In WO 2010/060568 A2, a hand-operated dosing device is disclosed, which comprises a container with a storage compartment and a dispensing area as well as a supply unit connecting the storage compartment and the dispensing area. The supply unit is used for supplying individual units of medication to the dispensing area. The supply unit is made up of a supply wheel with supply bags, which during its rotation takes up a unit of medication in the bags and supplies it to the dispensing area. The supply wheel is electronically driven by a motor during rotation.

The known dosing devices for solid pharmaceutical dosage forms and other solid bodies are however in dosing a certain number of solid body units either not very reliable or require a substantial effort in their production, use and disposal. In particular, the dosing device from WO 2010/060568 A2 requires an electronic control and a motor drive, so that the feed unit can be operated. As a result, the use and also the disposal after use of this dosing device is laborious and expensive. Furthermore, the manner of dispensing solid body portions by the known devices and methods is especially uncertain when mini and micro tablets or (micro-)globuli are to be administered in a defined larger number, as there can be a risk of a dosage error. The dosing of solid body portions with the known devices also requires that they are filled from a primary packaging, for example a tablet stock container, into the device. Such filling into a dosing container, however, can lead to deterioration of the quality of the pharmaceutical dosage units.

Further dosing devices are known from WO 89/01448 A1. In this context, the present invention is based on the task of finding a device and a process for the safe and comfortable dispensing of solid portions, which is also to be simple to set up and to construct, and which should also allow that solid portions located in a primary packaging do not have to be transferred into a separate device for dispensing. The process should also be simple and easy to carry out. Finally, the invention is preferably intended to guarantee that solid portions located in a primary packaging do not have to be transferred into a separate device for dispensing.

The present task is solved by means of an invention embodiment according to a first aspect of the present invention with an invention embodiment for individually dosing powder portions according to claim 1. The invention embodiment comprises at least two components, wherein one first component comprises a separating device and a second component comprises a separately rotatable separating device opposite the separating device. Each of these components can be made up of multiple components. The invention embodiment can be made for taking up the powder portions. One component of the invention embodiment, namely the separating device, has an interior. An interior space in the invention embodiment that can take up the powder portions at least partially can be formed by the interior of the separating device.The conveying chamber of the dosing device may be formed at least partly by other building parts in the dosing device. At the inner wall of the partition device, at least one chamber or at least one basin is provided for the reception of a single solid portion. The chamber is movable in a movement direction and on a movement path through the conveying through a rotation of the partition device relative to the separating device. By the movement of the chamber through the conveying, a single solid portion is taken up in the chamber. It is assumed that the solid portions are also moved by the rotation of the partition device, so that the solid portions located at the inner wall of the partition device are moved to a position and orientation suitable for reception in the chamber.The other part of the dosiering apparatus is the separating unit, which separates the material from one chamber to another. This separating unit extends parallel to one section of the moving rail up to an area above the discharge (while holding the apparatus during the operation, i.e. in the operating position of the apparatus), so that the at least one chamber on the rail section is closed in relation to the inner area or inner space. This way, the solid portion contained in the chambers does not fall out of the chambers during the rotation. In the direction of movement, the conveying path is connected to the rail section for taking up the falling solid portion from the chambers and for taking out the taken-up solid portion from the inner area orThe inner space of this transfer path can especially be a part of the disconnection device. The transfer path is preferably in a fixed spatial relationship to the section of the chamber above the chute and to the disconnection device, so that the solid portion that emerges from the chambers can be transferred to the transfer path without problems. It is essential that the axis of the unitizing device is vertically to the longitudinal axis of the pre-processing.

The present task is also resolved by the invention according to a second aspect of the present invention by means of the invention-appropriate method for dispensing the granular parts forming the bulk according to claim 13. This method uses the apparatus according to claim 1 and comprises the following process steps in a general sense: (a) First, the bulk of the granular parts is provided, so that the bulk is at least partly located in the interior area of the granulation equipment of the invention-appropriate dispensing apparatus; for example, the dispensing apparatus may be connected to a primary packaging, for example, a storage container, such as a tablet bottle, in which the bulk of the granular parts is located, in which at least a part of the bulk comes into contact with the interior area of the granulation equipment; for example, the dispensing apparatus may be adapted to(d) The first portion is a first dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion. The first portion is a dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion. The first portion comprises a primary pack with a dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion. The first portion comprises a primary pack with a dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion. The first portion comprises a primary pack with a dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion. The first portion comprises a primary pack with a dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion. The first portion comprises a primary pack with a dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion. The first portion comprises a primary pack with a dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion. The first portion comprises a primary pack with a dosing device for filling a primary pack with a solid portion and a liquid portion.(c) Through the rotation (especially rotation), the chambers filled with each a portion of the solid body are taken out one after another from the pouring stream. (d) The chambers filled with each a portion of the solid body are emptied out of the pouring stream after each being taken out, and the solid body portions are conveyed to a conveying path. For example, the solid body portions which have arrived at the conveying path can be led out from the internal area of the unit installation.

The invention is particularly suited for dosing and isolating mini- and microtablets and globuli. Mini- and microtablets are tablets with a size (a diameter) of 1 to 3 mm. They typically have convex upper and lower sides. The ratio of their height to their diameter is usually in a range of 1 to 1.5. The invention features a simple construction with few parts. Despite its simplicity, it enables a very safe dispensing of solid portions from a pouring of these portions.

The present invention relates to a dosing aid for solid portions, in particular for mini- and microtablets and globuli, for achieving a controlled granulation and dosing of the solid portions. By means of the present invention, a defined number of solid portions can be individually, counted and dosed. Preferably, the construction group of the present invention externally has a great similarity to a conventional lid for a tablet bottle (if the dosing device is connected to the storage container to granulate and dose the contained solid portions) or with a conventional tablet bottle and its lid (if the dosing device is used without a storage container). For example, the dosing device can instead of a lid be mounted on the bottle or another storage container. The dosing device forms a dosing aid and can therefore be sold and used separately or together with a filled tablet bottle. The present invention can instead of a lid be connected to the storage container.

The concentration device is preferably embodied in the form of a body which is essentially rotationally symmetric, and which preferably has an essentially rotationally symmetric interior region. The concentration device may, for example, be embodied in the form of a drum or a wheel or a ring or a circulating band. However, it is not necessary for the concentration device to be rotationally symmetric for the purposes of the present invention. It is also conceivable that a construction solution with a concentration device which is not rotationally symmetric and which has an interior region and chambers which open into the interior region for receiving the solid portions, wherein the chambers can be moved by the discharge, wherein the solid portions taken in by the chambers are prevented from falling out of the concentration device on the succeeding belt section, and wherein the solid portions can reach the conveying path after leaving the belt section. For example, it would be conceivable that the chambers lie on a segment of a circle and that they run a circular route upon rotation of the concentration device.

The separate installation and the separating installation are preferably connected to each other by a form-fitting connection, for example by means of a coupling. For example, the receiving installation (see below) may have an arm with a clamping nose, which extends to the separate installation by means of a clamping spring and rests against the front part of the separating installation, thereby also holding it in place by clamping it between itself and the separate installation. Alternatively, the separating installation may be formed by two connected structural elements between which the separate installation is inserted in the assembled state.

优选地，接收固定部分的室位于组合机构的内侧。当组合机构围绕旋转轴旋转时，优选地，旋转轴可以是基本上旋转对称的空心体、轮或环的旋转轴，室沿着围绕旋转轴的运动轨迹移动。对于空心体，固定部分(至少也)形成一个倾泻物，并且例如沿着长度方向填充它，即基本上平行于旋转轴，优选地(在发明装置的操作位置)倾斜至水平面，直至特定水平。另外，空心体的内区域在使用中也可以填充至特定水平。例如，旋转轴可以位于分离设备上，即基本上水平或稍微倾斜于水平。在旋转过程中，房间通过卸料，因此每次从一个房间取出固体物料部分。在旋转分离设备时，然后将房间从卸料区取出并运送到输送区，使得房间内包含的固体物料部分到达输送区。为了防止从卸料区取出房间后固体物料部分从房间中掉落，位于卸料区上方的分离设备与轨道段相对。the chambers on this railway section are closed. In order that this separating device may close the chambers on a defined railway section, this device is not moved with the chambers of the grouping device, and therefore is a part of the second building section, namely the separating device, opposite the grouping device is turned when used with the dosing device. The separating device is not moved when used accordingly, while the grouping device is turned.

