PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning device of the hopper of a medicine packing machine capable of being miniaturized and shortening the charging time of a nozzle into the hopper.SOLUTION: The cleaning device of the hopper of the medicine packing machine is constituted so as to charge the medicine, which is received by the hopper 4 for receiving the medicine from a medicine supply part, to packing paper from the opening part provided to the lower end of the hopper 4 to seal the same by the packing paper and equipped with the nozzle 9 charged in the hopper 4 from above through a first drive mechanism to spray air. The nozzle 9 is attached to the movable body 14 made freely movable by a second drive mechanism so as to be allowed to approach and leave the hopper 4, and the plate 19 for closing the upper end of the hopper 4 before the nozzle 9 is charged in the hopper 4 by the first drive mechanism is integrated with the movable body 14.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】小型化を図ることができるだけでなく、ノズルをホッパーへ投入するまでの時間を短くできる薬剤分包機のホッパーの清掃装置を提供する。【解決手段】薬剤供給部からの薬剤を受け取るホッパー4にて受止めた薬剤を該ホッパー4の下端の開口部から分包紙に投入してシールするように構成し、前記ホッパー4内にそれの上方から第1駆動機構を介して投入してエアを吹き付けるノズル9を備え、前記ノズル9を前記ホッパー4に対して接近離間させるべく、第2駆動機構により移動自在な可動体14に取り付け、前記ホッパー4に前記ノズル9が前記第1駆動機構にて投入される前に該ホッパー4の上端を閉じるためのプレート19を、前記可動体14に一体化した。【選択図】図4
