[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solution in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0033] A soft capsule drying machine capable of uniform heating comprises a machine body 1, wherein the machine body 1 is hollow inside and has open front and rear end surfaces, and shield plates 2 are hinged at the upper ends of the front and rear end surfaces of the machine body 1, and the shield plates 2 are installed to facilitate maintenance when the device fails, and a feed pipe 10 for introducing soft capsules to be dried is fixedly inserted at the front of the top of the machine body 1, and a plurality of uniformly distributed rollers 3 are rotatably connected between the left and right side walls of the machine body 1 through a rotating shaft 30, and the rollers 3 are used to drive a conveyor belt 4 to operate, and the arc outer walls of the plurality of rollers 3 are sleeved with the same conveyor belt 4, and the conveyor belt 4 is used to transport the soft capsules, and a far-infrared electric heating plate 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the machine body 1 through bolts, and the far-infrared electric heating plate 5 is used to provide temperature, and a motor 7 for driving the rollers 3 is fixed to the outer wall of one of the left and right sides of the machine body 1 through a bracket, and the motor 7 is used to drive the conveyor belt 4 to operate.

[0034] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 10 includes a round tube 100, an oblique round tube 101 and a square tube 102 fixed by bolts from top to bottom. The oblique round tube 101 is inclined toward the rear end surface of the body 1 to prevent the soft capsules from falling onto the bottom surface of the body 1, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the square tube 102 is larger than the cross-sectional areas of the round tube 100 and the oblique round tube 101 to prevent the soft capsules from being blocked at the square tube 102 and causing damage.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom end surface of the square tube 102 is open and a slot for discharging soft capsules is provided at the lower end of the rear side wall of the square tube 102. The height of the slot is preferably 8 mm, so that soft capsules of various specifications can be discharged in a single layer to avoid accumulation of soft capsules when they fall into the conveyor belt. At the same time, the soft capsules can be heated evenly, and the bottom surface of the square tube 102 does not contact the conveyor belt 4, so as to avoid friction and collision with the surface of the conveyor belt 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, a glass 20 is provided at the center of the upper end of the baffle 2, through which the internal processing conditions can be observed conveniently. The top of the baffle 2 is hinged to the top surface of the body 1 by a hinge, and a handle 21 is fixed by screws near the lower edge of the baffle 2 to facilitate opening the baffle 2 outwards. The size of the baffle 2 on the front end surface completely covers the front end open surface of the body 1 to prevent the temperature loss in the body 1, while the size of the baffle 2 on the rear end surface only covers two-thirds of the area of ​​the rear end surface of the body 1 from top to bottom. While maintaining the temperature in the body 1 as much as possible, a certain space needs to be reserved for installing the discharge inclined plate 6.

[0037] In this embodiment, one end of the rotating shaft 30 near the front end surface of the body 1 extends out of the side wall of the body 1 and is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor 7 , and the motor 7 is used to provide driving force for the conveyor belt 4 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the conveyor belt 4 is pasted with oil paper 40 for preventing the soft capsule from melting and sticking. Since the soft capsule shell is usually made of gelatin, which is a protein and protein is not easy to stick to oil, the left and right sides of the conveyor belt 4 are 3mm to 5mm away from the left and right inner walls of the body 1. While avoiding friction between the conveyor belt 4 and the left and right inner walls of the body 1, it also prevents the soft capsule from falling from the gap between the edge of the conveyor belt 4 and the inner wall of the body 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, a downwardly inclined discharge inclined plate 6 is fixed by bolts below the rear end of the conveyor belt 4 in the body 1, and the plate width of the discharge inclined plate 6 decreases linearly from top to bottom. The discharge inclined plate 6 is used to guide the heated soft capsules out, and the plate width of the discharge inclined plate 6 is gradually reduced to maintain the temperature in the body 1 and reduce the heat dissipation.

[0040] In this embodiment, the far-infrared electric heating plate 5 and the motor 7 are both electrically connected to an external power source through a wire, and the external power source provides electrical energy to maintain the normal function of the device.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the far-infrared heating plate 5 and the motor 7 involved in the present invention are universal standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles are known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods, and will not be elaborated here.

[0042] When the soft capsule drying machine capable of uniform heating of the utility model is used, the far-infrared electric heating plate 5 and the motor 7 are first turned on to maintain the processing temperature and drive the conveyor belt 4 to operate, and then the soft capsule is fed from the feeding pipe 10 at the top of the machine body 1 to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 4. Since the end of the feeding pipe 10 is a square tube 102, and a notch is provided at the junction edge between the bottom end face and the rear end face of the square tube 102, when the conveyor belt 4 moves toward the discharge inclined plate 6, the soft capsule will be spread out through the notch end of the square tube 102 to avoid accumulation. The far-infrared electric heating plate 5 on the top of the inner wall of the machine body 1 has the characteristics of saving electric energy and long service life. When transported by the conveyor belt 4, the soft capsule is heated evenly, and the surface of the conveyor belt 4 is adhered with oil paper 40 to prevent the soft capsule shell from adhering to the conveyor belt 4. A discharge inclined plate 6 is installed at the rear end of the machine body 1, and a collection container is placed below the discharge inclined plate 6 to facilitate the unified collection of the soft capsules after drying.

[0043] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present embodiment of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiment. The above embodiment and description are only preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present embodiment may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
