Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a manual medicine dispensing and packaging device that dispenses a plurality of medicines into individual packages one by one according to prescription contents.

A tablet packing machine generally uses a feeding mechanism to feed out a specified number of tablets from a tablet cassette (feeder) that collectively stores tablets of individual product names, and then encloses them in packaging paper. .

As described in Patent Document 1, this tablet cassette achieves stable feeding by individually determining the dimensions and angles of the feeding portion for each tablet shape. There is That is, when a new tablet is put on the market, it is necessary to manufacture a dedicated tablet cassette suitable for it. However, in the case of rectangular, triangular, or half-moon shaped tablets obtained by dividing round tablets, clogging is likely to occur in this tablet cassette, and there are many cases where feeding is impossible.

In this way, as a method for packaging new medicines for which dedicated tablet cassettes have not yet been manufactured or tablets that are difficult to feed out, a "medicine manual dispensing device" as described in Patent Document 2 is used. This manual drug sprinkling device has a horizontal surface, and manually distributes a drug corresponding to one package to each of the cells of the preliminary sprinkling cassettes arranged perpendicularly in the X column direction and the Y row direction. Sprinkle by hand for several days in the order of. Then, the pre-spreading cassette that has been spread is mounted on the packaging machine, and the bottom of the masses of the pre-spreading cassette is opened, so that each mass is accommodated in the compartment of the multi-row conveyor provided below the pre-spreading cassette. drop the tablet. Thereafter, the multi-row conveyor moves by one section in the row direction, whereby the tablets stored in one row of compartments are dropped into the compartments of the single-row conveyor. Further, by moving the single-row conveyor by one section in the row direction, the tablets in one section are dropped into the packing paper and stored in the packing paper, and the tablets are individually packaged one by one.

JP 2015-12893 A Japanese Patent No. 6362112

The manual drug dispensing device described in Patent Document 2 has the following problems. That is, in such a manual distributing device, by opening the bottom surface of the masses of the pre-scattering cassette, the tablets fall into the compartments of the multi-row conveyor. There is a problem that the gap between the upper end of each compartment of the conveyor can get into the next compartment. In addition, there is also the problem that once dropped tablets bounce off the bottom of the compartment and enter the next compartment, causing the tablets to go missing.

Another problem is that tablets that have fallen into the compartments of the multi-row conveyor are jammed together in a bridge-like manner in individual boxes in one compartment, causing the multi-row conveyor to move and lead to the end of the compartment. A rare phenomenon occurs in which the tablets packed in a bridge form do not fall even if the open surface faces downward. In Patent Document 2, in order to reduce such bridge-shaped clogging, the partitioned chamber is divided into a box main body on the front side in the transfer direction and an opening/closing lid on the rear side, and when the tablet drops, the opening/closing lid closes the box. By opening with respect to the main body, the bridge of tablets formed between the front wall of the box main body and the rear wall of the opening/closing lid is eliminated.

However, with the device described in Patent Document 2, it is not possible to eliminate the bridges of the tablets that are bridged on the side walls of the box body in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The frequency of occurrence of this bridging is low, but when it occurs, there is a problem that the number of tablets in the corresponding individual package is reduced. Furthermore, at another timing, the bridged tablet crumbles, causing serious problems such as contamination with other individually packaged tablets. Such a phenomenon tends to occur during the rainy season when humidity is high and during the dry season when static electricity is likely to occur.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. a pre-spreading cassette in which the bottom surfaces of the plurality of masses are formed of openable and closable shielding plates; a transporting device having a plurality of rectangular boxes for storing drugs that fall when the shielding plate is opened, and transporting these boxes in a row direction by connecting each row of the boxes; between the packaging unit that receives the medicine dropped from the box body at the tip of the transportation direction by transferring the medicine and encloses it in the packaging paper, and the bottom surface of the pre-dispensing cassette and the upper end of the box body of the transfer device A sheet of plate material is punched into portions corresponding to the respective masses of the pre-spreading cassette, and serves also as a mounting table for the pre-spreading cassette, and also serves as a mounting table for the adjacent mass and the adjacent box body. a gap shielding member that blocks gaps between columns and between rows to prevent movement of the drug through gaps between the bottom surface of the mass and the upper end of the box.

The pre-spreading cassette can be removed from the front surface of the housing 11 by pulling it out from the front surface of the housing 11 . Further, after the manual scattering is completed, after setting the preliminary scattering cassette, the sliding frame 22 is pushed back or the switch is operated to store the preliminary scattering cassette in the housing 11. - 特許庁In this state, the medicine is sequentially discharged to the oblique chute 13 in conjunction with the packaging operation of the medicine packaging machine 10 .

