Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lutein soft capsule shaping, specifically relating to a lutein soft capsule drying and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] To relieve eye strain, promote vision development, and boost immunity, some people often need to supplement with lutein. In order to stably release lutein, oil components are often added to make it into soft capsules that are easy for users to swallow. During the processing of lutein soft capsules, since the outer layer of the soft capsule is made of gelatin, moisture needs to be removed during the processing to prevent bacterial growth and reduce capsule deformation, thereby extending its shelf life.

[0003] Currently, because gelatin melts when heated, natural air drying is often used when processing lutein soft capsules. This method is time-consuming, and because a support plate is needed to hold the soft capsule, this drying and shaping method results in uneven airflow between the exposed surface of the soft capsule and the side placed on the support plate. This uneven drying can easily cause the side of the lutein soft capsule in contact with the support plate to deform or stick to the inner wall of the support plate, affecting the appearance of the lutein soft capsule.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the problem of uneven air drying of lutein soft capsules caused by the existing natural air drying method, a lutein soft capsule drying and shaping device can be designed by replacing the support plate with a roller. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a lutein soft capsule drying and shaping device, including a support column 1 and a drying roller 2. The drying roller 2 is movably connected to the front of the support column 1. The drying roller 2 has a feed inlet 3. A baffle cover 4 is movably connected to the outside of the feed inlet 3. A partition 5 with multiple ventilation holes is fixedly connected inside the drying roller 2. A cool air blower 6 is installed at the rear of the drying roller 2. The air outlet 7 of the cool air blower 6 is inserted into the drying filter cartridge. A rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the rear of the drying roller 2 and movably connected to the support column 1. By moving the baffle cover 4 to open the feed inlet 3, lutein soft capsules are placed into the drying roller 2 through the feed inlet 3. The cool air blower 6 continuously blows dry cool air into the drying roller 2 through the air outlet 7. The rotating shaft 8 rotates within the support column 1, thereby driving the drying drum 2 to rotate, causing the lutein soft capsules inside to tumble continuously, ensuring even airflow and preventing them from sticking to the inner wall. A motor 9 is installed on the rear side of the support column 1, and the output end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rotating shaft 8. A mounting base 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the support column 1, and the mounting base 10 has anchoring holes 11. The motor 9 provides power for the rotation of the drying drum 2, and the mounting base 10 is fixed to the factory floor by anchors passing through the anchoring holes 11. An air outlet is provided on the rear side of the drying drum 2, and an exhaust fan 12 is inserted into the air outlet and installed behind the partition 5. The exhaust fan 12 can draw out the cool air containing moisture that has come into contact with the lutein soft capsules from the drying drum 2. The cool air will pass through the partition 5 and then flow out from the exhaust fan 12.

[0025] Please see Figures 2-6In this embodiment, an air inlet is provided on the rear side of the air cooler 6, and a filter screen 13 is installed inside the air inlet. A drawer 14 is inserted into the air cooler 6, and a desiccant 15 is placed inside the drawer 14. A cover plate 16 is installed on the rear side of the drawer 14. The air cooler 6 draws in outside air and then blows it into the drying drum 2 through the air outlet 7. The outside air will have its own humidity. To avoid affecting the humidity, the desiccant 15 is used to remove the moisture. The desiccant 15 is generally granular and is often put in a mesh bag. The cover plate 16 and the drawer 14 are used to spread the desiccant 15 evenly, which improves the dehumidification efficiency. A first slot 17 is provided in the air cooler 6. A first buckle 18 that matches the slot is fixedly connected to one side of the drawer 14 and the cover plate 16. Four second slots 19 are provided on the drawer 14. A second buckle 20 that matches the second slot 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 16. The front side of the drawer 14 is fixedly connected to the first slot 19. A fixed connection limit plate 21 is provided, with semi-circular grooves 22 on both sides of the limit plate 21. The dehumidifier 15 is fixed by the second buckle 20 in the second slot 19, and the drawer 14 is fixed by the first buckle 18 in the first slot 17. The semi-circular grooves 22 make it easy for the user to pull out the drawer 14. A fixed slide rail 23 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drying roller 2. The fixed slide rail 23 has a sliding groove. A slider 24 matching the sliding groove is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle cover 4. The feed port 3 is opened or closed by the slider 24 moving in the slide rail. Fixed hooks 25 are fixedly connected to the outside of the baffle cover 4 and the outside of the drying roller 2. A fixed lock 26 is engaged between the two fixed hooks 25. After the feed port 3 is closed, the fixed lock 26 engages with the two fixed hooks 25 to fix it and prevent the baffle cover 4 from moving during the rotation of the drying roller 2.

[0026] During operation, the worker first starts the exhaust fan 12 to extract the air from the drying drum 2. The air passes through the partition 5 and is discharged from the exhaust fan 12. The worker then unlocks the locking buckle 26, pushes the baffle cover 4, and moves it in the slide groove through the slider 24 to expose the feed port 3 on the drying drum 2. The worker then turns on the cold air fan 6, which draws in the outside air, passes it through the desiccant 15, and blows it into the drying drum 2 through the air outlet 7. The worker then pours the lutein soft capsules into the drying drum 2 through the feed port 3. After moving the baffle cover 4, the worker hooks the locking buckle 26 into the fixing hook 25 on the cover plate 16 to form a fixed position.

[0027] Start motor 9, which drives shaft 8 to rotate, thereby driving drying drum 2 to rotate. Cooler fan 6 continuously blows dry cool air into drying drum 2, so that it comes into contact with lutein soft capsules. At the same time, due to the rotation of drying drum 2, lutein soft capsules are constantly tumbling, so that lutein soft capsules are evenly exposed to air. The cool air that has come into contact with lutein soft capsules is extracted by exhaust fan 12 to prevent residual moisture from remaining in drying drum 2. After drying and shaping, rotate feed port 3 to the bottom, place the corresponding storage container, open the fixing lock 26 and move baffle cover 4. Lutein soft capsules fall from feed port 3 into the container below.

[0028] When replacing the dehumidifier 15, the worker pinches the two semi-circular grooves 22 on the drawer 14 and pulls the drawer 14 out of the air cooler 6. Then, the worker pinches the cover plate 16 and removes it. The dehumidifier 15 is then taken out and replaced with a new dehumidifier 15. The new dehumidifier 15 is placed in the drawer 14 and laid flat. The worker then aligns the second buckle 20 at the bottom of the cover plate 16 with the second slot 19 and fixes the cover plate 16 above the drawer 14 to secure the dehumidifier. The worker then inserts the drawer 14 into the air cooler 6 so that the first buckle 18 engages with the first slot 17 to secure the drawer 14.

[0029] Through the above steps, the support plate is replaced with a drying drum 2. A cold air blower 6 continuously delivers dry, cold air into the drying drum 2, while the rotating shaft 8 drives the drying drum 2 to rotate. This prevents the lutein soft capsules from sticking tightly to the inner wall of the drying drum 2. The rotation of the drying drum 2 ensures that every side of the lutein soft capsules comes into contact with the cold air, guaranteeing uniform airflow to the lutein soft capsules, improving drying efficiency and the appearance of the lutein soft capsules. This solves the problem of uneven airflow to the lutein soft capsules caused by the existing natural air-drying method.
