Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drug-dispersing and packaging device for packaging a plurality of drugs into individual packages according to prescription content.

In a tablet packaging machine, generally, a method is used in which a specified number of tablets is delivered from a tablet cassette (feeder) that stores tablets with individual product names in a lump, and the tablets are enclosed in a wrapping paper. ..

As described in Patent Document 1, this tablet cassette realizes stable feeding by individually determining the size and angle of the feeding portion for each shape of the tablet, and therefore it is necessary to manufacture it for each type of tablet. There is. That is, when a new tablet is released, it is necessary to manufacture a dedicated tablet cassette suitable for it. However, in the case of a rectangular or triangular tablet, or even a half-moon tablet obtained by dividing a round tablet, clogging is likely to occur in this tablet cassette, and it is often the case that the tablet cassette cannot be dispensed.

As described above, as a method for packaging a new drug for which a dedicated tablet cassette has not yet been manufactured or a tablet that is difficult to be dispensed, a “medicine handing device” as described in Patent Document 2 is used. This medicine sprinkling device is a horizontal plane, and each square of a pre-dispersion cassette arranged orthogonally to the X-column direction and the Y-row direction is manually filled with a medicine corresponding to one package, for example, morning, noon, and evening. Hand over multiple days in order. Then, by mounting the pre-dispersion cassette that has been sprinkled on the packaging machine, and opening the bottom surface of the mass of the pre-dispersion cassette, the masses are stored in the compartments of the multi-row conveyor provided below the pre-dispersion cassette. Dropped tablets. After that, the multi-row conveyor moves in the row direction by one division, so that the tablets stored in the one-row compartments are dropped into the single-row conveyor compartment. Further, by moving the single-row conveyor by one section in the row direction, the tablets in the one-section chamber are dropped and stored in the packaging paper, and the individual packaging is performed individually.

JP, 2005-12893, A Japanese Patent No. 6362112

The medicine sprinkling device described in Patent Document 2 has the following problems. That is, in such a sprinkling device, by opening the bottom of the mass of the pre-dispersion cassette, the tablets fall into each compartment of the multi-row conveyor, at which time the bottom surface of the mass of the pre-dispersion cassette and the multi-row There is a problem that the conveyor enters the adjacent compartment through the gap between the upper ends of the compartments. There is also a problem that the tablet that has once dropped will bounce back due to the reaction of colliding with the bottom of the compartment and enter the adjacent compartment, and the tablet will be lost.

Further, as another problem, the tablets dropped into the compartment of the multi-row conveyor are blocked in a single box in the compartment of the multi-row conveyor, and the tablets move in a bridge shape, causing the multi-row conveyor to move and to In rare cases, a tablet clogged in a bridge shape does not fall even if the open surface faces downward. In Patent Document 2, in order to reduce such bridge-like clogging, the compartment is configured by being divided into a box main body on the front side in the transfer direction and an opening/closing lid on the rear side. By opening to the main body, the bridge of tablets that is bridged between the front wall of the box main body and the rear wall of the opening/closing lid is eliminated.

However, the device described in Patent Document 2 cannot eliminate the bridge of tablets bridged to both side walls in the direction orthogonal to the transport direction of the box body. The frequency of occurrence of this bridge is low, but when this occurs, there is a problem that the number of tablets in the corresponding individual package decreases. In addition, at other times, the bridged tablets may collapse and cause serious problems such as mixing with other individually packed tablets. Such a phenomenon is likely to occur during the rainy season when the humidity is high, or during the dry season when static electricity is likely to occur.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the medicine hand-dispersing and packaging apparatus of the present invention has a column direction and a row direction in which a plurality of substantially rectangular masses for accommodating the medicines to be packaged are orthogonal to each other. And a pre-dispersion cassette in which the bottoms of the plurality of masses are formed of a shield plate that can be opened and closed, and an upper surface that is open below the pre-dispersion cassette and is provided to face each of the masses, When the shielding plate is opened, there are a plurality of rectangular boxes that contain the medicines that fall, and a transfer device that connects these boxes for each row and transfers them in the row direction, and the transfer device is the box body. Between the bottom of the pre-dispersion cassette and the upper end of the box of the transfer device, which receives the medicine falling from the box at the front end in the transfer direction by transferring A gap shielding member that is provided in the space and that prevents the medicine from moving through the gap between the bottom of the mass and the upper end of the box by shielding the gap between the columns and rows of the adjacent boxes and the adjacent boxes. And.