That is, generally used tablets are supplied from a dedicated tablet cassette 15 for each tablet, and the tablets are new drugs for which a dedicated tablet cassette 15 is not prepared, or irregularly shaped tablets that are difficult to feed out from a dedicated tablet cassette, or Tablets split into halves for pediatric use are supplied from a pre-dispensing cassette. With such a configuration, it is possible to realize a tablet packaging machine capable of packaging various tablets without preparing a large number of dedicated tablet cassettes 15 .

In the following explanation, tablets will be explained, but the present invention is not limited to tablets, and can also be applied to solid drugs such as capsules, disk-shaped drugs, beads, and cylindrical drugs. .

2 to 5 are perspective views of the tablet hand-dispensing device 20, showing a state of being removed from the tablet packaging machine 10. FIG. This tablet manual distribution device 20 accommodates a pre-distribution cassette, which will be described later, in which 56 cells are arranged in 8 rows in the X direction (horizontal direction) and 7 rows in the Y direction (depth direction).

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the manual tablet distributing device 20 is provided with a slide frame 22 on the upper part, and the slide frame 22 can be pulled out from the main body of the manual tablet distributing device 20 to the front side of the tablet packing machine 10. be. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the slide frame 22 is pulled out.

The slide frame 22 is composed of, in order from the bottom, a cassette mounting base 24, a pre-spreading cassette 26 mounted on the cassette mounting base 24, and an LED guide display frame 28 that can slide on the pre-spreading cassette 26. there is FIG. 3 shows a state in which the slide frame 22 is pulled out from the tablet hand-dispensing device 20, and the LED guide display frame 28 is slid to the inner side of the drug packaging machine 10 with respect to the slide frame 22 to make the pre-dispensing cassette 26 removable. The states are shown in FIG. 5 shows a state in which the pre-spreading cassette 26 is removed from the cassette mounting table 24. As shown in FIG.

More specifically, a pair of rails 23, 23 are provided at both ends in the X-row direction on the upper part of the main body of the tablet hand-dispensing device 20, and the slide frame 22 is slidable on these rails 23, 23. It has become. A pair of rails 25, 25 are formed at both ends of the slide frame 22 in the X-row direction, and an LED guide display frame 28 is slidably provided on these rails 25, 25. As shown in FIG.

When the tablets are to be manually distributed to the preliminary distribution cassette 26, the slide frame 22 is pulled out of the tablet packaging machine 10 from the main body of the tablet manual distribution device 20.例文帳に追加After that, the LED guide display frame 28 is pushed back into the tablet packaging machine 10, and the exposed pre-dispensing cassette 26 is removed. In this state, necessary tablets are accommodated (spread) in the respective masses 27, 27 . . . After that, the pre-dispensing cassette 26 containing the tablets is returned onto the cassette mounting table 24 (state shown in FIG. 4), the LED guide display frame 28 is pulled out (state shown in FIG. 3), and the entire slide frame 22 is moved to the tablet packaging machine 10 push back in. With this, the tablets can be divided and packaged from the manual tablet distributing device 20.例文帳に追加

The LED guide display frame 28 guides the operator to the positions of the squares to be scattered when the tablets are scattered in each square of the preliminary scattering cassette 26 while the cassette 26 is placed on the cassette mounting table 24. is displayed.

Next, an outline of the internal structure of such a tablet hand-dispensing device 20 will be described.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a cross section of the pre-dispensing cassette 26 in the X direction, and FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a cross section of the manual tablet scattering device 20 in the Y direction.

As shown in FIG. 6, shielding 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-spreading cassette 26 . These shielding plates 104 and 105 are common to all the masses 27. A drive mechanism (not shown) moves the shielding plate 104 to the right in the drawing and the shielding plate 105 to the left in the drawing, thereby The bottom is open. As shown in FIG. 6(a), the tablets P are sprinkled on each square 27 while the bottom surface of the square 27 is closed with shielding plates 104 and 105. As shown in FIG. When the pre-dispensing cassette 26 with the tablets scattered in this way is set in the manual tablet distributing device 20 and tablet packaging is started, the shielding plates 104 and 105 on the bottom surface of the pre-dispensing cassette 26 are opened, and as shown in FIG. 6(b). As shown, tablets P in mass 27 fall downward.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a transfer device 106 is provided in the lower part of the pre-sprinkling cassette 26 for storing the tablets P dropped from the respective masses 27 of the pre-sprinkling cassette 26 and transporting them in the arrow Y direction. This transfer device 106 includes an endless conveyor belt 108 stretched over a pair of pulleys 107 (only one of which is shown) as rotating bodies provided at both ends in the Y-row direction, and a bottom portion of the conveyor belt 108. and a box body 109 to which is attached. As the pulley 107 rotates, the conveyor belt 108 moves. These boxes 109 are connected to each other in the Y direction above the conveyor belt 108 while their upper surfaces are open. In addition, these boxes 109 rotate along the pulley 107 at the portion of the pulley 107, and below the conveyor belt 108, the opening faces downward and rotates in the direction opposite to the Y direction, that is, from left to right in the figure. move to Further, the opening of the box 109 is opened at the top by rotating at the pulley (not shown) on the right side. The transfer device 106 is independent for each row, and the pulley 107 and conveyor belt 108 are also driven independently.

