AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing solid preparation conveying devices struggle with maintaining the posture of solid pharmaceutical products during transfer, leading to instability and unintended postures due to high-speed rotation and frictional resistance, which can result in misalignment and potential falling.

Method used

A solid dosage form conveying device with a direction-regulating roller that includes upright and collapsed holding portions on its surface, connected by an inclined surface, uses vacuum adsorption and optionally a guide member or compressed gas to transition solid formulations from an upright to a collapsed state, ensuring stable posture change and maintenance.

Benefits of technology

The device reliably changes and maintains the posture of solid preparations, preventing misalignment and ensuring stable delivery to the next process, enhancing processing capacity without high-speed rotation.

Abstract

To provide a solid prepared medicine carrier device capable of securely changing the posture of solid prepared medicine and also passing the solid prepared medicine to a following process while securely maintaining the posture having been change.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a solid prepared medicine carrier device 1 that comprises a direction restriction roller 10 which carries solid prepared medicine F received in a standing state at a reception position P1 and passes it in a falling state to a following process at a passing position P2, wherein a storage part 11 of the direction restriction roller 10 comprises a standing holding part which holds the solid prepared medicine F in the standing state, and a falling holding part which is formed having its bottom shallower than the standing holding part, and holds the solid prepared medicine F in the falling state, the standing holding part and falling holding part are arranged adjacently in an axial direction of the direction restriction roller 10, and also have their bottom faces connected together through an inclined surface being inclined in the axial direction, and a standing suction hole and a falling suction hole for vacuum-sucking the solid prepared medicine F are formed in the bottom faces of the standing holding part and falling holding part, respectively.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
