JP 2006-110386 A

  As described above, some medicine packaging devices of the prior art have the medicine dispensing means removable. However, the prior art medicine packaging device has a problem that it is difficult to attach and detach the medicine dispensing means, and it takes time and effort. Specifically, the attaching / detaching operation of the medicine dispensing means has to be performed on the cover that is in an unstable state by opening it in a cantilever manner with respect to the apparatus main body. Nevertheless, the conventional medicine packaging device has a problem that it cannot be easily attached or detached because the structure for fixing the medicine dispensing means is complicated.

  Further, the above-described hand basket device is provided with a shutter for opening and closing each medicine container, and when this is operated, a certain vibration is generated. Therefore, if the fixing structure of the medicine dispensing means is considered only for ease of attachment / detachment, there is a possibility that the medicine dispensing means will be displaced due to vibration caused by the operation of the shutter, resulting in a medicine dispensing failure.

  Accordingly, in order to solve such a problem, the present invention has an object to provide a medicine packaging device in which the medicine dispensing means can be easily attached and detached, and the medicine dispensing means can be securely attached so as not to cause a positional shift or the like. did.

  The drug packaging device of the present invention provided to solve the above-described problem has a cover that can be opened and closed by rotating with respect to a support shaft, and a support means provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cover, The medicine dispensing means is attached by the fixing means. The medicine dispensing means has a medicine container that can accommodate tablets, and can dispense the medicine contained in the medicine container. In the present invention, the support means employs a means capable of supporting the medicine dispensing means in a support region of the medicine dispensing means located on the support shaft side of the cover, and the fixing means is the support A device that can fix the medicine dispensing means in a fixed region of the medicine dispensing means located farther from the support shaft than the region is employed.

  In the present invention and the following description, “support” refers to support on a carrier, and includes concepts such as “support”, “clamping”, and “gripping”. In particular, in the present invention, “support” is a concept for “fixation” that restrains movement in all directions, and means restraint that does not reach restriction in all directions, that is, restraint in at least one direction.

  In the medicine packaging device of the present invention described above, the medicine dispensing means has a shutter that can be operated in a direction along the bottom surface of the medicine containing bowl to open and close the medicine containing bowl, and the fixing means is provided for the medicine dispensing means. It may be fixed so as to prevent movement of the shutter in the operation direction.

  In the medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention described above, it is desirable that the fixing means is disposed on both sides of the shutter operating direction with respect to the medicine dispensing means. Further, it is desirable that the fixing means is biased toward the medicine dispensing means side.

  In the medicine packaging device of the present invention described above, the support means supports the medicine dispensing means at a predetermined position of the cover, and the medicine dispensing means can be restrained from moving in the height direction when the cover is opened. It is desirable that

  In the medicine packaging device of the present invention, the medicine dispensing means is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the cover, that is, the face facing inward when the cover is closed, using support means and fixing means. Here, since the medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention can be opened and closed by rotating the cover with respect to the support shaft, it is relatively easy to attach and detach the medicine dispensing means in a region away from the support shaft. . However, the region close to the support shaft is not only the position that becomes the base end of the opening and closing of the cover, but also makes it difficult to attach and detach the medicine dispensing means due to the presence of devices inside the cover. Therefore, in the medicine packaging device of the present invention, the medicine dispensing means is supported in the support area close to the support shaft, and the medicine dispensing means is fixed in the fixed area farther from the support shaft than the support area. Therefore, in the medicine packaging device of the present invention, even if the fixed portion is released, the support state by the support means remains, so that safe removal is possible. On the other hand, the medicine dispensing means can be easily attached / detached as long as the fixing means is released from the fixing means, as compared with the case where all the fixing means are attached.

  Further, when the medicine dispensing means is provided with a shutter as described above, there is a concern that the medicine dispensing means may be displaced due to the influence of vibration or the like accompanying the operation of the shutter if the medicine dispensing means is not firmly fixed. . Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, in the medicine packaging device of the present invention, the medicine dispensing means can be fixed by the fixing means so as to prevent the movement of the shutter in the operating direction. Therefore, the medicine packaging apparatus according to the present invention can securely attach the medicine dispensing means so that the positional deviation does not occur even when the shutter is operated.

  As described above, when the fixing means is arranged on both sides of the shutter operating direction with respect to the medicine dispensing means, the stress acting on the shutter operating direction can be received by the fixing means, and the medicine dispensing attached to the cover The positional deviation of the means can be surely prevented.

  As described above, when the fixing means is urged toward the medicine dispensing means, the urging force acts on the medicine dispensing means, and is firmly fixed. Therefore, in the case of such a configuration, even if vibration due to the operation of the shutter acts, the positional deviation of the medicine dispensing means with respect to the cover can be more reliably prevented.

