The moving frame 120 is linearly moved horizontally from the state inserted into the fixed frame 110 and is supported by the fixed frame 110 to be drawn out of the drug packaging device 10. For example, the moving frame 120 may be supported by the fixed frame 110 to be drawn out to the front of the drug packaging device 10.

The moving frame 120 may be guided to be horizontally linearly moved by the linear guide with respect to the fixed frame 110. For example, the linear guide may include a pair of fixed rail parts 111 formed on the fixed frame 110 and moving rail parts 121 formed on the moving frame 120. The fixed rail 111 and the moving rail 121 are formed to guide linear movement of the moving frame 120 in a coupled state. The fixing frame 110 may be provided with guide rollers that abut against each lower portion of the moving rails 121 to smoothly move the moving frame 120.

In the dispensing tray 130, tablet dispensing holes 131 are formed to receive and receive the tablets one by one. The tablet distribution holes 131 are horizontally arranged in at least one row. The tablet distribution holes 131 are arranged at regular intervals along the column direction. When the moving frame 120 is withdrawn from the fixed frame 110, the dispensing tray 130 is withdrawn to the outside of the drug packaging device 10 together with the moving frame 120. In this state, since the tablet dispensing holes 131 of the dispensing tray 130 are exposed to the outside, the pharmaceutical preparation may dispense the tablets into the tablet dispensing holes 131 exposed to the outside.

Each tablet distribution hole 131 may be provided with a storage detecting unit for detecting whether or not tablets, and a display unit for displaying whether or not tablets may be provided. The storage detector may be configured as an optical sensor. The display unit may be made of an LED or the like. The information sensed by the accommodation detector may be provided to a controller that controls the entire apparatus. If it is determined that the tablet is stored in the tablet distribution hole 131 based on the information detected by the accommodation detector, the controller may display that the tablet is in a storage state. For example, the controller may turn on the LED or turn on the LED of the color set as the storage display.

The distribution tray 130 is fixed to the moving frame 120. The moving frame 120 may have a top and bottom structure to allow tablets to fall from the tablet distribution holes 131 when the tablet distribution holes 131 are opened. In addition, the moving frame 120 may be formed to support the front part and both side parts of the distribution tray 130 based on the withdrawal direction.

The shutter 140 simultaneously opens and closes the tablet distribution holes 131 at the lower side of the distribution tray 130. Accordingly, tablets respectively accommodated in the tablet distribution holes 131 may be supplied to the tablet storage holes 151 of the tablet storage 150 while the lower portions of the tablet distribution holes 131 are simultaneously opened.

The tablet storage 150 is fixed to the fixed frame 110. Tablet storage holes (151) are arranged in the tablet storage (150). The tablet storage holes 151 are arranged in the same form as the tablet distribution holes 131 so that the tablet storage holes 151 may correspond one-to-one with the tablet distribution holes 131 while the moving frame 120 is inserted into the fixed frame 110. Therefore, when each lower portion of the tablet distribution holes 131 is opened, the tablet storage holes 151 may receive tablets discharged from the tablet distribution holes 131. The fixed frame 110 may be formed to have a discharge passage through which tablets may fall from the tablet storage holes 151 and be discharged to the hopper 12 when the tablet storage holes 151 are opened.

Doors 152 are respectively installed in the tablet storage holes 151. The doors 152 are hinged by hinge axes to respective lower openings of the tablet storage holes 151. Each of the doors 152 may be hinged around each lower opening of the tablet storage hole 151. The doors 152 open and close the tablet storage holes 151 as the pivot moves about each hinge axis. When the tablet storage holes 151 are arranged in a row in the left and right directions, the doors 152 are coupled to the tablet storage holes 151 so as to pivot about a hinge axis arranged horizontally in the front and rear directions. The doors 152 are positioned to open the tablet storage holes 151 by their own weight without being subjected to an external force.

The doors 152 may be made of a metal material. In this case, the tablet storage 150 may be made of a material such as silicon, such that noise may be minimized when the doors 152 collide with the tablet storage 150 while being closed.

