate, each group of springs is provided with a plurality of springs, the two ends of the springs are respectively fixedly connected to the bearing plate and the vibration plate, and the springs are used to drive the vibration plate to vibrate reciprocatingly;

[0018] Two sets of sensing parts are respectively located at two ends of the supporting plate, and the sensing parts include:

[0019] An extruded telescopic rod, a fixed end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying box, and a movable end of which is fixedly connected to the bearing plate;

[0020] A monitoring box is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying box and is connected to the rodless cavity of the extruded telescopic rod via a drainage pipe, and water flows through the monitoring box and the rodless cavity of the extruded telescopic rod through the drainage pipe;

[0021] Among them, a sensing block 1 is fixedly arranged at the top of the monitoring box, a sensing block 2 is slidably connected in the monitoring box, a floating plate is fixedly connected to the side of the sensing block 2 away from the sensing block 1, and when the sensing block 1 abuts against the sensing block 2, the sensing block 1 outputs a sensing signal;

[0022] as well as,

[0023] The driving part is arranged between the vibration plate and the supporting plate and is used for driving the vibration plate to vibrate.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the capsule group falls onto the vibration plate, under the action of the gravity of the capsule group, the vibration plate slides downward, the vibration plate squeezes the spring, the compression amount of the spring increases, the spring squeezes the bearing plate to move, the bearing plate squeezes the movable end of the extrusion telescopic rod to move, the volume of the rodless cavity of the extrusion telescopic rod is reduced, and the water in the rodless cavity of the extrusion telescopic rod enters the monitoring box along the drainage tube;

[0025] Under the buoyancy of water, the float plate drives the induction block 2 to move, and the induction block 1 abuts against the induction block 2. The induction block 1 outputs a sensing signal to the driving unit. The driving unit responds to the sensing signal output by the induction block 1 and drives the vibration plate to vibrate, so that the wet capsule is easy to separate, ensuring that the capsule can smoothly slide from the through hole to the transfer hole and then enter the bearing hole, thereby helping to reduce damage to the capsule during the sliding process and thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0026] Optionally, the driving unit includes:

[0027] An integrated controller is fixed on the drying box and is electrically connected to the induction block;

[0028] A motor is fixed on the drying box and is electrically connected to the integrated controller, wherein the integrated controller responds to the sensing signal output by the sensing block 1 and is used to control the start of the motor;

[0029] The cam is coaxially fixed with the output shaft of the motor and is located between the vibration plate and the bearing plate, wherein in an initial state, the cam is located on a side close to the bearing plate.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, when the capsule group falls onto the vibration plate, the vibration plate slides downward under the gravity of the capsule group, and the vibration plate moves to a position close to the cam, at which time the spring is in a compressed state;

[0031] The induction block 1 outputs an induction signal to the integrated controller. The integrated controller responds to the induction signal output by the induction block 1 and controls the motor to start. The output shaft of the motor drives the cam to rotate. The tip of the cam squeezes the vibration plate. The elongation of the spring increases. Under the elastic force of the spring, the vibration plate vibrates. During the continuous squeezing process of the cam, the vibration plate continues to vibrate.

[0032] Under the action of vibration force, the capsule cluster separates, and a single capsule shell detaches from the vibration plate along the through hole. Since there is residual moisture on the capsule shell, when the capsule shell is in a vertical state, the moisture is concentrated on the bottom end of the capsule shell. Under the action of gravity, the capsule shell falls vertically into the bearing hole on the drying plate. The hemispherical cover supports the capsule shell, so that it is easy to ensure that the capsule maintains an appropriate speed and spacing during the sliding process, avoiding the accumulation or adhesion of the capsule on the drying plate, which helps to improve the drying efficiency and ensure that the capsule can be dried evenly and quickly.

[0033] Optionally, a guide tube is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the through hole, and the guide tube is slidably inserted into the adapter hole.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, it can ensure that the wet capsules accurately fall into the bearing holes of the drying plate from the through holes of the vibrating plate, thereby reducing the deviation of the capsules during the sliding process and further improving the accuracy of the drying process.

[0035] Optionally, one end of the guiding connecting pipe away from the through hole extends towards the direction close to the bearing hole.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the existence of the guiding connecting pipe, the contact between the wet capsules and other parts of the equipment during the sliding process is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the capsules due to collision.