  Further, as described above, the support means supports the medicine dispensing means at a predetermined position of the cover, and can suppress the movement of the medicine dispensing means in the height direction when the cover is opened. In this case, it is possible to prevent the medicine dispensing means from dropping when the cover is opened and the fixation of the medicine dispensing means by the fixing member is released.

  Subsequently, after the entire structure of the medicine packaging device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described, the fixing structure of the handboard board 36 constituting the handgrip means 30 (the medicine dispensing means) will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the medicine packaging device 10 includes a tablet supply unit 14 and a powder supply unit 16 on the upper side of the device main body 12, and wraps and delivers the medicine supplied from these. It is possible. A cover 20 is attached to the upper surface of the apparatus main body 12. The cover 20 is supported by a support shaft 22 so as to be able to open and close by flipping the free end side upward. Further, the medicine packaging device 10 includes a medicine packaging portion 18 (see FIG. 5) for packaging medicine in a storage chamber 24 formed on the lower side of the device body 12.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the tablet supply unit 14 includes a handgrip means 30 and a divider 32 provided below the handgrip means 30. Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, the hand-claw means 30 includes a hand-clad board 36 and a shutter plate 38. The hand board 36 is a flat member having a substantially rectangular appearance, and as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of divided gavel 40 having a rectangular opening shape are provided side by side on the same plane. The split gavel 40 has a volume capable of inserting about several tablets, and penetrates from the top side of the handboard 36 toward the bottom side.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the hand board 36 has a flange portion 42 that protrudes outward on the top surface side. As will be described in detail later, the handboard 36 is mounted on the cover 20 by supporting or fixing the flange portion 42 using a support member 50 or a fixing member 60 provided on the back side of the cover 20. .

  A shutter plate 38 is provided on the bottom side of the hand board 36. The shutter plate 38 is for opening and closing the bottom of the divided gavel 40. The shutter plate 38 operates by receiving power from a power source (not shown) and slides in the longitudinal direction of the hand board 36 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. When the shutter plate 38 is actuated, the divided gavel 40 is opened, and the medicine stored in each divided gavel 40 can be dispensed toward the dividers 32 arranged immediately below.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the divider 32 is provided just below the dividing board 82 and the dividing board 82 in which a large number of dividing gavels 80 are formed in a grid shape, like the above-described hand-claw means 30. And two discharge plates 86a and 86b. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, a bottom cover 84 is provided on the bottom surface of the dividing board 82 so that the lower part of each divided gavel 80 can be individually opened and closed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the divider 32 is provided at a position that overlaps with the hand board 36 when the cover 20 is closed. Therefore, each divided gavel 80 arrives at a position corresponding to the divided gavel 40 provided on the hand board 36 of the hand means 30 described above. Further, when the shutter plate 38 of the hand means 30 is opened with the cover 20 closed, the medicine stored in each divided gavel 40 of the dividing board 36 corresponds to immediately below each divided gavel 40. It can be put into each divided gavel 80 provided.

  A bottom lid 84 is pivotally supported in a cantilever manner on each of the divided gavel 80 so that an opening provided on the bottom can be closed. As shown in FIG. 4B, the bottom lid 84 provided at the bottom of the divided gavel 80 is normally supported by the discharge plates 86a and 86b and is in a horizontal posture. Closed.

  When the discharge plates 86a and 86b are arranged as shown in FIG. 4A, the boundary portions are cut out in a stepped manner, and the discharge plate 86b moves in the longitudinal direction as indicated by an arrow A. When the relative positions of the two are shifted, a gap 86c is formed between them. The gap 86c is formed in a stepped manner with a predetermined pitch interval in the short direction (up and down direction in FIG. 4A) and the long direction (left and right direction in FIG. 4A) of the discharge plates 86a and 86b. . The gap 86c is formed in a step shape in accordance with the position of the divided gavel 80 constituting each row in the divided gavel 80 arranged in a matrix. A tablet guide path 34a (not shown in FIG. 4) is provided below the discharge plates 86a and 86b and below the portion where each gap 86c is formed.

  The dividing plate 82 can move on the discharge plates 86a and 86b. Therefore, if the dividing plate 82 is moved in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 4 with the gap 86c formed between the discharge plates 86a and 86b, the bottom lid 84 provided on the back side of the dividing plate 82 reaches the gap 86c. Then, each divided gavel 80 sequentially opens downward. Thereby, the medicine accommodated in each divided gavel 80 is dispensed to the medicine packaging portion 18 provided for medicine packaging via the tablet guide path 34a and the hopper 34b. This payout will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the powder supply unit 16 includes charging hoppers 90 a and 90 b and a divided supply device 92. As shown in FIG. 1, the charging hoppers 90 a and 90 b are opened on the top surface of the cover 20, and the powder to be packaged by the operator can be input through this. The split supply device 92 is located inside the medicine packaging device 10 and below the input hoppers 90a and 90b. The divided supply device 92 is a device that employs a so-called circular disk method (R disk method), and has a divided plate 94 that is disk-shaped in plan view. In the vicinity of the outer periphery of the dividing plate 94, a concave R groove 94a that is recessed in an arc shape from the front surface side to the back surface side is provided around the entire periphery of the dividing plate 94, and the above-described charging hoppers 90a and 90b are provided. It is supposed that powder can be put in. Further, the dividing plate 94 is rotatable by receiving the power of a motor (not shown) provided on the back side. For this reason, if powder is supplied from the hoppers 90a, 90b to the division dish 94 while the division dish 94 is rotated, the powder can be dispersed almost uniformly in the R groove 94a.