Hereinafter, the medicine hand-dispensing packaging device of the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a tablet packing machine to which the present invention is applied, in which (a) is a front view and (b) is a right side view.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a tablet packing machine main body, and tablets discharged from a large number of tablet cassettes 15 that are detachably installed on a drawer shelf 14 at the upper stage of the housing 11 and tablets discharged from the tablet sprinkling device 20. All are collected by the diagonal chute 13 and further sent to the packaging machine 12 in the lower part of the casing 11 to be separately packaged in a packaging paper, whereby the tablets are packaged. The packaging machine 12 is a well-known one as described in, for example, JP-A-2006-321516. Here, the left-right direction is the X direction in FIG. 1A viewed from the front of the tablet packaging machine 10, and the depth direction is the Y direction in FIG. 1B viewed from the right direction.

The tablet sprinkling device 20 is provided in the middle part of the housing 11 of the tablet packing machine 10 as described above, and when the tablets are sprinkled, an upper slide frame 22 of the tablet sprinkling device 20 to be described later is used. The pre-dispersion cassette can be pulled out from the front surface of the housing 11 and removed from the front surface of the housing 11. Further, after the manual sprouting is finished, the preliminary sprouting cassette is set, and then the sliding sill 22 is pushed back or the switch is operated to store the preliminary sprouting cassette in the housing 11. In that state, the medicine is sequentially discharged to the oblique chute 13 in association with the packing operation of the medicine packing machine 10.

That is, generally-used tablets are supplied from the tablet cassette 15 dedicated to each tablet, and are tablets that are new drugs and are not provided with the dedicated tablet cassette 15, or irregularly shaped tablets that are difficult to deliver in the dedicated tablet cassette, or Tablets divided into half tablets for children are supplied from the pre-dispersion cassette. With such a configuration, a tablet packing machine capable of packing various tablets can be realized without preparing a large number of tablet cassettes 15 for exclusive use.

It should be noted that, although the following description will be made using tablets, the present invention is not limited to tablets, and is also applicable to solid drugs such as capsules, disk-shaped drugs, pills, and cylindrical drugs. ..

2 to 5 are perspective views of the tablet hand-spreading device 20, showing a state in which the tablet hand-spreading device 20 is detached from the tablet packaging machine 10. The tablet hand-dispersing device 20 accommodates a pre-dispersion cassette, which will be described later, in which 56 columns of 8 columns in the X-column direction (horizontal direction) and 7 rows in the Y-row direction (depth direction) are arranged.

Also, as shown in FIG. 1, the tablet hand-dispersing device 20 is provided with a slide frame 22 on the upper part, and the slide frame 22 can be pulled out to the front side of the tablet packing machine 10 with respect to the main body of the tablet hand-scattering device 20. is there. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state where the slide frame 22 is pulled out.

The slide frame 22 is composed of, in order from the bottom, a cassette mounting table 24, a pre-dispersion cassette 26 mounted on the cassette mounting table 24, and an LED guide display frame 28 slidable on the pre-dispersion cassette 26. There is. The state where the slide frame 22 is pulled out from the tablet hand-spreading device 20 is shown in FIG. 3, and the LED guide display frame 28 is slid to the inside of the medicine packaging machine 10 with respect to the slide frame 22 so that the pre-dispersion cassette 26 can be removed. The states are shown in FIG. 4, respectively. Further, FIG. 5 shows a state in which the pre-dispersion cassette 26 is removed from the cassette mounting table 24.

More specifically, a pair of rails 23, 23 are provided at both ends in the X-row direction at the upper part of the tablet hand-spreading device 20, and the slide frame 22 can slide on these rails 23, 23. It has become. Further, a pair of rails 25, 25 are formed at both ends of the slide frame 22 in the X-column direction, and an LED guide display frame 28 is slidably provided on the rails 25, 25.

Then, when the tablets are manually spread on the pre-dispersion cassette 26, the slide frame 22 is pulled out of the tablet packing machine 10 from the main body of the tablet spraying device 20. After that, the LED guide display frame 28 is pushed back into the tablet packing machine 10, and the exposed pre-dispersion cassette 26 is removed. In this state, the necessary tablets are stored (sprinkled) in the respective masses 27, 27... Of the pre-dispersion cassette 26. After that, the pre-dispersion cassette 26 containing the tablets is returned to the cassette placing table 24 (state of FIG. 4), the LED guide display frame 28 is pulled out (state of FIG. 3), and the entire slide frame 22 is moved to the tablet packaging machine 10. Push it back in. This allows the tablets to be packaged from the device 20.

The LED guide display frame 28 guides the operator to the position of the mass to be spread when the tablets are spread on the respective cells of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 with the pre-dispersion cassette 26 placed on the cassette mounting table 24. Is displayed.

