As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a powdered medicine dispensation packaging apparatus 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a partition means 110, driving means 120, dispensing means 130, and a holding unit 140.


The partition means 110 is provided with a frame 111 having a predetermined size and is configured to divide the frame 111 horizontally and vertically to form unit cells 114 for powdered medicine to be uniformly distributed in the unit cells 114.


For this, a frame 111 in a rectangular form having a predetermined height and an open upper and lower part, a horizontal partition member 112 arranged evenly spaced in a horizontal direction in the frame 111 to divide the space inside the frame horizontally, a vertical partition member 113 arranged in a vertical direction of the frame 114 in plurality to divide vertically, and a sliding plate 115 arranged at a lower part of the frame 114 to open and close the lower part is comprised.


Further, a guide groove 116 guiding the sliding plate 115 and a guide groove 117 guiding the dispensing means 130 are formed respectively at the lower part of the frame 111.


In addition, the vertical partition member 113 is connected to a driving means 120 thereby partitioning unit cells 114, and horizontal spacing thereof is adjusted to allow powdered medicine that is injected in a unit cell to be uniformly distributed inside the unit cell.


Further, the vertical partition member 113, as shown in FIG. 3a, is configured to have a vertical plate 113a, having slots 113b formed to be spaced in correspondence with the horizontal partition member and an inclined surface 113c at an upper surface inclined in a thickness direction, a perpendicular plate 113e extending perpendicularly at both ends of the vertical plate 113a, having an elastic member 113d formed which pressurizes the vertical plate 113a towards a sliding plate 116, an extending plate 113f extending horizontally in a direction opposite to each other from the upper end of the perpendicular plate 113e, and a flat plate 113g extending orthogonally from an end part of the extending plate 113f to be connected with a moving member.


Here, the inclined surface 113c is formed to prevent the vertical plate from being weakened by a slot 113b extending to an upper end while preventing powdered medicine that is injected from being piled at the upper end of the vertical partition member.


Further, the sliding plate 115 is provided with a hinge 115a so that the sliding plate may be folded at regular intervals as shown in FIG. 3b.


The driving means 120 is a component that is connected to the vertical partition member which divides the horizontal direction, to adjust the horizontal spacing of the member.


As a specific configuration of the driving means 120, it is configured to have a driving rotary shaft 122 arranged on one side of the frame 111, that is operated by a handle 121, a driven rotary shaft 123 arranged on the other side of the frame 111, that is linkage driven by a rotation force of the driving rotary shaft, a plurality of rotating bodies 124 having different diameters in a shaft direction, coupled to the driving rotary shaft 122 and driven rotary shaft 123, respectively, and a moving member 125 connecting the rotating bodies 124 to make them mutually linkage driven.


At the exterior circumference of the moving member 125, the vertical partition member 113 is arranged in a number corresponding to the moving member, allowing each of the connected vertical partition members to operate with a different moving distance by the rotation of the rotating body.


Further, each of the rotating bodies 124 have diameters proportional to the moving distance of each of the vertical partition members 113 inside the frame, so as much as the diameter gradually expands from the rotating body of N1 to the rotating body of N5, the moving distance of the vertical partition members connected to N1 to N5 respectively by a moving means each change from L1 to L5, so that the horizontal expansion spacing of the unit cells are made uniform.


For example, each rotating body 124 gradually increases in diameter from N1 to N5, and the moving distance of the vertical partition member 113 which is sequentially connected to N1 to N5 of the rotating body from the left side to the right side in reference to the drawings, are moved in proportion to the diameter of the rotating bodies. The moving distance moves as much as L1 by the rotation of N1, as much as L2 by the rotation of N2, and in this way of moving in distance, the moving distance increases from L1 to L5, so the diameter of the rotating bodies are to be correspondent thereto.


Accordingly, the unit cells 114 partitioned by the vertical partition member and the horizontal partition member are extended according to the movement interval, and a uniform space may be ensured.


