Description

{TABLET INPECTION APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a tablet inspection apparatus, and more particularly, to a tablet inspection apparatus provided with a sealing structure for preventing the leakage of foreign matter.

BACKGROUND ART In general, tablets taken for the purpose of treatment in the medical field are being mass-produced through automated processes, and a process for inspecting defective products occurring in such a production process is required.

For example, tablets can be used in the process of manufacturing automated processes, through the inspection process of defective products, the adhesion or contamination of foreign substances, the cracks or partial damage due to contact or impact between tablets, I have removed.

The process of inspecting the appearance of capsules, tablets having an elliptical or circular cross section has been changed from a visual inspection performed by an operator to an automatic inspection using a tablet inspection apparatus. Various types of tablet inspection apparatuses for such automatic inspection have been proposed.

In the case of automatically inspecting tablets using a tablet inspecting apparatus, images of one side of the tablet are obtained by photographing the tablets using a camera during the transfer of the tablets, and the other side of the tablet is transferred A method of inspecting the presence or absence of defects by processing an image of one side and the other side of the tablet after photographing with a camera is generally adopted.

As an example of such a technique, in Korean Patent No. 10-121634, tablets are fed into a feed unit and a rotating plate from a tablet feeding section, and the tablets supplied to the feeding unit and the rotating plate are brought into close contact with the side surface of the feeding unit by centrifugal force And is moved in a line to the upper side of the side of the supply unit by the rotary plate and supplied to the visual inspection apparatus.

However, in the conventional tablet inspecting apparatus, the supply unit and the rotating plate for sorting and supplying the tablets can move according to the size and shape of the tablet, and in this process, a gap may be formed between the main body and the supply unit.

If a clearance is formed between the main body and the supply unit, foreign substances such as refined dust generated in the process of inspecting tablets can permeate. Such foreign substances may pollute the environment or damage surrounding components , Causing long-term damage to the drive, especially. In addition, foreign substances such as refined dust can be exposed to the tablets in the examination process when they are exposed to the other tablets, thereby causing contamination of the tablets.

An object of the present invention is to provide a tablet inspecting apparatus in which a gap between a main body and a supply unit is sealed to prevent infiltration of foreign matter such as tablet dust.

A tablet inspection apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a main body provided with a tablet insertion portion; A supply unit which is provided in the main body to sort and supply the tablets supplied from the tablet introducing unit, and to move with respect to the main body according to the shape or size of the tablet; And a sealing pad provided between the main body and the supply unit to block a gap generated when the supply unit is moved.

The sealing pad may include a bracket provided to surround one side of the lower circumference of the supply unit and one side of the bottom surface of the supply unit, an elastic member provided on the bracket to elastically contact the bottom surface of the supply unit, And a bushing member for reducing contact friction with the main body.

The auxiliary bracket may further include an auxiliary bracket provided between the elastic member and the bottom portion of the supply unit and an auxiliary bushing member coupled to an upper portion of the auxiliary bracket to reduce contact friction between the elastic unit and the supply unit.

Further, the elastic member may include a spring or an O-ring.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to seal the gap between the main body and the supply unit to prevent foreign matter such as tablet dust from penetrating, and in particular, when the supply unit is moved upward or side- It is possible to seal the gap between the main body and the supply unit so as to prevent the infiltration of foreign substances such as refined dust and the like. Accordingly, contamination of the surrounding environment due to the exposure of foreign substances such as refined dust and the like It is possible to prevent breakdown, to keep the internal installation clean, and to prevent the tablet dust and the like from being mixed with other tablets.
