發明概要 發明欲解決之課題 上述習知之固形製劑搬送裝置50在利用限制筒54搬送固形製劑60中，可使固形製劑60的姿勢從立起狀態變化為倒伏狀態，但由於固形製劑60的倒伏是藉由與沿著搬送方向形成前端較細的溝部56a的抵接而進行，因此恐怕因為與溝部56a之碰撞而在固形製劑60產生裂痕或缺口等。DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION The above-described conventional solid preparation delivery device 50 can transfer the solid preparation 60 from the standing state to the lodging state by transferring the solid preparation 60 by the restriction cylinder 54, but the lodging of the solid preparation 60 is This is caused by the contact with the groove portion 56a having a narrow tip end along the conveying direction. Therefore, cracks, notches, or the like may occur in the solid preparation 60 due to the collision with the groove portion 56a.
進而，為了將固形製劑60引導到溝部56a而使之順利地倒伏，必須確保限制導引部56之圓周方向長度達某種程度，故固形製劑60在限制導引部56之內面長時間滑動而容易摩耗，不僅如此，由於限制筒54之廣大範圍被限制導引部56覆蓋，因此具有固形製劑60之外觀檢査等變困難的問題。Further, in order to guide the solid preparation 60 to the groove portion 56a so as to smoothly fall down, it is necessary to ensure that the circumferential direction of the restriction guide portion 56 is made to some extent, so that the solid preparation 60 slides on the inner surface of the restriction guide portion 56 for a long time. Moreover, since it is easy to wear, the wide range of the regulating cylinder 54 is covered by the regulating guide 56, and thus the appearance inspection of the solid preparation 60 becomes difficult.
因此，本發明之目的在於提供一種可防止搬送中之製劑的損傷，並且可容易且確實地進行製劑之姿勢變化的製劑搬送裝置。 解決課題之方法Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a preparation conveying apparatus which can prevent damage of a preparation during transportation and which can easily and surely change the posture of the preparation.

A plurality of concave pockets 11 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the supply cylinder 10, and the preparation F is accommodated in each of the pockets 11 in an upright state. The bags 11 are formed along the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the supply cylinder 10, respectively. A brush roller 3 is provided near the outer circumference of the supply cylinder 10. The brush roller 3 feeds the preparation F conveyed in a state in which it is not properly accommodated in the bag 11 to the funnel 2.
在供給筒10之內部，形成有複數個沿著軸線延伸之吸引流路12。各吸引流路12與沿著軸線配置之複數個袋11之各個袋透過連通路13而連通。吸引流路12可連通於真空吸引裝置(未圖示)，藉由供給筒10之旋轉在吸引流路12通過吸引區域A1期間，在袋11之內部進行吸引，製劑F保持於袋11內。接著，吸引流路12離開吸引區域A1時，在袋11內的吸引被解除，製劑F沿著導引板5搬送。Inside the supply cylinder 10, a plurality of suction flow paths 12 extending along the axis are formed. Each of the suction flow paths 12 communicates with each of the plurality of pockets 11 arranged along the axis through the communication passage 13. The suction flow path 12 is connected to a vacuum suction device (not shown), and during the suction flow path 12 passes through the suction area A1 by the rotation of the supply tube 10, the inside of the bag 11 is sucked, and the preparation F is held in the bag 11. Next, when the suction flow path 12 leaves the suction area A1, the suction in the bag 11 is released, and the preparation F is conveyed along the guide sheet 5.
方向限制筒20是配置成接近供給筒10之正下方，如箭頭所示，朝與供給筒10之旋轉方向之逆向旋轉驅動。在方向限制筒20之外周面，分別沿著軸方向及圓周方向而形成複數個凹狀之袋21。袋21包含：使製劑F保持立起狀態之複數個立起保持部22、及鄰接配置於各立起保持部22之搬送方向上游側而使製劑F保持倒伏狀態的複數個倒伏保持部23。在方向限制筒20之外周附近，設置有攝像裝置4。攝像裝置4檢查製劑F之表面上有無缺口或裂痕等的缺陷，並且根據製劑F之割線等檢測製劑F之方向。The direction restricting cylinder 20 is disposed immediately below the supply cylinder 10, and is driven to rotate in the reverse direction of the rotation direction of the supply cylinder 10 as indicated by the arrow. On the outer peripheral surface of the direction restricting cylinder 20, a plurality of concave pockets 21 are formed along the axial direction and the circumferential direction, respectively. The bag 21 includes a plurality of standing holding portions 22 that hold the preparation F in an upright state, and a plurality of lodging holding portions 23 that are disposed adjacent to the upstream side in the conveying direction of each of the standing holding portions 22 to keep the preparation F in a fallen state. An imaging device 4 is provided in the vicinity of the outer circumference of the direction restricting cylinder 20. The imaging device 4 inspects the surface of the preparation F for defects such as notches or cracks, and detects the direction of the preparation F according to the secant of the preparation F or the like.
