Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a tube labeling device, and more particularly to a drying device for vitamin E processing, belonging to the technical field of tube labeling equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is one of the most important antioxidants. It is soluble in organic solvents such as fats and ethanol, but insoluble in water. It is stable to heat and acids, but unstable to alkalis. It is sensitive to oxygen, but not to heat, although its activity is significantly reduced during frying. It is found in cooking oils, fruits, vegetables, and grains. Vitamin E exists in eight fat-soluble forms and is commonly used in creams and lotions.
[0003] In the production and processing of vitamin E, the formed vitamin E capsules need to be effectively dried using a rotary drying device. However, in commonly used rotary drying devices, a large number of vitamin E capsules tend to pile up during drying, which can easily lead to poor drying results.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a new solution. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the dehumidifier box has a door installed on the front, and the door has a handle.
[0011] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a first gear, a motor, and a plurality of second gears, wherein the first gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the rotating drum, the plurality of second gears are rotatably mounted on the drying oven and mesh with the first gear, and one of the second gears is connected to the output end of the motor.
[0012] Preferably, a rotating ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other end of the rotating cage, and multiple rotating wheels that cooperate with the rotating ring are rotatably installed on the drying box.
[0013] Preferably, the drying oven has an observation window on the back.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom end of the feed hopper is connected to a feed pipe extending to the inside of the rotating drum.
[0015] Preferably, a discharge door located inside the discharge hopper is installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber near the discharge hopper via a hinge, and the discharge door is provided with a handle.

It should be noted that the circular baffle 6 is coaxially aligned with the frustum-shaped rotating drum 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the working process of the drying device for vitamin E processing provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] Step 1: The vitamin E capsules in the feed hopper 3 enter the rotating drum 2 through the feed pipe 21. The motor 16 drives the second gear 17 to cooperate with the first gear 15 to rotate the rotating drum 2.
[0035] Step 2: The electric telescopic rod 5 drives the circular baffle 6 to move in the frustum-shaped rotating cage 2, controlling the distance between the circular baffle 6 and the inner wall of the rotating cage 2;
