DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a tablet cassette mounting table for a medicine packaging machine in which a plurality of tablet cassettes are arranged in a crowd.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A drug packaging machine is a product that automatically sorts out tablets to be prescribed based on a patient's illness and automatically packs the tablets one by one. Generally, a large number of tablet cassettes each containing a variety of tablets are arranged on an installation table, and the tablet cassettes installed on the installation table are individually controlled to form tablets that have been dispensed one by one on the installation table. The tablets ejected downward through the respective passages and collected from the installation table are collected in a hopper, discharged downward and sealed with wrapping paper.

[0003] Here, in the medicine packaging machine, the structure of the mounting table is changed in order to facilitate the installation of a large number of tablet cassettes and the exchange of the tablet cassettes. A large number of tablet cassettes are attached to and detached from each of the mounting tables, and each of the mounting tables is projected so that the tablet cassettes can be replaced.

[0004] Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 214791, filed and registered by the present applicant, discloses an improvement on the above-mentioned prior art, in which a semicircular left drum and a right drum which are separated from each other are rotatable. There is disclosed a structure in which an auxiliary drum is installed between the left drum and the right drum, and a number of tablet cassettes are installed on the left drum, the right drum and the auxiliary drum.

[0005] According to such a structure of the tablet cassette mounting table and the drum, the left and right drums can be rotated to easily attach and detach the tablet cassette. Further, the tablet cassette can be easily attached to and detached from the auxiliary drum through the space between the left drum and the right drum.

[0006]

However, the conventional mounting table and drum as described above have a disadvantage that the capacity of the medicine packaging machine is increased because the number of tablet cassettes is smaller than the whole capacity.

[0007] In the conventional drum, it is possible to install a tablet cassette containing tablets that are consumed infrequently in the auxiliary drum. However, since the number of tablet cassettes installed in the auxiliary drum is small, it is frequently consumed. There is a disadvantage that it is not possible to efficiently manage a tablet cassette containing a tablet and a tablet cassette containing a tablet that is consumed infrequently.

In addition, since the conventional cylindrical mounting table drum is configured such that the tablet cassette is mounted on the outer surface, it is difficult to check the state of the passage for guiding the tablets discharged from the tablet cassette, and the passage is difficult. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to clean the passage if it is not clean.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has as its object to provide a large number of tablet cassettes for storing tablets frequently consumed and a tablet for storing tablets frequently consumed. The structure of the tablet cassette mounting table for a drug packaging machine, which can be installed separately from a number of tablet cassettes, grasps the condition of the passage through which the tablets pass, makes it easy to clean, and thereby efficiently manages the tablet cassettes for a long time. Is to provide.
