Description

  The present invention relates to a package, a drug package, a heat seal device, and a drug packaging device.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a medicine package. In this medicine package, the medicine is stored inside the heat seal portion by heat-sealing the outer edges of the heat-welding sheets facing each other to provide a heat seal portion. When a drug taker takes a drug, the edge of the drug package is cut with a finger to take the drug. However, since the medicine package is formed by combining the heat-weldable sheets, the two heat-weldable sheets must be cut when the drug package is cut from the edge for taking the medicine. For this reason, it may be difficult for some users to cut with fingers. Therefore, it is conceivable to form cuts at the edges of the drug package and to start cutting from the cuts to facilitate cutting the drug package.

The upper end opening of the hopper 7b is adapted to accept the medicine 8 dispensed and supplied automatically or manually based on the prescription. The lower end opening of the hopper 7 b is inserted between the sheet pieces 10 and 11 of the sheet 6. The medicine 8 is automatically or manually supplied based on a prescription.

  The heat seal device 13 heat-seals the wrapping paper 3 so as to seal the medicine 8 stored by the input unit 12 with respect to the wrapping paper 3 in the medicine storage portion 3 c to form the medicine packaging 2. A member 23 is provided. In the present embodiment, the heat seal member 23 includes a heater base 25 formed in a trifurcated shape so as to heat-seal the sheet pieces 10 and 11 of the folded folding paper 3, and the packaging. A heater cradle 26 is provided opposite to the heater cradle 25 with the paper 3 interposed therebetween. The heater base 25 and the heater receiving base 26 are configured to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the paper surface of the wrapping paper 3.

  When heat sealing is performed, the heater base 25 and the heater pedestal 26 move in a direction close to each other, and the heat welding surface (heat The fusion layer 3b) heat seals each other.

  The heater base 25 extends in the width direction of the wrapping paper 3 and has a width seal portion 27 for partitioning the wrapping paper 3 individually, and from the upper end of the width seal portion 27 to the upstream side, and the wrapping paper 3.

Further, it comprises a second seal portion 30 that extends along the upper end portion of the wrapping paper 3 and closes the upper opening 3c of the wrapping paper 3, and is formed in a substantially T-shape (three-pronged shape) in front view. Yes.

  The first seal part 28 and the second seal part 30 have different lengths, and the first seal part 28 is formed shorter than the second seal part 30. In addition, the heater pedestal 26 is formed and disposed in substantially the same shape as the heater pedestal 25 so as to mirrorly overlap the heater pedestal 25.

  The heater base 25 includes a heating element 31 (for example, a heating wire) whose both ends are connected to a power source (not shown) via a lead wire 31 a. The heating element 31 is embedded in the heater base 25. That is, the heating element 31 is formed in a T shape (triangular shape) along the shape of the heater base 25, and the heating element 31 includes the first seal portion 28, the width seal portion 27, and the second seal portion of the heater base 25. It arrange | positions so that the seal part 30 may be covered. That is, the heating element 31 includes a first heating part 35 embedded in the first seal part 28 of the heater base 25, and a U-shaped curve extending from the first heating part 35 to the width seal part 27 and reversed by the width seal part 27. It has a heat generating part 36 and a second heat generating part 37 extending from the curved heat generating part 36 to the second seal part 30.

  The first heat generating portion 35 is integrally provided at its end with a rising heat generating portion 38 that is bent and extended upward, and the rising heat generating portion 38 is used as a reference portion forming member. The first heat generating portion 35 and the second heat generating portion 37 are the same as the first heat generating portion 35 and the second heat generating portion 37 and correspond to the medicine storage portion 3c side of the separating paper 3 from the upper surface 25b of the heater base 25. Are arranged in a direction that is a direction to be moved, that is, shifted downward and arranged along the upper surface 25b.

