Description

{STATIC ELIMINATOR FOR COUNTING MACHINE}

The present invention relates to a static electricity removal device for a counter provided in a counter to prevent static electricity.

In general, a tablet is a powdered medicine compressed into a small disc shape to make it easier to take. Tablets have accurate dosage, are convenient to take, carry, and store, and are also suitable for mass production. Tablets are usually manufactured by forming the medicine as is or by adding excipients, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, etc. into granules and pressing them into a compressor. Tablets formed by the compressor are placed in a counter for packaging. A counter is a device that counts packaging materials such as tablets or capsules in a set quantity and puts them into bottles. Packaging items put into the counter are counted by a counter sensor, and a set quantity is dropped and piled on the closed shutter. When the bottle for packaging the packaging object arrives at the designated location, the shutter opens and the packaging object is put into the bottle.

However, in the conventional counter, as the packaging object falls along the passage, static electricity is generated due to friction with the inner wall of the passage, and as a result, the packaging object does not fall into the bottle, but sticks to the wall of the passage and does not fall down, or falls slowly and falls into the bottle. Problems arose with light or excessive packaging.

In response to this, the present invention seeks to propose a mechanism that can prevent static electricity by minimizing the friction surface of the packaging object.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. First, when adding reference signs to components in each drawing, it should be noted that the same components are given the same reference numerals as much as possible even if they are shown in different drawings. In addition, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but the technical idea of the present invention is not limited or limited thereto and of course can be modified and implemented in various ways by those skilled in the art.

In a conventional counter, as the packaging object falls along the passage, static electricity is generated due to friction with the inner wall of the passage, and as a result, the packaging object does not fall into the bottle, but sticks to the wall of the passage and does not fall down, or falls slowly and weighs less on the bottle. Or, a problem of excessive packaging occurred. In response to this, the present invention seeks to propose a mechanism that can prevent static electricity by minimizing the friction surface of the packaging object.

Figure 1 is a diagram showing a state of coupling to a guide passage according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a perspective view according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The static electricity removal device for a counter according to the present invention has a structure that can minimize static electricity in the inner lower part of the guide passage 10 into which the packaging object is inserted. The packaging object may be a tablet (1) or a capsule (2). In the present invention, a partition wall (10a) is provided at the inner center of the guide passage (10) and is provided on both left and right passages centered on the partition wall (10a).

Specifically, a shutter 4 is provided at the upper part of the guide passage 10. The packaging object put into the counter is counted by a counter sensor (not shown) as it falls on the shutter 4. Since the outlet leading to the guide passage 10 is blocked when the shutter 4 is closed, packaging objects are piled up on the shutter 4.

When the packaging container (3), such as a bottle, is located exactly in the designated position of the counter, the shutter (4) opens. As the shutter 4 opens, the packaging objects piled up on the shutter 4 fall into the guide passage 10. The packaging object is packaged by falling into the packaging container (3) through the guide passage (10) and the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a plan view according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 4.

The present design is formed in the form of a passage that can safely guide the packaging object to the packaging container (3). It is detachable from the guide passage (10). As an example, the inside of the guide passage 10 is formed in a structure where the lower width is narrower than the upper width. This design is formed in a structure where the lower width is narrower than the upper width to fit the guide passage (10). The present invention is combined by inserting the present invention into the guide passage 10. Due to the guide passage 10 having a lower width narrower than the upper width and the structural characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be easily coupled to the guide passage 10 without a special fixing device.

When the present invention is inserted into the guide passage 10, one outer side 23 of the present invention is in close contact with the inner wall of the guide passage 10, and the other outer side 24 of the present invention is attached to the partition wall 10a. They are in close contact (see Figure 1). The outer side (23) of the present invention consists of an inclined surface facing the packaging container (3). The end of one outer side 23 of the present invention is located below the end of the other outer side 24 of the present invention.