所謂製劑F之倒伏狀態，是指在製劑F之保持位置中與方向限制筒20之外周面相接的假想平面上製劑F的姿勢最安定之狀態。例如，若製劑F為圓板狀之錠劑時，則製劑F之朝直徑方向擴展的平面與上述之假想平面略平行的狀態為倒伏狀態，若製劑F為筒狀之膠囊劑，則製劑F之軸線方向與上述之假想平面略平行的狀態為倒伏狀態。The lodging state of the preparation F means a state in which the posture of the preparation F is most stable on the imaginary plane which is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the direction regulating cylinder 20 in the holding position of the preparation F. For example, when the preparation F is a disk-shaped tablet, the state in which the plane F of the preparation F is expanded in the diameter direction is slightly parallel to the above-described imaginary plane is a lodging state, and if the preparation F is a cylindrical capsule, the preparation F The state in which the axial direction is slightly parallel to the above-described imaginary plane is a lodging state.
另一方面，所謂製劑F的立起狀態，是指上述之倒伏狀態以外的狀態。即，不僅是製劑F之直徑方向或者長邊方向與上述之假想平面正交的狀態，傾斜之狀態也包含在立起狀態內。On the other hand, the standing state of the preparation F means a state other than the above-described lodging state. That is, not only the diametrical direction or the longitudinal direction of the preparation F is orthogonal to the above-described imaginary plane, but also the state of inclination is included in the erected state.
在方向限制筒20的內部，分別形成有複數個沿著軸線延伸之2種類的吸引流路24、25。其中一個吸引流路24透過連通路26而與沿著軸線配置之複數個立起保持部22的各個立起保持部連通。另一個吸引流路25是透過連通路27而與沿著軸線配置之複數個倒伏保持部23的各個倒伏保持部連通。Inside the direction restricting cylinder 20, a plurality of types of suction flow paths 24, 25 extending along the axis are formed. One of the suction flow paths 24 communicates with each of the plurality of standing holding portions 22 of the plurality of standing holding portions 22 arranged along the axis line through the communication path 26. The other suction flow path 25 communicates with each of the lodging holding portions of the plurality of lodging holding portions 23 arranged along the axis line through the communication path 27.
吸引流路24、25可連通於真空吸引裝置(未圖示)。藉由方向限制筒20的旋轉，在其中一個吸引流路24通過吸引區域A2期間，在立起保持部22之內部藉由連通路26進行吸引，將製劑F保持於立起保持部22內。接著，當其中一個吸引流路24離開吸引區域A2時，在立起保持部22內的吸引解除。又，藉由方向限制筒20的旋轉，在另一個吸引流路25通過吸引區域A3期間，在倒伏保持部23之內部藉由連通路27進行吸引，將製劑F保持於倒伏保持部23內。而且，當另一個吸引流路25離開吸引區域A3時，在倒伏保持部23內的吸引解除。The suction flow paths 24, 25 are connectable to a vacuum suction device (not shown).

Next, when one of the suction flow paths 24 is separated from the suction region A2, the suction in the standing holding portion 22 is released. Further, by the rotation of the direction restricting cylinder 20, while the other suction flow path 25 passes through the suction region A3, the inside of the lodging holding portion 23 is sucked by the communication passage 27, and the preparation F is held in the lodging holding portion 23. Further, when the other suction flow path 25 is separated from the suction area A3, the suction in the lodging holding portion 23 is released.
