Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heating devices for soft capsule gelatin, specifically a device for uniformly heating soft capsule gelatin. Background Technology

[0002] Gelatin, used in soft capsule production, is a primary material for making soft capsule shells. It is a mixture of high-molecular-weight polypeptides obtained by partially hydrolyzing collagen from connective tissues such as animal skin and bones. Its main component is protein, with high levels of amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. The arrangement and structural characteristics of these amino acids give gelatin excellent gelling properties. During soft capsule production, gelatin needs to be heated to ensure it flows in a fluid state for ease of production.

[0003] However, existing heating devices for soft capsule gelatin typically install the heating source on the outer wall of the heating device container, allowing heat to be transferred from the outer wall to the gelatin, thus melting the gelatin. Since gelatin has a certain viscosity after melting, this heating method easily causes the gelatin residue on the inner wall of the heating device container to be continuously heated by the heat source, resulting in a high gelatin temperature and affecting the quality of the gelatin. Therefore, this method does not meet the current requirements. To address this, we propose a uniform heating device for soft capsule gelatin. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a uniform heating device for soft capsule gelatin, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the heating device for soft capsule gelatin usually installs the heating source on the outer wall of the heating device container, so that heat is transferred from the outer wall of the heating device to the gelatin, thereby causing the gelatin to melt. Since the gelatin has a certain viscosity after melting, this heating method easily causes the gelatin residue on the inner wall of the heating device container to be continuously heated by the heat source, resulting in a high gelatin temperature and affecting the quality of the gelatin.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a uniform heating device for soft capsule gelatin, comprising a main body box:

[0006] A stirring shaft is rotatably mounted inside the main body box via bearings. Hollow stirring rods are provided on both sides of the stirring shaft. The hollow stirring rods and the stirring shaft are integrally formed. Heating wires are provided inside both the hollow stirring rods and the stirring shaft. A discharge pipe is fixedly installed at the lower end of the main body box. A wiring conduit is fixedly installed on one side of the discharge pipe. The wiring conduit is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft. A cable is provided inside the wiring conduit. The cable is connected to the heating wire through a conductive slip ring.

[0007] Spiral auger blades are welded and installed on the lower end of the outside of the stirring shaft. Connecting rods are slidably installed on both sides of the upper end of the main body box through slots. A metal ring is fixedly installed on the lower end of the connecting rod, and a scraper is fixedly installed on the outside of the metal ring.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the main body box is welded with three support legs, and the lower ends of the three support legs are all fixedly installed with a stable base plate.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber pad is installed at the lower end of the stabilizing base plate, and the rubber pad is fixedly connected to the stabilizing base plate.

[0010] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the main body box by screws, and the drive motor is connected to the stirring shaft by a coupling.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating handle is installed at the upper end of the connecting rod, and the rotating handle is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0012] Preferably, a control box is installed on the front end face of the main body box, and the control box is fixedly connected to the main body box.

[0013] Preferably, an injection pipe is installed at the front end of the upper surface of the main body box, and the injection pipe is fixedly connected to the main body box.

[0014] Preferably, a material-pushing plate is installed at the lower end of the hollow stirring rod, and the material-pushing plate is fixedly connected to the hollow stirring rod.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model uses a hollow stirring rod to stir gelatin, making the gelatin heat more evenly. The hollow stirring rod has a hollow structure, and a heating wire inside can raise its temperature, allowing the device to heat the gelatin from the inside out. This prevents the gelatin residue on the inner wall from being continuously heated by the heat source, which could lead to high gelatin temperatures and affect its quality. Because the hollow stirring rod rotates continuously, it can stir and heat the gelatin simultaneously, ensuring even heating of the gelatin inside the device. At the same time, gelatin adhering to the outside of the hollow stirring rod is separated from the top of the hollow stirring rod by centrifugal force during rotation, ensuring that a large amount of gelatin does not adhere to the outside of the hollow stirring rod and that gelatin does not remain inside the device during discharge.

[0017] 2. This utility model can support the scraper by installing a metal ring, which ensures that the scraper can scrape off the gelatin adhering to the inner wall of the device when it moves longitudinally, thus ensuring clean material discharge inside the device. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model is a uniform heating device for soft capsule gelatin, comprising a main body box 1:

