There is provided a medicine packaging device characterized by the above.
[0007]
The present invention also provides a medicine packaging apparatus comprising the medicine packaging apparatus according to the present invention.
[0008]
In the medicine packaging apparatus and medicine packaging apparatus according to the present invention, the long packaging sheet having an open end along the longitudinal direction is conveyed along the sheet longitudinal direction by the conveying device, and the medicine input unit Further, the at least one ultraviolet lamp provided on the upstream side in the sheet conveying direction irradiates ultraviolet rays for sterilization from the open end to the inner surface of the packaging sheet into which the medicine is introduced in the medicine feeding section. Then, the packaging sheet irradiated with ultraviolet rays is charged with a drug from the open end by the drug charging unit, and sealed by the sealing device to form individually partitioned packages.
[0009]
As described above, according to the medicine packaging device and the medicine packaging device according to the present invention, the medicine is fed from the open end to the medicine feeding section by the ultraviolet lamp provided on the upstream side in the sheet conveying direction from the medicine feeding section. Since the inner surface of the packaging sheet is irradiated with ultraviolet rays for sterilization, the packaging sheet can be sterilized when the medicine is introduced in the medicine feeding section.
[0010]
As the ultraviolet lamp, any lamp can be used as long as it can irradiate ultraviolet rays for sterilization on the inner surface of the packaging sheet into which the medicine is introduced from the open end at the medicine feeding section. However, in consideration of the directivity of ultraviolet light emitted from the light source, it is desirable to use a flat type ultraviolet sterilizing lamp in which the light source is formed in a flat shape.
[0011]
As the wavelength of the ultraviolet light for sterilization, any wavelength can be adopted as long as the wavelength can be satisfactorily sterilized in the ultraviolet wavelength range (for example, about 100 nm to about 380 nm). Good. Among these, as a wavelength with a comparatively strong bactericidal action, about 253.7 nm can be illustrated.
[0012]
In the medicine packaging apparatus and medicine packaging apparatus according to the present invention, the following cases can be cited as examples in which the long packaging sheet forms an open end along the longitudinal direction.
(A) The long packaging sheet formed by folding a long sheet in half along the longitudinal direction forms an open end along the longitudinal direction.
(B) The unfolded long sheet is folded in two along the longitudinal direction in the conveying path to form the long packaging sheet, and the long folded folded sheet is When an open end is formed along the direction.
(C) A pair of unfolded long sheets are overlapped along the longitudinal direction in the conveyance path so that the respective surfaces face each other, and one end in the short direction of the stacked sheets is the longitudinal direction. The long packaging sheet is formed by being sealed along, and the stacked and sealed long packaging sheet forms an open end along the longitudinal direction.
[0013]
In any case, at least one of the ultraviolet lamps is disposed in the vicinity of a region where the medicine is put into the packaging sheet, and irradiates the inner surface of the sheet with ultraviolet rays for sterilization. The More specifically, it is disposed inside the packaging sheet on which the open end is formed, and irradiates ultraviolet rays for sterilization from the inside of the sheet to the inner surface of the sheet. It is configured as follows. Also, Lamp fixing member for supporting the ultraviolet lamp disposed inside the packaging sheet With The drug charging unit includes a drug charging hopper that guides the drug to the packaging sheet, and the lamp fixing member is wider than a width of the hopper in which the packaging sheet is conveyed. Facing the region where the packaging sheet is conveyed, it is disposed in the vicinity of the upstream side in the sheet conveying direction from the hopper, and further, the ultraviolet lamp disposed inside the packaging sheet is provided on the lamp fixing member. Supported on the surface opposite to the surface facing the hopper Ru . In such a configuration, the lamp fixing member is disposed in the vicinity of the upstream side of the hopper in the sheet conveying direction so as to face the area where the packaging sheet of the hopper is conveyed. A medicine that can be fixed to the inside of the packaging sheet on which is formed and irradiates ultraviolet rays for sterilization from the ultraviolet lamp to the upstream side in the sheet conveying direction from the lamp fixing member, while being put into the packaging sheet It is possible to prevent exposure to ultraviolet rays. Furthermore, since the lamp fixing member is wider than the width of the region of the hopper where the packaging sheet is conveyed, the wide end of the lamp fixing member can open the open end of the packaging sheet, and the hopper The packaging sheet can be prevented from touching. For example, in order to drop a medicine that may remain in the hopper, a residual medicine treatment that vibrates the hopper may be performed. In this case, according to the configuration as described above, since the packaging sheet can be prevented from touching the hopper, the sheet to be conveyed meanders even if the remaining medicine treatment is performed. The influence on the flow can be sufficiently suppressed.