In this transfer device 106, the shielding plates 104 and 105 are opened while the box 109 is stopped at a position corresponding to each square of the pre-sprinkling cassette 26, so that the tablets P are simultaneously transferred from each square to the box 109. to be dropped. After that, when the pulley 107 rotates, the conveyor belt 108 intermittently moves one box at a time, and the box 109 rotates at the pulley 107 portion. Along with this rotation, the tablets P stored in the box 109 drop downward as indicated by broken lines in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the fallen tablets P are sent through an oblique chute 13 to a packaging machine 12 located below, and are individually wrapped with wrapping paper.

A gap shielding member 113 is provided in the gap Z between the bottom surface of the pre-spreading cassette 26 and the upper end of the box 109 of the transfer device 106 . This gap shielding member 113 also serves as the cassette mounting table 24 on which the pre-spreading cassette 26 is mounted. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, portions corresponding to the respective squares 27 of the pre-spreading cassette 26 are punched out of a sheet of plate material, and the frame portion remaining after the punching is the gap shielding member. 113. When the shielding plates 104 and 105 are opened, the gap shielding member 113 prevents the tablets P from falling from the respective squares 27 of the pre-sprinkling cassette 26 by separating the tablets P between the box 109 directly below and the adjacent box. movement is prevented. Further, even when the tablet P dropped from the mass 27 collides with the bottom surface of the box 109 and rebounds upward due to the recoil, the tablet P is prevented from moving to the adjacent box 109 .

As shown in FIG. 7, the box 109 rotates at the pulley 107 as the conveyor belt 108 moves. At this time, the rotational locus of the upper end portion 112 of the rear end of the box 109 in the transfer direction is indicated by a dashed 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 swells upwards like this. For this reason, it is not possible to provide the same gap shielding 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 pushed by the moving box 109 and retreats from the rotation path of the box 109 when the box 109 rotates as indicated by an arrow Q in the drawing. It's like

For the same reason, the width of the gap shielding member 113 between the most downstream square and the adjacent square in the X row direction is also formed smaller than the width of the gap shielding members 113 of the other squares. As a result, when the box 109 rotates, the gap shielding member 113 is formed in a portion outside the rotation path of the box 109 . This will be further detailed with reference to FIG.

Next, the internal structure of the tablet hand-dispensing device 20 will be described in detail.

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

When the transfer device 106 transfers one box with the tablets P stored therein, the box body 109 at the extreme end rotates around the pulley 107 to drop the tablets P stored therein onto the oblique chute 13 . The box that has finished falling moves from the left to the right in the drawing via the lower side of the conveyor belt 108 . Then, the portion of the pulley 107 on the right side, that is, the upper end portion of the box 109 rotates upward in the upstream side in the transfer direction. The rotation position on the upstream side is upstream by one mass from the mass at the extreme end on the upstream side in the transfer direction. This is because when the upper end of the box 109 rotates upward, the locus of rotation of the upper end of the box 109 swells upward, and the upper end of the box 109 rotates at the portion of the most upstream mass without the gap shielding member. . As can be seen from FIGS. 8 and 9, the number n of cells in the Y row direction of the pre-spreading cassette 26 is 7, whereas the number of boxes facing the upper side of the transfer device 106 is n+1, that is, 8, and is rotated upstream of the most upstream mass of the pre-spreading cassette 26 .

Next, the gap shielding member downstream of the most downstream mass will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view of the cassette mounting table 24 (also serving as the gap blocking member 113) of the pre-spreading cassette 26 and the box 109 of the transfer device 106. As shown in FIG. 11 is an enlarged perspective view of the opening/closing mechanism of the box 109 and the shutter 123, with the cassette mounting table 24 omitted. As shown in FIG. 10, the cassette mounting table 24 is formed by punching a portion corresponding to the mass 27 of the pre-spreading cassette 26 from one plate material. FIG. 10 shows a position where the box 109 of the transfer device 106 has moved downstream in the transfer direction from the mass position of the pre-spreading cassette, and the most downstream box has started to rotate. The cassette mounting table 24 is provided with a shutter 123 that can be opened and closed in the transfer direction downstream of the end mass 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. As shown in FIG.

Further, the shutter 123 is integrally formed with the lever 124 as shown in FIG. The lever 124 is elastically biased rightward in the figure by a compression spring 125 . Therefore, the shutter 123 is also elastically biased rightward in the figure. The shutter 123 is located on the right side of the drawing when tablets are dropped from each mass 27 of the pre-spreading cassette 26 to the box 109, and regulates the tablets dropped from the mass 27 so as not to move downstream of the box 109. are doing. When the box 109 rotates around the pulley 107 to discharge the tablets stored in the box 109 to the oblique chute 13, the shutter 123 is moved leftward in the drawing.

