PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medicine packaging apparatus that despite a structure such that powdered medicine supplied to an annular groove with an arcuate cross-section is raked out inward, has excellent conveyance and cleanability of medicine.SOLUTION: Powdered medicine raking means (4) is constructed from an arm section (20) extending from a support section (20a) on the inner diameter side of powdered medicine standby means (2), and from a rake-out section (21) attached to the end of the arm section (20) which is on the side opposite the support section (20a) and raking powdered medicine inward from the annular groove (10) of the powdered medicine standby means (2). Medicine recovery means (5) is constructed from a guide member (31) and a collection member (32). The guide member (31) has a tablet guide path (41) through which a tablet supplied from tablet supply means (6) passes and also has a powdered medicine guide path (40) through which the powdered medicine raked out by the powdered medicine rake-out means (4) passes. The collection member (32) leads medicine coming from the guide member (31), to packaging means (7). The guide member (31) is detachably attached to the collection member (32).COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】断面円弧状の環状溝に供給した散薬を内側に掻き出すようにした構成であっても、薬剤の搬送性及び清掃性に優れた構成とする。【解決手段】散薬掻出手段4を、散薬待機手段2の内径側の支持部20aから延びるアーム部20と、アーム部20の、支持部20aとは反対側の端部に取り付けられ、薬剤待機手段2の環状溝10から内側に散薬を掻き出す掻出部21とで構成する。薬剤回収手段5は、案内部材31と、収集部材32とで構成する。案内部材31は、錠剤供給手段6から供給された錠剤が通過する錠剤案内通路41と、散薬掻出手段4によって掻き出された散薬が通過する散薬案内通路40とを備える。収集部材32は、案内部材31からの薬剤を包装手段7へと導く。案内部材31は、収集部材32に対して着脱可能とする。【選択図】図2