The driving means 120 is described in the form of a belt in the drawing, but it may be operated by a gear method, and if it is configured to move the vertical partition member horizontally evenly spaced, then any of the sort may be included.


The dispensing unit 130, as shown in FIG. 4 is configured to have a dispensing slot 132 arranged in plurality, which has a predetermined size and a funnel shape that decreases in size from the upper part towards the lower part, and a sliding plate 131 to be slid and inserted along a guide groove 117 arranged at both ends of the dispensing slot 132 and formed on the frame 111.


The dispensing means 130 is arranged in a number corresponding to the spacing of the unit cells that divide the frame horizontally, and the unit cells that are divided vertically, are assembled in a block shape as to be adjusted according to the amount of powdered medicine to be dispensed and packaged.


That is, the dispensing means 130 is detachable in a cartridge manner according to the quantity of the unit cells in which powdered medicine is vertically divided.


The holding unit 140 is arranged at a lower part of the partition means 110 and is not shown in the drawings as a means to support a medicine bag located under the dispensing means 130, but may be guided from the partition means and coupled as a slidingly detachable structure.


On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a horizontal separating plate 150 and a vertical separating plate 160 are further provided.


The horizontal separating plate 150 is configured to have a horizontal plate 151 having a length corresponding with a horizontal spacing of the frame 111, a handle 152 arranged at both ends of the horizontal plate 151, and a gap blocker 154 arranged in a length direction at a lower part of the horizontal plate 151, and the gap blocker 154 may be in form of a sol or use urethane, silicone, etc. that has excellent elasticity.


That is, the horizontal separating plate 150 is arranged having a corresponding length with the horizontal partition member at the upper part of the horizontal partition member.


The vertical separating plate 160 is configured to have slots 162 corresponding to the number of horizontal partition members, and a vertical plate 161 having a groove 163 formed in a length direction to be fixed to the vertical partition member in a clip form.


Further, the vertical separating plate 160 includes a plurality thereof that is formed with different vertical length according to the location the horizontal separating plate 150 is partitioned.


For example, the horizontal separating plate 150 and the vertical separating plate 160 are configured to separate the partitioned unit cells 114 according to the number of powdered medicine being divided to separate them from unit cells not being used.


Here, the number of vertical partition members is illustrated as 5, and the number of horizontal partition members is illustrated as 11, but it is noted that the number of vertical partition members and horizontal partition members may be increasingly formed according to the number of packages of powdered medicine, and it is also noted that the rotating bodies of the driving means is correspondingly increased.


Hereinafter, the operation state of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.


First, a dispensing means 130 which is blocked in the form of a cartridge to match the quantity of medicine to be packaged, is slidingly inserted into the lower part of the partition means and then, as shown in FIG. 2, a necessary amount of medicine wrapping paper (MB) is arranged on the holding unit 140 to enable the opening of each medicine wrapping paper to be inserted in the dispensing slot of the dispensing means 130.


Then, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the unit cell 114 is separated by using the horizontal separating plate 150 and vertical separating plate 160 as needed and powdered medicine (PW) is injected in the separated unit cell 114. At this time, the horizontal separating plate 150 is located on an upper part of the horizontal partition member 112, and the vertical separating plate 160 is closely arranged on a side of the vertical partition member arranged at the very right side out of the vertical partition members 113 in reference to the drawing, and an end part of a side of the vertical separating plate is closely arranged to a side of the horizontal separating plate.


Further, medicine that is mixed according to a prescription that is pulverized in a large number and arranged is used as the powdered medicine.


If the amount of powdered medicine to be injected is large, horizontal separating plate is moved towards another horizontal partition member to partition the horizontal separator plate, and a vertical separating plate corresponding thereto is arranged on the vertical partition member side. That is, the vertical separating plate is prepared individually in plurality to have a length corresponding to the spacing of the divided horizontal partition member.


In this state, if the powdered medicine (PW) is injected into the separated unit cells 114, the injected powdered medicine is piled up to have a higher height than the one partitioned by the horizontal partition member and vertical partition member, so this must be adjusted so that powdered medicine is uniformly distributed to the unit cells.


