Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of capsule production, and more specifically to a logistics system for capsule drying. Background Art

[0002] The drying tunnel is an important part of the capsule machine, and its drying speed directly determines the production capacity of the capsule machine. However, for each capsule, the drying time in the same environment is fixed. Therefore, the faster the capsule machine, the longer the drying tunnel is required, which correspondingly puts greater pressure on the floor area of the manufacturer.

[0003] Capsule drying is an important link in capsule production. The drying capacity directly determines the production capacity of the capsule machine. According to the characteristics of capsule production, if the capsule dries too fast, many capsule defects will occur. Therefore, while strengthening drying, it is also necessary not to dry too fast. The common practice in the prior art is to increase the size of the capsule machine, so that the drying tunnel of the capsule machine is also correspondingly lengthened, which not only ensures the drying of the capsules but also ensures the drying time of the capsules. The biggest drawback of this solution is that it increases the cost of the machine and also increases the area of the capsule-making room, greatly increasing the construction cost. In order to reduce the construction cost, some manufacturers transform the single-layer drying tunnel into a double-layer or multi-layer one, so that the production capacity can be increased several times in the same area of the factory building. However, for the increasing production speed, it is still a drop in the bucket.

[0004] Under this background, it is very necessary to invent a mechanism that neither needs to increase the length of the machine nor can ensure the capsule drying time. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a logistics system for capsule drying, so as to solve the problems of high equipment cost and large floor area caused by accelerating capsule drying in the prior art.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] Provide a logistics system for capsule drying, including: a system support; a plurality of trays stacked one above the other from bottom to top on the left and right sides of the system support respectively, the trays being used for placing die bars, and needle bars being evenly arranged on the die bars; a lifting mechanism for moving the trays stacked on one side upward in the vertical direction; a lowering mechanism for moving the trays stacked on the other side downward in the vertical direction; a top translation mechanism for moving the tray at the top horizontally; a bottom translation mechanism for moving the tray at the bottom horizontally; wherein, the vertical cyclic movement of the trays is realized through the logistics system.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting mechanism for moving the tray upward and a lowering mechanism for moving the tray downward.

[0009] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the tray respectively have vertically extending flanges to facilitate stacking of a plurality of trays.

[0010] Preferably, the flange has a flat upper surface.

[0011] Preferably, the number of trays stacked in sequence from bottom to top on each of the left and right sides is 20 to 30.

[0012] Preferably, the die bar is pushed into and out of the tray by an external force.

[0013] According to such a logistics system for capsule drying provided by the present utility model, for the first time, the original horizontal drying channel is creatively improved into a vertical drying channel, the trays are stacked in multiple layers, and in combination with the lifting mechanism, the lowering mechanism and the translation mechanism, the production capacity of this logistics system is increased by more than 20 times under the same floor area. By stacking more trays, the production capacity can even be increased to 30 times. It does not require increasing the machine length and can ensure the capsule drying time, fundamentally solving the problems of high equipment cost and large floor area brought about by accelerating capsule drying in the prior art, saving the production cost. Therefore, the present utility model has good application prospects in the field of capsule production and manufacturing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] As shown in Figure 1 - Figure 2 , a logistics system is provided according to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model for the efficient drying of capsules. The logistics system changes the original horizontal drying channel to a vertical drying channel, and the production capacity is increased by more than 20 times under the same floor area. The logistics system includes: a system support 1, trays 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a lowering mechanism 4, a top translation mechanism 5, and a bottom translation mechanism 6.

[0020] Among them, the system support 1 plays a supporting role for the entire system. A plurality of trays 2 are stacked on the left and right sides of the system support 1 in sequence from bottom to top. In this embodiment, 20 trays are stacked in sequence, but in fact, it is not limited to this number and can be adjusted according to specific circumstances. The tray 2 is used to place the die bars 7, and the needle bars are evenly arranged on the die bars 7. The die bars 7 can be pushed into and out of the trays 2 by an external force.

[0021] The lifting mechanism 3 is arranged on the left side of the system support 1 (refer to Figure 1 ), and is used to realize the upward movement of the left-side trays in the vertical direction. The lowering mechanism 4 is arranged on the right side of the system support 1 (refer to Figure 1 ), and is used to realize the downward movement of the right-side trays in the vertical direction. The top translation mechanism is arranged on the top of the system support 1 and is used to realize the translation of the uppermost tray from left to right. The bottom translation mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the system support 1 and is used to realize the translation of the lowermost tray from right to left. The present utility model realizes the vertical cyclic movement of the trays in the clockwise direction through such a logistics system. However, it should be understood that this is only an example and not a limitation here, and the vertical cyclic movement of the trays in the counterclockwise direction can also be realized through simple adjustment.

[0022] As shown in Figure 3 , the front and rear sides of the tray 2 respectively have vertically extending flanges 21 to facilitate the stacking of a plurality of trays. Preferably, the flanges 21 have a flat upper surface, so that the stacking of a plurality of trays can also be stable, and the upper tray can be conveniently pushed in and out. Further, the die bars 7 can also be pushed into the trays 2 or removed from the trays 2 by an external force.

[0023] It should be understood that the lifting mechanism, descending mechanism, and translation mechanism used in this logistics system are all conventional technical means in the art. The advantage of the present utility model is that these conventional technical means are integrally designed to form a logistics system with reasonable structure, achieving a substantial increase in the production capacity of capsules. Without increasing the machine length, it can ensure the drying time of capsules, and solve the problems of high equipment cost and large floor area in the prior art due to accelerating the drying of capsules.

[0024] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various changes can be made to the above embodiments of the present utility model. All simple, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the content of the specification of the present utility model application fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present utility model patent. Those not described in detail in the present utility model are all conventional technical contents.
