However, until now, when scraping the first packet from the dispensing tray, the point that powdered powder adheres to the surface opposite to the scraped surface (non-scratched surface) and is scraped together has not been considered. It was. In addition, the fact that the amount of the final package is reduced by the amount adhering to the non-scratched surface has not been considered. In this case, it may be possible to adjust the feeding amount of the distribution tray in consideration of the adhesion of powder on the non-scratched surface, but the adhesion situation varies depending on the type of powder, so it is possible to handle all powders. Impossible. Furthermore, if the scraping width dimension of the scraping plate is smaller than the scraping width dimension of the scraping plate, before scraping out the powder, rotate the dispensing tray in the reverse direction once to remove the final package medicine from the non-scratching surface. Therefore, the amount of powder adhering to the non-scratched surface increased, and the same error was generated. *
そこで、本発明は、分包量のばらつきを防止することのできる散薬掻出装置及び薬剤包装装置を提供することを課題とする。

Next, the operation of the medicine packaging apparatus having the above configuration will be described. *
まず、分配皿５の環状溝４に散薬を均等に供給した状態で、掻出部材１０を回動させ、掻寄板１２を環状溝４に圧接させることにより環状溝４内の散薬を分離する。掻寄板１２の外周縁にはシリコンからなる弾性体１５が一体化されているため、分配皿５に傷を付けることなく環状溝４内の散薬を適切に分離することができる。
First, the powder in the annular groove 4 is separated by rotating the scraping member 10 and pressing the scraping plate 12 against the annular groove 4 in a state where the powder is evenly supplied to the annular groove 4 of the distribution tray 5. . Since the elastic body 15 made of silicon is integrated with the outer peripheral edge of the scraping plate 12, the powder in the annular groove 4 can be appropriately separated without damaging the distribution tray 5. *
続いて、分配皿５を所定角度回転させた後、掻寄板１２及び掻出板１３を１回転させる。これにより、掻寄板１２によって掻き寄せられた散薬は、掻出板１３の掻出部１９によって１包分だけ分離され、掻出部（未図示）によって分配皿５から掻き出されて包装装置３にて包装される。
Subsequently, after rotating the distribution tray 5 by a predetermined angle, the scraping plate 12 and the scraping plate 13 are rotated once. Thus, the powder scraped by the scraping plate 12 is separated by one package by the scraping portion 19 of the scraping plate 13, and scraped out from the distribution tray 5 by the scraping portion (not shown). 3 *
以下、同様にして、分配皿５を所定ピッチずつ回転させる毎に、掻寄板１２及び掻出板１３を１回転させることにより、包装装置３にて１包分ずつ包装する。
In the same manner, each time the distribution tray 5 is rotated by a predetermined pitch, the scraping plate 12 and the scraping plate 13 are rotated once, so that the packaging device 3 packages one package. *
ところで、掻寄板１２の掻寄面１２ａに付着して包装されなかった散薬は、一連の掻出動作が終了し、掻出部材１０を待機位置に移動させた後、スクリューブラシ１６によって清掃される。一方、１包目の包装時、環状溝４内の散薬を掻寄板１２によって仕切って掻き寄せた際、掻寄板１２の非掻寄面１２ｂに散薬が付着するが、この非掻寄面１２ｂに付着した散薬は、防塵防止部材の弾性片３１の掻落縁３１ａが摺接することによって環状溝４へと掻き落とされる。したがって、最終包で掻寄板１２の非掻寄面１２ｂに付着した散薬分だけ分量が少なくなるといった不具合を防止することができる。また、掻落部材２５は、長期に亘る使用により弾性片３１の掻落縁３１ａが摩耗等すれば、保持部２４から取り外して簡単に新しいものと交換することができる。
By the way, the powder medicine that has adhered to the scraping surface 12a of the scraping plate 12 and has not been packaged is cleaned by the screw brush 16 after the series of scraping operations are completed and the scraping member 10 is moved to the standby position. The On the other hand, when packaging the first package, when the powder in the annular groove 4 is divided and scraped by the scratching plate 12, the powder adheres to the non-scratched surface 12b of the scratching plate 12. This non-scratched surface The powder adhering to 12b is scraped off into the annular groove 4 when the scraping edge 31a of the elastic piece 31 of the dust-proof preventing member comes into sliding contact. Therefore, it is possible to prevent such a problem that the amount is reduced by the amount of the powder adhering to the non-scratched surface 12b of the scraping plate 12 in the final package. Further, the scraping member 25 can be removed from the holding portion 24 and easily replaced with a new one if the scraping edge 31a of the elastic piece 31 is worn due to long-term use. *
なお、本発明は、前記実施形態に記載された構成に限定されるものではなく、種々の変更が可能である。
In addition, this invention is not limited to the structure described in the said embodiment, A various change is possible. *
例えば、掻落部材２５は、アーム部材１４に着脱可能としたが、別部材（例えば、分配皿５を支持する部位等）に着脱可能としてもよい。また、着脱可能ではなく、固定することも可能である。
For example, the scraping member 25 is detachable from the arm member 14, but may be detachable from another member (for example, a portion that supports the distribution tray 5). Further, it is not detachable but can be fixed. *
また、掻出板１３は掻寄板１２に一体化するようにしたが、別体として、別駆動するようにしても構わない。
Further, the scraping plate 13 is integrated with the scraping plate 12, but it may be driven separately as a separate body.
