Fig. 7 (A)～(D) illustrates the connection operation that roller is changed the wrapper S following.

When operating personnel connects wrapper S, is first AR1 than centre line L C by inboard region at operation plate 151, so that the rearward end SA of remaining wrapper S on roller 41 that the state configuration that clamper CL1 keeps out of the way uses is (in Fig. 7, by long and two-short dash line, represented) (Fig. 7 (A)), can the rearward end SA of wrapper S is temporary fixed (Fig. 7 (B)) by this clamper CL1 is returned.

At this, Fig. 8 (A)～(C) is the figure of the temporary fixed operation of the wrapper S that observes from side.As shown in Figure 8, when temporary fixed, the rearward end SA of the wrapper S of doubling is opened into section V word shape (Fig. 8 (A)), make to become the bending part SK on its summit and a sidepiece 151K butt (Fig. 8 (B)) of operation plate 151, under this state, by upper and lower a pair of clamper CL1 from clamping up and down rearward end SA (Fig. 8 (C)).Temporary fixed owing to carrying out under the state making by this way the bending part SK of wrapper S and a sidepiece 151K butt of operation plate 151, therefore can be positioned at exactly each identical position.

It should be noted that, as shown in Fig. 8 (C), the front end of each clamper CL1 bloats towards operation plate 151, can press wrapper S by this front end.

When use on roller 41, the temporary card of remaining wrapper S closes the end of job time, as shown in Fig. 7 (C), is second portion AR2 than centre line L C near the region of front side at operation plate 151, so that the leading section SB of the wrapper S of the new roller 41 of the state configuration that clamper CL2 keeps out of the way is (in Fig. 7, by long and two-short dash line, represented), by this clamper CL2 is returned, thus can the leading section SB of this wrapper S is temporary fixed (Fig. 7 (D)).In this case, as shown in Figure 8, temporary fixed by carrying out under the state making the bending part SK of wrapper S and a sidepiece 151K butt of operation plate 151, also can be positioned at exactly thus each identical position.Thus, as shown in Fig. 7 (D), can be easily the rearward end SA of the wrapper S before changing be alignd point-blank with the leading section SB of wrapper S after replacing.

Then, with centre line L, C serves as a mark, on centre line L C, at the upper end SB (or SA) that covers the opposing party's wrapper S of the end SA (or SB) of a side wrapper S, and use the connection adhesive tape (Acrylic Foam Tape) of double-sided adhesive mould assembly or the connection adhesive tape (one side adhesive tape) of one side adhesion type that two wrapper S are coupled together.It should be noted that, when carrying out this connection operation and above-mentioned interim engaging, by operation plate 151 is suitably swung to confirming at the back side, can easily confirm doubling both whether in suitable state.

Now, if the leading section SB of the wrapper S of the new roller 41 that formerly the rearward end SA of the wrapper S of the roller using 41 of engaging engages after covering temporarily temporarily from outside, can successfully carry out overlapping operation, therefore and can not make the leading section SB of the wrapper S of new roller 41 expose to the inner side of doubling, the connecting portion such as can obtain when the wrapper S that makes doubling expands near nozzle 44 can not become the such advantage of obstacle.

It should be noted that, the present invention is not limited to this, also can be contrary to the above, in the inner side of the rearward end SA of the wrapper S of the roller 41 using, cover the leading section SB of the wrapper S of new roller 41, in this case, because the leading section SB of the wrapper S of new roller 41 does not expose to the outside of doubling, therefore can obtain connecting portion when carrying by carrying roller 46 etc. can not become the such advantage of obstacle.

Make as in this embodiment roller 41 in removable mode, assemble, to being wound on wrapper S on this roller 41, applying tension force and carry wrapper S and carry out in the structure of filling etc. of medicament, the transportation route of wrapper S is long, and it is complicated that structure easily becomes.So, in the present embodiment, on the basis of this structure, setting possesses to be carried out the temporary fixed AR1 of first and the end SB of new wrapper S is carried out to the operation plate 151 of temporary fixed second portion AR2 the end SA at the remaining wrapper S of nozzle (medicament filling part) 44 side, and the end SA, the SB that are temporarily fixed on each wrapper S of the AR1 of first and second portion AR2 can be connected, therefore can make operating personnel easily carry out the connection operation of two wrapper S with simple structure.

In addition, due to the AR1 of first and second portion AR2 are formed on a plate, so operation is easy, and simple in structure.In addition, when opening, the

8,8 that is arranged on bottom section body 4 due to operation plate 151 to the position of nearby exposing, therefore also can make in this way the connection operation of wrapper S become easy.