For this, as shown in FIG. 8, the handle 121 is operated so that as the driving rotary shaft 122 and the driven rotary shaft 123 are rotated the connected moving means 125 is moved in the rotating direction.


At this time, a vertical partition member 113 is connected to the moving means 125 so the vertical partition member moves as much as the moving distance of the moving means.


Further, each of the vertical partition members is moved in different distances by rotating bodies having different diameters, so the partitioned unit cells are expanded with uniform spacing, and powdered medicine (PW) as shown in FIG. 9 for the expanded unit cells 114′ is horizontally aligned with the upper end of the unit cell 114


According to another method, when the total volume of the powdered medicine is known, the spacing of the vertical partition members at which the powdered medicine becomes aligned horizontally with the upper end of each unit cell may be calculated by a simple calculation, and the vertical partition member is moved at the same interval and then the powdered medicine is injected, and the upper part of the partition member is evened out. At this time, it is possible to install a scale along the vertical direction to accurately identify the spacing between the vertical partition members.


Then, as shown in FIG. 10, if the moving means 125 is moved by rotating the rotating body to inject a uniformly divided powdered medicine to the medicine wrapping paper, each of the connected vertical partition members 113 are vertically aligned with the unit dispensing slots 132 arranged underneath.


In this state, when the sliding plate 115 disposed at the lower part of the partition means is slid out along the guide groove 116, the powdered medicine placed in the unit cell is naturally introduced towards the medicine wrapping paper (MB) arranged respectively along the dispensing slot 132. At this time, the sliding plate 115 is arranged with a hinge 115a at regular intervals in a sliding direction so that the sliding plate is lowered downward when the sliding plate is slid off, thereby minimizing the space occupied by the sliding plate.


When the powdered medicine is injected into the medicine wrapping paper, uniformly distributed powdered medicine is stored in each medicine wrapping paper when the powdered medicine is separated from the dispensing slot.


At this time, when the holding unit 140 is enabled to slide off from the partition means, it is possible to easily perform a packaging operation by separating a medicine wrapping paper in a state inserted into the dispensing slot at once.


As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the powdered medicine dispensation packaging apparatus 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention comprises a partition means 110, driving means 120, a dispensing means 210, an individual slot 220, an upper guide plate 230, a first horizontal driving unit 240, a first vertical driving unit 250, an auxiliary slot unit 260, a lower guide plate 270, a second horizontal driving unit 280 and a second vertical driving unit 290.

The lower guide plate 270 is a means to guide the individual slots when moving horizontally to move back to the upper guide plate after the individual slots drop the powdered medicine into the medicine wrapping paper, wherein a cutting hole 271 cut so that the individual slot may move towards the auxiliary slot unit with a length corresponding to the upper guide plate is formed on one side.


The second horizontal driving unit 280 and the second vertical driving unit 290 are arranged in a position corresponding to the first horizontal driving unit 240 and the first vertical driving unit 250, respectively, and the description thereof is omitted.


According to the second embodiment of the present invention, a split sealing machine 300 which is neighboring the auxiliary slot unit 260 while being arranged on the side of the proceeding direction of the medicine wrapping paper (MB) to allow the cartridge to be divided vertically, is further arranged to enable the powdered medicine injected in medicine wrapping paper to be packaged in divided areas.


Further, the medicine wrapping paper is guided by the guide roller 310 in the form of a roll, and passes between the auxiliary slots, and stores a powdered medicine that is dropped from the auxiliary slot.


Here, the dispensing means, the first horizontal driving unit, and the second horizontal driving unit, the first vertical driving unit and the second vertical driving unit are respectively operated by a motor (not shown) connected to a shaft, and the motor is not shown, but is controlled by a control unit for controlling each operation.


Hereinafter, the operation state of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.


