The gripper 807 may further include, for example, a rubber packing (not shown) or the like so as to increase the fixing force. Hereinafter, the transfer process of the fourth transfer unit 80 will be described in detail.

The first frame 803 moves along the guide rail 801 to the upper portion of the inner cylinder 90 when the inner cylinder 90 moves to the side of the deposit unit 10 through the first transfer unit 50. Then, the second frame 805 vertically descends toward the inner cylinder 90. When the second frame 805 comes into contact with the upper portion of the inner cylinder 90, the gripper 807 catches both ends of the inner cylinder 90 and fixes the inner cylinder 90 to the gripper 807. Then, the second frame 805 rises again vertically, and the first frame 803 moves to the upper portion of the deposit portion 10. When the first frame 803 moves to the upper portion of the deposit portion 10, the second frame 805 vertically descends again. The gripper 807 releases the fixing force to both ends of the inner cylinder 90 when the inner cylinder 90 is seated in the sedimentation tank 101 inside the deposit portion 10 through the vertical descent of the second frame 805 . Then, the deposit portion 10 hardens the surface of the incense capsule inside the inner tube which is seated.

When the hardening process of the deposition unit 10 is completed, the operation of the fourth transfer unit 80 proceeds in the same manner as described above, so that the inner tube 90 is moved to the cleaning unit 20 and the cleaning process proceeds. When the inner tube 90 completes the washing process, the inner tube 90 is moved to the liquid-removing unit 30 by the operation of the fourth transfer unit 80, and the liquid-removing process proceeds. When the inner cylinder 90 completes the dewatering process, the inner cylinder 90 moves to the second transfer unit 60 by the operation of the fourth transfer unit 80. Hereinafter, each process of the incense capsule hardening apparatus will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

As shown in Fig. 3, the inner cylinder 90 includes an incense capsule therein and moves to the side of the deposit portion 10 through the first transfer portion 50. As shown in Fig. At this time, the first weight measuring apparatus 501 measures the weight of the inner cylinder 90. The first weight measuring device 501 can measure the total weight of the perfume capsules accommodated in the inner tube 90 through the weight of the inner tube 90.

The inner cylinder 90 moves from the first transfer part 50 to the deposit part 10 through the fourth transfer part 80. The deposit unit 10 includes a sedimentation tank 101 and a first supply unit 105. When the inner tube 90 is seated in the sedimentation tank 101, the hardened solution is supplied to the sedimentation tank 101 through the first supply unit 105. In this case, the curing solution may be supplied through the first supply unit 105 by calculating the amount of about 1 to about 3 times the weight of the incense capsule measured by the first weighing apparatus 501.

The curing solution of the incense capsule may comprise a calcium chloride solution and an alcohol solution. In the incense capsule treatment, the encapsulant of the incense capsule can increase the capsule strength and improve the moisture resistance through ionic bonding with the calcium cation in the calcium chloride solution. As a result, the shape and quality of the capsule can be maintained stably even with changes in the atmospheric environment. The fragrance capsule contained in the inner cylinder 90 is bubbled with the curing solution. The deposition section 10 may further include a first bubbling apparatus 103 that facilitates stirring.

The inner tube 90 moves from the deposit portion 10 to the cleaning portion 20 through the fourth transfer portion 80. The cleaning portion 20 includes a cleaning bath 201, a second bubbling device 203, and a second supply portion 205. When the inner tube 90 is placed on the washing tub 201, the washing solution is supplied to the washing tub 201 through the second supplying portion 205. The cleaning solution may be alcohol. The cleaning solution may be supplied through the second supply unit 205 by calculating the amount of about 1 to about 3 times the weight of the incense capsule measured by the first weighing apparatus 501. The second bubbling device 203 may bubble the cleaning solution to clean the incense capsule. In this case, a vortex is generated in the cleaning solution, and the curing solution remaining on the surface of the incense capsule can be efficiently cleaned.

The inner tube 90 moves from the washing section 20 to the liquid-removing section 30 through the fourth transfer section 80. The liquid-removing unit 30 includes a liquid-removing tank 301, a rotating device 303, and a collecting unit 305. When the inner tube 90 is seated in the deodorization tank 301, the deodorization tank 301 is rotated at a medium speed in the direction of the arrow by the rotating device 303. As a result, the cleaning solution on the surface of the incense capsule is removed by centrifugal force. The washing solution removed from the incense capsule is discharged to the outside of the deodorization tank 301 through the lower recovery unit 305 of the removal tank 301.

The inner cylinder 90 moves from the liquid-removing unit 30 to the second conveying unit 60 through the fourth conveying unit 80. The second transfer part (60) moves the fragrance capsule contained in the inner cylinder (90) to the third transfer part (70). The third transfer part 70 is connected to the drying part 40. Hereinafter, the second conveyance unit 60, the third conveyance unit 70, and the drying unit 40 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

As shown in Fig. 4, the second transfer section 60 includes a seat portion 601 and a pivoting device 603. The inner cylinder 90 can be inclined in the direction of the arrow by the rotating device 603 when the inner cylinder 90 moves to the seating portion 601 through the fourth transfer portion 80. [ The fragrance capsule C accommodated in the inner cylinder 90 can move from the inner cylinder 90 to the third transfer portion 70.

The incense capsule (C) enters the drying section (40) through the third transfer section (70). Air can be injected into the third transfer part 70 so that the incense capsule C can be moved to the drying part 40 by the air. The drying unit 40 includes a mesh net 401 and a draft device 403. The incense capsule C moved from the third transfer unit 70 is drawn into the mesh net 401 to dry the surface of the incense capsule C. The mesh net 401 helps to dry the incense capsule C while rotating in the direction of the arrow. The drying unit 40 may further include a motor and gears for rotating the mesh screen 401. The breeze device 403 can blow dry wind. The breeze device 403 can use a fan or the like that generates wind. The incense capsule C that has been dried can be gathered through the fifth conveying unit 701. The collected incense capsule (C) can monitor the yield by measuring the total weight of the incense capsule through a second weighing device (not shown).