The function of the segregation equipment is to segregate the solid parts from each other. The function of the separation equipment is to separate the solid parts in the chambers from the discharge and hold them in the chambers so that they do not fall back into the discharge.

In addition, the transport facility indicates the transport route by which the portions of the solid material contained in the compartments are transported out of the inner area of the segregation facility. These portions reach the transport route above the railway section in which the segregation facility extends along the movement path of the compartments. The place where the portions reach the transport route can be chosen differently: in the usage position of the dosing preliminary facility, this place can be located near the zenith or at the zenith of the rotational movement. In this case, the solid material portion can fall onto the transport route under the influence of gravity. This, of course, presupposes that the segregation facility extends up to this point or at least up to its vicinity, in order to prevent the premature falling of the solid material portion out of the compartments. The transport route is preferably conical at the end where the portions enter this, to ensure that the solid material portions can safely enter this. The conical opening or ramp merges seamlessly into the transport route. The transport route leads out of the inner area of the segregation facility, for example, in a substantially axial or radial direction.

In a preferred further education of the present invention, the conveying path merges into a container for the reception and counting of the solid portion. To this end, a separate catching arrangement can form or indicate the container. The container can preferably have a long cavity for the reception of the individual solid portions and especially be formed in the form of a dosing pipe. The long cavity can be preferably arranged vertically or at a small angle (maximum ± 30°) to the vertical in the use position of the dosing arrangement. The conveying path merges into the cavity. For example, the catching arrangement can be arranged at a front side of the dosing arrangement with the container. Thus, a compact construction form of the present invention dosing arrangement is enabled. The solid portions can be easily extracted from the container. The solid portions are collected in the container, so that an operator can count the solid portions that are released therefrom. Thus, a safe dosing of the portions is enabled. For this purpose, the container is formed such that the operator can visually perceive the solid portions in the cavity.

To further ensure that the user can easily count the solid portions in the container, this is trained in a further preferred further development of the present invention to allow stacking of the solid portions individually and on top of each other. For this purpose, the container is preferably trained to a receiving pit in a cylindrical manner. The pipe diameter corresponds to this preferably approximately to the diameter of the solid portions and is slightly larger than the diameter of the solid portions, so that these are necessarily stacked on top of each other and stored. Thus, a simple counting by the user is possible. For example, the container may have a slit in its wall, so that the user can recognize the contained solid portions. However, it is preferred that the container is formed from a transparent material, through which the solid portions are easily visible from the outside.

本发明的进一步发展还包括，设在捕集器上的计量标尺，通过该标尺捕集器内的固态物料部分的数目可读。该标尺上的刻度标记每刻度表示捕集器内包含的固态物料部分的一个或一组，例如一组五个或十个或更多个固态物料部分。通过该标尺，捕集器内的固态物料部分的数目一眼即可辨识，无需费力地和容易出错地数出。

In a further preferred further training of the present invention, a deformable, for example, shiftable, ability-separating device, for example, a rider, is attached to or in the receiver. The ability-separating device may be externally extended and only mark the filling height with the solid body portions or be inserted into the dosing tube, for example, from below, so that the available space is limited. With this arrangement, a desired dosage of a certain number of solid body portions can be set or at least simplified to be read by the user. The user positions this ability-separating device at or in the receiver at the desired location, which marks a certain filling level of the receiver with the solid body portions, and can then easily and at a glance see when dosing the solid body portions with the inventive dosing unit whether the desired number of solid body portions is in the receiver.

In a further preferred further training of the present invention, the catcher also provides an outlet opening for taking out the contained solid portions. This outlet opening is located either at the dosing device's working position at the top or bottom of the catcher. If the catcher is elongated, the outlet opening is either at the top or bottom. The outlet opening is used to take out the solid portions at the working position. The outlet opening for taking out the solid portions is preferably widened outward, thus forming a flow guide. If the catcher is open at the bottom, a portion stop is provided to prevent the solid portions from falling out of the catcher (at the working position) at the bottom. After the desired number of solid portions have been taken out, the portion stop is released (at the delivery position), so that the solid portions can fall out and thus be taken out.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the receiver is arranged in the setup in a swiveling manner, preferably around a horizontal axis in the essential setup of the setup, wherein the receiver is in an operating position for separating the solid portion and conveying it into the receiver in a middle swiveling position and for operating the setup for left-handers or right-handers in each of the delivery positions for dispensing the solid portion from the setup in a first lateral swiveling position, which is swiveled relative to the operating position in a first swivel direction, or in a second lateral swiveling position, which is swiveled relative to the operating position in a second swivel direction, where the first and second lateral swiveling positions are preferably opposed to each other. With this preferred embodiment, the dosing setup is both for left- and for right-handers operable. The receiver has to be swiveled only with the corresponding hand from the middle swivel position into the corresponding lateral swivel position in order to dispense the contained solid portions. The swivel point around which the receiver is swiveled is preferably located in an upper area of the receiver in the essential setup of the dosing setup.

In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, above the receiver, a bypass for the solid portions is provided, over which these can flow. This bypass is connected to the transport way from the chambers to the receiver, so that the solid portions also flow to the bypass when transported to the receiver. With this embodiment, it is prevented that the solid portions are blocked when transported to the receiver, if it is already completely filled. Furthermore, by a (maximum) capacity of the receiver for a certain number of solid portions, it is achieved in this way that this (maximum) number of solid portions is always precisely dosed out, without taking into account the filling process, because surplus solid portions are automatically fed back for discharge.

In the embodiment, both the segregating device and the separating device each have a rotation axis, but these do not coincide. Instead, one axis stands vertically on the other. The movement path of at least one chamber is preferably in one plane. The plane is preferably parallel to the axis of the separating device.

In a further preferred further development of the present invention, at least one compartment of the segregation facility is preferably formed by a recess at the inner side (inner wall) of the segregation facility. The compartments are preferably approximately equally large as the solid portions and have approximately the shape of the solid portions, so that each compartment can only contain exactly one solid portion. The compartments are preferably slightly larger, i.e. their respective base and the cross section perpendicular thereto are each, for example, about 10% larger than those of the solid portions.

If the uniting arrangement comprises more than one chambers, these are preferably arranged in one plane, which is particularly preferred for the operation of the dosing pre-arrangement in the space. The chambers are further preferably regularly arranged, i.e. with equal intervals between adjacent chambers (or with equal angle intervals relative to a rotational axis of the uniting arrangement),. If the uniting arrangement is formed by a wheel or a ring with an essentially rotationally symmetrical inner surface or at least with a rotationally symmetrical section of the inner surface as well as with more than one chambers in this rotationally symmetrical inner surface or this rotationally symmetrical section, the chambers may preferably lie on a plane that cuts the inner surface or the section perpendicular to the rotational axis of the wheel or ring, i.e. on a circumferential line of the inner surface or the section. The chambers move in this case on a fixed circular motion path, wherein they are, due to a rotation of the arrangement on this motion path through the pouring of the solid portion, moved in a substantially horizontal rotational axis of the uniting arrangement and take up a solid portion. This also applies when the uniting arrangement is a hollow body with an essentially cylindrical inner wall or at least with a cylindrical section of the inner wall as well as with more than one chambers in this inner wall or in this section.