First, as in the first embodiment of the present invention, a partition means 110 and a driving means 120 is used for dividing the powdered medicine into unit cells, and then as shown in FIG. 16, the lower part of divided powdered medicine is opened stepwise to allow the divided powdered medicine to be moved to a slot 211 of a dispensing means 210. At this time, in the present embodiment, the distribution means is moved vertically from the lower part of the partition means and driving means so that the powdered medicine is separated, but on the other hand, an entire partition means and driving means may move stepwise and the medicine may be dropped by the dispensing unit.


The powdered medicine injected to the dispensing means is made to be present in a slot closed by a cover 211a, and a hanging bar 211c arranged in the cover according to the movement of the slot is caught by a pressing bar 216a and is turned by a hinge 211b to be slowly opened to allow the powdered medicine to be dropped towards the individual slots 220 arranged underneath to store the powdered medicine inside each individual slot. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the first horizontal driving unit 240 is operated to push the individual slots 220 to the first vertical driving unit 250, thereby enabling the individual slots 220′ of the front end of the unit individual slots to be connected to the guiding unit 254 of the first vertical driving unit 250.


That is, the dispensing means is able to inject the powdered medicine from the dispensing means in a stepwise manner as it is moved towards the powdered medicine of the state stored in the unit cells, and are opened by a pressing bar arranged on the lower part of the individual slots to allow the powdered medicine to be dropped into individual slots.


In this state, the first vertical driving unit 250 is operated to move the individual slots 220′ of the grabbed state to a lower side and move to the auxiliary slot unit 260 to allow the individual slots 220′ to be located on the powdered medicine guider 266 side of the auxiliary slot unit 260.


Next, as shown in FIG. 18, when the individual slot is lowered by operating the first vertical driving unit 250, the pressing unit 223e of the opening means 223 coupled to the individual slots 220′ pushes the guide bar 265 and the pressurized guide bar compresses the first spring 264 and is lowered so the lower end of the powdered medicine guider 266 is inserted between the medicine wrapping paper (MB), making the gap in between the medicine wrapping paper to be spaced apart from each other.


Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19, by the individual slots that descend when the compressive force generated by the continuous compression of the first spring 264 is stronger than the spring force of the second spring, powdered medicine guider 266 is opened apart oppositely from each other and the medicine wrapping paper becomes even more spaced apart while a cover 222 of the lower part of the individual slots is opened by an operation of a link and a perpendicular shaft of an opening means of a pressed state, so that the powdered medicine that used to be stored is dropped and stored in a medicine wrapping paper.


After dropping the powdered medicine from the individual slots, as shown in FIG. 20, the medicine wrapping paper is horizontally moved, while simultaneously the stored powdered medicine is partitioned by using the split fusion machine 300.


Further, the individual slots 220′ to which the dropping of powdered medicine is finished, operates the first vertical driving unit 250 in an upper direction to pass through the cutting hole 271 of the lower guide plate 270 while simultaneously operating a second horizontal driving unit 280 to move while being guided by the lower guide plate 270 towards the second vertical driving unit 290, and then by the second vertical driving unit 290 passing through the cutting hole 232 of the upper guide plate 230 of the upper part and may be positioned in the first horizontal driving unit.


Then, the first horizontal driving unit operates a movement that moves the individual slots horizontally again to move the individual slots to be located under the distribution unit.


This operation is repeatedly performed and the powdered medicine, which is divided by the partition means, can be injected into a continuous process.


As described above, the present invention may be able to correspond to an appropriate amount required by the patient as well as allow quick uniform separation of the powdered medicine to be divided, thereby obtaining high efficiency at low cost in a hospital dealing with a large amount of powdered medicine.

Further, the first driving means 320 moves the third member as an endless track 322 operates between the grooves 311b formed on the bottom plate 311a to change the sizes of the unit cells dividing the frame.


Here the first driving means 320 is arranged in a number corresponding to a plurality of vertical partition members 313 forming unit cells as it moves horizontally to individually operate each vertical partition member, and a diameter of the rotating body is formed to allow each of the vertical partition members to operate in proportion to the distance moved.


That is, the first driving means 320 performs an operation for individually moving a plurality of vertical partition members to a predetermined length in a horizontal direction.