  The split supply device 92 has a screw 96. The screw 96 is for collecting the powdered powder in the R groove 94a, and is attached to the vicinity of the tip of an arm member 98 provided so as to traverse in the radial direction from the center of the dividing plate 94. The inclination of the arm member 98 can be adjusted as appropriate, and as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5, the screw 96 enters and crosses the R groove 94 a, and the region in the R groove 94 is divided with the screw 96 as a boundary. Alternatively, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 5, the screw 96 can protrude from the R groove 94a. When the dividing plate 94 is rotated in a state where the screw 96 crosses the R groove 94 a, powdered powder that is sprinkled on the downstream side in the rotation direction of the dividing plate 94 with respect to the screw 96 can be dammed and dispensed. Therefore, when the powder is divided into N pieces, the powder 96 crosses the R groove 94a in the state where the powder is almost uniformly spread in the R groove 94a of the divided dish 94, and the screw 96 is crossed over the R groove 94a. By rotating it by 360 degrees, the powder corresponding to one package can be dispensed to the side of the screw 96.

  The screw 96 has a scraping member 96a on the surface facing the downstream side of the dividing plate 94 in the rotation direction. The screw 96 is attached at the tip of the arm member 92 so that the scraping member 96a can be rotated integrally. Therefore, after the powder equivalent to one package is dispensed to the side of the screw 96 as described above, the scraping member 96a is rotated, and the screw 96 is then dispensed to the hopper 34b provided inside the R groove 94a. Can be put out.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 5 again, the medicine movement path through which the medicine accommodated in each divided gavel 80 in the hand means 30 of the tablet supply section 14 reaches the medicine packaging section 18 will be described. When each divided gavel 80 of the hand means 30 is opened downward, the medicine accommodated in each divided gavel 80 is dispensed to the charging hopper 34c as indicated by an arrow A. The tablet dispensed to the insertion hopper 34c falls down the cylindrical tablet guide path 34a, and is dispensed into the input hopper 34b from the tablet outlet 34d that opens into the input hopper 34b at the lower end of the tablet guide path 34a. Therefore, the medicine dispensed from the tablet outlet 34d and the powder dispensed from the screw 96 described above are mixed, and the powder and medicine corresponding to one package are dispensed to the medicine packaging unit 18 from below the charging hopper 34.

Here, although the medicine movement path from the hand means 30 to the medicine packaging unit 18 has been described, the cassette type is used as an alternative to the hand means 30 or in combination with the hand means 30 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. There is a case where the medicines dispensed from the tablet feeder 35 are sequentially dispensed to the arrow B, the input hopper 34c, the tablet guide path 34a, and the hopper 34b. The cassette type tablet feeder 35 is configured to install a cassette of a desired medicine from a plurality of cassettes each containing the same kind of medicine, and to pay out to the charging hopper 34c.

  Next, the medicine packaging unit 18 is provided below the tablet supply unit 14 and the powder supply unit 16 described above. The medicine packaging unit 18 includes packaging means 100 and transport means 120. The packaging unit 100 includes a printing mechanism 100a, a sealing mechanism 100b, and a roll shaft 100c. The roll shaft 100c is wrapped with a wrapping paper made of a sheet-like long heat-fusible sheet. The printing mechanism 100a prints information such as the type of medicine to be packaged and the patient name on the packaging paper fed out from the roll shaft 100c using an ink ribbon or the like. The wrapping paper printed by the printing mechanism 100a is sent to the seal mechanism 100b side. The sealing mechanism 100b folds the wrapping paper sent from the printing mechanism 100a into two at the substantially central portion in the short side direction (width direction), and heats and presses (seals) the folded wrapping paper. It is a bag. The portion provided with the seal mechanism 100b faces the end portion of the hopper 34b functioning as a guide path for tablets and powder dispensed from the tablet supply unit 14 and the powder supply unit 16, and is dispensed from the hopper 34b. The medicine can be packaged by the seal mechanism 100b.

