Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport device for an automated drug metering device, and more particularly to a transport device for delivering individual portions of medicaments.
  • the documents US 7,784,244 B2 and US 4,834,264 A1 disclose packaging machines with dosing devices.
  • a generic transport device for feeding individual portions of medicaments is known from the prior art, which is designed as a permanently mounted drawer of an automated drug metering device.
  • a mobile, open-top transport device can be placed from which individual portions of medicines are transferred to the fixed mounted transport device.
  • both the fixedly mounted transport device and the mobile transport device have a plurality of receiving compartments for individual portions of medicaments, the arrangement of the receiving compartments being coordinated with one another.
  • the receiving compartments of the permanently mounted transport device and the receiving compartments of the mobile transport device have bottom openings which can be opened with a closing device which is an integral part of the respective transport device.
  • a closing device comprises at least one movable closing plate, and by a movement of the closing plate, the bottom openings in the mobile or the fixed mounted transport device are released, so that in the case of the mobile transport device located in the receiving compartments individual portions of drugs in the corresponding receiving compartments are transferred to the fixed mounted transport device. From this, the individual portions of medicaments can be transferred to another device of the automated drug metering device, which the Single portions of drugs, for example, a blistering feeds.
  • the drop height of the medicaments causes the medicament particles to chip off and, in particular in the region of the edges of the bottom openings, the closing plate and further parts of the Dirty locking device.
  • the chipped drug particles may adhere to subsequently introduced drugs and contaminate them and be transferred when releasing the bottom openings either from the mobile to the stationary transport device or from this to a subsequent device and finally get into the blister.
  • the transport device according to the invention for feeding individual portions of medicaments for an automated medicament dosing device comprises at least one transport tray with a plurality of storage compartments arranged in one plane and open at the top for receiving one or more individual portions of medicaments.
  • the transport device further comprises a carrier frame receiving the at least one transport tray.
  • the at least one transport tray is removably arranged in the support frame and each of the plurality of storage compartments comprises a bottom opening, via which the individual portions of medicaments can be supplied to a further device.
  • the transport device or the support frame further comprises a closing device with at least one closing plate, wherein arranged in a plane bottom openings of the receiving compartments of at least one transport tray by a relative movement of the at least one closing plate to the at least one transport trays are releasable and closable, i. for releasing and closing movement of the transport tray or the closing plate is possible or necessary.
  • the inventive device comprises two main components, namely the transport tray, or a group of transport trays, and the support frame with the locking device.
  • the transport tray (hereinafter referred to as a transport tray, but according to the invention, several transport trays can always be used) can be removed from the support frame, i. There is no permanent connection between the support frame and the transport tray. Removing the transport tray provides easy access to the striker plate (s) so that they can be easily cleaned.
  • the transport tray can also be quickly cleaned in the removed state, for example, by a corresponding cleaning device with a plurality of separate cleaning devices that specifically adapted to the receiving compartments and clean them.
  • the transport tray can be cleaned with compressed air, for example.
  • the transport device according to the invention for supplying individual portions of medicaments can be used with appropriate adaptation as part of an automated drug dosing device (as a "stationary" transport device, the individual portions of drugs only within the drug dosing transported and removed only for cleaning purposes) or as a "mobile" transport device for supplying individual portions of drugs to another transport device, which is then regularly part of the automated drug dosing (for example, to a "stationary" version of the transport device according to the invention).
  • the closing plate which is then usually adapted in height to the diameter of the bottom opening, is displaced parallel to the row of storage compartments; depending on the height of the closing plate, the openings are released. If several (parallel) rows of storage compartments are provided, a closing slat must be moved further accordingly, so that all rows are released one after the other. However, this requires only a closing plate a long distance of movement, which is cumbersome and structurally complicated.
  • the at least one closing plate therefore comprises a plurality of recesses, which are adapted to the number and geometry of the bottom openings in the transport tray. Alternatively, a continuous bottom opening may also be present per row.

If only one closing plate is present (which can release all bottom openings), can with a movement of the handle all individual portions of medicines are transferred to underlying device.
  • a corresponding embodiment of the transport device is particularly useful in the mobile version, as all medicines can be passed so easily and quickly.
  • closing plate in a preferred embodiment they are detachably fastened (as part of the closing device) to the transport device. Although it is not necessary to remove the closing plate for each cleaning, it is advisable to thoroughly clean / disinfect the closing plates at regular intervals, which can be carried out quickly with releasably arranged closing plates.
  • the closing device of the transport device comprises at least one closing plate; this is, as stated above, especially useful in the "mobile" transport device.
  • the medicaments are usually transferred to intermediate buffers arranged below the transport device, via which the drugs are supplied to a blister.
  • An intermediate buffer usually consists of a plurality of subunits arranged in a row, and for cost reasons, a drug dosing device usually comprises only an intermediate buffer.
  • the open-top receiving compartments are arranged in a plurality of rows, and each row of storage compartments is assigned at least one closing plate of the closing device.