[0037] Optionally, the drying assembly includes:

[0038] A liquid level sensor, fixedly connected to the movable end of the extrusion telescopic rod and electrically connected to the integrated controller. Wherein, the liquid level sensor is used to output the liquid level height signal in the rodless cavity of the extrusion telescopic rod, and the integrated controller responds to the liquid level height signal in the rodless cavity of the extrusion telescopic rod output by the liquid level sensor and is used to control the motor to stop;

[0039] An air delivery pump, fixedly arranged on the drying box and electrically connected to the integrated controller. The air inlet end of the air delivery pump is connected to an external hot air source;

[0040] A first air delivery pipe, one end of which is connected in series with the air outlet end of the air delivery pump, and the other end is communicated with a docking pipe. The port of the docking pipe is located directly below the hemispherical cover;

[0041] A second air delivery pipe, passing through the drying plate, and one end of which is communicated with the end of the first air delivery pipe close to the air delivery pump;

[0042] A plurality of jet pipes are uniformly arranged around the axis of the bearing hole. One ends of the plurality of jet pipes are commonly communicated with the end of the second air delivery pipe away from the first air delivery pipe, and the other ends are all communicated with the hole wall of the bearing hole. The end of the jet pipe communicated with the hole wall of the bearing hole is inclined in the horizontal direction towards the direction close to the hemispherical cover.

[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, when all the capsules are separated from the vibrating plate, the movable end of the extrusion telescopic rod resets. Under the action of negative pressure, the liquid in the rodless cavity of the extrusion telescopic rod flows back to the initial state. The liquid level sensor outputs the liquid level height signal in the rodless cavity of the extrusion telescopic rod, and the integrated controller responds to the liquid level height signal in the rodless cavity of the extrusion telescopic rod output by the liquid level sensor and controls the motor to stop;

[0044] After the motor stops rotating, the integrated controller controls the air delivery pump to extract hot air, and the hot air enters the first air delivery pipe and the second air delivery pipe. The first air delivery pipe blows hot air to the hemispherical cover, and blows air to the bottom end of the wet capsule through the ventilation holes, and the hot air flow applies a thrust to the bottom end of the capsule.

[0045] At the same time, the second air delivery pipe transports the hot air to the jet pipe. Since the jet pipe is inclined, the hot air flow generates an inclined acting force on the side wall of the capsule. Through the decomposition of the force, the horizontal forces of multiple jet pipes on the side wall of the capsule reach balance, and the forces received by the capsule in the vertical direction also reach a balanced state, that is, the self-gravity plus the gravity of the moisture plus the vertical downward component force of the side wall is equal to the thrust of the hot air flow on the bottom end of the capsule plus the supporting force of the hemispherical cover.

[0046] Through the action of the hot air flow in multiple directions, the hot air flow can cover the whole body of the capsule, ensuring the uniformity of the drying effect, avoiding the problems of insufficient drying or over-drying, thereby improving the utilization rate of hot air and the drying efficiency.

[0047] Optionally, it further includes a sterilization component, and the sterilization component includes:

[0048] A sterilization box, fixedly connected to the drying box, and an ultraviolet lamp is fixedly installed in the sterilization box;

[0049] A suspended matter sensor, fixedly connected in the drying box and located between the bearing plate and the drying plate, the suspended matter sensor is electrically connected to the integrated controller and is used for outputting a signal of the number of capsules floating in the air;

[0050] A conduction pipe, one end of which is communicated with the drying box and is located between the bearing plate and the drying plate, and the other end of the conduction pipe is communicated with the sterilization box;

[0051] An air extraction pump, connected in series on the conduction pipe and electrically connected to the integrated controller, wherein the integrated controller responds to the signal of the number of capsules floating in the air output by the suspended matter sensor and is used for controlling the start and stop of the air extraction pump.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, after the moisture on the capsule evaporates, due to the reduction of the vertically downward acting force on the capsule and the vertically upward force being greater than the vertically downward force, the dried capsule flies out of the bearing hole. Since the hot air flow output by the first air delivery pipe continuously exists and applies a force to the dried capsule, the dried capsule floats in the air.

[0053] The suspended matter sensor outputs a signal of the number of capsules floating in the air to the integrated controller. The integrated controller responds to the signal of the number of capsules floating in the air output by the suspended matter sensor. When the number reaches a preset value, the integrated controller controls the vacuum pump to start. Under the action of suction, the capsules floating in the air enter the sterilization box through the conducting tube. Under the action of ultraviolet rays, the capsules are sterilized, which can further improve the sanitary standards and product quality of the capsules.

[0054] When the number of capsules floating in the air reaches zero, the integrated controller controls the vacuum pump to stop, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency through real-time monitoring and intelligent control.

[0055] Optionally, a material taking port is provided on the sterilization box, a drawer is provided at the material taking port, and the drawer is slidably connected to the sterilization box.

[0056] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator only needs to pull the drawer to take out the sterilized capsules inside without opening the entire sterilization box, which greatly simplifies the operation process and improves the convenience and safety of the operation.

[0057] Optionally, a handle is fixedly provided on the drawer.

[0058] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator can easily open or close the drawer by holding the handle and applying appropriate force, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of the operation.