  Further, the wrapping paper pressure-bonded by the seal mechanism 100b is further fed. This feeding is performed by the transport mechanism 120. Specifically, the wrapping paper is fed by rotating the roll shaft 100c by the tension of the conveyor 120a disposed in front of the wrapping paper in the traveling direction. For convenience of sending the wrapping paper to the conveyor 120a, it is necessary to twist it by 90 °. However, as the apparatus becomes more compact, the distance from the printing mechanism 100a to the conveyor 120a becomes shorter and the device suddenly twists by 90 °. At this time, wrinkles were generated by the pulling force from the conveyor 120a, and the wrapping paper was sometimes jammed in the conveyor 120a.

Specifically, a brush 120b and a guide plate 120b are arranged along the progress of the wrapping paper. First, the wrapping paper fed out from the wrapping means 100 is passed through the brush 120b in contact with the surface thereof. The brush 120b has a bundle of a plurality of resin fibers arranged in parallel in the width direction of the wrapping paper. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the tip of the resin fiber of the brush 120 b is configured to contact the surface of the wrapping paper so as to show the positional relationship between the brush 120 b and the wrapping paper. Further, a holding metal 120d is disposed on the surface of the wrapping paper opposite to the brush 120b (upper side in FIG. 17). Therefore, the delivered wrapping paper advances while avoiding the generation of wrinkles by the brush 120b. In particular, the wrapping paper avoids the generation of wrinkles by the brush 120b as it progresses sequentially between the part where the medicine is accommodated and the other part is not swollen, and further, the elasticity of the brush 120b and the holding metal 12d. Thus, the swelling of the wrapping paper can be sufficiently absorbed, so that the wrapping paper is not jammed by the swelling of the wrapping paper.

  Referring to FIG. 5 again, after passing through the brush 120b, the wrapping paper comes into surface contact with the guide plate 120c. This guide plate 120c has a role of guiding the wrapping paper so as to advance while gently twisting the wrapping paper by a desired angle. Specifically, the guide plate 120 is formed of a plate twisted in the same direction as the twisting direction of the wrapping paper, and the surface of the wrapping paper is brought into contact with this surface to guide the progress of the wrapping paper. It is guided along the twisting.

  Subsequently, a mounting structure of the hand board 36, which is a characteristic configuration of the medicine packaging device 10 of the present embodiment, will be described. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 8, the hand board 36 has a support member 50 and a fixing member 60 provided on the back side (inner peripheral surface 20 a) of the cover 20, that is, on the surface facing the inside when the cover 20 is closed. It is mounted using. As shown in FIG. 9, the support member 50 is a member having a substantially “U” -shaped cross section, and is a clasp-like member made of a metal such as stainless steel. The support member 50 is a member having two opposing clamping surfaces 52 and 54 and a vertical surface 56 substantially perpendicular thereto, with a gap 58 formed therebetween. The support member 50 is fixed by screws or the like with the clamping surface 52 in surface contact with the back surface of the cover 20 and with the vertical surface 56 facing the support shaft 22 side (base end side) of the cover 20. Therefore, the support member 50 is attached in a state where the gap 58 is opened toward the front side (free end side) of the cover 20.

  Further, the sandwiching surface 54 of the support member 50 has a bent portion 54a that is recessed in a valley shape from the outer side to the inner side of the gap 58 in the middle portion from the vertical surface 56 side to the tip side. Therefore, the interval between the sandwiching surfaces 52 and 54 is small at the position where the bent portion 54a is provided. However, the gap 58 as a whole is sufficiently larger than the plate thickness of the flange portion 42 provided on the outer periphery of the hand board 36 described above. Therefore, the support member 50 can freely insert the flange portion 42 of the hand board 36 between the clamping surfaces 52 and 54. On the other hand, when the handboard board 36 is attached to the cover 20 using the fixing member 60 described in detail later, when the flange portion 42 and the sandwiching surface 52 are in a substantially parallel state, the sandwiching surface as shown in FIG. The bent portion 54a provided at 54 abuts and a biasing force acts on the flange portion 42, so that the handboard 36 is supported with a strength sufficient to prevent displacement.

Further, the support member 50 is inclined in a direction in which the holding surface 54 is away from the opposing holding surface 52 on the tip side of the bent portion 54a. Therefore, the support member 50 has a wider space on the front end side of the sandwiching surfaces 52 and 54. Therefore, the support member 50 can easily insert the flange portion 42 of the hand board 36 into the gap 58 formed between the holding surfaces 52 and 54.
Here, as shown in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, the cover 20 is provided with a mounting region S for mounting the hand board 36. This mounting area S is a rectangular area having the same size as the hand board 36 and long in the width direction of the medicine packaging device 1. More specifically, the mounting region S includes, on the support shaft 22 side, a side L1 extending along the support shaft 22, a side L2 parallel to the side L1, and a side L3 intersecting the sides L1 and L2. It is a substantially rectangular area surrounded by L4, and the hand board 36 is arranged and mounted so as to cover the mounting area S. The above-described support member 50 is provided in a region (hereinafter referred to as support-side region S1) located on the side of the support shaft 22 that supports the cover 20 in the mounting region S described above. Further, the support members 50 are provided one by one at positions on both ends in the longitudinal direction of the support side region S1.

