Description

  The present invention relates to a medicine container, and more particularly, to a medicine container used in a medicine packaging device for supplying a patient with a tablet as a medicine specified in a prescription.

In hospitals, pharmacies, and the like, there are cases in which a medicine packaging device is used to supply a medicine instructed by a doctor's prescription to a patient.
Some medicine packaging devices are provided with a medicine container (also referred to as “medicine cassette”) in a detachable manner. Examples of the medicine packaging device and the medicine container are shown in Patent Document 1 below. Technology has been proposed.

The medicine container disclosed in Patent Document 1 below has a medicine container in the upper part of the container body, the medicine container has a medicine container formed in the outer peripheral portion along the vertical direction, and has a vertical axis. The rotor which conveys a chemical | medical agent to the circumferential direction by rotating is arrange | positioned.
The medicine container has a partition that partitions the medicines that are stacked one above the other so that a predetermined number of medicines are dropped from the medicine container. This partition body protrudes from the side wall of the medicine container to the inside of the medicine container, and its vertical position is related to the vertical position of the rotor (drug container).
In the medicine container, a rotation center shaft that allows the rotor to rotate about the vertical axis extends downward from the rotor. The lower end portion of the rotation center shaft protrudes downward by a predetermined length from the bottom wall of the container body (drug container), and a driven gear is externally fitted to the protrusion. The driven gear is provided so as to mesh with the drive gear by mounting the medicine container on the medicine packaging device. When the drive gear is driven to rotate, the rotation center axis rotates about the vertical axis, and the rotor also rotates about the vertical axis.

  By the way, it is preferable that the lower surface of the rotor does not contact the upper surface of the bottom wall plate of the container body when rotating. This is because when the contact occurs, the frictional force increases correspondingly, and the rotor does not rotate smoothly or a load is applied to the drive unit. Therefore, the rotor is assembled to the container body so that the lower surface of the rotor floats with respect to the upper surface of the bottom wall plate of the container body.

  The amount of floating between the lower surface of the rotor and the upper surface of the bottom wall plate of the container body is determined by the length of the rotation center axis and the position of the driven gear. That is, the driven gear is fixed with the lower end of the rotor in contact with the upper surface of the bottom wall plate of the container body, and the rotor is biased upward by a spring provided in the rotor in advance. Thus, the rotor is lifted from the upper surface of the bottom wall plate of the container body. In addition, the floating amount of the rotor in a state where the driven gear is in contact with the lower surface of the bottom wall plate is the maximum floating amount.

This floating amount needs to be set so that the rotor does not hit the partition in the vertical direction. If the position of the rotor is higher or lower than necessary with respect to the partition, the rotor contacts the partition. This is because the rotor does not rotate smoothly.
In order to set the floating amount, the following Patent Document 1 has the following configuration. That is, the rotation center axis is formed in advance with a predetermined length, and a female screw is formed at the center of the protrusion. In addition, a stepped seat surface along the radial direction is formed on the protruding portion, and a key portion is formed to protrude radially outward. A recess that fits into the key portion is formed in the center hole of the driven gear.

In the above configuration, the driven gear is externally fitted so that the recess is fitted to the key portion, the fixing screw is inserted into the center hole of the driven gear, and the fixing screw is screwed into the female screw. And the center part of a driven gear is pinched | interposed by the seat surface formed in the protrusion part of a rotation center axis | shaft, and the head of a fixing screw. By doing in this way, the position of the driven gear with respect to the protrusion part of the rotation center shaft is determined.
As a reference patent document, as shown in Patent Document 2, there is a configuration in which another driven gear is provided between the driven gear and the lower surface of the bottom wall plate depending on the type of the medicine container.

  In the above-described conventional medicine container, in order to determine the floating amount, the lower surface of the rotor is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom wall plate of the container body, and the female screw formed on the protrusion of the rotation center shaft having a predetermined length The subordinate gear is fixed to the projecting portion by screwing the mounting screw.

  However, the length of the longitudinal axis of the rotation center axis varies. For this reason, in the configuration in which the mounting screw is screwed onto the female screw and the dependent gear is fixed to the protruding portion, the floating amount depends on the length of the longitudinal axis of the rotation center axis. If the length of the longitudinal axis of the rotation center axis varies, the floating amount is not constant. In this case, the rotor may come into contact with the partition.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a medicine container that can accurately set the floating amount of the rotor even if the length of the longitudinal axis of the rotation center axis varies.

An elastic body is provided in which the lower portion of the rotation center shaft has a protruding portion that penetrates the bottom wall plate of the container body and protrudes downward from the bottom wall plate, and biases the rotor in the direction of floating from the bottom wall plate. In addition, an external fitting member is provided that is externally fitted and fixed at a predetermined position on the projecting portion in order to keep the floating amount of the rotor from the bottom wall plate by the elastic body at a predetermined value.

