Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a drying device, and particularly to a device for drying capsules. Background Art

[0002] When drying capsules, the capsules are placed in a drying box body, and a hot air blower arranged on the box body is turned on to dry the capsules in the box body. However, during the drying process, there is an adhesion situation between capsules and between capsules and the drying equipment, resulting in poor drying effect and being not easy to take out. To solve this technical problem, the Chinese patent with the application number CN202322720163.4 provides a solution called a drying device for capsule production. In this solution, the hollow cover containing the capsules is placed in the drying box body. While drying the capsules in the drying box body by the hot air blower, the motor is started, and the connecting sleeve is driven to rotate by the motor. The rotation of the connecting sleeve drives the eccentric wheel to rotate, and then the eccentric wheel impacts the hollow cover, causing the capsules in the hollow cover to vibrate, thus avoiding the adhesion caused by the capsules contacting for too long. Through the above method, the adhesion problem is effectively solved. However, the capsules are installed in the hollow cover, and the hollow cover has a certain depth. Although the vibration of the hollow cover caused by the impact of the eccentric wheel can make the capsules vibrate, thereby avoiding adhesion, on the one hand, since all the capsules are stacked in the hollow cover and the vibration amplitude of the eccentric wheel impacting the hollow cover is limited, it cannot dry the capsules stacked in the middle part, resulting in poor drying effect; on the other hand, if continuous vibration is required, the eccentric wheel needs to continuously impact the hollow cover. This method not only affects the stability of the overall structure but also greatly shortens the service life of the hollow cover and increases the operation cost; on the third hand, continuously achieving vibration by the impact of the eccentric wheel will also increase the noise. At the same time, the more capsules placed in the hollow cover, the worse the drying effect. And due to the increase in the number of capsules, the overall weight increases, causing greater wear on the hollow cover with each vibration and fall.

[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to providing a device for drying capsules that can effectively solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

Each of the partition plates 5 and each of the blocking plates 12 are respectively sleeved on each of the rotating shafts 13;

[0028] A hot air blower 16 is provided at the upper end of the drying box body 1. The output end of the hot air blower 16 extends into the drying box body 1. Box doors 17 are provided on both sides of the drying box body 1. A bottom plate 18 is detachably arranged in the drying box body 1. Two support seats 19 are arranged on the bottom plate 18. The front end of each rotating shaft 13 is rotationally connected to the drying box body 1 through each support seat 19. A maintenance door 20 is provided at the front end of the drying box body 1. Each support seat 19 is located between the maintenance door 20 and the drying cylinder 2.

[0029] Reinforcing blocks 21 are provided at the angles between each support seat 19 and the bottom plate 18. By adding the reinforcing blocks 21, the stability of the support seat 19 can be improved, the service life can be prolonged, and the number of maintenance times can be reduced.

[0030] The power unit 15 includes a driving motor 22. The driving motor 22 is arranged on the outer wall of the drying box body 1 through a motor mounting seat 23. Two chain wheels 26 are provided on the drying box body 1. Each chain wheel 26 is sleeved on the rear end of each rotating shaft 13 respectively.

A protective cover 28 is arranged on the outer wall of the drying box body 1. The chain 27 is located inside the protective cover 28.

[0031] A handle 29 is provided on the drying cylinder cover 10. By providing the handle 29, it is convenient to open and close the drying cylinder cover 10. The opening and connection method between the drying cylinder cover 10 and the drying cylinder 2 is not the inventive point of the present invention. The present invention does not limit this method, and any structure in the prior art that can achieve locking and opening can be adopted.

[0032] A diversion box 30 is arranged in the drying box body 1. The four corners at the upper end of the diversion box 30 are connected to the inner wall of the drying box body 1 through four connecting columns 31. The upper end of the diversion box 30 is connected to the output end of the hot air blower 16. A plurality of strip-shaped air outlets 32 penetrating through the diversion box 30 are opened at the lower end of the diversion box 30. An exhaust duct 33 is also provided in the upper half of the drying box body 1. A filter layer and a one-way exhaust valve are arranged on the exhaust duct 33. The exhaust duct 33 is used to discharge the gas in the box body. By using the filter layer, the pollution to the capsules can be effectively prevented. The filter layer is prior art.

[0033] The optimal working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0034] Open the box door 17 and the drying cylinder cover 10 in sequence, and place the capsules in the first drying space 6 and the second drying space 7 of the drying cylinder 2. In addition, the setting of the inspection door 20 not only facilitates the maintenance of it, but also can be used as an alternative for feeding and discharging. After placing the capsules, the drying cylinder cover 10 and the box door 17 can be closed, and then the hot air blower 16 can be started to send hot air into the drying box body 1 through the hot air blower 16 for drying. As an optimization, the utility model is provided with a diversion box 30, and the two drying cylinders 2 are respectively located directly below the diversion box 30 and are output through a plurality of strip-shaped air outlets 32 on the diversion box 30, which can effectively avoid the concentration of heat in one place and effectively improve the drying efficiency and drying quality. At the same time, the driving motor 22 drives the two chain wheels 26 to rotate, and the rotation of the two chain wheels 26 makes each rotating shaft 13 rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 13 drives each drying cylinder 2 to rotate, which can avoid adhesion and improve the drying effect at the same time. When using the utility model, the driving motor 22 driving the two drying cylinders 2 to rotate can be selected according to actual needs, and can be rotated slowly continuously or intermittently slowly. At the same time, the size of the inner diameter of the material blocking ring 11 and the height of the material blocking plate 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here. The main functions of the material blocking ring 11 and the material blocking plate 12 are to prevent the capsules from falling out when the drying cylinder 2 rotates slowly. At the same time, due to the setting of the material blocking ring 11, it can also improve the drying effect. The smaller the inner diameter of the material blocking ring 11, the better the material blocking effect (in the case of more materials), and the larger the inner diameter of the material blocking ring 11, the better the drying effect. The same is true for the material blocking plate 12, and it can be selected according to specific requirements during use. When the drying is completed, the box door 17 and the drying cylinder cover 10 can be opened to take it out. As a further optimization, before taking it out, the driving motor 22 can be used to drive the drying cylinder 2 to rotate until the inner end of the partition plate 5 is higher than the outer end and is inclined (the lower end is close to the drying cylinder cover 10). At this time, the capsules on the partition plate 5 will move towards the drying cylinder cover 10, making it more convenient to take the materials.

[0035] In the utility model, the two drying cylinders 2 and the inner wall of the drying box body 1 are arranged at intervals, which is more convenient for drying. And in the actual use of the utility model, it is not limited to setting two drying cylinders 2, and the specific number can be increased or decreased according to needs. At the same time, the diversion box 30 can also be arranged on both sides according to the number and position of the drying cylinders 2. In addition, the utility model drives the two drying cylinders to operate through one driving motor 22, effectively reducing the manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0036] The preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present utility model without creative efforts. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field based on the concept of the present utility model through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the prior art shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims.