Next, the outline of the internal structure of the tablet hand-spreading device 20 will be described.

FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a cross section of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 in the X direction, and FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing a cross section of the tablet hand dispersing device 20 in the Y direction.

As shown in FIG. 6, shield plates 104 and 105 that open and close on both sides in the X direction are provided on the bottom surface of the mass 27 of the pre-dispersion cassette 26. The shield plates 104 and 105 are common to all the masses 27, and the drive mechanism (not shown) moves the shield plate 104 to the right in the drawing, and the shield plate 105 moves to the left in the drawing, so that the mass of the mass 27 is reduced. The bottom is opened. As shown in FIG. 6A, the tablets P are spread on each mass 27 in a state where the bottom surface of the mass 27 is closed by the shielding plates 104 and 105. When the pre-dispersion cassette 26 in which the tablets are thus spread is set in the tablet-dispersing device 20 and the tablet packing is started, the shielding plates 104 and 105 on the bottom surface of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 are opened, as shown in FIG. 6(b). As shown, the tablets P in the mass 27 fall downward.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a transfer device 106 is provided below the pre-dispersion cassette 26 to accommodate the tablets P dropped from each mass 27 of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 and convey the tablets P in the arrow Y row direction. The transfer device 106 includes an endless conveyor belt 108 that is wound around a pair of pulleys 107 (only one of which is shown) provided as rotating bodies provided at both ends in the Y-row direction, and a bottom portion of the conveyor belt 108. And a box 109 to which is attached. Then, as the pulley 107 rotates, the conveyor belt 108 moves. Above the conveyor belt 108, these boxes 109 move in a linked manner in the Y direction with their upper surfaces open. Further, these boxes 109 rotate at the pulley 107 along the pulley 107, and on the lower side of the conveyor belt 108, the opening is directed downwards in the direction opposite to the Y direction, that is, from left to right in the figure. Move to. Further, the pulley (not shown) on the right side is rotated to bring the opening of the box body 109 into the upper surface. The transfer device 106 is independent for each row, and the pulley 107 and the conveyor belt 108 are also independently driven.

In the transfer device 106, the shielding plates 104 and 105 are opened in a state where the box 109 is stopped at a position corresponding to each cell of the pre-dispersion cassette 26, so that the tablets P are simultaneously boxed from each cell. Be dropped into. Then, as the pulley 107 rotates, the conveyor belt 108 moves intermittently by one box, whereby the box 109 rotates at the pulley 107. With this rotation, the tablets P stored in the box 109 drop downward as shown by the broken line in FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 1, the dropped tablets P are sent to a lower packaging machine 12 via an oblique chute 13 and packaged one by one with wrapping paper.

A gap shielding member 113 is provided in the gap Z between the bottom surface of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 and the upper end of the box 109 of the transfer device 106. The gap blocking member 113 also serves as the cassette mounting table 24 on which the pre-dispersion cassette 26 is mounted. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a portion corresponding to each mass 27 of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 is punched out from one plate material, and the frame portion left after punching is the gap shielding member. It is 113. The gap shielding member 113 is provided between the box 109 immediately below and the adjacent box when the tablets P drop from each mass 27 of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 when the shield plates 104 and 105 are opened. To prevent the movement of the. Further, the tablets P dropped from the mass 27 collide with the bottom surface of the box 109 and also prevent the tablets P from moving to the adjacent box 109 even when the tablets P bounce upward due to the reaction.

As shown in FIG. 7, as the conveyor belt 108 moves, the box 109 rotates around the pulley 107. At that time, the rotation locus of the upper end 112 at the rear end in the transfer direction of the box 109 is indicated by a broken line R from the relationship between the mounting portion of the box 109 on the conveyor belt 108 and the length of the box 109 in the transfer direction. It will swell upwards. For this reason, it is not possible to provide the same gap blocking member 113 as the other masses on the downstream side of the most downstream mass 27 in the transfer direction. For this reason, a shutter member 123 movable in the transfer direction is provided on the downstream side of the most downstream mass. As will be described in detail later, the shutter member 123 is pressed by the moving box body 109, and thus retracts from the rotation path of the box body 109 when the box body 109 rotates as indicated by an arrow Q in the figure. It is like this.

Further, for the same reason, the width of the gap shielding member 113 between the adjacent masses in the X-row direction of the most downstream mass is also formed to be smaller than the width of the gap shielding members 113 of the other masses. As a result, when the box 109 is rotated, the gap shielding member 113 is formed at a portion outside the rotation path of the box 109. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

Next, the internal structure of the tablet spreading device 20 will be described in detail.

