Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of capsule packaging supply devices, and in particular to a capsule particle drying feed inlet. Background Technology
[0002] Capsules are semi-transparent, closed microcapsules formed by encapsulating solid or liquid drugs on their surface with polymers or copolymers. These capsules are granular or spherical in shape, typically with a diameter between 5 and 400 μm. Microcapsules, on the other hand, can be seen as seamless microcapsules formed by encapsulating drugs within a membrane. This new dosage form has developed over the past two decades. During capsule production, the materials usually contain a certain amount of moisture. If this moisture cannot be removed efficiently, it will affect the quality and stability of the granules, as well as subsequent processing steps. Furthermore, if the large amount of water vapor generated during the drying process cannot be effectively collected, it will create a humid environment, which is detrimental to the efficiency of the drying process and product quality. To ensure the expiration date of capsules and prevent them from becoming damp, the industry has developed corresponding designs for dehumidification at the capsule inlet.
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the inventors invented a capsule particle drying feed inlet. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a capsule particle drying feed inlet that can reduce the moisture in the material, efficiently collect the large amount of water vapor generated during the drying process, avoid a humid environment, and ensure the efficiency of the drying process and the quality of the product.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0006] A capsule particle drying feed inlet includes a feed hopper, a feed cylinder, a condenser plate, and an air outlet; the feed hopper has an air outlet on the top of one side, and a condenser plate is provided on the side wall of the other side of the feed hopper. The condenser plate is set at an inclined angle. The lower end of the feed hopper is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feed cylinder, and the lower end of the feed cylinder is connected to the upper end of the feed cylinder. A heating tube is provided on the outer wall of the feed cylinder, and the heating tube is spirally wound on the outer wall of the feed cylinder.
[0007] As a further implementation, the air outlet opening is vertically downward.
[0008] As a further implementation, the spacing between the rows of heating tubes gradually increases as the height of the feed cylinder decreases in the vertical direction.
[0009] As a further implementation, the condenser plate is a hollow plate.
[0010] As a further implementation, an activated carbon pack is provided on the lower surface of the condenser plate.
[0011] As a further implementation, the upper surface of the activated carbon bag is provided with hook and loop fasteners, and the lower surface of the condenser plate is provided with hook and loop fasteners.
[0012] As a further implementation, a refrigeration device is installed in the internal cavity of the condenser plate.
[0013] As a further implementation, one end of the condenser plate is fixedly connected to the feed hopper, while the other end of the condenser plate is suspended in the air.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The condenser plate of this invention has a relatively low temperature. The condenser plate is designed to collect water vapor from the material and its surroundings; that is, water vapor condenses on the condenser plate. First, the refrigeration device is activated. Once the temperature of the condenser plate gradually decreases, the heating element is activated to raise the temperature of the feed cylinder. Air is continuously blown onto the material through the outlet, thereby reducing the moisture content in the material and efficiently collecting the large amount of water vapor generated during the drying process. When the activated carbon pack on the condenser plate has absorbed sufficient moisture, the Velcro between the activated carbon pack and the condenser plate is manually loosened to replace the activated carbon pack. This process gradually removes and transfers moisture from the material, thus avoiding a humid environment and ensuring the efficiency of the drying process and the quality of the product.

[0020] Example
[0021] This embodiment provides a capsule particle drying inlet, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a feed hopper 1, a feed cylinder 2, a condenser plate 5, and an air outlet 8. An air outlet 8 is provided on the top of one side of the feed hopper 1, and a condenser plate 5 is provided on the side wall of the other side of the feed hopper 1. Because water vapor is easy to condense when it encounters low temperature, the temperature of the condenser plate 5 is relatively low. The condenser plate 5 is used to collect water vapor from the material and the surrounding environment. That is, water vapor condenses on the condenser plate 5. The condenser plate 5 is set at an inclined angle. The lower end of the feed hopper 1 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feed cylinder 2. The lower end of the feed cylinder 2 is connected to the upper end of the feed cylinder 4. A heating tube 3 is provided on the outer wall of the feed cylinder 2, and the heating tube 3 is spirally wound on the outer wall of the feed cylinder 2. The opening of the air outlet 8 is vertically downward, so the air blows downward toward the material, which helps to accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the material.
[0022] Meanwhile, because the airflow blows downwards from one side of the feed hopper 1, the airflow changes direction after encountering the material at the bottom and then rises along the condenser plate 5 on the other side of the feed hopper 1. This allows the water vapor in the air to come into contact with the condenser plate 5, thus concentrating the water vapor. Vertically, as the height of the feed cylinder 2 decreases, the spacing between the rows of heating tubes 3 gradually increases. Therefore, the heating tubes 3 mainly heat the material near the bottom of the feed hopper 1. The heating tubes 3 are spirally wound and welded to the outer wall of the feed cylinder.
[0023] In addition to being plate-shaped, the cross-section of the condenser plate 5 can also be other shapes, such as an inverted U-shape or a triangle with the top facing upwards, as long as it can achieve the function of gathering water vapor.
[0024] The condenser plate 5 is a hollow plate. This design helps to reduce its weight and also allows for the installation of a refrigeration device 6 inside the cavity of the condenser plate 5. After the refrigeration device 6 is installed, the temperature of the condenser plate 5 is lower, which is conducive to the condensation of water vapor on the condenser plate 5. That is, the lower temperature of the condenser plate 5 is used to adsorb the water vapor evaporated in the air and quickly condense it into water droplets, avoiding the retention of moisture in this application and improving the drying efficiency.
[0025] One end of the condenser plate 5 is fixedly connected to the feed hopper, and the other end of the condenser plate 5 is suspended. An activated carbon bag 7 is provided on the lower surface of the condenser plate 5. The condenser plate 5 and the activated carbon bag 7 are connected by Velcro. The upper surface of the activated carbon bag 7 is provided with the barbed pieces of the Velcro, and the lower surface of the condenser plate 5 is provided with the rounded pieces of the Velcro. As a result, the activated carbon bag 7 is not easy to fall off. The activated carbon bag 7 is used to absorb the condensate on the condenser plate 5. Thus, at the same time as feeding, the moisture in the material is transferred into the activated carbon bag 7, thereby avoiding the low efficiency caused by excessive moisture in the activated carbon bag 7.
[0026] In addition to Velcro, the condenser plate 5 and the activated carbon bag 7 can also be connected by other methods, such as by strapping, to achieve a flexible connection between them.
[0027] The usage process of the capsule particle drying inlet of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] First, start the refrigeration device 6. When the temperature of the condenser plate 5 gradually decreases, start the heating tube 3 to raise the temperature of the feed cylinder 2. Finally, start the air outlet 8 and use the air outlet 8 to continuously blow air onto the material. When it is found that the activated carbon pack 7 on the condenser plate 5 has absorbed enough moisture, manually unfasten the Velcro between the activated carbon pack 7 and the condenser plate 5 to replace the activated carbon pack 7. The moisture in the activated carbon pack 7 is taken away with it. In this way, the moisture in the material is gradually removed and transferred, that is, the moisture-proof environment of this application is achieved in the working state.