And, as shown in Figure 4, the operation plate 151 of present embodiment along with for carrying the plane M1 that extends on the axial orthogonal directions of the first carrying roller 53 of wrapper S, therefore without take off the rearward end SA of the wrapper S replacing from the first carrying roller 53, can make it directly to the AR1 of first of operation plate 151, easily move, therefore the temporary card cooperation industry of existing wrapper S becomes easy.

In addition, this the first carrying roller 53 is arranged on the carrying roller of the upstream of transportation route, therefore it is positioned at the position that comparison wrapper S applies the top trips such as mobile rollers 54 of tension force, can, without from comprising that the carrying roller 53～54 of mobile rollers 54 takes off wrapper S and carries out the connection operation of wrapper S, therefore not need again to hang the operation of wrapper S.

And then, to the position of nearby exposing, so the connection operation of wrapper S becomes easy when open at the

Qianmen

8,8 that is arranged on bottom section body 4 due to this operation plate 151.In addition, because this operation plate 151 is arranged to make surface and the back side and can be swung freely to nearby exposing, so the attitude of operation plate 151 can be adjusted to and easily wrapper S be carried out temporary fixedly, can connect more easily operation.Therefore, doubling and the connection operation of the wrapper S that reels are easily carried out.

And, in the present embodiment, be configured to and packaging unit 18 can be disposed under the state in bottom section body 4 end SA, the SB of each wrapper S are coupled together.In other words, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, employing is above being disposed at and near below the operation plate 151 of front side and dispose the structure of feeding sheet materials dish 42 near front side, therefore not from forwards extract packaging unit 18 in bottom section body 4 out in the situation that, operating personnel also can take off the roller 41 replacing and new roller 41 is installed from feeding sheet materials dish 42, then, the end SA of the wrapper S of roller 41 sides before changing is engaged with operation plate 151 temporarily, then the end SB of the wrapper S of new roller 41 is engaged with operation plate 151 temporarily, and two wrapper S are coupled together.Thus, in the situation that the working space in medicament packaging device 1 the place ahead is narrower, also can carry out above-mentioned operation.

It should be noted that, under the state that packaging unit 18 is forwards extracted out from bottom section body 4, certainly also can carry out above-mentioned operation.

Conventionally, after so wrapper S being connected, need to avoid to the situation of connecting portion filling medicament.In this case, if the FEED button etc. that wrapper is carried use is set, and make operating personnel must operate FEED button until connecting portion by medicament filling position, this operation is complicated, therefore not by preferably.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the detecting sensor (test section) 161 (with reference to Fig. 5) of the connecting portion that detects wrapper S is set, according to the testing result of this detecting sensor 161, skip the connecting portion of the filling processing etc. of medicament and skip processing, thereby not to connecting portion filling medicament.

< detecting sensor >

Fig. 9 is the figure that schematically shows the structure of detecting sensor 161.

Detecting sensor 161 consists of the optical sensor of infiltration type, possessing towards detected object is the light accepting part 163 that wrapper S ejaculation checks the illuminating part 162 of light and accepts to see through the inspection light of wrapper S, by detecting the connecting portion that detects wrapper S in the connecting portion of the wrapper S difference that sees through light quantity different from connecting portion position in addition.

In addition, this detecting sensor 161 detects near the light quantity that the sees through bending part SK of wrapper S.Detect near bending part SK see through light quantity be because, state in the use in the situation that operation plate 151 connects wrapper S, by striding across bending part SK, paste and connect adhesive tape, can detect reliably having or not of this connection adhesive tape.In addition, also the mark different from connecting adhesive tape can be sticked on to bending part SK with band (band being represented by symbol TM in Figure 11 described later), and this mark is detected with band.In addition, due to the open sides (a sidepiece 151K side) that bending part SK is positioned at operation plate 151, therefore easily to bending part SK, be with and attach operation.

This detecting sensor 161 is disposed at the position by upstream side than the nozzle of filling medicament 44, more particularly, is configured between the roller group 53～55 and print unit 43 of print unit 43 upstreams.

Figure 10 means that connecting portion skips the diagram of circuit of processing, and Figure 11 (A)～(F) is according to time series, to schematically show the figure of wrapper S.It should be noted that, this connecting portion is skipped and processed is the processing of implementing by control part 120 executive control program 127A.

As shown in figure 10, control part 120 be take specified period (being the 5ms cycle in the present embodiment) by detecting sensor 161 and whether is detected the connecting portion as wrapper S, in the situation that the connecting portion (step S11) of wrapper S detected, in arrival, skip position (step S12:NO) and skip before position countdown processing (step S13).