  More specifically, when a virtual line L5 parallel to the sides L1 and L2 is assumed between the sides L1 and L2, for example, a region closer to the side L1 than the virtual line L5 in the mounting region S is a support side. This corresponds to the region S1. The imaginary line L5 passes through the position of the center of gravity of the hand board 36 attached to the mounting area S. The support member 50 is attached such that the vertical surface 56 is positioned on the side L1 and the gap 58 is opened toward the support region S1 side. Therefore, when the flange portion 42 of the hand board 36 is inserted into the gap 58 of the support member 50 from the side L2 side to the side L1 side and brought into contact with the vertical surface 56, the outer edge of the flange portion 42 is set to the sides L1 and L2. Arrives at the corresponding position. Therefore, the support member 50 can exhibit a function as a guiding means for guiding the hand board 36 to the mounting area S when the hand board 36 is mounted.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the fixing member 60 described above is a member having a substantially “L” -shaped cross section, and is a member made of a metal such as stainless steel. The fixing member 60 includes a horizontal portion 62 and a standing portion 64 that rises substantially perpendicularly thereto. On the front end side of the horizontal portion 62, there is a back contact portion 62a that is bent so as to rise in a mountain shape. The standing portion 64 has a side abutting portion 64a formed by cutting and raising. The side contact portion 64a is bent so as to rise in a mountain shape, like the back surface contact portion 62a. Specifically, the side abutting portion 64a is separated from the standing portion 64 from the position on the horizontal portion 62 side (base end side) toward the distal end side, and continues to the surface 64b toward the distal end side. And a surface 64c approaching the upright portion 64 side.

  The fixing member 60 is fixed in a state where the horizontal portion 62 is in surface contact with the back side of the cover 20. Therefore, the standing portion 64 of the fixing member 60 is in a state of being erected with respect to the back surface of the cover 20. The fixing member 60 is provided in the above-described mounting region S in a region farther from the support shaft 22 than the support side region S1 (hereinafter, also referred to as a fixed side region S2), that is, a region on the front side of the operator in the cover 20. It has been. Further, the fixing member 60 has a posture in which the surface forming the standing portion 64 is substantially perpendicular to the support shaft 22 in the longitudinal direction of the mounting region S, that is, on both sides in the width direction of the medicine packaging device 10. It is fixed. The surface forming the upright portion 64 exists on the sides L3 and L4 that intersect the support shaft 30 (substantially orthogonal in the present embodiment) among the sides forming the outer edge of the mounting region S. Further, the fixing member 60 is fixed so that the side contact portion 64a provided on the standing portion 64 protrudes toward the inside of the mounting region S from the sides L3 and L4.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the flange portion 42 of the hand board 36 is brought into contact with the back surface contact portion 62 a provided at the tip portion of the horizontal portion 62, and the flange portion 42 is made to be in contact with the horizontal portion 62. When the posture is substantially horizontal, the flange portion 42 is in contact with a surface 64b located on the proximal end side of the side contact portion 64a provided on the standing portion 64. As a result, the side contact portion 64a becomes an obstacle, and the flange portion 42 of the hand board 36 is fixed so as not to be separated from the cover 20 and the horizontal portion 62 side.

  The standing portion 64 of the fixing member 60 has flexibility. Therefore, if an operator presses with a finger as shown by an arrow in FIG. 12, the standing portion 64 existing on the sides L3 and L4 intersects the sides L3 and L4 and moves away from the mounting region S. Can be bent toward Therefore, if both of the standing portions 64 and 64 of the fixing member 60 existing on the sides L3 and L4 corresponding to both sides of the mounting area S are pressed and bent toward the outside of the mounting area S, The interval between the standing portions 64 and 64 can be increased. Further, when the standing portions 64 and 64 are bent so that the side contact portions 64a and 64a protrude outside the mounting region S, the flange portion is provided so that the fixed platen 36 is not separated from the cover 20 and the horizontal portion 62. The side abutting portions 64a and 64a that have pressed down 42 are separated from the flange portion 42, and the handboard 36 is released from being fixed.

  As described above, the hand board 36 is detachably attached to the back side of the cover 20 using the support member 50 and the fixing member 60. More specifically, the manual board 36 inserts the flange 42 into the gaps 58 and 58 provided in the two support members 50 and 50 in a state where the cover 20 is opened, so that the support shaft 22 side ( It will be in the state supported in the position of the support side area | region S1 side. Here, as described above, the support member 50 has a wide interval at the tip side of the sandwiching surfaces 52, 54, that is, at a portion corresponding to the gap 58. Therefore, the handboard 36 can be easily inserted into the support members 50 and 50 located on the base end side of the cover 20.

