Therefore, it is possible to reliably suppress the overlapping of the tablets in the pocket portion, and as a result, it is possible to accommodate the appropriate tablet in the pocket portion.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the PTP sheet 1 in the present embodiment forms a packaging film 3 having a plurality of pocket portions 2 and a packaging film 3 so as to close the pocket portions 2. The cover film 4 is attached. The packaging film 3 is made of PP and has optical transparency (here, it is transparent). The cover film 4 is made of aluminum.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the pocket portion 2 has a shape that is long in the vertical direction of the sheet (the direction indicated by the symbol W in FIG. 1A). The locks can be accommodated in pairs. Moreover, the pocket part 2 is formed in the shape where the intermediate part (the center part in the sheet | seat vertical direction W) of the tablet 5 accommodated protrudes in the storage space side of the tablet 5, and this part is used as a "projection part". It is a delimiter 7. Thereby, in the pocket part 2, the movement to the other tablet 5 of the one tablet 5 is controlled.

  Further, the packaging film 3 of the PTP sheet 1 is formed with a plurality of lateral slits 6 so that it can be separated into, for example, two pocket portions 2, that is, small pieces containing 4 tablets 5 (of course, of course). A vertical slit may be formed, or the slit may be omitted).

  In this embodiment, such a PTP sheet 1 is manufactured by a dedicated packaging machine. Therefore, the configuration of the PTP packaging machine (blister packaging machine) 10 as the “PTP sheet manufacturing apparatus” will be described next.

  The PTP packaging machine 10 automatically fills and wraps the tablets 5 on the packaging film 3.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the packaging film 3 is fed into the heating device 21 and the molding device 22 by the film feed roller 11 and the tension rollers 12 and 13. And in the heating apparatus 21 and the shaping | molding apparatus 22, the pocket part 2 (refer FIG. 1) in which the tablet 5 is accommodated is shape | molded by the film 3 for packaging. The pocket part 2 shape | molded here can accommodate the tablet 5 side by side in the film width direction which is the width direction of the film 3 for packaging. That is, the sheet up-down direction W shown in FIG. 1A coincides with the film width direction of the packaging film 3 in the manufacturing stage. Moreover, the pocket part 2 shape | molded here has the division part 7 shown in FIG.1 (c). Here, the heating device 21 and the molding device 22 in the present embodiment constitute “pocket forming means”.

  On the downstream side of the heating device 21 and the molding device 22, a charging device 30 for storing the tablet 5 in the packaging film 3 is disposed. As a result, the packaging film 3 in which the pocket portions 2 are formed is conveyed, and when the pocket portion 2 comes below the input device 30, the tablet 5 is automatically inserted into the pocket portions 2 by the input device 30. The tablet 5 is put in each pocket portion 2. Here, the loading device 30 in the present embodiment constitutes “tablet loading means”. The loading device 30 corresponds to a “tablet loading device”.

  After the tablets 5 are accommodated by the input device 30, an inspection is performed to find out whether or not the tablets 5 are present in the respective pocket portions 2, defects of the accommodated tablets 5, contamination of foreign matters, and the like. The inspection is performed by an inspection apparatus including a CCD camera 71, an illumination device 72, and the like.

  Further, an aluminum cover film 4 is fed through tension rollers 14 and 15 onto the packaging film 3 in which the tablets 5 are accommodated in the respective pocket portions 2. Then, the packaging film 3 and the cover film 4 are fixed by a pair of seal rollers 16A and 16B. Thereby, the PTP film 18 filled with the tablets 5 is manufactured. The PTP film 18 is conveyed to the downstream side by the film feed roller 17, and after the horizontal slit 6 is formed, it is punched into a sheet (see FIG. 1 (a)) by a punching device (not shown). The punched PTP sheet 1 is then sequentially sent to a defective sheet discharge mechanism, a PTP sheet stacking mechanism, and the like (not shown).

  Since the present embodiment is mainly characterized by the charging device 30, the configuration of the charging device 30 will be described next.

  FIG. 3 is a side view schematically showing a schematic configuration of the charging device 30 in the present embodiment. 4A is a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. 3, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along line YY in FIG.

  The charging device 30 includes a base (not shown), and a shooter 40 is provided on the base. The shooter 40 is for putting the tablet 5 into the pocket portion 2 by utilizing natural fall due to gravity. The shooter 40 includes a rear wall 41 that forms the rear part and the side part, and a front wall 42 that forms the front part. The rear wall 41 and the front wall 42 form a passage 43 through which the tablet 5 passes inside the shooter 40. A plurality of the passages 43 are formed in the film width direction (vertical direction in FIG. 4A) so that two tablets 5 can be supplied to each pocket portion 2. Further, the passage 43 is configured such that the tablets 5 can be stacked in a vertical direction in a vertical row, and the thickness direction of the tablets 5 coincides with the film width direction.

  A guide 50 extending downstream in the film transport direction is provided at the lower end of the front wall 42 forming the shooter 40. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a guide groove 53 is formed on the lower surface of the guide 50. The guide groove 53 has a shape that spreads outward toward the downstream side in the film transport direction. Moreover, the groove width of the guide groove 53 is gradually increased toward the downstream side in the film conveyance direction. For example, in FIG. 4A, the groove width of the guide groove 53 increases in the order of W1, W2, and W3.

  The guide groove 53 is formed by an inner guide portion 51 and an outer guide portion 52 that protrude downward from the lower portion of the guide 50. The inner side guide part 51 is formed in the center part in the film width direction, and becomes wider (thick) as it goes downstream. On the other hand, the outer guide part 52 is formed on both sides in the film width direction, and becomes narrower (thin) as it goes to the downstream side corresponding to the inner guide part 51.