That is, a protruding contact portion 109i is provided on the outside of the left side of the box 109 in the transfer direction. As the conveyor belt 108 is driven, the contact portion 109i of the box 109 presses the lever 124 while the box 109 is moving in the transfer direction. By this pressing, the lever 124 is pressed leftward in the drawing, and the shutter 123 moves in the direction of the arrow. This movement of the shutter 123 causes the shutter 123 to retreat from the locus (route) of rotation of the box 109 . Thus, when the tablets P are dropped from the mass 27 of the pre-sprinkling 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 positioned between the lower end of the mass and the box 109. It is possible to prevent the falling tablets P from moving to the adjacent box 109 by covering the gap with the upper end. Further, the gap shielding member in the transfer direction of the mass at the transfer direction end of the transfer device 106 is composed of a shutter 123 movable in the transfer direction. Since the shutter 123 is moved by being pressed by the contact member 109i formed on the moving box 109, the shutter 123 can be retracted from the rotation path accompanying the rotation of the box 109. FIG. The shutters 123 in each row are also independently movable, and are moved by the respective boxes 109 in each row.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the width W2 in the X direction of the gap shielding member 113 corresponding to the mass on the most downstream side is narrower than the width W1 of the gap shielding member 113 corresponding to the other masses on the upstream side. formed. That is, the opening surrounded by the gap shielding member 113 is formed wide. As a result, when the box 109 rotates around the pulley 107, the gap shielding member 113 in the X direction is also present outside the rotation path of the box 109 and does not interfere with the rotation of the box 109. there is

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

12 shows the structure of the box 109, where (a) is a left side view, (b) is a plan view, and (c) is a right side view. Also, (d) is an exploded perspective view of the box 109, (e) is a perspective view showing a state in which the main box and the opening/closing lid of the box are closed, and (f) is the main box and the opening/closing lid. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a state in which the and are slightly opened;

The box body 109 includes a bottom portion 109a attached to the conveyor belt 108, a transfer direction front wall 109b formed continuously from the bottom portion 109a, and both sides formed continuously from the bottom wall 109a and the front wall 109b. It has a main body box 109A with walls 109c and 109d. It also has an opening/closing lid 109B which is rotatable about a rotating shaft 109e formed on the bottom surface portion 109a of the main body box 109A. The opening/closing lid 109B is connected to a rear wall 109f that closes the rear surface of the main body box 109A, and is continuous with the rear wall 109f, and extends outside the right side wall 109d of the main body box 109A when the main body box 109A is closed by the rear wall 109f. It has an outer side wall 109g located and an inner side wall 109h located inside the left side wall 109c.

A contact portion 109i for contacting and pressing the lever 124 of the shutter 123 is provided on the left outer 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. A device 109m is formed on the outside of the bottom surface 109a and attached to the conveyor belt 108. As shown in FIG.

When the box 109 thus formed rotates around the pulley 107, the opening/closing lid 109B rotates with respect to the main box 109A to open the box 109. As shown in FIG. The function of releasing the bridge 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 box 109A, the inner side wall 109h is positioned inside the main box 109A, and the outer side wall 109g of the opening/closing cover 109B is positioned outside the main box 109A. For this reason, it is possible to release the bridge of the tablet in the box 109 in the direction perpendicular to the transfer direction. That is, when the tablet is bridged in the direction orthogonal to the transfer direction, it is 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. When the box 109 rotates, the opening/closing lid 109B is opened with respect to the main box 109A, and the side wall 109d and the inner side wall 109h are displaced. As a result, the bridge in the direction perpendicular to the transfer direction is also released.

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

A rotating portion near the pulley 107 is provided with a guide plate 130 for preventing the tablets in the box 109 from flying far when the box 109 rotates. 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. As shown in FIG. The position where this roller 132 is formed is on the locus of movement of the protrusion 109j formed on the opening/closing lid 109B of the box 109 when the box 109 rotates around the pulley 107. FIG. Therefore, when the box 109 rotates, the movement of the projection 109j is restricted by the roller 132. As shown in FIG. As a result, the opening/closing lid 109B of the box 109 is opened with respect to the box main body 109A. The operation of closing the opened opening/closing lid 109B on the rear side of the main body box 109A is the same as the mechanism described in Patent Document 2, and the box body 109 finishes discharging the 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 main body 109A, and as a result, the box 109 is closed.

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 via the oblique chute 13. , multi-row, and multi-column transfer devices 106 are once received by a single-row transfer device, then transferred by a single-row transfer device and discharged to an oblique chute. It is of course possible to In this case, the transfer devices for all columns transfer one row at a time.