In a further preferred further development of the present invention, areas are formed on the inner side of the unit arrangement device by pass areas for the solid portion, which are located between the chambers. The pass areas extend from a high level over a chamber bottom of the respective first chamber to a low level over a chamber bottom of a second chamber, which is adjacent to the first chamber in the rotation direction of the unit arrangement device. Thus, ramps are formed along the pass areas between each two adjacent chambers. In this way, it is prevented by rotation of the unit arrangement device that two solid portions simultaneously try to enter a chamber, although the chamber size is not sufficient for this: In the caseIf this further development would not be realized, these two would block the further twisting of the unit installation in relation to the separating installation at the entrance to the chamber, so that an increased twisting moment would lead to squeezing or even destruction of the additional solid portion. For in this case this solid portion would be squeezed between an abscission edge at the entrance to the chamber and the already located first solid portion in the chamber. With the present development of the invention, however, it is prevented that, if already a first solid portion is located in a chamber, following solid portions can hook behind this first solid portion. The following solid portions are instead led over the occupied chamber.

The running surfaces between adjacent chambers can run preferentially in a straight line along the path that leads to the single-bed institution from the inside. The ramp-forming running surfaces drop between the chambers in the direction of rotation. This way, the depth of the chambers is different on each side of the chambers: on the chamber side where the running surface level above the chamber bottom is high, this level is preferably above a portion of the solid body contained in the chamber, i.e. the depth of the chamber is greater on this chamber side than the diameter of the solid body portions, preferably up to 10% of the diameter. On the other chamber side, where the running surface level above the chamber bottom is low,This level is located at a height of approximately two thirds of the diameter of the solid portions above the chamber sole. If the solid portions, for example, bodies with convex (lens-shaped) outer surfaces on both sides are present, this level is preferably located at a height of the transition from the convex outer surface in the operating position above to the remaining body of a body portion in the chamber. Furthermore, the length of the running surface (slope) between two adjacent chambers is preferably at least equal to the diameter of the solid portion. The length can, for example, be up to twenty times, preferably ten times, or even up to seven times, or even up to five times, the diameter of the solid portion.对应的，理想地，这个长度大约是直径的三倍。

In a further preferred further training of the present invention, the separating device is formed by a separation wall. This separation wall extends along the movement path of the chambers on a section that extends above the discharge of the solid portions until before a location on the movement path from which the solid portions enter the conveying path. The separation wall is preferably curved. The separation wall forms a circular section with a rotationally symmetric or cylindrical inner wall or inner wall section. Preferably, the separation wall is formed cylindrical on the section. The separation wall is preferably located at a small distance from the chambers on their movement path. Basically, the separation wall can also lie without a distance on the inner wall or inner wall of the separation device, so that the inner wall or inner wall and the separation wall move in contact with each other. The separation wall is preferably about as wide as the chambers, i.e. it is slightly wider, slightly narrower or exactly as wide as the chambers. Essentially, it is only important that the separation wall prevents the falling out of the solid portions from the chambers. Instead of a separation wall, a barrier with a different form than a wall can also be used as a separating device. It is conceivable a curved walkway or a curved rod.

In a further preferred training of the present invention, the invention-compliant dosing arrangement is adapted to be connected to a reservoir container for the solid portion, for example, either the partitioning device or the separation device in the form of an adapter for connecting the dosing arrangement to the reservoir container, for example, over its discharge nozzle, is provided. Alternatively, another component of the dosing arrangement may be provided for this purpose. This allows the immediate use of the reservoir container for delivering the solid portion to the invention-compliant dosing arrangement. Thus, they need not be filled into a separate container, for example, which could be formed, for example, by the inner space of the invention-compliant dosing arrangement. The invention-compliant dosing arrangement is placed on the reservoir container in this case instead of a lid and connected to this. The dosing arrangement may be connected to the user either after the removal of the lid with the discharge opening or is already delivered to the user connected to the dosing arrangement instead of the lid with the discharge opening.

In all the above-mentioned cases, the discharge opening of the storage container is typically sealed with a sealing foil that represents a steam and oxygen barrier, for example by hot pressing the foil onto the opening, in order to protect the solid components during transport and storage against unsuitable conditions (long-term protection). When connecting the invention-disposed dosing arrangement to the discharge opening subsequently, this sealing foil is removed, for example by pulling, before the dosing arrangement is mounted. Especially then, when the dosing arrangement is already mounted on the discharge opening and delivered to the user, this sealing foil should protect the solid components against unsuitable conditions during transport and storage. In this case, the dosing arrangement is mounted over the sealed discharge opening. Therefore, the sealing foil must be removed before the first use. To this end, the dosing arrangement is first removed from the storage container, the sealing foil is then removed, and finally the dosing arrangement is again mounted on the storage container.

For the installation of the dosing unit with the discharge opening of the stock container, this can be shown as an adapter thread, preferably an internal thread, which can be located on one of the construction elements of the dosing unit, for example, on the joint unit or on the separation unit or on another construction part. The discharge nozzle of the stock container has a thread, preferably an outer thread. The stock containers typically have an outer thread, on which a lid can be screwed. Instead of the lid, the dosing unit is then screwed on. Instead of a screw connection between the dosing unit and the stock container, another connection technology, for example, a plug connection, can also be chosen.

In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the twisting of the concentration device relative to the separating device is blocked by a twisting protection, which is lockable. Thus, on the one hand, it is ensured that no solid portions are accidentally delivered with the invention's dosing preparatory device. On the other hand, this twisting protection also forms a child protection, if it is trained to be operated consciously and actively during the twisting of the concentration device relative to the separating device, for example, it must be pushed back or pressed in. In this further embodiment of the present invention, the twisting protection is formed or points to an locking element, which is operable, for example, by a push button in the form of a push element or in the form of a rotatable touch switch. This locking element is twisted-safely attached in this embodiment to one of the two parts of the dosing preparatory device and blocks the twisting of the two parts against each other by at least one profile projecting into corresponding recesses in the other part. Preferably, the locking element is attached to the separating device and trained to prevent the twisting of the concentration device relative to the separating device.

In a further preferred further training of the present invention, the locking element can also be trained so that it is trained to lock the container when the locking mechanism is activated and is effective, so that no contaminations can enter this and the interior of the dosing system when not used. In this case, the locking element covers the outlet opening of the container in the blocking position. This can be constructed, for example, so that the container is arranged on the front side of the conventional dosing system, so that its outlet opening is aligned in a radial direction to the dosing system, and the locking element is arranged along a rim line outside the conventional dosing system and is movable over the outlet opening.

The locking element can be flexibly mounted on the coupling unit or along the coupling unit. In order to realize a locking position, the locking element can be formed by a locking pin which can be moved, in particular parallel to the shaft of the coupling unit, into a corresponding opening / a corresponding protrusion / groove, and can, for example, penetrate a locking nut of the coupling unit. These openings / protrusions / grooves / nuts can be, for example, in a radially outward or inward extending rim of the coupling unit and preferably at equal intervals from each other, particularly preferably at the same angle distance, which is also taken by the chambers in the coupling unit to each other. The openings and the like are formed between the protrusions.

此外，可优选地设置扭转安全装置，用于扭转集合装置相对于分离装置处于预紧状态，且在卸载状态下，两个部件通过扭转安全装置锁定。为此，可以设置弹簧元件，尤其是压力或拉力螺旋弹簧或叶片弹簧，以产生预紧力。弹簧元件可以将推动元件或释放装置杆件移至锁定位置，或者改变其方向。在锁定位置，锁定元件优选地也覆盖外部接收装置的排放开口。弹簧元件可以作为复位元件使用。

If the catching vessel is open downwards, it is preferable to ensure that the parts of the solids entering the vessel are initially retained there before a user can collect them. For this purpose, a portion lock is provided to block the cavity of the catching vessel downwards. Thislock can be formed as a finger-like element that closes the cavity downwards. This lock is preferably operated with the locking element. For example, the locking element can be formed as a push button and this portion lock can be provided as an additional building element, so that the lock of the cavity is set upon actuating. This way, isolated, separated and entered parts of the solids in the catching vessel are retained in the catching vessel. Only when the locking element is no longer actuated, this lock is lifted, so that the solid parts can fall out of the cavity. To close the cavity downwards, it can also be provided in an alternative embodiment that the catching vessel is shiftable or swivellable, so that the cavity is blocked in a first shifting/swivel position by a building part of the dosing preparation, for example by the separating wall of the separating device, and is open in a second shifting/swivel position. The preferred embodiment of a swivellable catching vessel is described above.