標記筒30配置成接近方向限制筒20之斜下方，如箭頭所示，朝與方向限制筒20的旋轉方向相反之方向旋轉驅動。在標記筒30之外周面，分別沿著軸方向及圓周方向而形成複數個凹狀之袋31。在標記筒30之內部，形成有複數個沿著軸線延伸之吸引流路32。各吸引流路32透過連通路33而與沿著軸線配置之複數個袋31之各個袋連通。吸引流路32可連通於真空吸引裝置(未圖示)，藉由標記筒30之旋轉，在吸引流路32通過吸引區域A4之期間，在袋31之內部進行吸引，將製劑F保持於袋31內。而且，當吸引流路32離開吸引區域A4時，在袋31內的吸引則解除。在標記筒30的附近，配置雷射標記裝置或噴墨印刷裝置等之標記裝置(未圖示)，在方向限制筒20進行的搬送中，沿著由攝像裝置4檢測出之製劑F的方向，在製劑F的表面施行標記。The marking cylinder 30 is disposed to be obliquely downward of the direction restricting cylinder 20, and is rotationally driven in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the direction restricting cylinder 20 as indicated by an arrow. On the outer peripheral surface of the marking cylinder 30, a plurality of concave pockets 31 are formed along the axial direction and the circumferential direction, respectively. Inside the marking cylinder 30, a plurality of suction flow paths 32 extending along the axis are formed. Each of the suction channels 32 communicates with each of the plurality of pockets 31 arranged along the axis line through the communication passage 33. The suction flow path 32 is connected to a vacuum suction device (not shown), and the inside of the bag 31 is sucked while the suction flow path 32 passes through the suction area A4 by the rotation of the marking cylinder 30, and the preparation F is held in the bag. 31 inside. Further, when the suction flow path 32 is separated from the suction area A4, the suction in the bag 31 is released. In the vicinity of the marking cylinder 30, a marking device (not shown) such as a laser marking device or an inkjet printing device is disposed, and the direction of the preparation F detected by the imaging device 4 is carried out during the conveyance by the direction regulating cylinder 20. Marked on the surface of Formulation F.
吸引裝置40裝設在連接於真空吸引裝置(未圖示)之本體43的吸引部，具有用以吸引藉由方向限制筒20而被搬送到附近之製劑F的姿勢變化吸嘴41及調整吸嘴42。姿勢變化吸嘴41及調整吸嘴42宜為任一者都是由軟質材料形成，以確實地防止製劑F的損傷。軟質材料可例示矽橡膠、甲酸乙酯橡膠、天然橡膠、合成橡膠等之熱固性彈性體、或聚酯系、聚胺系等之熱可塑性彈性體。本實施形態中，是作成姿勢變化吸嘴41及調整吸嘴42連續地吸引製劑F的構成，但亦可藉由對不圖示之開閉閥進行開啟關閉控制，以所期望之周期間歇地吸引製劑F。The suction device 40 is attached to a suction portion connected to the main body 43 of the vacuum suction device (not shown), and has a posture change nozzle 41 for sucking the preparation F that is transported to the vicinity by the direction restricting cylinder 20, and an adjustment suction.

圖2是顯示在圖1所示之製劑搬送裝置1之方向限制筒20形成複數個袋21之一部分的要部平面圖，圖3是袋21的立體圖。又，圖4及圖5分別是圖2之A-A截面圖及B-B截面圖。如圖2到圖5所示，袋21是藉由使朝搬送方向Ｔ延伸而形成之凹部的搬送方向上游側更為深入凹陷，分別形成了立起保持部22及倒伏保持部23。Fig. 2 is a plan view showing a principal part of a plurality of pockets 21 formed by the direction restricting cylinder 20 of the preparation transporting apparatus 1 shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the pocket 21. 4 and 5 are a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A and a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of Fig. 2, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, the bag 21 is further recessed by the upstream side in the conveying direction of the concave portion formed to extend in the conveying direction T, and the standing holding portion 22 and the lodging holding portion 23 are respectively formed.
立起保持部22的內面之一部分作為從底部朝開口擴展的傾斜面28。該傾斜面28是相對於後述之倒伏保持部23的底面23b傾斜，連通路26朝立起保持部22內開口，使製劑在沿著傾斜面28立起的狀態下被吸引保持。如圖4所示，傾斜面28相對於與吸引流路24平行延伸之方向限制筒20的軸線正交的平面P，以預定之傾斜角度θ(在本實施形態中為60°)傾斜，而從立起保持部22之開口緣部朝底部向內方傾斜，藉此可使製劑沿著傾斜面28迅速地傾斜。One of the inner faces of the standing holding portion 22 serves as an inclined surface 28 that expands from the bottom toward the opening. The inclined surface 28 is inclined with respect to the bottom surface 23b of the lodging holding portion 23 to be described later, and the communication passage 26 is opened to the inside of the standing holding portion 22, and the preparation is sucked and held in a state of standing up along the inclined surface 28. As shown in FIG. 4, the inclined surface 28 is inclined at a predetermined inclination angle θ (60° in the present embodiment) with respect to a plane P orthogonal to the axis of the restriction cylinder 20 extending in parallel with the suction flow path 24. The opening edge portion of the standing holding portion 22 is inclined inward toward the bottom portion, whereby the preparation can be quickly inclined along the inclined surface 28.