For example, when the first driving means 320 are individually connected to the vertical partition members, the first driving means referred to as M1 to M6 respectively, and the vertical partition members referred to as L1 to L6, respectively, they are connected in a manner in which M1 and L1 are connected, and M2 and L2 are connected, and the moving distance of L2 is moved farther than L1, and thus the rotating body may have a corresponding diameter thereto. In such a way, the diameter of the rotating body is differed from each other so as to perform the operation of M1 to M6 to correspond to a moving distance of L1 to L6, and apart from this, a measurement means (not shown) capable of measuring the number of rotations of the rotary body is provided whereby the moving distances of the vertical partition members may be adjusted by varying the number of rotations of a motor in a rotating body with a same diameter.


The second driving means 330 is configured to have a rotating body 331 arranged at both sides of the frame horizontally, an endless track 332 which surrounds the rotating body and operates by the rotating body, and a bracket (not shown) for individually connecting the endless track 332 to the respective frames 3111, 3112, 3113.


That is, the second driving means 330 is arranged in a number corresponding to each frame that is stacked and performs an operation of moving the frame in a vertical direction.


Here, the first driving means 320 is described in the form of a belt in the drawing, but it may be operated by a gear method, and if it is configured to move the vertical partition member horizontally evenly spaced, then any of the sort may be included, and it is described to be operated by the handle but it is also possible to be connected to a motor and such to be operated.


The dispensing means 340 is located under the partition means 310 as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, and a plurality thereof is arranged to have spacing which corresponds with the spacing of the unit cells partitioned by a the vertical partition members. A storage slot 341 having an open upper part and a lower part which is opened and closed by a cover 346a, formed to decrease gradually more towards the bottom part, to store powdered medicine that is partitioned from the unit cells, and an opening means 346 which is connected to the cover 346a and performs an operation for opening and closing the cover 346a from the storage slot 341 is configured.


The opening means 346 is configured to have a hinge 346b for rotatably connecting the cover 346a and the storage slot 341, a link 346c which a side thereof is fixed to the hinge 346b and has a link shaft 346d in a state extended to a certain length on an end, a perpendicular bar 346e which is rotatably connected to the link shaft 346d and has a certain length extended in a vertical direction, a pressing plate 346g which extends orthogonally at the end of the perpendicular bar 346e and is pressed by an auxiliary slot unit which will be described below, and a guide unit 346f having a guide groove 346h formed to guide the perpendicular bar 346e when moving in a vertical direction. The guide unit 346f is connected to a side of the storage slot 341.


The third driving unit 350 is arranged in a vertical direction and configured to have a plurality of rotating bodies 351 arranged respectively on both lateral sides of the dispensing means 340, an endless track 352 which surrounds each rotating body 351 and operates to be connected vertically, and a bracket 353 for connecting the endless track 352 and the dispensing means 340.


The auxiliary slot unit 360 is arranged under the dispensing means 340 to be operated by the dispensing means 340 moving downward, as shown in FIG. 24, a pair of perpendicular shafts 361 which are arranged at both sides of the medicine wrapping paper (MB) moving the lower part in a horizontal direction, an upper fixing bar 362 fixed on the upper end of the perpendicular bar 361 and a lower fixing bar 363 arranged at a position spaced apart with a certain spacing from the upper fixing bar 362, a first spring 364 arranged between the upper fixing bar and the lower fixing bar, a guide bar 365 inserted into a perpendicular shaft to be supported by the first spring 364, and a powdered medicine guider 366 rotatably coupled to the guide bar 365.


Here, the powdered medicine guider 366 is arranged to have a curved shape as a pair in group in a number corresponding to the dispensing means 340 and storage slot 341, and a second spring 367 is further included between the powdered medicine guider and guide bar so that the pair of powdered medicine guiders 366 are pressed in a direction opposite to each other.