According to the above configuration, in order to assemble the rotor to the container main body, the rotation center shaft body is passed through the bottom wall plate, and the rotor is applied to the bottom wall plate against the elasticity of the elastic body, and then the outer fitting member Is fitted and fixed at a predetermined position on the protrusion. If it does so, the floating amount of the rotor with respect to a bottom wall board will become the predetermined floating amount according to the position of the external fitting member on a protrusion part.
Even if there is a variation in the length of the rotation center axis in the longitudinal axis direction, if the outer fitting member is positioned and fixed at a position on the protruding portion corresponding to the variation, the elasticity of the elastic body of the rotor It is possible to adjust the floating amount from the upper surface of the bottom wall plate to an optimum amount.

  In the medicine container of the present invention, a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the protruding portion, and the external fitting member is a nut gear that is screwed to the male screw so as to apply a rotational force to the rotation center shaft body. As a fixing means for fixing to the screw, a nut member that is screwed into the male screw and abuts on the nut gear in the direction of the vertical axis is provided.

  According to the above configuration, the nut gear as the fixing means is screwed into the male screw, and the nut member is brought into contact with the nut gear to fix the nut gear to the male screw, thereby fixing the nut gear at a predetermined position on the male screw. .

The drug container according to the present invention is characterized in that the nut gear is fixed to the projecting portion by pressing the screw threads of the male screw and the female screw of the nut gear in the vertical axis direction by tightening the nut member.
According to the said structure, a nut gear is reliably fixed to a protrusion part by the crimping | compression-bonding force of the screw thread of the external thread and the internal thread of a nut gear.

The drug container according to the present invention is characterized in that a recess is formed on the surface of the nut gear on the side where the nut member abuts, and a part or all of the nut member is stored in the recess.
According to the said structure, it becomes possible to make the length of the vertical axis | shaft direction direction of a chemical | medical agent storage container small by the part which a nut member is accommodated in the recessed part of a nut gear.

  In the medicine container of the present invention, the rotation center shaft has a biaxial structure having an inner shaft and an outer shaft that externally fits the inner shaft, and the inner shaft and the outer shaft are configured to be relatively rotatable about a vertical axis. The rotor has an upper rotating portion and a lower rotating portion, the upper rotating portion and the inner shaft are connected, the lower rotating portion and the outer shaft are connected, the male screw is formed on the protruding portion of the inner shaft, and the nut gear Is screwed into the projecting portion of the inner shaft, and a gear different from the nut gear is externally fitted to the projecting portion of the outer shaft so as to be slidable in the direction of the longitudinal axis and to rotate integrally. .

  In the above configuration, when a driving force is applied to the nut gear, the upper rotating portion of the rotor rotates about the vertical axis, and when a driving force is applied to the gear, the lower rotating portion of the rotor rotates about the vertical axis. It is possible to rotate the upper rotating part and the lower rotating part around the vertical axis at different rotational speeds, improving the agitation with respect to the drug (tablet) stored in the drug container, and reliably storing the drug Contained in the road.

  In the medicine container according to the present invention, the outer fitting member that is fitted and fixed at a predetermined position on the protruding portion is provided so as to keep the floating amount of the rotor from the bottom wall plate by the elastic body at a predetermined value.

The position is shifted to the side (vertical line 7 side). The rear wall surface 51 is a vertical surface and is further displaced rearward with respect to the outer peripheral surface 42 of the cylindrical portion 17 about the longitudinal axis 7 that is the rotation center of the rotor 8. The amount of deviation is not particularly defined, but is preferably set as appropriate based on conditions such as the shape, diameter, and size of the tablet 5 to be handled.
Both side wall surfaces 52 and 53 are vertical surfaces, and the separation distance in the left-right direction is set to be larger than the circumferential width of the medicine container 24.

Next, the structure of the partition 10 is demonstrated.
The partition 10 is disposed adjacent to the rotor 8, and partitions the medicine containing path 24 so as to prevent the tablet 5 from entering the medicine containing path 24 when the medicine discharge opening 22 and the medicine containing path 24 communicate with each other. A predetermined number (one in this case) of tablets 5 stored in the drug storage path 24 is dropped into the drug discharge opening 22.
The partition 10 is inserted into the insertion hole 25 formed in the circumferential direction in the wall surface portion on the rear side of the cylindrical portion 17 from the rear to the front, and is exposed in the cylindrical portion 17. The partition 10 has a base portion 26 arranged outside the cylindrical portion 17, and a support projection 27 formed so that one side of the base portion 26 protrudes rearward from the outer peripheral surface near the one side of the cylindrical portion 17. The screw 28 is detachably attached and is adjustable in the vertical direction (direction along the vertical axis 7).
Further, the upper surface of the portion of the partition body 10 exposed in the cylindrical portion 17 is an inclined guide surface in which the upstream side in the rotational direction of the rotor 8 is inclined upward toward the downstream side, and the downstream side from the inclined guide surface is a horizontal plane. Is formed.

