Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a medicine package discharge module,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a module for dispensing medicine packed with medicines to the outside, which is employed in a medicament packing apparatus capable of automatically preparing medicines according to a prescription.

In recent years, a pharmaceutical packaging apparatus has been proposed in order to solve the problems caused by the manual packaging of medicines by the physician. Typically, a pharmaceutical packaging apparatus has a plurality of pharmaceutical cartridges arranged in a multi-stage arrangement on top thereof, and various types of medicines are contained in the pharmaceutical cartridges. The medicines contained in the medicament cartridges are selected according to the prescription signal by the computer operation of the user and discharged from the medicament cartridges one by one. Thereafter, the discharged medicines are gathered in the hopper and dropped, and they are packed in a packing portion installed in a lower space of the medicament packing apparatus.

The packaging unit is configured to pack the medicines in the wrapper by the following process. The medicines discharged from the hopper are put into the wrapping paper conveyed to the lower side of the hopper one by one. At this time, the wrapping paper is folded in half by the reverse triangular plate so that the upper portion of the hopper is opened. Then, the medicines are put into the wrapping paper in a dose amount through the upper opening of the wrapping paper. The medicines are supplied to the sealing mechanism for sealing in the state of being put in the wrapping paper. At this time, the sealing mechanism seals the upper opening of the wrapping paper and continuously seals the contents one dose at a time. Then, the medicines are made into a sealed package, and the medicines are delivered to the conveyor through the cutter, and then discharged to the outside by the conveyor. At this time, the cutter can cut the film by one day or several days.

In the above-described process, the wrapping paper is transported in an inclined state to the lower side of the hopper in the half-folded width so that the upper part is opened by the inverted triangular plate, and the drugs are fed from the hopper and transferred to the sealing mechanism. Thereafter, the medicines are transported in a state of approximately grape inclined in which the medicines are hermetically packed through a sealing mechanism. Thereafter, the medicine drop is redirected by the direction switching mechanism and transferred to the conveyor. At this time, the direction switching mechanism can switch the direction of the medicine can be transferred to the conveyor so that the medicine can be transported to the front side of the medicine packing apparatus by the conveyor and can be tilted upward.

However, according to the conventional art, since the direction switching mechanism and the conveyor are individually assembled to the pharmaceutical packaging apparatus, their positions may be changed when assembled or used for a long period of time. Further, the conveyor can be installed in the pharmaceutical packing apparatus so that the angle can be adjusted. If the angle of the conveyor is frequently adjusted, the position of the conveyor can be changed. As a result, it is possible to cause curling while the film is not properly entered into the conveyor through the direction switching mechanism. The curling of such packaging may cause packaging errors.

Registration Practical Utility Model No. 20-0251795 (published on November 23, 2001)

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a drug dispensing module of a medicament packing apparatus that can prevent the phenomenon of curling a medicament during a process of discharging medicines packed therein.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a drug dispensing module of a medicament wrapping apparatus comprising a support frame, a conveying guide, an entrance roller, a direction changing roller, a discharge guide, a rotation driving unit, and a control unit. The support frame is mounted on the pharmaceutical packaging apparatus. The transfer guide is formed in the support frame so as to guide the transfer of the medicine packed with the medicines according to the prescription in the pharmaceutical packaging apparatus. The entrance roller is rotatably supported by the support frame, and enters the bottle between the guide and the guide during the rotation operation. The direction changing roller is rotatably supported on the support frame, and supplies the medicine medicine, which is introduced by the entrance roller during the rotation operation, between the transfer guide and the direction changing direction. The discharge guide is integrated with the conveying guide, and is fed from the conveying guide and discharged to the outside. The rotation driving unit rotates the entry roller and the direction changing roller. The control unit controls the rotation driving unit.

According to the present invention, since the discharge guide for guiding the discharge of the feces to the outside can be integrated in the feces discharge module, positional displacement between the discharge guide and the direction changing roller can be prevented. Therefore, curling of the medicine foam entering the discharge guide via the direction switching roller can be prevented.

According to the present invention, since the cutter for cutting the medicine can be integrated into the medicine dispensing module before the medicine is transferred to the entry roller, positional displacement between the cutter and the entry roller can be prevented. Therefore, curling of the medicine foam that enters the entrance roller via the cutter can be prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a front view showing an example of a medicine packaging apparatus in which a drug discharge module according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed.

The medicine packing apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 selects and dispenses medicines from a plurality of medicament cartridges 11 in accordance with a prescription signal when a dispenser dispenses a prescription by computer operation. When the discharged medicines are collected by the hopper 12 through the discharge passage and drop, the medicament packing apparatus 10 packs the medicines in the lower part of the hopper 12 by the packing section.