It is preferable that the second spring 367 has a relatively strong elasticity relative to the first spring 164. This is to allow the powdered medicine guider to be opened by pressurizing the individual slot after the first spring is first compressed and constantly compressed by the pressing force when the powdered medicine guider is pressurized by the individual slots entering the upper part.


The split sealing machine 370 is arranged between a plurality of powdered medicine guiders 366 arranged evenly spaced in the proceeding direction of the medicine wrapping paper and configured to moves towards the medicine wrapping paper to seal the medicine wrapping paper using heat or high frequency waves when powdered medicine is injected in the medicine wrapping paper, wherein a general sealer for sealing medicine wrapping paper and the like is used.


Hereinafter, the operation state of the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.


According to the present invention, the horizontal sections of the unit cells 314 are described as three in number.


The powdered medicine filled in the unit cells, must change the volume of the unit cells according to a dose since the powdered medicine corresponding to a single dose is accommodated in one unit cell, and the volume of the unit cells must be changed through the movement of the vertical partition member and the capacity of the powdered medicine being filled in each unit cell must be uniform. For this, as shown in FIG. 27, a predetermined amount of powdered medicine (PW) is injected and filled in a separated space by the unit cells 314 partitioned to be evenly spaced inside a frame 311 by horizontal partition members 312 and vertical partition members 313.


In the multilayered frame, the lowermost frame and the intermediate frame are in a state completely filled with the powdered medicine, but at the uppermost frame it is in a piled up state and since the volume spacing of the unit cells don't meet the capacity of one dosage, the uniform distributions of the powdered medicine has not been performed on all of the unit cells.


In this state, to uniformly distribute in respect to each unit cell of the powdered medicine, as shown in FIG. 28, the first driving means 320 is operated to move the vertical partition member 313 in a horizontal direction to a certain extent.


At this time, the first driving means 320 are divided into M1 to M6 and are individually connected to each of the vertical partition members distinguished as L1 to L6, so that the moving distance of L1 to L6 is different depending on the operation of M1 to M6.


That is, in order to uniformly distribute the powdered medicine in the unit cells, L1 and L2, L3 and L4, L5 and 16 are in close contact respectively, and M1 to M6 are operated respectively, so that L3 and L4 is moved twice as much as the distance L1 and L2 moved, and L5 and L6 are moved four times as much in distance. At this time, the operation of the first driving means is operated by a control signal of a control unit (not shown).


Shown here is, the frame when seen from a plan view, so the frames stacked at a lower part are simultaneously operated by the connection of the first member to third member of the vertical partition member so the operation of the vertical partition member in the entire frame can be described as the operation of the uppermost frame.


When a generally uniform powdered medicine is distributed in the unit cells by the horizontal expansion of the vertical partition members, as shown in FIG. 29, the spacing of unit cells 314′ in a state where it is expanded to match the spacing of the dispensing means arranged underneath is maintained as the spacing of the unit cells filled with the powdered medicine is adjusted.


That is, the spacing between the first ({circle around (1)}) to third ({circle around (3)}) unit cells filled with powdered medicine distributed between L1 and L2, L2 and L3, L4 and L5 respectively, is maintained as L2 to L6 are generally moved in a horizontal direction, to form a space between L1 and L2, L3 and L4, and L5 and L6 respectively, so that through this spacing, the space in between the storage slots of the dispensing means arranged at a lower part is adjusted to match, and also by maintaining the spacing in between the first ({circle around (1)}) to third ({circle around (3)}), when the frame is moved vertically the powdered medicine is prevented from falling over to a frame of the middle layer from a frame of the uppermost layer while powdered medicine may be dropped to the dispensing means.


Also, as shown in FIG. 29, after expanding the vertical partition member, a frame of the uppermost layer is moved vertically, so that the powdered medicine in the frame is dropped while simultaneously the height of the powdered medicine placed on the middle layer is uniformly weighed using the frame, and the vertical partition member of L1 to L6 is returned as shown in FIG. 28 after dropping the powdered medicine of the uppermost layer and the middle layer, so the vertical partition member is expanded to its maximum at a state where L2 is attached to L1, L4 to L3, and L6 to L5, and then moving the uppermost layer vertically to drop, wherein this method is used to sequentially drop the powdered medicine of each layer to have it stacked on the dispensing means. At this time, through a guide groove 3113a formed at a lower part of the horizontal partition member of the lowermost layer, it is possible to move without being interrupted by a hanging protrusion.