  The heater base 25 is integrally formed with a protruding portion 25A that protrudes upward from the upper surface 25b on the downstream side thereof. The protruding portion 25A is formed in a prismatic shape, and a pressing piece 41 as a cut line forming member for forming a cut line 40 in the vertical direction on the medicine package 2 is formed on the front surface 25a. The pressing piece 41 is disposed on the downstream side with respect to the region facing the rising heat generating portion 38 on the front surface of the protruding portion 25A. The pressing piece 41 has a vertical blade portion 41a at its tip, and is formed in a triangular shape in plan view that becomes thinner as a tip, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the heater pedestal 26 has a protruding portion 26A at a position facing the protruding portion 25A, and a cut line 40 is formed along with the pressing piece 41 at a position corresponding to the pressing piece 41 of the protruding portion 26A. It has the receiving recessed part 42 for forming. The receiving recess 42 has an insertion gap 43 into which the pressing piece 41 is inserted. In the heater base 25 and the heater base 26, the portions other than the pressing piece 41 and the receiving concave portion 42 are clamping planes 25d and 26d, and the packaging paper 3 is clamped by these planes 25d and 26d. Note that the blade 41a at the tip of the pressing piece 41 protrudes toward the heater pedestal 26 with respect to the clamping flat surface 25d. The insertion gap 43 is concave with respect to the flat surface 26d.

  In the medicine packaging device 1 having the above configuration, the packaging paper 3 fed out from the roll body 4 by the driving force of the driving unit 7 is arranged so that the heat-sealing layers 3b face each other in advance before reaching the heat sealing device 13. It is folded at the center in the width direction along the length direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to bend the wrapping paper 3 while it is being fed out from the roll body 4, and for example, a member such as a folding guide is not required, and the configuration of the medicine packaging device 1 is simple as much as the folding guide is not required. It has become.

  The wrapping paper 3 is loaded with the medicine 8 from the hopper 7b of the loading unit 12 arranged at the midway position of the feeding, and then heat-sealed by the heat sealing device 13 so that the first heat sealing portion 45 along the feeding direction, A substantially lower open U-shaped heat seal portion 47 composed of a second heat seal portion 46 extending in the vertical direction from both sides of the first heat seal portion 45 is formed, whereby the three directions of the wrapping paper 3 are heated. The medicine container 3c is formed by sealing, and the medicine container 2 in which the medicine 8 is housed in the medicine container 3c is obtained. More specifically, the wrapping paper 3 is squeezed between the flat surfaces 25d and 26d for squeezing between the heater base 25 and the heater pedestal 26, and the wrapping paper 3 is heated by the heat of the heating element 31 that is energized and heated. The heat sealing layers 3b of the three sheet pieces 10 and 11 are heat-sealed at predetermined intervals in the upstream / downstream direction (length direction), and the medicine 8 is continuously contained in the medicine storage part 3c. The body 2 is manufactured.

  When the wrapping paper 3 is sandwiched between the heater base 25 and the heater pedestal 26, the pressing piece 41 is slightly downstream of the area facing the rising heat generating part 38 at the upper part on the downstream side of the first seal part 28. Since the receiving members 42 and 42 are provided at positions corresponding to the pressing pieces 41 of the heater cradle 26, the pressing pieces 41 enter the insertion gaps 43 of the receiving recesses 42, thereby Longitudinal cut lines 40 are formed in the outer edge portions 10a and 11a of the sheet pieces 10 and 11 so as to cut. Such a cut 40 does not reach the first heat seal portion 45 (heat seal portion 47). That is, the protrusion 25A is provided on the heater base 25, the pressing piece 41 is provided on the protrusion 25A, and the first heat generating part 35 is disposed so as to be displaced downward from the upper surface 25b of the heater base 25. The eyes 40 are prevented from reaching the first heat seal part 45. This is because the cut line 40 only needs to have a length that triggers cutting, and if it is made too long, it is considered that the wrapping paper 3 is unnecessarily cut.

  Since the rising heat generating portion 38 of the heating element 31 is continuous with the first heat generating portion 35, the rising heat generating portion 38 is used as a guide portion forming member and is continuously connected to the first heat seal portion 45 by the heat. A third heat seal portion 50 is formed continuously with the first heat seal portion 45 across the edges 10a and 11a. And since the 1st seal | sticker part 28 is formed shorter than the 2nd seal | sticker part 30, the 3rd heat seal part 50 is one side (in this case downstream) from the length direction center of the chemical | medical agent package 2. It is formed at an eccentric position. Further, the cut line 40 exists in the vicinity of the downstream side of the third heat seal portion 50 in parallel with the third heat seal portion 50. A perforation 51 is formed across the entire vertical direction (width direction) between the adjacent second heat seal portions 46, 46 in the continuous medicine package 2 as described above. Such a perforation 51 is formed in the middle of manufacturing the medicine package 2. The rising heat generating portion 38 and the blade portion 41a of the pressing piece 41 are set in parallel so that the third heat seal portion 50 and the cut line 40 are parallel.