For example, the packaging unit may pack the medicines discharged according to the prescription in the medicament packaging apparatus 10 into the wrapping paper P by the following process. The wrapping paper P is conveyed to the lower side of the hopper 12 by the wrapping paper supply mechanism 13. [ At this time, the wrapping paper P is thermally contacted with the print ribbon R by the printer 14, and various bibliographies such as the dosing time and dosing method are printed on the outer surface, And is fed to the lower side of the hopper 12 in an inclined state. In this state, the medicines are put into the wrapping paper P by the dosing amount through the upper opening of the wrapping paper P. Thereafter, the medicines are fed into the wrapping paper P in a state of being put in between the heating rollers 15, and the medicines for one-time dosing are hermetically packed in the wrapping paper P continuously by one pail by the heating rollers 15. Then, the medicine jug 20 sealed with the medicines is prepared, and then the medicine is discharged into the drug dispensing module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a front view of the drug discharge module shown in Fig. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a part of the drug discharge module in Fig. 2; Fig. Figure 4 is a side view of Figure 3; Figure 5 is a plan view of Figure 2;

2 to 5, the drug discharge module 100 includes a support frame 110, a conveyance guide 120, an entry roller 130, a direction switching roller 140, a discharge guide 150, A rotation driving unit 160, and a control unit 170.

The support frame 110 is mounted on the pharmaceutical packaging apparatus 10. The support frame 110 may be fixed in place in the pharmaceutical packaging apparatus 10. [ The transfer guide 120 is formed in the support frame 110 to guide the transfer of the medicines 20 packaged with the medicines according to prescription in the medicament packaging machine 10. The transport guide 120 may be formed to interact with the entry roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140 to guide the jug 20 to the discharge guide 150. Further, the transport guide 120 may be formed so as to guide the jar 20 on the upper transport surface. The transfer guide 120 may be separately manufactured and assembled to the support frame 110, but may be manufactured integrally with the support frame 110.

The entrance roller 130 is rotatably supported by the support frame 110. The entrance roller 130 is disposed on the upper side of the conveyance guide 120, and one end can be rotatably supported by the roller bracket 111. The entrance roller 130 enters the jug 20 between the guide 120 and the conveying guide 120 during a rotation operation. When the jar 20 is transferred between the entrance roller 130 and the transfer guide 120, the entrance roller 130 rotates while contacting the jar 20. At this time, the rotation direction of the entry roller 130 is set so that the fingernail 20 can enter between the entrance roller 130 and the transfer guide 120. Therefore, the jersey 20 can easily enter between the entrance roller 130 and the conveyance guide 120 by receiving the conveyance force by the entrance roller 130. The entry roller 130 can be rotated by the rotation driving unit 160. [

The entry roller 130 can be wrapped around the roller shaft 131 by the buffer part 132. For example, the buffer part 132 may be made of a sponge material or the like. Therefore, the medicine 20 can be buffered when it passes between the entrance roller 130 and the conveyance guide 120, so that the medicines in the medicine 20 can be prevented from being broken.

The direction changing roller 140 is rotatably supported by the support frame 110. The orientation roller 140 is disposed closer to the exit guide 150 than the entry roller 130. The direction changing roller 140 is disposed on the upper side of the conveying guide 120 and one end can be rotatably supported by the roller bracket 111. The direction changing roller 140 feeds the foam film 20, which is advanced by the entry roller 130 during the rotation operation, to the transfer guide 120 and changes direction.

For example, if the dispenser allows more convenient reception of the feces 20 in front of the pharmaceutical packaging apparatus 10, the dispensing guide 150 may have its outlet positioned ahead of the inlet. Further, the discharge guide 150 may be disposed so as to be inclined such that the outlet is located higher than the inlet. However, the width of the jar 20 to be conveyed through the heating rollers 15 may not be aligned with the width direction of the discharge guide 150. The direction changing roller 140 switches the direction of the feces 20 so that the width direction of the feces 20 is aligned with the width direction of the discharge guide 150. Accordingly, the medicine jug 20 can be conveyed so that its large surface is placed on the upper discharge surface of the discharge guide 150, and then transported toward the front side of the medicine packing apparatus 10, while being tilted upward.

When the jar 20 is conveyed between the direction changing roller 140 and the conveying guide 120, the direction changing roller 140 rotates while contacting the jar 20. At this time, the direction of rotation of the direction changing roller 140 is set so that the feces 20 can be turned and transferred to the discharge guide 150. Therefore, the medicine jar 20 can be redirected and easily conveyed to the discharge guide 150 by receiving the conveying force by the direction changing roller 140. [ The direction changing roller 140 can be rotated by the rotation driving unit 160.

