The casing (10) is usually fitted with a cover (15) capable of opening or closing the inside of the casing in the form of an open top.

The basket 20 is made of a mesh, and adopts a conventional shape of a soft capsule drying device. And a method in which the basket is rotated by the driving means can adopt the structure of the conventional soft capsule drying apparatus described above, and various known methods can be selected.

The present invention is characterized in that the driving motor 30M of the driving means 30 is positioned above the lower portion of the apparatus in order to realize a stable and efficient self-cleaning function, Since the conventional structure can be adopted as the matters deviating from the technical core of the present invention, a detailed description will be omitted.

That is, the technical point of the present invention is to stably and efficiently clean the inside / outside of the basket with the basket 20 mounted without removing it from the apparatus,

The present invention is characterized in that the driving motor of the driving means, rather than the structure of the blowing means to be described later, is positioned at the upper portion of the apparatus, unlike the conventional one.

More specifically,

A partition 11 is provided in the longitudinal direction inside the casing 10 of the present invention and the inside of the casing is divided into a first chamber 10A in which the basket 20 and the spray nozzles 513 and 533 of the cleaning means 50 are installed, And the second chamber 10B in which the driving means 30 and the blowing means 4 are provided.

That is, the first chamber 10A is a place where water such as washing water injection is used, and the second chamber 10B is provided with a driving means (in particular, a driving motor) and a blowing means, The edges of the diaphragm 11 partitioning the first chamber 10A and the second chamber 10B are sealed and waterproofed and the water used in the first chamber 10A is separated from the water used in the first chamber 10A, So that it can not flow into the second chamber through this gap.

The bottom of the first chamber is formed with a discharge hole 13 for discharging the used washing water. The bottom of the first chamber is inclined downward toward the center, and a discharge hole 13 is formed at the corresponding position So that the washing water can be collected and drained to the discharge hole naturally.

Next, the driving means 30 and the blowing means 40 installed in the second chamber will be described.

A driving motor 30M of the driving means is installed in the second chamber 10B and is installed on the upper side of the diaphragm 11. [

A horizontal panel 12 is mounted on the diaphragm 11 for attaching the components to the diaphragm 11 and a blowing fan 43 for blowing means is mounted on the horizontal panel 12. In the present invention, a blowing motor for operating the blowing fan is incorporated in the blowing fan.