倒伏保持部23具有朝向搬送方向上游側呈前端較細之錐狀前端較細部23a，且連通孔27朝倒伏保持部23內開口，而可在使倒伏狀態之製劑抵接於前端較細部23a之狀態下被吸引保持。倒伏保持部23之底面23b形成為與相接於方向限制筒20之外周面之假想平面略平行的平面狀。The lodging holding portion 23 has a tapered tapered end portion 23a which is tapered toward the upstream side in the conveying direction, and the communication hole 27 is opened to the inside of the lodging holding portion 23, and the preparation in the fallen state can be brought into contact with the front end thin portion 23a. The state is attracted to keep. The bottom surface 23b of the lodging holding portion 23 is formed in a planar shape slightly parallel to the imaginary plane that is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the direction restricting cylinder 20.
其次，說明具有上述構成之製劑搬送裝置1的作動。多數收容於漏斗10之製劑F是藉由供給筒10而在立起狀態下搬送。方向限制筒20使從供給筒10以立起狀態接收之製劑F的姿勢在搬送中變化，而以倒伏狀態遞送到標記筒30。之後，藉由標記筒30，對以倒伏狀態搬送之製劑F進行標記。Next, the operation of the preparation transporting apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described. Most of the preparation F contained in the funnel 10 is conveyed in the standing state by the supply cylinder 10. The direction restricting cylinder 20 changes the posture of the preparation F received from the supply cylinder 10 in the standing state in the conveyance, and delivers it to the marking cylinder 30 in the fallen state. Thereafter, the preparation F conveyed in the lodging state is marked by the marking cylinder 30.
圖6是用以說明方向限制筒20進行之搬送中之製劑F的姿勢變化的要部工程截面圖。如圖6(a)所示，從供給筒10(參考圖1)朝縱方向落下到立起保持部22之圓板狀的製劑F如圖6(b)所示，沿著傾斜面28滑落而朝圖之面前方向以傾斜狀態立起，並且藉由連通路26而在吸引保持到立起保持部22內之狀態下藉由方向限制筒20搬送。接著，當製劑F搬送到姿勢變化吸嘴41之附近時，解除連通路26進行的吸引，如圖6(c)所示，製劑F吸附於姿勢變化吸嘴41。FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part for explaining a change in posture of the preparation F during conveyance by the direction restricting cylinder 20. As shown in Fig. 6 (a), the disk-shaped preparation F that has fallen from the supply cylinder 10 (refer to Fig. 1) in the longitudinal direction to the standing holding portion 22 is slid down along the inclined surface 28 as shown in Fig. 6 (b). On the other hand, the direction of the front side of the figure is raised in an inclined state, and is conveyed by the direction restricting cylinder 20 while being sucked and held in the standing holding portion 22 by the communication path 26. Next, when the preparation F is transported to the vicinity of the posture change nozzle 41, the suction by the communication path 26 is released, and as shown in FIG. 6(c), the preparation F is adsorbed to the posture change nozzle 41.
製劑F是以被姿勢變化吸嘴41吸引之狀態，藉由方向限制筒20旋轉，如圖6(d)所示，移動到倒伏保持部23後，藉由倒伏保持部23之前端較細部23a，從姿勢變化吸嘴41掏取。如此，製劑F沿著底面23b倒伏，被連通路27吸引保持。由於前端較細部23a形成為錐狀(V字形)，因此可精確度佳地進行在倒伏保持部23內之製劑F的定位。The preparation F is in a state of being attracted by the posture changing nozzle 41, and the direction restricting cylinder 20 is rotated, and as shown in FIG. 6(d), after moving to the lodging holding portion 23, the lower end portion 23a is formed by the lodging holding portion 23. , from the posture change nozzle 41. Thus, the preparation F falls down along the bottom surface 23b, and is sucked and held by the communication path 27. Since the front end thin portion 23a is formed in a tapered shape (V-shape), the positioning of the preparation F in the lodging holding portion 23 can be performed with high precision.