The roller 140 may be wrapped around the roller shaft 141 by the buffer 142. For example, the buffer part 142 may be made of a sponge material or the like. Therefore, the medicine 20 can be buffered when it passes between the direction changing roller 140 and the conveyance guide 120, so that the medicines in the medicine 20 can be prevented from being broken.

The discharge guide 150 receives the medicine foam 20, which has been redirected by the direction switching roller 140, from the transfer guide 120 and discharges it to the outside. The discharge guide 150 is integrated with the transfer guide 120. For example, the discharge guide 150 may include a swash plate 151 and side plates 152. The swash plate 151 may extend from the outlet end of the conveying guide 120 so that the upper discharge surface is continuous with the upper conveying surface of the conveying guide 120. In addition, the swash plate 151 may be inclined upward. The jug 20 can smoothly enter the entrance of the swash plate 151 through the exit of the conveying guide 120 and then be inclined upwardly along the upper exit surface of the swash plate 151. [ The side plates 152 are disposed on the left and right sides of the swash plate 151, respectively. The side plates 152 can prevent the jug 20 discharged along the upper discharge surface of the swash plate 151 from being released to the left and right sides.

In this way, the discharge guide 150 can be integrated with the transfer guide 120 by extending the swash plate 151 from the transfer guide 120. Accordingly, the discharge guide 150 in the drug discharge module 100 can be fixed at a position set with respect to the direction changing roller 140. Therefore, even when the dispenser discharging module 100 is assembled to the medicine packing apparatus 10 or when the dispenser discharging module 100 is used for a long time, the position between the dispensing guide 150 and the direction changing roller 140 is not changed . Further, the dispensing position of the dispensing guide 150 may not be changed. Therefore, since the feces 20 can smoothly enter the discharge guide 150 through the direction switching roller 140, curling of the feces 20 can be prevented. As a result, wrapping errors due to curling of the feces 20 can be prevented.

The rotation driving unit 160 rotates the entry roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140. The control unit 170 controls the rotation driving unit 160. The rotation driving unit 160 may be configured to rotate the entry roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140 in conjunction with each other. For example, the rotation driving unit 160 may include a rotation motor 161, first, second, and third pulleys 162a, 162b, 162c, and first and second belts 163a, 163b .

The first pulley 162a is coaxially coupled to the rotary shaft of the rotary motor 161. [ The second pulley 162b is coaxially coupled to the entry roller 130. [ The third pulley 162c is coaxially coupled to the direction changing roller 140. [ The first belt 163a passes over the first pulley 162a and the second pulley 162b to transmit the rotational force of the first pulley 162a to the second pulley 162b. The second belt 163b is passed over the second pulley 162b and the third pulley 162c to transmit the rotational force of the second pulley 162b to the third pulley 162c. Therefore, when the rotary shaft of the rotary motor 161 rotates, the entry roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140 can rotate together with each other.

In addition, the rotation driving unit 160 may include an encoder (not shown). The encoder may be installed to detect the number of revolutions of either the entrance roller 130 or the direction changing roller 140. The control unit 170 may control the rotation motor 161 based on the information detected by the encoder of the rotation driving unit 160 to adjust the rotation speed of the entry roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140 to a predetermined speed.

4, the drug dispensing module 100 may include a vision device 101 for photographing the medicine dispenser 20 to be discharged along the discharge guide 150. As shown in FIG. The vision device 101 may be installed above the discharge guide 150. The vision device 101 may be constituted by a camera or the like. The vision device 101 can photograph the fingernail 20 and provide it to the control unit 170. [ For example, the vision device 101 may photograph the shape and color of medicines in the collagen 20 and provide it to the control unit 170. The control unit 170 may compare the information photographed by the vision device 101 with predetermined information to finally determine whether the medicines of the pharmaceutical preparation 20 are normally prepared for one dose. At this time, the control unit 170 can determine whether or not foreign substances are mixed in the medicines 20, whether cracks have occurred in the medicines in tablet form, and the like. If it is determined that there is a dispensing error, the control unit 170 can warn the dispenser by an alarm or the like.

Alternatively, the vision device 101 may photograph a portion printed on the outer surface of the chemical container 20 and provide the image to the control unit 170. [ The control unit 170 can compare the information photographed by the vision apparatus 101 with predetermined information to determine a printing error. At this time, the vision device 101 may photograph the barcode printed on the outer surface of the feces 20 and provide the barcode to the control unit 170. If the barcode photographed by the vision device 101 is not recognized or is different from the predetermined barcode, the control unit 170 can determine that there is a printing error of the barcode.