In a further preferred training of the present invention, the components of the dosing arrangement are trained to be exclusively rotatably adjustable against each other in a concentration and dispersion direction. For example, a conveying rail may be provided on the outside of the concentration arrangement, which interferes with at least one conveying element, which is aligned with the conveying rail, on the catch arrangement or on another component, such as the separating arrangement. This conveying element may also be designed in the form of a conveyor. The conveying rail and, if applicable, the conveyor are designed in a corresponding manner to allow a rotation only in one rotational direction.

Such a conveying device may be provided with one or more conveying elements and one or more conveying teeth, which may be designed in such a way that, in each step, a specified angle amount, within which the conveying of a single solid portion or a certain number of solid portions is possible, allows a rotation of the individualizing device with respect to the separating device. The angle distance between the conveying teeth corresponds either to the angle distance between two consecutively moving chambers in the individualizing device or to a multiple of this angle distance or to a fraction of this angle distance.

根据本发明的进一步优选实施例，分离装置包括视窗，使得包含在各室中的固态部分，特别是由倾倒口取出的固态部分，从外部可识别。或者，给药前部装置的整个外壁或至少其重要部分由透明材料制成。

The present invention has a further advantageous further training in which the dosing device further comprises an apparatus for adjustable limitation of the twisting of the unit apparatus with respect to the separation apparatus, in order to be able to predefine the number of to be dispensed solid portions. For example, a movable ring is provided at the separation apparatus, which forms an impact for an impact element located on the unit apparatus. The adjustable ring is preferably arranged at fixed positions corresponding to a predetermined number of solid portions.

In a further preferred further training of the present invention, the dosing device is connected with the stock container for the solid portions. Moreover, an originality closure is attached to the stock container. The originality closure is used to ensure and make visible that the donor totality, i.e. the inventive dosing device and the stock container, has not been opened or used in advance, i.e. before a first use by an operator. The originality closure is held in a form-fitting manner to the container and holds the dosing device itself, for example by preventing that the dosing device is taken off from the stock container, for example by being unscrewed from its dispensing spout. The originality closure can be, for example, in the form of a ring.An example for the closure between the original closure and the stock container is, for example, a forward edge at the outlet of the stock container and a first forward row finger at the original closure. During assembly, the original closure is mounted on the stock container, so that it is snapped behind the edge at the container outlet. The original closure also has stop elements, for example, an inwardly facing second row finger, which cooperates form-closely with holding elements on the original closure, for example, on the dosing equipment, such as on the concentration equipment. The holding elements on the dosing equipment may, for example, be formed by a rim wreath. After mounting the original closure on the stock container, the dosing equipment can be screwed onto the container until the second row fingers are inserted into the rim wreath.Once the dosing unit is connected to the storage container in such a way that the originality seal cannot be damaged, the dosing unit cannot be removed from the storage container without damaging the originality seal. The originality seal also prevents the dosing unit from being screwed onto the storage container too far, so that the separation unit or any other internal building element does not tear the sealing foil during the screwing. The originality seal is removed from the storage container during use of the dosing unit by breaking it at a weakness, so that the dosing unit can be firmly screwed onto the storage container.

In the following figures, the same reference symbols refer to identical elements or to elements with the same function.

An illustration of a principle for explaining the way of the invention dosage device 100 is shown in Fig. 12: For the application of the invention dosage device 100, it is attached to a container 700 that is tipped from the upright to a lying position (usage position), so that the longitudinal axes L of the device and the container are inclined against the horizontal (see, for example, Fig. 3B, 13A). To this end, the invention dosage device is attached to the container, for example, with the seat surface of a apron 310 on the discharge unit 300 on a substructure (Fig. 3B, first embodiment), or the user holds the dosage device with one hand in a lying position (Fig. 13A, second embodiment). By the tilting, the powder charge S of the solid portion contained in the container reaches the dosage device, whereby the charge fills the longitudinal direction of the device up to a level N. By the slight tilting, the solid portion preferably reaches up to the chambers 230. Corresponding would be the case if the dosage device was not connected to a container for use. In this case, the solid portion would be distributed in the inner space of the dosage device when tilted in the described manner.

For the segregation of the solid portions F from this discharge S, the segregation device 200 and thus the chambers 230 are rotated in the turning direction D shown in Fig. 12. Through the rotation of the segregation device, the chambers move on a circular motion path B in a plane perpendicular (first embodiment) or parallel (second embodiment) or in another orientation to the longitudinal axis L of the dosing arrangement 100. During this rotation, the chambers lying below in the use position penetrate the discharge of the solid portions and take each one of these portions, as their size and shape are adapted to the solid portions. With the rotation, the thus filled chambers are then lifted out of the discharge in the turning direction and carry the contained solid portions out of the discharge as well.In order that the solids portion shall not again fall out of the chambers during this rotation, the chambers, when they are located on their movement path above the discharge, are sealed by a separating installation in the form of a separating wall 380. This separating wall does not rotate with the rotation of the unit installation, but is rotation-proof with respect to the unit installation. As soon as a chamber with a contained solids portion reaches about the uppermost position, the solids portion arrives at a conically widened conveying path 390, on which it can arrive at the chamber that is no longer sealed, by falling out of the chamber, firstly in the funnel part 391 or on a ramp or similar and subsequently in the conveying section 392 of the conveying path.The implementation part leads from this location in the area of the individualization device from the interior area out and leads thus the solid portion in a receptacle 440 (Fig. 3B or Fig. 13A). For each to be filled into the receptacle solid portion, the individualization device is rotated by one step further. The user can read the number of the already arrived in the receptacle solid portion easily via a dosing scale 450.

The invention as claimed in claim 100 is configured as a hollow body which may be one-sidedly open such that the device may be coupled to a stock container 700, for example a tablet bottle (Fig. 3B or Fig. 13A). The stock container typically has a dispensing nozzle 710, through which solid parts F, for example tablets and in particular preferably mini- and micro-tablets or globuli, may be dispensed from the container such that a user may take these portions (Fig. 1, 2). The dispensing nozzle is typically provided with an outer thread 720 which serves to screw a closure cap onto the dispensing nozzle (not shown). This thread may be used for this purposeTo connect the dosing apparatus with the discharge tap. The dosing apparatus is provided with an internal thread 210, which is complementary to the external thread of the container (Fig. 3B or Fig. 14). The dosing apparatus can either be available as a separate apparatus for the user, so that he can mount the apparatus on the discharge tap of the container when needed, i.e., when a new primary packaging (container) is to be attached. Or the dosing apparatus is delivered together with the container to the user, in which case the dosing apparatus with its one-sided open end, for example, is already screwed onto the discharge tap of the container. In a further embodiment of the invention and use of the dosing apparatus, this does not have an open end but is fully closed and thus forms a storage space for the solid portion.在这种情况下，根据需要，固体成分由储罐以填充到空心体的内部空间。

Fig. 1 shows the essential components of the inventive dosing device 100 in a first embodiment in an explosion representation. The dosing device is basically composed of a compartmentation device 200 and a separation device 300 with a torsion safety 350. Furthermore, it points to a catch device 400. To secure the dosing device on the stock container 700, a novelty lock 500 is provided. For their connection, the separation device is over the compartmentation device. The catch device closes to the separation device. The torsion safety is formed by a locking element in the form of a sliding element 360, for example by a locking button, and a tension element 370, for example a spring. The novelty lock is mounted on the discharge nozzle 710 of the stock container and held there in form-fit. A sealing foil 600 serves to close the discharge opening, so that the interior of the stock container is protected. Fig. 3B shows the above-mentioned components of the inventive dosing device in the assembled state.

