Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drug dispenser for dispensing, which divides a drug such as a powdered medicine to prescribe it to a patient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a powdered medicine is not formed as a unit of each tablet like a tablet or a capsule. Therefore, for example, when a patient takes one prescription of a powdered medicine three times a day for 14 days, Prepare a prescribed amount of powder and put it in 4
It is practiced to divide into two equal parts and package each one.

As a device for dividing powder in this way, conventionally, a prescription is used by using a vibrating feeder while rotating a turntable in which an annular groove is rotated around its axis at a constant speed. Portion of the powdered medicine is evenly distributed along the concave groove, and then the turntable is intermittently rotated while the turntable is intermittently rotated using a cutting device that cuts out the powdered medicine from the concave groove of the turntable by a predetermined angle. A powder medicine dividing machine has been proposed which cuts out the powder medicine of each angle according to the number of divisions.

Further, as a powder medicine dividing machine, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-43282 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-14082, instead of the above-mentioned turntable,
Use a ring-shaped divided cell body that is formed by arranging a large number of independent cells in an annular shape. After distributing the powder to each cell, open the bottom plate of each cell one by one to take out the distributed powder. Some have been done.

[0005]

However, among the conventional powder dividers using a turntable having an annular groove, the conventional powder divider has a concave groove regardless of whether the amount of powder for one prescription is large or small. Since powder must be distributed over the entire circumference, it is necessary to have a circumference that can handle a considerably large amount within a practically acceptable range. Therefore, when dealing with smaller quantities with different digits, since most of the circumference is essentially unnecessary, a considerable division error will inevitably occur, and in extreme cases,
There are even things that can hardly cut out powdered medicine.

On the other hand, among the conventional powdered medicine dividers, the one using an annular divided box body, for example, an annular divided box body having 42 boxes is used as an example.
In the case of dividing, the powder for one prescription is divided into 42 using all the squares while rotating the ring for division, and when the powder for one prescription is divided into 21 for example, the ring for division is divided. While reciprocating each half turn,
Divide the prescription powder into 21 parts. In this way, instead of always using all the cells of the annular dividing cell, only the number of cells corresponding to the required number of divisions are used, so even if the amount of powdered medicine to be handled is considerably small, There is nothing that cannot be divided.

[0007] However, the conventional annular division unit body is integrally manufactured for the entire circumference by mechanical processing using, for example, a metal material, except for the movable portion such as the bottom plate of each unit. Therefore, there are problems that it takes a lot of time to manufacture the annular divided cell body and that it is difficult to manufacture it accurately.

Even if a lightweight material such as aluminum is used as the metal material, the inertia of the ring-shaped divided cell body is large especially when it is reciprocally rotated, so that the accuracy of controlling the operation of the ring-shaped divided cell body is difficult. Therefore, there is a problem that a division error is unavoidable.

[0009] Further, there is a problem that it is difficult to find a slight adhesion of the residual drug, for example, since the conventional annular division unit made of aluminum is not colored.

Further, in the case of the conventional annular division unit, when the specifications such as the volume and the number of the units are changed, it is necessary to replace the entire annular division unit, which makes it difficult to change the specifications. was there.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to make it possible to accurately and easily manufacture an annular division unit, and to easily reduce the weight and color of the annular division unit. Another object of the present invention is to provide a drug divider for dispensing, which enables the change of specifications.

Next, the powder medicine dividing machine 10 according to the present embodiment.
The operation of the powder medicine packaging machine 1 including the above will be described.

1 using all the cells of the annular division cell 12
When dividing the prescribed amount of powdered medicine, while rotating the annular divided container 12 in one direction by the motor 13, each container of the annular divided container 12 from the powdered medicine feeding device 3, that is, the container part 2
The powdered medicine is fed into the second box portion 22a. As a result, one prescription powder is distributed to all the cells of the ring-shaped dividing cell 12,
Divided.

Using a part of the cells of the annular dividing cell body 12
When dividing the prescribed amount of powdered medicine, the powdered medicine feeder 3 supplies the powdered medicine to each of the cells of the annular divided container 12 while reciprocally rotating the annular divided container 12 by an angle corresponding to the number of the used boxes. To send. In this case, the control device 7 controls the motor 13 according to the rotation angle of the ring-shaped divided box body 12 detected by the rotation position detection device 14. As a result, one prescription powder is distributed and divided into the boxes used by the annular divided box body 12.

During the operation of dividing the powder as described above, the swing rod 25 is at the lower position, and the box portion 22a of the box component 22 is located immediately below the box partition portion 21a of the box partition component 21. It is arranged. When the powdered medicine is divided as described above, the control device 7 intermittently rotates the ring-shaped divided cells 12 by one box, and while the ring-shaped divided cells 12 are stopped,
The rocking rod 25 is rocked upward, and the powdered medicine distributed in the box portion 22a is put into the hopper 6. Under the control of the control device 7, the packaging device 5 divides the powdered medicine put into the hopper 6 into individual packages.

