Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Drying is a crucial step in the production of soft capsules, directly affecting their moisture content, stability, and shelf life. Currently, the most widely used drying equipment in the industry is the drum dryer, whose core component is the drying drum. The rotation of the drum causes the soft capsules to continuously tumble inside, contacting the drying airflow to achieve dehydration and drying.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: When using current soft capsule drying rollers, they are mostly single cylindrical structures without internal guide or diversion components. During the rotation of the roller, soft capsules are prone to local accumulation, resulting in insufficient contact between some soft capsules and the drying airflow, leading to uneven drying and large differences in moisture content.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a soft capsule drying roller to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soft capsule drying roller to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Currently, soft capsule drying rollers are mostly single cylindrical structures without internal guide or diversion components. As a result, soft capsules are prone to local accumulation during the rotation of the roller, leading to insufficient contact between some soft capsules and the drying airflow, resulting in uneven drying and large differences in moisture content.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows: A soft capsule drying roller includes a casing. A cover is installed on the outer top of the casing. A hot air blower is installed on one end face of the casing, and the output end of the hot air blower is fixedly connected to one end face of the casing. A pair of retainers are installed on the top of the casing, and a roller is rotatably connected to the inner side of the retainers. A guide frame is installed on the inner side of the roller. A drive mechanism for rotating the roller is installed on one end face of one of the retainers. A feeding mechanism for feeding material to the roller is provided on one end face of the cover. A discharge port is opened on the other end face of the cover. A discharge hopper for receiving material from the roller is provided inside the discharge port. The bottom end of the discharge hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the casing. A plurality of air blowing holes are opened on the top of the casing, and a plurality of exhaust holes are opened on the top of the cover.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor, one end face of which is fixedly connected to one end face of one of the cages, the output end of which passes through the other end face of one of the cages, a gear is mounted on the output end of the motor, and a gear ring is mounted on one end face of the guide frame, the gear and the gear ring meshing.

[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the motor of the drive mechanism provides stable power, and the gear meshes with the gear ring to convert the motor rotation into the low-speed rotation of the roller.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding hopper, one end of which penetrates one end face of the machine cover and extends into the interior of the roller cage. Brackets are installed on both sides of the feeding hopper, and one end of each bracket is fixedly connected to one end face of the machine housing.

[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the soft capsules can be temporarily stored and continuously conveyed in batches through the feeding hopper of the feeding mechanism, avoiding feeding interruption. One end of the feeding hopper extends into the inside of the roller cage to ensure that the soft capsules fall directly into the roller cage, reducing raw material waste. The feeding hopper is fixed by the bracket to prevent the feeding hopper from shifting due to vibration.

[0011] Furthermore, the flow guide is spiral-shaped.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the spiral shape of the guide frame guides the soft capsules to move spirally along the inner wall of the drum, extending the drying time and ensuring thorough drying.

[0013] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is installed at the top of the interior of the chassis.

[0014] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the temperature of the drying environment can be monitored in real time by the temperature sensor at the top of the chassis, avoiding excessively high temperatures that could cause the soft capsule shell to age or excessively low temperatures that could cause insufficient drying.

[0015] Furthermore, support bases are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the chassis, and the bottom of the support bases is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0016] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the stability of the device is improved by installing support bases at the four corners of the bottom of the chassis.

[0017] Furthermore, a control panel is installed on one side of the chassis.

[0018] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the temperature, drum speed and feed rate of the drying parameters can be centrally set through the control panel on one side of the machine, replacing the decentralized adjustment.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the soft capsule drying roller provides a rigid load-bearing frame for the entire device through the casing, ensuring stable operation of the roller; the hood forms a sealed drying space, reducing heat loss and improving energy utilization; a hot air blower provides stable hot air, which, together with the air blowing holes at the top of the casing, achieves uniform distribution of hot air, ensuring uniform heating of the soft capsules; the retainer fixes the roller, ensuring smooth rotation of the roller; the guide frame on the inner side of the roller guides the soft capsules to move in an orderly manner, avoiding adhesion; the drive mechanism drives the roller to rotate, realizing the tumbling and drying of soft capsules; the feeding mechanism and the discharge hopper work together to realize continuous feeding and discharging of soft capsules, replacing intermittent drying; and the exhaust vents discharge hot and humid air. This utility model can effectively achieve continuous drying and uniform heating of soft capsules, ensuring that the hardness and disintegration time of the dried soft capsules meet the standards, adapting to the needs of large-scale production, and has high practical value.