This design serves to guide the packaging object so that it can safely fall into the packaging container (3). There are no restrictions on the shape of the inner wall surface 21. The inner wall surface 21 may be composed of a plurality of wall surfaces.

As an example, the inner wall surface 21 may be composed of four walls, front, rear, left and right. The front and rear inner wall surfaces 21 facing each other may be formed with the same inclined surface.

The inner wall surface 21, which is composed of a plurality of walls, is preferably formed as an inclined surface so that the falling time of the packaging object when the shutter 4 is opened is constant.

To this end, the upper surfaces of the left and right inner walls facing each other in the present invention may be formed with a first inclined surface 21a and a second inclined surface 21b at different angles. For example, the second inclined surface 21b may be formed as a steeper inclined surface than the first inclined surface 21a. In addition, the upper surface (20a) of the present invention is horizontal, and the lower surface (20b) of the present invention may be formed as an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the first inclined surface (21a).

In the present invention, an uneven surface (22) is provided at the lower part of the inner wall surface (21). The uneven surface 22 can prevent packaging objects from sticking to the inner wall surface 21 of the present invention due to static electricity. The uneven surface 20 is provided along the lower circumference of the inner wall surface 21. The uneven surface 20 extends from the lower part of the inner wall surface 21 to the bottom end. The uneven surface 20 may occupy approximately half or more of the height of the present invention.

The uneven surface 22 includes a concave portion 22a and a convex portion 22b. The recessed portions 22a may be arranged in plural numbers along the inner wall surface 21. The recessed portion 22a has a recessed shape and is formed concavely on the inner wall surface 21 of the present invention. There are no restrictions on the shape of the lumbar portion 22a. For example, the recessed portion 22a may have a semicircular shape.

The convex portion 22b is located between the concave portions 22a. The horizontal width of the convex portion 22b is formed to be narrower than the horizontal width of the concave portion 22a so as to minimize the contact area with the packaging object. The iron portion 22b is connected to the inner wall surface 21.

The recessed portion 22a and the convex portion 22b are preferably formed in a structure in which the vertical width is longer than the horizontal width to minimize the contact area with the packaging object.

Since the cause of static electricity is friction, the generation of static electricity can be prevented by minimizing the contact area with packaging objects such as tablets or capsules through the uneven surface.

As shown in FIG. 2, the horizontal width L1 of the recessed portion 22a is preferably formed to a width applicable to all general tablets 1 in consideration of the size of the tablet 1. For the effect of removing static electricity, the minimum horizontal width (L1) of the low portion (22a) is about 2 mm, and the maximum horizontal width (L1) of the low portion (22a) may vary depending on the size of the tablet (1).

As an example, the range considering the size of the general tablet 1 and capsule 2 is usually about 2 mm to about 3 mm, so the horizontal width L1 of the back portion 22a is about 2 mm to about 3 mm, or about 2.5 mm. It is desirable. If the horizontal width L1 of the recessed portion 22a is too small, the effect of removing static electricity is small, and if the horizontal width L1 of the recessed portion 22a is too large, the tablet 1 enters the depressed recessed portion 22a to remove static electricity. The effect may be lost.

If the horizontal width L2 of the iron portion 22b is too small and sharp, the tablet 1 may fall and scratch the surface. If the horizontal width L2 of the iron portion 22b is too large, the effect of removing static electricity is small. As an example, considering the size of a general tablet 1 or capsule 2, the horizontal width L2 of the iron portion 22b is preferably about 0.5 mm to about 1 mm.