This skips that position countdown processes is to starting to arrive to this connecting portion from the connecting portion of wrapper S being detected that to skip starting position be the processing of carrying out time of print head timing, in the present embodiment, it is suitable that this time and one is wrapped corresponding time of compounding, judges whether to have carried out the adjustment corresponding with a bag.Then, when carrying out the adjustment corresponding with a bag, control part 120 is judged as skips position (step S12:YES), start to skip comprise predetermined processing that the filling of medicament is processed skip processing (step S14).

At this, skip in processing, the medicament that control part 120 makes lettering in processing that the adjustment of medicament follows, that undertaken by print unit 43 process, be undertaken by nozzle 44 is filled handling interrupt, and the transportation processing that the packing that makes to be undertaken by heat seal head 45 is processed, undertaken by conveying roller 46 and delivery unit 48 continues.

So, if do not carry out medicament to fill processing, do not pack and process and transportation processing, can generate empty subpackage, generate empty bag.Control part 120 is skipped to process and is generated empty bag by carrying out this.In addition, 120 pairs of these number of times of skipping processing of control part are counted, and when this count value reaches predetermined set point number (value is 2 in the present embodiment) (step S15:YES), finish to skip processing, and shift to adjust and start to process.By this adjustment, start to process, lettering processing and the medicament filling processing interrupted are started again, can carry out whole processing (lettering is processed, medicament is filled processing, pack processing, transportation processing etc.) that adjustment is followed.

In Figure 11, by symbol CN, represented the connecting portion of wrapper S, by symbol IN, represent not skip and be filled with the subpackage of medicament, by symbol NOT, represented to skip and the not subpackage of filling medicament.As shown in the drawing, in the present embodiment, at connecting portion CN, form empty bag, and the position being connected in the downstream with this connecting portion CN also forms empty bag, and, lettering is not carried out in the region corresponding with these 2 empty bags.Therefore, in the part of connecting portion CN, also similarly wrapper S is carried out thermally weldedly with other parts, can with the same terms, carry by conveying roller 46 and delivery unit 48.In addition owing to not carrying out lettering to wrapping corresponding region with sky, can be therefore empty bag by come from outside visual confirmation without this situation of lettering.

As described above, in the present embodiment, possesses the detecting sensor (test section) 161 that the connecting portion CN at nozzle (medicament filling part) the remaining wrapper S of 44 side and new wrapper S is detected, control part 120 is skipped to the filling processing of the medicament of connecting portion CN according to the testing result of detecting sensor 161, therefore, must operate wrapper with operating personnel carries the existing structure of the FEED button of use to compare, this operation can be do not needed, the man-hour that sheet material is changed the waste of the sheet material of following and reduced operating personnel can be reduced.

In addition, the filling of medicament when control part 120 makes connecting portion CN by nozzle 44 is processed and is skipped repeatedly (being twice in the present embodiment), therefore can prevent reliably to the situation that comprises the area filling medicament of connecting portion CN.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, to the situation of skipping number of times and set for twice is illustrated, but also can set for more than three times.In addition,, from avoiding reliably to the viewpoint that comprises the area filling medicament of connecting portion CN, preferably bag size is less and more increase and skip number of times.In this case, also can be configured to according to the bag size of setting and automatically change and skip number of times.In addition, in the situation that bag size large, skip once and just can avoid reliably to the area filling medicament that comprises connecting portion CN, also can set for once skipping number of times.

In addition, in the present embodiment, control part 120 is skipped the filling processing of medicament and makes on the other hand the packing continuation of being undertaken by heat seal head 45 and generate empty bag at connecting portion CN, therefore, also can enclose paper S at connecting portion CN, can be reliably and easily carry wrapper S.

And then, control part 120 is skipped the lettering being undertaken by print unit 43 at connecting portion CN, to wrapping corresponding region with sky, do not carry out lettering, therefore can from outside, easily be judged as according to there is no this situation of lettering empty bag, can avoid thinking by mistake the situation that has packed medicament into.In addition, detecting sensor 161 is located at the upstream of the print unit 43 arranging in the upstream of wrapper S, therefore, can before carrying out lettering processing, medicament filling is processed and packing processing, detect reliably connecting portion CN.

And then, in the present embodiment, band TM (with reference to Figure 11) for the mark that is set to mark at the connecting portion CN of wrapper S, detecting sensor 161 detects these marks with the having or not of TM, and therefore can detect reliably the connecting portion CN of wrapper S.

Above-mentioned embodiment only means one embodiment of the present invention, in the scope that does not depart from purport of the present invention, can at random be out of shape and apply.For example, in the above-described embodiment, to operation plate 151 being arranged on to the situation of separator of battery plates 57, be illustrated, but be not limited to this, about position and the installation method of operation plate 151, can suitably change.For example, as shown in figure 12, also operation plate 151 can be arranged near the first carrying roller 53.Even if adopt the structure shown in this Figure 12, when operation plate 151 is opened by being arranged on the
