PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tablet counting and filling device which minimizes production of tablet powder from tablets, makes no mistake in the quantity of the tablets which are filled into a container with a simple structure, has a higher conveying speed as compared to the conventional device, and can facilitate maintenance.SOLUTION: The tablet counting and filling device 1 receives the tablets W input to a hopper 2, conveys the tablets with a conveyance mechanism 3, counts the tablets with the counting means 14 and fills the tablets into the container V. In the tablet counting and filling device 1, the conveyance mechanism 3 includes: helical groove rods 5 each having a helical groove 5a formed on the circumferential surface guide rods 6 disposed along the helical groove rods and a rotation driving means 7 for rotating the helical groove rods, and is configured such that at gaps between the helical grooves rods and the guide rods, the tablets are guided and conveyed by the helical grooves of the rotating helical groove rods. Further, the tablet counting and filling device includes a control means 20 for controlling the rotation driving means of the conveyance mechanism, wherein the control means includes an input part 20a, a storage part 20b, a comparison part 20c, a drive control part 20d, and a reset part 20e.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】錠剤からの錠剤粉の発生を最小限とし、簡易な構成で容器に充填される数量に間違いがなく、搬送速度が従来の装置に比較して速く、また、メンテナンスも容易となる錠剤計数充填装置を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】錠剤計数充填装置1は、ホッパ2に投入した錠剤Wを受け取り搬送機構3で搬送して計数手段14により計数して容器Vに充填する錠剤計数充填装置において、前記搬送機構3は、螺旋溝5aを周面に形成した螺旋溝棒5と、この螺旋溝棒に沿って設けたガイド棒6と、螺旋溝棒を回転させる回転駆動手段7を備え、螺旋溝棒およびガイド棒との間となる隙間で、回転する螺旋溝棒の螺旋溝により案内されて錠剤を搬送する構成とした。さらに錠剤計数充填装置は、搬送機構の回転駆動手段を制御する制御手段20を備え、前記制御手段は、入力部20aと、記憶部20bと、比較部20cと、駆動制御部20dと、リセット部20eとを備える。【選択図】図8