  The medicine package 2 manufactured as described above can be easily divided into individual drug packages 2 by cutting the perforation 51 with, for example, fingers. By the way, the medicine 8 accommodated in one medicine packaging 2 is cut (opened) and taken. At this time, since the medicine package 2 has the cut 40 as described above, by starting the cutting of the drug package 2 from the cut 40, the drug package 2 can be easily cut. The medicine 8 in the medicine container 3c can be taken.

  In this way, the medicine package 2 can be easily cut by using the cut line 40, but the heat-welding sheet for producing this kind of medicine package 2 can be seen by the medicine 8. It is generally transparent (having translucency). Even if the cut line 40 is formed on such a transparent sheet, it may be difficult to find the cut line 40. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the cut 40 is formed in the vicinity of the third heat seal portion 50. When the wrapping paper 3 (heat-weldable sheet) is heat-sealed, the portion is discolored by heat-sealing. For example, if glassine paper is used as the wrapping paper 3 for forming the medicine wrapping body 2, the heat-sealed portion changes to a deep white color. If cellophane paper in which polyethylene is laminated on cellophane is used as the wrapping paper 3, the heat seal portion becomes transparent.

  The first seal portion 28 is arranged to be displaced from the upper surface 25b of the heater base 25 toward the medicine storage portion 3c (downward), and is arranged along the upper surface 25b. The formed first heat seal portion 45 is formed so as to be displaced from the outer end sides 10b, 11b of the outer edge portions 10a, 11a of the medicine package 2 toward the medicine storage portion 3c (downward). That is, the outer edge sides 10b and 11b of the outer edge portions 10a and 11a of the medicine package 2 have the original color of the heat-weldable sheet, and a third heat seal having a different color in the middle of the outer edge portions 10a and 11a. Because of the portion 50, the third heat seal portion 50 is noticeable. Since the cut 40 is in the vicinity of the third heat seal portion 50, the user of the medicine 8 easily finds the location of the cut 40 using the third heat seal portion 50 as a measure of the location of the cut 40. It is possible (it is easy to recognize the location of the cut 40), and the medicine package 2 can be cut. At this time, the heat-sealed portion has a higher hardness than the original hardness of the wrapping paper 2 and thus is easily grasped with fingers and easily cut.

  Alternatively, when heat sealing is performed on the heat-welding sheet, the portion is cured, so that the outer edge portions 10b and 11b of the outer edge portions 10a and 11a of the medicine package 2 not heat-sealed are compared with the portions. Feels different when touched with fingers. Therefore, it is easy to understand the location of the cut 40 even for a user with poor vision.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention as described below. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the heating element 31 is embedded in the heater base 25. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the heating element 31 can be provided so as to be exposed to the clamping surface 25d of the heater base 25. It is. In this case, for example, the heating element 31 is formed in a plate shape using stainless steel or the like so as to have a substantially uniform width and thickness. Such a heating element 31 extends from the first heat generating portion 35 to the width seal portion 27 and is fixed to the width seal portion 27 so as to be reversed. It has a U-shaped curved heat generating part 36 and a second heat generating part 37 that extends from the curved heat generating part 36 to the second seal part 30 and is fixed, and is folded upward at the end of the first heat generating part 35. The rising heat generating portion 38 that is bent and extended is integrally formed. Other configurations are the same as in the above embodiment. At the end portions of the start-up heat generating portion 38 and the second heat generating portion 37, heat radiating enlarged portions 36a, 37a, 38a for increasing the heat radiation amount are integrally formed.

  According to such a heating element 31 that integrally forms the rising heating part 38 that is bent and extended upward at the end of the first heating part 35 as described above, the heating element 31 is heated. The heat seal portion 47 is formed by direct contact with the weldable sheet, and a third heat seal portion 50 serving as a guide for cutting is formed in the vicinity of the cut line 40. This makes it easy to understand the location of the cut 40.

  In each of the above embodiments, the start-up heat generating portion 38 as the reference portion forming member is integrally provided at the end of the first heat generating portion 35, but is not limited thereto, and the first heat generating portion 35 (heat generating element) is not limited thereto. It is also possible to provide a separate body from 31) and to heat the startup heat generating section 38 by energizing it independently.