  Next, how the tablet 5 is loaded into the pocket portion 2 of the packaging film 3 by the loading device 30 and then stored in the guide 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A is a cross-sectional end view taken along the line AA in FIG. 5C, and FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional end view taken along the line BB in FIG. 6A. ) Is a cross-sectional end view taken along the line CC of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the tablet 5 is not supplied from the shooter 40 unless the pocket portion 2 is at the corresponding position below the shooter 40. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when the pocket portion 2 comes to the corresponding position below the shooter 40, the tablet 5 positioned at the bottom of the shooter 40 stands up with respect to the pocket portion 2 of the packaging film 3. It is thrown into the pocket part 2 in a state. In this state, the thickness direction of the tablet 5 is substantially parallel to the film width direction.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), when the pocket portion 2 moves downstream as the packaging film 3 is conveyed, the upper half of the tablet 5 is accommodated in the guide groove 53 in the upright state. It will be in the state. In this state, as shown in FIG. 7A, each tablet 5 is in an upright state so as to sandwich the partition portion 7 of the pocket portion 2. The groove width of the guide groove 53 at this time is substantially the same as the thickness of the tablet 5.

  Subsequently, when the tablet 5 is further conveyed downstream by the movement of the pocket portion 2 accompanying the conveyance of the packaging film 3, each tablet 5 is inclined outward. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A, each tablet 5 starts to tilt around the center position of the guide 50, and at a position near the downstream end of the guide 50 as shown in FIG. Each tablet 5 is largely inclined in the outward direction. As can be seen from FIG. 7B and FIG. 7C, the inner guide portion 51 becomes wider as it goes downstream, and the tablet 5 moves outward from the contact portion with the inner guide portion 51. This is to receive a force in the direction. Further, this is because the groove width of the guide groove 53 becomes wider toward the downstream side in the film conveying direction so as to allow the tablet 5 to be inclined. At this time, the tablet 5 is supported from the outside by the outer guide portion 52 so as not to fall down due to unintended factors such as vibration. Moreover, since the partition part 7 is formed in the center part of the pocket part 2 as mentioned above, the lower part of the tablet 5 may slip into the inside (that is, the accommodating part side of the tablet 5 to be paired) and fall down. Absent.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the tablets 5 are transported to the position where they are removed from the guides 50, the tablets 5 are completely tilted outward and stored in the pocket portions 2.

  5 and 6, one pocket portion 2 is illustrated for ease of explanation, but the pocket portions 2 are provided on the packaging film 3 at intervals shown in FIG. 3, for example.

  As described above in detail, in the present embodiment, each tablet 5 is initially put into the pocket portion 2 in an upright state, and thereafter, each tablet 5 is tilted outward in the film width direction and accommodated in the pocket portion 2. The Specifically, the inner guide portion 51 provided in the guide 50 is interposed between the tablets 5 and comes into contact with the upper position of the tablet 5 from the inner side. Since the inner guide portion 51 becomes wider toward the downstream side, each tablet 5 is gradually inclined outward. And if the tablet 5 is conveyed to the position remove | deviated from the guide 50, each tablet 5 will be completely fall | folded in an outer side direction and will be accommodated in the pocket part 2. FIG. Thereby, the overlap of the tablet 5 in the pocket part 2 can be suppressed. As a result, an appropriate tablet can be stored in the pocket portion 2.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the tablet 5 used as a pair is inclined substantially similarly by the inner side guide part 51. FIG. Further, the tablet 5 inclined by the inner guide part 51 is supported from the outer side by the outer guide part 52. Thereby, one tablet 5 does not fall down first. As a result, the overlapping of the tablets 5 in the pocket portion 2 can be reliably suppressed.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the partition part 7 that protrudes toward the accommodation space is provided at the central part of the pocket part 2, the lower part of the tablet 5 that is inclined outward is located on the inner side (adjacent accommodation area side). Can be prevented from slipping into. Thereby, in combination with the action of the outer guide portion 52, it is possible to reliably suppress the one tablet 5 from falling first, and as a result, the overlap of the tablets 5 in the pocket portion 2 is reliably suppressed. can do.

  Although one embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various embodiments can be implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  On the other hand, for example, the present invention can be applied to a pocket portion 2a that can accommodate four tablets 5a as shown in FIG. In this case, a shooter 40a as shown in FIG. The shooter 40a has two passages 43a and 43b through which the tablet 5a passes. At the lowermost part, the partition between the two passages 43a and 43b is eliminated, and two tablets 5a are arranged side by side in the film transport direction. Supply is possible. When such a shooter 40a is used, four tablets 5a (two tablets in the film conveying direction and two tablets in the film width direction) can be put into the pocket portion 2a in an upright state. Thereby, the structure of the guide 50 is left as it is, and the tablet 5a can be accommodated in the pocket portion 2a shown in FIG.

  (B) In the said embodiment, although the guide 50 was a structure provided with the outer side guide part 52, it is good also as a structure provided only with the inner side guide part 51 from a viewpoint of falling the tablet 5 outside. Similarly, although the partition part 7 is formed in the center part of the pocket part 2, the partition part 7 can also be abbreviate | omitted.

  (C) The cross-sectional shape of the guide 50 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 7, and may be a cross-sectional shape that matches the inclination of the tablet 5. For example, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the corner portion of the inner guide portion 51 is in contact with the tablet 5, but the side surface of the inner guide portion 51 is also inclined according to the inclination of the tablet 5, You may make it contact | abut with respect to the tablet 5 by a surface.