Next, the configuration of the rotor 8 will be described. The rotor 8 is formed with a medicine accommodating path 24 for individually accommodating the tablets 5. By rotation of the rotor 8, the tablet 5 accommodated in the medicine accommodation path 24 can be conveyed to the medicine discharge opening 22. The rotor 8 includes a lower rotating part 32 and an upper rotating part 33.
The rotation center axis that is a shaft body holds the rotor 8, extends coaxially with the longitudinal axis 7 that is the rotation axis of the rotor 8, and penetrates the bottom of the container body 6. In the present embodiment, the rotation center axis is a biaxial structure having an outer shaft 34 provided in the lower rotation unit 32 and an inner shaft 35 provided in the upper rotation unit 33. By adopting such a biaxial structure, the upper rotating portion 33 and the lower rotating portion 32 are configured to be relatively rotatable around the vertical axis 7.
When the upper rotating portion 33 and the lower rotating portion 32 rotate relative to each other, the rotor 8 has a function as an agitating member that agitates a large number of tablets 5 accommodated in the upper accommodating portion 18 with high agitation.

The outer shaft 34 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the outer shaft 34 is provided integrally with the lower rotating portion 32, and is fitted into the cylindrical bulging portion 23 from above, and penetrates the bottom wall plate 13. And an outer protrusion 43 protruding downward. The inner shaft 35 is provided integrally with the upper rotating portion 33, has an inner projecting portion 44 that fits into the outer shaft 34 from above and projects below the bottom wall plate 13.
The inner protruding portion 44 protrudes further downward than the outer protruding portion 43, and a male screw 46 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner protruding portion 44 in the upper and lower regions by a predetermined length.

The lower rotating part 32 has a disk part 32A formed in a disk shape, the upper surface of which is a smooth surface, and the lower surface of the upper rotating part 33 is slidably placed in the circumferential direction on the upper surface. Yes. The diameter of the lower rotating part 32 is set slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 36 of the cylindrical part 17. On the bottom surface 32a of the disc portion 32A, protrusions 29 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.
The bottom surface (lower surface) 32a of the disc portion 32A is an annular smooth surface. The bottom surface 32a is formed in an annular shape by forming a recess 32B at the center of the disc portion 32A.
A bulging portion 40 that protrudes upward and fits into a lower surface recess 38 formed at the center of the back surface of the upper rotating portion 33 is formed at the center in the radial direction of the lower rotating portion 32. The outer shaft 34 is integrally formed downward from the radially inner side of the bulging portion 40.

By making the annular region of the radially inner portion from the outer peripheral surface of the lower rotating portion 32 a drug containing passage forming portion, the outer peripheral surface of the lower rotating portion 32 is retracted radially inward at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, A plurality of the drug storage paths 24 are formed along the vertical direction. The circumferential width and height of the medicine storage path 24 are set so that only one tablet 5 can be stored.
In the lower rotating part 32, the upper surface between the medicine accommodating paths 24 is a mounting surface 24 a on which the tablets 5 accommodated in the medicine accommodating part 14 are placed.

A coil spring 48 (compression spring) is provided as an elastic body that biases the rotor 8 away from the bottom of the container body 6, in this embodiment, upward.
A thin annular member 65 is loosely fitted to the lower end of the cylindrical bulging portion 23 (see FIG. 7), and the annular member 65 is a spring seat at the lower end of the coil spring 48 as an example of an elastic body. It has become.
The back surface 47 of the bulging portion 40 is formed with a locking portion 66 for locking the upper end surface of the coil spring 48 in the circumferential direction. The locking portions 66 are formed in a thin plate shape, and a plurality of the locking portions 66 are radially formed on the back surface 47 in the radial direction centered on the vertical axis 7. The amount of the locking portion 66 protruding downward from the back surface 47 is slight. The upper end portion of the coil spring 48 uses the lower surface 66a of the locking portion 66 as a spring seat.

Due to the elasticity of the coil spring 48, the rotor 8, that is, the upper rotating portion 33 and the lower rotating portion 32 are urged in the direction of floating from the upper surface 13 a of the bottom wall plate 13. Further, the coil spring 48 expands and contracts in accordance with the weight resulting from the amount of the tablet 5 accommodated, and when at least the tablet 5 is not on the rotor 8, the lower surface of the rotor 8 is slightly from the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13. Floating with buoyancy.
When at least the tablet 5 is not on the rotor 8, the protrusion 29 is also separated from the upper surface 13 a of the bottom wall plate 13.

In particular, by providing the protrusion 29, the bottom surface 32a of the disc portion 32A is set to be positioned upward by the height of the protrusion 29.
These protrusions 29 are arranged at the same position as the medicine storage path 24 in the radial direction of the rotor 8 (position corresponding to the medicine storage path 24).
In this embodiment, the protrusions 29 are arranged at an intermediate position between the drug storage path 24 and the drug storage path 24 at intervals of 90 °, and any of the protrusions 29 is positioned at the outermost end position of the bottom surface 32a.

