Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a recovery machine that recovers items stored in press-through packs.

□. As is well known, this is a packaging method in which a large number of convex portions are formed on a thin synthetic resin plate, items such as tablets and capsules are stored in these, and then metal foil such as aluminum foil is adhered to seal the items. Containers, so-called press-through packs, are often used especially for packaging drugs.

However, in the manufacturing process of this press-through pack, there are cases where items are not stored in the convex part or the adhesion between the synthetic resin plate and metal foil is insufficient, resulting in defective products. obtain.

Conventional equipment for recovering stored items from defective press-through packs consisted of a drive roller with multiple brim formations and a roller with a uniform surface. However, in cases where it is an important item such as a capsule, taking it out of the pack may not go smoothly, and some of the stored items may remain in the pack, causing the stored items to overlap with the empty ones. It has the disadvantage that it is difficult to completely separate it from the pack.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and is a press-through pack collection machine that can reliably take out stored items regardless of their thickness and completely separate stored items from empty packs. The purpose is to provide.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings.

The collecting machine 1 of this invention has drive rollers 2. Convex roller 3. It is composed of a pack guide 5 provided above a valley 4 formed by the two rollers 2 and 3 adjacent to each other, and a wire guide 6 and chute 7 provided below the valley.

A proper number of ribs 9 are formed at equal intervals on the main body 8 of the drive roller 2 driven by an external power source, and notches 10 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the ribs 9.

Further, since the gear 12 provided on the rotating shaft 11 of the drive roller 2 meshes with the gear 14 provided on the shaft 13 of the convex roller 3, the convex roller 3 rotates at the same speed as the drive roller 2 and in the opposite direction.

An appropriate number of convex portions 16 are formed at equal intervals around the main body 15 of the convex roller 3.

The convex portion 16 is located between the two flanges 9 and adjacent to each other so that the outer periphery of the convex portion 16 bites slightly inward from the outer periphery of the collar 9.

A wire guide 6 made of a plurality of thin wires 17 is provided below the valley 4 where the two rollers 2 and 3 are formed adjacent to each other in this way, and a chute 7 is provided further below the guide 6. It is being

Note that the thin wire rod 17 of the wire rod guide 6 is arranged so as to be located below the collar 9 of the drive roller 2.

In addition, the pack guide 5 disposed above the valley 4 is formed with peaks 18 and grooves 19 so as to correspond to the storage intervals of the stored items B stored in the pack A. The convex part of the resin plate C enters the valley 4 while being guided by the travel guide 19, but the convex part faces the direction of the convex roller 3 and is guided so as to hit the convex part 16, and the flat part E of the pack A The metal foil F constituting the drive roller 2 is guided so as to face toward the drive roller 2.

Further, the pack guide 5 has an opening 20 in the upper center thereof, so that the pack A can be easily inserted.

Next, the operation of this device with the above configuration will be explained. First, when pack A is inserted from above the pack guide 5 with the convex portion of the pack A facing toward the convex roller 3, the pack A is inserted into the top of the guide 5. It enters the valley 4 between the two rollers 2 and 3 while being guided by the rollers 18 and grooves 19.

The flat portion E of the pack A is the main body 15 of the convex roller 3.
and the collar 9 of the drive roller 2, and gradually moves downward as the two rollers 2 and 3 rotate.

The notches 10 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the collar 9 prevent slippage at this time.

Also, since the convex part of the pack A hits the convex part 16 of the convex roller 3, the stored item B inside it is pushed by the convex part 16, breaks the metal foil F, and falls between the brim 9. Extruded.

The wire then falls, passes between the thin wire rods 17 of the wire rod guide 6, and falls onto the chute 7.

On the other hand, pack A is empty and torn after storage item B has been pushed out.
The wire also moves downward with the rotation of the two rollers 2 and 3, but is prevented from falling by the wire guide 6 and guided diagonally downward by the guide 6.

In this way, the stored items B and the empty packs A are separated and stored in respective storage boxes provided diagonally below the wire rod guide 6 and the chute 7.

As is clear from the above explanation, this idea simply
Because the structure not only crushes the convex portion of the pack A, but also pushes out the stored item B by the convex portion 16 of the convex roller 3, even if the stored item B is thick like a capsule, It is possible to break the metal foil F and completely extrude it from the convex portion to take it out.

Furthermore, if the diameter of the collar 9 formed on the main body 8 of the drive roller 2 is increased, the extruded stored object B will not hit the main body 8 and bounce, so that it can be reliably passed through the gap of the thin wire material 17. can.