[0025] A stirring shaft 11 is rotatably mounted inside the main body box 1 via bearings. Hollow stirring rods 12 are installed on both sides of the stirring shaft 11. These hollow stirring rods 12 stir the gelatin, making the gelatin heat more evenly. The hollow structure of the stirring rods 12 allows for the installation of heating wires 13 inside, raising their temperature and enabling the device to heat the gelatin from the inside out. This prevents residual gelatin on the inner wall of the device from being continuously heated by the heat source, which could lead to excessively high gelatin temperatures and affect its quality. Because the hollow stirring rods 12 rotate continuously, they can simultaneously stir and heat the gelatin. To ensure uniform heating of the gelatin inside the device, and to prevent excessive gelatin from adhering to the outside of the hollow stirring rod 12 during rotation, the gelatin is separated from the upper end of the hollow stirring rod 12 by centrifugal force, ensuring that a large amount of gelatin does not adhere to the outside of the hollow stirring rod 12 and that the gelatin does not remain inside the device during discharge, the hollow stirring rod 12 and the stirring shaft 11 are designed as an integral molding structure, and heating wires 13 are provided inside both the hollow stirring rod 12 and the stirring shaft 11. A discharge pipe 5 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the main body box 1, and a wiring conduit 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the discharge pipe 5. The wiring conduit 18 is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft 11, and a cable is provided inside the wiring conduit 18. The cable is connected to the heating wire 13 through a conductive slip ring.

[0026] Spiral auger blade 17 is welded to the lower end of the outside of the stirring shaft 11. Connecting rods 8 are slidably installed on both sides of the upper end of the main body box 1 through slots. A metal ring 15 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting rod 8. The installation of the metal ring 15 can support the scraper 16 and play a supporting role, ensuring that the scraper 16 can scrape off the gelatin adhering to the inner wall of the device when it moves longitudinally, ensuring that the discharge inside the device is clean. The scraper 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the metal ring 15.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The lower end of the main body box 1 is welded with three support legs 2, and each of the three support legs 2 is fixedly installed with a stable base plate 3. A rubber pad 4 is installed at the lower end of the stable base plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the stable base plate 3. The upper end of the main body box 1 is fixedly installed with a drive motor 7 by screws. The drive motor 7 is connected to the stirring shaft 11 by a coupling. The upper end of the connecting rod 8 is installed with a rotating handle 9 and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 8. The front end of the main body box 1 is installed with a control box 6 and is fixedly connected to the main body box 1. The front end of the upper end of the main body box 1 is installed with a material injection pipe 10 and is fixedly connected to the main body box 1. The lower end of the hollow stirring rod 12 is installed with a material-pulling plate 14. Installing the material-pulling plate 14 can move the gelatin, so that the gelatin is heated more evenly. The material-pulling plate 14 is fixedly connected to the hollow stirring rod 12.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the operator adds gelatin into the main body box 1 through the injection pipe 10. Then, the heating wire 13 heats the hollow stirring rod 12, thereby heating the gelatin. Next, the stirring shaft 11 rotates forward under the action of the drive motor 7, causing the stirring shaft 11 to drive the hollow stirring rod 12 to quickly stir the gelatin, making the gelatin melt. At this time, the stirring shaft 11 drives the spiral auger blade 17 to rotate forward, causing the spiral auger blade 17 to continuously tumble the gelatin upward, preventing the gelatin from flowing out of the discharge pipe 5. After the gelatin has completely melted, the drive motor 7 drives the stirring shaft 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the gelatin to be discharged from the device under the action of the spiral auger blades 17. At the same time, the operator pushes the connecting rod 8 longitudinally by rotating the handle 9, which in turn pushes the metal ring 15 and the scraper 16 longitudinally, causing the scraper 16 to scrape off the gelatin adsorbed on the inner wall of the device, ensuring that all the gelatin can be discharged from the device. The device is equipped with a hollow stirring rod 12 to stir the gelatin, making the gelatin more evenly heated. At the same time, the hollow stirring rod 12 has a hollow structure in the middle, and a heating wire 13 is set inside it to raise the temperature of the hollow stirring rod 12, so that the device can heat the gelatin through the hollow stirring rod 12. The heating method of the device is from the inside out, avoiding the continuous heating of the gelatin remaining on the inner wall of the device, which would cause the gelatin temperature to be too high and affect the quality of the gelatin. Since the hollow stirring rod 12 rotates continuously, it can stir and heat the gelatin at the same time, thus ensuring that the gelatin inside the device is heated evenly. The heat is uniform, and the gelatin adhering to the outside of the hollow stirring rod 12 is separated from the upper end of the hollow stirring rod 12 by centrifugal force when the hollow stirring rod 12 rotates. This ensures that a large amount of gelatin does not adhere to the outside of the hollow stirring rod 12, and that the gelatin does not remain inside the device during discharge. The installed metal ring 15 can support the scraper 16, which plays a supporting role and ensures that the scraper 16 can scrape off the gelatin adhering to the inner wall of the device when it moves longitudinally, ensuring that the discharge inside the device is clean.