The capture mechanism 400 is formed by a frontal leg 410 and an axial leg 420 which are connected together in a right angle (Fig. 8A, 8B). The frontal leg is located at the frontal side 110 of the dosing preparatory device 100 in the installed state. The axial leg is positioned in the area of an extending skirt 310 of the separation device 300 and can therefore be located at the outer side of the unit device 200. The separation device and the unit device are formed by partially rotationally symmetric hollow bodies which are nested in each other. The separation device extends almost completely into the unit device. The end region of the axial part 420 of the capture mechanism is equipped with an inward pointing clip 430. This clips is mounted during the mounting of the three components over a snap ring 220 on the outer side of the unit device (Fig. 3B, 5, 6A, 8B). Thus, the capture mechanism and the unit device are connected to each other, whereby the mounting of the capture mechanism to the unit device is due to the surrounding snap ring allows a rotation of the unit device with respect to the capture mechanism. By this mounting, the separation device is held between the capture mechanism and the unit device.

The joint device 200 is provided on the inner side of the ring area 210, in particular on the front side 110 of the dosing preparation device 100, so as to have a screw connection with the screw thread 720 on the dispensing plug 710 of the storage container 700 (Fig. 3B, 5, 6A, 6B). With this, the unit from the joint device, the separating device and the receiving device 400 can be screwed onto the dispensing plug of the storage container. In the screwed state, the joint device is securely connected to the storage container. By this, this unit is rotatable with respect to the receiving device and the separating device.

The individualizing device 200 is constructed of a rotating body 240 with a rotationally symmetrical mantle 240 having depressions 230 at the rim area for forming the chambers 230 that are in contact with the detachment device 300 (Fig. 3A, 6A). These depressions are protrusions in a ring-shaped inner recess 235 at the inner circumference of the individualizing device. In the assembled state, the front surface 320 of the detachment device is in contact with this section (Fig. 3B, 5), so that the protrusions/depresions 230 are sealed off on this side and only open radially towards the inner space of the individualizing device. The chambers 230 are arranged in parallel along the inner wall of the individualizing device at equal intervals. In this case, 10 chambers are formed along the circumference, with each angle distance to a longitudinal axis L of the individualizing device being 36°. The chambers form oval hollows, so that they are adapted to the shape of the to-be-received solid portions F, for example, from mini- and micro-tablets or globuli. Furthermore, they have a size that is sufficient for receiving the mini- or micro-tablets or globuli.

分瓶装置300 (图7A,7B)基本上呈桶形，具有部分旋转对称的外壳330和前部盖子340。分瓶装置在安装状态下，以其外壳盖住分瓶单元200，然后以其盖子与分瓶单元200的环形内底座235对齐，内底座235内设有通道以供分瓶单元200内的各个瓶子230伸出。分瓶装置外壳部分旋转对称的外侧部分由外凸裙边310中断，裙边也形成外壳的一部分。裙边用以接住捕瓶装置400的轴向柄420Sodass the skirt can be laid under the side wall of the unit installation, and on the outside of the unit installation. Furthermore, the skirt also forms a support and placement surface for the dosing arrangement 100 on a solid substrate (confirmation position). The skirt surface is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the dosing arrangement to its front side 110, so that the dosing arrangement, laid on this skirt, is inclined forward. This this, solid components F can accumulate in a filling S in the front part of the dosing arrangement when the dosing arrangement is laid with the skirt on the solid substrate. This this is schematically indicated by the upper level N of the filling in FIG. 3B这与紧身胸衣的面积平行。

The essential feature of the invention is that a separating device 380 in the form of a dividing wall extends into the room of the dosing device 100, in the form of a wall, in a right angle to the side wall 340 of the separating device 300 (Fig. 3B, 7B). This dividing wall runs along a circularly curved path next to and parallel to the annular section 235 of the unification device 200, in which the chambers 230 are located. The dividing wall only extends over a segment of the circle, which (at the installation of the separating device over the skirt on the underlay, arrangement as in Fig. 3B, 7B) begins above the lowest point of the circular path of the chambers and ends below the highest point. The width of the dividing wall is chosen so that it can cover the chambers completely.

In the upper end region, the partition wall 380 transitions to a conveying path 390, which initially bends towards the rotational axis in a clockwise direction (Fig. 7B) and then bends axially in the direction of the front cover 340 of the separation device 300 (conveyance section 392; Fig. 3B, 7A, 7B). The part of the conveying path that joins the partition wall may initially have a larger cross-section to accommodate the solid portion F, to ensure that the solid portion is securely caught during the transfer from the chambers 230 to the conveying path.

The axial section 392 of the conveying line 390 joins to the dosing pipe 440 in the receiving arrangement 400 (Fig. 3B, 4, 5). The dosing pipe runs in a position of the inventive dosing preparation device as in Fig. 3B, 4, 5, 7B (use position) in a vertical direction slightly inclined, so that the solids portions F, which have arrived at the conveying line, fall immediately into the lower part of the dosing pipe. In order that the fallen solids portions are retained in the dosing pipe, this is closed downward. In the example shown in Fig. 4, 5, 6, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E, 7F, 7G, 7H, 7I, 7J, 7K, 7L, 7M, 7N, 7O, 7P, 7Q, 7R, 7S, 7T, 7U, 7V, 7W, 7X, 7Y, 7Z, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180,

另外，分离装置300的盖子340侧面上设置有视窗342，该视窗沿着与道氏化预处理装置100的主轴L轴向同心的圆周方向延伸（图7A），同时分离壁380沿着通过结合装置200旋转产生的移动路径B延伸（图7B，12），使得可以从外部观察道氏化室230中的固定体部分F。该视窗由透明材料制成。

The axial part 420 of the catching mechanism 400 extends behind the girdle 310 of the separating mechanism 300 and is fastened to the clamping hook 430 of the catching mechanism 400 by the clamping ring 220 of the assembly mechanism 200. The axial part is located in a recess of the rotationally symmetrical part 330 of the separating mechanism 300 and is in contact with its flanks and thus completes the rotationally symmetrical jacket (Fig. 3A). Thus, the catching mechanism and the separating mechanism are connected by rotationally secure in such a way that a rotation of the separating mechanism is transmitted to the catching mechanism. As a hint to the user for the direction of rotation, a corresponding arrow 335 is attached to the separating mechanism on the outside (Fig. 4, 7A) (embossed or engraved).

The joining unit 200 further comprises on the outer side in the rim region an outer conveying rail 250, which is connected by a screw connection 210 with the storage container 700 (fig. 6A). The axial leg 420 of the catching unit 400 is end-mounted with an inner counterpart 460 (fig. 8B). The conveying rail and the rack element are equally oriented, i.e. their steps block each other. In the assembled state, the rack element is reached into the conveying rail of the joining unit and riveted with this. Thus, a rotation of the joining unit relative to the catching unit and thus also relative to the separating unit 300 in the clockwise direction (when looking from the front side 110 of the dosing unit 100 to the storage container 700) is prevented. Moreover, the step length and thus the number of steps on the circumference of the joining unit is chosen so that it corresponds to the angular distance between two adjacent chambers 230. With a rotation of the joining unit relative to the catching unit and the separating unit by a step size, the joining unit is accordingly rotated by an angular amount, which corresponds to the joining and release of a single solid portion F. Thus, the number of rotation steps gives the number of solid portions that have entered the dosing pipe 440, so that dosing can be controlled even more easily.

The device for preventing distortion of the segregation facility 200 opposite the capture facility 400 and the separation facility 300 comprises a distortion protection 350. This is formed by a locking element in the form of a sliding element 360 (Fig. 9A, 9B). The sliding element is arranged opposite the girdle 310 on the rotationally symmetric shell 330 of the separation facility 300 (Fig. 4, 5). In the corresponding area, the shell has an extension 338 (Fig. 7A). The sliding element grips the shell surface of the separation facility laterally with guiding flanks 362. Furthermore, it is arranged on an inserted area 339 of the shell part with one end (Fig. 7A, 9A, 9B). The sliding element is provided with a clamping elementHere is a printing pin 370, which is carried along at the underside of the sliding element between two lower ribs 365 and is fastened in an axial direction at the disconnecting mechanism. It is pre-stressed so that it is pushed away from the front side 340 of the disconnecting mechanism (Fig. 3B, 5, 9B). Instead of a spiral spring, a leaf spring may also be used. In this (locking) position, the ribs engage in locking nuts 265 at a projecting peripheral edge 260 of the locking mechanism 200 and thus prevent the twisting of the locking mechanism with respect to the disconnecting mechanism (Fig. 3A, 6A). Adjacent locking nuts are arranged at an angular distance from each other of, for example, 36° to each other like the chambers 230 and the steps of the carousel 250 for the stepwise twisting of the locking mechanism with respect to the catch mechanismFor example, 10 pairs of lock pins are regularly distributed in the periphery. Thus, the twisting of the isolation device can be controlled after the dose of a solid portion F, so that no further solid portion can be released. By pushing the sliding element against the force of the tension element, this block is lifted, as the ribs can no longer enter the lock pins.

