Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a propolis capsule processing device, in particular to a propolis capsule cooling and drying mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Propolis capsules are usually made of propolis extract and capsule shells. Propolis extract is a pure propolis extract obtained by collecting propolis from the beehive of bees and extracting it through a series of processing techniques such as cleaning and processing; the capsule shell is usually a mixture of gelatin and other required ingredients, which is heated, dissolved and molded to obtain a capsule shell. When preparing propolis capsules, especially soft capsules, the soft capsules have a certain temperature and humidity during the pressing process, and their surfaces are sticky, so they need to be air-dried, dehumidified and shaped. The equipment for air-drying and shaping the capsules usually uses a rotary oven, but because the capsules have a certain weight and the surface of the capsules is in a wet state, during the rotation of the cage, the capsules are easily accumulated at the bottom of the cage and adhere to each other or adhere to the wall of the cage and rotate with the rotation of the cage, making it difficult for the drying wind to fully contact the capsules through the gaps between the capsules, reducing the air-drying area of the capsules and reducing the drying efficiency.

[0021] Example:
[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a cooling and drying mechanism for propolis capsules comprises an outer shell 1, a rotating cage 2 is arranged in the outer shell 1, an air intake assembly 3 is arranged below the rotating cage 2, a filter assembly 4 is arranged between the air intake assembly 3 and the rotating cage 2, a plurality of fixed brackets 5 are arranged on the filter assembly 4, a rotating seat 51 is arranged on the fixed bracket 5, a plurality of rotationally symmetrical blades 52 are arranged on the rotating seat 51, and disturbance bristles 53 in contact with the rotating cage 2 are arranged on the surface of the blades 52; a collision ball 6 is arranged above the rotating cage 2, and the collision ball 6 is connected to the outer shell 1 via a connecting rope 61.
[0023] The capsules are introduced into the rotating cage 2, and dry gas is introduced into the rotating cage 2 through the air inlet component 3. After the dry gas is filtered by the filter component 4, the cleanliness of the dry gas is guaranteed to avoid secondary contamination of the capsules. At the same time, the dry gas will blow the blades 52 on the filter component 4 to make it rotate, so that the disturbance brushes on the blades 52 contact the capsules in the rotating cage 2, and move the capsules to separate them, thereby reducing the adhesion of the capsules to each other, and leaving gaps for the dry gas to pass through the capsules and enter the rotating cage 2 to fully contact the capsules, thereby improving the drying efficiency. The capsules are dried while rotating in the rotating cage 2, and the rotating cage 2 is hit by the collision ball 6 while rotating, so that the rotating cage 2 vibrates to a certain extent, and the capsules adhering to the rotating cage 2 fall off, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0024] The rotating cage 2 rotates in the outer shell 1 via the rotating shaft 21 , and the rotating shaft 21 is driven to rotate by the motor 22 .
[0025] Several groups of spoiler frames are arranged in the rotating cage 2 along the radial direction. The spoiler frames are composed of several L-shaped spoiler rods 7 distributed along the circumferential direction. The L-shaped spoiler rods 7 are covered with a moisture-absorbing quick-drying layer 71 .
[0026] When the rotating cage 2 rotates, the capsules are moved and turned by the L-shaped spoiler rods 7, so that the capsules are heated more evenly, adhesion is avoided, and the drying efficiency is improved; the L-shaped spoiler rods 7 are made of flexible materials to avoid damage to the capsules. The moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 71 coated on the L-shaped spoiler rods 7 is made of moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fibers, and has numerous pores or grooves on the surface. By using the capillary effect, it can quickly absorb moisture on the surface of the capsules in contact with the L-shaped spoiler rods 7, and then diffuse and transfer it to the outside of the rotating cage 2 for discharge, thereby accelerating the drying speed of the capsules.
[0027] The collision ball 6 includes a gravity ball 62, the outside of the gravity ball 62 is wrapped with a protective layer 63, and the outside of the protective layer 63 is wrapped with a water absorption layer 64.

[0028] The air intake assembly 3 includes a fan 31 , which is connected to a jet pipe 32 extending into the outer shell 1 , and a plurality of jet heads 33 are arranged on the jet pipe 32 .
[0029] The outer shell 1 is provided with an exhaust hole 11 to discharge moisture.
[0030] The rotating cage 2 is a mesh structure, and the inner layer of the rotating cage 2 is coated with an anti-sticking layer to prevent the capsules from sticking to the inner wall of the rotating cage 2, so that the capsules are dried more fully.
[0031] The filter assembly 4 includes a filter support 41, on which a particle filter layer 42, a water absorption filter layer 43 and an odor filter layer 44 are sequentially arranged. The particle filter layer 42, the water absorption filter layer 43 and the odor filter layer 44 can be made of materials such as filter mesh, filter cotton, and activated carbon. The gas introduced into the rotating cage 2 is filtered by the filter assembly 4 to ensure that the gas is dry and clean gas, thereby avoiding secondary contamination of the capsule.