The sprockets 171 are arranged in the outer direction than the tablet storage holes 151 located at both ends in the column direction. The chain 172 is engaged with the sprockets 171 and mounts the pushing rollers 160. It is also possible for the belt to be used instead of the chain 172. The pushing rollers 160 may be rotatably supported by the chain 172, respectively.

The rotation driver 173 rotationally drives one of the sprockets 171. The rotary driver 173 may include a rotary motor 173a, a drive gear 173b, and a driven gear 173c. The rotary motor 173a has a drive shaft coupled to the drive gear 173b. The driven gear 173c meshes with the drive gear 173b and is fixed to the rotation center of the sprocket 171. Therefore, the sprocket 171 can drive rotation by the rotation drive force of the rotation motor 173a. As the sprocket 171 rotates, the chain 172 moves in the caterpillar type. Therefore, the pushing rollers 160 may be transported in the caterpillar type.

The rotation driver 173 may include a roller detector (not shown) that detects a position of at least one of the pushing rollers 160. The information detected from the roller detector may be provided to the controller. The controller may sequentially open the tablet storage holes 151 by transferring the pushing rollers 160 by one pitch based on the information provided from the roller detector.

For example, the tablet distribution holes 131 may be arranged in three rows. Typically, the maximum number of tablets taken per day is three times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the first row of tablet distribution holes 131, the morning dose tablets are distributed and received in one dose, and in the second row of tablet distribution holes 131, the lunch tablets are distributed and stored in one dose amount, In the third row of tablet distribution holes 131, evening tablets may be dispensed and received by one dose.

The tablet storage holes 151 are arranged in three rows like the tablet distribution holes 131. In addition, the pushing roller transfer unit 170 is provided in three and disposed to correspond to each row of the tablet storage holes 151. The three pushing roller transfer units 170 may be controlled independently of each other. That is, the rotary motors 173a of the pushing roller transfer units 170 may be independently controlled by the controller. Accordingly, the tablet storage holes 151 can be opened independently of each other, and sequentially opened one by one.

Therefore, various preparation methods can be applied. For example, if the tablets are generally prescribed for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the pharmacist dispenses the morning tablets in the first row of tablet distribution holes 131 and takes the lunch in the second row of tablet distribution holes 131. Dispensing tablets, and dispensing tablets for the evening dose to the tablet dispensing holes 131 of the third row. Then, the dispenser operates the tablet dispenser 100 as follows.

Thereafter, the three pushing roller transfer units 170 are driven independently of each other, so that the tablet storage holes 151 of the first row are opened in the first column, the second column, and the third column in order to supply tablets to the packaging unit. The tablet storage holes 151 of the following rows are sequentially opened in the same manner and supplied to the packaging portion.

If the tablets are prescribed to be taken only twice, such as morning and evening, the pharmacist dispenses the morning-use tablets in one row of tablet distribution holes 131 and the other in the row of tablet distribution holes 131. Dispense morning tablets. Subsequently, the medicine manufacturer operates the tablet dispenser 100 to independently separate the two pushing roller transfer units 170 corresponding to the two rows of the tablet storage holes 151 supplied from the tablet distribution holes 131. By driving, tablets can be fed to the packaging.

If the same kind of tablets are prescribed for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or only once a day, the pharmacist dispenses the tablets in at least one row of tablet distribution holes 131. Subsequently, the pharmaceutical manufacturer operates the tablet dispenser 100 to drive only one pushing roller transfer unit 170 corresponding to one row of tablet storage holes 151 supplied from the tablet distribution holes 131. Tablets may be fed to the packaging. In addition, tablets may be supplied to the packaging in various ways.

Meanwhile, the tablet distribution holes 131 and the tablet storage holes 151 may be formed in two rows or four rows or more, and the pushing roller transfer unit 170 may be disposed to correspond to each row of the tablet storage holes 151 and may be independent of each other.