此外，设置插件360在释放位置445上方的排出开口445上，以此来防止进入式样容器100内的污染。

If the inventive dosing device 100 is made available to an operator together with a storage container 700, both a sealing film 600 and an originality lock 500 must be provided, wherein the latter indicates in its undamaged state that the storage container has not been opened or used prematurely. This ensures that premature use does not take place (Fig. 10, 11).

Sealing foil 600 is used to form a steam and oxygen barrier over the inner chamber of storage vessel 700 (Fig. 11). It seals the pouring opening 715 of pouring nozzle 710 tightly. The sealing foil may be a two-layer foil, for example, a polypropylene foil with an aluminium layer. Such foils are also used for blister production in the pharmaceutical sector as well as for sealing food packaging. The sealing foil is heated on the pouring opening of the storage vessel, for example on the neck of a tablet bottle, and rolled ("sealed"). In this case, the foil has a flap 610 extending laterally, which can be removed from the pouring opening.

The originality seal 500 is made in the form of a ring, which is draped over the edge 710 of the storage container 700 and then hooked under this edge (twistable). The originality seal points to the first resting fingers 510 above, which are laid behind a border 730 on the dispensing pin. Furthermore, the originality seal points to the second resting fingers 520 inward. These are connected to the grouping device 200 of the screwed-in inventive dosing unit 100, when the inward second resting fingers penetrate the inner crown 270 at the end of the grouping device on the container side. The first resting fingers further rest on the resting nock 740 below the border 730.A modification of the dosing arrangement in relation to the reservoir container is impeded. Moreover, the originality seal ensures that the dosing arrangement cannot be screwed so far onto the pouring outlet of the reservoir container that the inner separating wall 380 of the sealing film 600 sits onto the pouring opening 715 and is thereby possibly damaged. In order to be able to screw the dosing arrangement onto the reservoir container, the originality seal for a first application must be removed. For this purpose, this has a grip area 530 and a next to the grip area located gap 540. By pulling forcefully at the grip area, the originality seal can be torn and then removed. This makes it possible to unscrew the dosing arrangement from the reservoir containerTo remove the seal strip and to dispense the solid portions F from the storage container separately after the re-tightening of the dosing unit.

The unit 200 of the container 700 comprises a circumferential flange 280 on which the dosing device 100 is manually graspable and screwed on the stock container 710 (Fig. 6A, 6B). Moreover, the unit 200 is provided with clips 290 in an area between the screw thread 210 and the rack 270 inside (Fig. 6B), which catch under the knobs 740 below the edge 730 of the pouring spout 710 when screwing on the stock container (Fig. 2).

Figure 13-21 shows a first variant of a second embodiment of a dosing arrangement 100 according to the invention. Figure 13 and 14 show this dosing arrangement 100 coupled to a storage container 700.

In this first embodiment of the second implementation form, the shown invention-specific dosing arrangement 100 is depicted in a usage position for solid portions F, i.e. the dosing arrangement is arranged with its front end slightly downwards. The central longitudinal plane extends parallel to the concentration arrangement 200, which is formed in the form of a circle or ring, and vertically and along the longitudinal axis of the arrangement.

The dosing station 100 comprises a transparent housing outer skin 150 (Fig. 13A, 13B, 18A, 18B), further components, particularly a compartmentation device 200, a separating device 300 and a receiver 440, which are contained within the interior of the housing outer skin. The housing outer skin is, for example, made of a transparent plastic, so that the compartmentation and separation of the solid components F during the operation of the dosing station can be recognized from the outside. The housing outer skin is formed by a hollow body in the form of a cylinder at its base, which is in contact with a connected storage container 700. This hollow body runs at the end opposite the storage container on one side into a semi-spherical bow (Fig. 13B, 13B, 18A, 18B). On the other side at this end, the housing outer skin is inwardly formed (Fig. 13A, 18A, 18B), so that the outer wall at this location partially forms a side wall 151 parallel to the vertical central longitudinal plane of the dosing station. The housing outer skin is further broken along the vertical central longitudinal plane in an upper area by a slit 152, through which the compartmentation device extends (Fig. 13A, 13B). Furthermore, there is a further break 153 on the semi-spherical bow laterally, through which a button 363 of a withdrawal handle tester 360 is operable (Fig. 13B).

分药机构200（图13A，13B，15A，15B）在第二形式中通过一环或一环构成。中心长轴面，该环或该环所处的轴面，平行于分药前机构100的长轴面，并且垂直于用于固态份量的使用状态。分药机构的旋转轴205因此水平设置，并且垂直于分药前机构的长轴面。分药机构配备有外侧运行面207，以方便手动抓取，从而可以轻松旋转。在安装状态下，该环从内部突出至外壳外表面150的缝口152中。in order to enable a user to grasp it, for example with a finger, while holding the dosing device with his hand. So the individualization wheel can be operated like the scroll wheel of a computer mouse with one finger. Internally and externally, the wheel has a running section 235 of 235, which forms a step-shaped transition from a circular surface 236 aligned with the shaft axis to one of the wheel surfaces. In this step-shaped section, for example, 12 round recesses 230 are equidistantly inserted, i.e. at the same angular intervals of for example 30°. So the recesses open to the inside and to one of the wheel surfaces. The recesses form chambers 230 for each solid portion in the mounted state of the individualization device.至于它们的大小和 形状，每个可以单独容纳一个固定体积部分。此外，该轮子内部沿着与壳体相对侧的侧表面，以相同的角间距排列，沿着主要的矩形凹槽265分隔，形成了主要的矩形台阶区260，它们用于封闭分隔机构。沿着矩形台阶区，特别是凹槽一侧，进一步形成了梳状扁平口袋，以防止轮子沿分隔方向旋转。这些口袋形成了梳状带250。分隔机构在安装状态时，它以形状匹配的方式安装，但可以在壳体外表面形成的空腔内自由旋转。The chambers are closed by the parallel side wall 151 of the housing outer skin 150 (Fig. 18A) towards the side, so that they are only accessible from the inside of the concentric rings.

分离装置300由两个半壳元件组成（图16A、16B：第一半壳元件303；图17A、17B：第二半壳元件304），这些半壳元件可以以形式协调的方式相互连接。这两个半壳元件以无运动余地的方式固定在壳体外壳150上，形成分离装置。例如，分离装置可以插入壳体外壳，并通过摩擦保持。

The second half shell element 304 provides a rear arcuate guide track section 385 for the individualizing wheel 200. The first half shell element 303 provides a separation device in the form of a partition wall 380, which is arcuate like the rear guide track section, and runs in a short distance from the circular surface 236 of the individualizing wheel when mounted (Fig. 20A). The partition wall is so wide that it covers the grooves 230 in the circular surface of the individualizing wheel. This way, it prevents the solid parts F in the grooves (chambers) from falling out when the wheel is rotated. The partition wall is arranged at the front end of the dosing prearrangement 100, namely at the end opposite the storage vessel 700. Both the partition wall of the separation device of the first half shell element and the guide track section of the second half shell element of the separation device 300 extend over approximately a semicircular area.