As another example, although not shown, a bar code reader for reading a bar code printed on the outer surface of the medicine bag 20 can be used. The bar code reader may be configured to include a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) sensor. The barcode reader can provide the read barcode to the control unit. The control unit can determine the printing error of the bar code as described above. When the bar code is printed on the upper surface of the collars 20, the bar code reader can be installed above the discharge guide 150. When the bar code is printed on the lower surface of the medicine dropping container 20, the bar code reader can be installed on the lower side of the discharge guide 150. In this case, the discharge guide 150 may have a transparent window. The transparent window is formed so as to correspond to the barcode printed on the lower surface of the medicine film 20 when the medicine 20 is discharged. Therefore, the barcode reader can read the barcode printed on the bottom surface of the medicine collar 20 through the transparent window. The transparent window may have a shape in which a through hole is formed in the discharge guide 150 and a transparent member is attached to the through hole.

And a chemical detection unit 102 may be installed at the exit of the direction switching roller 140. The fire detection unit 102 senses the fire gun 20 and provides the sensed fire gun 20 to the control unit 170. For example, the chemical detection unit 102 may be an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor may include a transmitter for transmitting ultrasonic waves and a receiver for receiving ultrasonic waves. It is possible to detect the foam 20 according to whether the ultrasonic wave transmitted from the transmitter is reflected by the foam 20 and is received by the receiver. In this case, even if the collar 20 is made of a transparent material, the ultrasonic sensor can sense the collar 20.

The control unit 170 may determine whether the chemical drops 20 have been discharged from the direction switching roller 140 based on the information provided from the chemical detection unit 102. [ For example, the medicine jar 20, which is packed continuously with one medicine, is cut by the cutter 190 for one day or a few days, and is transported to the discharge guide 150, or the final wrapped end is cut off, 150). The control unit 170 determines whether the spray 20 is detected within the set time from when the cut space of the spray 20 is detected by the spray detection unit 102. [ The control unit 170 may determine that the foam 20 is finally discharged from the direction switching roller 140 if the foam 20 is not detected within the set time from when the cut space of the foam 20 is sensed .

The control unit 170 may control the rotation driving unit 160 to stop driving when it is determined that the chemical drops 20 have been discharged from the direction switching roller 140. [ Therefore, after the completion of the preparation by the medicine packing apparatus 10, the rotation driving unit 160 is prevented from being unnecessarily driven, and the power saving effect can be obtained.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the discharge guide 150 may be provided with at least one discharge roller 156. As the discharge roller 156 is rotationally driven on the upper side of the discharge guide 150, the discharge rollers 156 transport the foam film 20 on the discharge guide 150 in the discharge direction. When the medicine fountain 20 is transferred between the discharge roller 156 and the discharge guide 150, the discharge roller 156 rotates while abutting against the feces 20. At this time, the rotation direction of the discharge roller 156 is set so that the feces 20 can be transported in the discharge direction. Therefore, the feces 20 can be conveyed in the discharge direction by being supplied with the conveying force by the discharge roller 156. The discharge roller 156 can be wrapped around the roller shaft with the buffer.

One end of the discharge roller 156 can be rotatably supported by the side plate 152 of the discharge guide 150. And can be rotationally driven by the roller driving unit 157. [ When two or more discharge rollers 156 are provided, the discharge rollers 156 can be rotated and driven by the roller driving unit 157. [

The roller driving unit 157 may include a rotating motor 157a, a driving pulley 157b, a driven pulley 157c, a driving belt 157d, and a driven belt 157e. The drive pulley 157b is installed coaxially with the rotary shaft of the rotary motor 157a. The driven pulleys 157c are coaxially installed on the discharge rollers 156, respectively. The drive belt 157d is stretched over the drive pulley 157b and the driven pulley 157c. A driven belt 157e spans the driven pulleys 157c. The discharge rollers 156 may be rotationally driven by receiving the rotational force from the rotational driving unit 160 described above.

Meanwhile, the drug discharge module 100 may include a tension sensing unit 180 disposed between the entry roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140. Referring to FIGS. 8 to 10, the tension sensing unit 180 senses the tension of the jar 20 passing between the entrance roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140. For example, the tension sensing unit 180 may include a sensing roller 181, a pivot lever 182, a lever elastic member 183, and a lever position detection unit 184.

The sensing roller 181 is arranged so that the jug 20 can pass between the entrance roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140. The pivot lever 182 rotatably supports the sensing roller 181 at one end and is pivotably hinged to the roller bracket 111 at the other end. The pivot lever 182 is positioned at a position where the length of the jug 20 located between the entrance roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140 is shortened while the sensing roller 181 is in contact with the jug 20, As shown in Fig. 3B, pulled by the eye drop 20 to pivot.

