圖3係圖2之藥末清潔裝置之另一組裝圖。Figure 3 is another assembled view of the drug cleaning device of Figure 2.

請參閱圖1，本發明之一較佳實施例中，一自動取藥機之藥末清潔裝置用以清潔一自動取藥機之一取藥裝置10上沾上之藥末。Referring to FIG. 1, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an end-of-charge cleaning device for an automatic drug take-up machine is used to clean the drug on a drug take-up device 10 of an automatic drug take-up device.

該取藥裝置10包括一取藥臂11，該藥末清潔裝置包括設定於取藥臂11之末端上之一吸嘴頭12，吸嘴頭12藉由一第一氣管21連接到一過濾器50，該過濾器50藉由一第二氣管22連接到一真空泵60，過濾器50內裝設了粉塵吸附材料，例如活性炭等。取藥臂11取藥時，取藥臂11將吸嘴頭12伸入一藥盒30中，真空泵60工作而抽氣，從而於吸嘴頭12內產生負壓，從而將藥盒30中之藥片吸附起來，則吸嘴頭12之外側與內部可能吸附到藥末。The medicine taking device 10 includes a medicine taking arm 11 including a nozzle head 12 disposed at an end of the medicine taking arm 11 , and the nozzle head 12 is connected to a filter by a first air tube 21 50. The filter 50 is connected to a vacuum pump 60 by a second air tube 22, and a dust adsorbing material such as activated carbon or the like is disposed in the filter 50. When the medicine taking arm 11 takes medicine, the medicine taking arm 11 projects the nozzle head 12 into a medicine box 30, and the vacuum pump 60 works to pump air, thereby generating a negative pressure in the nozzle head 12, thereby placing the medicine box 30 therein. When the tablet is absorbed, the outer side and the inside of the mouthpiece 12 may be adsorbed to the drug.

藥盒30之上部設有一開口31，一蓋體40可設定於藥盒30之開口31之上方，該蓋體40包括兩相互平行之側板41與連接於兩側板41後部之一後板42，兩後板42之前側分別固定了一清潔刷45，清潔刷45上設有複數可變性之柔軟刷毛，兩後板42之兩清潔刷45相對設定，兩者中部設有一缺口46，該缺口46之寬度小於吸嘴頭12之尺寸，當吸嘴頭12伸入藥盒30中時，吸嘴頭12會從缺口46中通過，且吸嘴頭12之外側會被清潔刷45之刷毛刷到。An opening 31 is disposed on the upper portion of the medicine box 30. A cover 40 can be disposed above the opening 31 of the medicine box 30. The cover 40 includes two parallel side plates 41 and a rear plate 42 connected to the rear of the two side plates 41. A cleaning brush 45 is respectively fixed on the front side of the two rear plates 42. The cleaning brush 45 is provided with a plurality of variability soft bristles, and the two cleaning brushes 45 of the two rear plates 42 are oppositely disposed, and a notch 46 is formed in the middle of the two. The width is smaller than the size of the nozzle head 12. When the nozzle head 12 is inserted into the cartridge 30, the nozzle tip 12 will pass through the notch 46, and the outer side of the nozzle tip 12 will be brushed by the brush of the cleaning brush 45. .

請參閱圖2與圖3，當吸嘴頭12上之藥末需要清潔時，將取藥臂11之吸嘴頭12往返伸入該缺口46中，同時真空泵60開始工作而抽氣，則清潔刷45之刷毛會將吸嘴頭12上之藥末刷掉，被刷掉之藥末與吸嘴頭12內部之藥末會被吸嘴頭12吸入過濾器50，過濾器50內之粉塵吸附材料將藥末吸附，而防止粉塵隨意飄散。Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when the medicine on the nozzle head 12 needs to be cleaned, the nozzle head 12 of the medicine taking arm 11 is reciprocated into the notch 46, and the vacuum pump 60 starts to work and is pumped, and then cleans. The bristles of the brush 45 will brush off the medicine on the nozzle head 12, and the medicine that is brushed off and the medicine inside the nozzle head 12 will be sucked into the filter 50 by the nozzle head 12, and the dust in the filter 50 is adsorbed. The material adsorbs the drug at the end and prevents the dust from floating freely.

此外由於蓋體40放置於藥盒30之上部，當取藥裝置10每次取藥前，蓋體40之清潔刷45均會對吸嘴頭12上之藥末進行清潔，從而可隨時清潔吸嘴頭12。In addition, since the cover 40 is placed on the upper part of the medicine box 30, the cleaning brush 45 of the cover 40 cleans the medicine on the nozzle head 12 before the medicine taking device 10 takes the medicine, so that the cleaning can be cleaned at any time. Mouth 12.