Further, although the protrusions 29 are slightly protruded from the bottom surface 32a of the disk portion 32A, even if the coil spring 48 is contracted due to the weight of the tablet 5 on the lower rotating portion 32 or the coil spring 48 is contracted, Even if the rotor 8 (lower rotating part 32) is inclined with respect to the vertical axis 7 due to rattling due to an assembly error, the bottom surface 32a of the disk part 32A and the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall board 13 are not in contact with each other except the protrusions 29. The protrusion 29 is configured to contact the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 without contacting.
Note that these protrusions 29 are formed in a substantially hemispherical shape having a downward projection, and are integrally formed on the disc portion 32A with synthetic resin. A material excellent in self-lubricating property is used as a synthetic resin.
By the way, when the medicine container 4 is mounted on the medicine packaging device 1, the rotor 8 may rotate due to vibration of the device or the like. If the rotor 8 rotates, unnecessary tablets 5 are discharged from the medicine container 4. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent such rotation of the rotor 8.
The coil spring 48 also has a function of preventing the rotation of the rotor 8 as described above. In other words, the provision of the coil spring 48 increases the frictional resistance between the container body 6 and the rotor 8, thereby preventing the rotation of the rotor 8 as described above.

The upper rotating portion 33 is provided via a gap 19 in which the tablet 5 can drop with respect to the inner peripheral surface 36 of the cylindrical portion 17. In other words, the outer diameter side 33 a of the upper rotating portion 33 faces the inner peripheral surface 36 of the cylindrical portion 17 through the gap 19 in the radially inner and outer directions. The radial width of the gap 19 substantially coincides with the radial width of the medicine container 24.
With such a configuration of the upper rotating portion 33, when the tablet 5 is placed on the upper surface of the upper rotating portion 33, the tablet 5 slides obliquely downward along the upper surface or the inclined flat portion, and is stored in the medicine storage path 24. It is configured as follows.

A large-diameter driven gear 41 is fitted on the outer projecting portion 43 of the outer shaft 34. The large-diameter driven gear 41 is externally fitted to the outer protrusion 43 so as to be slidable in the direction of the longitudinal axis 7 and to rotate integrally. Reference numeral 60 indicates a sleeve-shaped upper and lower bearing (slide bearing), which facilitates relative rotation between the inner shaft 35 and the outer shaft 34 and prevents relative backlash between the inner shaft 35 and the outer shaft 34. To do.
In addition, on the teeth of the large-diameter driven gear 41, a locking portion of a leaf spring (not shown) is locked from the side in order to prevent unexpected rotation of the lower rotating portion 32.

A small-diameter driven gear (corresponding to a nut gear as an external fitting member) 45 having a smaller diameter than the large-diameter driven gear 41 is screwed onto the male screw 46 of the inner protruding portion 44 of the inner shaft 35. A concave portion 45 c that is concave upward is formed on the lower surface 45 b of the small-diameter driven gear 45. A fixing nut member 61 as a fixing means is screwed into the inner protruding portion 44 so as to overlap the small diameter driven gear 45 from below.
The fixing nut member 61 is configured to be housed in the recess 45c. When the fixing nut member 61 is tightened, the threads of the male screw 46 and the female screw of the small-diameter driven gear 45 are crimped in the vertical axis direction. The small-diameter driven gear 45 is firmly fixed to the inner protrusion 44.

Since the outer shaft 34 and the inner shaft 35 are provided with gears having different diameters, the medicine container 4 is mounted on the support 3 and a drive gear (not shown) is driven to drive each gear. When rotated, the upper rotating portion 33 and the lower rotating portion 32 rotate around the vertical axis 7 at different speeds.
The vertical distance δ1 between the tip end portion of the protrusion 29 and the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13, which is the floating amount, is between the lower surface 66a of the locking portion 66 and the upper end surface 23a of the cylindrical bulge portion 23. It is set smaller than the distance in the vertical direction.

In the medicine packaging device 1 configured as described above, the lid 4A of the medicine container 4 is opened, the tablet 5 is put into the container body 6 from the upper container 18, and the lid 4A is closed.
At this time, due to the elasticity of the coil spring 48, the lower rotating portion 32 floats from the upper surface 13 a of the bottom wall plate 13, and the protrusion 29 is also separated from the upper surface 13 a of the bottom wall plate 13.

  In the state where the tablet 5 is not contained in the medicine container 14, the distance δ1 in the vertical direction from the lowermost end of the protrusion 29 to the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 is cylindrical with the lower surface 66a of the locking portion 66. It is set smaller than the distance in the vertical direction with the upper end surface 23 a of the bulging portion 23.