In the powder medicine dividing machine 10 according to the present embodiment,
The ring-shaped divided cell body 12 is formed by combining a plurality of cell division parts 21 and a plurality of cell parts 22 which are a plurality of replaceable components corresponding to a part of the ring-shaped cell division 12 in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the component parts of the ring-shaped divided cell body 12 have a smaller and simpler structure than the whole ring-shaped divided cell body 12, so that each of the component parts can be manufactured accurately and easily. It is possible to accurately and easily manufacture the box body 12. In particular, in the present embodiment,
Since the component parts of the annular divided container 12 are manufactured by molding using, for example, resin, each component part can be manufactured more accurately and easily.

Also, by forming the components of the annular divided container 12 by molding using resin, the entire annular divided container 12 can be made extremely lightweight. Thereby, for example, even when the annular division container 12 is reciprocally rotated, the inertia is small, the control accuracy of the operation of the annular division container 12 is high, and as a result, the division error can be minimized. .

Further, as the resin forming the components of the ring-shaped divided container 12, by selecting a material suitable for preventing the adhesion of the powder and preventing the electrification, it is possible to easily prevent the adhesion of the powder and the electrification. This makes it possible to easily clean the ring-shaped divisional cell body 12. Further, by selecting an antibacterial material as the resin forming the component parts of the annular divided container 12, it becomes possible to easily carry out the antibacterial treatment. In this case, when the antibacterial paint is applied, the problem that the antibacterial paint is peeled off during the cleaning work does not occur. Also,
By selecting a material that is pre-colored or is suitable for coloring as the resin forming the components of the ring-shaped divided cells 12, it is possible to easily carry out the coloring of the ring-shaped divided cells 12, By coloring 12 it is possible to implement a practical device that makes it easy to find even a slight amount of residual drug, for example. In addition, the ring-shaped dividing cell 12
By changing the material forming the component depending on the component, it is possible to impart appropriate properties such as antibacterial properties to the portion of the annular divided container 12.

As a material suitable for preventing the adhesion of the powdered medicine and preventing the electrostatic charge, there is, for example, a material obtained by adding an antistatic material to a resin. As the antibacterial material, for example,
Some include antibacterial materials added to resins. As an example of a material having antibacterial properties and antistatic properties, methacrylic resin molding material Acrypet (trade name of Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.) is used as a base material, and antibacterial material Zeomic (Sinane Zeomic's Trade name), polymer processing aid Dynamer (trademark of 3M Company, USA) and antistatic material Electrostripper (trademark of Kao Corporation) or rubbing BS-2 (trademark of Kao Corporation) are used as a base material and sub-material. There is a mixture with wood.

Further, the powder medicine divider 10 according to the present embodiment.
In this case, since the portions on both end sides in the circumferential direction of the cell partition component 21 are formed so as to partition one cell when connected to another cell partition component 21, the portions on both end sides in the circumferential direction are formed. The number of side walls can be reduced as compared with the case where side walls for partitioning the cells are provided, the structure of the cell partitioning component 21 is simplified, and the cell partitioning component 21 can be manufactured more accurately and easily. Become. Also, when providing side walls for partitioning the box at the end portions on the circumferential direction, the thickness of the side walls on both ends must be half the thickness of the inner side wall.
Although a portion having a small thickness and a small strength is generated, the box partitioning component 21 in the present embodiment does not have such a portion having a small thickness and a small strength, and the strength is improved.

Although FIG. 6 shows the 42-piece ring-shaped divided cell body 12 capable of 42 packages for two weeks, the number of cells of the ring-shaped division cell body 12 is not limited to this, and for example, 1 Weekly 21
21 boxes that can be packaged, 84 boxes that can be packaged for 84 weeks, 84 boxes that can be packaged for 10 days, 30 boxes that can be packaged for 30 days, 15
For example, 45-measles that enables 45-day packages for 90 days and 90-measles that allows 90-minute packages for 30 days may be used. In any case, it suffices to fabricate the component parts so that the volume and the number of the desired cells are made, and combine the component parts.

As described above, according to the powder medicine dividing machine 10 of the present embodiment, the ring shape is adjusted so that the desired volume and number of the cells can be obtained according to the amount of the medicine to be divided, the required number of packages, and the like. The divided cell body 12 can be formed. Further, by replacing the components of the annular divided container 12, the specifications such as the volume and number of the containers can be easily changed.

Further, the powder medicine divider 10 according to the present embodiment.
In this case, since the ring-shaped divided container 12 is formed by combining the replaceable constituent parts, namely, the compartment dividing part 21 and the measure part 22, if, for example, one or a plurality of constituent parts are damaged, the damage is caused. It is possible to replace only the constituent parts that have been repaired, which is easy to repair and economical.