  On the other hand, on the front side of the cover 20 (on the fixed side region S2 side), when the standing portions 64 and 64 of the fixing members 60 and 60 are pressed and bent toward the outside of the mounting region S, they are erected. The space | interval of the parts 64 and 64 spreads, and it will be in the state which can arrange | position the hand board 36. FIG. In this state, after placing the hand board 36 between the standing portions 64 and 64, when the pressing force applied to the standing portions 64 and 64 is released, the standing portions 64 and 64 return to their original postures, The flange portion 42 is pressed by the surfaces 64b and 64b of the side contact portions 64a and 64a. Further, an urging force is applied from the standing portions 64 and 64 disposed on both sides of the hand board 36. By these actions, the hand board 36 is firmly fixed.

  On the other hand, when removing the hand board 36 for maintenance such as cleaning, the cover 20 is opened, and the standing portions 64 and 64 of the fixing members 60 and 60 are first pressed toward the outside of the mounting region S. To widen the space between the standing portions 64, 64. Thereby, the engagement between the side contact portions 64a and 64a and the flange portion 42 of the handboard board 36 is released, and the handboard board 36 is released from the fixed state.

  Here, when the handboard board 36 is in the unlocked state as described above, the handboard board 36 from the back side of the cover 20 on the front side of the cover 20 (on the fixed side region S2 side) due to the weight of the handboard board 36. There is a possibility of tilting away. However, even when the handboard board 36 is tilted, the handboard board 36 is supported by the support member 50 on the base end side (support side region S1) of the cover 20, and moves in the height direction. Is suppressed. Therefore, even if the fixation is released as described above, the handboard 36 does not fall. Further, the support member 50 is supported by the support member 50 even if the hand board 36 is slightly inclined due to the above-described fixing release because the holding surface 54 is inclined in the direction away from the holding surface 52 on the distal end side. Unreasonable stress does not act on the part.

  After the fixing by the fixing members 60 and 60 is released as described above, when the handboard board 36 is pulled to the front side of the operator, the flange portion 42 of the handboard board 36 is removed from the gap 58 between the support members 50 and 50. As a result, the hand board 36 is completely removed from the cover 20.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the side contact portion 64a may not be provided. Even in such a configuration, the hand board 36 can be sandwiched and fixed by the standing portion 64. In this configuration, since the fixing force acting on the handboard board 36 is smaller than when the side abutting portion 64a is provided, the handboard board is secured by pins or the like so as not to be removed from the cover 20 side. It is desirable to fix 36 in an auxiliary manner.

  The arrangement and quantity of the support member 50 and the fixing member 60 shown in the above embodiment are only those shown in the embodiment, and how many arrangements can be made at any place where the hand board 36 can be supported or fixed. May be. Specifically, in the above embodiment, two support members 50 are provided on the side L1 forming the outer edge of the mounting region S, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the center of the side L1 Only one support member 50 may be provided in the vicinity, or a larger number may be provided.

  Further, although the fixing members 60 are arranged one by one on the sides L3 and L4 and in the vicinity of the position intersecting the side L2, the present invention is not limited to this, and the sides L3 and L4 are arranged. A plurality of fixing members 60 may be arranged on the top. Further, the position where the fixing member 60 is provided is any position on the side of the fixed side region S2 on the sides L3 and L4 and on the near side of the operator from the virtual line L5 assumed in the middle of the sides L1 and L2. It may be provided.

  It is also possible to arrange the fixing member 60 or a member that can be fixed so as not to remove the hand board 36 from the cover 20 on the side L2. In this case, in order to prevent the displacement of the hand board 36 due to the operation of the shutter plate 38, a configuration is adopted in which pins or the like are mounted at appropriate positions on the sides L3 and L4 in the same manner as the fixing member 60 described above. desirable. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the fixing member 60 has both a fixing function for fixing the handboard board 36 with respect to the cover 20 and a position regulation function for preventing the position deviation of the handboard board 36 due to the operation of the shutter 38. However, the member that exhibits the fixing function and the member that exhibits the position regulating function may be provided separately, and both may be used as the fixing means.

  The medicine packaging device 10 shown in the above embodiment is provided with the powder supply unit 16 in addition to the tablet supply unit 14 provided with the hand means 30, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the medicine supply unit 16 may not be provided, or another tablet supply means may be provided in addition to the handcuff means 30.

  In the above embodiment, the hand picking means 30 is given as an example of the medicine dispensing means, and the configuration in which the hand picking means 30 is attached to the cover 20 using the support member 50 or the fixing member 60 is exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. is not. In other words, it includes a medicine container that is attached to the inner peripheral surface 20a of the cover 20 and can accommodate a medicine such as the split gavel 40, and a shutter that slides along the cover 20 and opens and closes like the shutter plate 38. If it is a thing (medicine delivery means), it will not be limited to the above-mentioned manual means 30, and what kind of thing may be sufficient.