Therefore, if the tablet 5 is put into the medicine container 14 and its weight is applied to the rotor 8 and the coil spring 48 is contracted, the lower surface 66a of the locking portion 66 comes into contact with the upper end surface 23a of the cylindrical bulging portion 23. Before, the protrusion 29 contacts the upper surface 13 a of the bottom wall plate 13.
Assuming that the protrusion 29 comes into contact with the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13, in this case, since the protrusion 29 is hemispherical, the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 and the protrusion 29 are in point contact.

  Subsequently, when the medicine container 4 is mounted so as to be pushed into the support 3, the front end portion of the leaf spring is pressed by the front end portion of the pressing wall 49 erected on the rear upper surface of the support 3. Then, the leaf spring is bent around the base end portion thereof, and the leaf spring latching portion that is latched to the teeth of the large-diameter driven gear 41 is released from the teeth and unlocked. The drive gear (not shown) is engaged with the small-diameter driven gear 45 and the large-diameter driven gear 41 so that the small-diameter driven gear 45 and the large-diameter driven gear 41 can rotate about the vertical axis 7.

In this state, when the drive gear is driven to rotate, the small-diameter driven gear 45 and the large-diameter driven gear 41 rotate around the outer shaft 34 and the inner shaft 35 at different speeds, respectively. The part 32 and the upper rotating part 33 rotate around the longitudinal axis 7 together with the outer shaft 34 and the inner shaft 35 at different speeds.
As described above, when the lower rotating portion 32 and the upper rotating portion 33 of the rotor 8 rotate at different speeds, the tablet 5 that has been put in is sufficiently agitated, and one tablet 5 is accommodated in the medicine accommodating path 24. The Further, another tablet 5 overlaps the tablet 5 stored in the medicine storage path 24. Furthermore, the tablets 5 are placed on the placement surface 24a so as to be arranged in a row in the circumferential direction.

  Further, since the locking portion 66 is formed on the back surface 47 of the bulging portion 40 and the upper end surface of the coil spring 48 is locked to the locking portion 66, the coil spring 48 is also moved along the vertical axis as the rotor 8 rotates. Rotate around 7.

  And if the tablet 5 has overlapped with the medicine storage path 24 in the upper and lower directions, the tablet 5 on the upper side is squeezed by the partition 10 by the rotation of the rotor 8 (in the medicine storage path 24). It is separated from tablet 5). When the rotor 8 rotates about the vertical axis 7 and the medicine storage path 24 in which the tablet 5 is stored faces the medicine discharge opening 22 in the vertical direction, only the tablet 5 is discharged from the medicine storage path 24. Fall to 22.

By the way, the vertical distance (maximum floating amount) between the lowermost end portion of the protrusion 29 and the upper surface 13 a of the bottom wall plate 13 is the lower surface 66 a of the locking portion 66 and the upper end surface 23 a of the cylindrical bulging portion 23. Is set to be smaller than the distance in the vertical direction.
Therefore, when the weight of the tablet 5 is applied to the rotor 8 and the rotor 8 moves downward, the lowermost end portion of the protrusion 29 comes into contact with the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13, and the lower surface 66a of the locking portion 66 and It does not contact the upper end surface 23a of the cylindrical bulge portion 23.

  Thus, even if the weight of the tablet 5 is applied to the rotor 8 and the rotor 8 rotates about the vertical axis 7, the rotor 8 and the upper surface 13 a of the bottom wall plate 13 are only in contact with each other by the protrusions 29. Compared with the case where the bottom surface 32a of the lower rotating part 32 is in contact with the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13, the frictional force is extremely small. For this reason, the rotor 8 can rotate around the longitudinal axis 7 very smoothly.

  By the way, the tablets 5 that overlap in the vertical direction are partitioned by the partition body 10, so that it is necessary to drop one tablet (predetermined number) of the tablets 5 in the medicine container 24. For this reason, the height relationship between the vertical position of the partition 10 and the overlapping position of the partitioned tablet 5 in the vertical direction needs to be set as accurately as possible.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the position of the protrusion 29 is arranged at the same position as the medicine accommodating path 24 on the bottom surface 32 a of the lower rotating portion 32. By configuring in this way, the protrusion 29 is applied to the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13, and the height position of the rotor 8 with respect to the bottom wall plate 13 is determined at the position where the protrusion 29 is present, so that the highest assembly accuracy is required It is possible to ensure the accuracy of assembly of the members at the positions where they are to be placed. Therefore, it is possible to reliably partition the tablets 5 that overlap in the vertical direction.

By the way, if the floating amount of the rotor 8 (mounting surface 24a) is too large and is higher than necessary with respect to the partition 10, and the rotor 8 comes into contact with the partition 10, the rotor 8 rotates smoothly. I will not. Moreover, when the floating amount of the rotor 8 is too small and is below the partition 10 more than necessary, the partition 10 is located at a position close to the vertical center of the upper tablet 5 among the tablets 5 that overlap in the vertical direction. A hitting phenomenon is assumed. If so, it is considered that the upper tablet 5 may be bitten between the partition 10 and the mounting surface 24a, or the upper tablet 5 may be damaged.
Therefore, the floating amount of the rotor 8 needs to be set to a height that is not excessive or insufficient with respect to the height position of the partition 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, the rotor 8 is assembled to the container body 6 as follows.