As shown in Figure 2, the recessed portion 22a is a place where the contact area is reduced to minimize the generation of static electricity. If the height of the recessed portion 22a is too low, the tablets 1 collected to be placed in the packaging container 3 will be piled higher than the corresponding area, which may cause the static electricity removal device 20 for the counter to lose its function. there is. If the height of the recessed portion 22a is too high, the range of the inclined inner wall provided at the inner upper part of the static electricity removal device 20 for the counter cannot be secured, and an error in the quantity counter of the tablet 1 or capsule 2 may occur. . It varies depending on the filling amount of the tablet (1) or capsule (2) in the packaging container (3), but considering the size and filling amount of the general tablet (1) and capsule (2), the left side of the static electricity removal device (20) for the counter in Figure 2 The height (H1) of one side of the recessed portion 22a is preferably about 25 mm to about 36 mm, and the height (H2) of the other side of the recessed portion 22a on the right side of the static electricity removal device 20 for a counter is preferably about 15 mm to about 25 mm. . As an example, the height of the recessed portion 22a may be about 32 mm or about 22 mm.

As shown in FIG. 3, the end of the upper surface 20a of the static electricity removal device 20 for a counter must coincide with the surface of the guide passage 10 without any protrusion. Specifically, when the static electricity removal device 20 for a counter is coupled to the guide passage 10, a jaw is formed on the end of the upper surface 20a and the surface of the guide passage 10, and when the tablet 1 or capsule 2 falls. It may hit the chin, bounce, rise, and then fall. This may delay the dropping time of the tablet (1) or capsule (2) and cause an error in the quantity counter of the tablet (1) or capsule (2).

The wall of the counter static electricity removal device 20 is designed to have a certain downward angle so that the end of the upper surface 20a of the counter static electricity removal device 20 coincides with the surface of the guide passage 10 without any protrusion. As an example, the angle A1 of the thickness of the inner wall on one side of the static electricity removal device 20 for a counter facing the guide passage 10 is about 9 degrees, and the angle A1 of the thickness of the inner wall surface on the other side of the static electricity removal device 20 for a counter facing the partition 10a is about 9 degrees. The angle A2 of the inner wall thickness may be about 10 degrees. As another example, the angle of the inner wall thickness of the static electricity removal device 20 for a counter may be about 6 degrees to about 10 degrees. If the inclination angle of the wall of the static electricity removal device 20 for a counter is too large, the tablets 1 or capsules 2 may bounce off the wall, causing an error in the counter quantity.

The following explains the quantitative packaging process of the packaging object.

Referring to FIG. 1, when a packaging object such as a tablet (1) or capsule (2) is put into the counter, the counter sensor (not shown) counters the packaging object, and a set amount is displayed on the closed shutter (4). Packaging items pile up.

In this state, when the packaging container is located exactly at the designated position of the counter, the shutter (4) opens. As the shutter 4 opens, the packaging objects piled up on the shutter 4 fall down as shown by the arrow in FIG. 1.

The packaging object passes through the guide passage (10) and falls into the packaging container (3) while being guided by the present invention. The packaging object slides along the uneven surface 22 of the present invention. Since the packaging object slides with minimal contact with the convex portion 22b of the uneven surface 22, friction, which is a cause of static electricity, is minimized, thereby preventing the generation of static electricity.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the packaging object from sticking to the friction surface due to static electricity as in the past.

Packaging objects, such as tablets or capsules, slide on the uneven surface 22 and fall into the packaging container 3, such as a bottle, to be packaged in a fixed quantity.

As seen, the present invention is mounted on a counter to prevent static electricity, allowing the counter to count the packaging quantity of a given packaging object and place it in a packaging container. In addition, the present invention can solve the problem of packaging objects sticking to the friction surface and not falling down or falling slowly, resulting in light or excessive packaging in the packaging container. Additionally, the present invention can prevent counting errors in packaging objects due to the effects of static electricity. In addition, this design is designed with an optimal structure that matches the guide passage, so it can be easily installed without a separate fixing device. In addition, this design is very easy to install because the operator can just place it on the coupling part of the guide passage to connect it. In addition, the present invention does not require any additional means (compressed air, electricity, etc.) to prevent the packaging object from sticking to the friction surface. In addition, the present invention designs the inclination angle of the inner wall at an optimal angle that does not affect the counting of the packaging object, so that the falling time of the packaging object such as tablets or capsules is constant, and this allows accurate counting of the packaging object.
