PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for dividing powder medicine capable of raking the powder medicine spread in an annular recessed groove of a rotating table in a radial direction of the rotating table to equally divide the powder medicine in a precise manner.SOLUTION: The device for dividing power medicine includes: a rotating table 10 having the annular recessed groove 11 and a dividing and raking mechanism 20 for raking the powder medicine in the annular recessed groove. After spreading the powder medicine in the annular recessed groove, the rotating table is rotated at a predetermined pitch and the powder medicine in the annular recessed groove is stemmed by the dividing and raking mechanism. The stemmed powder medicine is raked in a radial direction of the rotating table. The device has a sensor S for detecting whether a height of the powder medicine spread in the annular recessed groove is over a predetermined height, or not, and corrects a pitch of rotation of the rotating table according to the result detected by the sensor S to determine a final pitch of rotation.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】回転テーブルの環状凹溝内に振り撒いた散薬を当該回転テーブルの径方向に掻き取って精度良く均等に分割することができる散薬分割装置を提供する。【解決手段】環状凹溝11が設けられた回転テーブル10と、環状凹溝内の散薬を掻き取るための分割掻き取り機構20とを備え、環状凹溝内に散薬を振り撒いた後、回転テーブルを所定のピッチで回転させると共に、分割掻き取り機構によって、環状凹溝内の散薬を堰き止め、当該堰き止められた散薬を回転テーブルの径方向に掻き取る散薬分割装置であって、環状凹溝内に振り撒かれた散薬の高さが所定の高さを超えているか否かを検出するためのセンサSを備え、センサSによる検出結果に応じて、回転テーブルの回転ピッチを補正して、最終的な回転ピッチを決定するように構成されている。【選択図】 図1