That is, the annular member 65 is attached to the lower end portion of the cylindrical bulge portion 23, the coil spring 48 is attached to the cylindrical bulge portion 23 so as to be externally fitted, and the inner shaft 35 is attached to the outer shaft 34 via the upper bearing 60. The lower rotating part 32 and the upper rotating part 33 are assembled so as to be fitted into the rotor 8, and the outer shaft 34 is inserted into the cylindrical bulging part 23.
Subsequently, the large-diameter driven gear 41 is externally inserted through the outer protrusion 43 of the outer shaft 34, and the lower bearing 60 is mounted so that the trunk portion 60a enters between the outer shaft 34 and the inner shaft 35. To do.

  Subsequently, a shim member (jig) 70 is inserted between the lower surface 41b of the large-diameter driven gear 41 and the upper surface of the flange 60b of the bearing 60 (see FIG. 8). The thickness of the shim member 70 is set equal to the predetermined floating amount (distance δ1) which is the maximum floating amount.

  Subsequently, the protrusion 29 is brought into contact with the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 against the elasticity of the coil spring 48, and in this state, the small-diameter driven gear 45 is screwed into the inner projecting portion 44 of the inner shaft 35 and tightened. In this way, the large-diameter driven gear 41, the shim member 70, and the bearing 60 are sandwiched between the bottom wall plate 13 and the small-diameter driven gear 45 in the direction of the vertical axis 7 with no gap.

  Subsequently, in a state in which the rotation of the inner shaft 35 and the small-diameter driven gear 45 is prevented, the fixing nut member 61 is screwed onto the inner projecting portion 44 of the inner shaft 35 so as to overlap the small-diameter driven gear 45 from below. The fixing nut member 61 is tightened to be crimped to the bottom surface of the recess 45c with a tool such as a wrench so that the fixing nut member 61 is accommodated in the recess 45c of the driven gear 45.

Then, due to the fastening force of the fixing nut member 61, the threads of the male screw 46 of the inner projecting portion 44 and the female screw of the small-diameter driven gear 45 are pressure-bonded in the direction of the vertical axis 7 so that the small-diameter driven gear 45 becomes the inner projecting portion. It is firmly fixed to 44.
Then, even if the shim member 70 is pulled out, the small-diameter driven gear 45 and the fixing nut member 61 are not easily rotated by the crimping of the threads, so that the small-diameter driven gear 45 is fixed in place. .

  By the way, the rotor 8 is biased upward by the coil spring 48, and the large-diameter driven gear 41 is slidable in the direction of the vertical axis 7 on the outer protrusion 43. Therefore, if the shim member 70 is removed, the tip of the protrusion 29 floats with respect to the upper surface 13 a of the bottom wall plate 13 by the thickness of the shim member 70 due to the elasticity of the coil spring 48.

Thus, the thickness of the shim member 70 is required in a state in which a degree of freedom is given to the position in the vertical direction with respect to the rotation center axis of the small-diameter driven gear 45 by making the inner protruding portion 44 of the inner shaft 35 the male screw 46. Even if there is a variation in the length of the longitudinal axis 7 of the rotation center axis by tightening the fixing nut member 61 by setting it to be equal to the floating amount, the projection 29 of the projection 29 on the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 It can be set accurately by adjusting the buoyancy.
Further, if the bottom of the container body 6 is warped, or if a bearing member is provided between the cylindrical bulging portion 23 and the outer shaft 34, the amount of insertion of the bearing member into the cylindrical bulging portion 23 varies. In the same manner, the buoyancy can be adjusted and set accurately.

In this way, an adjustment member whose position is adjusted along the shaft body with respect to the shaft body is realized by the small-diameter driven gear 45, and the adjustment member is adjusted by the double nut that is screwed into the male screw 46 of the inner shaft 35. A fixing means for fixing to the shaft body is realized. Then, the adjusting member and the fixing means constitute a locking means that is fixed to the shaft body with its position adjusted along the shaft body and that locks the rotor 8 to the lower part in the container body 6.
Moreover, one nut constituting the double nut is provided integrally with the small-diameter driven gear 45 serving as an adjustment member, whereby the size of the medicine container 4 can be reduced.

  In other words, the rotor 8 can be assembled to the bottom wall portion 12 so that the vertical distance between the position of the rotor 8 and the partitioning body 10 is not excessively short, and as a result, at a certain timing from the medicine discharge opening 22. The tablet 5 can be dropped, and the detection means detects that the tablet 5 reaches the tablet passage hole and passes through the tablet passage hole, and the tablet 5 is accurately distributed. Can do.

