[0002] Soft capsules are a type of capsule packaging commonly found in pharmaceuticals and health foods. They are capsules made by sealing liquid or flavonoid medications within a soft capsule material. The soft capsules need to be removed from the dryer and cleaned after drying or before the drying process.

[0003] Due to the large size of the rotating drum, a rotating drum cleaning machine is generally used for cleaning, requiring high-temperature, high-pressure hot water rinsing. Currently, most rotating drum cleaning machines on the market use a single-sided cylinder drive mechanism to open and close the hatch, with the cylinder typically installed near the hatch hinge. In actual operation, this design has significant sealing problems; incomplete hatch closure leads to cleaning fluid leakage from the chamber, causing not only environmental contamination but also serious safety hazards, potentially leading to equipment short circuits or personnel slipping and falling.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] In the field of industrial cleaning equipment, traditional rotary drum cleaners generally use a single-sided cylinder drive mechanism to open and close the chamber door 2. This cylinder is usually installed near the hinge of the chamber door 2. In actual operation, this design has significant sealing problems; the chamber door 2 often fails to close tightly, causing cleaning fluid to leak from the chamber. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 The rotating drum cleaning device provided in this embodiment ensures the sealing of the door 2 by setting an additional second driving component 4, ensuring that the cleaning chamber 1 will not leak during operation, thereby improving the safety of the equipment.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 1The rotating drum cleaning equipment includes a cleaning chamber 1, a door 2, and a control device 5. The cleaning chamber 1 is used to house and clean the rotating drum, while the control device 5 controls the operation of the equipment. Inside the cleaning chamber 1, a cleaning room 10 is formed, which houses the rotating drum. A cleaning mechanism 11, connected to the control device 5, is installed inside the cleaning room 10 to spray cleaning fluid onto the rotating drum. The door 2 is hinged to the cleaning chamber 1 to close the cleaning room 10 during cleaning operations, preventing the cleaning fluid from flowing out.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cleaning chamber 1 is entirely constructed of welded stainless steel, which reduces the risk of rust and extends the equipment's service life. The cleaning mechanism 11 is a conventional water spraying device, which generally includes pipes and multiple nozzles installed on the pipes. Part of the pipes is used to spray cleaning fluid, and part is used to blow air to quickly dry the drum after cleaning. A drain outlet is formed on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 10 to discharge or recycle the sprayed cleaning fluid.

[0032] Furthermore, the rotary drum cleaning equipment includes a first drive unit 3 electrically connected to the control device 5. The first drive unit 3 is used to drive the door 2 to rotate to open or close the cleaning chamber 10. Specifically, the first side 20 of the door 2 is hinged to the cleaning chamber 1 via a heavy-duty hydraulic hinge, allowing the door 2 to rotate stably around the hinge. A first rotating shaft 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning chamber 1, and the main body 31 of the first drive unit 3 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 14. A second rotating shaft 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the door 2, and the first output shaft 30 of the first drive unit 3 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 22. This arrangement allows the first drive unit 3 to drive the first output shaft 30 to move along the axial direction of the first drive unit 3, thereby driving the door 2 to rotate around the hinge. Furthermore, the first drive unit 3 is positioned relatively close to the hinge, effectively reducing its size, facilitating stable equipment operation, and saving costs.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The rotary drum cleaning device provided in this application also includes at least one second driving member 4. The second driving member 4 is located away from the first side 20. A pressing member 41 is fixed on the second output shaft 40 of the second driving member 4. The pressing member 41 can abut against the hatch 2. The second driving member 4 is used to drive the pressing member 41 to rotate around the axis of the second output shaft 40 and to move along the axis of the second output shaft 40, so that the hatch 2 can be further sealed, preventing the hatch 2 from not closing tightly and avoiding the risk of leakage.

[0034] In detail, the second driving component 4 is a rotary cylinder. When the hatch 2 is not closed, the pressing component 41 is in a position that does not obstruct the movement of the hatch 2, preferably a horizontal position. When the first driving component 3 drives the hatch 2 to close, the second driving component 4 can drive the pressing component 41 to rotate 90° first, and then retract along the axis of the second output shaft 40 to abut against the hatch 2, thereby further sealing the hatch 2. Moreover, since the second driving component 4 is located away from the first side 20, simple mechanical analysis shows that the second driving component 4 only requires a small force to keep the hatch 2 tightly closed.

[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, two second driving members 4 are provided, and are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the hatch 2. This arrangement ensures that all four corners of the hatch 2 can bear force when it is tightly closed, further preventing leakage and improving equipment safety.