[0059] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0060] By providing the bearing plate, the spring, the sensing part and the driving part, it is ensured that the capsule can smoothly slide from the through hole to the transfer hole and then enter the bearing hole, thereby helping to reduce the damage of the capsule during the sliding process, thereby improving the drying efficiency;

[0061] By setting the liquid level sensor, air pump, air pipe 1, air pipe 2 and air jet pipe, the uniformity of drying effect is ensured, the problem of insufficient drying or excessive drying is avoided, thereby improving the utilization rate of hot air and drying efficiency;

[0062] By arranging a sterilization box, a suspended matter sensor, a conducting tube and an air pump, the capsules can be sterilized under the action of ultraviolet rays, which can further improve the sanitary standards and product quality of the capsules. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0088] When in use, the capsule mass is put from the feeding port 11 onto the vibration plate 2.

[0099] At the same time, the air supply pipe 54 delivers the hot air to the air injection pipe 55. The hot air flow exerts an inclined force on the side wall of the capsule, and the force on the capsule in the vertical direction also reaches a balanced state, so that the hot air flow can cover the entire capsule, ensuring the uniformity of the drying effect, avoiding the problem of insufficient drying or excessive drying, and thus improving the utilization rate of the hot air and the drying efficiency.

[0104] The air pump 64 is connected in series to the conducting tube 63 and is electrically connected to the integrated controller 441 , wherein the integrated controller 441 responds to the signal of the number of capsules floating in the air output by the suspended matter sensor 62 and is used to control the start and stop of the air pump 64 .

[0105] When in use, after the water on the capsule evaporates, the vertical downward force on the capsule decreases, and the vertical upward force is greater than the vertical downward force, so that the dried capsule flies out of the bearing hole 31, and the hot air flow output by the air delivery pipe 53 exerts force on the dried capsule, so that the dried capsule floats in the air;

[0106] The suspended matter sensor 62 outputs a signal of the number of capsules floating in the air to the integrated controller 441. The integrated controller 441 responds to the signal of the number of capsules floating in the air output by the suspended matter sensor 62. When the number reaches a preset value, the integrated controller 441 controls the vacuum pump 64 to start. Under the action of suction, the capsules floating in the air enter the sterilization box 61 through the conducting pipe 63. Under the action of ultraviolet rays, the capsules are sterilized, which can further improve the hygiene standard and product quality of the capsules.

[0107] When the number of capsules floating in the air is zero, the integrated controller 441 controls the vacuum pump 64 to stop, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency through real-time monitoring and intelligent control.

[0108] The implementation principle of a capsule drying device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: a capsule mass is put from a feeding port 11 onto a vibration plate 2, and under the gravity of the capsule mass, the vibration plate 2 slides downward, and the vibration plate 2 moves to a position close to the driving part 44, and the vibration plate 2 squeezes the spring 42, and the spring 42 outputs a gravity signal to the sensing part 43, and the sensing part 43 outputs a gravity signal in response to the spring 42, and drives the driving part 44 to rotate, and the driving part 44 continuously squeezes the vibration plate 2, and under the elastic force of the spring 42, the vibration plate 2 continuously vibrates;

[0109] Under the action of vibration force, the capsule group separates, and a single capsule shell enters the guide tube 22 along the through hole 21, moves along the guide tube 22, and then leaves the vibration plate 2. Under the action of water gravity, the capsule shell vertically falls into the bearing hole 31 on the drying plate 3, and the hemispherical cover 32 supports the capsule shell, so as to easily ensure that the capsule maintains an appropriate speed and spacing during the sliding process, and avoids the capsule from piling up or sticking on the drying plate 3;

[0110] When all the capsules are separated from the vibration plate 2, the movable end of the extrusion telescopic rod 431 is reset, the driving part 44 stops rotating, and the drying component 5 outputs a hot air flow, which acts on the bottom and side walls of the capsule. The forces on the capsule in the horizontal and vertical directions are balanced, so that the hot air flow can cover the whole capsule, ensuring the uniformity of the drying effect and avoiding the problem of insufficient drying or excessive drying.

[0111] When the water on the capsule evaporates, the balance force of the capsule in the vertical direction is destroyed, so that the dried capsule flies out of the bearing hole 31, and the hot air flow output by the air delivery pipe 1 53 exerts force on the dried capsule, so that the dried capsule floats in the air;

[0112] The suspended matter sensor 62 outputs a signal indicating the number of capsules floating in the air to the integrated controller 441. The integrated controller 441 responds to the signal indicating the number of capsules floating in the air output by the suspended matter sensor 62. When the preset value is reached, the integrated controller 441 controls the vacuum pump 64 to start. Under the action of suction, the capsules floating in the air enter the sterilization box 61 through the conducting tube 63. Under the action of ultraviolet rays, the capsules are sterilized, which can further improve the hygiene standards and product quality of the capsules, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0113] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
