Hereinafter, the drug discharge device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the present invention, the release drug is a drug having a non-standardized asymmetric shape, such as a semi-circular or semi-elliptic half-pill tablet cut in half or a round or oval tablet, and means a drug that is difficult to be automatically discharged using a conventional cassette device do. In addition, in the present invention, the drug is not only the above-described release drug, but also has an intact tablet shape, but requires special handling such as drugs, so that the existing cassette device cannot be used or the frequency of use is low. It should be considered to include all drugs that are inefficient.

The drug dispensing apparatus according to the present invention is a device capable of precisely dispensing even a release drug of an unshaped shape, including a standardized drug such as a tablet or capsule. In order to eject the medications exactly one by one, it is necessary to align the medications that are bundled together at regular intervals. If the drugs are arranged in close proximity, one or more drugs may be discharged at once by inertia.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the drug discharge device (D) according to the present invention, the frame 10, is mounted to the frame 10 to move the drugs while arranging the drugs in a line apart from each other A separation unit 20, a drug supply unit 30 disposed on an upstream side of the separation unit 20 on the frame 10 and supplying drugs to be discharged one by one to the separation unit 20; It further comprises a drug delivery unit 40 for delivering a drug discharged one by one through the spaced array unit 20 to the hopper 130 side.

The spaced array unit 20 includes vibration generating means 21 for generating vibration and a plate 22 attached to the vibration generating means 21 and vibrating together. As the vibration generating means 21, any structure conventionally used can be used as long as the plate 22 can be vibrated in a linear direction, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The plate 22 vibrates by the vibration generating means 21 to finely move the drugs placed on the upper surface thereof. The plate 22 includes a groove 23 for moving the medication to the discharge passage 42 of the medication delivery unit 40.

The plate 22 is installed with a slight inclination toward the side to which the discharge passage 42 is attached, so that the drugs on the plate 22 gradually discharge the passage passage 42 as the plate 22 vibrates by the spaced array unit. To move toward the

The groove 23 includes one or more inclined surfaces 24, and thus the bottom surface of the groove 23 has a form in which one or more steps are formed. The drug may move faster while passing through the inclined surface 24, thereby further increasing the distance from another drug to be transported immediately behind. In this way, the gap between the drug and the drug discharged due to the inclined surface 24 formed in the groove portion 23, it is possible to accurately control the discharge of the drug.

The cross-sectional shape of the groove portion 23 preferably has an English U or V shape so that the drug can move along the centerline of the groove portion 23. In addition, when two or more inclined surfaces 24 are formed on the plate 22, the angles of the inclined surfaces 24 may be all designed to be the same or different from each other as necessary.

The plate 22 vibrating by the spaced array unit may be made of a metal material, a nonmetal material, or a metal and a nonmetal material. In particular, the release agent may be formed depending on which material the upper surface of the plate 22 is in contact with the drug. Since the moving speed of the can be changed, the material of the plate 22 may be changed in accordance with the moving speed of the release drug required in the design.

In the above description, the separation arrangement unit for arranging the medicines in a line by vibration is described as an example. However, if a plurality of drugs can be arranged in a line with each other spaced apart from each other, means other than vibration can be used.

As the medicine supply unit 30, a cylindrical feeder mounted on the frame 10 to move the medicine spirally by vibration may be used. The release medications which are poured at once into the receiving part 31 of the medicine supply unit 30 move out of the receiving part 31 along the spiral movement path 32 extending from the bottom of the receiving part 31. Thus, the release agent moving in a line along the spiral movement path 32 in the cylindrical feeder as the drug supply unit 30 can be transferred from the cylindrical feeder onto the plate 22, that is, dropped, and then the plate 22 continues. ) Can be moved on.

One or more cutting grooves 33 may be formed in the helical movement path 32, which cuts the cutting groove 33 when two medicines move side by side along the helical movement path 32. One drug is to fall back to the receiving portion 31 while passing. To this end, the cutting groove 33 may be formed at the inner edge of the spiral movement path 32.

The release agent that has moved to the end of the plate 22 may be delivered to the outside through the drug delivery unit 40. The drug delivery unit 40 includes a discharge passage 42 in which the detection means 41 for detecting the number of drugs to be discharged is mounted and the number of drugs is correct according to the detection result of the detection means 41. The packaging passage 43 for delivering the discharged medicine to the packaging device 150 and the medicine to be discharged when the number of the medicines is not correct according to the result detected by the detection means 41 toward the collecting container 45. Recovery passageway 44 for delivery.

The detection means provided in the discharge passage 42 so as to detect the number of drugs falling from the plate 22 may be, for example, an optical sensor including a light emitting part and a light receiving part.

On the other hand, one or more sensors (not shown) may be arranged along the plate 22 to detect the position of the drug moving on the plate 22. For example, when the sensor is provided at the end of the drug supply unit 30 side of the plate 22, the instant immediately after the medicine is supplied from the drug supply unit 30 to the plate 22 can be detected, and the plate ( When the sensor is installed at the distal end of the drug delivery unit 40 at 22), the moment immediately before the medicine is supplied from the plate 22 to the drug delivery unit 40 can be detected. In addition, sensors can be installed at other locations on the plate to detect the state of movement of the drug.

The sensor may be integrally installed in the plate 22 or may be installed outside the plate 22.

When the position of the medicine moving on the plate 22 is detected by using the sensor in this manner, the medicine can be stopped and waited at any position on the plate 22. For example, a sensor is installed at the end of the drug delivery unit 40 side of the plate 22, and when a drug is detected by the sensor, the vibration of the plate 22 is stopped and the drug is stopped at the end of the plate 22. I can keep it. When the packaging signal of the medicine is transmitted from the controller of the automatic medicine packing machine to the medicine discharging device D, the vibration of the plate 22 is resumed and the medicine can be supplied from the plate 22 to the medicine delivery unit 40.

In this way, when the drug is placed in the standby state just before discharging, the drug supply time to the drug delivery unit 40 through the plate 22 can be shortened, thereby reducing the overall packaging time.

As shown in FIG. 4, an opening and closing member 46 for selectively opening any one of the packing passage 43 and the recovery passage 44 is provided at the inlet of the packing passage 43 and the recovery passage 44. In the discharge passage 42 upstream of the opening / closing member 46, a retention member 47 for temporarily holding the number of drugs detected is provided. The opening / closing member 46 is rotatably installed at a constant angle by the opening / closing motor 48, and the staying member 47 is also rotatably provided at a constant angle by the staying motor 49.