  The cut line 40 may be of any shape that allows the user of the drug 8 to easily cut the drug package 2, and does not have to cut the packing paper 2 as in the above embodiment. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the cut line 40 is formed on the downstream side of the third heat seal portion 50 (reference portion), but the cut line 40 may be formed on the upstream side of the third heat seal portion 50. Alternatively, it may be formed on both the upstream side and the downstream side of the third heat seal portion 50. Further, the cut 40 was formed in the vicinity of the third heat seal portion 50 as a guide portion.

  However, when the heating element 31 is embedded in the heater base 25, as shown in FIG. 9, the cut line 40 is formed in the third heat seal portion 50 (in the longitudinal direction region of the third heat seal portion 50). It is also possible. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a heat seal device 13 for forming such a medicine package 2. In the heat seal device 13, a heating portion 62 that is heated by a heating element (not shown) and extends in three directions protrudes on a flat surface 25 d (outer surface) of a T-shaped heater base 25 supported by a support base 60. Is formed. The heating unit 62 is disposed over the first seal portion 28, the width seal portion 27, and the second seal portion 30 of the heater base 25. The heating unit 62 includes a first lateral projecting portion 63 projecting from the first seal portion 28 of the heater base 25, a width projecting portion 64 extending from the first lateral projecting portion 63 to the width seal portion 27, and the second seal portion 30. A second lateral projection 66 projecting from the second lateral projection 66, and another width projection 65 extending from the second lateral projection 66 to the width seal portion 27. A pair of rising protrusions 67 and 68 extending upward are integrally formed in the middle of the first lateral protrusion 63. These rising protrusions 67 and 68 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance in the length direction.

  The heater pedestal 26 is supported by a support pedestal 61 that can be rotated and opened around a support shaft 70 (shown by a one-dot chain line in the drawing). A receiving portion 73 having a shape corresponding to the heating portion 62 is provided so as to protrude from the heater receiving portion 26, and a pair of extending and retracting portions 71 and 72 corresponding to the rising protruding portions 67 and 68 are provided. It is provided so that it can be moved freely. A pressing piece 41 for forming a cut line 40 is fixed to the heater pedestal 26 between the pair of exit / retreat portions 71 and 72.

  In the heat sealing apparatus 13 having such a configuration, the heater base 25 and the heater receiving base 26 are relatively close to each other in the front-rear direction (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of the wrapping paper 3). The wrapping paper 3 is pinched by the cradle 26, and the heat-welded surfaces are heat-sealed to form the first heat seal portion 45, the second heat seal portions 46 and 46, and the third heat seal portion 50. . At this time, when the rising protrusions 67 and 68 come into contact with and press the protrusions 71 and 72, the protrusions 71 and 72 are retracted, the blade 41a is exposed, and the protrusions 67 and 68 are raised. The cut line 40 is formed in the wrapping paper 3. Since the pressing piece 41 enters between the rising protrusions 67 and 68, the cut 40 is formed in the middle of the length direction of the third heat seal portion 50. That is, the cut line forming member is composed of the rising protrusions 67 and 68, the retracting parts 71 and 72, and the pressing piece 41.

  In this case, the user of the medicine 8 can easily find the location of the cut eye 40 using the third heat seal portion 50 as a guide for the location of the cut eye 40, and feels that the third heat seal portion 50 is cut. Thus, the medicine package 2 can be cut. The heat-sealed portion has a higher hardness than the original hardness of the wrapping paper 2, so that it can be easily grasped with fingers and cut easily. Alternatively, when heat sealing is applied to the heat-weldable sheet, the portion is cured, so that the fingers are compared with the outer edges 10b, 11b side portions of the outer edge portions 10a, 11a of the medicine package 2 that is not heat sealed. The touch when touched with is different. Therefore, it is easy to understand the location of the cut 40 even for a user with poor vision.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the cut line 40 is provided with the pressing piece 41 and the receiving recess 42 in the heat seal device 13 to form the cut line 40 simultaneously with the heat sealing, but is not limited thereto. For example, if possible in consideration of cost or the like, it is possible to provide a cut forming member separately from the heat seal device 13 and form the cut 40 separately from the heat seal, for example, after the heat seal. .

  In each of the above embodiments, the medicine package 2 (packaging body) is formed by folding a long heat-weldable sheet at the center in the width direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. 2 can also be manufactured by forming a medicine storage part 3c (storage part) by heat-sealing the surrounding four sides so that different sheets are overlapped.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the medicine package 2 has been described as an example of the package. However, the medicine 8 can be applied to both powders and tablets. It is not limited to the package 2, and various storage items can be considered instead of the medicine 8 as the storage unit.
