Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of capsule granule drying devices, specifically a linkage drying rotary drum. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of soft capsules, the formed capsule particles usually need to be dried. Currently, the drying of soft capsule particles is usually carried out by a single drying drum. This drying method is limited by the capacity of the drying drum and the need to ensure the drying effect, resulting in a relatively limited number of soft capsules that can be dried at one time. In order to ensure drying efficiency, multiple sets of drying drums are usually set up for drying. This drying method requires each drying drum to be fed and unloaded separately, and the drying of soft capsule particles cannot be carried out continuously, so the drying efficiency of soft capsule particles still cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a linkage drying rotary drum.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A linkage drying drum includes a main support and several sets of drying systems arranged linearly inside it, and the drying system can complete the drying of soft capsule particles.

[0005] As the core technical concept of this utility model, the drying system includes a drying cage that is horizontally arranged on a support assembly and can be driven to rotate by a drive motor. The drying cage includes a front end plate and a rear end plate arranged opposite each other, and a mesh cylinder disposed between the two end plates. Both end plates have an opening in the middle, and an insert cylinder is provided on the outside of the opening. The ends of adjacent drying cages are connected by insert cylinders. The rear end plate also has a material discharge assembly on the inside of the opening that can only discharge the dried material from the opening in the middle of the rear end plate when the drying cage is reversed.

[0006] Based on the above structure, the drying cages of multiple drying systems are connected in series. The soft capsule particles to be dried can be placed in the first drying cage and rotated by driving the first drying cage to perform rotary drying. When the next batch of soft capsule particles needs to be dried, it is only necessary to control the first drying cage to reverse. Under the action of the feeding component, the soft capsule particles in the first drying cage are moved into the next drying cage. Then, soft capsule particles are added back to the first drying cage, and the first drying cage and the second drying cage are controlled to rotate forward. This process is repeated, so that the drying of soft capsule particles can be carried out continuously and effectively, which significantly improves the drying efficiency of soft capsule particles.

[0007] As described above, in the case of a linkage drying drum, specifically regarding the structure of the feeding assembly and its installation method with the rear end plate, the inner side of the opening of the rear end plate is provided with an arc-shaped connecting plate. The feeding assembly includes a strip-shaped guide plate, one end of which is curved and fixed to the connecting plate, and the other end points towards the inner wall of the mesh cylinder. One side of the guide plate is attached to the rear end plate, and the other side is provided with a baffle. Based on this structure, a feeding trough is formed between the guide plate and the rear end plate through the guide plate and the baffle. When the drying drum rotates forward, the soft capsule particles can always remain in the drying drum under the action of the guide plate and the baffle. When the drying drum rotates in reverse, the soft capsule particles can rotate to the next drying drum along the feeding trough and the opening of the rear end plate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, to ensure that the soft capsule particles can be smoothly transferred to the next drying cage under the action of the feeding component, the central angles corresponding to the arcs at the bent ends of the connecting plate and the guide plate are both 180°.

[0009] As described above, in order to facilitate the removal of soft capsule particles from any drying cage after drying, a preferred embodiment of the interconnected drying drum has a feed inlet located in the middle of one side of the mesh cylinder, and a switch door located on the outside of the feed inlet.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the centralized collection of soft capsule particles after drying in the drying cage, a receiving tray is provided below the drying cage.

[0011] As described above, in order to ensure the stability of the support component for the drying drum, the support component includes two parallel rotating shafts, with support wheels at both ends of the two rotating shafts, and the end plate supports the upper side between the two support wheels.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, to ensure the stability of the support assembly for the drying cage, an annular groove that mates with the support wheel is provided on the outer ring of the end plate at the position corresponding to the support wheel.

[0013] As described above, in order to facilitate the better rotation and collection of soft capsule particles after drying in the tail drying cage, a discharge chute is also provided on the outer side of the opening in the middle of the rear end plate of the tail drying cage.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is a linkage drying drum, in which multiple drying drums of the drying system are connected in series. The soft capsule particles to be dried can be placed in the first drying drum, and the first drying drum is driven to rotate forward to perform rotary drying. When the next batch of soft capsule particles needs to be dried, it is only necessary to control the first drying drum to rotate in reverse. Under the action of the feeding component, the soft capsule particles in the first drying drum are moved into the next drying drum. Then, soft capsule particles are added back to the first drying drum, and the first drying drum and the second drying drum are controlled to rotate forward. This process is repeated, so that the drying of soft capsule particles can be carried out continuously and effectively, which significantly improves the drying efficiency of soft capsule particles.

