Description

Tablet Pulverizer {AUTO PILL CRUSHER}

The present invention relates to a tablet grinding device, and more particularly, to a tablet form to determine the ease and content and accuracy of the drug distribution to infants, badrib patients, elderly people or pets that do not take tablets (pills) The present invention relates to an improved tablet grinder for pulverizing tablets distributed to the subject so that the subjects can easily take the tablet.

Tablets (錠 劑) are prescribed to patients in general hospitals or pharmacies are molded into various forms, such as circular and cylindrical shape, the tablets are pulverized into powder (인) to be prescribed with tablets.

The reason for prescribing powdered powder (hereinafter referred to as powdered powder) is because it is difficult to swallow the tablets by itself, infants, infants who are not yet wide in esophagus, bedridden patients in bed, or weak physical activity. Older people should take the tablets in powdered form and mix them with water or other preparations, because prescribing the pills as they may cause the throat or block the esophagus.

In addition, even pets such as dogs and cats are mixed with foods in a tablet state, so the foods are fed only by the sense of smell, and tablets are not picked out. Is taking.

As a means for making tablets into powdered medicine, the method of grinding by garlic using the principle of pulverization by improving the method of crushing by manpower while checking the condition with eyes using the traditional method of judo and pestle. It has been developed into a manual grinder having the same structure as an automatic grinding machine of a mixer type that maximizes the convenience of grinding.

When using judo and pestle among various means for making tablets into powdered powder as described above, it is easy to crush one or two tablets into powdered powder, but it is not easy to continue to crush or bulk tablets. I can't.

In particular, it takes a lot of time to put tablets in jugi and to make fine powder using pestle, and it puts a strain on wrists and joints during long-term use, and induces porcelain material and residues of pestle can be mixed in powdered medicine. However, the more important thing is that the ingredients of the previously crushed tablets remain in the grooves of the trigger, so that the next drug must be washed and dried again before being crushed. After shaking off, the next medicine is pulverized. Therefore, in the course of taking the medicine, medicines other than the prescribed drug ingredients are administered, which may pose a danger to the patient. It will be difficult to transport the packaging or syrup into plastic bottles for the preparation.

In the case of the manual grinder using the lever principle, it is more convenient than using mortar and pestle.However, when crushing tablets, it is not pulverized in the form of powdered powder at once but is pulverized into small grains. It is not preferred because the grain size is thicker than the powder made using and pestle.

In addition, it can be easily utilized in the pulverization of one or two tablets to make powdered medicine, but it is difficult to make many powders at the same time to make powdered medicine.

In addition, in the case of the automatic crusher having the same configuration as the mixer, it is composed of a main body having a container for accommodating the tablet to be pulverized and a pulverized body which is coupled to the main body and fixed with an impeller on the shaft of the motor to grind the tablets in the container. Lose.

Automatic grinding machine as described above has the advantage that can be easily crushed tablets and to make tablets in a fine powdered powder easily, but after grinding the tablet into a powdered powder and rotates at high speed when separating the body and the pulverized body Since it is pulverized by the impeller to generate a lot of dust, such dust is leaked to the outside to provide a cause to pollute the environment as well as the worker.

Such an automatic grinding machine has the advantage of making a large amount of powdered powder at a time, but also the ingredients of the drug remain on the blade or the main body or pulverized powder in the powdered state is concerned about the mixing of the drug components, especially a small amount of When crushing tablets, the powder adheres to the container, so it may be suitable for large hospitals or large pharmacies that mainly crush large quantities of tablets. The economic burden is not used much situation.

In other words, both the type using hand and pestle, manual grinder and automatic grinding machine make powdered powder and then powdered powder remains in grinding means even after transferring powdered powder. Although it is recommended by KFDA, it is often used with or without cleaning with a brush or tissue.

In this case, there are various problems, such as a premixed drug remaining in the grinding means and a new drug to be crushed, which is fine when the same drug is to be pulverized, but may cause a fatal adverse effect on the patient due to the incorporation of a pharmaceutical ingredient that should not be prescribed in other types. It is happening.

In the present invention, to solve the problems as described above, the grinding body having an inlet for supplying the tablet to be crushed on one side and the outlet for discharging the powdered powder in the other lower portion, and the crushing It is composed of a crushing means for crushing the tablet into a powdered medicine and installed in the body, and a pouch for containing the medicine to prevent the tablet from being crushed in the process of crushing the tablet into powdered medicine, the injection hole, the inlet It includes an input tray provided to stably supply the pouch containing the tablet to be crushed, and a sensing sensor provided in the input tray to detect the pouch to operate the grinding means, the discharge port accommodates the powdered powder Keep the pouch discharged in a stable state And a discharge tray for, including take-off groove in a concave shape that allows to form on the front or both sides of the output tray to easily catch the ejected pouch,

Since the tablets are pulverized using powdered pouches, it is possible to prevent the mixing of other drugs, and to prevent contamination of the crushing device by the drugs, thereby achieving the purpose of conveniently crushing the tablets. .

The present invention is to make the powdered medicine by passing the tablet to the grinding roller of several stages gradually narrowing the interval, and to receive the tablet in the pouch so that the tablet does not adhere to the grinding device during the grinding process, the grinding efficiency and safety It is an invention having various effects, such as being able to solve problems that may be caused by scattering of powdered medicine or mixing of drugs after grinding while increasing.