The lower surface 45b of the small-diameter driven gear 45 is formed with an annular recess 45c that is recessed upward, and the fixing nut member 61 is accommodated in the recess 45c. Is not bulky. In this way, the small-diameter driven gear 45 that is an adjustment member is formed with a recess into which the fixing nut member 61 that is the other nut constituting the double nut is fitted, and this also reduces the size of the medicine container 4. be able to.
On the contrary, if the height of the apparatus does not matter, it is not always necessary to form the recess 45c. In this case, the small-diameter driven gear 45 can be fixed at a predetermined position of the inner projecting portion 44 by pressing the fixing nut member 61 to the lower surface 45 b of the small-diameter driven gear 45.

  Next, another embodiment (second embodiment) will be described based on FIG. FIG. 10 is an overall perspective view in which the medicine container is turned upside down. A configuration different from the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 10 is a fixing means.

The fixing means in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 10 is composed of fixing nut members 71 and 72 that are screwed into the small diameter driven gear 45 from both sides of the male screw 46 and abut against the small diameter driven gear 45 so as to sandwich the small diameter driven gear 45. Has been.
In the figure, the concave portion 45 c is not formed in the small-diameter driven gear 45, but it is also preferable that concave portions in which part or all of the fixing nut members 71 and 72 are accommodated are formed on both side surfaces of the small-diameter driven gear 45. .
Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted. In addition, about the member which does not appear in FIG. 10, FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 9 is used.

  In the above-described configuration in the second embodiment, the large-diameter driven gear 41 is fitted to the outer protruding portion 43 of the outer shaft 34, and the lower bearing 60 is connected between the outer shaft 34 and the inner shaft 35. Wear so that it is in between. Then, the protrusion 29 is brought into contact with the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 against the elasticity of the coil spring 48, and in this state, between the lower surface 41b of the large-diameter driven gear 41 and the upper surface of the flange portion 60b of the bearing 60, The shim member 70 is inserted (see FIG. 8).

  Then, one fixing nut member 71 (the fixing nut member that is on the upper side in the usage state of the medicine container 4) is screwed into the male screw 46 of the inner projecting portion 44 until it hits the flange portion 60b of the bearing 60, and then Then, the small-diameter driven gear 45 is screwed into the male screw 46 until it contacts the one fixing nut member 71, and the other fixing nut member 72 is further engaged with the male screw 46 in the small-diameter driven gear 45 (lower in the usage state of the medicine container 4). Until it comes into contact with the fixing nut member).

After doing so, the other fixing nut member 72 is rotated by a tool such as a wrench, and the other fixing nut member 72 is fastened to the small-diameter driven gear 45.
Then, due to the fastening force of the other fixing nut member 72, the threads of the male screw 46 of the inner projecting portion 44 and the female screw of the small diameter driven gear 45, the male screw 46 of the inner projecting portion 44 and one fixing nut member The screw threads 71 are pressed in the direction of the longitudinal axis 7, and the small-diameter driven gear 45 is firmly fixed to the inner projecting portion 44.

  Here, even if the shim member 70 is pulled out (removed), the small diameter driven gear 45 and the fixing nut members 71 and 72 are not easily rotated by the crimping of the screw threads. Fixed in place. Otherwise, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 can be obtained.

Still another embodiment (third embodiment) will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. FIG. 11 is an overall perspective view in which the medicine container is turned upside down, and FIG. 12 is an overall longitudinal sectional view of the medicine container.
The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment and the second embodiment in the point that the male thread 46 is not formed in the inner projecting portion 44 and the configuration of the fixing means.

The fixing means in the third embodiment is formed on the small-diameter driven gear 45 itself and forms a part of the peripheral surface of the center hole 75, and is formed on the radially outer side of the pressure piece 76. Female screw (female screw hole) 77.
The fixing means can be screwed to the female screw 77 and has a male screw 78 for pressurizing the pressing piece 76 inward in the radial direction by screwing to the female screw 77.
The diameter of the male screw 78 is set larger than the diameter of the female screw 77, and a groove 79 is formed in a part of the outer periphery of the pressure piece 76. The pressure piece 76 is bent toward the center in the radial direction, and is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the inner protrusion 44.
Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted. In addition, about the member which does not appear in FIG.11, 12, FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 9 is used.

  In the above configuration, as shown in the first embodiment, the large-diameter driven gear 41 is fitted to the outer protruding portion 43 of the outer shaft 34, and the lower bearing 60 is connected to the outer shaft 34. It is mounted so as to enter between the inner shaft 35. Then, the protrusion 29 is brought into contact with the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 against the elasticity of the coil spring 48, and in this state, between the lower surface 41b of the large-diameter driven gear 41 and the upper surface of the flange portion 60b of the bearing 60, The shim member 70 is inserted (see FIG. 8).