  The medicine packaging device 10 may be configured to fix the handboard board 36 by a fixing member 70 as shown in FIG. 18, for example, instead of the fixing member 60 described above. More specifically, the fixing member 70 is constituted by a fastener called a snap lock or a catch clip. The fixing member 70 has a lever 70 a and an annular engaging portion 70 b and is used in combination with the engaging member 72. When the lever 70a is tilted with the engaging portion 70b hooked to the engaging member 72, the fixing member 70 is tensioned to pull the engaging member 72 to the fixing member 70 side. Will be firmly engaged. On the other hand, when the lever 70a is lifted, the tension that pulled the engaging member 72 to the fixing member 70 side is released, and the engagement between the engaging portion 70b and the engaging member 72 can be released. It becomes possible.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, the fixing member 70 is fixed to the flange portion 42 of the hand board 36, and the supporting region S of the mounting area S formed on the inner peripheral surface 20 a of the cover 20 provided on the apparatus main body 12 side is supported. An engagement member 72 is attached to the fixed side region S2 located away from the shaft 22. As shown in FIG. 20, one fixing member 70 is provided at each longitudinal end of the flange portion 42. One engagement member 72 is provided at each of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the fixed side region S2 provided in the cover 20. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, a notch 74 is provided at a position adjacent to the fixing member 70 in the flange portion 42 of the hand board 36.

  When the manual board 36 is fixed by the fixing member 70, the flange portion 42 of the manual board 36 is inserted into the two support members 50, 50 provided in the support side area S1 of the cover 20, and the manual board 36 is inserted into the mounting area S. When the board 36 is set, the engaging member 72 attached to the cover 20 side is exposed in a notch 74 provided in the flange portion 42 of the hand board 36. In this state, when the lever 70a is tilted after engaging the engaging portion 70b of the fixing member 70 with the engaging member 72, the hand board 70 is firmly fixed to the cover 20 as shown in FIG. It becomes a state. On the contrary, when the lever 70a is raised with the handboard 36 fixed, the engagement between the engagement portion 70b and the engagement member 72 can be released.

  As described above, if a snap lock, a catch clip, or the like is used as the fixing member 70, it is possible to fix the hand board 36 in the fixing side region S2 or release the fixing only by raising and lowering the lever 70a. The handboard 36 can be attached and detached more easily.

  Each of the medicine packaging devices 10 shown as the embodiment and the modified example thereof includes the hand board 36, and the operator can put the medicine into the divided gavel 40 formed on the hand board 36. ing. In such a structure, an operator can put a finger or the like into the split gavel 40 in order to take out a medicine that has been mistakenly inserted, and a pressing force can act on the shutter plate 38 that forms the bottom surface of the hand board 36. There is sex. The shutter plate 38 is slidable on the back side of the hand board 36, and the peripheral edge portion is not firmly fixed. Therefore, when a finger or the like is caught in the divided gavel 40 at the peripheral portion and a pressing force is applied to the shutter plate 38 at the portion, there is a possibility that the shutter plate 38 floats from the hand board 36 and a gap is formed. Therefore, when there is such a concern, for example, as shown in FIG. 19 or FIG. 22, a locking member 76 having a cross-sectional “U” shape is provided on the handboard board 36 side. It is desirable that the outer edge portion of the plate 38 be locked.

  In the example shown by the said embodiment, the tablet guide path 34a and the insertion hopper 34c are provided in the vicinity of the powder supply part 16, and the tablet discharged | emitted from the tablet supply part 14 is supplied to the packaging means 100 side via these. It is possible. Therefore, when the powder supply unit 16 handles the powder, the powder may rise upward through the tablet guide path 34a and the charging hopper 34c, and the powder may accumulate on the tablet guide path 34a and the charging hopper 34c. is there. Therefore, when there is such a concern, a fan is provided above the tablet guide path 34a and the charging hopper 34c, and the fan is driven at the time of the powder packing operation so that a very small amount of wind that does not allow the powder to rise is generated. You may send it. As a result, it is possible to prevent the powder from flowing into the tablet guide path 34a and the charging hopper 34c, so that the powder is scattered in an unexpected place, and the powder is deposited inside the tablet guiding path 34a and the charging hopper 34c. The problem can be solved. In the case where a fan is provided as described above, the installation position of the fan can be set to an appropriate position with respect to the tablet guide path 34a and the loading hopper 34c. It is desirable to take care not to interfere with the supply of tablets via

  When the fan is provided as described above, in addition to the powder packaging operation, the fan is also operated at an appropriate timing after the powder packaging operation, specifically at the time of cleaning, etc. It is good also as discharging the powder which accidentally entered hopper 34c. When it is set as such a structure, it is good also as changing the ventilation volume of a fan at the time of cleaning etc. performed after a powder packaging operation | movement at the time of a powder packaging operation. More specifically, in a situation where there is no powder prepared for the packing in the powder supply unit 16 as in the timing of cleaning performed after the powder packing operation, the above-described fan operation is performed more than in the powder packing operation. By increasing the amount of air blown, it becomes possible to more reliably discharge the powder that has entered the tablet guide path 34a and the input hopper 34c by mistake.