According to another method, when the total volume of the powdered medicine is known, the spacing of the vertical partition members at which the powdered medicine becomes aligned horizontally with the upper end of each unit cell may be calculated by a simple calculation, and the vertical partition member is moved at the same interval and then the powdered medicine is injected, and the upper part of the partition member is evened out. At this time, it is possible to install a scale along the vertical direction to accurately identify the spacing between the vertical partition members.


Next, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, a powdered medicine which is partitioned by a partition means 310 drops to a dispensing means arranged under the partition means, and a second driving means 330 connected to the uppermost frame 3111 is operated first to allow the powdered medicine to drop into the unit cells 314′ divided by the horizontal partition member 312 and the vertical partition member.


That is, the second driving means 330 moves the frames 3111, 3112, 3113 of the partition means in the vertical direction and the powdered medicine filled in the unit cells is dropped stepwise to the distribution means, wherein the powdered medicine in the frame located at a lower part thereof is weighed to be compared to be equal with the height of the frame, thereby preventing the powdered medicine in the unit cell from being lost in the process of moving the frame to the storage slot side by the guide plate 341a which is extended with an incline to one side of the storage slot 341.


On the other hand, in the operation of the present invention only the process of dropping from the first unit cell of the uppermost frame 3111 will be described as follows. This is because the dropping process of powdered medicine is the same to that of other frames.


When the uppermost frame 3111 is moved in a vertical direction by the operation of the second driving means, a powdered medicine (PW) is dropped inside the storage slot 341 by way of a guide plate 341a of a storage slot 341 located on a lower part.


The dropped powdered medicine is placed in the storage slot 341, and is lowered by operation of the third driving means 350 as shown in FIG. 32.


As shown in FIG. 33, it is located on the upper side of the auxiliary slot unit 360 arranged under the dispensing means 340, and when the storage slot 341 is lowered, the pressing unit 346g of the opening means 346 coupled to the storage slot 341′ presses the guide bar 365 and the pressurized guide bar compresses and lowers the first spring 364 and the lower end of the powdered medicine guider 366 is inserted between the medicine wrapping paper (MB), making the gap in between the medicine wrapping paper to be spaced apart from each other.


In this state, as shown in FIG. 34, the powdered medicine guider 366 cancels out the spring force of the second spring due to the storage slot which is lowered when the compressive force generated by the continuous compression of the first spring 364 is stronger than the spring force of the second spring, and the powdered medicine guider 366 is opened apart oppositely from each other and the medicine wrapping paper becomes more spaced apart while a cover 364a of the lower part of the storage slots 341′ is opened by an operation of a link 346c and a perpendicular shaft of an opening means in a pressed state, so that the powdered medicine (PW) that used to be stored is dropped and stored in a medicine wrapping paper (MB).


A plurality of split sealing machines 370 arranged in evenly spaced manner as shown in FIG. 32 operate oppositely facing the medicine wrapping paper in a direction towards it to seal it to make the medicine wrapping paper separated from each other.


Here, each shaft is connected to a motor (not shown) to operate, and the motor is not shown but is controlled by a control unit for controlling each operation.


This operation is repeatedly performed and the powdered medicine divided by the partition means may be injected in a continuous process.


In this way, it is possible not only to respond to an appropriate amount in compliance with the amount required by a patient, but also to rapidly divide the powdered medicine uniformly, and thereby it is possible to obtain a large effect with less expense in a hospital handling a large amount of powdered medicine.


Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is intended to aid in the understanding of the technical content of the present invention, and the technical scope of the invention is not intended to be limited thereto.


That is, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the technical gist of the present invention, and such changes and modifications are within the technical scope of the present invention in view of the interpretation of the claims.