[0017] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Example This embodiment provides a linked drying rotary drum; see [link]. Figure 1 It includes a main support 1 and several sets of drying systems 2 arranged linearly inside it, and the drying of soft capsule particles can be completed through the drying system 2. The structure of the drying drum (a kind of linkage drying drum mentioned above) is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 The drying system 2 includes a support assembly 22 located inside the lower side of the main support 1, and a drying cage 21 horizontally arranged on the support assembly 22 and capable of being rotated by a drive motor. The drive motor is connected to the drying cage 21 via a gear transmission structure, a chain transmission structure, or a belt transmission structure.

[0020] Combination Figure 3 The drying cage 21 includes a circular front end plate 211 and a circular rear end plate 212 arranged opposite to each other, and a cylindrical mesh cylinder 213 coaxially arranged between the front end plate 211 and the rear end plate 212. Both end plates have openings in the middle, and inserts are provided on the outer side of the openings. The ends of adjacent drying cages 21 are connected by inserts, and they do not affect each other's individual rotation. The inner side of the opening of the rear end plate 212 is also provided with a material pouring component 215 that can only lead the dried material out from the opening in the middle of the rear end plate 212 when the drying cage 21 is reversed.

[0021] Based on the above structure, the drying cages 21 of the multiple drying systems 2 are connected in series. The soft capsule particles to be dried can be placed in the first drying cage 21 and rotated by driving the first drying cage 21 to perform rotary drying. When the next batch of soft capsule particles needs to be dried, it is only necessary to control the first drying cage 21 to reverse. Under the action of the feeding component 215, the soft capsule particles in the first drying cage 21 are moved into the next drying cage 21. Then, soft capsule particles are added back to the first drying cage 21, and the first drying cage and the second drying cage 21 are controlled to rotate forward. This process is repeated, so that the drying of soft capsule particles can be carried out continuously and effectively, which significantly improves the drying efficiency of soft capsule particles.

[0022] To ensure the stability of the support assembly 22 in supporting the drying cage 21 without affecting the rotation of the drying cage 21, as a preferred embodiment of this invention, the support assembly 22 includes two parallel rotating shafts, each with a support wheel at both ends. The two end plates at both ends of the drying cage 21 are respectively supported on the upper side between the two support wheels at the ends of the two rotating shafts.

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment, to further ensure the support stability of the support assembly 22 on the drying cage 21, the outer ring of the end plate is provided with an annular groove that cooperates with the support wheel at the position corresponding to the support wheel.

[0024] In this embodiment, to facilitate the removal of soft capsule particles from any drying cage 21 after drying, and to allow for selective addition of soft capsule particles to a drying cage 21 by manual labor based on the drying time required for different soft capsules, as a preferred embodiment, the mesh cylinder 213 is provided with a material inlet in the middle of one side, and a switch door 214 is provided on the outside of the material inlet.

[0025] As a further preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the centralized collection of soft capsule particles in the drying cage 21 after drying, a receiving tray 23 is provided below the drying cage 21.

[0026] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, regarding the structure of the pouring component 215 and its installation method with the rear end plate 212, the inner side of the opening of the rear end plate 212 is provided with an arc-shaped connecting plate that is coaxial with the opening of the rear end plate 212. The pouring component 215 includes a strip-shaped guide plate 2151, one end of which is bent in an arc shape and is fixed to the connecting plate, and the other end points to the inner wall of the mesh cylinder 213, and preferably is perpendicular to the axis of the mesh cylinder 213. One side of the guide plate 2151 is attached to the inner side of the rear end plate 212, and the other side is provided with a baffle 2152.

[0027] Based on the above-mentioned pouring component 215 structure, a guide trough is formed between the guide plate 2151 and the baffle 2152 and the rear end plate 212. When the drying cage 21 rotates forward, the soft capsule particles are pushed apart by the action of the guide plate 2151 and the baffle 2152, so that they can always stay in the drying cage 21. When the drying cage 21 rotates in reverse, the soft capsule particles can smoothly turn into the next drying cage 21 through the opening of the guide trough and the rear end plate 212 under the action of the pouring component 215.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, to ensure that the soft capsule particles can be smoothly transferred to the next drying cage 21 under the action of the pouring component 215, the central angles corresponding to the arcs of the bent ends of the connecting plate and the guide plate 2151 are both 180°.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the better transfer and collection of the soft capsule particles in the drying cage 21 after drying, a discharge trough 3 is provided on the outer side of the opening in the middle of the rear end plate 212 of the drying cage 21, and the discharge trough 3 is fixedly connected to the main support 1.