通过两个半壳部件303、304形成的分隔装置300，将内部螺纹210对准分隔装置300上的外部螺纹720，放置于储罐700的排出管嘴710上（图2）。在分隔装置内部壁上，设置有卡槽290（图16B），可与储罐700的排出管嘴710下沿730下方对应卡口740卡合。

The halbkreisförmige Trennwand 380 passes over a ramp 391 into the half shell element 303 of the separating device 300. This ramp is also in the movement plane of the chambers, so that solid portion F from the chambers can fall down onto this ramp after the chambers have been moved out of the area of the separating wall. The ramp leads into a conveying channel 392. The ramp and the conveying channel together form a chute 390 (transmission path) for the solid portion F. This chute leads into a receiver 440 (Fig. 13A, 20A).

The Auffangbehälter 440 for the solid portions F is part of the separation device 300 and therefore is made in one piece with this. The Auffangbehälter is formed as a long groove, so that the solid portions are stacked on top of each other in it (Fig. 13A, 21A). In Fig. 21A, six stacked solid portions can be recognized. The groove is arranged approximately at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the dosing device 100, namely with the dosing device 100 lying down at the bottom and at the lower end slightly forward. In the operating position of the dosing device 100, this is held slightly forward, so that this groove is essentially vertical. This way, the solid portions essentially fall vertically into the groove. The groove is completed in the assembled state by the partly parallel side wall 151 of the housing outer skin 150 to the vertical central longitudinal plane of the dosing device 100, so that the groove is formed as a catch shaft. This way, falling solid portions can be stacked on top of each other in the catch shaft.

The outer wall of the housing 150 is equipped outside with a dosing scale 450 (Fig. 13A) at the location where the trough lies. The scale division of the dosing scale gives the filling level of the catch pit 440 with solid portion F, so that the number of solid portions entering the catch pit can be recognized at a glance. When combining and separating solid portions from the discharge S (operating position), the catch pit is closed downward by a locking finger 368 (Fig. 21A). This lock is released again for dispensing the solid portions (discharge position) (Fig. 20A).

In chamber 315 of the separation device 300 (Fig. 17B), which is located above the receiving area for the discharge S in the second semi-shell element 304, a drying agent for the solid fraction F can be accommodated.

Furthermore, the dosing arrangement 100 includes a dosing control switch 360, which includes a locking element 365 for locking the rotation of the single-portion spindle 200, as well as a portion lock 368 for locking the outlet chute 201 downwards. The dosing control switch extends over a portion of the second half shell element 304 of the separation mechanism 300, and is held by it. The second half shell element includes a swivel axis 355 on the outside for holding the switch, which is engageable with corresponding clamps 361 on the inside of the switch, so that the switch is swivelable about this axis (Fig. 19B, 20A, 21A). In the lower area, the switch further includes an operating button 363.the probe extends through an opening 153 in the outer housing wall 150 of the dosing device 100, so that the probe is operable from the outside (Fig. 13B). The probe rests against the outer side of the second half-shell element 304 of the separating device 300 via a press spring (not shown). In this connection, the probe at the inner side has a projecting spring holder 374 for the press spring, which rests against a correspondingly arranged and formed holder 308 on the outer side of the second half-shell element. This way, the probe is pressed outward in the unloaded position and can be pressed inward through the opening in the outer housing wall by operation.

For locking the single track wheel 200, the detector 360 at the bottom edge points the locking lever 365 in the form of a nose (Fig. 19B), which in the unloaded position of the detector, enters one of the locking nuts 265 between the tread regions 260 on the inner side of the single track wheel and prevents the wheel from turning. Fig. 20B shows that the locking lever is located closely above the single track wheel and thus in one of the locking nuts. By pressing the locking detector against the spring force, the locking lever is swiveled out of the locking nut and unlocked this way. Fig. 21B shows this: The unlocking detector is pressed inward (recognizable by the greater distance between the unlocking detector and the housing outer skin 150).as the stopper pin bends further to the right and also upwards. This results in a larger distance between the stopper pin and the dosing wheel. By this construction not only an unintended operation of the inventive dosing device 100 is prevented in a simple way, but also a childproofing is realized in an efficient way. Since the locking element is automatically pressed into the locking position by the spring force, it must be pressed intentionally and held during dispensing for solid portions. The complexity of this combination of different actions does not allow children to use the dosing device.

Furthermore, the discharge level indicator 360 detects the portion storage in the form of a locking finger 368 (Fig. 19A, 19B). The locking finger blocks the collection shaft 440 downwards when it is in the discharge state, so that the contained solid portion F cannot fall out (Fig. 21A). When the switch is actuated, this finger is moved into the shaft, so that it closes the shaft downwards. By the swinging movement, the finger is not only moved in the direction of the finger extension, but also slightly upwards. As a result, the finger hits the bottom edge of the collection shaft and is slightly bent downwards. The lower position of the finger in the closing position is thus defined by the bottom edge of the collection shaft.

此外，在第二半壳元件304的内侧，分离装置300的第三部分304上还设有一根柱状杆460作为挡板，该柱状杆位于分离轮200外缘上端的250挡板上。该柱状杆抵靠挡板，并强迫分离轮仅能在D方向旋转，即从给料预置装置100的前端看去，只能在向上旋转的前部元件方向旋转。由于挡板在该分离轮上彼此以相等的角度排列，而分离轮上各挡板的间隔与分离轮上各分离块230的间隔相同，因此，当旋转分离轮时，由于挡板的作用，每次仅分离并切断一个固体部分F。

For the use of the dosing unit 100, this is screwed onto a storage bottle 700 instead of a lid (Fig. 13A, 13B, 14). The solid portion F contained in the storage container is poured forward into the dosing unit and collects in an area directly behind the receiver shaft 440 and along the traversing chambers 230. Here, the solid portions form a pouring S (Fig. 13A, 14).

用户例如将给药装置100拿在右手，然后按右侧的控制按钮363，从而按下按钮363。这样就激活了离散按钮360。一方面，锁销365从内部离散轮200的前凸轮260之间被拉出，离散轮被离散；另一方面，锁指368被推入下端开口的收集槽440，因此被封闭。

When the individualizing wheel 200 has been released (operating position), the user may rotate it toward himself with his thumb in the direction D (Fig. 13A). During this, the finger 460 slides along the side profile 250 of the individualizing wheel and divides the rotation into angular steps, which correspond to the angular distance between the protrusions 230 in the individualizing wheel. Rotation in the opposite direction is prevented by this side profile. By rotation, solid parts F are taken from the chute S into the protrusions on the inside of the individualizing wheel and transported upwards and out of the chute on a motion path B with the individualizing wheel (Fig.14) In order to prevent the solid portions contained in these outlet from falling out during transport, the movement path of the chamber 380 of the first half shell element 303 of the separating device 300, which is located as a separating device at a short distance opposite the separating wall 380, is located at a short distance opposite the separating wall 380. As soon as the chambers have reached the area of the separating wall 380, the solid portions fall out of these and are inevitably transferred to the ramp 391 and from there to the discharge channel 392, which together form the transport path 390 (Fig. 14). Since the discharge channel directly opens into the catch pit 440, the solid portions fall into this and pile up on top of each other (Fig. 21A). The shell division of the dosing scale 450 makes it immediately apparent已经有多少分离的固体部分。此外，通过逐步旋转分离盘，可以控制分离的固体部分的数量。

After the user has transferred the desired number of solid portions F into the catch chute 440, he can terminate the further concentration and separation by not turning the concentration wheel 200 further and re-releasing the emptying switch 360, so that the rotation of the concentration wheel 200 is blocked, when the safety clip 365 is again pushed into one of the locking holes 265 of the concentration wheel (Fig. 20B), and on the other hand the catch chute is released downward, when the safety finger 368 is pulled out from the chute level (discharge position; Fig. 20A). Thus, the solid portions can fall out of the catch chute.

The following description of the second variant of the second embodiment of the invention dosage device 100 is limited to the constructive differences from the first variant. This second variant is suitable for use by left- and right-handed people.