  Further, in the medicine packaging device 10 described above, at the end of the packaging operation, it is necessary to clean each part of the screw 96, the dividing plate 94, and the hopper 34b so that the medicine used last time is not mixed in the next packaging. There is. For this reason, in order to facilitate the cleaning operation, it is desirable to provide a suction device near each of these parts, and to provide a cleaning brush on the screw 96 or the dividing plate 94. Further, from the viewpoint of preventing the dust that flew during the cleaning from adhering to the other site where the cleaning has been completed, for example, from reducing the efficiency of the cleaning operation, the above-described cleaning of each part is performed by the screw 96, the division. It is desirable to carry out in the order of the plate 94 and the hopper 34b.

  Further, when it is desired to start the packaging operation even during cleaning while suppressing the reduction in the efficiency of the cleaning work described above, the cleaning order of the respective parts described above is set in the order of the screw 96, the hopper 34b, and the dividing plate 94. It is preferable. Therefore, based on this knowledge, the cleaning means for the divided dish 94 is provided at a position away from the installation position of the hopper 34b, for example, so that when the divided dish 94 is cleaned, it is dropped on the hopper 34b that has been previously cleaned. It is desirable to have a configuration that can prevent this. When the cleaning means for the dividing tray 94 is arranged in this way, it is possible to reliably prevent dust from falling on the hopper 34b when cleaning the dividing tray 94 after cleaning the hopper 34b, and the efficiency of the cleaning work. Thus, the packaging operation can be started even during cleaning. In addition, when installing the cleaning means of the division plate 94 as described above, the arrangement of the cleaning means may be any position in the circumferential direction of the division plate 94 and may be arranged with other devices. It can be set as appropriate in consideration.

  In the medicine packaging device 10 shown in the above embodiment, the planar dish has a disk-shaped divided dish 94, and the powder scraped out by the screw 96 from the divided dish 94 can be supplied to the hopper 34b for packaging. Has been. As shown in FIG. 24, a shutter 34x is provided at the opening at the lower end of the hopper 34b. The shutter 34x is in a closed state when the powder is packaged. Therefore, the powdered medicine scraped out from the dividing plate 94 is once stored in the hopper 34b. In addition, the shutter 34x is opened when it is time to supply the powdered medicine for packaging. As a result, the powder stored in the hopper 34b is put into the wrapping paper prepared further below the hopper 34b.

  In the medicine packaging device 10, as described above, the powder for dropping is once applied to the hopper 34 b in order to prevent the powder falling from the dividing tray 94 from falling on the packaging paper as it is. However, it is desirable that the hopper 34b and the like have a configuration that can prevent the powder from being scattered. Specifically, when a powder is put into the hopper 34b in which the shutter 34x is closed, the powder tends to rise along the inner peripheral surface of the hopper 34b as shown by an arrow in FIG. Therefore, in consideration of such characteristics, for example, a blow-up prevention guide 130 as shown in FIGS. 23 to 25 may be attached to the opening above the hopper 34b.

  More specifically, the blow-up prevention guide 130 has a flange portion 130a extending in a bowl shape from the upper edge portion of the hopper 34b in the attached state to the hopper 34b, and has an opening 130b for powder injection at the center. It is set as the structure which has. Further, the blow-up prevention guide 130 can be appropriately detached from the hopper 34b, and can be removed and separately cleaned.

  As described above, if the blow-up prevention guide 130 is attached to the hopper 34b, it is effective that the powder rising up along the inner peripheral surface of the hopper 34b is scattered as the powder is introduced into the hopper 34b. Can be prevented. In addition, since the blow-up prevention guide 130 is provided with the opening 130b in the center, there is no trouble in putting the powdered medicine scraped out from the dividing plate 94 into the hopper 34b.

  The above-described blow-up prevention guide 130 is not a part where the collar portion 130a surrounds the opening 130b over the entire circumference due to the positional relationship with other members constituting the medicine packaging device 10, and a part missing in the circumferential direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may surround the entire circumference of the opening 130b. In the above example, the example in which the hopper 34b is provided with the shutter 34x is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and even if the shutter 34x is not provided, the blow-up prevention guide It is possible to adopt a configuration in which 130 is attached. Even in the configuration in which the powder that has been put into the hopper 34b without the shutter 34x is thrown into the wrapping paper as it is, it is considered that the powder is scattered along the inner peripheral surface of the hopper 34b as in the case of having the shutter 34x. Therefore, even if the shutter 34x is not provided, it is possible to prevent the powder from scattering by attaching the blow-up prevention guide 130 to the hopper 34b.