其次，當製劑F搬送到調整吸嘴42的附近時，如圖6(e)所示，已被連通路27吸引保持的製劑F會被調整吸嘴42之更強的吸引力吸引，在倒伏保持部23內，製劑F之位置及姿勢會微調整。之後，如圖6(f)所示，製劑F會藉由連通路27而再次以倒伏狀態被吸引保持。Next, when the preparation F is carried to the vicinity of the adjustment nozzle 42, as shown in Fig. 6(e), the preparation F which has been sucked and held by the communication path 27 is attracted by the stronger attraction of the adjustment nozzle 42, and is lodging. In the holding portion 23, the position and posture of the preparation F are finely adjusted. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6(f), the preparation F is again sucked and held in the lodging state by the communication path 27.
如此，根據本實施形態之製劑搬送裝置1，在方向限制筒20之旋轉中，姿勢變化吸嘴41將保持於立起保持部22之立起狀態的製劑F吸引而移動到倒伏保持部23，可令製劑倒伏狀態，因此，不會像以往一樣製劑F碰撞到限制導引部而有損傷之虞，而是可容易且確實地進行製劑F之姿勢變化。In the preparation conveyance device 1 of the present embodiment, the posture change nozzle 41 sucks and moves the preparation F held in the standing state of the standing holding portion 22 to the lodging holding portion 23 during the rotation of the direction restricting cylinder 20, Since the preparation can be in a state of being laid down, the preparation F does not collide with the restriction guide portion and is damaged as in the related art, and the posture change of the preparation F can be easily and surely performed.
又，藉由不要限制導引部，可如圖1所示，在方向限制筒20之附近設置攝像裝置4，進行製劑F之外觀檢査或方向檢測等，故可擴大製劑搬送裝置1之用途或布局的變動。Further, by not restricting the guide portion, as shown in FIG. 1, the imaging device 4 can be provided in the vicinity of the direction restricting cylinder 20, and the appearance inspection or direction detection of the preparation F can be performed, so that the use of the preparation transfer device 1 can be expanded or Changes in layout.
又，立起保持部22可作成使製劑F沿著相對於倒伏保持部23之底面23b傾斜之傾斜面28保持的構成，藉此可順利地接收來自供給筒10之製劑F，並且確實地進行從立起狀態往倒伏狀態之製劑F的姿勢變化。傾斜面28如本實施形態，宜相對於與方向限制筒20之旋轉軸正交之平面以預定之傾斜角度θ傾斜，藉此，可確實地進行從立起保持部22往倒伏保持部23之製劑F的移動。傾斜角度θ可以比0°大且比90°小之範圍進行適當設定，當傾斜角度θ過小時，迅速確實地進行從立起狀態往倒伏狀態之製劑F的姿勢變化變困難，另一方面當傾斜角度θ過大時，來自供給筒10之製劑F變得難以順利接收，故宜在45～75°之範圍。Further, the standing holding portion 22 can be configured to hold the preparation F along the inclined surface 28 inclined with respect to the bottom surface 23b of the lodging holding portion 23, whereby the preparation F from the supply cylinder 10 can be smoothly received, and can be surely performed. The posture of the preparation F from the standing state to the lodging state changes. In the present embodiment, the inclined surface 28 is inclined at a predetermined inclination angle θ with respect to a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the direction regulating cylinder 20, whereby the vertical holding portion 22 can be surely moved from the standing holding portion 22 to the lodging holding portion 23. Movement of Formulation F. The inclination angle θ can be appropriately set to be larger than 0° and smaller than 90°. When the inclination angle θ is too small, it is difficult to quickly and surely change the posture of the preparation F from the standing state to the lodging state. When the inclination angle θ is too large, the preparation F from the supply cylinder 10 becomes difficult to receive smoothly, and therefore it is preferably in the range of 45 to 75°.
從利用方向限制筒20進行搬送中之製劑F的姿勢變化來看，調整吸嘴42並非是必要的，但藉由調整吸嘴42進行保持在倒伏保持部23之製劑F的位置及姿勢的微調整，可更確實地實現製劑F之倒伏狀態。It is not necessary to adjust the nozzle 42 from the change in the posture of the preparation F during the conveyance by the direction restricting cylinder 20, but the position and posture of the preparation F held by the lodging holding portion 23 are adjusted by adjusting the suction nozzle 42. Adjustment, the lodging state of the preparation F can be more surely achieved.