[0036] Optionally, the pressing member 41 includes a connector 410 and a pressing block 411. One end of the connector 410 is fixedly connected to the second output shaft 40 of the second drive member 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the pressing block 411, serving a connecting function. The pressing block 411 is used to abut against the hatch 2, and the pressing block 411 is at least partially made of an elastic material. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing block 411 is supported by a rubber material to avoid scratching the hatch 2. Of course, in other optional embodiments, a protective layer can be attached to the pressing block 411 to achieve the same effect.

[0037] Further reference Figure 3 The rotary drum cleaning equipment also includes a sealing element. The sealing element is arranged around the opening 100 of the cleaning chamber 10 and abuts against the door 2 and the cleaning chamber 1 to achieve a sealing effect and prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking. In detail, a sealing rib 21 is provided on the side of the cleaning chamber 1 near the door 2. The sealing rib 21 is arranged around the opening 100, and a continuous receiving groove 210 is recessed on the sealing rib 21. The sealing element is engaged in the receiving groove 210, and a part of it is exposed outside the receiving groove 210 to abut against the door 2.

[0038] In addition, to accommodate the raised sealing rib 21, a boss 23 is formed on the hatch 2, and the shape of the boss 23 matches that of the opening 100. When the hatch 2 is closed, the boss 23 can be accommodated within the opening 100 to further improve the sealing effect.

[0039] Optional, refer to Figure 5 The rotating drum cleaning equipment provided in this embodiment also includes a lifting tool cart 6 for transporting the rotating drum. A pair of symmetrical guide frames 12 are provided at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 1. The lifting tool cart 6 can move along the arrangement direction of the guide frames 12 to guide the lifting tool cart 6.

[0040] The lifting cart 6 includes a base plate 60, a gantry frame 61, and a lifting support fork plate 62. The base plate 60 supports the gantry frame 61 and is equipped with casters at its bottom for easy movement. The lifting support fork plate 62 holds the rotating drum and is vertically mounted on the gantry frame 61. A drive mechanism on the gantry frame 61 drives the lifting support fork plate 62 to move vertically; this is an existing mechanism and will not be elaborated upon here. When the operator pushes the lifting cart 6 to the front of the cleaning chamber 1, the base plate 60 can be engaged between the two guide frames 12, ensuring that the lifting cart 6 can only move along the direction of the guide frames 12, thus guaranteeing that the rotating drum can be transported to the designated position and reducing operational difficulty.

[0041] Further reference Figure 4 The guide frame 12 also includes an inclined portion 121 connected to the guide portion 120, and the inclined portion 121 is inclined away from the axis X. This arrangement makes the two inclined portions 121 V-shaped, with the opening facing outward of the cleaning chamber 1, so that the operator can snap the bottom plate 60 between the two guide frames 12 and avoid snapping failure.

[0042] Optionally, the cleaning chamber 10 is provided with a pair of parallel support frames 13 for supporting the rotating drum. The guide frame 12 includes a guide portion 120, which is arranged parallel to the support frames 13. When the operator pushes the lifting tool cart 6 into position, the rotating drum is located above the pair of support frames 13. At this time, the lifting support fork 62 can be operated to lower to place the rotating drum on the support frames 13. The width of the lifting support fork 62 is smaller than the gap between the two support frames 13 to facilitate the removal of the rotating drum after placement.

[0043] In addition, the control device 5 includes a display screen 50 and multiple control buttons 51. The display screen 50 shows the cleaning progress to remind the operator to remove the drum in time, and the control buttons 51 control the operation of the equipment.

[0044] The working principle of the rotary drum cleaning equipment provided by this invention is as follows:

[0045] After the equipment is started, the second drive unit 4 drives the pressing member 41 to extend along the axis of the second drive unit 4, and then drives the pressing member 41 to rotate 90° around the axis. Then the first drive unit 3 starts and drives the door 2 to open. At this time, the operator pushes the lifting tool cart 6 to the front of the opening 100, and engages the base plate 60 between the two guide frames 12. The operator pushes the lifting tool cart 6 along the arrangement direction of the guide frames 12 to transport the lifting support fork plate 62 and the rotating cage above it into the cleaning chamber 10. Then the operator operates the lifting tool cart 6 to lower the lifting support fork plate 62, places the rotating cage on the support frame 13, and pushes the lifting tool cart 6 away. Finally, the first drive unit 3 drives the door 2 to close, the second drive unit 4 drives the pressing member 41 to rotate 90° around the axis, and then retracts along the axis of the second drive unit 4, so that the pressing block 411 abuts against the door 2, and the cleaning mechanism 11 starts to clean the rotating cage.

[0046] The rotary drum cleaning equipment provided in this application ensures the sealing of the door 2 by setting an additional second drive component 4, ensuring that the cleaning chamber 1 will not leak during operation, thereby improving the safety of the equipment.

[0047] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