8 is a perspective view of a section of the tablet hand-spreading device 20 shown in FIG. 2 taken along line VI-VI, and FIG. 9 is a sectional view. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a pre-dispersion cassette 26 is mounted on the cassette mounting table 24 below the LED guide display frame 28. Further, below the pre-dispersion cassette 26, there is provided a transfer device 106 having a pair of pulleys 107, an endless conveyor belt 108 hung around the pulleys 107, and a box 109 having a bottom portion mounted on the conveyor belt 108. There is. The pulleys 107 are formed separately for each row, and the transfer device 106 can be driven for each row. This is to drive only the transfer device 106 in any row when discharging one package.

Then, when the transfer device 106 transfers one box while the tablets P are stored, the box body 109 at the end rotates about the pulley 107, and the tablets P stored inside are dropped onto the diagonal chute 13. The box body that has been dropped moves from the left side to the right side in the figure via the lower side of the conveyor belt 108. Then, the pulley 107 on the right side, that is, the upper end of the box 109 is rotated upward by rotating on the upstream side in the transfer direction. The position of rotation on the upstream side is one square upstream of the most extreme square on the upstream side in the transfer direction. This is because, when the upper end of the box 109 is turned upward, the turning locus of the upper end of the box 109 bulges upward, and the uppermost mass is turned in a portion where there is no gap shielding member. .. As can be seen from FIGS. 8 and 9, the number of squares in the Y-row direction of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 is 7, while the number of boxes facing the upper side of the transfer device 106 is n+1, that is, 8 and is rotated on the upstream side of the most upstream mass of the pre-dispersion cassette 26.

Next, the gap shielding member on the downstream side of the most downstream mass will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view of the cassette mounting table 24 (also serving as the gap shielding member 113) of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 and the box 109 of the transfer device 106. Further, FIG. 11 is an enlarged perspective view of the opening/closing mechanism of the box 109 and the shutter 123 without the cassette mounting table 24. As shown in FIG. 10, the cassette mounting table 24 is formed by punching out a portion corresponding to the mass 27 of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 from one plate material. In FIG. 10, the box 109 of the transfer device 106 moves to the downstream side in the transfer direction with respect to the position of the mass of the pre-dispersion cassette, and the most downstream box starts to rotate. The cassette mounting table 24 is provided with a shutter 123 that can be opened and closed in the transfer direction on the downstream side of the mass in the transfer direction of the transfer device 106 in the transfer direction. The shutter 123 is slidably provided in a groove 24a formed in the cassette mounting table 24.

Further, the shutter 123 is formed integrally with the lever 124 as shown in FIG. The lever 124 is elastically biased rightward in the drawing by a compression spring 125. Therefore, the shutter 123 is also elastically biased rightward in the figure. The shutter 123 is in the right direction in the figure when dropping tablets from each mass 27 of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 to the box 109, and is regulated so that the tablets dropped from the mass 27 do not move to the downstream side of the box 109. doing. The shutter 123 is moved to the left in the figure when the box 109 rotates around the pulley 107 in order to discharge the tablets stored in the box 109 to the diagonal chute 13.

That is, a protruding contact portion 109i is provided on the outside on the left side of the box body 109 in the transfer direction. Then, the abutment portion 109i of the box body 109 presses the lever 124 while the box body 109 is moving in the transfer direction as the conveyor belt 108 is driven. By this pressing, the lever 124 is pressed to the left side in the drawing, and the shutter 123 moves in the arrow direction. The movement of the shutter 123 causes the shutter 123 to retreat from the rotation trajectory (path) of the box 109. As described above, when the tablets P are dropped from the mass 27 of the pre-dispersion cassette 26 to the box 109 of the transfer device 106, the gap shielding member 113 and the shutter 123 constituting the gap shielding member are located at the lower end of the mass and the box 109. It is possible to prevent the falling tablet P from moving to the adjacent box 109 by blocking the gap with the upper end. Further, the gap shielding member in the transfer direction of the mass at the end portion in the transfer direction of the transfer device 106 is composed of a shutter 123 movable in the transfer direction. Then, since the shutter 123 is moved by being pressed by the abutting member 109i formed on the moving box 109, the shutter 109 can be retracted from the rotation path accompanying the rotation of the box 109. With respect to the shutter 123 as well, the shutters in each row can be independently moved, and can be moved by the respective box bodies 109 in each row.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the width W2 of the gap blocking member 113 corresponding to the most downstream side mass in the X direction is smaller than the width W1 of the gap blocking member 113 corresponding to the other upstream side masses. Has been formed. That is, the opening surrounded by the gap blocking member 113 is formed wide. As a result, when the box body 109 rotates around the pulley 107, the gap shielding member 113 in the X direction also exists outside the rotation path of the box body 109 and does not hinder the rotation of the box body 109. There is.