The lever elastic member 183 applies an elastic force to the pivot lever 182 in a direction opposite to the direction in which the pivot lever 182 is pulled. The lever elastic member 183 may be a coil spring or a torsion spring. The lever position detecting section 184 can be installed so as to detect the position of the pivot lever 182 when the jumping bottle 20 positioned between the entry roller 130 and the direction changing roller 140 has a set tension . The lever position detector 184 may be constituted by an optical position sensor or the like. The lever position detector 184 may be configured to detect the pivot angle of the pivot lever 182 and the position thereof.

The control unit 170 controls the rotation driving unit 160 to adjust the feeding speed of the jar 20 by the entrance roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140 based on the information sensed by the tension sensing unit 180 . This makes it possible to maintain the tension of the jug 20 passing between the entrance roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140 at a predetermined tension.

For example, when the delivery of the medicine 20 by the heating rollers 15 is temporarily stopped in the process of loading medicines from the hopper 12 into the wrapping paper P, the entrance roller 130 and the direction changing roller 140 The tension of the jar 20 can be increased. At this time, if it is determined that the tension of the foam film 20 is larger than the set tension, the control unit 170 may control the rotation driving unit 160 to lower the feeding speed of the foam film 20 so as to match the set tension. Therefore, tearing of the pharmaceutical film 20 can be prevented. Or when the tension of the capsule 20 passing between the entrance roller 130 and the direction switching roller 140 changes as the amount of the medicine wrapped in the capsule 20 increases or decreases, 20 can be adjusted to the set tension by controlling the rotation driving unit 160 so as to adjust the feeding speed of the foam collar 20. Therefore, tearing and curling of the fingernail 20 can be prevented.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the cutter 190 may be mounted on the support frame 110. Accordingly, the cutter 190 can be integrated into the drug discharge module 100. The cutter 190 cuts the jug 20 in a predetermined amount before the jug 20 is fed to the conveying guide 120. The cutter 190 is integrated with the drug dispensing module 100 so that the cutter 190 can be easily assembled to the drug packaging device 10 when assembling the drug dispensing module 100 to the drug packaging device 10 or when using the drug dispensing module 100 for a long time. The position between the entry rollers 130 may not be changed. Further, the delivery position of the delivery guide 120 with respect to the cutter 190 may not be changed. When the feces 20 is cut by the cutter 190, the feces 20 is divided into leading and trailing jars based on the cut region. At this time, after the trailing medicine drop passes through the cutter 190, it can smoothly enter the conveyance guide 10 through the entrance roller 130, so that curling of the medicine drop 20 can be prevented.

11, the cutter 190 may include a cutter frame 191, a fixed cutter blade 192, a movable cutter blade 193, and a linear drive mechanism 194 . The cutter frame 191 may be fixed to the support frame 110. The cutter frame 191 may have a structure in which a through hole 191a for passing the foam 20 inserted between the fixed cutter blade 192 and the moving cutter blade 193 is formed.

The fixed cutter blade 192 is fixed to the cutter frame 191. The movable cutter blade 193 is arranged to pass the foam paper 20 between the fixed cutter blade 192 and the through hole 191a. The movable cutter blade 193 linearly moves toward the fixed cutter blade 192 and cuts the paper 20 as it crosses the fixed cutter blade 192. The linear drive mechanism 194 linearly moves the movable cutter blade 193.

The linear drive mechanism 194 may include a moving block 195, sliders 196, guide rails 197, and an actuator 198. The moving block 195 mounts and supports the movable cutter blade 193. The sliders 196 are spaced apart from each other and fixed to the moving block 195. The guide rails 197 guide the sliders 196 linearly and are fixed to the cutter frame 191. The actuator 198 moves the moving block 195 linearly.

The actuator 198 may include a rotary motor 198a, a cam 198b, and an elastic member 198c for a moving block. The rotary motor 198a is mounted on the cutter frame 191. [ The cam 198b is eccentrically fixed to the rotary shaft of the rotary motor 198a. The cam 198b linearly moves the moving block 195 as it rotates in contact with the moving block 195. [ The elastic member 198c for the moving block maintains the moving block 195 in contact with the cam 198b by an elastic force. Therefore, the moving block 195 becomes linearly movable in accordance with the rotation of the cam 198b. The linear drive mechanism 194 may include a position sensor (not shown) for sensing the position of the moving cutter blade 193.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation and that those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications and equivalent arrangements may be made therein. It will be possible. Accordingly, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be determined only by the appended claims.
