Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically a drying equipment for soft capsule production. Background Technology

[0002] The production of soft capsules typically includes extrusion preparation and degranulation molding steps. For example, patent application number 202311246065.X in the patent database discloses a one-time molding equipment for double-capsule soft capsules and its production process. In the molding equipment disclosed therein, two sets of air supply pipes are set on the lower side of the two extrusion rollers. The air supply pipes can perform preliminary air drying on the molded soft capsules, thereby ensuring that the soft capsules have a certain structural strength and preventing them from being damaged or deformed during collection. However, the above-mentioned setup requires a high production rate of soft capsules. That is, the above-mentioned air drying method can only meet the low-speed production of soft capsules. When the production rate of soft capsules is high, the air supply pipes will not be able to quickly and effectively complete the drying and shaping of soft capsules. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a soft capsule production shaping and drying equipment.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A soft capsule production shaping and drying equipment includes a hot air blower and a drying device connected thereto. The hot air blower can provide hot air to the drying device, and the drying device can complete the shaping and drying of the formed soft capsules.

[0006] As the core technical concept of this utility model, the drying device includes a rectangular drying box with an opening on the upper side. A notch is provided on the upper side of the drying box along its length. A hot air blower is connected to the drying box and can deliver hot air into the drying box. An arc-shaped grooved drying mesh plate is provided within the notch, and the drying mesh plate can receive the formed soft capsules. The drying device also includes a mounting frame. The drying box is hinged to the mounting frame and is configured to allow the front and / or rear ends to swing up and down. Based on the above structure, when the drying box is tilted, the extruded soft capsules can fall onto the drying mesh plate and roll along the tilted drying mesh plate. During the rolling process, the hot air blown out of the drying box completes the drying and shaping of the soft capsules, making the drying of the soft capsules more uniform and the shaped soft capsules more rounded. Simultaneously, by controlling the tilt angle of the drying box, the rolling speed of the soft capsules on the drying mesh plate can be controlled, thereby adjusting the drying time of the soft capsules and further ensuring the drying effect of the soft capsules.

[0007] As described above, the soft capsule production shaping and drying equipment further ensures the drying effect of the soft capsules on the drying screen. The inner side of the drying screen is also provided with a dispersing guide. When the soft capsules roll on the drying screen, they can be spread out and dispersed under the action of the dispersing guide, preventing the soft capsules from concentrating at the bottom of the drying screen, thereby ensuring the uniformity of drying of the soft capsules.

[0008] The structure of the dispersing and guiding component includes several rows of guiding components. Each guiding component includes several V-shaped plates arranged in a linear array along the length of the drying box, with the openings of the V-shaped plates facing the front end of the drying box. This arrangement ensures that when the soft capsules roll toward the front end of the drying box, they can be smoothly diverted under the action of the V-shaped plates.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, to further ensure the diversion effect of the V-shaped plates, the V-shaped plates of adjacent rows of the flow guiding components are arranged in an alternating manner.

[0010] Preferably, in order to ensure the diversion effect of the V-shaped plate while preventing the V-shaped plate from significantly hindering the flow of the soft capsule, the opening angle of the V-shaped plate is set to 50-80 degrees.

[0011] As described above, in a soft capsule production shaping and drying equipment, a stop plate is also provided on the inner rear end of the drying mesh plate to prevent the soft capsules from falling out from the rear end of the drying mesh plate after falling into the drying mesh plate.

[0012] To ensure the drying mesh effectively receives the formed soft capsules, extension strips extending horizontally to the outside of the drying box are also provided on both sides of the drying mesh.

[0013] To ensure that the rotation of the drying box does not affect its connection with the hot air blower and to guarantee the lifespan of the connection, the hot air blower and the drying box are connected by a flexible hose.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is a soft capsule production shaping and drying equipment. When the drying box is tilted, the extruded soft capsules can fall onto the drying mesh plate and roll along the tilted drying mesh plate. During the rolling process, the hot air blown out of the drying box completes the drying and shaping of the soft capsules, making the drying of the soft capsules more uniform and the shaped soft capsules more rounded. At the same time, by controlling the tilt angle of the drying box, the rolling speed of the soft capsules on the drying mesh plate can be controlled, thereby adjusting the drying time of the soft capsules on it, further ensuring the drying effect of the soft capsules.

The drying device also includes a mounting frame 6, and the drying box 1 and... The mounting frame 6 is hinged and designed so that the front and / or rear ends can swing up and down. Based on the above structure, when the drying box 1 is tilted, the extruded soft capsules can fall onto the drying mesh plate 2 and roll along the tilted drying mesh plate 2. During the rolling process, the hot air blown out of the drying box 1 completes the drying and shaping of the soft capsules, making the drying of the soft capsules more uniform and the shaped soft capsules more rounded. At the same time, by controlling the tilt angle of the drying box 1, the rolling speed of the soft capsules on the drying mesh plate 2 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the drying time of the soft capsules on it, further ensuring the drying effect of the soft capsules.

[0028] Specifically, the structure of the mounting frame 6 includes an L-shaped frame composed of a vertical frame and a horizontal frame.

[0030] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 To further ensure the drying effect of the soft capsules on the drying mesh plate 2, a dispersing guide is provided on the inner side of the drying mesh plate 2. When the soft capsules roll on the drying mesh plate 2, they can be spread out and dispersed under the action of the dispersing guide, preventing the soft capsules from concentrating at the bottom of the drying mesh plate 2, thereby ensuring the uniformity of drying of the soft capsules.

[0031] The structure of the dispersing and guiding component includes several rows of guiding components. Each guiding component includes several V-shaped plates 5 arranged in a linear array along the length of the drying box 1, and the openings of the V-shaped plates 5 face the front end of the drying box 1. This arrangement ensures that when the soft capsules roll toward the front end of the drying box 1, they can be smoothly diverted under the action of the V-shaped plates 5.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, to further ensure the diversion effect of the V-shaped plates 5, the V-shaped plates 5 of adjacent rows of the flow guiding components are arranged in an alternating manner.

[0033] Preferably, in order to ensure the diversion effect of the V-shaped plate 5 while preventing the V-shaped plate 5 from causing significant obstruction to the flow of the soft capsule, the opening angle of the V-shaped plate 5 is set to 50-80 degrees.

[0034] In this embodiment, a stop plate 3 is also provided on the inner rear end of the drying mesh plate 2 to prevent the soft capsule from falling out from the rear end of the drying mesh plate 2 after it falls into the interior of the drying mesh plate 2.

[0035] To ensure the receiving effect of the drying mesh plate 2 on the formed soft capsules, extension strips 4 extending horizontally to the outside of the drying box 1 are also provided on both sides of the drying mesh plate 2.