Next, the structure of the box for transferring the tablets P will be described with reference to FIG.

12A and 12B show the structure of the box 109. FIG. 12A is a left side view, FIG. 12B is a plan view, and FIG. 12C is a right side view. Further, (d) is an exploded perspective view of the box 109, (e) is a perspective view showing a state in which the main body box and the opening/closing lid of the box are closed, and (f) is the main body box and the opening/closing lid. It is a perspective view showing the state where and were opened a little.

The box 109 includes a bottom surface portion 109a mounted on the conveyor belt 108, a transfer direction front wall 109b formed continuously with the bottom surface portion 109a, and both sides formed continuously with the bottom surface wall 109a and the front wall 109b. It has a body box 109A having walls 109c, 109d. Further, it has an opening/closing lid 109B rotatably provided about a rotation shaft 109e formed on the bottom surface 109a of the main body box 109A. The opening/closing lid 109B is continuous with the rear surface wall 109f that closes the rear surface of the main body box 109A and the rear surface wall 109f. Outside the right side wall 109d of the main body box 109A when the main body box 109A is closed by the rear surface wall 109f. It has an outer side wall 109g located therein and an inner side wall 109h located inside the left side wall 109c.

Further, an abutting portion 109i for abutting against the lever 124 of the shutter 123 and pressing the lever 124 is provided on the outside on the left side of the main body box 109A. Further, a convex portion 109j for opening the opening/closing lid 109B is provided on the outer side wall 109g of the opening/closing lid 109B. Note that 109m is a device that is formed on the outside of the bottom surface 109a and that is mounted on the conveyor belt 108.

When the box body 109 formed in this way rotates at the portion of the pulley 107, the opening/closing lid 109B rotates with respect to the main body box 109A to open the box body 109. The function of releasing the bridge of the tablet bridged between the front wall 109b and the rear wall 109f in the box 109 by opening the box 109 is the same as the configuration described in Patent Document 2.

In this embodiment, when the opening/closing lid 109B closes the main body box 109A, the inner side wall 109h is located inside the main body box 109A, and the outer side wall 109g of the opening/closing lid 109B is located outside the main body box 109A. Therefore, the tablet in which the tablet is bridged in the box 109 in the direction orthogonal to the transfer direction can also be released. That is, when the tablets are bridged in the direction orthogonal to the transfer direction, they are bridged between the inner side wall 109h of the opening/closing lid 109B and the right side wall 109d of the main body box 109A. Then, when the box 109 rotates, the opening/closing lid 109B is opened with respect to the main body box 109A, and the side wall 109d and the inner side wall 109h are displaced. As a result, the bridge in the direction orthogonal to the transfer direction is also released.

Next, a mechanism in which the box body 109 opens the opening/closing lid 109B with respect to the main body box 109A at the pulley 107 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. 13 and 14 are perspective views from the right side of the pulley 107 portion.

A guide plate 130 for preventing the tablets in the box body 109 from flying out far when the box body 109 rotates is provided in a rotating portion near the pulley 107. The guide plate 130 is provided with a lever 131 extending from the outside to the inside of the guide plate 130, and a roller 132 is rotatably attached to the tip of the lever 131. The position where the rollers 132 are formed is on the movement locus of the convex portion 109j formed on the opening/closing lid 109B of the box body 109 when the box body 109 rotates around the pulley 107. Therefore, when the box 109 rotates, the movement of the convex portion 109j is restricted by the roller 132. As a result, the opening/closing lid 109B of the box body 109 is opened to the box body 109A. The operation of closing the rear surface side of the main body box 109A by the opened opening/closing lid 109B is the same as the mechanism described in Patent Document 2, and the box body 109 finishes discharging tablets and moves under the conveyor belt. At this time, by being pushed by the box 109 on the rear side, the opening/closing lid 109B is pushed toward the box body 109A, and as a result, the box 109 is closed.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the tablets discharged from the box 109 transferred by the transfer device 106 are directly supplied to the packaging machine section through the oblique chute 13, but as described in Patent Document 2. , The tablets transferred and released by the transfer devices 106 of all rows of multiple rows and multiple columns are once received by the single-row transfer device, and then transferred by the single-row transfer device to be discharged to the oblique chute. Of course, you can do that. In this case, the transfer devices in all the columns transfer one row at a time.

Although some embodiments and modifications of the present invention have been described, these embodiments and modifications are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments and modifications can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and the gist of the invention, and are also included in the invention described in the claims and the scope equivalent thereto.