  Subsequently, the small diameter driven gear 45 is mounted on the inner protruding portion 44 so that the center hole 75 of the small diameter driven gear 45 is inserted through the inner protruding portion 44. Subsequently, when the male screw 78 is screwed onto the female screw 77, the diameter of the male screw 78 is set to be larger than the diameter of the female screw 77. The small-diameter driven gear 45 is securely fixed to the inner projecting portion 44 by being crimped to the outer peripheral surface of the projecting portion 44. Accordingly, when the shim member 70 is removed, the rotor 8 floats (separates) from the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 with a predetermined floating amount by the elasticity corresponding to the thickness of the shim member 70 due to the elasticity of the coil spring 48. Others can achieve the same effects as the first embodiment.

  Yet another embodiment (fourth embodiment) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is an overall perspective view in which the medicine container is turned upside down. In addition, about the member which does not appear in FIG. 10, FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 9 is used.

In this embodiment, a screw lock agent is used as the fixing means. In this case, a male screw 46 is formed on the inner projecting portion 44, and the small-diameter driven gear 45 is a nut gear. In the figure, a screw lock agent is added to the male screw 46 of the inner protruding portion 44 or the female screw of the small diameter driven gear 45 using a screw lock agent insert 80 filled with a screw locking agent, so that the small diameter driven gear 45 is connected to the inner protruding portion 44. It is the structure fixed to this predetermined position.
Thereby, the rotor 8 with respect to the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13 can be set to a predetermined floating amount.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In each of the above-described embodiments, the rotation center axis has an inner and outer biaxial structure. However, the present invention can be applied even if the rotation center axis has a uniaxial structure.
When the rotation center axis is a uniaxial structure, the rotor is not divided vertically, and the rotor is rotated with the one axis as the rotation center axis. In this case, the number of driven gears (nut gears) is also one. Then, the driven gear is screwed into a male screw formed on a uniaxial projecting portion, the fixing nut member is crimped to the driven gear, and the screw threads of the driven gear and the fixing nut member are crimped to each other. Fix the driven gear. At this time, the shim member is inserted between the upper surface of the driven gear and the lower surface of the bottom wall plate.

  Alternatively, the male thread 46 is not formed on the inner projecting portion 44, and a gear corresponding to the configuration of the small-diameter driven gear 45 shown in the third embodiment (regardless of the size of the diameter) is used. You may fix to the predetermined position of 44.

For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, the protrusion 29 has a substantially hemispherical shape and is arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. However, the protrusion can also be formed on the bottom surface 32 a of the lower rotating portion 32 in an annular shape with the longitudinal axis 7 as the center.
The cross-sectional shape is not particularly limited, and a rectangular shape having a small radial width, an inverted triangular shape, a hemispherical shape, or the like having a predetermined length in the circumferential direction is formed on the same circumference at a predetermined interval. Or may be brought into line contact with the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall plate 13.

  In each of the above embodiments, since the medicine storage path 24 is disposed at the radially outer end of the lower rotating part 32, the projection 29 is accordingly corresponding to the radially outer end of the bottom surface 32 a of the lower rotating part 32. Arranged. However, since the projection is arranged at the same position as the medicine accommodating path in the radial direction of the rotor, the projection is not limited to being arranged at the radially outer end of the bottom surface of the rotor.

  In the above embodiment, the annular region of the radially inner portion from the outer peripheral surface of the lower rotating portion 32 is used as a medicine containing passage forming portion, and the outer peripheral surface of the lower rotating portion 32 is radially inward at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. By retracting, the medicine accommodating path 24 is formed along the vertical direction. However, the medicine container passage forming portion is a region that is displaced radially inward with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the rotor, and the medicine container passage is vertically penetrated radially inward with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the rotor. It may be formed as a hole.

In such a case, the projections are arranged so as to be displaced inward in the radial direction with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the rotor so as to be arranged at the same position as the medicine accommodating path. By disposing the protrusions at the same position as the drug storage path in the radial direction of the rotor, it becomes possible to ensure the assembly accuracy of the members at the position where the highest assembly accuracy is required. It can be reliably partitioned.
In any of the above-described protrusions, the frictional force is extremely small as compared with the case where the bottom surface of the rotor contacts the top surface of the bottom wall plate. For this reason, the rotor can rotate about the vertical axis very smoothly.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the protrusion was provided in the bottom face 32a of the lower rotation part 32, it can also be provided in the upper surface 13a of the bottom wall board 13. FIG.
In this case, the protrusion 8 and the bottom surface 32a of the lower rotating portion 32 are brought into point contact or line contact so that the rotor 8 can be stably rotated about the vertical axis 7 and the tablet is discharged from the medicine discharge opening 22. 5 can be dropped at a fixed timing.

  Although not shown, it is also preferable to form a guide recess continuously from the medicine discharge opening 22. When the rotor 8 (lower rotating portion 32) rotates and the protrusion 29 enters the medicine discharge opening 22, the protrusion 29 is guided by the guide surface of the guide recess and smoothly moves up. Is done smoothly.