The Auffangeinrichtung 400 of this variant is formed separately and swivelable as part of the Dosiervorrichtung 100 (Fig. 25A, B). The Auffangeinrichtung is embedded in the housing outer skin 150, which has a break immediately behind the coupling wheel 200 (Fig. 22A, B). This break has the shape of the main body 480 of the Auffangeinrichtung (half circular; Fig. 25A, B). The Auffangeinrichtung comprises an Auffangschacht as Auffangbehälter 440 and is not formed like in the first variant by a groove as part of the Abtrenneinrichtung 300 (Fig. 25B). The Auffangeinrichtung has a main body 480 with an open Auffangbehälter and a dosing scale 450 on both sides. At the top of this main body is a side protruding pipe (overflow pipe) 470, which communicates with the Auffangbehälter and is also open at the free end. Similarly, the overflow pipe has an inner width sufficient to allow a passage of solid portions F. The Auffangeinrichtung is preferably made of a transparent material so that the contained solid portions are recognizable from the outside.

The capturing device 400 is inserted into a mounting aperture in the separating device 300 with the overflow pipe 470, so that it is inserted in the aperture like an axis in which a swivel bearing is formed for this axis. This aperture is formed during mounting of the first half shell element 303 (Fig. 23A, B) of the separating device and the second half shell element 304 (Fig. 24A, B) of the separating device by the cutouts 336. The main body 480 of the capturing device inserts the separating device in the area of the retaining device, which is limited in front by the separating wall (separating device) 380 on the adapter and in the rear by a rib 337 at the retaining device. In this way, the main body of the capturing device can be swiveled through the casing outer wall 150 and through the separating device (Fig. 26, 27A).

The freedom of swivelling of the catch container 400 is only limited by two stop-noses 490 which are mounted in the upper area of the main body 480 of the catch container, which extend into the interior space 110 of the dosing pre-assembly 100 enclosed by the housing outer skin 150, which is limited by the height of the separation wheel 200, and each of these comes to lie on a corresponding flank of the wheel when swivelling the catch container. In addition, it is not provided with any swivel-stopping means that could catch the catch container in a middle swivel position, a left side swivel position or a right side swivel position.

The comb wheel 200 has 237 depressions on each flank and 255 depressions in total, of which each one is centrally located between two adjacent troughs 230 that form the chambers (Fig. 29A, B). When the catching device 400 is in one of the two lateral swivel positions and blocked, the respective nest 490 rests in the corresponding depressions.

The separation device 300 is formed by the first half-shell element 303 and the second half-shell element 304, where the side visible in Fig. 23B is mounted to the side visible in Fig. 24B, so that the ribs 337 form a continuous, forward-facing surface. The combining wheel 200 is freely rotatable between the two half-shell elements. The combining wheel is guided by the separation device (partition wall) 380 of the second half-shell element and the guide rail section 385 of the first half-shell element.

When the catching device 400 is located in the middle swivel position, the catching pit (catcher) 440 is closed by the separator wall 380 downwards (Fig. 28A), which is a part of the second half shell element 304 of the separation device 400. In this swivel position, the catch noses 490 of the catching device do not block the rotation of the catching ring 200, because they are located opposite the flanks of the catching ring (Fig. 28B). When swiveling the catching device in the left or right side swivel position, the catching pit is open downwards (Fig. 26, 27A). Although the case outer skin 150 extends down to the catching device located in these positions, it has both a discharge opening 155 to the left and to the right at the outlet of the catching pit 445, through which the solid portions F from the catching pit can be discharged to the outside.

With regard to the use of the inventive dosing device 100 in this variant, it can be held either by the right or by the left hand, whereby the person holds the dosing device essentially in a horizontal orientation (usage position), and wherein one of the fingers, for example the index finger, is located on the outer contour 207 of the assembly ring 200 protruding outward through the slit 152 in the outer casing wall 150, and can rotate this, when the catching device 400 is in the middle (unlocked) swivel position. By rotating the ring, the solid portions F are conveyed into the catch shaft 440 (Fig. 22A, B, 28A). As soon as a sufficient number of portions are located in the catch shaft,presses the operating person, for example, the thumb into the opposite direction of the thumb, so that the catching device takes the corresponding lateral swivel position. This way, on the one hand, the joining shaft is locked by one of the wing openings 490 of the joining shaft engaging into one of the depressions 255 at the sides of the joining shaft (Fig. 27B), and on the other hand, the portions of the rigid bodies in the catching shaft are discharged from the catching shaft, since the catching shaft is open downwards in this position (Fig. 26, 27A). Since the catching device can swivel in both directions, it is possible to operate it in the way described above with both the left and the right hand.

Once the catch pit 440 at the separator has been completely filled with the solid fraction F (process position), further solid fractions F will be diverted through the overflow pipe 470. As this pipe opens into the interior of the dosing unit 100, the excess solid fractions will again fall into the discharge S.

Furthermore, the second embodiment of this form of implementation of the inventive dosing device 100 comprises an embodiment of the partition ring 200, which ensures a very gentle treatment of the solid portions F. By providing inclined ramps 234 between adjacent outlets (chambers) 230, 230', 230" on the inner side of the partition ring, it is largely prevented that two solid portions F become hooked to each other in the region of the chambers, if there is a danger that both solid portions F could fall into the same chamber in the partition ring. These ramps are designed as running surfaces for the solid portions F. The solid portions F are held on these running surfaces by side sections of the housing outer skin 150, which are arranged in the partition ring, and in part below the breakthrough in the housing outer skin for the receipt of the catch device 400.A channel for the solid parts is built between these wall sections, whose bottom is defined by the flow surfaces. The flow surfaces extend from a high level N1 over a chamber bottom 232 of each first chamber 230 to a low level N2 over a chamber bottom 232' of a second chamber 230' adjacent to the first chamber 230 in a direction D of the assembly spindle. The chamber bottom 232 is located on level N0. The depth of the chambers at the side on which the high level is located is N1 - N0, and the depth of the chambers at the side on which the low level is located德国联邦国道N2号

Even if the embodiment shown in Figure 30 deviates from the embodiment shown in Figures 29A and 29B, in which a first embodiment of the second embodiment of the dosing arrangement 100 of a 200th stage of a second variant of a dosing arrangement 100 is illustrated, it is nevertheless easy to recognize the principle of this advantageous design: A flow surface 234 for the solid portion F, which is located on the inner side of a first chamber 230 and a second chamber 230' of the separation rod 200 between two adjacent grooves, faces a line segment Sk (with respect to the center of the circle of the separation rod) that connects these two adjacent grooves with an angle α > 0°. As a result, from the perspective of the groove of the first chamber 230,the second chamber 230' through the groove is partially cut, so that an additional solid portion is pushed over the already existing solid portion in the groove of the second chamber without it being able to be caught in the edge of the groove. However, the cut groove again has a full depth N1 - N0 on the side in the rotation direction. From this point, a further surface leads to a further groove of a third chamber 230", which again cuts the further groove on the side opposite the rotation direction.Opposite the direction of rotation, the side of the shell that is away from the shell floor is so deep that a portion of a solid that is located inside the shell would have its lens-shaped upper surface directly above the edge of the shell. The depth is approximately two-thirds of the diameter of the solid portion.

The principle is also implemented in the implementation form of the single-stage assembly 200 for the second variant of the second implementation form of the inventive dosing device 100 (Fig. 29A, B). In this case, the protrusions 230 are inserted into a middle step 238 on the inner side of the single-stage assembly. The surfaces 234 for connecting the protrusions 230 for the solid portion F also run at an angle α>0° with respect to the secants connecting two adjacent protrusions in this case.

The inner surface design of the 200 individual segments with inclined surfaces 234 can also be used in other embodiments of the inventive dosing device 100, for example in the first embodiment.

200 is the location of the depressions 255 which are planned for the locking of the separation rail by means of the gap nuts 490 at the stop guide 400. These depressions are therefore located on both sides of this middle bridge (Fig. 29A, B).

The above-described construction elements of the embodiment forms can preferably be formed of a plastic, especially preferably of an opaque material (except for the viewing window or the outer skin of the housing or the receiving device), for individual construction elements, metal, for example for the tension element 370, or a ceramic compound material can be selected. The tension element can also be made of plastic.
